00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.960
tech news is best enjoyed in moderation

00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:08.960
which is why we only give it to you three times per week because

00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:13.200
i've seen how you get what are you talking like NVIDIA inspired some hope

00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:19.439
in pc gamers when rumors started swirling about the company re-releasing

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:21.199
the rtx 2060. it's an old mid-tier card

00:00:19.439 --> 00:00:24.800
miners wouldn't want that after all right turns out they might since

00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:31.840
benchmarks from a hong kong-based website show that the new 12 gig version

00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:35.440
of the card bests both the rtx 3060 and

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:36.960
AMD's rx 6600 xt in terms of mining

00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:41.440
performance the card technically launched yesterday

00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:45.600
but there seems to be little to no stock at retailers NVIDIA says that stock

00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:49.200
should ramp up in january when the company is also rumored to officially

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:56.000
announce a number of new cards including the rtx 3050 3070 ti and then for some

00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:57.920
reason the 30 90 ti

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:02.079
it's good to see NVIDIA push through this shortage and continue to provide

00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:05.519
newer more expensive models of their cards so that we will forget about the

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:09.439
old msrps ubisoft is continuing their proud

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:13.920
tradition of boldly announcing products nobody seems to actually want their

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:17.280
latest innovation is ubisoft quartz which will allow players to buy equip

00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:22.640
and sell digits which are nfts of game assets

00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:28.960
like weapons and armor the beta will first come to ghost recon break point

00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:30.479
with three digits a helmet gun and pants

00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:35.920
each of which have an artificially scarce number of copies with unique

00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:38.400
engraved serial numbers

00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:43.280
while incorporating nfts and games isn't inherently stupid as rs technica points

00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:46.079
out the way that ubisoft is doing it is

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:50.079
fairly stupid because ubisoft is still controlling

00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:54.479
quartz there is literally no reason that it couldn't be rolled out using a

00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:55.920
regular old centralized system i mean

00:01:54.479 --> 00:02:00.079
there's there's a lot of interesting crypto things happening these days like

00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:05.040
kickstarter creating a blockchain based version of its platform but i'm sorry to

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:07.759
say that ubisoft quartz ain't one of

00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:12.959
them who plays breakpoint anyway and discord hasn't forgotten premium

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:17.120
memberships because they just announced them these will allow server owners to

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:22.480
grant users access to their communities and even exclusive channels through

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:24.720
monthly subscriptions but how much

00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:28.800
discord is leaving that up to the people although they suggest a minimum of three

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

00:02:30.959 --> 00:02:38.800
elon server instant access to the mind of a

00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:41.519
2000s internet troll billionaire

00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:45.920
discord will take a 10 cut and the move is the platform's latest attempt at

00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:49.840
monetizing their massive and worthless user base it could be useful as a way to

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:55.840
consolidate communities instead of sending them over patreon or hear me out

00:02:52.959 --> 00:02:59.840
Floatplane just an idea or it could be unsuccessful i have no idea what will be

00:02:58.239 --> 00:03:04.239
successful is the butt quacks brought to you by the drop sennheiser hd 6x

00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:08.239
headphones they're one of drop's all-time bestsellers with over 60 000

00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:12.720
units sold probably because they have the same awesome drivers as the hd650s

00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:16.400
with balanced mid-range and natural sounding bass thanks to community

00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:20.480
feedback they come with a detachable six foot cable instead of a silly ten foot

00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:23.760
one along with an eighth inch plug for everyday use and a quarter inch adapter

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:27.920
for when you go pro not the brand gopro

00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:32.080
of course sennheiser's long-term support is included so click the link below and

00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:36.560
join the drop today quack butts that doesn't even rhyme

00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:40.400
in the same one day before apple would have been forced to allow developers to

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:46.239
include buttons to third-party payment options in iOS apps their request for a

00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:48.640
stay on that order belay it has been

00:03:46.239 --> 00:03:53.680
approved by the ninth court of appeals the app store change is the only count

00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:58.080
that epic won during their big trial of apple but it looks like they're gonna

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

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

00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:12.319
time following russia's increasingly effective crackdown on the country's

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

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:21.600
anonymous maybe because the sickle to that hammer

00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:25.560
is an ongoing campaign involving a well-resourced entity running hundreds

00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:30.320
of servers on the tor network that de-anonymizes users that connect to them

00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:34.960
you know there's a lot of resources governments

00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:36.960
yeah they're probably and elon yeah and

00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:41.040
bill gates they're working on they got the computers speaking of elon tesla

00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:44.960
vehicles used to forbid drivers and passengers from playing games on the

00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:49.120
car's massive displays while the vehicle was in motion but a recent update lets

00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:53.360
anyone do just that you have to dismiss a warning

00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:58.400
window that reads playing while the car is in motion is only for passengers and

00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:03.680
that's it so no playing in the driver's seat while

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

00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:13.440
okay anyways the u.s national highway traffic safety administration is

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:16.800
discussing the update with tesla so hopefully between the two of them they

00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:21.120
can get this sorted out after adding support for GeForce now to

00:05:18.880 --> 00:05:25.680
their new tv lineup lg has now added google stadia as well meaning that

00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:29.840
owners of new lg tvs have two cloud gaming options ready to go without

00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:34.720
needing any additional hardware i mean they'll also need a controller because

00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:38.800
the touch control experience probably isn't amazing

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

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:46.320
gonna dislike your video go ahead

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:50.960
and oppo has given us a sneak peek at a prototype smartphone with a retracting

00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:56.800
camera but instead of the selfie cam seen in other models this one is a rear

00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:59.199
camera which extends to

00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:05.800
increase image quality or zoom capability frankly i don't care because

00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.800
it looks cool and i want to play with it

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

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

00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:19.120
now if you'll excuse me the entire 10 hour halo infinite campaign is waiting

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

00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:25.039
twelve are you gonna get all the skulls it'll probably take me longer
