WEBVTT

00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:05.439
but wait i'm going to transform into my alter ego

00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:12.240
now i'm ready for the tech news

00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:16.480
speaking of tech news Intel remembers the good times sure butchered that

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:21.199
segway when NVIDIA had some actual competition in the graphic space the

00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:24.880
company has released a flashy video teasing its discreet graphics cards

00:00:23.279 --> 00:00:29.920
along with a list of its previous achievements in graphics like the truly

00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:36.559
mind-shattering feat of being the first pc graphics to play netflix movies in 4k

00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:40.559
uh Intel's graphics ambitions are the reason why they hired AMD's former head

00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:44.160
of graphics raja kuduri earlier this year maybe they have some real

00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:48.000
innovation to bring to the table or maybe they're just looking to shift

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

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

00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:03.359
the internet is feeling the hype perhaps too much so about NVIDIA's upcoming

00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:10.400
graphics card announcement on monday we've seen leaks of MSI's gaming x trio

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:13.439
and duke versions of the rtx 2080 and

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:15.600
2080 ti we've seen photos of the rtx

00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:20.960
2080s pcb so scandalous complete with the actual

00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:26.360
GPU and info about the specs claiming that the 2080 ti has 11 gigs of gddr6

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:34.240
memory with 4 352 cuda cores while the 2080 has 8 gigs

00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:36.560
of vram with 2944 cuda cores we're still

00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:41.439
waiting to hear about how many giga rays the new cards will have though since the

00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:44.159
rtx denotes real-time ray tracing

00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:48.720
capabilities the new quadros have 10 giga rays which is there's there's not

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:53.920
nearly enough giga rays around here i've been saying for years if only we had

00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:54.960
more giga rays well then

00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:59.840
there will be then there will be no shortage of giga rays and ASUS wasn't

00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:04.960
content with making the rog zephyrus the world's thinnest gaming laptop once

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:11.280
they had to do it a second time with the logically named zephyrus s for smooth

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:14.720
small smooth operator and they had to unveil it with the world's most

00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:19.360
over-the-top and unnecessary launch video ever complete with flashy action

00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:25.920
scenes that are meant to mirror the flashiness of the laptop or

00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:27.760
um ed from accounting was like you know

00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:32.879
what i've always just dreamed of making a short film with these characters

00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:35.840
fighting each other in an epic battle wouldn't that be cool

00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:41.599
and then he just allocated his own budget anyway the 15-inch notebook is

00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:46.239
14.95 millimeters thin

00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:48.640
with an 8th gen Intel core i7 gtx 1060

00:02:46.239 --> 00:02:53.120
or 1070 max q graphics a 1080p screen with a 144hz refresh rate and 3

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:57.920
milliseconds response time oh and ASUS also unveiled the rg strix scar 2 a 17

00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:01.120
inch gaming machine but its launch video was way less flashy so you don't want

00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:04.560
that one it's time for snazzy snippets brought to

00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:10.400
you by the snazziest canadian electronics retailer memory express their uber price beat guarantee means

00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:14.319
that memory express will beat any authorized canadian retailers

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

00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:24.720
have awesome customer care with 15 day returns and exchanges so canadians do

00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:28.159
yourself a maple syrup in favor and check out memory express at the link in

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:33.519
the description maple syrup can be like a cuss word yeah google's in hot water

00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:39.599
speaking of cuss words after reports revealed that google apps and websites

00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:42.560
continue to track users locations even

00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:47.120
when location history is turned off so google has changed the language this

00:03:44.799 --> 00:03:50.799
is the obvious response that it uses to describe location tracking so you feel

00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:54.959
better about the fact that you're probably being tracked all the time

00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:59.280
everywhere by everything anyway so you might as well just give up thanks google

00:03:57.519 --> 00:04:04.480
that was the right thing to do valve for some reason is still trying to

00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:09.519
squeeze some life out of the dead lifeless corpse of steam machines reddit

00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:13.360
users have found that files buried in the steam ui

00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:17.040
reference something called play

00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:23.520
which would let Windows games run on steam os and other Linux flavors via a

00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:24.720
virtual machine or or or or

00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:30.400
or or or you could just buy a Windows machine

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:34.400
it's just like a steam machine but with Windows you'll love the sunlight

00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:39.919
motorola unveiled their new p30 smartphone which appears to be almost a

00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:42.400
carbon copy of the iphone 10 right down

00:04:39.919 --> 00:04:46.400
to the home screen wallpaper now i'm not sure whether this was

00:04:43.840 --> 00:04:51.680
motorola putting on like uh a workshop on how to plagiarize or maybe

00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:54.800
we're just getting to the limit of how different phones can look from each

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

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

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:06.240
hell of it notches folding screens what's wrong with folding screens you

00:05:03.919 --> 00:05:12.479
being a hater hater ARM is super confident that its next cortex cpus are

00:05:08.880 --> 00:05:14.560
going to beat Intel's laptop core i5s

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

00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:24.240
be the chip maker equivalent of like you know before the wwe match when they like

00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:28.560
stand there and each other i'm gonna rip you apart

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:32.960
but like nerdier and getting robots to balance properly is hard but researchers

00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:37.199
from the university of tokyo have found a solution

00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:39.440
just give the robot a drone for a head

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

00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:47.120
less control we are like this close

00:05:46.320 --> 00:05:54.240
to deus ex machina or ex machina or whatever that i got games and movies

00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:55.440
confused i robot it's a better one the

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

00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:04.960
end of this episode of TechLinked so i'm going to transform oh

00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:08.479
back into clark kent whoa subscribe if you like tech news

00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:12.639
don't subscribe if you want to go back to staring at rocks

00:06:10.479 --> 00:06:16.000
