1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,359
it's true all you need is love and a

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:09,120
train NVIDIA's acquisition of ARM was always

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:12,480
going to face some pretty intense scrutiny before it gets approved and it

4
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:15,839
looks like that's exactly what's happening right now reports indicate

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,800
that the british government is going to be looking into the deal not only to

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:23,359
determine whether it might be anti-competitive but also due to

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:27,359
national security concerns which kind of makes sense when you consider ARM has

8
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:32,079
long been looked at as a neutral designer that's now being taken

9
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:36,719
over by an out-of-country firm in NVIDIA and those prank bombs they placed in the

10
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:40,800
office of the lieutenant specter attorney general didn't help either

11
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:45,040
that'll get you right into prison the initial report is set to be released

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:50,160
by the end of july and while it isn't exactly clear how

13
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:54,559
long the process will take it doesn't look like the merger is going to be

14
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:58,399
completed anytime soon maybe we'll all finally have graphics cards by the time

15
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:02,000
it does maybe but the next big shortage we'll

16
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:06,720
have to worry about might not even be chips it may actually be storage

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:10,080
which does involve chips and the reason might surprise you although we're used

18
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:14,640
to thinking of crypto as being something that demands high power gpus new types

19
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:19,040
of cryptocurrencies such as chia instead leverage hard drives and ssds the idea

20
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:22,799
is that a user will allocate disk space instead of GPU resources in order to

21
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:26,400
contribute to the blockchain the growing popularity of this type of crypto is

22
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:31,280
already causing a surge in demand in china with miners buying high capacity

23
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:35,040
hard drives on mass and price increases are expected to follow in the near

24
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:39,759
future so maybe next year you'll finally be able to run your steam games

25
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:44,240
but have nowhere to store them to bring back cd-roms baby

26
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:48,320
blue phone storage no

27
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:51,920
that's too slow it's emmc it's a different thing altogether

28
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:55,840
of course brands are still trying to take measures to stop crypto related

29
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:59,280
product shortages and it looks like NVIDIA is going to be doubling down on

30
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:03,439
their efforts as team green is reportedly going to be releasing a fully

31
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:06,880
refreshed rtx 30 series stack with mining limiters restricting the ability

32
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:11,440
of users to mine ethereum and other popular cryptocurrencies allegedly it's

33
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:14,959
unhackable this requires both hardware and software support so you should be

34
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:19,599
fine if you already have an rtx 3070 3080 or 3090 and are trying to mine of

35
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:23,280
course if you're just trying to game this is probably good news for you

36
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:27,760
and there are always other ways to earn passive income like buying some crypto

37
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:32,239
doge and now it looks like it's time for the

38
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:36,400
quick bits thank you john for scripting this in the drop sennheiser hd6xx

39
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:40,560
headphones are what we're talking about today they're one of drop's all-time

40
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:44,720
best sellers with over 60 000 sold the driver and sound structure compared to

41
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:49,440
the hd650 is completely unchanged and it delivers balanced mid-range and a

42
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:52,720
natural sounding bass response as well they've included a detachable six foot

43
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:57,280
cable instead of a 10 foot based on community feedback along with a 1 8 inch

44
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:01,040
plug that is versatile for everyday use and in case you need one it comes with a

45
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:03,920
quarter inch adapter as well and it comes with sennheiser's long-term

46
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:08,720
support click the link below to join the drop today riley didn't write a quick

47
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:12,800
bits thing so it's time for time for quick bits on to the quick bits the rtx

48
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:16,080
3080 ti has been a topic of discussion for several months now and it looks like

49
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:19,840
they're finally making their way to retailers a box of the new cards was

50
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,760
spotted in hong kong this weekend so hopefully we'll see them soon as there's

51
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:27,599
a pretty large gap both in price and performance between the 3080 and 3090

52
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:33,840
that it makes sense for NVIDIA to fill but the msrp on them is supposedly 9.99

53
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,040
us that actually makes them cheap

54
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:40,080
i'm so so sad though that that's msrp yeah you're

55
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:46,080
going to pay like three times that on ebay yeah that's before i get it and sell it thank you riley nasa has made

56
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,760
history again as the ingenuity mars a helicopter specifically built for flight

57
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:53,680
on well mars ha imagine that

58
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,439
took off and landed successfully on the red planet making it the first aircraft

59
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:01,120
to complete a controlled powered flight on a world not named earth i'm sure the

60
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,799
wright brothers would be jealous if nasa hadn't named the area wright brothers

61
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:09,120
field but no word yet if nasa is planning a uh biplane flight on mars in

62
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:13,280
the future martians already have those so they had them long ago yeah i don't need

63
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:17,280
to do it yeah yeah this caveman technology to them two

64
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:20,320
passengers in a tesla have passed away after a crash outside of houston the

65
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,919
accident happened this weekend with a 2019 model s crashing at high speed

66
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:27,280
while no one was at the wheel indicating the passengers may have been using and

67
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:31,360
unfortunately misunderstanding the autopilot and or the beta full self

68
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,560
driving feature some commenters are pointing out that tesla might need to do

69
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,840
a better job ensuring consumers know the limitations of the car's self-driving

70
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:42,560
technology to avoid accidents like this in the future or at least until fully

71
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:46,320
autonomous driving becomes a reality in happier news if you've been waiting for

72
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:50,479
the xbox cloud gaming to hit your non-Android device your weight may be

73
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:53,840
over tomorrow as some xbox game pass ultimate members will be able to play on

74
00:04:51,919 --> 00:04:57,360
the service on Windows and iOS instead of just on Android

75
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:01,600
it's still in beta but you'll be able to play over 100 games in your browser and

76
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,639
microsoft hopes to make the service available to everyone who signed up for

77
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:12,160
game pass ultimate over the next few months we can only hope that it's a smoother rollout than google stadia

78
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:16,880
that's true but you know they also had the whole

79
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:21,840
negative latency thing that turned out to be pretty negative

80
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,680
and nintendo is suing bowser but believe

81
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:28,479
it or not but we're not talking about the villain of its own creation nor are

82
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:33,600
we talking about the ceo of nintendo of america rather the defendant is one gary

83
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:36,880
bowser what are the odds who heads a team of switch hackers that have been

84
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:40,080
selling software that enables piracy given nintendo's historically

85
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:44,160
heavy-handed approach towards protecting its own ip the suit isn't surprising

86
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:47,919
especially as bowser has already been arrested for fraud but

87
00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:50,960
not for kidnapping princess peach yeah that's cause that wouldn't be fried yeah

88
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:56,639
that that that would be false imprisonment and that's our show wednesday's tech news won't be in

89
00:05:54,560 --> 00:06:03,080
another castle in fact it'll be right here so we'll see you then you're going

90
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,080
down Anthony okay bye
