00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.920
hey here's the thing guys just because you're self-isolating doesn't mean you

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:09.599
have to be isolated from the tech news

00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:14.799
hey today we're getting a little x-rated x

00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:16.880
for xbox of course microsoft has just

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

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

00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:33.440
AMD with the CPU running at 3.8 gigahertz or 3.6 if multi-threading is

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:39.760
turned on while the ray tracing GPU will have 52 compute units and 16 gigabytes

00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:43.920
of gddr6 memory there's also a one terabyte SSD using an NVMe interface

00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:48.480
which should drastically cut down on loading times and a demo they put out

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

00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:58.320
on the xbox one x it also showed the ability to quickly suspend and swap up

00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:04.000
to five games at once because if you're not playing five games simultaneously

00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:05.760
are you even alive that's boring frankly

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:09.680
there's also a new low latency controller with an updated d-pad and

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:13.680
better ergonomics so maybe i'll finally be able to throw out my stockpile of

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

00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:22.240
a13 system on a chip impressed phone enthusiasts when it came out as it blew

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

00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:31.439
some news about the upcoming a14 which is reportedly going to break the three

00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:37.439
gigahertz barrier running at 3.1 gigahertz that is a whole 100 megahertz

00:01:34.479 --> 00:01:42.320
more than the 3 gigahertz barrier and a 400 mhz improvement over the a13 for an

00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:48.240
estimated performance improvement of around 25 in single core benchmarks and

00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:54.000
33 in multi-core ones according to geekbench 5 tests we might even find the

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:57.200
new a14 or something like it inside of

00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:59.119
some upcoming portable mac computers

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

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:08.959
x86 one from Intel or AMD coming in about a year's time which could mean

00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:13.440
improvements in battery life thermal performance and apple's giant

00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:19.680
ego profits the all apple pc think of it we did it

00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:25.040
all now everyone's staying at home for the time being meaning that gaming is

00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:27.360
experiencing a surge in popularity steam

00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:32.239
reported that it broke a record over the weekend with 20.3 million concurrent

00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:38.000
users on the service at the same time that's what concurrent

00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:43.360
means nearly six and a half million of those were actually even gaming wow

00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:46.959
to no one's surprise the most popular games involved some form of human

00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:51.680
interaction albeit over a distance with games like csgo pubg and dota 2 topping

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:57.760
the charts that's human interaction i don't know additionally call of duty's

00:02:55.440 --> 00:03:01.519
new battle royale game entitled war zone was very popular over the weekend with

00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:05.360
the game already boasting one and a half million players

00:03:02.959 --> 00:03:09.680
and with the current crisis 50 wow really oh i thought that was a decimal

00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:13.920
in there 15 million players uh well total not at the same time wow and with

00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:18.400
the current crisis steam might be in a position to break its own record again

00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:22.159
very soon so uh yay mr newell

00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:26.480
now for the mad slappers brought to you by the massdrop pc37x gaming headset a

00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:31.120
collaboration between massdrop and sennheiser it's got an open back design

00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:35.280
with drivers from the classic hd 598 and hd600 series so you know they'll sound

00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:39.519
great for both gaming and music the mic is optimized to handle pops and hisses

00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:45.120
and it even has noise cancelling and automute features along with the

00:03:41.920 --> 00:03:47.360
fantastic capability of not transmitting

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:51.760
viruses through the microphone down the cable and to your friends so check it

00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:56.480
out today at the link below on to the mad slappers microsoft teams

00:03:54.480 --> 00:04:00.799
chat app has been notorious for bugs such as inconsistent notification

00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:05.680
behavior like for me this phone doesn't get a notification this one does go

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:07.920
ahead riley try it what is that anyway

00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:12.400
today it went down completely for a couple of hours apparently the outage

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:16.720
was due to tons of folks from europe logged in at one time since so many

00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:20.959
people are working from home right now now microsoft seems to have mostly

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:25.440
resolved the issue but some folks are still having problems as of the time of

00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:30.080
writing someone should tell microsoft that they're not being much of a

00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:32.400
team player right now buzz buzz nothing

00:04:30.080 --> 00:04:36.400
oh really look at that see look teams notification no teams notification

00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:39.759
same bloody account if you're planning to visit apple store

00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:44.000
anytime soon you might be in for a wait as the company is closing every store

00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:48.080
outside of china taiwan hong kong and macau until the 27th of march for

00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:52.080
reasons that i would think are fairly obvious by now speaking of which make

00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:56.080
sure you're disinfecting your iphones especially if you need to take them into

00:04:53.840 --> 00:05:00.800
an apple store once they reopen in fact disconnect it but disconnected in fact

00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:04.880
disinfect it when you get it back too because even geniuses can forget to wash

00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:09.840
their hands according to a cnet report there's been

00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:12.000
a rash of people falsely accusing uber

00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:15.039
drivers of driving under the influence in order to get free rides as

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:18.639
compensation apparently uber usually sides with

00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:22.479
customers to prevent getting in hot water with state regulators for not

00:05:20.479 --> 00:05:27.520
investigating claims of duis closely enough so the system is ripe for abuse

00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:32.000
some drivers are even resorting to buying their own dash cams and paying

00:05:29.919 --> 00:05:34.720
for toxicology tests to prove their innocence

00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:39.199
guys come on just pay for your ride a major

00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:43.440
manufacturer of tips for cable boxes is trying to sue netflix for cutting into

00:05:41.280 --> 00:05:48.479
its bottom line wow broadcom is accusing netflix of patent

00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:53.520
infringement which they say has resulted in more people choosing netflix over

00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:57.759
cable companies with broadcom powered set-top boxes or hey maybe it's that

00:05:56.400 --> 00:06:02.000
people don't want to pay a hundred dollars a month for a ton of channels

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

00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:11.199
face after it turns out a recent service interruption was caused by some wheels

00:06:08.479 --> 00:06:15.039
on one of its server racks that gave out the server rack in question remained

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:19.440
tilted for a while after the wheels collapsed causing the cpus to overheat

00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:23.280
and throttle it's funny how the simplest things can bring down some of our most

00:06:21.039 --> 00:06:27.520
amazing technologies as anyone who's ever spilled water on a laptop or thrown

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

00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:33.440
wednesday because quite frankly what else do you have to

00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:37.440
do hey youtube got em hey

00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:44.730
don't touch your eyes go scrub your eyes out let's hope
