there's been like eight boxes of pizza in the studio right now
ah the review embargo has lifted for NVIDIA's rtx 2070 graphics card and the
overall story seems to be similar to the 2080. the card is fine
but once again the lack of rtx and dlss support in games makes its price hard to
justify right now the price to performance ratio is not super good and
a lack of good competitor cards from AMD means NVIDIA can keep charging a lot for
these top tier cards pc gamer has a giant headline reading the new card is
12 faster than the gtx 1080 but costs 33
percent more whoa yeah we can't verify
those numbers specifically right here on techlink but Anthony and Linus's full
reviews up on Linus tech dip so check that out at the link in the description
warning if you watch it without raytracing might not even be worth it
might as well be watching on a potato and how much of your life do you want to spend like that none none of it
earlier this year google was fined five billion dollars by the european
commission for illegally dominating the web search market the main issue being
that while google offers Android as a free open source operating system if
manufacturers want to include the google play store they also have to pre-install
other google apps like search chrome gmail and more while also abiding by
certain restrictions it is good to be the king
yes what is it is that a reference to something from age of empires
you've ever used to be able to press those buttons i never i never played age of empires in response to the fine
google has altered that agreement pray they do not alter it further
Android will still be free but if you want any google apps you'll need to pay
licensing fees which is how google is going to make up the ad revenue that
they're losing by potentially not having search and chrome on Android devices so
we may see companies like samsung release an Android device in europe with
bing pre-installed instead of google search
or chinese Android phone makers launch completely google free phones wow google
free life can you even imagine such thing i just baidu
yeah i've well i prefer google speaking of chinese phone makers huawei is taking
their apps off their new flagship mate 20 and mate 20 pro while the mate 20 pro
has a traditional notch they're traditional now that's kind of sad the
mate 20 has a single dewdrop camera notch that takes up a tiny portion of
the top of the screen i think the essential phone also had something like that that's something i can live with
it's got three cameras on the back some real fancy internals like a 4 200
milliamp hour battery with the ability to charge other phones wirelessly and it
can use the camera to measure the calories of food that seems a little
fishy i get it fishy cause fish is food
right no they're friends sometimes oh fish are
friends not food yeah okay huawei also announced the nm card a proprietary
format for flash storage the size of a nano sim card not sure we needed an sd
card to be only slightly smaller but hey huawei's doing their thing i don't want
to stand in there way
i have to go now see it see you in the next album now
