But they did state the reasons, on their forums. At the time it was only known Honey steals money from affiliate link owners, not from users, and presumably it worked correctly for users.

So what do you think would happen if they encouraged viewers not to use it? “Hey we know this extension makes you money, but please don’t use it because we, millionaire YouTubers, are getting smaller profits when your do, and our profits are more important than your savings”. They checked with other creators, most of YouTube stopped promoting it at the time, and that was it. It would be seen as very self-serving to complain about it to users/viewers.

Oh throught a third party tool, thanks, interesting.

Are you sure? I don’t think you can.

Regardless of the meme, it’s just weird behaviour to print off a meme, in presumably tens of copies, and leave it on every desk. Don’t you have a group chat?

Or just playing games that higher graphics settings that the Steam Deck wouldn’t be able to run.

Yes, it was really bad.

I question your assertion that it was purposefully done as a secret conspiracy to ruin a random brand. Don’t attribute to malice what can adequately explained by stupidity.

No, they weren’t trying to ruin the brand, they were trying to make a YouTube video, made a bad job with multiple compounding mistakes, and ended up hurting the brand without that being their intention.

Hah, yeah I guess he does own goal to protect others often.

That’s an egregious mistake of a logistics employee wrongly asset tagging a prototype, ending up creating a huge controversy. Linus never named the employee and took all the heat on himself even though the situation had nothing to do with him.

Making a big deal out of Honey taking creator’s money would again move all the heat on him while warning other creator’s. But I think it would go just as bad.

So the scenario is that they know Honey is losing them money, but it’s saving user’s money by finding them great deals (since that part of the controversy wasn’t known at the time).

And you are proposing they make a video complaining about it. A big YouTuber millionaire telling people “hey, I know this extension is making you money, but please consider not using it because we are profiting off of our affiliate links less when you do and our profits are more important than your savings”.

How do you think that would go? We all know how such a video would be received.

I am aware

It’s not just creators though, it’s also preventing customers from getting a good deal, because stores can pay honey their protection racket money to stop it from giving their customers discounts.

Admittedly it’s a lesser issue - you are just not getting a discount you could have gotten - but it’s the opposite of what it was claiming to do for you.

Sure, as I said “Windows is absolutely needed if you want a good experience”. Yes, it’s not required to get something working if you try hard enough, but it is required if you want everything to work well.

I keep a Windows virtual machine with GPU passthrough for VR and don’t see myself ditching it any time soon. At least I don’t need to boot into Windows.

Yes, you can technically get some games working. If you use the right VR headset (meaning Valve Index or Vive), use the right distro, with the right compositor and right GPU, spend a lot of time troubleshooting, then you can maybe get a few games to start. Camera passthrough won’t work, power management won’t work (no control for base stations), Bluetooth won’t work, tracking won’t be as good, you will experience weird bugs and crashes of both the games and SteamVR, and you will get less FPS than on Windows. And even with that inferior experience, most games still won’t run.

I spent a lot of time trying despite this being the experience for most people online, and I only confirmed that it’s the case. Windows is absolutely needed if you want a good experience. Hopefully Valve changes that in the future, but that’s the case today.

Still needed for VR games.

We know it’s not an Apple user because they are using WhatsApp instead of exclusively iMessage.

/s :P

That is true, but that’s still a weirdly phrased question if what you wanted to know is if it’s a Mac.

SpaceX is quite “real”. No other company is even close to it’s tech, low cost, and launch cadence. It’s because it’s run by Gwynne Shotwell, the President of SpaceX, who is skilled at keeping Musk away from ruining it.

Nobody would ask for the brand in reality. For 99% of computer issues it’s going to be something specific to the used software or Windows, and if the hardware turned out to be relevant in any way, you’d ask for the model because the brand itself is useless for most issues.

Sorry it was just jarring to me. :P

The touchscreen controls and displays in SpaceX crew capsules are web based. So JavaScript is going to space pretty often.

Since you haven’t said it either… This is in France.

It’s in Kotlin and some other languages. C# has it but there it’s actually A ?? B.
