monday's here and i hope you yes you have a lot of really great
things to look forward to this week because
i just care and also because new cpus
from Intel isn't going to be one of them a recent report has indicated that there
is still a pretty big gap between the supply and the demand for Intel cpus
especially on the lower end since Intel has recently been focusing on more
powerful parts that can command larger profits meanwhile rival AMD has enjoyed
a boost in sales thanks to Intel struggles with cheap laptops helping
team red make up some ground the bigger news though is that the report also
indicates that these shortages may prompt Intel to go directly to the seven
nanometer process down the road as the company is dealing with both current gen
shortages and their long-running issues of getting 10 nanometer parts off the
assembly line Intel's current chips should be
available later on in the summer though which is the perfect season to shut
yourself indoors and play video games hey wait a second now it's no secret
that google has been trying to get their fingers into every part of the tech
industry and a new patent reveals that the rumors of google working on a game
console appear to be true
the patent is for a rather standard looking controller that bears some
resemblance to sony's dual shock with two sticks and a straight line along the
bottom of the device it didn't take long for mockups for what the finished
product might look like to make their way around on social media but there
aren't any official photos or renderings from google at this time so it might not
look as stupid as this the controller is rumored to be
a part of project yeti which everybody's talking about but no one's seen haha get
it a streaming game service that google has reportedly been building for a while
get it reports but no photos gdc is coming up later in march and we'll
hopefully get some more details then and i'm personally really looking forward to
playing search engine simulator 2019 only on gbox
and also any computer looks like NVIDIA is making good use of
the high prices they've been charging for graphics cards as team green just
spent a cool 6.9
billion dollars on melanox technologies
a firm that focuses on large-scale cloud computing although melanox isn't exactly
a household name for gamers NVIDIA is hoping that this acquisition will
bolster its presence in the enterprise market after all about one third of
NVIDIA sales are actually in the data center and server space and over 250 of
the world's fastest super computers are powered by NVIDIA and or mellanox parts
mostly the interconnects for the ladder there NVIDIA's focus on parallel
computing has led them to become a major player in the data center market though
i wonder if they persuaded melanox's executives with another rtx on
demonstration once you see those rays like you can't go back
you're like you know what forget the prequel trilogy and the original trilogy
you got raised just one ray oh
that was horrible now for the quick bit sponsored by brilliant oh wait what now
for the quack bats sponsored by brilliant
every day brilliant publishes several daily problems that provide a quick and
fascinating look into the world of math
logic science engineering or computer science not to be confused with regular
science although they are both science whether you're stuck sitting in your
carpool or you just want to learn something new every day brilliance daily
problems are a fun bite-sized way to master larger concepts by applying them
each problem comes with illustrations animations or interactive visualizations
what is the difference between an interactive visualization and an animation i don't know but it rhymes and
all the context that you need to solve the problem yourself so go to brilliant.org techlinked and finish your

do you remember adobe shockwave
shockwave that browser plug-in that powered so many of your favorite games
back in your middle school computer lab well shockwave for Windows is going to
become dead in less than a month's time with
the software giant discontinuing it on april 9th fortunately html5 has somewhat
filled in the gap and enabled us to waste time on our browsers with you know
games much more efficiently than we used to is addictinggames.com they used to have
this great game called pearl harbor and there is still like a stupid flash
game called pearl harbor i think but this one was way better you were like
this plane and you went back and forth and back and forth and you dropped your
bombs and stuff it was great so you know how NVIDIA driver updates
always come with 3d vision for some reason well
you're no longer gonna have to uncheck that little box NVIDIA has gotten the
message that no one actually cares about
desktop-based 3d because well vr exists
so the 3d vision drivers are going to be discontinued after next month now i'm
guessing that those expensive 3d glasses that you had to buy um you're probably
wondering what to do with them well imagine this for a second
deal with it sunglasses for for halloween
halloween yeah very cool now if you use tap to pay you've probably seen how it
only works up to a certain amount so some miscreant can't just read your card
without you knowing and then go and spend all your money but one bank in the
uk is trying to change all that as nat
west is building fingerprint readers into its debit cards in an attempt to
ensure that only the authorized user is
actually able to make a payment now it's only a pilot project for now as they
work out the kinks which is good because when you add a shoddy fingerprint reader
onto a tap card the time it takes to actually pay for things might make you
wish you had just stuck with cash now it's not exactly headline news when
china banned something but the communist party's most recent prohibition might
catch the eyes of streamers the government is considering a proposal to
ban anyone under 18 years old from hosting a live streamed video and
apparently it's been teenage mothers of all things that have caught the ire of
the party as some within the party have considered videos featuring them a
promotion of teen pregnancy
have babies please
what and the controversy surrounding
copyrights over fortnight dances has been put on hold i can't do it but don't
worry about it no one cares at least for now after supreme court
ruling held that if you want to sue for copyright infringement you have to
register your work with the us copyright office first and it remains an open
question as to whether the copyright office will even agree to the requests
of the actors and entertainers involved to register their dance moves as they
may not be complex enough to be recognized i think we can all agree that
alphonse's dance carlton the carlton i don't know what it
looks like but i i don't remember that show was a
long time ago even i was
you know what good enough wow and that's our show so dance your way back to this
channel on wednesday for more tech news or better yet just subscribe so you
don't have to remember that stuff who wants to remember that stuff i can't even remember like dances and stuff so
it's like
no i knew that was the floss it just wasn't a very good one
yeah backpacking
i've never been seen wearing a backpack so it couldn't be
