Tech news. It's what happens when an idea meets a thought meets a computer

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:13.360
that can inspire a generation. Now get out there and live. Go tech. How long do

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:15.839
you spend on these? I love tech news.

00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:20.000
Windows 11's launch was plagued by bugs. One of which caused performance drops on

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:24.560
Ryzen processors. And after an initial patch actually made performance worse, a

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:29.519
second patch seemed to fix the issue. Well, YouTube channel Hardware Unboxed

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:35.360
has discovered that fix only applies if you plan to never swap out your CPU. I

00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:37.840
don't. Well, they tried. And well, the

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:41.760
front fell off. I'm using that reference again. You remember that? No. You never

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:46.640
watched this skit. Apparently, swapping your current AMD CPU for a different one

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:50.399
causes the L3 cache issue to return, causing significant drops in gaming

00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:54.160
performance. The report was corroborated by PC Boutique Power GPU. And while

00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:58.320
there hasn't been any kind of confirmation from other sources or a

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:02.079
response from Microsoft or AMD, I feel confident another patch is incoming that

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

00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:11.920
with the screwdrivers and figure it out. Roblox is finally back online after a

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:16.159
lengthy outage that started on Thursday night and lasted deep into Sunday,

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:19.920
causing many children to spiral into depression. Many people speculated that

00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:24.320
the outage was caused because of a promotion that Roblox was doing with

00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:27.799
burrito chain Chipotle as the promo went live only around 30 minutes before the

00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:32.960
outage hit. Chipot Roblox issued a statement denying

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:37.119
the TechMax Cuisine had anything to do with this. They caused lots of issues

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:41.119
sometimes, but not here. Apparently, the real cause of the outage was quote

00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:44.240
unquote growth in the number of servers in their data centers. Tried spraying it

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

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:53.040
downtime, but it was a notably long outage for a game that has over 40

00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:58.399
million people playing it every day. Every man, woman, and child in Canada

00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:00.799
will eventually live on Roblox inside a

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

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:08.479
jealous of Tesla's network of superchargers. They're so dope.

00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:12.160
I wish I was James. Tesla's superchargers can charge you up quickly.

00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:16.319
And frankly, they sound way cooler than like Eco Plug or whatever the SP special

00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:20.640
parking spot is called at your local Safeway. I don't want to park there. Up

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:24.080
until now, you had to drive a Tesla EV in order to use superchargers. But now,

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:28.640
Tesla is going to start allowing other brands of EV to use them. Starting out

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:34.080
with 10 stations in the Netherlands, the Nether regions, the crotch. We'll let

00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:38.959
you try it down there. You'll have to download the app and select charge your

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:42.560
inferior non-Tesla car to locate a station near you. If the pilot project

00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:46.959
works out, it'll probably expand elsewhere. And if it does horribly,

00:02:44.440 --> 00:02:50.720
well, those Dutch had it coming. Quick bits. They make the pain go away for a

00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:54.800
little while. Apple is planning to roll out a car crash detection feature for

00:02:52.640 --> 00:02:58.480
iPhones and Apple Watches, which will be able to automatically dial 911 even if

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

00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:06.159
back to the Pixel 3. Really? Yeah. I didn't know that. But not everything has

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:10.480
to be about competition. I mean, look at the iOS app store. No competition at

00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:14.480
all. Case Labs was a favorite among PC DIY enthusiasts for highquality custom

00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:18.239
cooling friendly cases before they went bankrupt in 2018, but now it looks like

00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:21.280
they're set for a comeback as the company is under new ownership. It's

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

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:36.080
slabs and like saying it the right way. K- slabs. OK slabs. Amazon's project

00:03:32.200 --> 00:03:37.920
Cooper Kiper Kip sounds queepy finally

00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:41.519
has a launch date the fourth quarter of 2022 when it'll start sending up

00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:46.319
internet carrying satellites to compete with Elon Musk's Starlink Starlink

00:03:44.040 --> 00:03:51.120
Starlunk Starlink already has more than 1,700 satellites in orbit but Amazon

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.

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

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

00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:09.040
dangerous. He could do it though. Yeah. Hell yeah, brother. I'm wearing a cowboy

00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:13.760
hat now. Two popular tech blogs are closing their doors for good. Hexus and

00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:19.040
BitTech, both publications run by David Ross out of the UK, are have been used

00:04:16.479 --> 00:04:22.000
by us many times as sources on Techlink. The sites didn't make it clear why

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

00:04:25.440 --> 00:04:32.160
loyal readers. from one tech news outlet to another. Let's pour one out for them.

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

00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:39.600
actually had a RIP. Hit F12 to inspect.

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:45.199
And scientists have created a new so-called 5D optical storage medium that

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.

00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:54.479
It uses nanocale dots embedded in the glass that can be manipulated with

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:59.199
extremely fast laser pulses. Right. Speed is somewhat slow at 230 kilobytes

00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:03.520
per second, but the medium is supposed to last nearly 14 billion years, the age

00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:07.759
of the Earth, baby, and tolerate temperatures up to a,000° C. So, we

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

00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:17.919
develops, I guess. Is that what you're saying? Could that is that science

00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:20.720
actually by a budding? Better end this episode before that happens, though. So,

00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:26.080
come back on Wednesday for more tech news. It just keeps happening. It never

00:05:23.039 --> 00:05:26.080
stops. It's just
