A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

You know, this is some shit that I expect when dealing with some shady asshole on ebay, but LMG?

Bro... Are you ok?

I always wondered if Linus was actually a slimy POS, but this Billet Labs situation has cemented it for me. If you haven't watched the Gamers Nexus followup video, definitely watch it.

No screwdriver on the face of the earth is worth $70 and no backpack is worth $250

I don't own either of these products from them, but let me tell you, that is wrong.

I own a 200€ backpack from Samsonite and it fucking rocks, it's a different league from Amazon crap.
Also, sports gear exists, including backpacks.

lol yeah my camera bag is over $300. A good camera hiking bag is most definitely worth the money.
