WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.120
okay we're trying something new today you have to guess okay it's that see if

00:00:05.640 --> 00:00:11.700
you spot anything different Tech news

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:16.080
the USB implementers Forum has yet again angered fans of reasonable naming

00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:23.460
conventions with the announcement of USB 4 version 2.0 yeah now this wouldn't

00:00:19.560 --> 00:00:25.500
even be that bad in a vacuum usb4 V2 you

00:00:23.460 --> 00:00:29.939
know yeah yeah I can see that annoying but I could get used to it there's no

00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:34.860
gens anymore the really annoying thing is it represents yet another departure

00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:41.640
from previous USB naming schemes which were responsible for monstrosities like

00:00:37.140 --> 00:00:44.100
USB 3.2 Gen 2 by 2. why couldn't they

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:50.280
just call this USB 4.1 that would well as developer Benson Lu

00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:54.420
well as developer Benson long points out the term version means that this

00:00:52.559 --> 00:00:58.860
announcement is mainly geared towards developers who know that this is simply

00:00:56.699 --> 00:01:05.339
the second version of the spec document for usb4 instead of seeing usb4 version

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:11.220
2.0 on a product box consumers will probably see USB 4 20 gigabits per

00:01:08.220 --> 00:01:13.140
second or USB 480 gigabits per second

00:01:11.220 --> 00:01:19.020
actually acceptable which is actually more syllables and is worse but

00:01:15.780 --> 00:01:20.939
comprehensible come on Benson JK I

00:01:19.020 --> 00:01:24.960
appreciate the tweets he tweeted at us hi good news if you didn't pick up on it

00:01:22.979 --> 00:01:29.640
just there is that version 2.0 could allow your existing usb4 cables to

00:01:27.420 --> 00:01:34.020
support 80 gigabits per second double their current Max Speed depending on the

00:01:31.619 --> 00:01:37.439
cable shut the front door I won't maybe this is just a fact of life you know

00:01:35.460 --> 00:01:41.939
things get faster and then they make less sense that's relativity people slow

00:01:39.720 --> 00:01:45.840
down Einstein knew about this the debate around AI art has been inflamed once

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:50.640
more following the news that a man named Jason Allen won a Colorado State Fair

00:01:48.420 --> 00:01:56.240
art competition by submitting an AI generated image The Twist Jason Allen is

00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:56.240
an AI

00:01:56.720 --> 00:02:04.020
Alan actually submitted the image as Jason Allen via mid-journey the name of

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:09.300
the art generator he used but State Fair judges in Colorado understandably didn't

00:02:06.119 --> 00:02:10.739
appear to know what that implied oh he's

00:02:09.300 --> 00:02:14.400
coming from injury and Alan didn't seem to think it was

00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:19.560
necessary to be more explicit about how the artwork came about since um since he

00:02:17.099 --> 00:02:24.480
used a special prompt which he will be publishing at a later date that's art

00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:28.800
baby now the idea of creating prompts as a specialized skill might seem weird but

00:02:26.700 --> 00:02:34.160
already there are marketplaces like prompt base where such special prompts

00:02:31.020 --> 00:02:36.300
are being sold by prompt Engineers

00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:39.300
James and I talked about this for half an hour yesterday on talk linked so

00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:43.620
listen to that if you need some time to process this wild new reality we're

00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:48.060
really smart it's happening and processor design company ARM has sued

00:02:46.019 --> 00:02:51.840
one of its biggest licensees processor design company Qualcomm over the

00:02:50.040 --> 00:02:56.040
latter's acquisition of processor design company nuvia over a year ago it's a bit

00:02:54.300 --> 00:02:58.980
of a Cane enable situation they're just attacking

00:02:57.300 --> 00:03:03.720
you know but you know about the Bible see arms upset because nuvia is licensed

00:03:01.860 --> 00:03:09.000
to develop chips using ARM technology expired in March and mostly covered the

00:03:06.180 --> 00:03:13.080
creation of server CPUs but Qualcomm is making chips for laptops smartphones

00:03:10.620 --> 00:03:17.700
cars and more which was covered by qualcomm's license under

00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:22.140
which nuvia should technically now fall it's a weird case made all the more

00:03:20.220 --> 00:03:26.040
confusing by the fact that ARM only stands to gain if Qualcomm succeeds in

00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:30.239
the laptop and server markets where armbase Tech isn't as strong as x86 it's

00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:34.920
like shooting yourself in the foot trying to hit a spider but the spider's

00:03:32.940 --> 00:03:38.239
trying to steal your shoe it's trying to shoot trying to get away with it so you

00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:42.780
shoot and oops too many now it's time for quick bits

