Not actually Churchill of course (and boots rather than pants in most attributions) - this is another one of those old proverbs of uncertain origin that are assigned to folks like Churchill, Einstein, etc. There are examples of incredibly similar wording going back as far as the 18th century, and similar sentiments all the way back to ancient Rome. A big clue might be that pants to a British tongue are undergarments, and speaking so openly of one's underwear would be quite unbecoming of a figure like Churchill. All in all it is most meta that a misattributed quote might be misquoted *and* misattributed!

Recently, I spent several months collecting parts for a new computer. During this time, I subscribed to several leak channels. Shortly after I finished building the computer, I decided that there was no point in continuing to watch it and I unsubscribed from all these channels. It's just a waste of time. Now I feel better when I see that I'm not the only one who thinks this way.

Best advice is buy what you can have in the NOW and don't wait for the later (unless you are actually on generation release period). Never buy on promises. Upgrading your computer every 4 years or more is fine. RAM is cheap.

@InnuendoXP 2 ай бұрын

Yeah if anything the only channels worth keeping up with are the review channels that are monitoring the state of what is 'currently' on the market & how it's been moving, just to keep tabs on what's actually out there & what you could get with your money today. There's no predicting things like crypto-booms, RAM price surges .etc - whole teams of people paid a lot more money than I'll ever see in my life can't do that & it's foolish to try.

@InnuendoXP 2 ай бұрын

@@Splarkszter yep agreed. I waited 8 years with a GTX 970 for PC hardware to give me the 2-3x performance uplift for the comparable price I've always been accustomed to, & nothing with console-parity was costing sensible money- so while waiting for RDNA2 & Ampere to come down in price, the fast DDR4 I'd been looking at for a year halved in price, quality B550 boards were widely available & affordable, the Zen 3 5600 was available for less than half the launch price of the 5600X, fast Gen4 SSDs which matched that big PS5 feature became widely available & affordable .etc So, the correct time to buy is when there's a worthwhile uplift for your money. If prices are high, the indie market is great, my Steam backlog is huge, so I'm happy to wait.

The worst is when they're so unknowledgeable about technology that they say something which is obvious bs, so they get called out, and then it turns out that something passably resembling their claim did end up being true. So they claim vindication. But the thing they got called out for is a completely different claim, so they're either full of shit and trying to latch onto something to claim rightness, or they did actually have a good leak but they were too inept to actually communicate it usefully. This was a big one around texture streaming (which they didn't call texture streaming at the time), certain leak channels would have you believe that this was going to make high-speed SSDs into extra VRAM, rather than just merely improve their usefulness in certain (mostly open-world) games with techniques not dissimilar to existing industry practice. If they had said the latter we would've probably nodded along, but since they said the former we all called bullshit, only for them to claim vindication when we got a tangentially related thing.

I used to get so mad at all the tech channels in the mobile space saying that Apple was going to go portless to evade the EU common charger law. Because anyone that actually took the time to read the common charge for law, or even a summary of it, would have seen the provision that completely restricted that. And yet the bigger channels on KZfaq like mhkbd, Renee Richards , John Prosser.... Also confidently predicted that Apple would switch to a portless phone. It was just so frustrating knowing that they were all wrong and then reading the comments and seeing them misinform people in real time at a mass scale. Frustrates me much more to think that this same s*** is happening on much more important issues, news channels. Because KZfaq doesn't sustain news gathering anyways, and it rewards nothing but a low effort clickbait and volume over quality.

Searching for information from the internet has become more involved of a process. Google really is only good for very generic non-controversial topics. But when it comes to product reviews or anything someone might have an incentive to lie about, it's all random articles that either don't hold any relevant information or are outright lies. Internet is becoming more segregated, pockets of actual good, nuanced information becoming difficult to find, and the people who do find them, see very little reason to leave the bubble once they find one that has some actual quality information, which in the long run too causes its own problems. Easily accessible web like the top google searches becoming increasingly useless white noise no-man's land, where entities fight over the attention of people who have not yet found their niche bubble to get better information from.

I had a lot of things going in my head during the video, getting ANGRY and FROWNING to the news which all made a super big messy blob in my brain that I can't articulate. But I for sure love the way Philip uses Caboosing at the start of the video. The truth has never been important, anyone make their own truth.

Only reason I'm still watching is because I find it too taxing to go through at least 2h of news each day of tech news across multiple websites. But I think everybody should have realized by now if it comes down to the specifics only trust on what comes out max. 3 months before the expected yearly or bi-yearly release, then the disappointment can't be that big if still some facts are off.

With the leaks, leakers and predictions its a lot like being in a brainstorming session in a professional setting. No doubt that a lot of these guys know what they are talking about - and never forget that a lot of the information talked about on these channels are not "just leaks" but also analysis based speculation which is completely different - but like a discussion in a professional setting some will be wrong, some will be right, some will be bad takes which actually turn out true in the long run and some of the most obvious "of course it will be this" thing will go the way of the dinosaur. Opinions can be entertaining, useful and when talked about by those - even leakers - with some form of actual technical / market understanding, well im completely fine with those videos. The issue is not the creators themselves, they are tailoring to a niche that is obviously there, waiting mouth open. The problem is with those that digest it as fact without due diligence and treat comments which are by their very nature subject to change as Gospel. If someone goes to the wild west and buy snake oil and fools gold thats on the buyer.. change the behaviour of the consumers and it will force the providers to adapt.

Okay, this video is great and all, but what the heck is going on at 6:35 ? Is that frame-gen artifacts? Or has Philip somehow figured out how to AI generate all his RDR2 footage lol.

When the video started, I for sure thought he would be talking about Moores Law is Dead. I watched a few of his videos before the RTX 3000 launch, but pretty quickly I noticed it was very hit and miss, so not very credible. The only rumors I pay attention to, are the remarks made by Igors Lab or Digital Foundry. Also often what they DON'T say can tell you a decent amount. Recently they've been talking about PS5 Pro rumors on multiple occasions, so that's usually a good indicator they have reason to believe it's real.

Good video, both calling this out and highlighting how low effort it is and how difficult it is to combat. Like you said it is super easy and quick to make up lies and very time consuming and difficult to prove things wrong in any sort of meaningful way before the lies have been spread and reached too wide an audience. We've been seeing the same thing in politics for as long as I can remember.

The success of these channels is a testament to how difficult it is to see them for what they are. You seem better at it than most. Do you have any pointers on how to spot this for ourselves?

@ruolbu 2 ай бұрын

1) stop investing time and energy into what comes up next and spend more time enjoying what's already there. 2) Once you stop caring about prediction content you will recognize anyone who primarily talks about future releases as hacks that prey on people who have not yet learned 1)

if you see any consistency in schedule of posting, with outrageous headlines/claims, then you can be quite sure it is just content farm, instead of serious leaks. There are few accounts that seem worth following, none of them being youtubers afaik. Leaks content is kinda boring anyway, - just assume performance gain will be a little smaller than the last generation jump. Even if you sum up legit leaks in last week pre-launch, you'll likely come to the same conclusion, as they're incomplete - even benchmark result leak may be misleading...

@@tteqhu Consistent schedule is a bad sign, but doesn't prove anything on its own. Not all leakers make outrageous headlines/thumbnails, MLID mostly doesn't. The only good evidence I've seen against that particular channel is the drop in viewcount that Philip just showed, and maybe a bit of my own intuition. As you guys say, it seems simplest to just ignore leaks altogether, rather than filter through them. GPUs are doomed anyway.
