(like the fact that we didn’t ‘sell’ the monoblock, but rather auctioned it for charity due to a miscommunication…

Steve never uses the wold 'sold' in his video, and uses the word 'auctioned' twice.

As if "sold at a charity auction" isn't an incredibly common and normal phrase. Linus is grasping.

I mean, since when has auctioning not been selling something? Auctioning is literally a method by which to sell something.

[–] rDrDr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Right. And that's what Linus lead with.

But he never even used the word sold, just auction/auctioning.
