1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:08,080
am i in focus you just don't even care do you your

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:12,160
face doesn't matter like this wow it's a holiday monday which means that as long

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:16,480
as you're not dennis or the guy who runs the company you get to

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:21,199
be at home but i'm here talking about tech news but hey it could be worse at

5
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:26,560
least i'm not the head of it at chip manufacturer tsmc which was hit hard

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:32,320
this weekend by a computer virus that was so bad they had to shut down their

7
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:37,440
factories tsmc is one of the world's largest chip manufacturers and handles

8
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:40,079
fabrication for big names like NVIDIA

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:44,160
and apple okay those are only like five and six digit names but but as big a

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:50,000
name as you could possibly think of that means that having this much downtime

11
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:51,920
could actually delay iphones and GeForce

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:57,039
graphics cards from hitting store shelves near you to make matters worse

13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:02,559
it appears that the virus got loose after someone at the company was just

14
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:04,960
being careless while installing software

15
00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:08,920
tsmc though has been rather cagey about the specifics which makes me wonder if

16
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:12,920
someone was visiting uh unauthorized websites

17
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,159
like linustechtips.com and also other ones

18
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:23,280
where you get viruses you don't get those there the official announcement for AMD's second generation thread

19
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:28,000
ripper chips has been announced who announces announcements who writes

20
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:33,439
this stuff anyway the new chips will be available in two products tiers each

21
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:35,759
containing two different tiers no models

22
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:40,720
excuse me models the x series will be marketed towards gamers and so-called

23
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:45,439
enthusiasts i think that's just an industry code word for people with more

24
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:50,799
money than sense with 12 and 16 core skus while the wx series will be

25
00:01:48,479 --> 00:01:57,680
targeted at content creators and will be available with either 24 or 32 cores of

26
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:03,119
course AMD is quick to point out that by virtue of having more cores than more

27
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:07,280
expensive Intel competitors they beat out team blue and multi-threaded

28
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:10,800
applications for less money yet it should be noted that they will still lag

29
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:14,800
behind Intel a bit when it comes to gaming it'll be interesting to see what

30
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:19,200
independent benchmarks say when two of the chips are released later this month

31
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,800
with two more coming in october if you're a left-handed gamer you're

32
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:27,680
probably familiar with how frustrating it can be for you to find a gaming mouse

33
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:32,959
designed for lefties but razer is trying to give you another option by

34
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:35,360
crowdfunding a southpaw naga trinity

35
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:39,519
which is geared towards mmo and moba players with an interchangeable side

36
00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:43,120
panel allowing the user to attach a different number of macro buttons

37
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,640
depending on which game they're playing razer says they're using kickstarter to

38
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:50,319
get the project off the ground because they're entirely out of that sweet

39
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:55,840
venture capital money no excuse me sorry they're saying because producing a left-handed mouse

40
00:02:53,680 --> 00:03:00,720
isn't as simple as flipping the original design really they're seeking nearly a

41
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:04,400
million dollars by the end of august and so far less than 30 grand has been

42
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:09,440
pledged so if you're a left-hander that had your heart set on this you clearly

43
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:12,800
um don't exist because no one's no one's done it ambidextrous mice

44
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,720
they're they're a middle middle-of-the-road solution i guess

45
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:20,959
speaking of middle-of-the-road solutions pia will keep you private whether you're

46
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:27,360
in your house or in the middle of the road with their vpn service that's right

47
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:30,720

tracker and malware blocker very effective against bears i heard so for a

52

secure multi-platform browsing experience go check out pia at the link

53
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:53,360
below dennis are you yawning back there the tech news is this boring today

54
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:57,599
okay wait wait pay attention because i got something big if you've been in the

55
00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:01,840
market for an SSD or a laptop with an SSD built in well you might be in luck

56
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:06,799
because the prices of flash memory should continue to fall as the year goes

57
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:11,360
on thanks to oversupply caused by relatively low demand for smartphones

58
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:15,920
one analyst pointed out that this might be due to how similar current phones are

59
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:21,759
to each other lowering consumer excitement i mean wasn't emoji enough

60
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:24,720
for you it's got meme right in it on

61
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:28,000
that subject the pixel 3 and pixel 3 xl from google look like they are just

62
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:32,080
around the corner with a leaked advertisement revealing that the new

63
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:36,720
phones will either be revealed or released for sale on october the 4th the

64
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:42,320
leak was first spotted by youtuber brandon lee no not that one in an ad

65
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:46,479
directed towards canadian creative wait wait a minute

66
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,240
here's some good news for the cash strapped among you valve is going to

67
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:54,400
start putting flash sales back on the steam platform it'll be up to the

68
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:59,600
specific developer to determine how long any such sale would last with choices

69
00:04:56,479 --> 00:05:01,520
from 6 to 12 hours so we'll see whether

70
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:05,600
this ends up being good for both gamers and vendors or if it'll just give us all

71
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:10,639
horrible feelings of buyer's remorse whenever we miss out finally so you know

72
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:16,479
how facebook keeps making the news for data leaks well they now want to add

73
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:21,120
your banking information to their messenger app

74
00:05:19,039 --> 00:05:24,960
the idea is that messenger will be able to give account holders quick

75
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:28,320
information such as account balances and fraud alerts through the app

76
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:33,600
which does sound useful but i would hate for

77
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:37,440
some shady analyst to use my savings balance to try and figure out who i'm

78
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,560
going to vote for so i'm not sure how actually i'm 100 sure how i feel about

79
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:45,840
this i will not be signing up for that wow and guess what it turns out that the p

80
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:50,720
in Android p stands for pi as was announced today alongside its

81
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:53,919
release to pixel devices non-pixel phones will have to wait until later in

82
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:58,400
the year to receive the update over the air and just in case you're wondering

83
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:02,720
google is keeping with the dessert theme as an illustration from google shows the

84
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:07,520
adorable Android mascot enjoying a slice of what's obviously cherry pie and not

85
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:11,840
chicken pot pie unless those red lumps are actually

86
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:15,280
chicken hearts or something which does seem possible

87
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:19,120
anyway that's it for the news today so tune in wednesday for another serving of

88
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:24,000
delicious chicken hearts i mean excuse me tack linked with both a golden brown

89
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:28,560
crust and the savory filling that keeps you coming back for more dennis oh wait

90
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,800
that's just me isn't it more dennis