00:03:40.980 --> 00:03:46.739
brought to you by EK fluid gaming provider of custom water cooled and

00:03:44.819 --> 00:03:51.540
all-in-one gaming PCs they're the coolest PCS I've ever met

00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:55.260
right now you can get up to two thousand dollars off a range of their gaming PCs

00:03:53.580 --> 00:03:59.940
with deals on everything from your first gaming rig to a fully liquid cooled RTX

00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:03.959
3090 powered system each computer is built to order with tailored EK water

00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:07.620
cooling and a three-year warranty for those on a budget there's available zero

00:04:05.640 --> 00:04:11.400
percent financing options and a variety of builds at different price points so

00:04:09.420 --> 00:04:16.859
check them out at the link below quick bits weren't always like this they were

00:04:13.920 --> 00:04:20.400
different but before Intel has held up their promise to show how competitive

00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:25.080
their Arc gaming gpus are against NVIDIA's offerings when it comes to Ray

00:04:22.139 --> 00:04:28.979
tracing blue dudes Tom Peterson and Ryan shroud posted a new video to the Intel

00:04:27.419 --> 00:04:35.880
Graphics Channel today with Benchmark showing the arc a770 performing about 14

00:04:32.340 --> 00:04:38.880
better on average than an RTX 3060 in

00:04:35.880 --> 00:04:40.800
1080P gaming with Ray tracing enabled

00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:45.060
you know they're really trying you know and I honestly feel like bumping that 14

00:04:42.660 --> 00:04:49.560
up a few points just for that like good job guys love a positive attitude Google

00:04:47.400 --> 00:04:53.880
has expanded user Choice billing for the Play Store from the European economic

00:04:51.300 --> 00:04:59.040
area to include now India Australia Indonesia and Japan

00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:03.419
nope we're not special where developers will now be able to apply to accept

00:05:00.660 --> 00:05:07.020
payment methods other than Google pay if developers are approved they'll get a

00:05:05.220 --> 00:05:11.639
four percent discount on Play Store fees which could mean devs that already

00:05:08.940 --> 00:05:15.780
qualify for a lower 15 standard cut could pay as little as 11 percent

00:05:14.580 --> 00:05:21.120
that's not bad C corporations can do good

00:05:19.080 --> 00:05:24.900
things you just have to continually Mount public campaigns and threaten them

00:05:23.100 --> 00:05:28.979
with lawsuits and Federal Regulation it's how it's always been it's how the

00:05:26.940 --> 00:05:33.120
cavemen did it the U.S government has banned chip makers like NVIDIA and AMD

00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:37.199
from selling their most powerful AI processors to China in order to prevent

00:05:35.340 --> 00:05:41.759
such chips from being potentially used by the Chinese military much better to

00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:45.960
force them to innovate and possibly create something even more powerful only

00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:50.460
a matter of time NVIDIA will however be allowed to continue producing its

00:05:47.580 --> 00:05:55.080
Flagship h100 chips in China but once a chip is finished it must be sealed in

00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:59.780
wax and launched out of a cannon over the sea to land safely in America we'll

00:05:57.780 --> 00:06:04.259
be waiting with our mouths open ohio-based company folio photonics

00:06:02.580 --> 00:06:09.479
have the answer to the problem of long-term data storage CD freaking ROMs

00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:14.340
okay they're not CDs they're called active disks which can store up to a

00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:17.520
terabyte for more than a century while being resistant to changes in

00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:23.400
temperature and humidity and being immune to radiation and electromagnetic

00:06:20.820 --> 00:06:27.479
pulses oh I love a good pulse you would there are also like five bucks a

00:06:25.259 --> 00:06:33.000
terabyte so the Cockroaches are gonna go wild for these things did you because

00:06:29.220 --> 00:06:35.280
when a nuke happens and Halo infinite's

00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:40.860
developers 343 Industries have announced that the game will not support Split

00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:43.440
Screen Co-op a favorite feature seen as

00:06:40.860 --> 00:06:48.360
a franchise staple among hardcore Halo fans yeah the news comes after company

00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:52.919
Representatives explicitly addressed earlier games lack of the feature and

00:06:50.580 --> 00:06:57.780
promised it would return in both 2017 and 2019. this is only one of the many

00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:02.460
complaints Gamers have about this particular game and virtually every

00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:06.240
other game they have siblings we are done making this Tech Lane come back on

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:12.300
Monday for more Tech news and you can let me know if you spotted the new weird

00:07:08.419 --> 00:07:14.780
it was weird run behind me I thought

00:07:12.300 --> 00:07:14.780
you're gonna hit me
