@netsharc2022 · 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.

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

@benbristow2021 · 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
