It literally wasn't. He paid way more than what the stock was worth. (Hence why he desperately tried to get out of it, and why the board desperately tried to make sure he had to go through with it.)
I think he's just saying the headline is (potentially maliciously) ambiguous. I certainly assumed "told not to testify [or else]" when I read it.
There are some fantastic gems of videos that still get released, but they're really hard to find amongst the YouTube crap videos.
Linus LOVES corporate buzzwords. He certainly never fails to remind critics that he's just running a business.
He's said before that he hates it, but including one of those thumbnails boosts viewership by 30%. I certainly don't like it, but it would be really hard for me to resist that extra income too.
And not even as a genericized term. (Google and Xerox HATE that they're used as verbs.)
"Tweet" is only ever used to describe posting to Twitter. It's a very unique position that's about as ideal as it gets for a company brand.
"Hell yes we're going to take your guns" is not the best slogan when running for governor of Texas.
I just realized that "Google Chat" and "Chat Messages" are to complete different things. Insane.
It's extremely interesting to me how China's SCS claims permeate through big business. It's no coincidence they used a china-friendly map.
Wealth has been concentrating at the top for the past few decades now in ways the modern world has never seen before.

Hey all, we're moving into a new place soon and I want to start making it a smart home. I have some experience with wifi-based smart bulbs from TP-Link Kasa and a ring camera, but that's about it. I need to update the switches in the house anyway, so I figure that's a good place to start.
A few details:
-
The house was built in the early 60s, so I'm guessing no neutral wires. (It doesn't look like most of the switches have been updated since it was built)
-
All the bedrooms have overhead fans with just a single switch controlling them. Is there any way to use smart tech to control the fan and light separately? This isn't a huge priority, but would be nice even if it's in the distant future.
-
I use Google Home
-
While I consider myself probably technical enough to figure out and set up something like Homeassistant, complex automation is not my goal (right now). Voice command and remote command via smartphone is the primary concern.
-
I have no hubs/thread border router right now.
-
I'd very much prefer something that will last / something that I won't need to update or replace after a few years. (I'm not very familiar with the longevity of the software running some of these smart home options. I've had a couple Kasa bulbs for over 5 years, but I'm not sure if that's common or not.)
-
I think there are a lot of unknown unknowns for me. This is an area of tech I just haven't kept up with.
I'm just a bit lost, and with reddit gone I'm not sure what to trust. Any guidance on where to start would be very appreciated!
