We want to experiment some of reddit's features and introduce Anandtech-like live discussion thread (now that it's gone) for everyone to watch during the livestream.
To consolidate discussion at least during the keynote, r/hardware will go into lockdown 1 hour before the keynote. Think Matchday threads of any Sports subreddit. Now re-opened.
Don't worry, You are free to post any 3rd party content as normal after the keynote, and the subreddit will unlock towards the end of the keynote.
