oh are you okay i have a bad case of
tech shock tech has overloaded my system
every year razer shows up to ces with some wacky concept that never actually
comes to market except for last year's project hazel RGB face mask which did
eventually launch as the razer zephyr minus the cool voice amplification
feature well guess what razer has now added that
in and relaunched the mask as the zephyr pro and while i
personally would have predicted low demand for such a thing the original
apparently sold out so people must be wearing them to raves yeah i see them all the time you
see them at raves riley now razer's wacky concept this year is
project sophia a modular gaming desk that would not only house swappable pc
component modules but also numerous built-in programmable displays
there's no way calling your bluff razor this ain't happening
but the razer x fossil gen 6 smart watches and the anki pro hyper sense
chair with haptic feedback synced with your games and your movies and maybe
even the RGB chroma integration with your smart home devices that's what i
want those seem real but sophia's gonna join christine on the
girls trip off the canyon party yeah
true to form sony ces conference was a bit more down to earth although the
company did confirm some details about their next gen psvr 2 headset it will
feature eye tracking and haptic feedback so when it launches by the end of 2022
playstation 5 owners can look forward to feeling some good vibrations
on their head in before vr head massage simulators
flood the playstation store
sony also unveiled an electric suv concept the vision sev which joins their
vision ev sedan from last year along
with whatever other vehicles sony's are cooking up with its new automotive focus
subsidiary sony mobility inc in their imaginary
future garage the cars are in the metaverse somewhere
and samsung is too good to announce all of its products on one day at ces
because they are the number one chai bull after all
so today we got a look at the samsung home hub a giant tablet to control your
smart home that i'm sure someone asked for
but one unexpected and welcome announcement was the samsung freestyle a
battery-powered compact projector with a built-in speaker and a light fixture
attachment so that you can hang it or mount it upside down
it's even got a cap that turns it into an RGB smart speaker when it's not being
used for projecting probably not going to cut it for my home
theater setup but look how fun it might be for the teens
think of the teens riley last but not least samsung's odyssey arc
is a massive 55-inch ultra wide curved
monitor that you can load all the animals into two by two
sorry that you can rotate vertically to become three
virtual 24 inch displays that curve
above your head you might think it's weird
and that's it but get in the holiday spirit it's ces holiday
now it's time for the butt quacks brought to you by the power supply
building experts at sea sonic if you're under 40 then they've been making power
supplies since before you were born and
if you're over 40 sorry to hear that
but you should still use sea seasonic in your next builder upgrade because they've got models with 80 plus titanium
efficiency hybrid fan control to reduce fan noise and a whopping 12 year
warranty that's right you won't have to buy another one until you're 52.
sorry to bring that up check them out at seasonic.com or at the link down below
now butt quacks aren't technically legal but the health benefits are amazing and
i feel great oh man ces is as much about fighting back an
overwhelming tide of laptops says it is about all the other wacky stuff so of
course there were brand new zen books from ASUS and thinkpads from lenovo but
the two companies also brought some weird stuff with them like the new ASUS
zenbook 17 fold which looks like a more refined OLED version of lenovo's x1 fold
from last year lenovo returned the favor and took a page from the zenbook duo
playbook to make the thinkbook plus gen 3 a 17-inch ultra wide laptop with an
8-inch display to the right of the keyboard and trackpad man
this thing is going to be great when someone competent like apple copies it
now there's a disease spreading among the tech standard organizations and it
looks like the wi-fi alliance has apparently caught the bug oh no are you
serious that's the only explanation we can come
up with for why they just announced wi-fi certified 6 release 2.
which brings support for uplink multi-user memo and better power
consumption both of which are fine it's just that the wi-fi naming scheme
just got simplified it just got
simplified we got the wi-fi for the wi-fi five the wi-fi six but then they
screwed it up with wi-fi six e and now
we're getting wi-fi six release two which won't supersede the other two but
will exist alongside them hey
look at the consoles see what they do with the numbers
just do that but not what microsoft does
what sony does the more wi-fi is the better speaking of consoles microsoft
has been caught disabling developer accounts that haven't published games on
the xbox store presumably because many emulation enthusiasts were using them to
run playstation and nintendo games on xbox consoles using homebrew software
it's weird to see microsoft clamp down on this when they enthusiastically
support backwards compatibility for the xbox i mean i knew phil spencer had an icy
heart deep below his soft teddy bear exterior
truth is i'm never hugging me him again
we probably could have seen this coming cryptocurrency mining remains a target
of european governments tackling an energy crisis and now kosovo has banned
the practice after enforcing rolling blackouts in an attempt to save power
crypto mining became very popular in the country thanks to formerly really cheap
electricity and it's still unclear just how big of an impact crypto mining has
on energy consumption worldwide but it for sure has an impact on the supply of
gpus and i need a few of those to run my giant vertical curved monitor so
thanks kosovo i need a few of them yeah i got like three battle station and hey
we got time for a classically wacky ces product cyberpower's kinetic series pc
has 18 automated triangular ports on the
front of the case that open and close depending on your airflow needs
i am not sure who if anyone was asking for the ability
to turn down their airflow but that
doesn't matter what matters is that this thing looks like a mechanical eldritch
horror that will eat your hand if you stick it in there and that my friends is what the ces
season is all about
there's so much tech news it's crazy guys so come back tomorrow to stay caught up i mean can you imagine a
company announcing something and you not knowing about it oh it's terrible what
can't have it what do you mean
