Sorry, I'm totally out of the loop. I know Linus, but can anyone summarize what is the problem with billet labs?
Can you explain to me how auctioning something that they do not own is a mistake and not malice ? They knew they are being scummy doing that. Especially after the producer asked for it back AND they agreed to send it back. That is like robbing a bank and then saying "come on guys. was the heat of the moment. We didn't think robbing a bank was THAT bad"
Lying to someone and selling someone elses property is not a ''mistake". That is a crime.
I'm working in a company with over 10000 employees. Nobody would ever "accidentally" sell a prototype from another company. Let alone lie to that company about sending it back.
That's easy. An item made its way to logistics, got mislabelled by someone who wasn't concentrating or who didn't know better, item landed in an auction. Apparently LMG needs a better system of internal communication or more micro managing from someone in marketing or communications for handling incoming and outcoming items.
An easy example would be if you forgot a personal book at the library, a librarian mistook it for donation, and then your book becomes catalogued. It doesn't have to be malicious.
Linus tested it on the wrong GPU, then stole one of their prototypes and gave it out at LTX
