00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,879
happy april fool's day but here on techlink we're not fooling around the

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:10,160
tech news we're talking about today is real

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,639
or is it it is

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:19,359
as is tradition tech companies celebrated the day by announcing

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:24,320
imaginary products you might expect to see in a black mirror episode NVIDIA's

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:30,640
offering is a holographic desktop gaming assistant named ron or ran that channels

7
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:37,360
your anger into supportive messages for your team and even provides ai-generated

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:37,360
comebacks to trolls troll destroyer

9
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:44,800
he'll automatically link all the relevant facts and he never has to eat

10
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:50,239
sleep or bathe making him an equal match for your average online troll meanwhile

11
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:54,719
oneplus announced a 3d printable car powered by 20 ordinary phone chargers

12
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:59,440
that you drive with an app sega teased us with a sonic themed battle royale

13
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:02,320
game featuring 4 million characters which actually seems somewhat realistic

14
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:06,560
and sounds like a game i would want to play and google even promised us an

15
00:01:04,559 --> 00:01:11,280
automatic screen cleaner for mobile gadgets but one piece of april fool's

16
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:15,360
frivolity you can actually enjoy there's a travel themed snake game on google

17
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:19,360
maps you can check out after you're done watching me flap my gums that's it

18
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:23,600
that's how you know john wrote this script

19
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:27,439
i'm just flapping my gums we've already known for a while that Intel is planning

20
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:31,360
to release its own discrete GPU but we've just gotten some new information

21
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:36,320
on what to expect from leaks of an internal Intel event the plans describe

22
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:41,759
cards that feature multiple gpus as part of Intel's xe lineup with the e being

23
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:47,840
replaced by the number of gpus in that specific model so a dual GPU card would

24
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:49,360
be designated x with a little two and so

25
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,520
on i mean it's not accurate by standard notation

26
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:59,119
guidelines but okay whatever while the first card we get is expected to have

27
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:02,320
two gpus we could see an eight GPU skew

28
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:04,479
by 2023 that's a little much the dual

29
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:10,879
GPU card will reportedly feature 32 gigabytes of crosspoint video memory

30
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:13,760
over 6 000 stream processors per GPU

31
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:18,400
and 8 terabytes of bandwidth for 699 dollars when it hits the market in june

32
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:22,239
2020. wow uh considering the card is supposed to be flagshipped here the

33
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:27,680
pricing seems relatively competitive which is sad to think about seven

34
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:31,840
hundred dollars is affordable as long as it's RGB i'm in hell yeah dude can i say

35
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:35,840
hell yeah and Intel's new gpus are no doubt

36
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:40,800
getting a boost from the company's new hire tom peterson

37
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:45,040
i think it's pete thomason right sorry pete thomason not to be confused with

38
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,120
the tom peterson from cheap trick is that a band do you know what that is get

39
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:53,680
better references john peterson has been a fixture at NVIDIA since 2015 where he

40
00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:57,760
was a top engineer and the director of technical marketing for team green's

41
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,280
GeForce lineup Intel brought peterson on to join their game experience team which

42
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:05,680
probably means that he'll be involved in helping get Intel's new discrete gpus to

43
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:09,760
market next year this move isn't the first notable addition to Intel's

44
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:14,879
fledgling discrete graphics team however as team blue also hired chris hooke a

45
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:19,040
former marketing director at AMD and rival of peter pan that guy was born to

46
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:24,720
be in marketing chris hook hey i got a hook for you

47
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:28,879

54
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:57,599
long ago it was

55
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:01,680
time for quick bits it wasn't long ago that the impossible

56
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:05,519
burger was a hard to find luxury item but that looks to be changing in an

57
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:11,280
announcement today that wasn't an april fool's prank burger king launched the

58
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,159
impossible whopper aka

59
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,799
the impassa whopper

60
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,040
it'll show up in several dozen restaurants around the st louis area

61
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:24,639
following impossible's partnership with white castle back in january it's good

62
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:28,400
news but i hope impossible burger is noticing that the wider their

63
00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:32,080
availability spreads the less sense their name makes

64
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:36,400
it's obviously possible once i don't like you today gmail is

65
00:04:34,479 --> 00:04:40,080
getting a very welcome feature that lets you schedule emails to be sent in the

66
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:43,600
future if you don't feel like lighting up someone's inbox of weird times

67
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:47,280
although you can accomplish this with third-party browser extensions it's

68
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:51,360
always nice to see a cleaner native solution i'm going to be using it all

69
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:55,680
the time to deliver positive messages to my co-workers right when they walk into

70
00:04:53,360 --> 00:05:00,320
the office about how they could make me look better on camera

71
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:04,320
wow john wrote that but it's true i'm very selfish although we mentioned a

72
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:07,600
notable Intel higher earlier folks farther down the food chain at the

73
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:11,840
company are getting hit with layoffs particularly in it administration

74
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:15,840
interestingly the layoffs don't seem to be about cost cutting but rather a

75
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:19,840
restructuring as Intel reportedly is attempting to shift to having more of

76
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:24,320
its operation in-house rather than handled by external contractors

77
00:05:21,919 --> 00:05:28,639
seems like for that scenario you'd need more people at your company not less but

78
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:32,960
what do i know it's all relative yeah who am i tom peterson if you're

79
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,560
interested in snagging a cut-rate pixel 2 you'll have to look to a reseller as

80
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,759
google has just stopped selling the devices although the pixel 2 has only

81
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:43,039
been on the market for about a year and a half it isn't super surprising as

82
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:47,520
google is trying to get people to buy the shiny new pixel 3 instead personally

83
00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:52,000
i don't keep any new phone for more than two months before getting the latest

84
00:05:49,039 --> 00:05:56,160
thing i can otherwise my self-esteem starts to suffer

85
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:59,360
you look less valuable and here's a reminder that even

86
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:03,600
celebrities are susceptible to phishing scams as an american man recently pled

87
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:07,520
guilty to charges stemming from a string of incidents in which he scammed

88
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:11,919
entertainers and athletes out of their apple credentials accessing private

89
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:15,440
information and stealing money it's unclear how much time he'll be looking

90
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:19,440
at but maybe he can use his skills to sweet talk the prison commissary out of

91
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:22,800
a few extra bags of doritos that's what i'm talking about well

92
00:06:21,039 --> 00:06:26,160
that's it for today guys there's no more words in front of the camera for me to

93
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,759
read so come back wednesday where will sweet talk you

94
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:35,479
into watching more tech news hopefully we don't have to sweet talk

95
00:06:31,039 --> 00:06:35,479
you hopefully it's entertaining enough

96
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:43,440
sweet sweet sweet sweet sweets tend to see you later

97
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,840
that was so nonsensical you know
