00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,920
oh you like Tech news Well Tech news

2
00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:11,920
doesn't care what you think about it Tech news just is and there's a lesson

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:17,520
for all of us there Intel's next gen gaming graphics cards code named battle

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:20,000
mage could be alive after all a shipping

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:25,439
manifest spotted by Twitter user Joseph K 972 listed a product designated Intel

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:31,800
BMG b580 which is either the name of the

7
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:34,399
successor to Intel's Alchemy based a580

8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:38,920
or meaningless text the devil planted to deceive us but there are other signs

9
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:44,680
previously accurate leaker Golden Pig upgrade posted on WBO indicating Intel

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:50,559
would be at least demonstrating battle mage's performance in December and

11
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:54,600
others have agreed data Miner Tomas

12
00:00:50,559 --> 00:00:56,399
gonsky fueled Intel GPU rumors even more

13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:01:02,000
by spotting references to Intel's follow-up to battl Mage Celestial for

14
00:00:59,239 --> 00:01:06,520
now that's all these are rumors but they're encouraging given that recent

15
00:01:03,879 --> 00:01:11,360
comments by Intel CEO Pat gillinger made it sound like his company is getting out

16
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:15,200
of the discrete GPU game and even if it's not you might want to temper your

17
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:21,280
predictions people thought the first Arc gpus would take AMD and NVIDIA down a

18
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:23,600
notch and they were pretty good at

19
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:27,759
encoding video gaming got a lot better with driver updates but I'm going to get

20
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:30,560
ready for Intel to subvert expectations once again and launch a graphics card

21
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:36,360
for spreadsheet power users they don't have one yet just it's just for them

22
00:01:34,399 --> 00:01:41,240
announcing battle mage in December may help Intel avoid being overshadowed by

23
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:47,600
NVIDIA who's expected to reveal their RTX 50 Series gpus at CES in January

24
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:52,640
accordingly reports are emerging of RTX 40 series GPU stocks dwindling NVIDIA's

25
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:59,119
board partners are apparently shipping final Badges of the RTX 4080 super and

26
00:01:55,719 --> 00:02:00,479
4070 super while the 4060 might stick

27
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:06,680
around a little longer production of the China specific RTX

28
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:12,000
490d specially built to avoid us sanctions has apparently been done for

29
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:17,400
some time and with no desire to be subject to whatever sanctions the US

30
00:02:13,959 --> 00:02:19,319
decides to put on the RTX 50 Series PC

31
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:25,319
partner one of the world's largest graphics card manufacturers behind

32
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:29,239
Brands like Zotac in3d and

33
00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:31,400
manle with an ey has ironically cowardly

34
00:02:29,239 --> 00:02:35,879
fled from Hong Kong moving their headquarters to Singapore the US can't

35
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:39,720
sanction them there and if they show up to try they'll get arrested for chewing

36
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:43,959
their gum too loudly or something but is NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture

37
00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:48,040
underlying the RTX 50 Series ready for prime time after insisting that

38
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:53,080
corporate customers like Microsoft and meta use NVIDIA's in-house server rack

39
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:57,680
design instead of building their own the company's Blackwell data center gpus

40
00:02:55,640 --> 00:03:03,239
have apparently been overheating reportedly due to that very inh house

41
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,440
design being unable to properly cool 72

42
00:03:03,239 --> 00:03:09,159
chips at once but I'm sure those overheating issues won't carry through

43
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:13,599
to NVIDIA's famously well- cooled Flagship gaming gpus that have barely

44
00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:17,879
had any heat related issues except for all the times you're thinking of Google

45
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:23,280
is reportedly planning to slowly replace Chrome OS with the Android operating

46
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:27,640
system taking over Chromebooks from the inside out like Corps fungus

47
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:31,519
assimilating an ant which is always discomforting to see poor ants

48
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:38,080
thankfully no one cares about Chromebooks which is partially why Google has been explicitly planning to

49
00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:42,920
do this since June but an Insider source told Android authority that this

50
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:45,799
chromeos Android hybridization is

51
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:50,799
turning into full Android assimilation meaning we're looking at a future full

52
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:53,000
of Android laptops Google sources also

53
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:58,599
told Android authority that a new pixel tablet 2 is on the way with a keyboard

54
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:01,680
case and Android headline says their

55
00:03:58,599 --> 00:04:04,319
Insider source them off to a high-end

56
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:09,760
pixel laptop with a premium build code named snowy being developed at Google

57
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:13,560
neither Outlet confirmed whether their Google sources were friends and perhaps

58
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:17,560
often had free lunch together in the Google cafeteria because that's

59
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:22,040
irrelevant to anyone but me if this news about Android laptops is relevant to you

60
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:26,000
I guess you can go build a risk 5 powered framework laptop with a new main

61
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,960
board is that what you're looking for or maybe you're looking for our sponsor

62
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:36,199
charge their ice mag 2 portable battery bank is so cool it has two cooling

63
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:40,400
systems an active cooling fan plus passive cooling through its aluminum

64
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:44,400
alloy back plate that means it stays chill while delivering 15 watts of ch2

