Yeah, I know. There was some kid on Twitter who was trying to tell me that it was the solder in an x86 machine (he actually said "a Microsoft computer") that made them slower. Apple, without the solder was much faster.
According to this person's bio they had an undergraduate education in computer science ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Key Opinion Leader". I think it's the new word for "Influencer".

I am pretty sure KOL predates Influencer in modern internet usage. Before that they were simply known as Internet Celebrities. May be it is rarely used now. So apology for not explaining the acronyms.

Who introduced the term KOL and bestows the K title?
It is not only HN. It is practically the whole Internet. Go around the Top 20 hardware and Apple website forum and you see the same thing, also vastly amplify by a few KOL on twitter.
I dont remember I have ever seen anything quite like it in tech circle. People were happily running around spreading misinformation.
