I’m on my phone now, so I don’t have the links, but if you find Billet Labs reddit account and check their comments from around when this all happened, you will find a couple of comments where they admit they only asked for it back after the video, and that LTT offered to get it back for them.
The rest (why it wasn’t sent back) is from a wan shows from the same period.
Posted this to someone else here, so I’ll just copy that post:
You are of course talking about the Billet Labs prototype they has been told they could keep, but Billet Labs changed their mind after the video (valid, since LTT did fuck that video up), but a mistake was made by someone in logistics at LTT so it wasn’t put aside for return as it should.
And when it got known by LTT that it had happened, they first offered to get the prototype back from the person who bought it, which Billet Labs said no to, then offered to pay them back the cost of the prototype.
Is that what you mean by “steals”

The main issue there is that project zero, where if you ignore what Google has reported, they will just go ahead and disclose the issue.
We do, through the EEA.
Or they are just home users behind a CGNAT, which more and more ISPs use.
And even if they aren’t, home users usually have dynamic IPs, meaning it can change.
That isn’t Google owning your content though, just Google deciding what you can do with your content on their service.
You block then investigate yes.
Just like every other company in existence does it, since the first thing you want to do is stop continued spread/misuse.
Here is the post from Billet Labs themselves where they verify that they only asked for the cooler back after the video had been released: https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/18d6m3u/deleted_by_user/kcfmcnz/
Now, i’m not saying that LTT didn’t do Billet Lbs dirty in regards to this whole situation.
They did not test the cooler correctly, and Linus was less than resonable in regards to retesting and such (something he has adressed himself here: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1526180-gamers-nexus-alleges-lmg-has-insufficient-ethics-and-integrity/page/16/#comment-16078641 ).
But people keep hanging up that they sold when they were supposed to send it back, when there was no such agreement beforehand.
About Honey, they didn’t find out that Honey was scamming viewers until everyone else did.
What they found out earlier, at the same time as many other youtubers, was that Honey was “scamming” the youtubers themselves by replacing the youtubers reference codes.
At the time they thought the viewers still got discounts, so they didn’t announce anything about it since it would seem like they asked the viewers not to take the discounts so that LTT could make more money.
About the Billet Labs thing, they have shown, and Billet Labs verified it, that the original agreement was that LTT would keep the cooler.
It was only after the bad review they asked for it back, and at that point there was miss communication between the person Billet Labs talked to and the logistics department at LTT, so the cooler wasn’t set aside as it should.
What does US law matter to France in this case?
Definitely, as after this it was announced that Apple would not be affected by the 100% semiconductor tariffs.
Those aren’t part of this campaign, and are just games that GOG has.
This is the list of games that comes free in this campaign:
That said though, do buy games at GOG as well, to help them keep going with their good work.
I this case it is a wordplay on the fact that young people these days call gossip “tea”.
That is a lot of text for something that has no relevance in this case, since it is from Italy and not the US.
Different countries have different laws, and court cases in the US has no effect on Italian law.
A phone call or sms asking “hey where are you?” isn’t enough?
Shaking bad could also be that she marries a recovering drug addict.
The main issue, and this is also mentioned in the blog post, is that the bot only does translation and not localisation.
The first is just taking the words from one language and changing to another.
The second is to actually make sure the text in the new language makes proper sense. Maybe the English article uses some analogy that does realy make sense in the new language. Localisation is to find some other suitable analogy to use instead, so that the point from the main article is kept, but it still makes sense.
