Yes, once Billet changed their mind after not liking the review, they mistakenly sold it and paid them back.

Uhh, he promotes Linux at every step? You are free to dislike him and his content, but he’s absolutely a force for Linux adoption.
The explanation made sense to me. They found Honey was stealing from creators, but still saving money for users, so it would be very self-serving to make a fuss about it, instead they only let other creators know. From the users point of view it was still a great product (from what was known at the time).
This is true, but the CEO change had nothing to do with it. It was already happening before any of the drama, due to Linus wanting to have more time for making videos instead of having to manage the company.
That’s what most people took away from the drama. No one looked into it later to find out was made up because that’s no longer interesting. As is usually the case with Internet drama.
(Emails eventually came out showing Billet Labs told them to keep the cooler, and then lied about it)
1·13 days agoIt is you who is misinformed, because they did specifically say you will be able to bypass it with ADB (which now is going to be made easier, presumably).
One place they said so is here: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/09/lets-talk-security-answering-your-top.html
That’s not a dark pattern…
I’m sure it will be like the Steam Deck, meaning you can absolutely install non Steam games on it, but they still have to work under Proton (meaning the vast majority of games work, except ones requiring kernel anti cheat).
The comment you replied to did not dispute that. They said Windows games run on Windows, not that they don’t run on Linux.
There are already ads in Google Maps, there is nothing for them to follow.
Do you have any source on this? I have never seen a similar article about phones sending a 3D map of your home to the manufacturer.
Any primary school math textbook will do as a source and tell you not all rectangles are squares, even if a square is a rectangle.
I’m not sure what your point is. There are many people that like AI but don’t like Copilot. So a statistic of people liking AI is not equivalent to a statistic of people liking Copilot. That’s like saying people love my baking because people like baking in general, even though I didn’t ask anyone about my baking in particular.
There is a vast difference between people using/liking AI and people using/liking Copilot.
The marketing is more for the submersible camera that survived, just like it was designed to do, the SD card was just inside the camera and no water even touched it. I don’t think the SD card should be getting any credit.
So what? Them driving is not relevant to this at all. The idea is that the cars they sell become illegal.
It could be a feature of web browsers. Images would get some icon indicating the valid signature, just like browsers already show the padlock icon indicating a valid certificate. So everybody would be seeing the verification.
But I don’t think it’s a good idea, for other reasons.
Yeah, you absolutely can, and without needing root or anything.
Yes, and then they ban that developer and their apps. It doesn’t matter you can install apps outside of the Play Store, if Google still controls which apps you are allowed to install.
I rewatched the series finale now, and his conclusion seems as I remembered:
He didn’t even bring up his issue in the conclusion. If you can timestamp any “fuck Linux”, I would love to see it, because I really doubt he ever said that.
That being said, while it’s obviously his fault for ignoring warninigs, it’s ridiculous something as basic as installing Steam got him into that situation in the first place, it’s pop os’s fault for shipping a broken package. And yeah, things like that really don’t happen on Windows.
