ah the tech news has always been celebrated for its Excellence there's a
Canadian Tech news by Tech link inspired by that same exellence you know this
reference it's French the first reviews for AMD's new mobile chips seem to be
blowing Qualcomm out of the water for the most part so far only the ryzen AI 9
HX 370 a processor with a longer title than Daenerys Targaryen has been
reviewed but its specs are impressive the 370s npu is capable of 50 trillion
operations per second which would be great if you could really use it for
anything Microsoft's co-pilot plus programs are currently unsupported but
you can use it for all the other AI applications you'd want to run on a
notebook I guess Qualcomm certainly
can't match AMD in Mobile gaming but ryzen still can't seem to catch up to
the Snapdragon X Elite when it comes to battery life however that's basically
qualcomm's only win and it's so weird to see this happen after the X Elite got so
much hype but maybe part of that is because most most Windows on- armed
devices aren't using the flagship processor as of right now the most
powerful Snapdragon chip can only be found in the Samsung Galaxy book 4 Edge
a laptop that shares Samsung's discontinued branding for the curved
screen phones it launched back in 2016 it's like they wanted us to not find it
hey that that phone was kind of it's like a waterfall you'll hate this laptop
AMD's upcoming ryzen 9,000 Series
Desktop CPUs may have been delayed because of a typo last week Tech Dr Edan
cutress claimed that the delay was due to a typo on the packaging this was
seemingly confirmed in an unsanctioned billybilly review seen by eagley Twitter
user hxl apparently AMD mislabeled the
ryzen 7 9700x and ryzen 59600 X CPUs as
ryen 9 on the chips heat spreaders it always hurts a little when your parents
misspell your name they didn't want you they wanted the other CPU while the
reports of this typo seem to be verified they might not entirely be the reason
for the delay wccf Tech claims that they were told by AMD there were issues
during testing I'm not an engineer but I'm pretty sure typos don't affect
performance and by all accounts ryzen 9000 can perform Billy Billy Creator and
relative with a dark secret ordinary Uncle Tony was able to break the
cinebench R23 world record for 16 core CPUs by overclocking a ryzen 9 950x to
6.5 GHz and drowning it in liquid nitrogen in front of a live crowd maybe
we don't let Uncle Tony babysit anymore his methods are unconventional SpaceX
successfully launched their Falcon 9 rocket again after an engine failure
occurred earlier this month meanwhile things haven't been so easy for Boeing
as two astronauts they sent to the International Space Station have been
trapped there for over 6 weeks longer than originally planned God that sounds
like hell NASA and Boeing are currently trying to figure out two issues with the
Starliner spacecraft that sent them up there for starters the crash reaction
Control Systems thrusters overheated and some of them shut off as Starliner was
approaching the ISS on June 6th I can't do this the other was the helium leak
that Boeing was warned about before launch he stop don't
launch what was that a helium thing
apparently that leak isn't really an issue but they wanted to take another look just in case the length of the
mission has been extended by NASA so that they can make sure the craft can
safely bring the astronauts back to Earth it seems important and figure out
how to avoid the same issue for the next Starliner Mission until then the
Starliner astronauts are living off the Space Station's Reserve Supply and I'm
sure the crew on the station are thrilled to have two more mouths to feed
for an indetermined amount of time they may have to hunt for food soon we could
eat Elvis now that's a deep cut reference and it's currently about time

manufacturers data collection practices and assess just how much of it is
actually legal and whether consent was obtained deceptively past reporting from
The New York Times indicates that these companies are hoovering up massive
amounts of potentially revealing data such as exactly how many times you've
been to the Crispy Cream drive-thru this year now Senators Ron widen and Edward
Marky say that they're selling this data for a song Hyundai got just 61 cents for
each car's data it was only 26 Cents a car for Honda whose drivers are

logitech's relatively new CEO H but sure
not sure uh told The Verge that she's intrigued by the concept of selling a

what about a diamond encrusted Mouse damn she's good Apple's upcoming
artificial intelligence features will launch later than expected according to
Mark German apparently the Cupertino Collective needs more time to work out
the bugs and will therefore miss the initial iOS 18 and iPad OS 18 updates
planned for September developers can however access some of the features now
thanks to iOS 18.1 Beta release with a
public Beta release expected sometime this summer fun fact Beta release is
also how doctors refer to the birth of TechLink writer Jacob Rush he wrote that
to describe himself he's not even here to defend himself a small team at MIT
has developed a new transistor for flash memory chips that doesn't wear away with
use not only did the new transistor show no signs of degradation after 100
billion switches but it also performs at comparative speeds to current Tech in
addition the transistor's tiny size could allow for denser memory storage so
it's everything better according to the researchers this could change the world
in like 10 to 20 years listen science is really cool it's just not that fast
unless you're at CERN then it's really
fast and high-tech exertion saving exoskeletons are going mainstream with a
pair of $4,000 super pants created by
Skip Innovations in collaboration with arter that clothing brand for Wilderness
explorers who lack the commitment to resort to cannibalism but they look good
the mo go or mountain goat can apparently boost leg strength by up to
40% so I'm skipping leg day at least until it runs out of power which only
takes about 3 hours super pants I'm not out of the house that long the
exoskeleton is still potentially a valuable device for users with mobility
issues or anybody who wants to role playay as a cockroach for the afternoon
and if you want to spend the afternoon role playing as a tech news reviewer who
Moon likes as a cockroach come on back here on Wednesday it might not be the
afternoon though it depends on on your time zone
