00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.359
everybody needs tech news which is why we're happy to provide it until the

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:09.120
government rolls out the new federal tech news distribution program finally

00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:15.759
at that point we'll switch over to covering reddit memes why would we do that riley

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:17.680
that sounds terrible we need way more

00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:22.320
those ones where someone just like talks forever elon musk must be getting

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:27.279
on the nerves of even his most ardent supporters by this point because on

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:31.920
friday the world's richest meme reposter filed a letter with the sec to cancel

00:00:29.279 --> 00:00:36.000
his 44 billion dollar bid to acquire twitter whoopsies

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:39.760
didn't mean it yep the move comes after months of loud

00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:43.840
speculation from musk over the percentage of twitter's user base that

00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:48.640
is made out of bots an issue that many expected musk to use as an excuse to get

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:52.160
out of the deal but doing that won't be so easy twitter has hired prominent law

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:56.640
firm watchell lipton rosen and katz johnson

00:00:55.360 --> 00:01:01.760
sure to sue musk and force him to complete

00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:06.159
the acquisition ironically the same firm created the so-called poison pill

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:11.840
defense that twitter initially used to try and prevent musk from taking over

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:14.400
the company so there's some snip snap

00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:19.200
snip snapping on both sides in classic fashion elon responded to the lawsuit by

00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:23.520
posting a meme on twitter that pointed out he's finally going to find out the

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:28.240
bot information he craves during the trial and i'm starting to reconsider

00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:32.479
whether this guy should be the king of mars

00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:37.759
the law seems to be on twitter's side here but some analysts are pointing out

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:41.520
that there may be a way musk could get out of the deal considering the

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:46.640
ramifications of handing one of the world's most high-profile public forums

00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:51.040
to a weirdo billionaire apparently trying to single-handedly reverse

00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:54.640
humanity's declining birth rate even if that means letting him succeed at

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:58.159
covering up his sell-off of 8 billion in tesla stock

00:01:56.320 --> 00:02:04.159
with the bat sometimes pc gamers cheered has GPU prices dropped

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:09.280
below msrp for the first time in years last month and we really needed some

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:13.520
good news even better though GPU prices are continuing to drop in china and here

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:19.680
too actually saw some 39's for under 900 bucks with some high-end cards down as much as

00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:22.480
38 below msrp now it's worth pointing

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:26.640
out that msrp for NVIDIA and AMD cards are slightly higher in china than in

00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:31.360
north america due to tariffs but 3d center also is reporting that GPU prices

00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:38.400
are continuing to drop in those regions with AMD carts in particular down an

00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:41.040
average of 88 of msrp wait what

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:44.480
oh an average of 88 of mrp that makes way more sense

00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:49.040
you can't tell right now but this situation is so wondrous that i'm

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:54.560
holding back tears hopefully the GPU landscape stays relatively level because

00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:58.720
while hiking is good for you it's not something that pc gamers generally

00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:02.959
appreciate on average on average i like it yeah i know you do

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:08.560
and the president and ceo of rogers communications tony stefari

00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:12.640
has apologized for the network outage that took out a quarter of canada's

00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:17.120
connectivity on friday including my phone saying the company now believes that

00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:21.760
their narrowed the cause down to a faulty maintenance update which caused

00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:26.159
some of the routers to malfunction yeah about how many routers do you think

00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:30.319
that was tony because we're not just talking about cell phones here we're

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:34.640
talking about emergency services payment terminals my cell phone once again

00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:38.400
and more than that just stop working for a full day and it still isn't working

00:03:36.239 --> 00:03:44.400
today for me is yours working i'm on kudo baby good job the outage has

big three isps shaw communications into

00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:57.280
question because cutting off a quarter of canadian internet is a rookie number

00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:00.799
bud you gotta build up get get a whole third of it otherwise you might as well

00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:05.680

00:04:56.080 --> 00:05:03.919
trust me microsoft has done some snip snapping snippeting of their own and

00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:08.960
reversed the earlier reversal concerning support for untrusted macros and office

00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:13.440
applications the tech giant initially said untrusted macros will be blocked to

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:17.199
combat malware the security community hated that so

00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:21.919
microsoft walked it back but this morning the company said that walk back

00:05:19.039 --> 00:05:27.120
was temporary and untrusted macros will be blocked by default although admins

00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:31.759
will be able to allow unofficial macros on a case-by-case basis just be glad

00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:36.320
elon didn't offer to buy microsoft or be needing seat belts to deal with all this

00:05:33.440 --> 00:05:40.000
whiplash am i right whoa too

00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:45.120
speaking of microsoft the xbox series x has given an upgrade or a downgrade as

00:05:42.479 --> 00:05:49.759
it were by digital foundry who installed Windows 98 on the console and got a

00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:54.240
number of classic pc games running including quake half-life turok and

00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:59.759
command and conquer they followed a guide posted by arcadis gaming to get

00:05:56.320 --> 00:06:02.000
the os running in dosbox pure retro arch

00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:06.080
core so you could do this yourself if you prefer potentially getting in

00:06:03.840 --> 00:06:10.639
trouble with xbox and use your fancy new current gen console for decades-old

00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:13.440
games why because it's fun david knows no

00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:18.560
reason speaking of xbox games halo infinite's

00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:23.280
co-op beta was supposed to go live today but instead is delayed because eight

00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:27.520
months after the game's launch which itself was delayed it is still not

00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:31.919
enough time to add a feature that is core to the franchise ever since combat

00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:35.039
evolved look i know game dev is hard but i didn't think infinite was supposed to

00:06:33.520 --> 00:06:39.199
refer how long it was going to take to roll out the game's updates

00:06:37.039 --> 00:06:42.960
that was a good joke rally but at least halo infinite isn't pulling

00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:48.319
a doctor disrespect he will be allowing fans to playtest snapshots of the game

00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:53.440
that prominent streamer is developing with his studio midnight society by

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:56.880
buying an nft players will be able to access these

00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:01.120
unfinished portions of the game a process that is usually handled by

00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:05.599
professional playtesters and paid for by the studio not the other way around

00:07:03.599 --> 00:07:08.960
