I think most likely is that the fraud team flagged the account and deactivated it, and there's no process internally to stop that so SVP guy couldn't do anything.

Sort of like the Google account issue where employees can't internally appeal to stop account suspensions.

Three things I love about USB-C

1. Charging is like 90% of what I use cables for, and I can just have the same cable for everything

2. USB-C displays are fantastic, one cable to my MacBook that handles charging, display output, USB-A ports etc

3. The only time I ever use USB-C ports for anything other than charging is from my MacBook, and so far every adapter/display etc has just worked

I could be wrong - but I believe Nvidia bins the chips for Founders Edition cards

I don't want to sound like a narc, but it seems like a really good idea to have some degree of oversight and safeguards on financial transactions of that magnitude.

This seems like a remarkably small team for the scale of what they're building! For some reason I imagined they'd have legions of engineers.

"G2A couldn’t come to terms with those large firms and just did the audit themselves"

That's not an audit, it's just deep introspection

I honestly would be less frustrated if their ads weren't so obnoxious and ugly. Animated ads in the middle of an article are the absolute worst.

I always get really nervous every time I see the words "homemade" and "laser" in the same sentence.

I had to take a laser safety workshop in college and the stories of accidental blindings still haunt me. Those were from people who worked with lasers for a living, so god knows what people messing around with them in their garage can do.
