A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Who is Ian Cuttress, and why should I watch a 1 hour video on the subject? Does this bring any new facts or perspectives to the table, besides what we already know
He is a pretty respected and known (former)reviewer in the tech industry. Used to be a writer for anandtech for many years, and now does some kine of consulting for tech companies. But most importantly, he personally knows, and as far as i know is respected, by both ltt and gamersnexus.
Oh nice, never knew he was previously an anandtech writer. Thanks for the info 👌
FWIW he says this in the beginning of the video.
He was formerly at Anandtech, I think.
Well, he knows tech media, and he's generally regarded as a competent tech journalist 🤷♂️
His deep dives on new chips used the be the highlight of my month when he was writing for them. I haven't seen anything approaching the level of thoroughness he displays anywhere else. He also has either his master's or a PhD in electrical engineering, so he may know a thing or two.
Edit: it's a PhD.
