WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.160 It's a brand new week of news, or what us newsies call brand news. In the news 00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:13.720 biz, you got to save time as much as possible, so you never miss a hot scoop. 00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:18.040 That's why we always, my friend Mark Gurman has given more details on Apple's 00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:21.800 planned low-cost version of their upcoming Vision Pro headset. Don't 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:26.080 worry, it's still expensive enough for you to flex on the poor people who can't 00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:29.960 afford it. While Gurman already claimed Apple would be using lower resolution 00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:34.640 displays and replacing the M-series chip with an iPhone processor, he now also 00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:38.560 says that the eye sight feature, the revolutionary feature that reveals 00:00:36.440 --> 00:00:42.480 lifeless simulacra of your eyes on the external screen when you interact with 00:00:40.080 --> 00:00:46.760 another human, or attempt to, will also be removed from the cheaper model. 00:00:44.720 --> 00:00:49.880 Notice I didn't say cheap, because apparently the company is looking to 00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:53.960 price the device somewhere between $1,500 and $2,500. 00:00:55.320 --> 00:01:01.280 Speaking of extra months, Gurman has also adjusted his prediction for when 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:06.000 the new M3 MacBooks will launch from this month to early next year. The last 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:09.960 time Apple launched new MacBook chips so early in the year was 2015. Maybe they 00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:14.320 should have delayed the iPhone 15 lineup, too, since yet another issue has 00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:18.880 been found, this time affecting just the 15 Pro Max. Some new owners of the 00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:23.240 flagship iPhone are reporting screen burn-in on its OLED display on social 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:27.040 media. know. I'm I'm starting to think that maybe focusing all that effort on 00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:31.720 engineering a $3,500 headset might not have been the best idea. Did the Vision 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:36.520 Pro get burn-in? It burns onto your eyes. 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:41.160 I'll never forget this 3D holo memory. Intel has officially announced their 00:01:38.160 --> 00:01:42.840 14th gen Raptor Lake refresh chips just 00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:48.120 in time for them to be released on the 17th of October, or what us newsies call 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:52.600 tomorrow. The launch includes three refreshed chips with K and KF versions 00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:56.600 of each that will all be releasing at the same price as their 13th gen 00:01:54.760 --> 00:02:00.160 predecessors, despite predictions of a price increase. But I mean, can you 00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:05.600 blame them in this economy? When the milk restock is rebranded as milk 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:07.680 premium? Unfortunately, price isn't the 00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:13.400 only similarity here. Core counts are the same as last gen across the board, 00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:15.360 save for the i7 14700K, but all the new 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:18.440 chips have higher boost frequencies while staying within the same power 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:23.680 envelopes as last gen. Let's get it. Intel also claims that the 14th gen 00:02:20.200 --> 00:02:27.040 chips will have up to 23% better gaming 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:29.720 performance than AMD's Ryzen 7000X3D 00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:36.480 series chips. Though, according to Tom's Hardware, Intel's own benchmarks show an 00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:37.760 uplift of just 2% on average. For me, 2% 00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:42.800 only really matters if we're talking milk, which is delicious. Homo or go 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:44.720 home. Homo or homo or go home. That doesn't make sense to Americans. I'm 00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:49.600 sorry. That's 3.25%, but yeah, it's still good. 00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:56.800 However, Intel also says their refreshed chips will have up to 54% faster creator 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:58.520 workflow versus the Ryzen 9 7950X, which 00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:03.120 is basically a passing grade on an English exam. Intel also announced their 00:03:00.920 --> 00:03:07.640 AI assist overclocking plugin for their extreme tuning utility that uses AI 00:03:05.640 --> 00:03:11.200 algorithms to help you overclock your processor, which is helpful for people 00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:14.480 like me who have no idea what they're doing and just enter different numbers 00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:19.320 in to see what happens. It's like betting your computer on a hand of 00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:21.360 poker, but if you win, it just gets 00:03:19.320 --> 00:03:26.160 slightly faster. And if you lose, you smell burnt toast. 00:03:23.600 --> 00:03:31.680 It's a bad value proposition. AMD is being blamed by gaming handheld company 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:36.600 GPD for the delay in shipping their new Win Max 2, because there's always a 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:42.480 reason crowdfunded projects are not on time, ever. GPD has gone as far as to 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:48.200 accuse Team Red of breach of contract because they didn't supply enough Ryzen 00:03:44.200 --> 00:03:50.440 7 7840U APUs. Like all the best stories 00:03:48.200 --> 00:03:55.680 involving delayed products, GPD posted an update on the Win Max 2's Indiegogo 00:03:52.880 --> 00:04:00.000 page saying that AMD did not deliver enough of the chips to GPD's upstream 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:04.680 supplier, and therefore they didn't receive their expected second batch of 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:10.120 APUs to fulfill backer orders. According to GPD themselves, all configurations 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:12.400 with 32 gigs or 64 gigs of memory and 2 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:15.960 terabytes of storage are affected, and GPD seems to have no estimate for when 00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:19.480 affected orders will be delivered. According to VideoCards, these sorts of 00:04:17.440 --> 00:04:23.800 posts from board and OEM partners are rare, probably because most partners 00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:28.520 know to fear the Android known as Dr. Lisa Su and the laser beams she shoots 00:04:26.640 --> 00:04:32.160 from her eyes.

