He never had any business running a company this size. permalink fedilink source parent [–] drlecompte@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 3 years ago I don't think he cares about the money all that much, he just wants to be the nr.1 tech YouTube guy. If he was in it for the money, he'd be doing something else. He wants to be validated above all, and he has little regard for other people's needs. That's a dangerous cocktail. permalink fedilink source parent [–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works -5 points 3 years ago (1 child) I don't think he cares about money, he cares about having fun and public recognition. So he works his people really hard towards that end even if they can't handle it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Tak@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works -2 points 3 years ago (1 child) He is stingy yes, but I feel like that was also an excuse for not wanting to redo stuff. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kquote03@lemm.ee 6 points 3 years ago (1 child) I mean if he straight up said 500$ what other excuse is there? On his initial (bad) response he says that it's because the outcome wouldn't be affected because the product is "bad". But no way in hell Linus is THAT stupid, ie to think that a 3090TI block would work the same on a 4090. I mean since he has the lab and all he could have just sent it to them to verify if the cooler makes good contact with the dye and other chips on the 4090 and verified it with billet like how they'd compare CPU scores with AMD.
