beware those who come face to face with the
tech news have been known to lose their minds
actually that explains a lot about this show that was extra we all heard the
rumors last week about NVIDIA looking at a potential acquisition of ARM and it
seemed pretty fantastical but apparently
it could actually happen bloomberg reports that NVIDIA is in advanced talks
to buy ARM from japanese holding company softbank who bought the british
chipmaker for 32 billion dollars in 2016. ARM's CPU designs could nicely
complement NVIDIA's GPU strengths if the deal manages to get regulatory approval
but if it does NVIDIA will also be inheriting a scandal currently unfolding
with ARM's chinese division alan wu the ceo of ARM china was fired in june for
running an illicit investment scheme on the side but get this
woo refused to leave his post
he has reportedly hired a security team and has banned representatives of the
british ARM of the company from entering armed china's premises
maybe this is how china is going to reach its goal of being semiconductor
self-sufficient over the next five years and then here's softbank just basically
handing this whole problem to NVIDIA like hey here's your company pleasure
doing business with see you later
luck we were all shocked and just maybe a
little excited when barack obama and many other public figures offered to
double users bitcoin on twitter seemed like a solid proposition but the great
twitter hack of 2020 was of course a scam and now the man behind it has been
identified or i should say the teen behind it because the mastermind of the
whole thing was apparently 17 year old graham clark of tampa florida florida
florida teen headline clark worked with 19 year old mason shepherd a uk resident
and 22 year old nema faisal from orlando
to carry out the hack which was little more than a phone-based spearfishing
attack so they're not exactly the crack team of operatives that they would have
been if this was a movie instead of real life clark is being charged with 30 felony
counts as an adult because they can do that sort of thing in florida just like
all the other things that go on in florida
don't want to get started and tick tock's recent transparency about how it
works has done very little to put it in the us
government's good graces as insider sources claim that president trump is
expected to sign an order forcing tick tock's chinese owner bites dance to sell
it to an american company trump could apparently do this through the power of
the committee on foreign investment in the united states which previously
played a role in forcing the chinese owner of grinder to sell the dating app
i did not know that but which american company would be hip
enough to take tick tock on microsoft of course
redmond is reportedly in talks to buy the app maybe then they'll be cool
enough to be in the next congressional anti-trust hearing i could feel the fomo

specs for what is allegedly apple's first ARM-powered macbook have leaked
according to these leaks the device may have a 12-inch retina display a single
usb type-c port and 15 to 20 hours of
battery life that's right it'll stay awake longer than you can thanks to the
custom designed a14x apple silicon chip
the a14 non-x is apparently what will power the iphone 12 which has been
delayed from its original september release date a macbook powered by an
iphone processor it's madness yeah but
that might be why the msrp is allegedly going to be 7.99 or wait what
is that this could all be totally not real so let's calm down riley
let's all just calm down Intel has filed trademarks for a new simplified logo
along with a new sub brand called evo powered by core there's some speculation
that this could be how Intel will market their hybrid processors with big and
little cores but who knows maybe a new
coat of paint is just what Intel needs to get over their current numerous woes
i know i feel like a new man after i put on a fresh pair of socks
you know who's not having many woes right now though is amazon who despite
projecting an operating loss for the last quarter actually doubled their
profits thanks to increased online orders during the global pandemic i
guess jeff bezos will have to use that revenue to take on elon musk's starlink
internet satellites with amazon's product project kuiper which just got
fcc approval it is how you say that because i guess
jeff can't think of anything else he should spend his obscene amount of
wealth on hold on i have to do a jeff bezos laugh
how does he laugh again it's hilarious
