oh you came back
you'll come back next time discord the
awesome chat app beloved by gamers everywhere and lots of other people too
you don't own it james other people can like it
is reportedly in acquisition talks with several potential buyers and the word is
that microsoft is one of them sources within discord apparently told
venturebeat that microsoft may complete the purchase for 10 billion
or more although bloomberg sources add that while discord actually reached out
to microsoft first it's more likely to go public than sell itself which i'm
sure most of us would actually prefer wait no i want them to get rid of teams
they'll just switch it out gamers will start using teams and then now the last
big chat app microsoft bought was skype back in 2011 and now
skype sucks i can almost see phil spencer standing
on an e3 stage talking about how awesome it is that all of discord's cool
features are now available right from the Windows 10 xbox app so convenient
that's not awesome phil also e3
come on what is this 2019
a time when we could go to things
it's all about ltx now wait the global chip shortage is getting worse not
better so much so that some analysts are calling the situation a straight up
crisis in part because raw material suppliers slowed down production last
year in preparation for kovid not anticipating that demand would actually
skyrocket people like staying inside and playing games
what the situation has been made worse by a fire at a japanese chip
manufacturing facility owned by renee sauce
is that a pun on renaissance anyways they're one of the car industry's
biggest chip suppliers as you no doubt know street prices of pc components like
gpus have skyrocketed a trend that is set to only get worse as companies like
MSI announce price hikes as a result of low supply meanwhile leakers claim
NVIDIA is planning to release a high-end ampere-powered crypto mining card that
can hit 210 mega hatches per second double the performance of the rtx 30 90.
this is not looking good guys NVIDIA your mining card didn't work put that
GPU in a gaming card you know what give that to me give it
your pills and apple has kind of failed to read the
room by blocking updates for the proton vpn app in an email apple told proton
that their app's description breaks app store guidelines about bypassing geo
restrictions here's the offending portion whether it is challenging
governments educating the public or training journalists we have a long
history of helping to bring online freedom to more people around the world
seems accurate given that the un has recommended protons apps as a way for
the citizens of myanmar to get around the severe internet restrictions placed
by the military after they staged a coup apple hates that
oh that's not um you're breaking the law
it's extra weird because proton says the offending excerpt has been in its app
description for months before apple started blocking proton vpn's updates
you know what this means apple you got to let fortnite back on iphones

Intel's doubling down on manufacturing their own chips in a live stream
yesterday the company's new engineer ceo pat gelsinger said they're putting 20
billion dollars towards a new foundry facility in arizona Intel's so confident
they're going to turn things around they're even bringing back the tick tock
manufacturing model i hope they don't confuse it with the other tick tock
although pat does look like he's hiding some sick dance moves under that suit
it looks like he could get down show me your moves oneplus has announced
the oneplus 9 and 9 pro with hasselblad branded cameras and hefty price tags
only slightly cheaper than samsung's galaxy s21
you either die the flagship killer or live long enough to see yourself become
the flagship but wait there's a oneplus 9r without the hassle bladness and more
reasonable features in price but it's only available in india that doesn't
help me i hate you again
the so-called nintendo switch pro has been rumored for ages now with most
leaks claiming that the device would feature an OLED display and 4k output
while docked we've heard it all before i'm bored but fresh leaks support those
claims and add that the new switch may be powered by a chip built on NVIDIA's
upcoming lovelace architecture
with that 4k support enabled by dlss upscaling technologies apple makes a
switch apple could make a switch but you know they're not making a switch you
know who is qualcomm maybe qualcomm will be nintendo to the punch with their
rumored Android-powered switch knockoff device complete with detachable joy-con
controllers if this is real i'll actually be quite excited because when
we installed Android on the company switch i loved it and you can't do that
with newer switches because they don't have the special vulnerability you can make take
advantage of so this would be really cool james wouldn't you say snap oh
and xbox live is no more sort of xbox
one i didn't want to make the joke that's
morbid xbox live gold paid memberships are still a thing and are required to
play most online games but the base level xbox live network is now just
being called xbox network which sounds
super lame but hey at least you won't need an xbox live gold membership to
play free to play titles like fortnite and apex legends because microsoft is
rolling that out after promising it a few months ago so get your friends and
hop on xbox network and share files
started ftp link what dumb
super long episodes are also dumb so come back on friday for more tech news
or you will make me cry i'm a human and when riley cries he stays sad
