The verge is mostly satire, it's not meant to be seen as the pinnacle of tech news.

A 2.9% loss of memory clock does not directly equate to a 2.9% loss of performance.

Satellite service has already saved a couple lives.
You're a fucking idiot.

You mean saying samsung 23 is like saying apple 14. It’s good enough to say S23 in a tech context

An established English actor went missing just outside LA about 2 weeks ago. He was hiking in Angeles National Forest. Snowy and dangerous. If he had this feature on his phone (and knew how to use it) he would have been found by now. Instead it looks like he is dead. Just got lost on a hike less than an hour from Downtown LA.

And please bear in mind, im talking about the publication releasing the video, insisting it be filmed the way it was and finding no problems with the finished product.
It says nothing to the person building it, and how they couldn't stand up for themselves and ended up needing to damage control their reputation because of it (the Linus vid still doesn't address some glaring pieces of advice too)
Im talking about just The Verge. Stefan was just a wet towel at the time, when he should've been a rock.

I did watch it, I also watched non-shill channels reacting to it...all channels I trust for tech news and builds, and they were laughing at how idiotically confident the video was in its poor advice, and instruction.
You must work for them if you refer to their video as "lore"

So how could you possibly trust a tech publication whos higher ups clearly have no problem releasing a how to build a pc guide that would literally destroy most of your components if you followed it?
It brings all their articles/opinions into a bad light...and frankly its laughable that they didnt address it.

Yeah, I’m familiar with the lore. If you’re curious about how the video got made, why don’t you watch the Linus Tech Tips video explaining exactly that?

Ummmm i dont think you understood what i mean...the verge released a step by step guide on how to build a PC on youtube.
Needless to say, after watching that video, i will not be taking any tech advice from them.
Its so bad, it makes me wonder who approved the release of the video.

It’s an Nvidia bug when polling the status of the GPU. One of the discord engineers already chimed in on the hackernews post.

This is kind of a silly analogy. Gaming PCs, including prebuilts, custom, and laptops, are a $40 billion dollar a year business worldwide. Google alone makes that two months, Apple in less than that. The smartphone market is 10 times bigger than all of PC gaming. It’s like seeing someone fail a trig test (in, to be fair, a pretty embarrassing way), and concluding that they literally know nothing about all of math. Yes, I’m aware I’m feeding the troll. I’m bad at letting bad arguments lie

Really?! They can't even build a simple gaming PC.
That'd be like reading a vegetarian magazine written by Burger King.

"Samsung's S23s" is like saying "Apple's 14s". Apple's phone series is called iPhone, Samsung's phone series is called Galaxy.

I do notice occasional stuttering frame drops on my 3060 when I have discord open. I downgraded my drivers thinking it was that but nope. Noticed no such thing when exiting discord so I guess that answers that.

If this is true this bug would be counteracting another rbug I'm experiencing, where my memory clocks never idle lol.
