1
00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:06,279
okay it's time for serious Tech

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:11,040
news it's serious

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:16,199
stop an Intel press release dropped this morning suddenly announcing CEO Pat

4
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:21,920
gelsinger's retirement after less than four years in the position with some

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:24,800
real Mafia energy Mr Ginger is currently

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:29,759
resting but he sends his regards no fur the questions Insider sources told

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:34,680
Bloomberg and Reuters that Intel's Board of directors weren't happy it was taking

8
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:38,920
so long for gelsinger to turn the ship around after years of previous

9
00:00:36,879 --> 00:00:44,960
Executives continually breaking off the rudder so they gave him a choice to step

10
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,960
down or be forced out so it makes sense

11
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:52,039
why ginger is also stepping down from the board the vibe would be super

12
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:56,800
awkward according to an Insider Source I just made up some are theorizing Pat was

13
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:01,440
spending too much money to fix the company's issues which angered

14
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:06,439
shareholders the board would prefer to hire a new guy to try and fix things in

15
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:11,280
less than 4 years maybe try taking away free coffee again I I don't know or

16
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:16,880
maybe Intel's upcoming Arc Gen 2 Gaming gpus will help the company confirmed a

17
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:20,880
reveal tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. eastern to officially divulge whether all of those

18
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:25,720
leaks were real including the one from the weekend where the funky kit show

19
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:32,119
casually broke embargo to show off an arc b580 and this other one showing the

20
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:34,520
b570 with 10 gigabytes of vram I hope

21
00:01:32,119 --> 00:01:39,399
old Pat took the new gpus home with him and he's got a lot of time to game now I

22
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:44,840
was this close to making of my other dad NZXT Flex program which rents out PCS

23
00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:50,079
for a monthly subscription has been called a scam for engaging in

24
00:01:47,399 --> 00:01:54,799
manipulative bait and switch tactics by YouTube channel Gamers Nexus who I've

25
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:59,880
never heard of it's more than Flex just being a bad deal though gn's hourlong

26
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:06,360
video highlights things like NZXT off offering a named build like the player 3

27
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:09,879
PC which has an RTX 470 TI super if you

28
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:11,879
buy it but an RTX 470 nons super if you

29
00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:16,920
rent it yet the performance of the two configurations is presented as the same

30
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:21,879
so many people wouldn't catch this our TechLink analysts have assured me that I

31
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:26,640
probably would though NZXT is also accused of changing subscription prices

32
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:31,360
sometimes every day and jacking up prices for customers a few months in

33
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:35,400
NZXT has resp responded saying they are aware of the recent claims made against

34
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:40,080
us and are actively reviewing the situation although I hope that the fact

35
00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:45,360
that you can build your own PC with less than a Year's worth of flex monthly

36
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:47,920
payments isn't a recent claim

37
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:53,519
what well that's news to me I mean why why are we doing this that's ncxt by the

38
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:56,519
way blizzard is forcing game store GG to

39
00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:59,319
delist the original versions of Warcraft

40
00:02:56,519 --> 00:03:04,239
1 and 2 because blizzard just launched remas mastered versions of those on

41
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:08,680
Battle.net so why would you ever need to buy both Originals for 15 bucks or 13

42
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:13,280
bucks with the discount code make Warcraft live

43
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,239
forever well Gog says one reason is that

44
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,840
you'll get an offline installer so you don't have to wake up one day to find a

45
00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:23,319
blizzard exec took away your game because he doesn't like you Go's also

46
00:03:21,239 --> 00:03:27,879
tweaked the code themselves improving performance and adding support for high

47
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:32,720
resolutions and upscaling and they added Warcraft 1 and two to their go

48
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:37,439
preservation program promising to update the game so it stays compatible with

49
00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:42,799
modern and future systems even after it's delisted on December 13th they're

50
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:47,760
fixing other people's games now if that's not in the spirit of Zug Zug I

51
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:52,519
don't know what is oh another one might be our sponsor the drop plus the Lord of

