I was briefly confused how an open source flashlight firmware had anything to do with this..... then I noticed this post wasn't in the Flashlight forum. So apparently Anduril is a war contractor AND a great flashlight firmware but are not related at all.
Yeah, Anduril the company has been around for a minute (Since 2017). Luckey got in early on selling weapons tech to the government after he sold Oculus.
What's with some really scary companies (Anduril, Palantir) cribbing their names from LOTR?
Peter Thiel is a Lotr fan
maybe a Sauron fan more like
Yeah, totally didn't understand the morality of the book and thinks sauron is a good role model
How in the world would a LOTR fan make such life choices?
Because he is an evil bastard. There is a behind the bastards episode about him.
