So in other words, we still don't know yet.
I actually had no idea EVGA made motherboards at all until I saw this. Last thing I bought from them was a power supply many years ago. Whatever the case, it sounds like this has been debunked.
Sounds like it was. From the article:
Update 07:45 UTC: We've heard from workers at EVGA Spain "it's just another day at the office". So maybe it was only Kingpin/the OC team in TW that has resigned, or the whole story is completely untrue.
Update 16:41 UTC: We just received the following statement from EVGA:
We saw those message and they are rumors. Our Taiwan office is still operating and Kingpin is still with EVGA. EVGA is still doing business and supporting its customers. Thanks for reaching out
I'm surprised the number isn't higher than that tbh.
As they say, there's nothing more permanent than a temporary fix.
It turns out it came out in 2016. I was thinking 2018, but I was wrong. https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/official-reddit-app/
In a way, it's been even longer than that, since they bought out Alien Blue in 2014, according to Wikipedia
I felt Reddit's quality started going downhill around 2021, which is not long after ~~they introduced the official app and~~ started allowing Google logins.
EDIT: Looks like the official app's been around longer than I thought. :O
What's the TL;DW version?
It's GPL3 and the source code is available on GitLab, so it's open source. That's usually a good sign as far as software safety goes, since it's harder to sneak nasty things in when your code is out in the open than it is with a closed-source app.
Here's hoping that they don't.
