00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:13.120
who watches the olympics you didn't even know what that was a reference to let's talk about tech news the real athletes

00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:19.680
are the cs go pros and they're about to get a nice gift from lg and au optronics

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:21.920
in the form of 480 hertz gaming monitors

00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:27.199
we've had 360hz panels for some time now but i'm so bored of those my eyes need

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:28.880
more frames you know that's what

00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:32.559
give me some more now don't expect super high resolutions with these first 480

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:36.000
hertz models as the high refresh rates come at the cost of pixel density so for

00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:39.840
the initial production we're looking at gaming monitors with 1080p native

00:00:38.239 --> 00:00:43.280
resolution what size that has nothing to do with

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:46.719
pixel density riley there's

00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:49.920
however it looks like they will have HDR 400 support if you want a more

00:00:48.239 --> 00:00:53.760
entry-level high dynamic range experience and we're probably not going

00:00:51.440 --> 00:00:58.239
to see these on the market until 2023 so your junky old 240 hertz model will have

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:01.680
to tide you over until then which is so cringe

00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:05.119
sometimes technology gets better Intel has said that the chip shortage

00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:09.360
unfortunately isn't going away anytime soon in their second quarter earnings

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:13.040
report Intel cfo predicted chips will be in short supply yet again during the

00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:16.880
third quarter of this year at least for the individual pc market though things

00:01:15.119 --> 00:01:21.119
should get better for their cloud and enterprise customers which i know is

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:25.600
just thrilling news for those of you at home i'm going into stasis

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:29.280
wake me up when there's chips oh hi Linus

00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:31.840
Linus is really thrilled about today's tech news

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:40.479
anyhow it looks like the issue is that certain substrates used in chip production are

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:44.799
themselves facing a supply shortage and enterprise-grade xeon chips which are

00:01:43.119 --> 00:01:48.960
physically larger are going to be eating up a good amount of what is available

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:53.040
leaving little left over for consumer grade cpus

00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:57.439
we forgot to stock up on the substrates what you thought the night was darkest

00:01:54.720 --> 00:02:02.399
before the dawn you sweet summer child the night just keeps getting darker

00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:05.680
there's plenty of excitement around the launch of valve's steam deck but

00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:10.080
consumers have been wondering how demanding aaa titles will run on a

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:13.280
handheld like i don't know if that thing can do 4k

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:17.360
which is fine because the steam deck screen is 720p and one of valve's coders

00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:21.680
said on twitter that their minimum baseline was 30 frames per second the

00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:25.840
game's valve has tested have reportedly at least met that standard if not

00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:29.200
exceeded it while 30 frames per second might not sound like much to those of

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:33.200
you with high-end gpus in your desktop or laptop it's still perfectly playable

00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:37.440
assuming you're a lover of cinema as an art form as i am subscribe to carpool

00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:40.000
critics it's a movie podcast it is it'll be called something else soon did you

a leak concerning NVIDIA's next gen 40 series gpus makes it look like team

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:31.040
green is switching their manufacturer from samsung to tsmc with the new gpus

00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:34.720
being made on the 5 nanometer process wow performance and power efficiency

00:03:32.959 --> 00:03:39.440
should be very high when those products launch do you think there will be enough

00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:41.280
to go around james

00:03:39.440 --> 00:03:45.760
crypto has taken a beating lately but there's a sudden surge in prices thanks

00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:50.400
to amazon a job posting indicates that the tech giant wants someone to develop

00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:55.040
digital currency and blockchain strategy on the payments acceptance and

00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:59.439
experience team and amazon actually did confirm they want to accept crypto in

00:03:56.799 --> 00:04:03.920
the future so maybe don't panic sell all your dogecoin just yet this is not

00:04:02.239 --> 00:04:09.120
investment advice but sell your doge point china thinks it has at least a partial

00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:14.159
solution to the issue of nuclear reactor safety as the nation has reportedly

00:04:10.799 --> 00:04:17.680
developed a reactor that uses thorium

00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:19.680
instead of the more traditional uranium

00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:23.840
not only does thorium's nuclear waste have a much shorter half-life the

00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:28.400
reactor design includes molten salt that can seal off any leaks not to mention

00:04:26.080 --> 00:04:33.759
it's much harder to use thorium for uh non-peaceful applications it's a very

00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:37.360
very peaceful radioactive isotope it's uh you could say it's a pacifist if you

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:42.080
own an apple watch be on the lookout for the iOS 14.7.1 update which should be

00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:46.800
getting pushed out to your iphones and ipads right now it fixes a bug in

00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:50.800
version 14.7 that completely broke the unlock with iphone feature meaning you'd

00:04:48.479 --> 00:04:55.360
have to unlock the watch itself in order to use it it also patches a security

00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:59.440
hole which seems more important to me so make sure you apply the update to avoid

00:04:56.960 --> 00:05:03.680
this incredibly major inconvenience is that sarcasm

00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:08.320
blindness agrees and speaking of iphones it looks like the iphone 14 is actually

00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:12.639
going to be made of titanium dennis is shocked by this no that's eon

00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:16.400
he's bored the information comes from an investor note that says the change will

00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:19.919
be coming next year so we won't see it in the iphone 13. titanium has the

00:05:18.479 --> 00:05:23.840
advantage of being more durable and scratch resistant than stainless steel

00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:28.080
which has been used in previous iphones apparently the iphone 14 will represent

00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:31.440
a major redesign in other ways as well but i'll be impressed when we see a

00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:35.039
phone that somehow features a way to get out of those outrageous door dash

00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:38.560
service fees i love what i have to read things that

00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:42.720
are very specific to john and have nothing to do with me i have an Android

00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:46.960
Linus stop i'm doing fine and it's time to end this outrageous episode come back

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:51.360
on wednesday for more at tech news now if you'll excuse me i'm late for the

00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:54.440
olympics skateboarding match the oops
