00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.359
it's true all you need is love and a

00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:09.120
train NVIDIA's acquisition of ARM was always

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:12.480
going to face some pretty intense scrutiny before it gets approved and it

00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:15.839
looks like that's exactly what's happening right now reports indicate

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:18.800
that the british government is going to be looking into the deal not only to

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:23.359
determine whether it might be anti-competitive but also due to

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:27.359
national security concerns which kind of makes sense when you consider ARM has

00:00:25.439 --> 00:00:32.079
long been looked at as a neutral designer that's now being taken

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

00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:40.800
office of the lieutenant specter attorney general didn't help either

00:00:38.559 --> 00:00:45.040
that'll get you right into prison the initial report is set to be released

00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:50.160
by the end of july and while it isn't exactly clear how

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:54.559
long the process will take it doesn't look like the merger is going to be

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:58.399
completed anytime soon maybe we'll all finally have graphics cards by the time

00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:02.000
it does maybe but the next big shortage we'll

00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:06.720
have to worry about might not even be chips it may actually be storage

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:10.080
which does involve chips and the reason might surprise you although we're used

00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:14.640
to thinking of crypto as being something that demands high power gpus new types

00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:19.040
of cryptocurrencies such as chia instead leverage hard drives and ssds the idea

00:01:17.119 --> 00:01:22.799
is that a user will allocate disk space instead of GPU resources in order to

00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:26.400
contribute to the blockchain the growing popularity of this type of crypto is

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:31.280
already causing a surge in demand in china with miners buying high capacity

00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:35.040
hard drives on mass and price increases are expected to follow in the near

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:39.759
future so maybe next year you'll finally be able to run your steam games

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:44.240
but have nowhere to store them to bring back cd-roms baby

00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:48.320
blue phone storage no

00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:51.920
that's too slow it's emmc it's a different thing altogether

00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:55.840
of course brands are still trying to take measures to stop crypto related

00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:59.280
product shortages and it looks like NVIDIA is going to be doubling down on

00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:03.439
their efforts as team green is reportedly going to be releasing a fully

00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:06.880
refreshed rtx 30 series stack with mining limiters restricting the ability

00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:11.440
of users to mine ethereum and other popular cryptocurrencies allegedly it's

00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:14.959
unhackable this requires both hardware and software support so you should be

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

00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:23.280
course if you're just trying to game this is probably good news for you

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:27.760
and there are always other ways to earn passive income like buying some crypto

00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:32.239
doge and now it looks like it's time for the

00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:36.400
quick bits thank you john for scripting this in the drop sennheiser hd6xx

00:02:34.720 --> 00:02:40.560
headphones are what we're talking about today they're one of drop's all-time

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:44.720
best sellers with over 60 000 sold the driver and sound structure compared to

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:49.440
the hd650 is completely unchanged and it delivers balanced mid-range and a

00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:52.720
natural sounding bass response as well they've included a detachable six foot

00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:57.280
cable instead of a 10 foot based on community feedback along with a 1 8 inch

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

00:02:58.959 --> 00:03:03.920
quarter inch adapter as well and it comes with sennheiser's long-term

00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:08.720
support click the link below to join the drop today riley didn't write a quick

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

00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:16.080
3080 ti has been a topic of discussion for several months now and it looks like

00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:19.840
they're finally making their way to retailers a box of the new cards was

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:23.760
spotted in hong kong this weekend so hopefully we'll see them soon as there's

00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:27.599
a pretty large gap both in price and performance between the 3080 and 3090

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

00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:35.040
us that actually makes them cheap

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:40.080
i'm so so sad though that that's msrp yeah you're

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

00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:49.760
history again as the ingenuity mars a helicopter specifically built for flight

00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:53.680
on well mars ha imagine that

00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:57.439
took off and landed successfully on the red planet making it the first aircraft

00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:01.120
to complete a controlled powered flight on a world not named earth i'm sure the

00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:04.799
wright brothers would be jealous if nasa hadn't named the area wright brothers

00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:09.120
field but no word yet if nasa is planning a uh biplane flight on mars in

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

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:17.280
to do it yeah yeah this caveman technology to them two

00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:20.320
passengers in a tesla have passed away after a crash outside of houston the

00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:23.919
accident happened this weekend with a 2019 model s crashing at high speed

00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:27.280
while no one was at the wheel indicating the passengers may have been using and

00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:31.360
unfortunately misunderstanding the autopilot and or the beta full self

00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:34.560
driving feature some commenters are pointing out that tesla might need to do

00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:37.840
a better job ensuring consumers know the limitations of the car's self-driving

00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:42.560
technology to avoid accidents like this in the future or at least until fully

00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:46.320
autonomous driving becomes a reality in happier news if you've been waiting for

00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:50.479
the xbox cloud gaming to hit your non-Android device your weight may be

00:04:48.320 --> 00:04:53.840
over tomorrow as some xbox game pass ultimate members will be able to play on

00:04:51.919 --> 00:04:57.360
the service on Windows and iOS instead of just on Android

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

00:04:59.520 --> 00:05:04.639
microsoft hopes to make the service available to everyone who signed up for

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

00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:16.880
that's true but you know they also had the whole

00:05:15.039 --> 00:05:21.840
negative latency thing that turned out to be pretty negative

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:23.680
and nintendo is suing bowser but believe

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

00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:33.600
we talking about the ceo of nintendo of america rather the defendant is one gary

00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:36.880
bowser what are the odds who heads a team of switch hackers that have been

00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:40.080
selling software that enables piracy given nintendo's historically

00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:44.160
heavy-handed approach towards protecting its own ip the suit isn't surprising

00:05:42.479 --> 00:05:47.919
especially as bowser has already been arrested for fraud but

00:05:45.919 --> 00:05:50.960
not for kidnapping princess peach yeah that's cause that wouldn't be fried yeah

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

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

00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:03.080
down Anthony okay bye
