I know a guy who does video encoding for a piracy telegram channel and his "tips" are about as coherent as this. He's the kind of guy who takes a DVD rip, and upscales it to 4K and encodes it into a 12-bit file to "make it HDR" and insists he knows what he's doing. He is able to speak in a manner where he sounds just confident enough that you might actually believe something he's telling you until you think about it for more than a second and realize nothing he's saying makes any sense at all.

what the commenter's describing in the second paragraph is optimus in muxless configuration. I'm not sure why they think this is "early GPU switching tech", because it's historically been easier to make an OS switch the mux than to juggle buffers between iGPU and eGPU.

frustrating because they're not wrong on how the tech works, they are wrong on everything else (and haven't watched the video closely at all)

More importantly to me: people like this love to show up and go, "ah, this is topologically similar to this other thing I knew about, and therefore it's nothing special." Like, the guy is specifically trying to assert that I've covered a subject that is in fact boring. It's important to him, for some reason, to prove that I didn't discover something unusual. And since the feature is obviously unusual on its face, he had to dig and find something else to compare to that would make it sound mundane.

That's what really irritates me - someone can just be wrong or poor at communicating and I won't make fun of them, but being wrong or posting word salad because they're breathlessly rushing to be a dick baffles me.
