Apparently Stefan did a review in the RTX 2080 and/or Ti and it was a trainwreck too, with a lot of negative comments in the article on The Verge.
for that sweet 4k/144 that nothing can push...A $2,000 monitor is required for 4K gaming?

If he can't build a PC the right way then he probably couldn't clean a toilet. He seems to act like an elitist which I abhor.How in the feck does that dude still have a job, and still doing videos. Put him on bathroom duty!
If anyone of us screwed up our jobs that bad, they would be kicking our white ass out the door.
Again, they didn't know any better. This is why the video was released. You're still assuming they should have known .... they didn't, clearly. You're trying to lay fault. And I don't blame you, there is this constant human need to do this .. to blame and fault others ... regrettably. Look, ... put your sister in front of this video. Or, someone who doesn't know a damn thing about building a PC and ask them what they thought of the video. They are going to say, "looks good to me!" ...
It's entirely plausible that no one at The Verge knew any better. I personally think this is what happened. No one was hurt, it's really not that big of a deal and everyone got their little laugh. Since I don't try and fault others or escalate situations, such as this .. it didn't phase me. I was indifferent to the video. There's an awful lot of PC builder doing a fair amount of Chest beating and peakcocking and that's fine too ... but I don't think for one minute that they should have known better. No one is going to harm themselves in this way. I mean, there's a lot of pie on their face right now. No one is going to choose to do this. That's just not logical. The better logic being, they were all idiots and no one knew any better and the video was release and they also didn't know any better to not release the video.
If they are releasing a guide telling people how to build a computer THEY SHOULD KNOW HOW TO BUILD A COMPUTER. This isn't rocket science. The Verge made this whole big deal about Techtuber not being journalists, meaning they consider themselves to be journalists. Fine, then you had damn well better believe I am going to hold them up to those standards. They utterly FAILED. You NEVER release false information as a journalist. You NEVER fail to verify that helpful information is correct. As journalists they have a DUTY to ensure that this shit is correct. There is NO EXCUSE for this. Stop defending shit journalism.
I am passionate about journalism. I hate seeing people that claim to be journalists pull this shit. Verge is a big site, with a lot of traffic. If people follow it they WILL break their computers. They never fixed their article either, so its not like people still can't find it and use it. I wouldn't be anywhere near as hard on them if they had taken everything down, fully admitted fault (beyond saying minor errors, fuck them for that bullshit lie), and worked to remedy. Mistakes happen, a good journalist will own up to the mistake and correct it. A shit journalist will run, hide, and try to deflect.
Me either with any guild I've been in on MMO's in over 20 years.I play several competitive games and the only peeps I use a mic with is my clan so ......
I mean really, I've never seen a women who was a clan member, abused by a clan member who got away with his bullshit.
Do you guys have different experiences ?

Today's journalism has gone down the toilet. Whether its CNN (fake news), the failing NY Times, and gaming journalists. Nobody has any sense of pride in their work for verifying correct information. The first one to break a story it goes out unverified, fake news all over the place. Its sad really. The internet (social media) has ruined journalism!
And I thought advertising dollars had something to do with it.
It does indeed, but ad revenue has also ruined youtube, websites, and tv in general. TV is the worst, its up to 25min for every 60min show now. Why wonder people cut the cord, but that doesn't work either because the internet ads are getting worse by the day. I watched a linus tech tips vid the other day, there were 3 different ads in a 10min vid. WTF.
Advertisers kill every fucking thing they get their meat hooks into.
I know! Years ago, I remember watching movies/tv shows that glorified Marketing firms, now they should be embarrassed working in marketing (email spammers). I don't hear anyone brag about their internet marketing jobs?
Something something correlation vs causationWhen Cable TV became completely subverted by pharmaceutical commercials for anti-depressant drugs ...... the suicide rate increased 38% ....... Think there's a connection?
P.S. Yes, I just pulled all that out of my ass ....... but come on, you haven't thought the same thing yourselves?
Guess they don't have the money to build out a bigger safe space.Kind of off, kind of on topic. This is the only forum I'll post to, now... After reading a pure "opinion" piece, and sharing my opinion, I've lost all respect for The Verge....

Surprised they haven't just gotten rid of their comment section like every other publication out there yet.Kind of off, kind of on topic. This is the only forum I'll post to, now... After reading a pure "opinion" piece, and sharing my opinion, I've lost all respect for The Verge....

I can kind of see why. Take a look at fox news. Their site is loaded with anti trump (deserved, or not) spam, making the comments secrtion a brown storm. Liberal leaning sites (yahoo) are loaded with anti democrat spam(again, deserved or not), ruining both sides' comments sections.Surprised they haven't just gotten rid of their comment section like every other publication out there yet.
I do run a semiconductor fab out of my bedroom, you insensitive jerk.But it sounds impressive when you tell people you build your own PCs, like you actually run a semiconductor fab out of your bedroom.

I dont want to brag, but I often go to the refrigerator, pull out a bunch of things and build my own sandwiches...
Hahahah seriouslyAccording to WTF Tech, The Verge is now filing DMCA takedowns of videos using this clip.
Instead of blocking comments they should have pulled the video. There is more tech to be had watching Kyle unbox a gaming chair.

Image is everything these daysThats pretty petty.

They're going to keep on until it's known as the Verge Effect.
ha ha ha.
good luck the internet never forgets.
Someone should edit the Wiki page to include the Verge.

In September 2018, The Verge, an American technology news and media network operated by Vox Media, released a youtube video "How We Built a $2000 Custom Gaming PC" [36] which was filled with questionable advice [37]. In February 2019, Vox Media, started issuing DMCA takedowns of videos using this clip [38][39]
