    Eh, i saw easton’s twitter before deletion, he was rather full of himself and prone to being pompously challenging without cause.

    Also his father doesn’t mean shit, i’m the kid of a master printer, buggered if i know anything about ink

      I think it’s pretty reasonable to be proud of your family for their accomplishments. And annoyed that someone else would take credit for them.

        No one’s ‘taking’ credit, others are ascribing credit. For technological concepts that were foundational, if no longer used. It’s like cracking the shits at someone mentioning the hominid that came up with knapping a stone because your dad made scalpels.

          Yeah you’re correct I misspoke there. I’m not an expert but others are suggesting her invention wasn’t used in GPS at all, which the guy’s dad is credited with inventing. If that’s true that’s still a little weird, of course I don’t have a problem with her getting credit for anything she invented. I certainly haven’t invented anything
