Tech news. It's what happens when an idea meets a thought meets a computer
that can inspire a generation. Now get out there and live. Go tech. How long do
you spend on these? I love tech news.
Windows 11's launch was plagued by bugs. One of which caused performance drops on
Ryzen processors. And after an initial patch actually made performance worse, a
second patch seemed to fix the issue. Well, YouTube channel Hardware Unboxed
has discovered that fix only applies if you plan to never swap out your CPU. I
don't. Well, they tried. And well, the
front fell off. I'm using that reference again. You remember that? No. You never
watched this skit. Apparently, swapping your current AMD CPU for a different one
causes the L3 cache issue to return, causing significant drops in gaming
performance. The report was corroborated by PC Boutique Power GPU. And while
there hasn't been any kind of confirmation from other sources or a
response from Microsoft or AMD, I feel confident another patch is incoming that
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
with the screwdrivers and figure it out. Roblox is finally back online after a
lengthy outage that started on Thursday night and lasted deep into Sunday,
causing many children to spiral into depression. Many people speculated that
the outage was caused because of a promotion that Roblox was doing with
burrito chain Chipotle as the promo went live only around 30 minutes before the
outage hit. Chipot Roblox issued a statement denying
the TechMax Cuisine had anything to do with this. They caused lots of issues
sometimes, but not here. Apparently, the real cause of the outage was quote
unquote growth in the number of servers in their data centers. Tried spraying it
with server killer. It just keeps growing. It can't stop. Obviously, server maintenance is a common cause of
downtime, but it was a notably long outage for a game that has over 40
million people playing it every day. Every man, woman, and child in Canada
will eventually live on Roblox inside a
Roblox verse. If you own an EV that isn't a Tesla, you might be a little
jealous of Tesla's network of superchargers. They're so dope.
I wish I was James. Tesla's superchargers can charge you up quickly.
And frankly, they sound way cooler than like Eco Plug or whatever the SP special
parking spot is called at your local Safeway. I don't want to park there. Up
until now, you had to drive a Tesla EV in order to use superchargers. But now,
Tesla is going to start allowing other brands of EV to use them. Starting out
with 10 stations in the Netherlands, the Nether regions, the crotch. We'll let
you try it down there. You'll have to download the app and select charge your
inferior non-Tesla car to locate a station near you. If the pilot project
works out, it'll probably expand elsewhere. And if it does horribly,
well, those Dutch had it coming. Quick bits. They make the pain go away for a
little while. Apple is planning to roll out a car crash detection feature for
iPhones and Apple Watches, which will be able to automatically dial 911 even if
you're incapacitated. This functionality has already been around for quite a while on Google's Pixel lineup, dating
back to the Pixel 3. Really? Yeah. I didn't know that. But not everything has
to be about competition. I mean, look at the iOS app store. No competition at
all. Case Labs was a favorite among PC DIY enthusiasts for highquality custom
cooling friendly cases before they went bankrupt in 2018, but now it looks like
they're set for a comeback as the company is under new ownership. It's
unclear exactly when they'll start selling cases again, but it's great news for folks who really like aluminium and
slabs and like saying it the right way. K- slabs. OK slabs. Amazon's project
Cooper Kiper Kip sounds queepy finally
has a launch date the fourth quarter of 2022 when it'll start sending up
internet carrying satellites to compete with Elon Musk's Starlink Starlink
Starlunk Starlink already has more than 1,700 satellites in orbit but Amazon
eventually wants to get over 3,000 of its own up there over the next 10 years.
I love space junk more. I have no doubt Jeff Bezos will make it happen. He'll
probably go up there himself to make sure everything's good. That would be cool. Careful though, space is
dangerous. He could do it though. Yeah. Hell yeah, brother. I'm wearing a cowboy
hat now. Two popular tech blogs are closing their doors for good. Hexus and
BitTech, both publications run by David Ross out of the UK, are have been used
by us many times as sources on Techlink. The sites didn't make it clear why
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
loyal readers. from one tech news outlet to another. Let's pour one out for them.

actually had a RIP. Hit F12 to inspect.
And scientists have created a new so-called 5D optical storage medium that
can hold 500 terabytes of data on a piece of glass roughly the size of a CD.
It uses nanocale dots embedded in the glass that can be manipulated with
extremely fast laser pulses. Right. Speed is somewhat slow at 230 kilobytes
per second, but the medium is supposed to last nearly 14 billion years, the age
of the Earth, baby, and tolerate temperatures up to a,000° C. So, we
should be done writing everything to it by the time the heat death of the universe happens or another Earth
develops, I guess. Is that what you're saying? Could that is that science
actually by a budding? Better end this episode before that happens, though. So,
come back on Wednesday for more tech news. It just keeps happening. It never
stops. It's just
