A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah, I felt the same when I read his post on Reddit. He worded things incredibly badly, and even I, when reading his post, got the impression that he wanted 10 million dollars to "make their problem go away". It almost feels like he was testing the water by being vague about it, before backpedaling when he realized they weren't into that.
[Edit] I get that he was probably trying to prove the point that their price was ridiculous and Apollo couldn't be costing them that much, but man. Terrible way to communicate that. You're not trying to sell your old TV to some guy in a bar here!
