The Billet Labs cooler block stuff actually made me go "what the fuck" and got me to unsubscribe. That's not just some error you can cut out or some funny joke, everything about that was something that Billet Labs could likely prove monetary damages for in the worst case scenario.
Fwiw, Linus made a post today and said they've already arranged to compensate billet for the prototype.
That has very strong "I'm sorry that I got caught" energy.
And how will they compensate for the lost work, as GN pointed out? Didn't Billit Labs say they were unable to continue working on the product, since the prototype wasn't available?
Except that's also a lie, because as the new GN video talking about that response points out, Linus only contacted Billet about it after the GN video was posted, and they absolutely had not "arranged to compensate Billet for the prototype" yet
