1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,920
hey here's the thing guys just because you're self-isolating doesn't mean you

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:09,599
have to be isolated from the tech news

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:14,799
hey today we're getting a little x-rated x

4
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:16,880
for xbox of course microsoft has just

5
00:00:14,799 --> 00:00:22,160
released a whole bunch of specs for the new xbox series x so let's jump right in

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:27,519
you'll find a 7 nanometer soc based on the zen 2 and rdna 2 architectures from

7
00:00:25,039 --> 00:00:33,440
AMD with the CPU running at 3.8 gigahertz or 3.6 if multi-threading is

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:39,760
turned on while the ray tracing GPU will have 52 compute units and 16 gigabytes

9
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:43,920
of gddr6 memory there's also a one terabyte SSD using an NVMe interface

10
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:48,480
which should drastically cut down on loading times and a demo they put out

11
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:53,199
today had state of decay 2 loading in about one third of the time that it did

12
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:58,320
on the xbox one x it also showed the ability to quickly suspend and swap up

13
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:04,000
to five games at once because if you're not playing five games simultaneously

14
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,760
are you even alive that's boring frankly

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,680
there's also a new low latency controller with an updated d-pad and

16
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:13,680
better ergonomics so maybe i'll finally be able to throw out my stockpile of

17
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:18,479
bengay do you know what that is yeah of course i've never heard of this apple's

18
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:22,240
a13 system on a chip impressed phone enthusiasts when it came out as it blew

19
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:26,640
even the fastest Android chips at the time out of the water and now we've got

20
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:31,439
some news about the upcoming a14 which is reportedly going to break the three

21
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:37,439
gigahertz barrier running at 3.1 gigahertz that is a whole 100 megahertz

22
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:42,320
more than the 3 gigahertz barrier and a 400 mhz improvement over the a13 for an

23
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:48,240
estimated performance improvement of around 25 in single core benchmarks and

24
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:54,000
33 in multi-core ones according to geekbench 5 tests we might even find the

25
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:57,200
new a14 or something like it inside of

26
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,119
some upcoming portable mac computers

27
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:04,960
there have already been reports of a new mac with an ARM based CPU instead of an

28
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,959
x86 one from Intel or AMD coming in about a year's time which could mean

29
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:13,440
improvements in battery life thermal performance and apple's giant

30
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:19,680
ego profits the all apple pc think of it we did it

31
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:25,040
all now everyone's staying at home for the time being meaning that gaming is

32
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:27,360
experiencing a surge in popularity steam

33
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:32,239

34
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:38,000
users on the service at the same time that's what concurrent

35
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:43,360
means nearly six and a half million of those were actually even gaming wow

36
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:46,959
to no one's surprise the most popular games involved some form of human

37
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:51,680
interaction albeit over a distance with games like csgo pubg and dota 2 topping

38
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:57,760
the charts that's human interaction i don't know additionally call of duty's

39
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,519
new battle royale game entitled war zone was very popular over the weekend with

40
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:05,360
the game already boasting one and a half million players

41
00:03:02,959 --> 00:03:09,680

in there 15 million players uh well total not at the same time wow and with

43
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:18,400

00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:22,159
very soon so uh yay mr newell

45
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,480
now for the mad slappers brought to you by the massdrop pc37x gaming headset a

46
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:31,120
collaboration between massdrop and sennheiser it's got an open back design

47
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:35,280
with drivers from the classic hd 598 and hd600 series so you know they'll sound

48
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:39,519
great for both gaming and music the mic is optimized to handle pops and hisses

49
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:45,120
and it even has noise cancelling and automute features along with the

50
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:47,360
fantastic capability of not transmitting

51
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:51,760
viruses through the microphone down the cable and to your friends so check it

52
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:56,480
out today at the link below on to the mad slappers microsoft teams

53
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:00,799
chat app has been notorious for bugs such as inconsistent notification

54
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:05,680
behavior like for me this phone doesn't get a notification this one does go

55
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:07,920
ahead riley try it what is that anyway

56
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:12,400
today it went down completely for a couple of hours apparently the outage

57
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:16,720
was due to tons of folks from europe logged in at one time since so many

58
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:20,959
people are working from home right now now microsoft seems to have mostly

59
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:25,440
resolved the issue but some folks are still having problems as of the time of

60
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:30,080
writing someone should tell microsoft that they're not being much of a

61
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:32,400
team player right now buzz buzz nothing

62
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:36,400
oh really look at that see look teams notification no teams notification

63
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,759
same bloody account if you're planning to visit apple store

64
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:44,000
anytime soon you might be in for a wait as the company is closing every store

65
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:48,080
outside of china taiwan hong kong and macau until the 27th of march for

66
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:52,080
reasons that i would think are fairly obvious by now speaking of which make

67
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:56,080
sure you're disinfecting your iphones especially if you need to take them into

68
00:04:53,840 --> 00:05:00,800
an apple store once they reopen in fact disconnect it but disconnected in fact

69
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:04,880
disinfect it when you get it back too because even geniuses can forget to wash

70
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:09,840
their hands according to a cnet report there's been

71
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:12,000
a rash of people falsely accusing uber

72
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:15,039
drivers of driving under the influence in order to get free rides as

73
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,639
compensation apparently uber usually sides with

74
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:22,479
customers to prevent getting in hot water with state regulators for not

75
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:27,520
investigating claims of duis closely enough so the system is ripe for abuse

76
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:32,000
some drivers are even resorting to buying their own dash cams and paying

77
00:05:29,919 --> 00:05:34,720
for toxicology tests to prove their innocence

78
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:39,199
guys come on just pay for your ride a major

79
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:43,440
manufacturer of tips for cable boxes is trying to sue netflix for cutting into

80
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:48,479
its bottom line wow broadcom is accusing netflix of patent

81
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:53,520
infringement which they say has resulted in more people choosing netflix over

82
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:57,759
cable companies with broadcom powered set-top boxes or hey maybe it's that

83
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:02,000
people don't want to pay a hundred dollars a month for a ton of channels

84
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:05,680
they don't want what a freaking idea google has a little bit of egg on their

85
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:11,199
face after it turns out a recent service interruption was caused by some wheels

86
00:06:08,479 --> 00:06:15,039
on one of its server racks that gave out the server rack in question remained

87
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:19,440
tilted for a while after the wheels collapsed causing the cpus to overheat

88
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:23,280
and throttle it's funny how the simplest things can bring down some of our most

89
00:06:21,039 --> 00:06:27,520
amazing technologies as anyone who's ever spilled water on a laptop or thrown

90
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:31,360
a usb key at a server can attest to well that's it for our show today come back

91
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:33,440
wednesday because quite frankly what else do you have to

92
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,440
do hey youtube got em hey

93
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:44,730
don't touch your eyes go scrub your eyes out let's hope
