  • I was buying a PC case and was surprised to find out it's actually not trivial to find one without a transparent side panel.

    I don't want to see the inside of my PC, ideally it should be hidden away as much as possible. My ideal setup would be to have the tower in a separate room with cables going through a wall so that only peripherals are anywhere near my desk.

  • 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.

  • I presume the detection is so that it can send you a notification for "someone at your doorstep" vs "package at your doorstep", not for when you are actually looking at the footage.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Current self-driving cars

    So you agree they exist. You are just saying they are not good. Just like the printer that only works sometimes is still a printer that exists, it's just bad at being one.

    But we are just arguing semantics.

  • They not working in all cases is a qualifier you are adding yourself though. There are definitely existing self-driving cars. There are no self-driving cars that can handle all situations, but being perfect or finished is not a prerequisite for something existing.