52

with a 10 keyless layout and holy Panda X switches you can type foul things in

56
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:19,479
darkness or turn on the white backlight and if you like the nine Kings of Men

I it's great quick bits though are no

63
00:04:41,479 --> 00:04:49,880
joke I tried to make them laugh once I barely escaped leaks for new radon gpus

64
00:04:46,919 --> 00:04:52,720
from AMD are also starting to pop up in case you thought they were going to let

65
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:58,160
Intel and NVIDIA have all the fun for the next few months the Radeon 8800 XT

66
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:02,560
is about to enter mass production so it's expected to launch in early 2025

67
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:09,639
with Ray tracing performance similar to the RTX 480 and better than the RX 7900x

68
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:14,639
while using 25% less power that's all according to a couple of reliable

69
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:17,600
leakers on the chipal forums named Jang

70
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:23,280
Jang how and wjm 47196 Titans in the industry Microsoft

71
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:28,759
is getting real serious about making you Windows 10 using mother upgrade to

72
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:33,440
Windows 11 already tweaking a help page for surface device and updating hundreds

73
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:38,280
of other support documents with banners and notices saying essentially hey you

74
00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:42,680
got less than a year until Windows 10 loses support quit screwing around no

75
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:47,960
doubt Microsoft is aware that market share for Windows 11 actually dipped

76
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:51,680
this month losing some ground to Windows 10 I don't know it's like throwing an ad

77
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:56,280
in people's faces when they start up their PC makes them not want to listen

78
00:05:54,039 --> 00:06:01,759
to it I I know Microsoft I'm as confused as you are open source router project

79
00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:03,759
open wrt has offered custom firmware for

80
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:08,759
ages but now they'll be offering their own Hardware in collaboration with the

81
00:06:06,599 --> 00:06:13,479
software Freedom Conservancy an organization that may not actually let

82
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:16,639
deprecated apps like notepad roam free on a big stretch of grassy land

83
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:20,960
somewhere but I'm going to imagine they do anyway the open wrt router and its

84
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:26,240
specs were actually announced back in January with an almost unbrick design

85
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:29,840
and you can get it as just a board or with a case and everything I'm guessing

86
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:33,240
it's the best thing you can buy on AliExpress that's the only place you can

87
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:39,639
get it I don't know why apple is being sued by Amar Baka a current Apple

88
00:06:36,599 --> 00:06:42,080
employee of 4 years for spying on its

89
00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:45,759
staff through work-related and personal devices it's not the first time an

90
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:50,960
employee has expressed concern over Apple's surveillance of its own workers

91
00:06:48,039 --> 00:06:55,919
in 2021 Jacob Preston took issue with apple requiring him to sign into certain

92
00:06:53,360 --> 00:07:00,360
work rated services using his personal Apple ID it comes across a bit

93
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:03,840
hypocritical when Apple touts their commitment to privacy as a

94
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:08,160
differentiator compared to other Tech Giants but it makes more sense when you

95
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:13,199
think about it like this consumer privacy just depends on employees not

96
00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:19,120
having any is that hard to understand and an AI startup called World Labs has

97
00:07:16,039 --> 00:07:21,479
released demos of 3D worlds it says can

98
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:25,680
be generated from a single image and navigated like a video game it's just a

99
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:30,240
video game where you can only move about 2 feet in any direction but that's just

100
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:34,479
the Prototype World lab says things will get more immersive since instead of

101
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:39,440
using generative AI to predict pixels they're predicting an actual depth map

102
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:41,840
of a 3D space is this just procedural

103
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:47,240
generation is this just no man's Sky again oh man I can't wait to jump into

104
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:52,199
some AI generated 3D worlds and explore every nook and cranny to find all the

105
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:56,319
fun things the developers left for me oh I'll leave you with a reminder to come

106
00:07:54,039 --> 00:08:01,319
on back on Wednesday for more Tech news so you can keep your mind sharp after

107
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:06,479
all brain rot is apparently the Oxford word of the year for 2024 we can do

108
00:08:03,919 --> 00:08:06,479
better
