today's Tech news is chock full of vitamins and nutrients like a
well a potato sorry I I can't get potatoes out of my head you know you can
boil them you can mash them stick them in a stew yeah apple allegedly halted M2
Chip production for two months according to a report from Korean Outlet the elect
they claim this was due to global Max sales plummeting possibly due to getting
your partner the same card and flowers you get them for Valentine's Day every
year and not the MacBook they deserve the elect spoke to a number of companies
that are normally sent Apple silicon Wafers by tsmc for modification prior to
being installed in Macs and these firms didn't receive a single wafer all
January or February not even for Valentine's Day the LX speculates the
only explanation is that Apple halted production due to decreased demand and
not because the Silicon fairy already put thousands of processors under Tim
Cook's pillow I don't know how that works did you put money under there and
then the ferry may need to apologize to am Kona one of those wafer receiving
companies their dedicated Apple chip packaging line and sat Idol for two
months if Apple has pause production of M2 chips for MacBooks it kind of makes
sense after all their q1 2023 Mac Revenue was 29 lower than the same
quarter last year which brought in record high revenue and apple could have
sworn it was going to continue indefinitely that's so weird but neither
Apple nor tsmc have mentioned this pause so we can't really confirm the reason
for it until one of them comments or until Tim Cook complains of waking up
with terrible neck pain as a funny April Fool's gag ASUS pretended they were
trying to compete with the steam deck but because companies can't make simple
jokes anymore and instead must play some sort of non-linear four-dimensional
chess match on Twitter when the calendar strikes April 1st
actually the thing is real it's a real thing they call it the Rog Ally and I
believe them because of all the Rainbow RGB according to reports the Ally is
powered by a custom AMD SOC built on tsmc's foreign animated process and
features a 7-inch 120 hertz fhd plus
display with a peak brightness of 500 nits wow also like the Rog x13 and z13
the Ally can be paired with the XG mobile which allows it to benefit from
up to an RTX 4090 laptop GPU if you want
to spend two grand more than however
much the Ally will cost at launch at this point in the story I'm also
obligated to say that LTT does a great job discussing the Ally in today's
preview video I have to say that because Linus knows where I live and many of the
elite twitterites thought they were victims of the most elaborate April
fools prank this weekend when they got to keep their legacy check marks despite
having lost the ability to read Because Twitter's posts said they'd start
removing check marks on April 1st which
is why I'm still verified on Twitter despite practically begging for them to
get it over with please Twitter has also stopped distinguishing Twitter Blue from
Legacy verified ticks which was previously the only way to know whether
someone has an affinity for expensive stickers but the one account everyone
seemed to notice was missing a check mark was the New York Times who had
publicly stated they wouldn't be paying the one thousand dollars a month Twitter
is charging businesses for gold check mark verification they are the only
account to publicly Proclaim they won't be paying the look at me I have a fancy
sticker next to my name subscription LeBron James said the same thing yet he
still has a blue check mark probably because he's a basketball player and not
a publication that has done horrible things like quoting words spoken by Elon
Musk In Articles and such now it's time for quick bits brought to you by see

NVIDIA's RTX 4070 may be launching relatively soon if listings spotted on
manufacturer websites are anything to go by and not a psychological trick played
on our minds by chibi Jensen Juan the leak suggests the cards could launch
with an MSRP of 599 us which is
reasonable I mean it's a hundred bucks more than the 3070s MSRP but that card
launched two and a half years ago which is before every company decided that
pretty much everything is at least a hundred dollars too cheap how are CEOs
supposed to retire early Germany may be considering joining Italy's temporary
ban on Chachi BT Regulators in multiple
European countries are following up with the Italians on their findings but
Germany's data security commissioner has stated outright that Germany May ban
Chachi BT on the same grounds as Italy no word yet on whether Japan will be
getting in on the action come on Japan get the band back together don't worry
about what happened last time it's
fine it's been a while NASA has announced the four astronauts that will
be flying around the Moon next year in what will be the first time anyone has
bothered to visit the poor thing in over 50 years how do you think the moon feels
the space agency is knocking out some World firsts with their Crew lineup we
got the first woman to visit the moon the first person of color and even more
amazingly the first Canadian astronaut to visit the moon will be on the crew we
finally a win for the little guy at least in terms of population to area
ratio we have there's hardly anybody who lives here he is the tallest ones that
kind of makes sense Nintendo has finally announced the new company it created
with Japanese mobile firm DNA who Nintendo previously partnered with on a
number of mobile games the new joint venture is called Nintendo systems okay
probably because Nintendo owns 80 of the company since its unclear weather DNA
also has a popular Italian plumber mascot we we're not sure we we are
looking into that but what they do have is the goal of developing and operating
systems related to the digital part of Nintendo's business they also have a
very pretty website it's nice and singer Robin Thicke might be the reason why
we'll never see a worldwide release of Mother 3 the Final installment of the
series known as Earthbound in the west according to lawyer slash YouTuber Moon
the 2006 Japan exclusive game contains
too many musical references to bands like the Beatles I mean there's a bat
enemy with a light Motif similar to the opening theme of the 1960s Batman TV
series back to Robin Thicke though he and
Pharrell Williams were found guilty of copyright infringement because their
2013 song Blurred Lines sounded like Marvin Gaye's 1977 single Gotta Give It
Up So Nintendo's scared of being sued into Oblivion if they try to localize it
and this is why we can't have nice things literally this this this is the
reason but you can have nice things if you only just come back on Wednesday for
more Tech news it's so the things we have for you are so nice
everything
