On the one hand, Steve probably did think it was small enough to get away with, and he's the only one who knows for certain what his relationship with AMD is like. On the other hand, why act indignant that AMD decided to release information? Even if it was a mistake, why the outrage? Seems petty. On the third and final hand, "Dr" Ian Cutress needs a swirlie

I shouldn't have said "ruin," that's a bit strong and I think things will be fine. I just don't know why Steve would antagonize AMD over this. Like, who cares lol

We may never know, but after listening to the clip a time or two, it sounds to me less like a deliberate NDA breach and more like GN decided that they had enough wiggle room to get away with saying it without technically being in breach.

It's extremely common for press to be annoyed when someone else breaks embargo, in this case WCCFTech who presumably didn't sign the same embargo and just got given the info over Discord by AMD instead. At that point the company is (likely unintentionally) not treating all outlets fairly.

My understanding is that the info in question was given during a public Q&A session by AMD. No outlet had privileged access to it, and Wccftech simply reported on the Q&A session.

No outlet had privileged access to it, and Wccftech simply reported on the Q&A session. In this case it's AMD that is "breaking" the embargo -- they got GN et all to agree to NDA with a schedule, then broke that schedule. They can do that, the NDA only covers disclosure in one direction. But it's a dick move. Press hate signing NDAs in the first place. They'll do it so they can better inform the audience by having a full presentation ready to go when the NDA expires. Getting them to sign one and then leaking bits and pieces means the guys who are under NDA are in the worst position. They can't report full context still, and they have to do additional work to verify exactly what info is now public so they're gonna be delayed vs the outlet with no NDA who can just barf up anything they get. Steve doing a little tit-for-tat and breaking NDA on a tiny, super unimportant bit of info (fclck can reach 3000 with extreme OC, big whoop) is just his way of letting AMD know he's pissed, I think.

FuturePastNow posted:is nvidia doing anything new or different from what they've done before more layering of the stack than typical, due to a stock glut. so there might be a longer period where the stack looks like 4090, 4080, 3090ti, 3090, 3080ti 3080, etc etc instead of previous as they still need to move a ton of existing GPUs and they're managing supply to enforce price discipline and keep the cards from declining too far in price, at least that's the plan.

I've got a neatly cable managed Fractal case with a nice tinted glass side, even though there's no RGB so you can't see a thing in there unless the daylight hits it in just the right way. But it makes the PC look nice and swish on my desk.

jay got a promo screwdriver and liked it even though he broke it and constantly complained about the price. kind of a backhanded compliment but overall positive imo. he refers a technical analysis that i also watched and it seems to perform pretty good too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyqGa4DZeKU

Breaking a screwdriver is not a good look for that screwdriver no matter how much you liked it.. Unless you were doing something really stupid with it like trying to lever open a locked door.

He dropped it from head height (he is like 6' 3" or so) onto a floor with commercial carpet on top of concrete. The screwdriver itself didn't break, one clip in the bit holder did, so it holds one less bit.

carpeted cement. I would rather fall on a hardwood floor. But I agree 100$ for a screwdriver and none of it should break from a free fall. If they were whipping it at the floor then that's different

I understand spending $$$ for lifetime quality so I'm just not the person this is for

That's... how much I would pay? I mean $80 USD is still over $100 CAD. I mean when I budget for something I don't just count the sticker price, not that I'm budgeting for screwdrivers over here but a sticker price doesn't mean much on its own e- sorry, it's the sex number, not 79.99. So it's 91$ sticker price. Inflation sucks but including taxes and shipping isn't unfair imo

All for a third the price. And the length attachment makes it real easy to reach screws even inside a tightly packed SFF enclosure. The only reason I can see to buy it is that you really want to give Linus money and don't want something more practically branded. This is coming from someone with 2x GN coffee mugs and their mouse mat, the latter of which is easily the highest quality mouse mat I've ever had and I'd happily pay the same price for with or without the GN branding. Seriously, the GN mouse mat is loving fantastic.
