1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:06,960
wow look at this weather beautiful day for tech news

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,960
i don't need this

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:13,920
thanks james happy monday to all although i can't

4
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:18,880
blame you if your spirits are a little dampened if you've been waiting to get your hands on the new flagship graphics

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:23,680
cards from NVIDIA who announced on their official forum that the GeForce rtx 2080

6
00:00:21,439 --> 00:00:27,840
ti would be delayed yeah i'm very angry fortunately the wait

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:32,239
shouldn't be super long as general availability has only been pushed back

8
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:36,079
one week to the 27th of september or 10 days from today no reason was given for

9
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:40,800
the delay but with supply of the new flagship card already super scarce

10
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:43,840
scarce i would have said constrained okay

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:48,879
super constrained it isn't terribly surprising however the rtx 2080 non-ti

12
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:54,160
remains on schedule for general release on september 20th so the wait will be

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:56,000
very short if you really feel compelled

14
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:59,440
to be an early adopter let's just hope the reason for the delay

15
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:03,199
is supply and not issues with the rtx tech because i don't want to spend one

16
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:07,520
more minute of my life without ray tracing when i'm on my deathbed stop i

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,400
don't wanna although it's been widely known for a while that samsung is

18
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,680
working on bringing a foldable smartphone to market which is also

19
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:18,320
something that we all need in our lives asap right now yep well a new challenger

20
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:21,680
has suddenly appeared huawei has reportedly thrown its hat into the ring

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:27,360
they don't just want to release their own device but they also want to beat samsung to the punch it's continuously

22
00:01:25,759 --> 00:01:30,799
been looking like samsung would be the first out of the gate but rumors have

23
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:35,439
been swirling that huawei's foldable phone could appear as soon as early next

24
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:39,439
year with huawei ceo richard yu confirming that such advice is less than

25
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:42,640
a year away he went on to discuss the possibility of a fold-out device that

26
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:46,479
could serve as a replacement for a traditional pc monitor

27
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:50,960
a little far-fetched though we may have to wait a while to see how that story

28
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,880
unfolds can you imagine having a pc where the

29
00:01:53,119 --> 00:01:58,880
monitor just falls out oh we have that that's a laptop oh

30
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:04,000
well if you're a sucker for retro gaming you'll probably be interested in these

31
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,759
nes style controllers that were just announced for the nintendo switch at

32
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:12,160
first glance they look nearly identical to the original nes controllers from the

33
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:15,280
1980s with the joy-con attachment on top being the only noticeable difference of

34
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:18,800
course this also means they won't be compatible with every switch game as

35
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:25,599
some need the additional buttons and analog sticks and infrared sensors and

36
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:28,160
vehicles attachments

37
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:31,760
for games they're meant to be used with a library

38
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,840
of 20 nes games that will soon be appearing on nintendo switch online and

39
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:41,760
they aren't cheap either with two of them costing 59.99 usd the d stands for

40
00:02:39,519 --> 00:02:45,840
dollars james the the same price is an entire nes classic but i somehow have

41
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:50,400
little doubt enough people will still be lining up to fork over their money

42
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:54,239
those guys those guys

43
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:57,840

53
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:39,280
it's time for quick bits there's an old saying that you'll catch more flies with

54
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:43,440
honey than with vinegar i've never heard it but and ah damn it i need to do that

55
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:46,319
again there's an old saying that you'll catch more flies with honey than with

56
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:51,599
vinegar i've never heard it but apparently Linus no not our Linus but

57
00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:57,599
the creator of Linux Linus created Linux yeah no not not our Linux not our Linux

58
00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:01,760
the other one the creator of Linux Linus finally appears to have gotten it as

59
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:06,720
Linus torvalds has stated he's taking a break from maintaining the Linux kernel

60
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:12,599
and apologize for his vulgar tirades against other Linux developers tolvard's

61
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:12,599
torovalds

62
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:19,120
torvald's behavior has been infamous in the Linux community for some time even

63
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,600
dismissing politeness as an american concept

64
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:28,479
really though like manners weren't a thing before 1776

65
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:32,320
apparently were you there no that's when america that's when america

66
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:35,919
broke out from pangaea some amazon employees might be in hot

67
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,759
water after reports revealed that some of them were accepting bribes from

68
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:43,520
amazon marketplace sellers to delete negative reviews and pass along

69
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:47,840
reviewers contact information the bribes are reportedly more prevalent in china

70
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:51,199
due to workers having lower salaries it's unclear how many marketplace

71
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:55,199
sellers have engaged in bribery but it may explain why some of their shipping

72
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:57,919
costs are so darn high but there's some better news on the

73
00:04:56,479 --> 00:05:02,160
amazon front too especially for residents of the windy city

74
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,759
the first amazon go location outside of seattle just opened up in the chicago

75
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,120
loop that's what the windy city refers to

76
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:13,120
as part of a larger push to get the cashier-less stores into more major

77
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,400
urban markets unfortunately it's not open on weekends but i bet they could

78
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:22,160
still make a killing during the lunch hour if they started offering grab-and-go deep dish pizza

79
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:27,840
is that a chicago thing this deep dish is that i thought new

80
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:29,280
york had the pizza i'm perplexed i

81
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:33,840
that's i'm the constant state of perplexity 15 european countries and

82
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,960
dependencies along with washington state in the us have signed off on a

83
00:05:35,039 --> 00:05:41,199
declaration to crack down on illicit gambling centered around video games

84
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:44,000
specifically the loot box problem the declaration also stated the game

85
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:47,600
developers are responsible for making sure their features do not run afoul of

86
00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:50,720
gambling laws and although the statement does not have the force of law it's a

87
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:56,000
signal we may see a number of jurisdictions pass actual restrictions

88
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:59,840
well that sound sounded like a wrap with similar effects to each other in

89
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:03,280
the near future imagine telling someone 10 years ago that governments were

90
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:07,520
legislating how you unlock content NVIDIA games i just thought that was

91
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,080
i just thought that was interesting you know

92
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:15,039
and if you live in the u.s keep an eye on your smartphones for a presidential

93
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:20,560
alert on wednesday october 3rd as fema will push out a national emergency alert

94
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:22,240
test the idea and it's a great idea is

95
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:26,880
to give the president the ability to reach the entire country quickly if

96
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:30,080
there's a major event of national impact but the white house hasn't indicated

97
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:34,880
whether they might also use the system to send out particularly spicy tweets i

98
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:38,479
hope this comes at like three in the morning you up

99
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:47,360
that's our show for today so come back on wednesday for more spicy tech news

100
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:52,919
that won't give you heartburn unless you have a bad reaction to eating

101
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,919
