hi everybody have a normal night
nothing crazy happened like in the
like in the world everything's everything's pretty just
regular out there
cool NVIDIA has announced they're delaying the launch of the rtx 3070 graphics card
from october 15th to october 29th in order to avoid the availability problems
that plagued the launches of the rtx 3080 and 3090. NVIDIA's blog post says
the move is intended to get more graphics cards into the hands of gamers
on launch day and not at all because october 29th is one day after AMD is
scheduled to reveal their newest rating on gpus
oh my is NVIDIA going to give AMD a taste of their own medicine waiting
until the reveal of the rx 6000 gpus and then dropping the 3070's price to be
more competitive in an ironic reversal of what AMD did in 2019
we'll have to see but whether NVIDIA screws AMD over or not on the GPU side
one thing's for sure if these ryzen 5000 series leaks are any indication team red
cpus are still going to be bangers so don't worry for dr lisa sue just yet
she's a doctor i'm sure she'll be fine
she'll just like reincarnate in a different body or
something i think doctors can do that oh is that my coffee that's nice microsoft
brought two new surfaces to the top top
of the what was i writing here they announced two new surfaces the surface
laptop go has a 12.4 inch touchscreen and a 720p webcam and runs an Intel core
i5 1035 g1 with four gigs of RAM
and 64 gigs of emmc storage but it's
only 549 you're definitely paying a premium for the nice surface design
there but there's also a more reasonable build with eight gigs of RAM and 128
gigs of storage for 6.99 so
so that's what i wrote microsoft also announced a refresh of the surface pro x
powered by the microsoft sq2 chip which is basically a variant of qualcomm's
revamped snapdragon 8cx gen2 i found the
first surface pro x pretty disappointing primarily because it couldn't run many
x64 apps but that's apparently about to change microsoft is working on x64
emulation for Windows on ARM meaning that ARM powered Windows machines might
actually be worth buying in the future oh i'm sorry what is that rude
they deserve it and google is going to start paying news
publishers for their content as part of a new product called google news
showcase the company is putting one billion dollars into news partnerships
over the next three years with nearly 200 publications in the uk canada
australia and argentina big into news in that country they love it there while
this certainly seems nice of them it's more likely this move is an attempt to
sidestep efforts by the governments of australia and france to get google to
pay for news it's not clear whether google news showcase will be a paid
service like apple's news plus but either way it should bring up the real
good stuff or what the algorithm thinks is good anyway praise be to its
all-knowing ways don't kill me please algorithm now it's
time for quick bits brought to you by my good friends at seasonic when i think of
the way that csonix power supplies deliver ultra efficient power to a pc
it just makes my skin vibrate
the seasonic prime ultra titanium power supply is fully modular has fluid
dynamic band band bearings fan bearings
with hybrid fan control to mitigate noise and comes with a psu tester in the
box like come on guys it's got a 50 000 hour life expectancy and a 12 year
warranty so be honest with yourself this thing is what you want
buy it today at the links in the video description now
quick bits go pc game store gog galaxy is starting to
deliver on its promise of amalgamating your entire game library beta users can
now purchase games from the epic game store through
gog galaxy and not only that those games will be covered by gog's 30-day refund
policy not the epic store's 14-day policy
there's got to be a downside here um you can't
interact directly with the epic game store this way
nope that's a plus dang i guess this is pretty great news
verizon is expanding its lte-based home internet service to rural communities in
48 of the united states offering download speeds of 25 to 50 megabits per
second and no data usage caps wait
so they can just get rid of lte data caps when they want to
why do we have them there
for to make suit guys money
NVIDIA has released an optional hotfix driver for GeForce gpus which should
help with some g-sync issues some users have been experiencing and further help
those nasty rtx 3080 crashes we've been hearing so much about but i have a
feeling those were nintendo hacking the GPU like
maybe it's time to take a break toyota's gone and done it they made
glados from portal just kidding it's actually a concept robot designed to be
installed in kitchen ceilings so it can help you cook and make passive
aggressive slightly threatening remarks as it does so just kidding it won't do
that probably but it will sing you songs about cake and science
it might actually do that i don't know and it's time for gamer news super smash
bros is getting a new fighter in the form of steve and alex the main avatar
characters from minecraft remember smash bros
i just like seeing these announcements i haven't bought a single dlc but you know
what i am buying is star wars squadrons
because it's out now and if you think i'm not gonna be playing the heck out of
it
you're crazy it'd be crazy to continue this episode though so come back on monday for more
tech news hopefully something happens in the tech world by then otherwise the
video would be kind of awkward squadrons let's play do a barrel roll hula
