    Right. This is how we would treat one another, as we are not public reviewers trying to provide objective and unbiased information to the public viewers/consumers. Given their professions, GN's response is in no way wrong. Quietly doing this under closed doors would be a disservice to Billet Labs as the public would not have known about the issue at hand, not to mention would be a serious conflict of interest.

    I keep seeing this same false fallacy argument pass around so often. Neither LMG is entitled to a private discussion nor is GN required to contact LMG before making a public ethical complaint based on LMG's public video. If the case had been GN found a backdoor to LMG's servers and publicly announced the exploit without informing LMG, then that would be a valid argument for needing private discussion. Speaking privately about mistakes and misrepresented information on a live, public video would be a voluntary courtesy. This could have happened except for Linus ranted and clearly implied GN and HUB on the WAN more than once; burning bridges on his own accord. Making this argument that GN should have spoken to Linus privately beforehand would be equivalent to a company requiring me to message them before putting up a bad review for a faulty product.

    If legitimate criticism of how a company's testing methodology resulting in errors is considered an attack, then I'm not sure what else to say besides it not being one.
     
    Here's the thing, if you want to be a lab, and you want to be held to lab standards, then you open your methods and data to scrutiny, which is what GN is doing here. LMG has the ability, and the right to respond to these allegations by re-running the tests to reproduce the data if they want to stand by it, but they aren't. GN's video isn't an attack, it's a flashlight on some of LMG's recent practices that have dubious ethical standings that need to be addressed.

    If you've watched Steve's video and can honestly, with straight face, and pure 100% faith in LMG, reply to the thread that Steve is out of hand for making the video, you're delusional and need to seek help. Not only that but you've proven what he's saying in the whole video.

    Wyllio reacted to Thiago Cabral in Printables partners with Adafruit, Noctua, Cooler Master and more to expand replacement parts and models offerings   
    Summary
    According to a recent announcement, Printables has teamed up with Adafruit, Noctua, Cooler Master, and other top brands to offer official replacement parts and models. This is great news for 3D printing enthusiasts who have struggled to find high-quality, reliable options in the past.
     
    Not only will these partnerships make it easier to find the parts and models you need, they will also help reduce waste. Instead of tossing out a broken piece or an outdated model, you'll be able to simply print a new one using the official designs provided by these brands.

    Wyllio reacted to LAwLz in Microsoft Azure CTO Mark Russinovich: C/C++ should be deprecated | Bjarne Stroustrup: Nope.   
    I don't think anyone is saying that it is, and this news topic isn't about that.
    I don't think it is ridiculous to say that C and C++ are similar though. C++ is an extension of C. They share A LOT of things with one another.
     
     
    Two things:
    1) C+ was never a thing. Maybe you're thinking of "C with Classes"? 
    2) Neither C, "C with Classes" nor C++ was developed by Microsoft.
     
    The reason why objective C isn't mentioned in this news article is because it is not relevant to the things being discussed. Barely anyone is thinking "should I use C++ or Objective C for this new project?", especially not on the Azure team.
     
     
     
    Neither C++ nor Rust is owned or controlled by Microsoft. This is not them saying "we need to move to something we control". I am not sure why you keep bringing up C# either, because this person is not telling people to move to C#. 
    You can open the sources and search for C# if you want. You won't find a single mention of it, except in the devclass.com page where it is just listed among other languages like Python and JavaScript. 
     
    Mark is saying new projects should use Rust instead of C or C++. 
    Rust started life as a project from a Mozilla employee, and after some layoffs as Mozilla is now headed by the Rust Foundation, a non-profit organization whose team consist of full time employees like Rebecac Rumbul (previously worked for mySociety) and a board of directors from multiple large companies like AWS, Google, Huawei, Meta, Mozilla, Microsoft, etc. Only one from each company however.
     
    Rust is not a Microsoft product. Microsoft does not control it in any way. In fact, the Linux kernel has started using Rust as well for some things. I believe they have an NVMe driver written in Rust for example.

    Wyllio reacted to darknessblade in Apple under fire for their Idiotic decision to charge 27% for 3rd party payments   
    Because steam is a windows app/store, of which it is 1 of many potential ones.
     
    While Apple is the sole owner, regulator, and enforcer on THEIR, platform
     
    Not forgetting do you think that if a game dev has a game and does not want to sell their app/game trough steam, that they have no other option?
    they can just sell it trough the many other stores "EPIC games, GOG games, even their own website"
    and then they do not have to give Steam a single dime, because they did not sell trough STEAM.
     
    if they do it trough their own website, they get 100% of all the profit. made from sales, not having to give a single time to anyone.

    Wyllio reacted to leadeater in TSMC “Apple-first” 3nm policy leads to AMD and Qualcomm mutiny   
    AMD only make CCDs, APU and GPUs at TSMC. The CCDs are literally a single design, desktop and laptop APUs are the same design, GPUs have (current) 3 designs. Apple across all the M1 and A series designs probably isn't much less. Qualcomm? Yea I care soooo little about them I have no idea lol.
     
    Well the problem is it's probably more than just money that is the issue, TSMC for a long time essentially co-designs the next generation process with Apple and puts in contractual benefits due to that. I doubt TSMC is giving that same opportunity to AMD at all and additionally there is zero way to pay in more for earlier access otherwise that would be a breach of contract with Apple.

    Wyllio reacted to Akolyte in California judge blocks US ban of WeChat, letting people WeChat another day   
    Wechat and Tiktok are definitely security risks at least in regards to national security for the United States.  Wechat at least is known to be a pretty big app in China and sends a lot of data to the CCP.  
     
    I think, however, that banning the apps isn't the answer.   The truth is, the United States conducts similar operations with Facebook and Google.  No doubt China also conducts proper nation-sponsored attacks just like the United States does. 
     
    The US should keep an eye on TikTok and pay attention to any CCP propaganda, and run regular in-depth audits of the app (perhaps yearly?).  The US should avoid being like China, and censoring anything that is potentially harmful to views of the state.  
     
    People who want to download those apps should understand that it contains Chinese Spyware and should be advised of this fact.  If they continue to use the app, it is their problem. 
     
    My opinion is that:
     
    The US must enforce very strict rules for anyone who works for the government and should ban anyone from using these apps if they work for the government, or on any device that will, at any time, be connected to the same network as a government work device.  
     
    The US should also work with companies and any companies are used, sponsored or affiliated with the US government in any way should have it in their work agreement that apps that are known to by Chinese Spyware are not to be used by any means on the same network as a government work device.

    Micro LEDs are made on wafers, the same as CPUs that have transistors in the nano-meter scale. So, I don't really see how it is impossible to have a high screen resolution in an extremely small package. Cost being the only barrier to entry.
