Not sure about that! Did LTT get the prototype back to the Lab it was borrowed from?

From this write-up: knowyourmeme.com/…/gamers-nexus-vs-linus-tech-tip…
A major concern Gamers Nexus highlighted was Linus Tech Tips’s June 24th, 2023, review of a product prototype by Billet Labs[2] in which they used an incompatible piece of technology despite Billet Labs reportedly having been clear about the specifications the product needs to work accurately (seen below).
Moreover, the prototype worth thousands of dollars was purportedly given to Linus on loan with the expectation of it being returned. However, Linus supposedly did not return the prototype to Billet Labs. Instead, he auctioned it off to the highest bidder, which could have been a direct competitor to Billet Labs.

Another option i was thinking about just earlier today is the “nature” wallpaper that used to be a thing back in the 70s or so. Whole walls covered in giant photos of rainforests etc. I still see them in customers houses on occasion, usually sun-faded which kinda adds its own ambiance

Corners were cut and mistakes were made.
This is my assumption about nearly all modern tech. We’ve reached the point where it’s nearly standard practice to release unfinished products and/or software. In many cases, it ends up being a particular person or small group of enthusiasts that end up finishing and polishing the product.
Not only that, but support for many tech products is shorter-term than ever. I was talking to a mechanic recently who was surprised to be informed by Alfa Romeo’s parts department, that they did not offer replacements for a particular part for the brake lines on a car that was less than 10 years old and referred the mechanic to find a seller on eBay who makes them. There was indeed one company making the part and selling them on eBay. That was the aftermarket support, lol!

I remember a while back discovering GE made a clear door that could be used for diagnostic purposes on some dishwashers they had built. Never got to try one out, just thought it was cool they made em.

It’s weird–Tesla at least projected some sort of ‘higher-end’ quality back when they first started coming around but as time has gone on it’s proven itself to be a very cheaply-made vehicle.
The fact they insist on using their proven-inferior tech for FSD tells you all you need to know: they aren’t looking to innovate or even bring themselves up to modern standards. They are determined to make their cars with the cheapest, shittiest tech and they’ll just grease the right palms in order to proceed as necessary.
