1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,439
but wait i'm going to transform into my alter ego

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:12,240
now i'm ready for the tech news

3
00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:16,480
speaking of tech news Intel remembers the good times sure butchered that

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,199
segway when NVIDIA had some actual competition in the graphic space the

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:24,880
company has released a flashy video teasing its discreet graphics cards

6
00:00:23,279 --> 00:00:29,920
along with a list of its previous achievements in graphics like the truly

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:36,559
mind-shattering feat of being the first pc graphics to play netflix movies in 4k

8
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:40,559
uh Intel's graphics ambitions are the reason why they hired AMD's former head

9
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:44,160
of graphics raja kuduri earlier this year maybe they have some real

10
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:48,000
innovation to bring to the table or maybe they're just looking to shift

11
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:51,840
focus from the fact that they just can't seem to get past the 14 nanometer node i

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:58,640
mean when you've been with something that long you know you can't drop it like it's nothing speaking of feelings

13
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:03,359
the internet is feeling the hype perhaps too much so about NVIDIA's upcoming

14
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:10,400
graphics card announcement on monday we've seen leaks of MSI's gaming x trio

15
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:13,439
and duke versions of the rtx 2080 and

16
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,600
2080 ti we've seen photos of the rtx

17
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:20,960
2080s pcb so scandalous complete with the actual

18
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:26,360
GPU and info about the specs claiming that the 2080 ti has 11 gigs of gddr6

19
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:34,240
memory with 4 352 cuda cores while the 2080 has 8 gigs

20
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:36,560
of vram with 2944 cuda cores we're still

21
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:41,439
waiting to hear about how many giga rays the new cards will have though since the

22
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:44,159
rtx denotes real-time ray tracing

23
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:48,720
capabilities the new quadros have 10 giga rays which is there's there's not

24
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:53,920
nearly enough giga rays around here i've been saying for years if only we had

25
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:54,960
more giga rays well then

26
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:59,840
there will be then there will be no shortage of giga rays and ASUS wasn't

27
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:04,960
content with making the rog zephyrus the world's thinnest gaming laptop once

28
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:11,280
they had to do it a second time with the logically named zephyrus s for smooth

29
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,720
small smooth operator and they had to unveil it with the world's most

30
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:19,360
over-the-top and unnecessary launch video ever complete with flashy action

31
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:25,920
scenes that are meant to mirror the flashiness of the laptop or

32
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,760
um ed from accounting was like you know

33
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:32,879
what i've always just dreamed of making a short film with these characters

34
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,840
fighting each other in an epic battle wouldn't that be cool

35
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:41,599
and then he just allocated his own budget anyway the 15-inch notebook is

36
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:46,239
14.95 millimeters thin

37
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:48,640
with an 8th gen Intel core i7 gtx 1060

38
00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:53,120
or 1070 max q graphics a 1080p screen with a 144hz refresh rate and 3

39
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:57,920
milliseconds response time oh and ASUS also unveiled the rg strix scar 2 a 17

40
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,120
inch gaming machine but its launch video was way less flashy so you don't want

41
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:04,560
that one it's time for snazzy snippets brought to

42
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:10,400
you by the snazziest canadian electronics retailer memory express their uber price beat guarantee means

43
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:14,319
that memory express will beat any authorized canadian retailers

44
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:20,000
price by 10 of the difference both in store and online now that's snazzy plus they

45
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:24,720
have awesome customer care with 15 day returns and exchanges so canadians do

46
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:28,159
yourself a maple syrup in favor and check out memory express at the link in

47
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:33,519
the description maple syrup can be like a cuss word yeah google's in hot water

48
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:39,599
speaking of cuss words after reports revealed that google apps and websites

49
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:42,560
continue to track users locations even

50
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:47,120
when location history is turned off so google has changed the language this

51
00:03:44,799 --> 00:03:50,799
is the obvious response that it uses to describe location tracking so you feel

52
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:54,959
better about the fact that you're probably being tracked all the time

53
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:59,280
everywhere by everything anyway so you might as well just give up thanks google

54
00:03:57,519 --> 00:04:04,480
that was the right thing to do valve for some reason is still trying to

55
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:09,519
squeeze some life out of the dead lifeless corpse of steam machines reddit

56
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:13,360
users have found that files buried in the steam ui

57
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:17,040
reference something called play

58
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:23,520
which would let Windows games run on steam os and other Linux flavors via a

59
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,720
virtual machine or or or or

60
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:30,400
or or or you could just buy a Windows machine

61
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,400
it's just like a steam machine but with Windows you'll love the sunlight

62
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:39,919
motorola unveiled their new p30 smartphone which appears to be almost a

63
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:42,400
carbon copy of the iphone 10 right down

64
00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:46,400
to the home screen wallpaper now i'm not sure whether this was

65
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:51,680
motorola putting on like uh a workshop on how to plagiarize or maybe

66
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,800
we're just getting to the limit of how different phones can look from each

67
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,639
other except i really don't think it's that second one like really what are you

68
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:02,639
guys doing like we're just it's like we're just adding ugly things for the

69
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:06,240
hell of it notches folding screens what's wrong with folding screens you

70
00:05:03,919 --> 00:05:12,479
being a hater hater ARM is super confident that its next cortex cpus are

71
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:14,560
going to beat Intel's laptop core i5s

72
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:19,199
and that'll be next year but the chips aren't released yet so this appears to

73
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:24,240
be the chip maker equivalent of like you know before the wwe match when they like

74
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:28,560
stand there and each other i'm gonna rip you apart

75
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:32,960
but like nerdier and getting robots to balance properly is hard but researchers

76
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:37,199
from the university of tokyo have found a solution

77
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:39,440
just give the robot a drone for a head

78
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:43,600
that way it'll still stumble around but it'll make a lot more noise and have

79
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:47,120
less control we are like this close

80
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:54,240
to deus ex machina or ex machina or whatever that i got games and movies

81
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,440
confused i robot it's a better one the

82
00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:00,800
iron man the suits move without him in it sometimes i think anyway we're at the

83
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:04,960
end of this episode of TechLinked so i'm going to transform oh

85
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:12,639
