there will come a day when the tech news runs out
but it is not this day
sorry guys google kicked off their i o 2019 developer conference and let me
tell you they announced a lot of stuff too much even if there were such a thing
the pixel 3a it's real and it's pretty cool 399 usd a
headphone jack a big battery and everything good about the pixel camera
but with no waterproofing wireless charging daydream vr support or full
resolution google photos uploading does that sound right uh also no pixel visual
core oh do you know what that is we're gonna i'm
gonna miss it james reviewed the phone on LTT so go check that out next up
google's rebranding their google home line to google nest the home hub smart
display is now the nest hub and there's a bigger version the nest hub max with a
10 inch display and a camera for 229. we
got updates on Android q there's going to be a real dark theme with true blacks
apparently a focus mode to minimize distractions and better parental
controls across all google services but one thing that's super cool that i
haven't mentioned live captions it'll auto subtitle any
video on your phone in real time and should even work with video calls maps
and search are getting incognito modes and a new assistant-powered driving mode
will be activated by telling google let's drive
hi google shave smoothly
you're trying to say that without activating people's phones yeah sorry
guys speaking of the assistant it's getting supercharged with more
contextual abilities and faster responses duplex the ai powered
reservation service is extending its capabilities from booking restaurants to
all sorts of things like car rentals and movie tickets and pixel users should be
able to try out augmented reality walking directions in maps though i
guess that's us only right now because i haven't gotten it yet i have a pixel
so do you but perhaps some of the most interesting
news from i o is google's statements about how it's valuing users privacy
last week they announced the ability to have google auto delete your data from
the past 3 or 18 months and now they're pledging to limit the ability of
websites to inject cookies into chrome which helps companies track your
activity ceo sundar pichai also wrote an
op-ed in the new york times about how google does take your data but they're
really careful with it and you get all this great stuff yeah
and how iphones are too expensive for some reason that was in there too yeah
the company now has an entire plain language document on their store
detailing how they manage your data without confusing legal talk which is
great and i do trust them more than facebook i guess yeah probably yeah but
it also just seems to raise more questions which we can't get into here because we don't have time maybe the
next talk linked yeah okay real quick guys real quick
microsoft also had their developer conference earlier on monday builds 2019 it started
out with a really cool hololens 2 demo or at least it would have if it worked
properly it did not Windows 10 now has a dedicated terminal app complete with
support for multiple tabs color themes and emojis all things that sirius
command lined aficionados definitely wanted to be serious though what they
actually might have wanted is the full Linux kernel on Windows and they've got
that now so that's cool power toys the open source collection of utilities pro
users can use to tweak Windows 10 to their liking is coming back and
microsoft also announced a whole new collaborative developer platform called
fluid framework but more important than all that alexa on Windows 10 now has
voice support so you can use your pc like an amazon echo isn't that exciting
that's the whole reason i bought a Windows 10 pc

AMD has a navi based Radeon rx 3080 xt
graphics card set to come out this year that would match the performance of the
rtx 2070 for 330 u.s
but for a few reasons this rumor does not seem legit why am i telling you
about it then so that you know what's out there people will try to tell you
about gpus that don't exist stay in school don't take candy from strangers
or from weird looking people like james
i agree good advice baltimore has been besieged by the robin
hood ransomware which has caused the shutdown of much of the city's services
the police fire department and ems are operational but many other systems have
been shut down while authorities investigate the attack follows a similar
one last year that took down 9-1-1 services what did baltimore do to you
hackers jeez robin hood would never do that i know
samsung is emailing people who pre-ordered the galaxy fold to tell them
their pre-orders will be cancelled unless they choose to keep them active
the notice is a result of ftc regulations regarding pre-orders after
postponing the launch of the device samsung has not set a new ship date so
they can't keep pre-orders for something that may not actually arrive
that would be as silly as pre-ordering something in the first
place backing it kickstarter oh yeah
don't pre-order i mean kickstarter's different
kinda AMD is partnering with cray to build the
world's fastest supercomputer capable of 1.5 exa flops of performance
yeah the frontier as the behemoth will be
called will of course be powered by AMD epic processors and Radeon instinct
accelerators and will be delivered to the oak ridge national laboratory in
2021 but can it run
