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.

The Verge is a hit or miss outfit for me. Sometimes they're fine, but then you remember when they tried to build a PC and you wonder if they really actually know what they're doing over there.
Apparently they gave that guy (who had never built a PC on camera before) like less than a week to put that video together. Should it have gone out? No, but it's not the guy in the video's fault. Source: https://youtu.be/QKzmYsySGFQ
Oh I'm not throwing shade at Stefan, but the entire organization. A product like that doesn't happen because of one journalist, it happens because upper management constantly undervalues the time and effort it takes to put it together.
A week is plenty of time to do it right. It's not like you're asking someone who doesn't know algebra to do a video teaching advanced calculus in a week.
All the tech sites seem to run unlabeled advertising a lot of the time. I get lots of "save $2000 on this amazing Lenovo laptop" crap in my feeds. The Amazon Prime one sounds like it may be a paid ad too.
Feeder has a filter option that's come in handy for getting rid of junk articles like that.
