April Fools was a week ago; why the hell is this post still on the front page?

Haha, as I wake up and wipe the sleep crust from my eyes, I thought I was still dreaming (as in asleep). But your comment makes sense! Time to be skeptical all day!

We're fed so many lies all the time and when a big, obvious one like this shows up in the stream it's just another jolt of alarm that my system can't keep taking anymore. If we lived in happier and more peaceful times I might have enjoyed it even.

It's great being in a time zone where it's already April 2nd when the Americans start pulling this shit. You think you've made it through the nonsense and then BAM, here's another day of it except ramped up to 11.

April's fools Day is every day.

Im still waiting for the foretold Oscar Mayer-Intel

On top of that, so many people forget it’s April 1st, and actually believe it

I did forget it was the 1st, and I did laugh initially. Then I remebered the date. So to me at least, it was funny. :shrug:

Having a sense of humor helps.

Well, it closes with:

At press time, the companies said the deal was expected to close shortly after the industry finished checking the calendar.

I agree, but it's still better than the "pranks" that hugely wink at you and think they're clever, but they're obviously some marketing team trying to come up with ideas that aren't offensive..... yeah, I said it, this dreck is better than that dreck. heh.

We already knew stock price wasn't tied to reality

SEC? In this day and age? Yeah.. right..

They would if AMD actually announced something like this.

This is entirely a Techspot joke, there is no AMD press release: https://www.amd.com/en/newsroom/press-release-search.html
