00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.000
it's time for tech news

00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:13.759
you're used to the names GeForce and Radeon for high performance gaming gpus

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

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

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

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

00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:37.040
you confused yet well thank you

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:41.879
well there's one more term to learn alchemist which is the code name for

00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:44.320
Intel's first generation arc GPU or

00:00:41.879 --> 00:00:49.280
arcgpu which is expected to perform in the same range as the rtx 3070 but

00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:53.120
probably won't because nothing can we can have nice things my own salt the

00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:57.360
branding will be used for both desktop and laptop performance gpus which will

00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:02.000
support modern goodies like dx12 ultimate ray tracing variable rate

00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:07.040
shading and ai driven super sampling super smash bros which sounds similar to

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.040
NVIDIA's dlss

00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:13.439
deep learning super smash bros while we're hoping to see Intel's GPU this

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:18.880
year team blue is now telling us to expect them in q1 2022 because of course

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:23.520
they are you thought earth was done being a hell world for for once

00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:29.439
no have you been to the interior of british columbia it's mordor

00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:33.600
don't go there don't come here earlier this year NVIDIA launched revised

00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:37.280
versions of their rtx 30 series gpus with their ethereum mining performance

00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:41.520
reduced by 50 thanks to an even more unhackable

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:45.439
limiter well with ethereum surging lately one group of developers behind

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:50.479
the n and b minor program decided to make NVIDIA eat their words again nb

00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:55.200
miner's new version boosts 30 series gpus to perform at 70 of their max

00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:59.119
potential that's a 20 difference riley games maths

00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:02.719
now weather remains financially viable to mine on these clearly not unhackable

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:05.439
cards will be up to the market but you think that NVIDIA and other tech

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:09.520
companies would stop calling things unhackable it's like telling Linus not

00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:11.760
to drop something now the idea is in his head

00:02:10.399 --> 00:02:16.959
you've already lost don't don't pack it if there's gravity

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:20.800
it's droppable the boatloads of bad takes on twitter may make your head hurt

00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:25.120
sometimes but some people are actually getting real headaches thanks to the

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:29.440
bird app's latest redesign the new high contrast scheme twitter is using for

00:02:26.959 --> 00:02:33.280
visual elements like follow buttons pops so much the denizens of the site are

00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:37.599
reporting eye strain and result in headaches really annoying considering

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:44.560
the high contrast scheme also appears in dark mode which is specifically

00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:46.400
designed to be easier on the eyes i like

00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:50.160
living in darkness twitter has released a statement saying that they're tweaking

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:54.000
the new color scheme hopefully the changes roll out to everyone soon or

00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:58.959
discourse may devolve to the point that the only response anyone can muster is

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

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:06.400
to sleep every night i mean unacceptable for a public utility

00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:10.640
like twitter now time for the quick bits brought to you by drop and

00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:15.360
marvel who have partnered together to bring your favorite superheroes to your

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:16.720
pc setup with limited edition keycaps

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

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:26.640
panther as well as a set based on the movie avengers infinity war clearly the

00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:30.400
best one in the series each set features heroic elements such as captain america

00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:34.319
star logo or black panther's mask so bring out your inner hero and pre-order

00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:41.599
your set at the link below that's my origin story keycaps made me super

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:43.680
quick bits you gotta do better than that

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:47.599
you need more than dad the us highway safety administration is not sexy but

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:51.599
they are investigating something sexy tesla cars crashing into parked

00:03:49.519 --> 00:03:55.519
emergency vehicles ouch with 11 such incidents occurring since 2018. one

00:03:53.920 --> 00:04:00.000
death resulted and the investigators have already concluded tesla's autopilot

00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:04.560
or traffic aware cruise control was enabled in all cases it seems likely

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:07.920
that tesla will be required to overhaul the way autopilot reminds the driver to

00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:11.920
pay attention because it seems like right now it might be more of a

00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:16.000
suggestion tesla hasn't yet commented but its stock is down as a result making

00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:20.720
it a good time for a low hanging dogecoin joke new rumors are indicating

00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:25.680
google may announce the pixel 5a as soon as tomorrow so far it looks like the

00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:30.800
phone will essentially be a pixel 4 a5g with a significantly larger 4 680

00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:36.560
milliamp hour battery so it could be a compelling choice if you think having to

00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:38.400
charge your phone is a great injustice

00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:41.280
and get this this phone might even have a headphone jack

00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:44.800
whoa what an exciting new feature in this

00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:47.360
hell world that's the point

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:52.320
Android 12 has a boatload of new features but there's an interesting one

00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:57.360
that's been spotted in the latest beta called camera switches the idea is to be

00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:01.759
able to use facial expressions to issue commands to your phone such as smiling

00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:07.120
to open notifications or opening your mouth to scroll oh my god can you

00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:10.520
imagine you're reading something it reads faster

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

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

00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:25.199
picture it applies filters we've already got siri ala

00:05:23.280 --> 00:05:28.639
and google assistant but apparently they're not enough as it looks like sony

00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:32.000
may be throwing its hat into the digital assistant ring with something no one

00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:36.080
will use the company is sending out surveys to gauge customer response to a

00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:40.320
sonos-based smart voice control system which i'm sure millions of customers are

00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:44.479
just itching to buy can i please have another ecosystem but the move actually

00:05:42.479 --> 00:05:47.680
does make some sense as google and sony are currently facing off in a patent

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:53.280
lawsuit meaning sony might be keen to build its own voice assistant that isn't

00:05:49.520 --> 00:05:54.800
reliant on google

00:05:53.280 --> 00:05:59.039
and the next big retailer to start accepting crypto just might be the

00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:02.720
world's largest walmart the company is looking to hire a crypto product lead

00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:06.720
according to its career site hopefully this means they'll take mainstream

00:06:04.479 --> 00:06:11.039
crypto but maybe we'll also get a great value coin that undercuts the rest of

00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:14.160
the crypto market but with everyday low prices

00:06:12.400 --> 00:06:18.960
distributed because everyone can afford it everyday high market cap time to

00:06:17.039 --> 00:06:23.039
undercut this episode by ending it come back on wednesday for more tech news and

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

00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:29.759
the potential is there guys it's gonna be huge

00:06:28.479 --> 00:06:34.000
for ourselves we're gonna be ready to the tech news
