00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:06.960
wow look at this weather beautiful day for tech news

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:06.960
i don't need this

00:00:08.559 --> 00:00:13.920
thanks james happy monday to all although i can't

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

00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:23.680
cards from NVIDIA who announced on their official forum that the GeForce rtx 2080

00:00:21.439 --> 00:00:27.840
ti would be delayed yeah i'm very angry fortunately the wait

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:32.239
shouldn't be super long as general availability has only been pushed back

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

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:40.800
the delay but with supply of the new flagship card already super scarce

00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:43.840
scarce i would have said constrained okay

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:48.879
super constrained it isn't terribly surprising however the rtx 2080 non-ti

00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:54.160
remains on schedule for general release on september 20th so the wait will be

00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:56.000
very short if you really feel compelled

00:00:54.160 --> 00:00:59.440
to be an early adopter let's just hope the reason for the delay

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

00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:07.520
more minute of my life without ray tracing when i'm on my deathbed stop i

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:10.400
don't wanna although it's been widely known for a while that samsung is

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:13.680
working on bringing a foldable smartphone to market which is also

00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:18.320
something that we all need in our lives asap right now yep well a new challenger

00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:21.680
has suddenly appeared huawei has reportedly thrown its hat into the ring

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

00:01:25.759 --> 00:01:30.799
been looking like samsung would be the first out of the gate but rumors have

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:35.439
been swirling that huawei's foldable phone could appear as soon as early next

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:39.439
year with huawei ceo richard yu confirming that such advice is less than

00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:42.640
a year away he went on to discuss the possibility of a fold-out device that

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:46.479
could serve as a replacement for a traditional pc monitor

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

00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:54.880
unfolds can you imagine having a pc where the

00:01:53.119 --> 00:01:58.880
monitor just falls out oh we have that that's a laptop oh

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:04.000
well if you're a sucker for retro gaming you'll probably be interested in these

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:07.759
nes style controllers that were just announced for the nintendo switch at

00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:12.160
first glance they look nearly identical to the original nes controllers from the

00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:15.280
1980s with the joy-con attachment on top being the only noticeable difference of

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:18.800
course this also means they won't be compatible with every switch game as

00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:25.599
some need the additional buttons and analog sticks and infrared sensors and

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:28.160
vehicles attachments

00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:31.760
for games they're meant to be used with a library

00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:35.840
of 20 nes games that will soon be appearing on nintendo switch online and

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

00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:45.840
dollars james the the same price is an entire nes classic but i somehow have

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:50.400
little doubt enough people will still be lining up to fork over their money

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:54.239
those guys those guys

00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:57.840

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

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

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:46.319
again there's an old saying that you'll catch more flies with honey than with

00:03:44.959 --> 00:03:51.599
vinegar i've never heard it but apparently Linus no not our Linus but

00:03:48.799 --> 00:03:57.599
the creator of Linux Linus created Linux yeah no not not our Linux not our Linux

00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:01.760
the other one the creator of Linux Linus finally appears to have gotten it as

00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:06.720
Linus torvalds has stated he's taking a break from maintaining the Linux kernel

00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:12.599
and apologize for his vulgar tirades against other Linux developers tolvard's

00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.599
torovalds

00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:19.120
torvald's behavior has been infamous in the Linux community for some time even

00:04:16.400 --> 00:04:21.600
dismissing politeness as an american concept

00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:28.479
really though like manners weren't a thing before 1776

00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:32.320
apparently were you there no that's when america that's when america

00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:35.919
broke out from pangaea some amazon employees might be in hot

00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:39.759
water after reports revealed that some of them were accepting bribes from

00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:43.520
amazon marketplace sellers to delete negative reviews and pass along

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:47.840
reviewers contact information the bribes are reportedly more prevalent in china

00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:51.199
due to workers having lower salaries it's unclear how many marketplace

00:04:49.520 --> 00:04:55.199
sellers have engaged in bribery but it may explain why some of their shipping

00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:57.919
costs are so darn high but there's some better news on the

00:04:56.479 --> 00:05:02.160
amazon front too especially for residents of the windy city

00:05:00.080 --> 00:05:05.759
the first amazon go location outside of seattle just opened up in the chicago

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:09.120
loop that's what the windy city refers to

00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:13.120
as part of a larger push to get the cashier-less stores into more major

00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:16.400
urban markets unfortunately it's not open on weekends but i bet they could

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

00:05:20.080 --> 00:05:27.840
is that a chicago thing this deep dish is that i thought new

00:05:24.320 --> 00:05:29.280
york had the pizza i'm perplexed i

00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:33.840
that's i'm the constant state of perplexity 15 european countries and

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:36.960
dependencies along with washington state in the us have signed off on a

00:05:35.039 --> 00:05:41.199
declaration to crack down on illicit gambling centered around video games

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:44.000
specifically the loot box problem the declaration also stated the game

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:47.600
developers are responsible for making sure their features do not run afoul of

00:05:45.919 --> 00:05:50.720
gambling laws and although the statement does not have the force of law it's a

00:05:49.520 --> 00:05:56.000
signal we may see a number of jurisdictions pass actual restrictions

00:05:53.520 --> 00:05:59.840
well that sound sounded like a wrap with similar effects to each other in

00:05:57.840 --> 00:06:03.280
the near future imagine telling someone 10 years ago that governments were

00:06:01.440 --> 00:06:07.520
legislating how you unlock content NVIDIA games i just thought that was

00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:10.080
i just thought that was interesting you know

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

00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:20.560
alert on wednesday october 3rd as fema will push out a national emergency alert

00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:22.240
test the idea and it's a great idea is

00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:26.880
to give the president the ability to reach the entire country quickly if

00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:30.080
there's a major event of national impact but the white house hasn't indicated

00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:34.880
whether they might also use the system to send out particularly spicy tweets i

00:06:33.520 --> 00:06:38.479
hope this comes at like three in the morning you up

00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:47.360
that's our show for today so come back on wednesday for more spicy tech news

00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:52.919
that won't give you heartburn unless you have a bad reaction to eating

00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.919
