1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,000
it's time for tech news

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:13,759
you're used to the names GeForce and Radeon for high performance gaming gpus

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:18,560
but now we have a confirmed brand for Intel's challenger arc or is it a rc i

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:23,039
can't tell it's electric it's not arc but the k the other Intel repository of

5
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:27,920
CPU specs we're talking arc with a c which is the name team blue chose for

6
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:33,280
its chips using the z which is not a z it's an xe high powered GPU or zhpg are

7
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,040
you confused yet well thank you

8
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:41,879
well there's one more term to learn alchemist which is the code name for

9
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:44,320
Intel's first generation arc GPU or

10
00:00:41,879 --> 00:00:49,280
arcgpu which is expected to perform in the same range as the rtx 3070 but

11
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:53,120
probably won't because nothing can we can have nice things my own salt the

12
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:57,360
branding will be used for both desktop and laptop performance gpus which will

13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:02,000
support modern goodies like dx12 ultimate ray tracing variable rate

14
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:07,040
shading and ai driven super sampling super smash bros which sounds similar to

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,040
NVIDIA's dlss

16
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:13,439
deep learning super smash bros while we're hoping to see Intel's GPU this

17
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:18,880
year team blue is now telling us to expect them in q1 2022 because of course

18
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:23,520
they are you thought earth was done being a hell world for for once

19
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:29,439
no have you been to the interior of british columbia it's mordor

20
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:33,600
don't go there don't come here earlier this year NVIDIA launched revised

21
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:37,280
versions of their rtx 30 series gpus with their ethereum mining performance

22
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:41,520
reduced by 50 thanks to an even more unhackable

23
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:45,439
limiter well with ethereum surging lately one group of developers behind

24
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:50,479
the n and b minor program decided to make NVIDIA eat their words again nb

25
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:55,200
miner's new version boosts 30 series gpus to perform at 70 of their max

26
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:59,119
potential that's a 20 difference riley games maths

27
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,719
now weather remains financially viable to mine on these clearly not unhackable

28
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:05,439
cards will be up to the market but you think that NVIDIA and other tech

29
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:09,520
companies would stop calling things unhackable it's like telling Linus not

30
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,760
to drop something now the idea is in his head

31
00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:16,959
you've already lost don't don't pack it if there's gravity

32
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:20,800
it's droppable the boatloads of bad takes on twitter may make your head hurt

33
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:25,120
sometimes but some people are actually getting real headaches thanks to the

34
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:29,440
bird app's latest redesign the new high contrast scheme twitter is using for

35
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:33,280
visual elements like follow buttons pops so much the denizens of the site are

36
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,599
reporting eye strain and result in headaches really annoying considering

37
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:44,560
the high contrast scheme also appears in dark mode which is specifically

38
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:46,400
designed to be easier on the eyes i like

39
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:50,160
living in darkness twitter has released a statement saying that they're tweaking

40
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:54,000
the new color scheme hopefully the changes roll out to everyone soon or

41
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:58,959
discourse may devolve to the point that the only response anyone can muster is

42
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:02,000
simply tweeting ratio until they pass out that's how they go that's how i go

43
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:06,400
to sleep every night i mean unacceptable for a public utility

44
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,640
like twitter now time for the quick bits brought to you by drop and

45
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:15,360
marvel who have partnered together to bring your favorite superheroes to your

46
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:16,720
pc setup with limited edition keycaps

47
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:22,239
they don't sound like that the collection features heroes such as captain america iron man and black

48
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:26,640
panther as well as a set based on the movie avengers infinity war clearly the

49
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:30,400
best one in the series each set features heroic elements such as captain america

50
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:34,319
star logo or black panther's mask so bring out your inner hero and pre-order

51
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:41,599
your set at the link below that's my origin story keycaps made me super

52
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:43,680
quick bits you gotta do better than that

53
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:47,599
you need more than dad the us highway safety administration is not sexy but

54
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,599
they are investigating something sexy tesla cars crashing into parked

55
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:55,519
emergency vehicles ouch with 11 such incidents occurring since 2018. one

56
00:03:53,920 --> 00:04:00,000
death resulted and the investigators have already concluded tesla's autopilot

57
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:04,560
or traffic aware cruise control was enabled in all cases it seems likely

58
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,920
that tesla will be required to overhaul the way autopilot reminds the driver to

59
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,920
pay attention because it seems like right now it might be more of a

60
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:16,000
suggestion tesla hasn't yet commented but its stock is down as a result making

61
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:20,720
it a good time for a low hanging dogecoin joke new rumors are indicating

62
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:25,680
google may announce the pixel 5a as soon as tomorrow so far it looks like the

63
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:30,800
phone will essentially be a pixel 4 a5g with a significantly larger 4 680

64
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:36,560
milliamp hour battery so it could be a compelling choice if you think having to

65
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:38,400
charge your phone is a great injustice

66
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,280
and get this this phone might even have a headphone jack

67
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,800
whoa what an exciting new feature in this

68
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,360
hell world that's the point

69
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:52,320
Android 12 has a boatload of new features but there's an interesting one

70
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:57,360
that's been spotted in the latest beta called camera switches the idea is to be

71
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:01,759
able to use facial expressions to issue commands to your phone such as smiling

72
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:07,120
to open notifications or opening your mouth to scroll oh my god can you

73
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:10,520
imagine you're reading something it reads faster

74
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:17,360
it should make life easier for folks with accessibility issues or people who just want to excuse to make faces at

75
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:21,440
their phones even more than they already do that do the duck face and it takes a

76
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:25,199
picture it applies filters we've already got siri ala

77
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:28,639
and google assistant but apparently they're not enough as it looks like sony

78
00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:32,000
may be throwing its hat into the digital assistant ring with something no one

79
00:05:30,479 --> 00:05:36,080
will use the company is sending out surveys to gauge customer response to a

80
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:40,320
sonos-based smart voice control system which i'm sure millions of customers are

81
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:44,479
just itching to buy can i please have another ecosystem but the move actually

82
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:47,680
does make some sense as google and sony are currently facing off in a patent

83
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,280
lawsuit meaning sony might be keen to build its own voice assistant that isn't

84
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:54,800
reliant on google

85
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:59,039
and the next big retailer to start accepting crypto just might be the

86
00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:02,720
world's largest walmart the company is looking to hire a crypto product lead

87
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:06,720
according to its career site hopefully this means they'll take mainstream

88
00:06:04,479 --> 00:06:11,039
crypto but maybe we'll also get a great value coin that undercuts the rest of

89
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:14,160
the crypto market but with everyday low prices

90
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:18,960
distributed because everyone can afford it everyday high market cap time to

91
00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:23,039
undercut this episode by ending it come back on wednesday for more tech news and

92
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:26,319
we'll give you five free news coins we're just uh we're just starting but

93
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,759
the potential is there guys it's gonna be huge

94
00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:34,000
for ourselves we're gonna be ready to the tech news
