    tech reporters like toms hardware don’t know how the internet works at all.

    I’m sure they just don’t care. The vast amount of modern “journalism” is just reposting someone else’s story. And if they get clicks, they don’t much particularly care if it’s accurate.

      Modern journalism, LOL. I’ve been reading on implementing Forths recently, there’s plenty of texts that don’t make sense, because how the hell do you change basic dictionary if you don’t have a dictionary already? There might be an implementation that doesn’t explicitly list that basic dictionary in the order of used ones, but what was literally written was wrong.

      Even on things supposedly interesting only for people looking for specifics there’s plenty of vague and wrong texts. You start trying to approach the task by following them literally, then realize that’s not possible. Again and again. Until you just accept that you’ll get there faster if you make things up and do what you want, then add things you’ve missed along the way.
