00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,200
Tech news. It's what happens when an idea meets a thought meets a computer

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:13,360
that can inspire a generation. Now get out there and live. Go tech. How long do

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:15,839
you spend on these? I love tech news.

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:20,000
Windows 11's launch was plagued by bugs. One of which caused performance drops on

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:24,560
Ryzen processors. And after an initial patch actually made performance worse, a

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:29,519
second patch seemed to fix the issue. Well, YouTube channel Hardware Unboxed

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:35,360
has discovered that fix only applies if you plan to never swap out your CPU. I

8
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:37,840
don't. Well, they tried. And well, the

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:41,760
front fell off. I'm using that reference again. You remember that? No. You never

10
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:46,640
watched this skit. Apparently, swapping your current AMD CPU for a different one

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:50,399
causes the L3 cache issue to return, causing significant drops in gaming

12
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:54,160
performance. The report was corroborated by PC Boutique Power GPU. And while

13
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:58,320
there hasn't been any kind of confirmation from other sources or a

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,079
response from Microsoft or AMD, I feel confident another patch is incoming that

15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:07,840
will fix the fix that fix the first fix. It's like they're coding these patches with an iix it kit. It's like typing

16
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:11,920
with the screwdrivers and figure it out. Roblox is finally back online after a

17
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,159
lengthy outage that started on Thursday night and lasted deep into Sunday,

18
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:19,920
causing many children to spiral into depression. Many people speculated that

19
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:24,320
the outage was caused because of a promotion that Roblox was doing with

20
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:27,799
burrito chain Chipotle as the promo went live only around 30 minutes before the

21
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:32,960
outage hit. Chipot Roblox issued a statement denying

22
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:37,119
the TechMax Cuisine had anything to do with this. They caused lots of issues

23
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:41,119
sometimes, but not here. Apparently, the real cause of the outage was quote

24
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:44,240
unquote growth in the number of servers in their data centers. Tried spraying it

25
00:01:43,119 --> 00:01:49,280
with server killer. It just keeps growing. It can't stop. Obviously, server maintenance is a common cause of

26
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:53,040
downtime, but it was a notably long outage for a game that has over 40

27
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:58,399
million people playing it every day. Every man, woman, and child in Canada

28
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:00,799
will eventually live on Roblox inside a

29
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:04,000
Roblox verse. If you own an EV that isn't a Tesla, you might be a little

30
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:08,479
jealous of Tesla's network of superchargers. They're so dope.

31
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:12,160
I wish I was James. Tesla's superchargers can charge you up quickly.

32
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:16,319
And frankly, they sound way cooler than like Eco Plug or whatever the SP special

33
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:20,640
parking spot is called at your local Safeway. I don't want to park there. Up

34
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:24,080
until now, you had to drive a Tesla EV in order to use superchargers. But now,

35
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:28,640
Tesla is going to start allowing other brands of EV to use them. Starting out

36
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:34,080
with 10 stations in the Netherlands, the Nether regions, the crotch. We'll let

37
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:38,959
you try it down there. You'll have to download the app and select charge your

38
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,560
inferior non-Tesla car to locate a station near you. If the pilot project

39
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,959
works out, it'll probably expand elsewhere. And if it does horribly,

40
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:50,720
well, those Dutch had it coming. Quick bits. They make the pain go away for a

41
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:54,800
little while. Apple is planning to roll out a car crash detection feature for

42
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:58,480
iPhones and Apple Watches, which will be able to automatically dial 911 even if

43
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,959
you're incapacitated. This functionality has already been around for quite a while on Google's Pixel lineup, dating

44
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:06,159
back to the Pixel 3. Really? Yeah. I didn't know that. But not everything has

45
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:10,480
to be about competition. I mean, look at the iOS app store. No competition at

46
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:14,480
all. Case Labs was a favorite among PC DIY enthusiasts for highquality custom

47
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:18,239
cooling friendly cases before they went bankrupt in 2018, but now it looks like

48
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:21,280
they're set for a comeback as the company is under new ownership. It's

49
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:27,519
unclear exactly when they'll start selling cases again, but it's great news for folks who really like aluminium and

50
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:36,080
slabs and like saying it the right way. K- slabs. OK slabs. Amazon's project

51
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:37,920
Cooper Kiper Kip sounds queepy finally

52
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:41,519
has a launch date the fourth quarter of 2022 when it'll start sending up

53
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:46,319
internet carrying satellites to compete with Elon Musk's Starlink Starlink

54
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:51,120
Starlunk Starlink already has more than 1,700 satellites in orbit but Amazon

55
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:55,840
eventually wants to get over 3,000 of its own up there over the next 10 years.

56
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:58,640
I love space junk more. I have no doubt Jeff Bezos will make it happen. He'll

57
00:03:57,519 --> 00:04:04,480
probably go up there himself to make sure everything's good. That would be cool. Careful though, space is

58
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:09,040
dangerous. He could do it though. Yeah. Hell yeah, brother. I'm wearing a cowboy

59
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:13,760
hat now. Two popular tech blogs are closing their doors for good. Hexus and

60
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:19,040
BitTech, both publications run by David Ross out of the UK, are have been used

61
00:04:16,479 --> 00:04:22,000
by us many times as sources on Techlink. The sites didn't make it clear why

62
00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:27,680
exactly they're calling it quits, but it sounds like the staff will be starting a new website, so not all will be lost for

63
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:32,160
loyal readers. from one tech news outlet to another. Let's pour one out for them.

64
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:37,759
I would It would That's for respect. It It would have been more respectful if I

65
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:39,600
actually had a RIP. Hit F12 to inspect.

66
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:45,199
And scientists have created a new so-called 5D optical storage medium that

67
00:04:42,479 --> 00:04:50,240
can hold 500 terabytes of data on a piece of glass roughly the size of a CD.

68
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:54,479
It uses nanocale dots embedded in the glass that can be manipulated with

69
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:59,199
extremely fast laser pulses. Right. Speed is somewhat slow at 230 kilobytes

70
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:03,520
per second, but the medium is supposed to last nearly 14 billion years, the age

71
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:07,759
of the Earth, baby, and tolerate temperatures up to a,000° C. So, we

72
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:13,440
should be done writing everything to it by the time the heat death of the universe happens or another Earth

73
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:17,919
develops, I guess. Is that what you're saying? Could that is that science

74
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:20,720
actually by a budding? Better end this episode before that happens, though. So,

75
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:26,080
come back on Wednesday for more tech news. It just keeps happening. It never

76
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:26,080
stops. It's just