With the calming regality of Mufasa's spirit, 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:19.120 now it's time for quick bits. Is that okay? 00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:23.360 NVIDIA is hell-bent on pushing the envelope regarding what level of chunk 00:05:21.320 --> 00:05:28.400 is acceptable for graphics cards, but one intrepid modder has had enough. A 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:35.480 Redditor going by TechTaxi slapped the cooler of a two-slot Gainward RTX 4070 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:38.640 Ghost OC onto the PCB of a Gainward RTX 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:41.680 4080 Phoenix GS, resulting in, 00:05:38.640 --> 00:05:43.760 astonishingly, a normal-size graphics 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:48.160 card. What? The smallest commercially 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:53.200 available RTX 4080 is the two and a half slot ASUS ProArt model, but hopefully 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:57.800 the extensive performance data TechTaxi included in his post proves to NVIDIA 00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:00.920 that it is in fact still possible to make graphics cards that can fit in your 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:05.720 freezer. That's the part where you ask me, "Why the freezer?" And I say, "Nah." 00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:13.760 I'm not telling you. That's where I keep my GPUs. 00:06:11.440 --> 00:06:18.480 Google's VP of engineering for Android, Dave Burke, announced in a Reddit AMA 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:23.280 last week that the Pixel 8 and other OEMs will be able to support lossless 00:06:20.760 --> 00:06:28.400 audio output over USB-C. According to Burke, while Android 14 supports the 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:32.680 feature in software, any Android phones need baked-in hardware support to make 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:38.400 the magic happen. Something Burke didn't mention is the Pixel 8's support for 00:06:35.080 --> 00:06:40.680 display over USB-C, which it has, at 00:06:38.400 --> 00:06:46.320 least if you root your phone to get around the block that Google put on it 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:49.600 for some reason. Why? Someone needs to organize an intervention for Google to 00:06:47.960 --> 00:06:53.080 address their addiction to killing features and services. They're like 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:56.400 Dexter over here. It's not healthy. We're concerned. 00:06:54.840 --> 00:07:01.240 Another interesting bit from Mark Gurmanson's recent revelations concerns 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:06.120 an Apple system that will allow retail store staff to wirelessly update sealed 00:07:04.280 --> 00:07:11.160 iPhones. The system consists of a pad-like device that will turn on 00:07:07.960 --> 00:07:13.640 iPhones even inside unopened boxes, run 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:18.040 an update, then turn the phone back off. It feels somehow perfectly Apple to know 00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:21.560 that Tim Cook got his engineers to create groundbreaking new tech so your 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:24.120 mom won't have to update her new iPhone on Christmas, because that's like half 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:27.760 the morning gone. You can't keep your mom happy, Tim Cook 00:07:26.320 --> 00:07:31.960 will. Come on, Barbara. We're going to 00:07:29.400 --> 00:07:31.960 Denny's. 00:07:33.320 --> 00:07:39.880 A brand new RTX 4090 Founders Edition graphics card has been killed by a 00:07:37.960 --> 00:07:43.960 literal bug. You know, the kind with wings and six legs. You'd see more of 00:07:42.080 --> 00:07:50.200 them if you went outside. In a senseless kamikaze attack, an insect somehow 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:52.160 crawled under this card's AD102 GPU 00:07:50.200 --> 00:07:56.320 chip, like the actual GPU. Luckily, the card was brought back to life by the 00:07:53.920 --> 00:08:01.040 removal of the bug and the repair of a minor component, but sadly, the bug did 00:07:58.880 --> 00:08:06.000 not survive. Funnily enough, the first known computer bug was also an actual 00:08:03.280 --> 00:08:10.280 insect. Back in 1946, the Harvard Computation Lab suffered a metaphorical 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:13.160 bug when a moth got trapped inside a relay. Relays were bigger back then. 00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:20.560 What the heck was that? What is this, TechWiki? And telehealth platform SimplePractice is warning patients that 00:08:17.840 --> 00:08:24.920 Apple's new video reactions in FaceTime might result in call participants 00:08:22.640 --> 00:08:28.960 accidentally adding a heart emoji or virtual confetti during an awkward 00:08:27.200 --> 00:08:34.280 moment. The reactions are enabled by default, and eight of them can be set 00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:37.800 off just by hand gestures. It might be nice to get two thumbs up from your 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:42.360 therapist for managing to take a shower today, but a round of virtual fireworks 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:48.720 just makes it seem sarcastic. Great job. Nice. Oh god, WHERE'S MY NEXT 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:52.720 CLIENT? BUT I'M NOT BEING sarcastic when I say 00:08:51.280 --> 00:08:56.320 you should come back on Wednesday for more tech news. 00:08:54.680 --> 00:08:59.000 Shower or not. We don't care.
