    1. @netsharcApr 2022· in “Ask HN: Why is raising money from VCs worn as a badge of honour?”

      Linus (Tech Tips) has a good video about why external investment is useful: this video , but he's talking about a hardware company, which is probably different to a software one. Skip to around 5:00 to get to topic.

    2. @benbristowOct 2021· in “New MacBook Pro has first ‘DIY-friendly’ battery replacement design since 2012”

      It's gotten a bit more media attention recently as Linus (of Tech Tips/YouTube fame, not Linux/Git fame) has made a rather large investment in them and has been talking about them a lot on his platforms. this video

    3. @GauntletWizardFeb 2022· in “Bringing the Framework Laptop to more of the world”

      Not that I agree with the characterization, but they might be referring to Linus Sebastian of Linux Tech Tips, who invested a bunch of money into the company: this video

    4. @bellyfullofbacNov 2021· in “Modern mainboard for traditional T60 ThinkPad”

      Linus (Tech Tips) talks about how much money would be involved, and going full retail seems to be... very hard: this video
