The wording makes it sound like this just happened, but I remember seeing it before. Sure enough, some of the files in GitHub were updated 10 years ago, and most at least 6 years ago.

I too was very confused by this and have the same memory as you; this was released a long time ago already. Did the Tom’s hardware guy not check the date?
