00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,120
hello everyone and welcome to techlink your source for the tech news i'm james

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:09,120
stribe we begin today with browsers

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:13,840
right as they release their 90th version firefox has gotten edged off its podium

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:17,680
place in the never ending browser wars by microsoft edge no best see what we

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:25,119
did there according to the latest figures published by statcounter microsoft edge accounted for

6
00:00:22,119 --> 00:00:27,279
3.4 percent of web traffic making it the

7
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:32,239
third most used browser firefox which used to hold that position unfortunately

8
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,520
only accounted for 3.29

9
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:37,600
this improvement can be attributed to the fact that microsoft rebuilt the

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:41,600
browser using chromium making it work well enough for most users and then of

11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,960
course making it the default of defaults in Windows you know the pop-ups i'm

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,719
talking about if my poor mother-in-law she just

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:52,399
but it says i'm gonna be less productive if i don't keep it

14
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:56,399
i know it's really asking me are you sure that actually works on her if

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:01:00,239
firefox wants to get back on podium its users better band together to up their

16
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:04,159
traffic and install on friends and families computers because nipping at

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,799
their toes for fourth place is the samsung internet browser

18
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:12,479
and tsmc has found a way to make your chips cooler than ever that's right

19
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:16,720
researchers have figured out that they should be water cooling silicon directly

20
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:21,439
in a presentation given at the vlsi symposium the researchers found that

21
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,600
they could dissipate up to 2 600 watts

22
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:27,680
of heat with the methods they tried using a thermal test device to simulate

23
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:32,240
a hot processor the researchers tested three methods of cooling two have the

24
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:36,799
water channels etched into a silicon lid with one using a silicon oxide fusion

25
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:40,320
and the other a liquid metal to serve as a thermal interface material these

26
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:45,520
performed well but not as well as when the water channels were etched directly

27
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:49,119
on heat generating silicon itself the how of implementing such an exotic

28
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:53,200
cooling solution in the mainstream will still need to be worked out but such

29
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:59,200
solutions could help maintain the precepts of moore's law even more

30
00:01:56,479 --> 00:02:03,439
or maybe not in a blog post published by the director of technology at ARM rob

31
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:07,360
aitken posits that while performance has been increasing while transistors have

32
00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:11,200
been shrinking we are reaching the physical limits of what we can do with

33
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:15,200
that benchmark taking energy consumption and its impact on climate change into

34
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:19,680
consideration it can suggest we adopt kumi's law which describes the trend in

35
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:23,200
the number of computations per joule of dissipated energy he argues that this

36
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:27,360
would work better with the way that consumers use technology today where

37
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:30,879
battery life and efficiency is more important than gross power alone

38
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:35,120
especially in your phone we are already seeing the fruits of this focus with apple's transition to its own ARM-based

39
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:38,959
silicon which was done because performance for what improvements have

40
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:44,080
been slowing with other architectures and they love to keep things thin right

41
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,400
jonathan horst yes is that you yes mac

42
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:50,319
address baby subscribe it can also pause us the future of technology that's so

43
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:54,480
low powered it can harvest energy from the environment around it like how an

44
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:58,000
rfid chip is powered by the devices that use them i mean my mother-in-law sucks

45
00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:00,959
all the energy out of the room am i right yeah just kidding cindy i love you

46
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:05,920
so much and now here's another person don't worry i'll be right back today's quick

47
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,599
bits are brought to you by wondershare pdf element pdf element is the

55
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:43,519
this is the part where the little quip about the quick bits goes but we don't really have one so we're just gonna get

56
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:47,440
right into it just joking it's the quick bits if you don't like using Windows

57
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:52,560
installed on your computer you can now use it online microsoft unveiled Windows

58
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:56,239
365 a cloud pc service aimed at businesses who don't want to deal with

59
00:03:54,239 --> 00:03:59,840
the hassle of managing multiple Windows installations spread on multiple pieces

60
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,599
of hardware service builds on microsoft's azure virtual desktop

61
00:04:01,519 --> 00:04:09,519
service with installations configurable up to eight CPU cores 16 gigabytes of

62
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:11,120
RAM and 512 gigabytes of storage when it

63
00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:14,400
launches on august 1st it'll be yet another form of computing that's been

64
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:19,600
pushed to the cloud don't they know i need a computer to run this

65
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:22,240
oh they want me to do this on my phone Windows phones is that what this is all

66
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:27,440
about apple has quietly launched their latest

67
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:33,360
first party mag safe accessory a battery pack the 99 accessory will let iphone 12

68
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:37,759
users top up their phones on the go while it pops in easily throughput is

69
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:41,840
limited to just 5 watts but when it's plugged into a 20 watt charger it can

70
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,560
charge the phone at full 15 watt mag save speeds

71
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:49,919
cooler still is that the battery pack supports reverse charging so if your

72
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:54,160
phone is plugged into carplay you can still send juice to the pack for later

73
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:59,199
that is actually pretty cool power is meant to be shared jeff bezos

74
00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:02,880
do you hate buying stuff all at once well well according to bloomberg apple

75
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:07,520
is reportedly working with goldman sachs to create an apple pay in four service

76
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:11,360
similar to paypal's paying for and klarna the service will let you spread

77
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:18,080
the large cost of a good between four interest repayments over two weeks just

78
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,919
three easy payments of 29.99

79
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:25,120
or you can pay in installments with interest over several months this is

80
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:27,600
just seems like like servitude

81
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:31,840
late stage capitalism apple owns you and your data with the ever increasing cost

82
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,800
of devices and goods yes more debt is the answer apple thank you why can't

83
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:41,440
apple just make hardware and software and just stop the saga of whoa for

84
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:44,080
cyberpunk 2077 has become a saga of whoa

85
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:47,840
despite a launch for a ps4 so bad he got kicked out of the play store cd projekt

86
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:51,919
red's game is now the top selling ps4 digital game in june and it reached that

87
00:05:49,919 --> 00:05:56,960
milestone after being available for just 10 days it's clear the version 1.23

88
00:05:54,479 --> 00:05:58,880
patch has brought the game within the i don't even what's the point of this

89
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:04,160
sound we don't even need the sentence you know what i think the real story here is

90
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,960
it's the only new game for that 20 year old console that's probably

91
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:12,560
what's happening here just kidding there's more ps4 news that's right your

92
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:14,560
ps4 can now mine cryptocurrency a crypto

93
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:19,280
mining farm in the ukraine was rated and shut down after it was found to be

94
00:06:15,919 --> 00:06:21,120
stealing over 250 000 worth of

95
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:25,280
electricity from the grid the security service of ukraine complicated over five

96
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:30,400
thousand gaming related devices most of which appear to be ps4 pros lined neatly

97
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:33,600
on shelves in a warehouse why couldn't all crypto miners use old ps4s instead

98
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,600
of all the good gpus that they took from us i don't know

99
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:41,600
apparently that's only good enough for ukraine and that's it for this episode so come

100
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,240
back on friday for more tech news and also more people standing in front of

101
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:48,280
the camera it's not going to be me probably someone else bye
