I agree with most of GN's points, but this part really rubbed me the wrong way. I think GN really should have contacted Linus, to get his thoughts and clear up misunderstandings. When they do it like this it feels disingenuous, if you really care about the consumer then it's in your best interest to help LTT change, not to try and deal as hard a blow as possible. It feels like they're just want them to take the punch as hard as possible.
But I still can't believe how bad LTT's behaviour was when it comes to Billet labs. The rewiew was bad, but I could get over it, but to sell their best fucking prototype, that's atrocious. It's not just the material and time cost of building it, it's a giant opportunity cost. It's completely unacceptable.
