but wait i'm going to transform into my alter ego
now i'm ready for the tech news
speaking of tech news Intel remembers the good times sure butchered that
segway when NVIDIA had some actual competition in the graphic space the
company has released a flashy video teasing its discreet graphics cards
along with a list of its previous achievements in graphics like the truly
mind-shattering feat of being the first pc graphics to play netflix movies in 4k
uh Intel's graphics ambitions are the reason why they hired AMD's former head
of graphics raja kuduri earlier this year maybe they have some real
innovation to bring to the table or maybe they're just looking to shift
focus from the fact that they just can't seem to get past the 14 nanometer node i
mean when you've been with something that long you know you can't drop it like it's nothing speaking of feelings
the internet is feeling the hype perhaps too much so about NVIDIA's upcoming
graphics card announcement on monday we've seen leaks of MSI's gaming x trio
and duke versions of the rtx 2080 and
2080 ti we've seen photos of the rtx
2080s pcb so scandalous complete with the actual
GPU and info about the specs claiming that the 2080 ti has 11 gigs of gddr6
memory with 4 352 cuda cores while the 2080 has 8 gigs
of vram with 2944 cuda cores we're still
waiting to hear about how many giga rays the new cards will have though since the
rtx denotes real-time ray tracing
capabilities the new quadros have 10 giga rays which is there's there's not
nearly enough giga rays around here i've been saying for years if only we had
more giga rays well then
there will be then there will be no shortage of giga rays and ASUS wasn't
content with making the rog zephyrus the world's thinnest gaming laptop once
they had to do it a second time with the logically named zephyrus s for smooth
small smooth operator and they had to unveil it with the world's most
over-the-top and unnecessary launch video ever complete with flashy action
scenes that are meant to mirror the flashiness of the laptop or
um ed from accounting was like you know
what i've always just dreamed of making a short film with these characters
fighting each other in an epic battle wouldn't that be cool
and then he just allocated his own budget anyway the 15-inch notebook is
14.95 millimeters thin
with an 8th gen Intel core i7 gtx 1060
or 1070 max q graphics a 1080p screen with a 144hz refresh rate and 3
milliseconds response time oh and ASUS also unveiled the rg strix scar 2 a 17
inch gaming machine but its launch video was way less flashy so you don't want
that one it's time for snazzy snippets brought to
you by the snazziest canadian electronics retailer memory express their uber price beat guarantee means
that memory express will beat any authorized canadian retailers
price by 10 of the difference both in store and online now that's snazzy plus they
have awesome customer care with 15 day returns and exchanges so canadians do
yourself a maple syrup in favor and check out memory express at the link in
the description maple syrup can be like a cuss word yeah google's in hot water
speaking of cuss words after reports revealed that google apps and websites
continue to track users locations even
when location history is turned off so google has changed the language this
is the obvious response that it uses to describe location tracking so you feel
better about the fact that you're probably being tracked all the time
everywhere by everything anyway so you might as well just give up thanks google
that was the right thing to do valve for some reason is still trying to
squeeze some life out of the dead lifeless corpse of steam machines reddit
users have found that files buried in the steam ui
reference something called play
which would let Windows games run on steam os and other Linux flavors via a
virtual machine or or or or
or or or you could just buy a Windows machine
it's just like a steam machine but with Windows you'll love the sunlight
motorola unveiled their new p30 smartphone which appears to be almost a
carbon copy of the iphone 10 right down
to the home screen wallpaper now i'm not sure whether this was
motorola putting on like uh a workshop on how to plagiarize or maybe
we're just getting to the limit of how different phones can look from each
other except i really don't think it's that second one like really what are you
guys doing like we're just it's like we're just adding ugly things for the
hell of it notches folding screens what's wrong with folding screens you
being a hater hater ARM is super confident that its next cortex cpus are
going to beat Intel's laptop core i5s
and that'll be next year but the chips aren't released yet so this appears to
be the chip maker equivalent of like you know before the wwe match when they like
stand there and each other i'm gonna rip you apart
but like nerdier and getting robots to balance properly is hard but researchers
from the university of tokyo have found a solution
just give the robot a drone for a head
that way it'll still stumble around but it'll make a lot more noise and have
less control we are like this close
to deus ex machina or ex machina or whatever that i got games and movies
confused i robot it's a better one the
iron man the suits move without him in it sometimes i think anyway we're at the
end of this episode of TechLinked so i'm going to transform oh
