00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.360
oh you came back

00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:09.599
you'll come back next time discord the

00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:13.599
awesome chat app beloved by gamers everywhere and lots of other people too

00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:16.720
you don't own it james other people can like it

00:00:14.639 --> 00:00:21.439
is reportedly in acquisition talks with several potential buyers and the word is

00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:24.560
that microsoft is one of them sources within discord apparently told

00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:29.359
venturebeat that microsoft may complete the purchase for 10 billion

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:33.200
or more although bloomberg sources add that while discord actually reached out

00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:37.520
to microsoft first it's more likely to go public than sell itself which i'm

00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:43.040
sure most of us would actually prefer wait no i want them to get rid of teams

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:47.280
they'll just switch it out gamers will start using teams and then now the last

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:51.120
big chat app microsoft bought was skype back in 2011 and now

00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:55.360
skype sucks i can almost see phil spencer standing

00:00:53.199 --> 00:00:59.440
on an e3 stage talking about how awesome it is that all of discord's cool

00:00:57.199 --> 00:01:06.080
features are now available right from the Windows 10 xbox app so convenient

00:01:02.559 --> 00:01:07.840
that's not awesome phil also e3

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:12.560
come on what is this 2019

00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:15.200
a time when we could go to things

00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:19.280
it's all about ltx now wait the global chip shortage is getting worse not

00:01:17.119 --> 00:01:23.119
better so much so that some analysts are calling the situation a straight up

00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:27.520
crisis in part because raw material suppliers slowed down production last

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:32.479
year in preparation for kovid not anticipating that demand would actually

00:01:29.759 --> 00:01:36.000
skyrocket people like staying inside and playing games

00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:40.400
what the situation has been made worse by a fire at a japanese chip

00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:44.400
manufacturing facility owned by renee sauce

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:47.840
is that a pun on renaissance anyways they're one of the car industry's

00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:52.320
biggest chip suppliers as you no doubt know street prices of pc components like

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:56.320
gpus have skyrocketed a trend that is set to only get worse as companies like

00:01:54.240 --> 00:02:01.439
MSI announce price hikes as a result of low supply meanwhile leakers claim

00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:06.079
NVIDIA is planning to release a high-end ampere-powered crypto mining card that

00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:11.200
can hit 210 mega hatches per second double the performance of the rtx 30 90.

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:14.959
this is not looking good guys NVIDIA your mining card didn't work put that

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:18.800
GPU in a gaming card you know what give that to me give it

00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:23.520
your pills and apple has kind of failed to read the

00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:28.400
room by blocking updates for the proton vpn app in an email apple told proton

00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:31.920
that their app's description breaks app store guidelines about bypassing geo

00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:35.040
restrictions here's the offending portion whether it is challenging

00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:38.480
governments educating the public or training journalists we have a long

00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:43.040
history of helping to bring online freedom to more people around the world

00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:47.120
seems accurate given that the un has recommended protons apps as a way for

00:02:44.959 --> 00:02:51.440
the citizens of myanmar to get around the severe internet restrictions placed

00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:56.560
by the military after they staged a coup apple hates that

00:02:53.519 --> 00:02:58.480
oh that's not um you're breaking the law

00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:02.560
it's extra weird because proton says the offending excerpt has been in its app

00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:07.120
description for months before apple started blocking proton vpn's updates

00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:11.440
you know what this means apple you got to let fortnite back on iphones

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:14.720
hey i i don't make the rules okay this is what

00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:19.200
that's the law one for one now it's time for quick bits brought to you by

00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:22.480
manscaped in their lawnmower 3.0 it's

features a ceramic blade with skin safe technology it's won the mvp trophy for

00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:34.080
ball trimmers every year since that's been a thing which i think it is

00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:38.319

00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:42.400
mop wet wipes which keep your undercarriage clean and refreshed

00:03:48.239 --> 00:03:54.159

00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:13.280
Intel's doubling down on manufacturing their own chips in a live stream

00:04:10.799 --> 00:04:17.040
yesterday the company's new engineer ceo pat gelsinger said they're putting 20

00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:21.040
billion dollars towards a new foundry facility in arizona Intel's so confident

00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:24.960
they're going to turn things around they're even bringing back the tick tock

00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:28.320
manufacturing model i hope they don't confuse it with the other tick tock

00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:33.199
although pat does look like he's hiding some sick dance moves under that suit

00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:38.800
it looks like he could get down show me your moves oneplus has announced

00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:43.919
the oneplus 9 and 9 pro with hasselblad branded cameras and hefty price tags

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:48.240
only slightly cheaper than samsung's galaxy s21

00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:52.080
you either die the flagship killer or live long enough to see yourself become

00:04:49.919 --> 00:04:57.040
the flagship but wait there's a oneplus 9r without the hassle bladness and more

00:04:54.880 --> 00:05:00.690
reasonable features in price but it's only available in india that doesn't

00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:03.600
help me i hate you again

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:09.120
the so-called nintendo switch pro has been rumored for ages now with most

00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:12.639
leaks claiming that the device would feature an OLED display and 4k output

00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:17.120
while docked we've heard it all before i'm bored but fresh leaks support those

00:05:15.039 --> 00:05:21.919
claims and add that the new switch may be powered by a chip built on NVIDIA's

00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:24.479
upcoming lovelace architecture

00:05:21.919 --> 00:05:28.560
with that 4k support enabled by dlss upscaling technologies apple makes a

00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:32.960
switch apple could make a switch but you know they're not making a switch you

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:36.320
know who is qualcomm maybe qualcomm will be nintendo to the punch with their

00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:40.240
rumored Android-powered switch knockoff device complete with detachable joy-con

00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:43.360
controllers if this is real i'll actually be quite excited because when

00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:46.880
we installed Android on the company switch i loved it and you can't do that

00:05:45.280 --> 00:05:51.280
with newer switches because they don't have the special vulnerability you can make take

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:58.800
advantage of so this would be really cool james wouldn't you say snap oh

00:05:54.880 --> 00:06:00.800
and xbox live is no more sort of xbox

00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:04.560
one i didn't want to make the joke that's

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:08.160
morbid xbox live gold paid memberships are still a thing and are required to

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:13.680
play most online games but the base level xbox live network is now just

00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:15.600
being called xbox network which sounds

00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:19.120
super lame but hey at least you won't need an xbox live gold membership to

00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:23.120
play free to play titles like fortnite and apex legends because microsoft is

00:06:21.039 --> 00:06:30.240
rolling that out after promising it a few months ago so get your friends and

00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:32.240
hop on xbox network and share files

00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:35.919
started ftp link what dumb

00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:40.160
super long episodes are also dumb so come back on friday for more tech news

00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:44.160
or you will make me cry i'm a human and when riley cries he stays sad
