ah central pack
man what a week to launch this show eh there's microsoft build 2018 and google
kicked off io 2018 with a huge batch of news so
we better get to it first off we've got some details about Android p which
stands for p penis
no that's inappropriate p will have new navigation gestures that make it behave
a lot more like the iphone 10 and samsung's galaxy s9 some people are
calling google out for copying but apparently palm did it first
palm did everything first p will also have ai assisted adaptive battery
technology new app and search predictive abilities called actions and slices and
the ability to set time limits in certain apps so that once you've reached
the time limit the app's icon will be grayed out and you'll be unable to use
it that pathetic
google has to save us from ourselves now for the real mind blow google
assistant is getting more natural with the ability to fulfill multiple requests
at once so you can say hey google navigate home and play my driving
playlist it will also have a wider range of voices to choose from including john
legend if you want to hear his voice all the time
rather than only when you're drawing up a luxurious bubble bath what
you don't do that my pee is blown oh that sounds terrible
i don't even want to repeat it but not only that google assistant will be able
to make actual phone calls by itself to
book appointments and make reservations for you and
it's kind of creepy and amazing at the same time
just listen i'll have something out for you
hi i'm calling to book a women's haircut for our clients um i'm looking for
something on may 3rd give me one
that was a real call you just heard what
those people don't even know they're talking to a robot
this is how the world ends with some um's and oz okay we gotta go
fast now Linus you're slowing me down i've got to get through there's a lot of
stuff to get through i'm not even doing anything oh this isn't making it faster
gmail will basically just write your emails for you now with smart compose if
you just want to finally accept your status as a shell of a former human
google lens will be embedded in the default camera app of certain phone
models and will be able to copy text from images and find objects with
similar styles in real time google's ar core platform can now be used to have
multiplayer experiences in ar
3d tic-tac-toe is here that's how you know it's the future no one can find my
style one of a kind baby if you were on lens
no one would be like what is this i don't know how to interpret it
socks and sandals no one maps is getting lists group event
planning features a 4u tab with recommendations and augmented reality
walking directions using google's visual positioning system or vps chromebooks
will be able to run native Linux apps with the pixelbook obviously getting in
the feature first and google announced the 3.0 version of its tensor processing
unit with over 100 pedaflops
of power i'm not sure how pedaflops translates to
gigawatts what do you think doc i just want to know what the animal rights
activists are going to think of this because payday flops
i get it one thing we didn't get to cover from microsoft build 2018 yesterday was the
upcoming Windows sets feature sets will essentially use microsoft edge as a
browser for your entire pc when you open a new tab you'll be able to not only
open web pages but also files and applications this will allow you to keep
separate Windows with tabbed pages from multiple apps it'll also work with
timelines so you can pick up using a group of apps from your laptop Android
or iOS device and alt tab between the tabs in one window
it seems like a pretty drastic design change so i can crash everything with
edge yeah you can crash whatever you want all at one time
it seems like a pretty drastic design change so we'll have to wait to see when
or if it makes it to the main release in the meantime you can use the separate
desktops function in Windows because that's
essentially what that is so
it's time for quick bits my favorite and Linus hates it and today they're being
brought to you courtesy of our bros at dbrand they've got awesome vinyl skins
for laptops phones tablets consoles controllers and pretty much anything
else you'd want a skin to be on top of they use high quality
authentic true textured 3m vinyl on every product and feature unrivaled
precision in fact they work for over a year with 3m to research and develop
skins for the nintendo switch they use a unique adhesive to protect the console
and joy-cons without damaging anything on removal they got really close with 3m
during that year and they're gonna go on a retreat this summer actually it's gonna be wet and wild with affordable
pricing and worldwide shipping they'll make you say oh boy do i want one of
those d brands to be my friend check it out at the link below
on to the quick bits nintendo has finally released details about how its
nintendo online service is going to work while it will enable online play cloud
saves and offer access to a selection of classic nes games it will not bring the
virtual console with it so if you want to play the original versions of some
gamecube and wii games ebay and craigslist will welcome you with open
arms dirty sometimes sticky but they're open dota is adding its own
battle royale mode sort of with a new mode called the under hollow where
multiple teams will quest through a dungeon fighting npc monsters and each
other before the labyrinth collapses maybe it'll end with you jumping on a
bandwagon and riding out of there to safety
that's not bad flying cars are a cool idea but it seems like as a society
we're just going to settle on making small planes slash drones and calling
them flying cars or at least uber will the company showed off their latest
decidedly uncar-like design recently and sure it's cool
it's just not a car it's a plane helicopter bus thing
which Linus likes to call
i got nothing he's got nothing
a plane helicopter busting we can just call it that NVIDIA claimed high refresh
rate 4k monitors with g-sync and HDR would be launching soon and now it
appears that the first one the acer x27 will finally be launching in the next
few weeks so buckle up boys and a german service called games
from space promises to get you free games if you only let them mine
cryptocurrency on your GPU this might be a bad idea for a number of
reasons primarily because electricity costs money and you might just end up paying
more on your hydro bowl and secondly we know the games aren't from space guys
you think games are just floating around up there they're not yeah there's like
nebulas comets
get on with it there's lots of stuff and that is it for the second episode of
TechLinked i am so excited to be here guys it's kind of surreal i was on the
outside for so long that i feel like some kind of
secret informant you pimp that stuff on your own
