In the "Statement from Linus" are LMG critising GN's journalism for not reaching out before posting the video?

Seems like a good thing to do but would LMG have gotten enough context regarding the prototype water block? Seems even now they think that review was fair while knowingly using the wrong GPU. Fair for who?

Also he DIDNT "SELL" the prototype, he AUCTIONED it.

Said my 7 year old this weekend, and linus.

Seriously. Its excuses my kids use. "It was an accident". "I misunderstood". I didnt hit my brother, it was a love tap.

Especially because Steve said "auctioned" and not "sold". Nice strawman, same as his "bad journalism" take. It only leads the discussion away from the allegations.
