00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,960
tech news is best enjoyed in moderation

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:08,960
which is why we only give it to you three times per week because

3
00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:13,200
i've seen how you get what are you talking like NVIDIA inspired some hope

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:19,439
in pc gamers when rumors started swirling about the company re-releasing

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:21,199
the rtx 2060. it's an old mid-tier card

6
00:00:19,439 --> 00:00:24,800
miners wouldn't want that after all right turns out they might since

7
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:31,840
benchmarks from a hong kong-based website show that the new 12 gig version

8
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:35,440
of the card bests both the rtx 3060 and

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,960
AMD's rx 6600 xt in terms of mining

10
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:41,440
performance the card technically launched yesterday

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:45,600
but there seems to be little to no stock at retailers NVIDIA says that stock

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:49,200
should ramp up in january when the company is also rumored to officially

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:56,000
announce a number of new cards including the rtx 3050 3070 ti and then for some

14
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:57,920
reason the 30 90 ti

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,079
it's good to see NVIDIA push through this shortage and continue to provide

16
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:05,519
newer more expensive models of their cards so that we will forget about the

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,439
old msrps ubisoft is continuing their proud

18
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:13,920
tradition of boldly announcing products nobody seems to actually want their

19
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:17,280
latest innovation is ubisoft quartz which will allow players to buy equip

20
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:22,640
and sell digits which are nfts of game assets

21
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:28,960
like weapons and armor the beta will first come to ghost recon break point

22
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:30,479
with three digits a helmet gun and pants

23
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:35,920
each of which have an artificially scarce number of copies with unique

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:38,400
engraved serial numbers

25
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:43,280
while incorporating nfts and games isn't inherently stupid as rs technica points

26
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:46,079
out the way that ubisoft is doing it is

27
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:50,079
fairly stupid because ubisoft is still controlling

28
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:54,479
quartz there is literally no reason that it couldn't be rolled out using a

29
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,920
regular old centralized system i mean

30
00:01:54,479 --> 00:02:00,079
there's there's a lot of interesting crypto things happening these days like

31
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:05,040
kickstarter creating a blockchain based version of its platform but i'm sorry to

32
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,759
say that ubisoft quartz ain't one of

33
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:12,959
them who plays breakpoint anyway and discord hasn't forgotten premium

34
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:17,120
memberships because they just announced them these will allow server owners to

35
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:22,480
grant users access to their communities and even exclusive channels through

36
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,720
monthly subscriptions but how much

37
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:28,800
discord is leaving that up to the people although they suggest a minimum of three

38
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:32,640
dollars a month up to a maximum of a hundred dollars a month wow that'll be

39
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:38,800
elon server instant access to the mind of a

40
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:41,519
2000s internet troll billionaire

41
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:45,920
discord will take a 10 cut and the move is the platform's latest attempt at

42
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:49,840
monetizing their massive and worthless user base it could be useful as a way to

43
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:55,840
consolidate communities instead of sending them over patreon or hear me out

44
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:59,840
Floatplane just an idea or it could be unsuccessful i have no idea what will be

45
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:04,239
successful is the butt quacks brought to you by the drop sennheiser hd 6x

46
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:08,239
headphones they're one of drop's all-time bestsellers with over 60 000

47
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:12,720
units sold probably because they have the same awesome drivers as the hd650s

48
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:16,400
with balanced mid-range and natural sounding bass thanks to community

49
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,480
feedback they come with a detachable six foot cable instead of a silly ten foot

50
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:23,760
one along with an eighth inch plug for everyday use and a quarter inch adapter

51
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,920
for when you go pro not the brand gopro

52
00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:32,080
of course sennheiser's long-term support is included so click the link below and

53
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:36,560
join the drop today quack butts that doesn't even rhyme

54
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:40,400
in the same one day before apple would have been forced to allow developers to

55
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:46,239
include buttons to third-party payment options in iOS apps their request for a

56
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:48,640
stay on that order belay it has been

57
00:03:46,239 --> 00:03:53,680
approved by the ninth court of appeals the app store change is the only count

58
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:58,080
that epic won during their big trial of apple but it looks like they're gonna

59
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:01,200
have to keep waiting to see any fruit of their labors i hope they at least had

60
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:07,599
fun though that's what's important seemed like fun the anonymous internet network tour is having a pretty rough

61
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:12,319
time following russia's increasingly effective crackdown on the country's

62
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:16,400
tour nodes where about 15 of tour users operate wait how do we know that if it's

63
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:21,600
anonymous maybe because the sickle to that hammer

64
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:25,560
is an ongoing campaign involving a well-resourced entity running hundreds

65
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:30,320
of servers on the tor network that de-anonymizes users that connect to them

66
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:34,960
you know there's a lot of resources governments

67
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,960
yeah they're probably and elon yeah and

68
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:41,040
bill gates they're working on they got the computers speaking of elon tesla

69
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,960
vehicles used to forbid drivers and passengers from playing games on the

70
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:49,120
car's massive displays while the vehicle was in motion but a recent update lets

71
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:53,360
anyone do just that you have to dismiss a warning

72
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:58,400
window that reads playing while the car is in motion is only for passengers and

73
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:03,680
that's it so no playing in the driver's seat while

74
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:08,800
you're in self-driving mode got it i promise you won't do it very dangerous

75
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:13,440
okay anyways the u.s national highway traffic safety administration is

76
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:16,800
discussing the update with tesla so hopefully between the two of them they

77
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:21,120
can get this sorted out after adding support for GeForce now to

78
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:25,680
their new tv lineup lg has now added google stadia as well meaning that

79
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:29,840
owners of new lg tvs have two cloud gaming options ready to go without

80
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:34,720
needing any additional hardware i mean they'll also need a controller because

81
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:38,800
the touch control experience probably isn't amazing

82
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:44,160
um actually q stadia fans in the comments no no it's great i'm gonna i'm

83
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,320
gonna dislike your video go ahead

84
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:50,960
and oppo has given us a sneak peek at a prototype smartphone with a retracting

85
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:56,800
camera but instead of the selfie cam seen in other models this one is a rear

86
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:59,199
camera which extends to

87
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:05,800
increase image quality or zoom capability frankly i don't care because

88
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:05,800
it looks cool and i want to play with it

89
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,720
that's really good you'll have to come back on friday to play with more tech

90
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:14,800
news because that's all we've allotted for you today self control it's a virtue

91
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:19,120
now if you'll excuse me the entire 10 hour halo infinite campaign is waiting

92
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,919
for me 10 hours is that it what that's it ten hours eight to twelve eight to

93
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,039
twelve are you gonna get all the skulls it'll probably take me longer
