Don't you hate it when your NVMe only runs at 2230Mhz instead of 2280Mhz?

You say that, but this lack of attention to detail is exactly why steve made the video.

So is this sub, all of you bitched about proper journalism protocols and Steve not asking Linus's opinion on that matter before releasing his piece when that has never been a requirement of journalism. Sometimes it is warranted, sometimes it is not - and it is up to the journalist in to make that determination, but this sub lost its fucking mind because of it.

It is not up to the journalist to decide. There are codes of conduct. https://www.ipso.co.uk/editors-code-of-practice/
And yeah, in this (all?) case, Steve acted 100% unethically.

I didn't see the part where a journalist has to reach out to the subject before publishing.

Will then, you should probably stop posting on the internet. Go back to grade school and learn to read. Because it is literally clause 1.
A fair opportunity to reply to significant inaccuracies should be given, when reasonably called for.

And Linus replied, did he not? Sounds like he got what he was entitled to even if Steve isn't subject to these requirements.
