thank you for coming i wanted to talk to you about your familiarity with today's
tech news frankly it's been lacking we're going to have to
catch you up let's begin wow NVIDIA is going to require laptop
manufacturers to be more transparent about just what the heck they're putting
in there oem selling notebooks with rtx 30 series graphics chips now have to
update their product pages to include clock speeds power ratings and max q
features like whisper mode and dynamic boost those sound like pokemon moves
i like it NVIDIA's move comes after a confusing news cycle that involved some
people thinking NVIDIA was killing the maxq brand until NVIDIA clarified that
the brand would live on just in a much less useful form that didn't tell
consumers anything about which gaming laptop would pwn and which one would
leave you embarrassed with no kills at all while the whole server laughed at your misfortune
that's them laughing that's the sound frames frames win games guys and it's a
one-to-one correlation speaking of frames apple's vr headset it's not
really frames refer to glasses can you refer to vr headsets as frames
it depends what they look like baby it's awful baby it's jeff whoa okay anyways a
report from the information has corroborated some of the details leaked
by bloomberg last week and added a few more the report claims that the headset
will feature dual 8k displays and more
than 12 exterior cameras for movement tracking all of this would be powered by
a new apple silicon chip more powerful than the m1 in the company's current gen
macbooks and the device would sell for 3 000 us benjamin's i learned my lesson
it's not benjamin's it's washington's it's on the one dollar bill
it just sounds way sounds way more lame
all right i don't know about all this 16k is a lot of pixels to push although
the report also claims apple's figured out a special technique for foveated
rendering that makes it possible and it seems a bit far-fetched but hey we're
also hearing that apple will soon be starting production on a self-driving
car in partnership with hyundai so maybe apple's just having a mid-life crisis
and going wild you know who knows what they're going to do they're unpredictable it's a second 8k times 2
is not 16k
moving on and in other apple news the company's current frenemy facebook has
gotten some backup in its campaign against the anti-tracking feature coming
to iOS 14. snap maker of snapchat
and unity both told their investors that the
feature which allow users to prevent apps from tracking them using a
personalized id code could cause the two companies to lose revenue within unity
pegging the shortfall at 30 million dollars annually but they also said
that's just three percent of their annual revenue snapchat they can't
afford it not at all they're being too busy making frames
spectacles the harvard business review doesn't feel bad either their analysis
showed facebook's claim that the average small business advertiser could lose 60
of their sales was based on manipulated data what
facebook would never do that they organize all my events i trust them
despite the opposition it looks like iOS's anti-tracking feature may be here
to stay according to bloomberg google is looking into implementing a very similar
feature in Android don't track me bro

the ability to measure users respiratory rate by pointing their phone's camera at
their face and chest so it can see you take breaths like the disgusting fleshy
organism you are it's all meat all the way
pixels can also measure heart rate you just have to place your finger on the
phone's camera thus ruining the thing pixels are best at which is taking
photos but what do you value more taking nice photos or not having a heart attack
can it smell my finger i wish
an eec listing has been spotted containing references to the currently
unannounced AMD rx 6700 xt which is
expected to be a mid-range card with 12 gigabytes of RAM for 1440p gaming why

to suffer i feel like a fish in a tank where people are kind of bringing in
interesting things and i'm just like and they never clean the tent
it's disgusting in here amazon is making a big deal about the amazing ai powered
camera system built into its new fleet of electric delivery vans at the same
time that everyone else is getting concerned that amazon will be driving around filming everything with said
ai-powered camera system including their drivers if the drivers yawn they'll be
told to pull over for 15 minutes which they won't do because if they don't hit
their quota they'll be whipped back at the factory by jim
