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.

    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.
