tech news is best enjoyed in moderation
which is why we only give it to you three times per week because
i've seen how you get what are you talking like NVIDIA inspired some hope
in pc gamers when rumors started swirling about the company re-releasing
the rtx 2060. it's an old mid-tier card
miners wouldn't want that after all right turns out they might since
benchmarks from a hong kong-based website show that the new 12 gig version
of the card bests both the rtx 3060 and
AMD's rx 6600 xt in terms of mining
performance the card technically launched yesterday
but there seems to be little to no stock at retailers NVIDIA says that stock
should ramp up in january when the company is also rumored to officially
announce a number of new cards including the rtx 3050 3070 ti and then for some
reason the 30 90 ti
it's good to see NVIDIA push through this shortage and continue to provide
newer more expensive models of their cards so that we will forget about the
old msrps ubisoft is continuing their proud
tradition of boldly announcing products nobody seems to actually want their
latest innovation is ubisoft quartz which will allow players to buy equip
and sell digits which are nfts of game assets
like weapons and armor the beta will first come to ghost recon break point
with three digits a helmet gun and pants
each of which have an artificially scarce number of copies with unique
engraved serial numbers
while incorporating nfts and games isn't inherently stupid as rs technica points
out the way that ubisoft is doing it is
fairly stupid because ubisoft is still controlling
quartz there is literally no reason that it couldn't be rolled out using a
regular old centralized system i mean
there's there's a lot of interesting crypto things happening these days like
kickstarter creating a blockchain based version of its platform but i'm sorry to
say that ubisoft quartz ain't one of
them who plays breakpoint anyway and discord hasn't forgotten premium
memberships because they just announced them these will allow server owners to
grant users access to their communities and even exclusive channels through
monthly subscriptions but how much
discord is leaving that up to the people although they suggest a minimum of three
dollars a month up to a maximum of a hundred dollars a month wow that'll be
elon server instant access to the mind of a
2000s internet troll billionaire
discord will take a 10 cut and the move is the platform's latest attempt at
monetizing their massive and worthless user base it could be useful as a way to
consolidate communities instead of sending them over patreon or hear me out
Floatplane just an idea or it could be unsuccessful i have no idea what will be
successful is the butt quacks brought to you by the drop sennheiser hd 6x
headphones they're one of drop's all-time bestsellers with over 60 000
units sold probably because they have the same awesome drivers as the hd650s
with balanced mid-range and natural sounding bass thanks to community
feedback they come with a detachable six foot cable instead of a silly ten foot
one along with an eighth inch plug for everyday use and a quarter inch adapter
for when you go pro not the brand gopro
of course sennheiser's long-term support is included so click the link below and
join the drop today quack butts that doesn't even rhyme
in the same one day before apple would have been forced to allow developers to
include buttons to third-party payment options in iOS apps their request for a
stay on that order belay it has been
approved by the ninth court of appeals the app store change is the only count
that epic won during their big trial of apple but it looks like they're gonna
have to keep waiting to see any fruit of their labors i hope they at least had
fun though that's what's important seemed like fun the anonymous internet network tour is having a pretty rough
time following russia's increasingly effective crackdown on the country's
tour nodes where about 15 of tour users operate wait how do we know that if it's
anonymous maybe because the sickle to that hammer
is an ongoing campaign involving a well-resourced entity running hundreds
of servers on the tor network that de-anonymizes users that connect to them
you know there's a lot of resources governments
yeah they're probably and elon yeah and
bill gates they're working on they got the computers speaking of elon tesla
vehicles used to forbid drivers and passengers from playing games on the
car's massive displays while the vehicle was in motion but a recent update lets
anyone do just that you have to dismiss a warning
window that reads playing while the car is in motion is only for passengers and
that's it so no playing in the driver's seat while
you're in self-driving mode got it i promise you won't do it very dangerous
okay anyways the u.s national highway traffic safety administration is
discussing the update with tesla so hopefully between the two of them they
can get this sorted out after adding support for GeForce now to
their new tv lineup lg has now added google stadia as well meaning that
owners of new lg tvs have two cloud gaming options ready to go without
needing any additional hardware i mean they'll also need a controller because
the touch control experience probably isn't amazing
um actually q stadia fans in the comments no no it's great i'm gonna i'm
gonna dislike your video go ahead
and oppo has given us a sneak peek at a prototype smartphone with a retracting
camera but instead of the selfie cam seen in other models this one is a rear
camera which extends to
increase image quality or zoom capability frankly i don't care because
it looks cool and i want to play with it
that's really good you'll have to come back on friday to play with more tech
news because that's all we've allotted for you today self control it's a virtue
now if you'll excuse me the entire 10 hour halo infinite campaign is waiting
for me 10 hours is that it what that's it ten hours eight to twelve eight to
twelve are you gonna get all the skulls it'll probably take me longer
