Not comparable stock. Even in Q1 2022, 75% of all EV sales in the US were Teslas.

When I bought mine, I legitimately tried to get a Ford or a Volvo, but the dealerships had no stock and kept adding insane dealer fees and markups. With my used Tesla I just had to wait a week for delivery. Musk hadn’t gone fully off the deepend either yet.

Some small corrections here (as I understand them):

In the video, they actually mentioned that Billet’s device was intended for a 3090, but “they (Billet Labs) think it should work with a 4090 too.” Unsure if anyone from Billet ever commented on that, but that seemed to be LMG’s understanding.

Additionally, the device was sent to LMG without an expectation of return. They asked for it back after the poor review, but when it was originally sent over, there were no strings attached.

They did find who the device was sold to, and it was just a random person at LTX (LMG’s tech expo), not a competitor. Sounds like they auctioned off a lot of random stuff from videos there, and it was likely mismanagement rather than malice that caused them to sell it.

The Madison situation is obviously shitty, but I think there’s a big distinction between her experiences involving sexual harassment and the “grind mindset” culture that LMG seems to have. Both are problems, but one is obviously larger than the other. I believe the new CEO stated they’re going to bring in external investigators regarding the sexual harassment claims.

When it comes to them rushing things to keep up an unreasonable video schedule, I think that’s a valid criticism, but in no way do I feel like it’s some kind of line in the sand that can’t ever be forgiven. I also think that GN probably should have asked for comment before releasing this kind of criticism against arguably their largest competitor.

I love seeing “aggressively LGBTQ inclusive” tankies bend over backwards to support a literal homophobic fascist dictatorship and parrot their talking points.

It’s because that’s how we talk. We say October 5th, not the 5th of October.

I used RIF for 12 years and I think Thunder is pretty close. The only thing it’s really missing for me is better comment navigation.

I actually really enjoy the gesture upvoting it has, and it’s very customizable. The debs are super active and responsive on github and matrix too.

CachyOS is also really easy to install and treats KDE well

We have them in Florida. It’s just very cold in the Northern USA.
