Tech news is like your fingers something you can count on but unlike fingers Tech
news is far less vulnerable to firework accidents Apple's upcoming AI features
may not impress or surprise those already familiar with AI Tech according
to Mark German the only surprise may be
that the features won't be fully on device in his most recent power on
newsletter German discusses how apple is apparently focusing on tools that people
may actually want to use generally a good idea a big part of this is Project
grey matter an AI toolkit that Apple will integrate into its core apps like
Safari photos and notes it's probably similar to Microsoft's co-pilot but with
the Revolutionary idea of not overusing
the name co-pilot many familiar AI powered features will be introduced by
the fruit fraternity including photo
retouching and suggested email replies and messages Apple also wants to
generate smart recap that will summarize users missed notifications text messages
notes and other media but while it's really exciting that apple is doing what
everyone else has already done Tim and the team are apparently also backsliding
on their promise to keep users data on their devices for privacy this comes
after the company has repeatedly criticized its competitors for not
keeping user data on device only but
Apple has to add AI I mean it's not like
any consumers actually want it but because every other company is already
doing it and if they don't Tim Cook is going to look like a loser Cinder Pai
and sa Adella are going to give him a swirly he going to have flashbacks it
sucks AMD's next motherboard chipet will be skipping a number according to
Chinese Outlet bench life AMD's current Flagship chipset is x670 but it appears
the company's followup will be x870 not x770 because apparently no one
cares about consistent numbering anymore which is evidenced by the fact we don't
have an iPhone or Windows 9 you can skip
them when you want to it's a free country the name was initially leaked
earlier this year by YouTuber mors law is dead who also claimed that the boards
will be shown off at this year's computex this would make sense since AMD
is giving the opening keynote at the event which the company promises will
showcase their next generation of high performance pc the comput Tech's debut
may also be part of the reason for the naming change it seems Intel will also
be debuting new mobos at the event specifically the z890 motherboard AMD
doesn't want their number to be smaller than team Blues everyone will point and
laugh see the Tim Cook example it's all rock locker room hazing at this point
swirlies all around this follows countless examples of tech companies
changing their naming scheme to compete with other naming schemes just last week
a leaker claimed that AMD renamed their upcoming mobile chips from ryzen AI 100
to ryzen AI 300 to appear bigger than Intel's upcoming 4 ultra 200 CPUs
frankly I'm tired of Manufacturers trying to appeal to US size queens many
of us actually prefer a smaller form factor I'm just going to say Jay growth
that ah Samsung is denying a report citing
quality issues with its high bandwidth memory or hbm products last week Reuters
published a report claiming that Samsung's hbm chips failed NVIDIA's
quality tests due to problems with heat and power consumption frankly I'm just
surprised NVIDIA has efficiency standards I mean this is a big deal
because hbm is used mostly in AI applications to process the massive
amount of data generated since NVIDIA holds about 80% of the global AI
Hardware Market it would be a massive hit to Samsung's reputation if this
Reuters report is true and it might be
Samsung said its newest hbm products work fine with many processors but
doesn't specifically say that those products work with NVIDIA's processors
leading to speculation that Samsung is simply trying to save face that would be
understandable since memory is the only Samsung silicon anyone really cares
about I mean Google will apparently be moving manufacturing for the tensor
chips found in pixel phones from Samsung to tsmc like Samsung's hbm products the
tensor processors the company manufacturers have had issues with
thermals and power efficiency wait a second but hold on easy solution for
Samsung just stop making everything you manufacture run hotter than the cast of
Baywatch so easy and simple you should do it almost as easy and simple as
comfort can be thanks to our sponsor motion gray they offer ergonomic

your purchase hey I had some extra news lying around so I made you these quick
bits yeah okay so go on take them ASUS has issued a second
statement committing to improving their warranty and repairs process in response
to customer backlash in what kind of seems like an apology for the first
apology it made two weeks ago in response to customer backlash
this time the company got a lot more specific about its plans mentioning
video and photo documentation accurate quotation repairing instead of fully
replacing specific components leaving cosmetic damage unless asked to fix it
and overall trying to not address customers dealing with broken Hardware
by making their lives even worse it seems like it should be obvious but here
we are ASUS has also taken another whack at its Rog Ally handheld and right on
the heels of a leak about the upgraded Alx news about another Windows handheld
was revealed to Windows Central Lenovo is reportedly working on a legion go
light powered by an AMD Z1 series processor just like the OG go Windows
Central says the go light will feature some refinements but doesn't go into
specifics leaving me no choice but to assume it will be covered in some kind
of exotic silk when you play it you have to have your pinkies
up in space news Boeing's long troubled
star liner launch faced another setback as NASA discovered both a helium leak
and a design vulnerability that was in the space capsules propulsion system
Engineers have found a workaround for the propulsion issue but the leak will
still be there when Starliner Launches on June 1st H that doesn't seem right
you know about it you're not going to fix it meanwhile SpaceX who has been
beating Boeing for years may have faced a setback in its next Starship launch
after one of the company's Raptor 2 engines literally exploded man say what
you will about rocket failures but it's kind of crazy that Boeing can't even
fail as good as SpaceX YouTube music is
rolling out a feature on Android that will allow users to search for songs by
humming singing playing or whistling them similar to Shazam or even Google
search but apparently it's faster than both of those and pretty accurate from
the look of it though far from 100% at
least for the Verge the app interpreted a snippet of Tom weight's fumbling with
the blues for boom boom Boomerang by D
billions what appears to be a bootleg gani version of The Wiggles that somehow
has more cumulative YouTube views than Taylor Swift this is going to be a great
journalistic tool and a Swiss startup
called final spark is renting out online
access to the world's first living processor it's the Zerg we made the Zerg
the service called neurop platform costs
$500 per month per user for access to a
computer made of 16 human brain
organoids 3D cell masses of brain
tissue okay three dozen universities are
interested in neurop platform access for biocomputing research but the
bioprocessor is only good for experiments lasting several months since
the organoids only live for 100 days do
we bury them is is there like a little cellular funer how do you handle this
situation what is what are we doing
here I've been making some version of this show for about 10 years and things
are getting weird okay and how will you handle coming back on Wednesday for more
delightful Tech news I'm sorry you have to come back it is mandatory I don't
make the rules okay I just say them and then feel anxiety
