day i mean three times a week it's time
for TechLinked
what in the mother loving f is Intel doing right now last week they announced
their seven nanometer processors would be delayed which is sad but turns out
it's more than that the company's chief engineering officer dr murthy rendu
chintala i did my best is leaving the company in
the wake of the announcement and his division is being split up into five
parts run by other Intel executives a law firm has started an investigation of
the delay that could lead to a class action on behalf of investors who are
accusing Intel of defrauding them it's some wild stuff but even more questions
are being raised about Intel turning to tsmc to manufacture chips instead of
making them in-house tsmc isn't building out extra capacity for Intel's orders
leading some to speculate that Intel is trying to take some of tsmc's bandwidth
away from AMD in a last-ditch attempt to
afflict team red with the same supply shortages that have plagued team blue i
drink your milkshake exactly that's very
applicable if the plan works though partnering with tsmc might just be the
shot in the ARM Intel needs i drink it since Intel's 10 nanometer and seven
nanometer processes are apparently similar to tsmc's six nanometer and five
nanometer processes respectively turns out it's kind of hard to differentiate
between nanometer scale things like the ten nanometer five nanometer which one
is which they're both disappointing to
your mom oh no mark zuckerberg sundar pichai jeff bezos
and tim apple walk into a bar and you'll never guess what happens next
they're the ceos of facebook google amazon and cook respectively have been
at the time of writing in a congressional hearing for four hours to
answer questions on their company's monopolistic practices yesterday the
ceos each released their opening statements saying of course we're not
monopolies look at all the good stuff we're doing we're using renewable energy
come on sundar faced questions about preferential treatment in google search
algorithms jeff got grilled on amazon's tendency to harvest seller data and use
it to create competing products but mark maybe had it the worst he always does
the house committee got their hands on some of zuckerberg's emails which
basically show him talking about the decision to buy instagram specifically
because they could compete with facebook which is
illegal tiktok meanwhile who are facing government pressures of their own thanks
to the fact that they're owned by chinese mega giant 10 cent took the
opportunity to publish information on how the platform's algorithms moderation
policies and data handling works see
china's platform isn't evil it's those american ones that are actually i'll
take option c all of the above wait they're all evil always have been
it's the meme you know
and for some specific evidence of google's maybe not evil but
general suckiness they just forced a company that they bought to brick its
own products north the company behind the focal smart glasses announced their
acquisition by google last month north was working on focals 2.0 at the time
which was cancelled fair enough but google apparently also decided that the
first iteration of vocals that's out there in the world right now will just
stop working after july 31st a statement by north says users won't be able to
connect to their glasses through the app or use any features abilities or
experiments the app will also be removed from the play store and app store now
focals owners will get full refunds for their trouble but it's definitely a
weird and seemingly unnecessary step for google to take unless they're planning
on launching new ar glasses of their own soon which maybe they are oh i'm gonna
pre-order those asap i love you google and your products what's that i hear a

it's quick bits time now konami the video game developer has announced a
line of pre-built gaming pcs exclusive to japan called
aries pear r r spear
however you pronounce the name they're ridiculously overpriced at about two
times what you would pay for a similar build but i guess if you're like a huge
konami fan i guess this is what happens when your
heart and soul leaves hideo kojima christopher nolan's tenant
will get an international release on august 26th rather than waiting for the
us's covid management to improve the movie is set to release in america on
september 3rd and in addition amc and universal have announced an agreement
that will shorten the amount of time that movies have to play in theaters before being released online to just 17
days down from the previous typical exclusivity window of 70 to 90 days

600 blowing even its low light champion predecessors out of the water it's also
3 500 for the camera body which is 400 cheaper than its closest rivals the

feel like i know exactly how the naming process went
well it's it's it's sort of buzzy and uh
