    Idk about others, but Singapore doesn’t really have socialized healthcare.

    We pay for it with our salaries into an account and the hospitals use that when necessary.

    But we have all the luxury to have personal insurance and it doesn’t really cost too much if you have a proper job and all. Coverage is pretty decent too.

    I feel like we are missing the most important context.

    He basically lit the fire that started the whole debacle.

    He is known for his investigative journalism as mentioned. And he is from the Youtube sphere like Linus and has done collaborations with him.

    Steve however, turned his eye of Sauron on Linus this time and called out inaccuracies in his content due to a rush to meet timelines and a huge bungle on a small company’s proprietary item.

    This caused Linus to react badly and the community was pissed. Mud slinging started and an ex-employee’s sudden revelation of the toxic culture of the workplace(still not verified), had started a massive shitshow.





  • Before Netflix took hold, piracy was extremely accessible.

    Even the less tecy savvy could easily download a client and there were numerous websites with ease to multiple files. Google search was throwing out torrent files in the hundreds.

    Now since Netflix, that activity had died down and people wanted the convenience of being able to stream anywhere and ease of access. Piracy became limited to those that only really want to do it.

    Now if these activities push it, the floodgates may reopen and people may start coming up with even easier ways to pirate. Kodi for example becoming super easy to access.
