happy thanksgiving yeah canadian thanksgiving is a month before america's
we had you know like we had different pilgrims arrived a month early had
beaver instead of turkey there's a few differences those rumors a few weeks
back about NVIDIA releasing an rtx 3090 super were apparently wrong so what's
NVIDIA actually doing producing more stock of budget and mid-tier cards for
hungry gamers oh no no it's just the name that was wrong
okay that rumored card is actually going to be the rtx 3090 ti ti not super it's
very very different this is all according to leaked specs which claim
the 3090 ti will unsurprisingly feature massive performance thanks to more cores
a 450 watt TDP that's 100 watts more
than the 30 90 and a pci express 5.0
power connector capable of delivering up to 600 watts
the leaked information indicates a january launch no pricing info yet but i
wouldn't worry too much about all that as i'm pretty sure you'd need to sell
some vital organs in order to get one please do not do this we don't need
people selling body parts epic games appealed the judge's ruling in their
lawsuit against apple almost as soon as it came out but apple actually seemed
pretty happy with it they described it as a resounding victory well cupertino's
had a while to think about the ramifications of the ruling which requires apple to allow app developers
to include buttons or links to alternative payment methods and the
company has now decided you know you know what we're all we're
all appealing you guys you guys appealing you appealing emily
okay the new policy was supposed to take effect december 9th but apple's claiming
that's not enough time to work through the complex and rapidly evolving legal
technological and economic issues at play here it's a button apple just
just let them put a button in to be fair though because the judge did largely
affirm apple's vision of the app store even if apple ends up allowing those
third-party payment options they might be entitled to a cut of the payment
anyways making the whole thing very confusing and yes i'm making a tech
longer about this it's just taking a very long time this
is the names hey more google pixel 6 leaks this time
word is spreading about a pixel pass subscription that not only would include
the phone itself but a bundle of google services youtube premium playpass and
google one with the latter including perks like extra cloud storage and
advanced photo editing subscribers would also get an extended warranty and the
possibility of annual hardware upgrades that way google gets more monthly
revenue and makes it more difficult for people to switch phones which i guess is
a good thing for google the news comes after more
leaks from this is tech today claiming the pixel 6 will be more of a value
phone at an msrp around 750 us dollars
while the 6 pro will go for one thousand and forty dollars there's only one week
to go until google's official reveal making it a race against time to see who
will reveal everything about the phones first at this point it's like the
marriage has already happened and that event will just be signing the
certificate which is kind of fun but it's like

sony and taiwan's tsmc are thinking about taking their relationship to the
next level and building a chip fab together in japan which would be
subsidized by the japanese government sony doesn't think the chip shortage is
going to be over until 2023 at the earliest so having that additional
capacity in japan would be helpful in case the geopolitical showdown between
china taiwan and the us somehow affects tsmc's operations in taiwan itself i'm
guessing none of those powers are going to be invited to the wedding this is an
elopement that's what this is chipmaker ampere has announced the successor to
their ultra line of ARM-based enterprise processors the new ultra max m12830 with
a whopping 128 cores seems to obliterate
AMD's and Intel's competing chips and cloud computing workloads but in other
memory intensive situations it actually does worse so while ARM chips are
gaining ground you might want to wait a bit before you install one of these in your server farm that you statistically
don't own china's crypto crackdown has no end in sight as the country may soon
implement restrictions or bans on investing in cryptocurrency mining in
addition to its existing ban on mining itself but the good news for investors
is that bitcoin is still surging at the moment despite china's anti-crypto
maneuvers because technology is only cool when it lets you control people
more facial recognition great install it everywhere blockchain stuff gross

disorders users will be nudged to look at something else or to just take a
break from the platform completely apparently using the incredibly
successful don't do drugs campaigns from the 90s posting carefully curated
pictures of the fancy hotel i'm staying in on my vacation nah
i'm good thanks and do you remember sony's play-at-home
campaign last year which gave away free games during the height of the pandemic
sony recently revealed that over 60 million games were handed out without
cost to playstation owners of course it's pretty clearly a strategy to build
goodwill towards the playstation brand but on the other hand
free games that's it for this episode guys come back on wednesday for more
tech news that is if you're not still knocked unconscious from all that
delicious turkey and beaver mash don't eat beaver
