I read this from the start with the mind that it's probably an April fool's joke, but not once did I see any indication to exaggerate or build up to a humorous absurdness. It's just a long article that could be true but isn't. Stupid and a waste of time.

I agree, but it's still better than the "pranks" that hugely wink at you and think they're clever, but they're obviously some marketing team trying to come up with ideas that aren't offensive..... yeah, I said it, this dreck is better than that dreck. heh.
lol. Nice April Fools post. I think the cruelest tech related Aprils fools post I’ve seen claimed that Apple was open sourcing their x86 MacOS versions. Creating a Mac binary compatible BSD distro. That really hurt. I love OSx/2010s MacOS. Nothing on Linux or BSD side comes close. I am really holding out hope for RayvnOS.
Ah shit lol.
Rumors say they will buy Nvidia after.
God I fucking hate April fools Day.
We're fed so many lies all the time and when a big, obvious one like this shows up in the stream it's just another jolt of alarm that my system can't keep taking anymore. If we lived in happier and more peaceful times I might have enjoyed it even.
April's fools Day is every day.
It's great being in a time zone where it's already April 2nd when the Americans start pulling this shit. You think you've made it through the nonsense and then BAM, here's another day of it except ramped up to 11.
this article has apparently caused AMD +3.61% ▲ and Intel INTC +8.84% ▲
We already knew stock price wasn't tied to reality
Obviously not when AMD lapped Intel in market cap.
What was even their moat, dependence on TSMC to fab their chips?
Made me do a double take. The way the world is right now, it wouldn't be the most shocking thing.
Wouldn't the SEC look upon jokes like this poorly?
They would if AMD actually announced something like this.
This is entirely a Techspot joke, there is no AMD press release: https://www.amd.com/en/newsroom/press-release-search.html
SEC? In this day and age? Yeah.. right..
Depends on the bribe amount (or lack of)
Oh boy this is why I hate most April fool jokes.
They are generally not funny, just stupid.
It got a lot of people
