WEBVTT

00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:08.080
am i in focus you just don't even care do you your

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

00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:16.480
as you're not dennis or the guy who runs the company you get to

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

00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:26.560
least i'm not the head of it at chip manufacturer tsmc which was hit hard

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:32.320
this weekend by a computer virus that was so bad they had to shut down their

00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:37.440
factories tsmc is one of the world's largest chip manufacturers and handles

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:40.079
fabrication for big names like NVIDIA

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

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:50.000
name as you could possibly think of that means that having this much downtime

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:51.920
could actually delay iphones and GeForce

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:57.039
graphics cards from hitting store shelves near you to make matters worse

00:00:54.800 --> 00:01:02.559
it appears that the virus got loose after someone at the company was just

00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:04.960
being careless while installing software

00:01:02.559 --> 00:01:08.920
tsmc though has been rather cagey about the specifics which makes me wonder if

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:12.920
someone was visiting uh unauthorized websites

00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:16.159
like linustechtips.com and also other ones

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

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:28.000
ripper chips has been announced who announces announcements who writes

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:33.439
this stuff anyway the new chips will be available in two products tiers each

00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:35.759
containing two different tiers no models

00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:40.720
excuse me models the x series will be marketed towards gamers and so-called

00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:45.439
enthusiasts i think that's just an industry code word for people with more

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:50.799
money than sense with 12 and 16 core skus while the wx series will be

00:01:48.479 --> 00:01:57.680
targeted at content creators and will be available with either 24 or 32 cores of

00:01:55.600 --> 00:02:03.119
course AMD is quick to point out that by virtue of having more cores than more

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:07.280
expensive Intel competitors they beat out team blue and multi-threaded

00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:10.800
applications for less money yet it should be noted that they will still lag

00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:14.800
behind Intel a bit when it comes to gaming it'll be interesting to see what

00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:19.200
independent benchmarks say when two of the chips are released later this month

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:22.800
with two more coming in october if you're a left-handed gamer you're

00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:27.680
probably familiar with how frustrating it can be for you to find a gaming mouse

00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:32.959
designed for lefties but razer is trying to give you another option by

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:35.360
crowdfunding a southpaw naga trinity

00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:39.519
which is geared towards mmo and moba players with an interchangeable side

00:02:37.519 --> 00:02:43.120
panel allowing the user to attach a different number of macro buttons

00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:46.640
depending on which game they're playing razer says they're using kickstarter to

00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:50.319
get the project off the ground because they're entirely out of that sweet

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:55.840
venture capital money no excuse me sorry they're saying because producing a left-handed mouse

00:02:53.680 --> 00:03:00.720
isn't as simple as flipping the original design really they're seeking nearly a

00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:04.400
million dollars by the end of august and so far less than 30 grand has been

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

00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:12.800
um don't exist because no one's no one's done it ambidextrous mice

00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:16.720
they're they're a middle middle-of-the-road solution i guess

00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:20.959
speaking of middle-of-the-road solutions pia will keep you private whether you're

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

00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:30.720
pia it's got servers in 28 countries to help you get around geo blocking they've

00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:34.239
got multiple options for strong encryption that keeps your data out of

00:03:32.239 --> 00:03:39.040

history and even pia mace a built-in

00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:44.879
tracker and malware blocker very effective against bears i heard so for a

00:03:43.519 --> 00:03:47.760
secure multi-platform browsing experience go check out pia at the link

00:03:46.799 --> 00:03:53.360
below dennis are you yawning back there the tech news is this boring today

00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:57.599
okay wait wait pay attention because i got something big if you've been in the

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

00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:06.799
because the prices of flash memory should continue to fall as the year goes

00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:11.360
on thanks to oversupply caused by relatively low demand for smartphones

00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:15.920
one analyst pointed out that this might be due to how similar current phones are

00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:21.759
to each other lowering consumer excitement i mean wasn't emoji enough

00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:24.720
for you it's got meme right in it on

00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:28.000
that subject the pixel 3 and pixel 3 xl from google look like they are just

00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:32.080
around the corner with a leaked advertisement revealing that the new

00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:36.720
phones will either be revealed or released for sale on october the 4th the

00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:42.320
leak was first spotted by youtuber brandon lee no not that one in an ad

00:04:40.080 --> 00:04:46.479
directed towards canadian creative wait wait a minute

00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:50.240
here's some good news for the cash strapped among you valve is going to

00:04:48.320 --> 00:04:54.400
start putting flash sales back on the steam platform it'll be up to the

00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:59.600
specific developer to determine how long any such sale would last with choices

00:04:56.479 --> 00:05:01.520
from 6 to 12 hours so we'll see whether

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

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:10.639
horrible feelings of buyer's remorse whenever we miss out finally so you know

00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:16.479
how facebook keeps making the news for data leaks well they now want to add

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:21.120
your banking information to their messenger app

00:05:19.039 --> 00:05:24.960
the idea is that messenger will be able to give account holders quick

00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:28.320
information such as account balances and fraud alerts through the app

00:05:27.280 --> 00:05:33.600
which does sound useful but i would hate for

00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:37.440
some shady analyst to use my savings balance to try and figure out who i'm

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

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

00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:50.720
in Android p stands for pi as was announced today alongside its

00:05:48.320 --> 00:05:53.919
release to pixel devices non-pixel phones will have to wait until later in

00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:58.400
the year to receive the update over the air and just in case you're wondering

00:05:56.080 --> 00:06:02.720
google is keeping with the dessert theme as an illustration from google shows the

00:06:00.320 --> 00:06:07.520
adorable Android mascot enjoying a slice of what's obviously cherry pie and not

00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:11.840
chicken pot pie unless those red lumps are actually

00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:15.280
chicken hearts or something which does seem possible

00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:19.120
anyway that's it for the news today so tune in wednesday for another serving of

00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:24.000
delicious chicken hearts i mean excuse me tack linked with both a golden brown

00:06:21.840 --> 00:06:28.560
crust and the savory filling that keeps you coming back for more dennis oh wait

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:31.800
that's just me isn't it more dennis
