Manufacturers and dealers dont tend to make service bulletins and the high level stuff available to the consumer unfortunately.

I want an AI/LLM that has been trained exclusively on the technical documentation and a haynes manual for a make and model of car.

“Hey AI, how do I change the fuel filter and what tools will I need?”

Yeah, but… the food part.

If you sorted out the methodology one person could staff a changeless truck, you start giving change thats a lot of time.

The biggest bottleneck on both of them these days is getting the heat away from the cpu and into the cooler fast enough. Unless you’re de-lidding your cpu, using a peltier or some other lower than ambient powered cooling theres probably a negligible amount in it.

God I’d love some money.

Also who TF sits down to a big bowl of coleslaw? Its a side dish. You pair it with shit.

Julienne apple slaw and spicy pulled pork.

Candied pinapple slaw and jerk chicken.

Elevate your cullinary game folks.

And then a shitload of contractors to repair the 1000 bullet holes in your house due to the massive overkill of shooting roaches.

Nice accuracy tho.

Yeah, I’m just smaht enough to know I’m too dumb for that much responsibility.

While I do agree, Id say the counterpoint would be that putting Terren out front when all this happened under Linus’s watch could have come across as disingenuous.

“Heres our new lightning rod, yell at him” sort of thing. I very much think they are in a no win scenario with most of this.

I’m willing to work my ass off under pressure and make mad bank, I’m also willing to do a fair days work for an industry standard fair wage. I am not willing to work my ass off under pressure for an industry standard fair wage, or even a good industry wage. It had better be fucking bank.

I think a lot of them could go elsewhere, make more and do less, but I think some people just thrive in that kind of environment. I’m one of them, I hate when its slow at work. But also sometimes… every few months we catch a few dull weeks and NGL as much as I hate it, I need it.

The whole “Trust me bro” thing comes from when they released their backpacks. They had issues with some of the zippers and people wanted to know what the warranty was. Linus said they didnt explicitly have one but that he would look after anyone with issues. When people got a bit rightly pissed about this, he got a bit defensive. “Trust me bro” sprung up as a meme out of that whole saga.

I honestly believe that Linus is a well intentioned dumbass. He likes his people and believes that everyone can just get along and that nobody would harass another employee seriously. He knows that the mistakes are just honest mistakes which is why he gets so defensive, take the whole “trust me bro” thing… I think it never occurred to him to fuck his customers over which is why he didnt handle it well.

He doesnt believe his employees need a union because I dont know about you but if I owned a company Id hope that my people felt looked after well enough that they didnt feel like they needed one either.

But that kind of attitude just doesnt work with so damn many people, he should have hired a full time HR manager YEARS ago, as well as the company lawyer on staff. He SHOULD NOT be doing the WAN show, or if he does it should be on a 5 minute tape delay with someone from legal and hr present.

The reason why so much bullshit corporate structure exists is to largely protect the company from itself.

Linus is the founder, his name is on the buildings, he was CEO at the time of all this shit, he is the cheif on camera personality and he is the majority shareholder. Of course he would be in the video.

Hiring Terren was the smartest thing he could have done, he probably should have gotten someone who understands this shit onboard a long time ago. Even if they were subordinate to him.

Its unlikely, but not impossible and when you’re dealing with preproduction prototypes you are holding someone elses valuable proprietary information, which in the case of this waterblock is unlikely to be something thats worth copying as its a high cost low margin niche product. But someone could.

Its not like it was just expensive or just someone elses property. It was someone elses one of a kind proprietary design prototype, they knew this and they STILL couldnt show the proper care and responsibility. Thats why this admittedly unlikely edge case is a big deal.

I didnt see anywhere that it was the “only” prototype. I believe it was their most complete or their pre-production prototype.

So likely a hand machined and finished item as opposed to something made with production tooling or in batches to reduce manufacturing cost. Something that could also be sent to reviewers as its essentially what the finished product will be. So not only are they out their best prototype, but the opportunity cost and the potential that someone like EK could have bought it and reverse engineered it to release a competing product with little to no R&D cost.

The difference is that Id immediately switch instances if I thought the mods/admins would fight the govt for even a second on handing over the IP addresses of anyone suspected of CP.

Pirate or dont pirate. I dont care, but I expect the admins to narc hard and fast on anyone posting CP. Dont even wait for the cops to knock, email them yourselves, turn the cunts straight in.
