I don't actually love Tech news I host this show because I made a Faustian
bargain with a bespectical trickster demon his name was Carlos he was divine
I thought it was Riley Murdoch that's my real name
the graphics card version of what Riley called one kid in a trench coat in the
Christmas special is back two partner models of NVIDIA's RTX 4070 TI have been
spotted at Chinese retailers and as you can tell from my face
I could be more thrilled when converted to US dollars the prices of both models
are over a thousand dollars though we don't know if these prices include
tariffs it's important to note that the 4070 TI has 12 gigabytes of memory just
like the unlaunch 4080 12 Gigabyte and
the partner cards pricing aligns with the 899 USD MSRP of the 40 80 12
Gigabyte 2 and to be frank that's because it is the 40 80 12 gigabytes you
know that's right Gamers you got angry and
told NVIDIA hey I'm not gonna stand for this pitiful price to Performance from a
car that shouldn't even be called a 4080 and NVIDIA heard you they heard you so
hard that they changed the name and literally nothing else that's power to
the players so go ahead and buy every 470 TI you can get your little hands on
when it launches let NVIDIA know that you're okay with being ripped off as
long as they're slightly more honest about it they shouldn't even call it a
TI it's called a tie North Korean hackers yes they have
computers down there are stealing Millions by pretending to be crypto
investors move over Sam bankman freed there's a new crypto fraudster wonderkid
blue norov which is part of North Korea's state-sponsored Lazarus group
has been targeting Venture Capital firms as well as crypto startups and banks by
creating 70 fake domains mimicking well-known Japanese companies they were
able to trick victims into downloading malware that drains their crypto
accounts their malware can bypass Windows Mark of the web the security
flag that causes warnings to pop up when opening files downloaded from internet
and definitely not also the title of my mark Rober fan fiction where he becomes
Spider-Man and we totally don't kiss
mark this Rover oh
speaking of some South Korean foreign policy experts can kiss their privacy
goodbye because North Korean hackers have targeted at least 892 of them with
ransomware allegedly the first time the North Korean government has used
ransomware but Reports say that they like it they're digging it it's times
like this when I feel like Society could use a smart handsome engineering type
that fights crimes with a combination of spider-like powers and intelligently
constructed booby traps who also has soft pillowy lips is an opinion that
I've read on the internet and definitely isn't mine and it wouldn't be Elon Musk
yeah some pixel 7 owners are reporting
that their phone's camera glass is spontaneously shattering which is way
worse than my problem with the fingerprint reader just sucking many of
the users that share this problem report similar stories they pulled their pixel
7 out of their pocket and suddenly the phone's camera had cracks in the glass
not to be confused with cracks in your ass glass cracks while this issue was
first posted on Reddit two months ago the same issue has been reported on
Google support forms and Twitter more recently the exact number of cases is
unclear just like the glass and so is the cause possible suspects range from
some sort of pressure point the cold weather or the shape and size of pants
pockets it's it's big pants that's
taking the pixel down all factors which
to be fair Google could never have anticipated I mean they only have all of
our data it doesn't look like your pockets were doesn't Google own pants
fortunately Google seems to be taking the issue seriously and reaching out to
those affected on Twitter which is great since Marquez Brownlee just crowned the
pixel 7 the phone of the year and it's never a good idea to blow a Podium
finish with a controversy after the fact Oscar Pistorius might sue for copyright
infrances so might Lance Armstrong now it's time for the quick bids brought to

shooters well wait I didn't mean sexy Rover the iPhone 14's crash
detection is really good too good according to the Colorado Sun
last weekend 9-1-1 Dispatchers in Summit
County had to deal with 71 automated crash notifications from skiers iPhones
none of which were actually emergencies unfortunately these calls still take
time to verify as accidental so I'm sorry little Timmy I know you can't find
your parents but Karen's iPhone fell out of her pocket on a black diamond and our
hands are tied U.S military bio scanners were bought on eBay for 68 dollars
almost nice by a group of hackers the group called chaos Computer Club the CCC
CCC model I'm doing cool thing they found names photos and biometric data
for over 2 000 people on the device including at least two U.S military
personnel the rank of whom we don't own the club also called getting the data
downright boring due to how easy it was come on guys give them a challenge we
want them to be hackers not Slackers I get paid for this Amazon started
delivering packages by a drone last week just in time for Christmas customer is
in Lockeford California and College Station which is the town in Texas can
experience drones descending into their backyards hovering over the ground and
dropping little payloads and that's Hanukkah baby so if you live in one of
these cities there's never been a better time to convince a loved one that
