00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:06.279
okay it's time for serious Tech

00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:11.040
news it's serious

00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:16.199
stop an Intel press release dropped this morning suddenly announcing CEO Pat

00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:21.920
gelsinger's retirement after less than four years in the position with some

00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:24.800
real Mafia energy Mr Ginger is currently

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:29.759
resting but he sends his regards no fur the questions Insider sources told

00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:34.680
Bloomberg and Reuters that Intel's Board of directors weren't happy it was taking

00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:38.920
so long for gelsinger to turn the ship around after years of previous

00:00:36.879 --> 00:00:44.960
Executives continually breaking off the rudder so they gave him a choice to step

00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:46.960
down or be forced out so it makes sense

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:52.039
why ginger is also stepping down from the board the vibe would be super

00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:56.800
awkward according to an Insider Source I just made up some are theorizing Pat was

00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:01.440
spending too much money to fix the company's issues which angered

00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:06.439
shareholders the board would prefer to hire a new guy to try and fix things in

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

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:16.880
maybe Intel's upcoming Arc Gen 2 Gaming gpus will help the company confirmed a

00:01:13.960 --> 00:01:20.880
reveal tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. eastern to officially divulge whether all of those

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:25.720
leaks were real including the one from the weekend where the funky kit show

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:32.119
casually broke embargo to show off an arc b580 and this other one showing the

00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:34.520
b570 with 10 gigabytes of vram I hope

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

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:44.840
was this close to making of my other dad NZXT Flex program which rents out PCS

00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:50.079
for a monthly subscription has been called a scam for engaging in

00:01:47.399 --> 00:01:54.799
manipulative bait and switch tactics by YouTube channel Gamers Nexus who I've

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

00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:06.360
video highlights things like NZXT off offering a named build like the player 3

00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:09.879
PC which has an RTX 470 TI super if you

00:02:06.360 --> 00:02:11.879
buy it but an RTX 470 nons super if you

00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:16.920
rent it yet the performance of the two configurations is presented as the same

00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:21.879
so many people wouldn't catch this our TechLink analysts have assured me that I

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:26.640
probably would though NZXT is also accused of changing subscription prices

00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:31.360
sometimes every day and jacking up prices for customers a few months in

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:35.400
NZXT has resp responded saying they are aware of the recent claims made against

00:02:33.440 --> 00:02:40.080
us and are actively reviewing the situation although I hope that the fact

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

00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:47.920
payments isn't a recent claim

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

00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:56.519
way blizzard is forcing game store GG to

00:02:53.519 --> 00:02:59.319
delist the original versions of Warcraft

00:02:56.519 --> 00:03:04.239
1 and 2 because blizzard just launched remas mastered versions of those on

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

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:13.280
bucks with the discount code make Warcraft live

00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:15.239
forever well Gog says one reason is that

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

00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:23.319
blizzard exec took away your game because he doesn't like you Go's also

00:03:21.239 --> 00:03:27.879
tweaked the code themselves improving performance and adding support for high

00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:32.720
resolutions and upscaling and they added Warcraft 1 and two to their go

00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:37.439
preservation program promising to update the game so it stays compatible with

00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:42.799
modern and future systems even after it's delisted on December 13th they're

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

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

00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:58.760

drops mt3 black speech key caps so you

00:03:58.760 --> 00:04:07.439
can act like even more of a cave troll online in a good way a in a good way

00:04:04.799 --> 00:04:13.200
with a 10 keyless layout and holy Panda X switches you can type foul things in

00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:19.479
darkness or turn on the white backlight and if you like the nine Kings of Men

00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:22.280

00:04:37.880 --> 00:04:44.039
I it's great quick bits though are no

00:04:41.479 --> 00:04:49.880
joke I tried to make them laugh once I barely escaped leaks for new radon gpus

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

00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:58.160
Intel and NVIDIA have all the fun for the next few months the Radeon 8800 XT

00:04:56.080 --> 00:05:02.560
is about to enter mass production so it's expected to launch in early 2025

00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:09.639
with Ray tracing performance similar to the RTX 480 and better than the RX 7900x

00:05:06.840 --> 00:05:14.639
while using 25% less power that's all according to a couple of reliable

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:17.600
leakers on the chipal forums named Jang

00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:23.280
Jang how and wjm 47196 Titans in the industry Microsoft

00:05:20.840 --> 00:05:28.759
is getting real serious about making you Windows 10 using mother upgrade to

00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:33.440
Windows 11 already tweaking a help page for surface device and updating hundreds

00:05:31.080 --> 00:05:38.280
of other support documents with banners and notices saying essentially hey you

00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:42.680
got less than a year until Windows 10 loses support quit screwing around no

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:47.960
doubt Microsoft is aware that market share for Windows 11 actually dipped

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

00:05:49.960 --> 00:05:56.280
in people's faces when they start up their PC makes them not want to listen

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

00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:03.759
open wrt has offered custom firmware for

00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:08.759
ages but now they'll be offering their own Hardware in collaboration with the

00:06:06.599 --> 00:06:13.479
software Freedom Conservancy an organization that may not actually let

00:06:11.080 --> 00:06:16.639
deprecated apps like notepad roam free on a big stretch of grassy land

00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:20.960
somewhere but I'm going to imagine they do anyway the open wrt router and its

00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:26.240
specs were actually announced back in January with an almost unbrick design

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

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

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

00:06:36.599 --> 00:06:42.080
employee of 4 years for spying on its

00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:45.759
staff through work-related and personal devices it's not the first time an

00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:50.960
employee has expressed concern over Apple's surveillance of its own workers

00:06:48.039 --> 00:06:55.919
in 2021 Jacob Preston took issue with apple requiring him to sign into certain

00:06:53.360 --> 00:07:00.360
work rated services using his personal Apple ID it comes across a bit

00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:03.840
hypocritical when Apple touts their commitment to privacy as a

00:07:02.080 --> 00:07:08.160
differentiator compared to other Tech Giants but it makes more sense when you

00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:13.199
think about it like this consumer privacy just depends on employees not

00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:19.120
having any is that hard to understand and an AI startup called World Labs has

00:07:16.039 --> 00:07:21.479
released demos of 3D worlds it says can

00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:25.680
be generated from a single image and navigated like a video game it's just a

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

00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:34.479
the Prototype World lab says things will get more immersive since instead of

00:07:32.080 --> 00:07:39.440
using generative AI to predict pixels they're predicting an actual depth map

00:07:36.440 --> 00:07:41.840
of a 3D space is this just procedural

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

00:07:44.280 --> 00:07:52.199
some AI generated 3D worlds and explore every nook and cranny to find all the

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

00:07:54.039 --> 00:08:01.319
on back on Wednesday for more Tech news so you can keep your mind sharp after

00:07:58.520 --> 00:08:06.479
all brain rot is apparently the Oxford word of the year for 2024 we can do

00:08:03.919 --> 00:08:06.479
better
