keep your eyes on me and we'll make it through okay now
hold on to your quick bits yesterday Google made the shocking yet completely
unsurprising announcement that is cloud gaming service servius stadia it doesn't
matter it's not a real person anymore stadia will be shut down on January 18th
2023 with all purchases of games and
stadia harbor to be refunded thank goodness they held me your money in
escrow for this eventuality I would say that everyone saw this coming but that's
not true developers working on stadia games including some exclusives learned
that stadia was heading to the infamous Google Cemetery at the same time as the
public did making this tweet from the official stadia account all the more
spooky in the wake of the announcement many are
discussing Google's obvious missteps which ensured it never mattered and
never had a chance harsh but accurate
never mind the choice to run everything on a proprietary Linux distro
consistently cut funding or make users
buy their games instead of using a Netflix model that was obvious
Google also passed on an opportunity to have an exclusive follow-up to death
stranding from Kojima Productions although I'm obviously not sure if that
would help stadia or hurt Kojima more so
maybe it's better that it just didn't especially because stadia exclusives
will now need to be important to other platforms or lost forever to the sands
of time
moisture in the cloud like tears and Rain stadia didn't even make it past the
death date prophesized by Jason Scott at stadiaaccountdown.com you hate to see
things in before their time but that's negative latency baby
open AI developer of the dolly 2 AI
powered text to image generator has removed the Tool's waitlist allowing
everyone to sign up for Access which would be a bigger deal if similar image
generators like mid-journey and stable diffusion hadn't been publicly available
for some time I'm desensitized to AI art
now it's like constantly tripping on LSD half cat half spaceship riding on a
unicorn made of cheese normal day but proving that the field is still
advancing at Breakneck speed meta just unveiled make a video an AI model that
can generate five second video clips based on text prompts or existing images
and videos this has the will not be free this has
the worst name of all of them though the AI seems to really like putting human
hands on decidedly unhuman subjects but at the pace things are going they'll
have solved that problem and put human hands on a real cat in about a month
that forever it does not work well they hate it and just because Intel finally
announced the release date for The Arc a770 GPU doesn't mean they're just gonna
chill until October 12th Ryan Shrout and Tom Peterson are back with more Blues
Clues AKA benchmarks and specs for the 329 Arc a770 and the arc a750 which they
revealed will also launch the same day starting at 289 dollars just 289 dollars
and what are you getting for that money no one knows Intel claims a750 is 50
percent better than NVIDIA's RTX 3060
that launched a decade ago in terms of price to Performance but again these are
deep blue sea numbers we're talking about here I don't want to report on
this again until they actually launch I'll be trapped in limbo forever but it
had to do today because Acer also announced their first consumer desktop
graphics card the Predator by Frost Arc
a770 come at me Disney it's got a blower
style fan in the middle next to a much larger fan that looks normal
it's it's weird and different and frankly that's what a GPU what the GPU
space needs right now am I right don't want to go full Portland but just a
little bit I just now it's time for quick bits brought to
you by hetzner a leading hosting provider and data center operator in
Europe where it honed its skills at delivering three things Innovative
technology attractive prices and expert
support it's like the Triforce of Hosting providers with this power

you've been holding on to your quick bits good now release them they can't
help you anymore anyone confused about why logitech's gcloud gaming handheld
exists should probably strap in because apparently Razer will unveil a similar
device at Razer con which is is the a
bad name on October 15th The Edge 5G was
announced in collaboration with Verizon as the world's first 5G mobile gaming
handheld which appropriately sounds like it might have a bit of an edge over a
logitech's device but it still brings up questions
why would you want this when the steam deck exists
the power of the pause might be heading to a whole another stadia situation here
you hate to see it but I will strap in razor
razor there is speaking of D Brown has pulled the launch of their kill switch
steam deck case after reporters at The Verge notified them that the case's
magnetic kickstand was slowing down their steam decks fans
wow turns out that earlier models of the
deck were built with a fan that is affected by the kickstands magnets how
do they work while others are not so dbrand is redesigning the kickstand to
not use Magnus and will send a free replacement kickstand and case to every
kill switch customer as far as I can tell they announced all this without
writing a single edgy insult so double
props to them they're going to be a razor con actor Bruce Willis is the first
Hollywood actor to sell the rights to use his image on likeness to a deep fig
firm called get this deep cake
this makes a lot of sense for Willis who recently retired from acting due to due
to his Aphasia diagnosis a terrible disease the technology could enable him
to continue acting for prestigious Productions like a commercial for a
Russian Telecom maybe he could be the next Darth Vader
they love de-aging Google parent company alphabet is testing its wing drone
delivery service in Australia right now and they need it and things have been
going pretty well unless you count yesterday's incident involving a food
delivery drone colliding with power lines in Queensland isn't that King's
land now just joking and knocking out power to over 2 000 residents which
probably sucked for those people never mind the guy that ordered the food
where is it all you can do is listen for
the buzz and by the time this episode goes up Tesla will have hosted its AI
Day event following heavy hints from Elon who I feel like we shouldn't say
his name anymore about the company's humanoid Tesla bot I would say it's too
bad we didn't get to see what they're going to show off but it's hard to take anything musk says seriously after he
tweeted that the Cyber truck will be able to serve briefly as a boat
that describes every car Elon
the float until they don't at least we know the cybertron's Windows
break easily yeah yeah oh got him it's
time for this video to sink back down down under the tech news ocean uh but
come back on Monday for more I gotta go down with this foreign