65
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:48,400
wireless charging and it's even compatible with mag safe for iPhones so

66
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:52,720
you can set it and forget it on your desk using the multi-angle foldable

67
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:57,479
kickstand the ice mag 2 can charge another device at the same time at 30

68
00:04:54,639 --> 00:05:02,639
Watts over USBC or use pass through charging to keep its 10,000 Milah

69
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:07,800
capacity topped up plus its transparent design with Dynamic RGB lighting looks

70
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:12,440
so cool even Airlines approve of it so check out the charge ice mag 2 at the

71
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:16,400
link in the description now quick bits absolutely care what you think about

72
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:22,360
them but they will never admit that valve added support for NVIDIA's dlss 3

73
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:27,400
with frame generation and Optical flow AI to the experimental version of its

74
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:31,479
proton compatibility layer last week as well as adding playable status for a

75
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:36,720
slute of new games and fixes for games like Doom maternal Jedi Outcast and most

76
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:41,360
importantly Skull and Bones dlss support means Linux Gamers with NVIDIA graphics

77
00:05:38,919 --> 00:05:45,160
cards have one less technical issue to spend inordinate amounts of time trying

78
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:49,240
to solve although I'm not sure whether that's what they actually want this

79
00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:53,840
might be bad news for them Microsoft's new marketing campaign is in full swing

80
00:05:51,680 --> 00:06:00,360
which consists almost entirely of showing devices that are obviously not

81
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,840
an Xbox and saying defiantly this is an

82
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:09,000
Xbox some people have taken this to mean there won't be any more Xbox Xboxes but

83
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:14,039
Phil Spencer told Rolling Stone that there will definitely be future consoles

84
00:06:11,919 --> 00:06:17,199
called Xbox it's just hard to know exactly what he means by that when

85
00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:24,720
there's now Billboards everywhere calling a laptop an Xbox for your lap

86
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:27,720
cringe replies Twitter user volt dweller

87
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,720
that is not an Xbox that is a laptop you

88
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:35,960
can't pull the wool over these eyes I know what an Xbox is I am not an

89
00:06:32,919 --> 00:06:38,919
Xbox much of the internet has celebrated

90
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:45,120
casio's newest device which gear Patrol says belongs to a burgeoning watch Trend

91
00:06:42,599 --> 00:06:49,240
which is I guess making watches for your finger and it's honestly fair to call it

92
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:55,759
a trend at this point because casio's ring watch comes shortly after timx also

93
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,680
launched a frankly much uglier one I'm I

94
00:06:55,759 --> 00:07:03,039
don't I'm sorry timx that's right casio's crw

95
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:05,759
0011 Jr is a ring that looks like a

96
00:07:03,039 --> 00:07:09,879
watch and is actually also a watch complete with alarms and a stopwatch

97
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:15,080
function unlike the Rings they released last year that resembled but were not

98
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:21,479
actually watches I have to imagine volt Diller was also mad about that this is

99
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:23,680
not a watch who watches those not me AI

100
00:07:21,479 --> 00:07:28,000
search company perplexity is trying a new way to make themselves useful now

101
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:33,120
the llm powered service can apparently be trusted to buy stuff for you or at

102
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:37,759
least for perplexity Pro subscribers said subscribers can click the new buy

103
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:41,240
with Pro button to have the AI automatically fill in your saved

104
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:45,479
shipping and billing information and check out with select products from

105
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:50,960
select Merchants which perplexity says just made shopping online 10 times more

106
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:54,520
easy and fun and I would like to see the math on that so you're thinking

107
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:58,720
perplexities got to be taking a cut of these sales right but a spokesperson

108
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:04,039
told The Verge that they don't and that right now quote there's no commercial

109
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:06,400
element involved here they're just so

110
00:08:04,039 --> 00:08:10,560
passionate about shopping the AI got you chicken thighs instead of a toothbrush

111
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:15,520
worth it what a thrill and to celebrate halflife 2's 20th anniversary valve

112
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:19,360
released a freaking 2hour documentary about the project revealing some

113
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:25,240
interesting details about why the Cliffhanger ending of halflife 2 episode

114
00:08:21,879 --> 00:08:27,800
2 wasn't carried on within episode 3

115
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:31,479
Lord Gabe Newell himself explained that although they quote could have shipped

116
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:36,080
it it wouldn't have been that hard continuing the story just to finish it

117
00:08:33,560 --> 00:08:40,839
would be quote copping out of their obligation to Gamers to provide some

118
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:45,800
meaningful gameplay Innovation and can I just say no Gabe went on to say he

119
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:50,120
couldn't figure out why doing episode 3 was pushing anything forward the story

120
00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:54,480
it be pushing the story forward I want to know Gabe throw a reverse gravity gun

121
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:58,200
in there or something just finish the story anyways I better tell you to come

122
00:08:56,680 --> 00:09:03,000
back on Wednesday for more Tech news before I say anything to the Lord of PC

123
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:07,920
gaming that I might regret you do not want to mess with anyone with wraparound

124
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:12,120
prescription glasses that he looks in that he could do something bad and

125
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,120
they're not even Oakley they're Nikes it's another level
