00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.120
hello everyone and welcome to techlink your source for the tech news i'm james

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:09.120
stribe we begin today with browsers

00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:13.840
right as they release their 90th version firefox has gotten edged off its podium

00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:17.680
place in the never ending browser wars by microsoft edge no best see what we

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:25.119
did there according to the latest figures published by statcounter microsoft edge accounted for

00:00:22.119 --> 00:00:27.279
3.4 percent of web traffic making it the

00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:32.239
third most used browser firefox which used to hold that position unfortunately

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:33.520
only accounted for 3.29

00:00:32.239 --> 00:00:37.600
this improvement can be attributed to the fact that microsoft rebuilt the

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:41.600
browser using chromium making it work well enough for most users and then of

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:44.960
course making it the default of defaults in Windows you know the pop-ups i'm

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:48.719
talking about if my poor mother-in-law she just

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:52.399
but it says i'm gonna be less productive if i don't keep it

00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:56.399
i know it's really asking me are you sure that actually works on her if

00:00:54.320 --> 00:01:00.239
firefox wants to get back on podium its users better band together to up their

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:04.159
traffic and install on friends and families computers because nipping at

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:08.799
their toes for fourth place is the samsung internet browser

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:12.479
and tsmc has found a way to make your chips cooler than ever that's right

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:16.720
researchers have figured out that they should be water cooling silicon directly

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:21.439
in a presentation given at the vlsi symposium the researchers found that

00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:23.600
they could dissipate up to 2 600 watts

00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:27.680
of heat with the methods they tried using a thermal test device to simulate

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:32.240
a hot processor the researchers tested three methods of cooling two have the

00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:36.799
water channels etched into a silicon lid with one using a silicon oxide fusion

00:01:34.720 --> 00:01:40.320
and the other a liquid metal to serve as a thermal interface material these

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:45.520
performed well but not as well as when the water channels were etched directly

00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:49.119
on heat generating silicon itself the how of implementing such an exotic

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:53.200
cooling solution in the mainstream will still need to be worked out but such

00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:59.200
solutions could help maintain the precepts of moore's law even more

00:01:56.479 --> 00:02:03.439
or maybe not in a blog post published by the director of technology at ARM rob

00:02:01.600 --> 00:02:07.360
aitken posits that while performance has been increasing while transistors have

00:02:05.119 --> 00:02:11.200
been shrinking we are reaching the physical limits of what we can do with

00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:15.200
that benchmark taking energy consumption and its impact on climate change into

00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:19.680
consideration it can suggest we adopt kumi's law which describes the trend in

00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:23.200
the number of computations per joule of dissipated energy he argues that this

00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:27.360
would work better with the way that consumers use technology today where

00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:30.879
battery life and efficiency is more important than gross power alone

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

00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:38.959
silicon which was done because performance for what improvements have

00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:44.080
been slowing with other architectures and they love to keep things thin right

00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:46.400
jonathan horst yes is that you yes mac

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:50.319
address baby subscribe it can also pause us the future of technology that's so

00:02:48.160 --> 00:02:54.480
low powered it can harvest energy from the environment around it like how an

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

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

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

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:09.599
bits are brought to you by wondershare pdf element pdf element is the

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

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

00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:52.560
installed on your computer you can now use it online microsoft unveiled Windows

00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:56.239
365 a cloud pc service aimed at businesses who don't want to deal with

00:03:54.239 --> 00:03:59.840
the hassle of managing multiple Windows installations spread on multiple pieces

00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:03.599
of hardware service builds on microsoft's azure virtual desktop

00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:09.519
service with installations configurable up to eight CPU cores 16 gigabytes of

00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:11.120
RAM and 512 gigabytes of storage when it

00:04:09.519 --> 00:04:14.400
launches on august 1st it'll be yet another form of computing that's been

00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:19.600
pushed to the cloud don't they know i need a computer to run this

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

00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:27.440
about apple has quietly launched their latest

00:04:24.880 --> 00:04:33.360
first party mag safe accessory a battery pack the 99 accessory will let iphone 12

00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:37.759
users top up their phones on the go while it pops in easily throughput is

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

00:04:39.520 --> 00:04:44.560
charge the phone at full 15 watt mag save speeds

00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:49.919
cooler still is that the battery pack supports reverse charging so if your

00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:54.160
phone is plugged into carplay you can still send juice to the pack for later

00:04:52.400 --> 00:04:59.199
that is actually pretty cool power is meant to be shared jeff bezos

00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:02.880
do you hate buying stuff all at once well well according to bloomberg apple

00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:07.520
is reportedly working with goldman sachs to create an apple pay in four service

00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:11.360
similar to paypal's paying for and klarna the service will let you spread

00:05:09.440 --> 00:05:18.080
the large cost of a good between four interest repayments over two weeks just

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:19.919
three easy payments of 29.99

00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:25.120
or you can pay in installments with interest over several months this is

00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:27.600
just seems like like servitude

00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:31.840
late stage capitalism apple owns you and your data with the ever increasing cost

00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:34.800
of devices and goods yes more debt is the answer apple thank you why can't

00:05:33.520 --> 00:05:41.440
apple just make hardware and software and just stop the saga of whoa for

00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:44.080
cyberpunk 2077 has become a saga of whoa

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

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

00:05:49.919 --> 00:05:56.960
milestone after being available for just 10 days it's clear the version 1.23

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

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

00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:06.960
it's the only new game for that 20 year old console that's probably

00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:12.560
what's happening here just kidding there's more ps4 news that's right your

00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:14.560
ps4 can now mine cryptocurrency a crypto

00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:19.280
mining farm in the ukraine was rated and shut down after it was found to be

00:06:15.919 --> 00:06:21.120
stealing over 250 000 worth of

00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:25.280
electricity from the grid the security service of ukraine complicated over five

00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:30.400
thousand gaming related devices most of which appear to be ps4 pros lined neatly

00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:33.600
on shelves in a warehouse why couldn't all crypto miners use old ps4s instead

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.600
of all the good gpus that they took from us i don't know

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

00:06:39.520 --> 00:06:44.240
back on friday for more tech news and also more people standing in front of

00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:48.280
the camera it's not going to be me probably someone else bye
