    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?

        It’s really hard to compensate someone for their prototype though. It’s not just the cost to make another, it’s the opportunity cost that they can’t move their business forward properly in the meantime.
