WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.240 Details on NVIDIA's next-generation of GPUs, codenamed Blackwell, appear to 00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:11.560 have been leaked, raising the question of whether Team Green can pull off a 00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:16.040 better redemption than Shawkshank. Let's hope the answer isn't "Z Watanae no." Do 00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:22.160 you remember? That's a deep cut. I'm James Drive, this is TechLinked, and this is the ChipHell 00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:26.840 forum post where leaker Panzerlied posted the numbers 2 3 5 6 and 7. Before 00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:32.200 you think Panzerlied forgot how to count, Liverpool FC fan and hardware 00:00:29.080 --> 00:00:34.120 leaker kopite7kimi elaborated that the 00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:40.360 upcoming Blackwell GPUs will be cut into five dies, the GB202, 00:00:36.760 --> 00:00:42.480 203, 5, 6, and 7. That naming is notable 00:00:40.360 --> 00:00:47.440 for two reasons. Lots of numbers today. 200 series usually represents dies that 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:52.720 are respins, chips that are built again to be better, faster, costlier. 00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:57.000 Also, there is no four variant, which is typically meant to be used for the best 00:00:54.520 --> 00:01:00.400 bang for the buck GPU. I guess that doesn't exist anymore. Until NVIDIA 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:05.440 decided to prank us by giving that designation to the die for the 4070 and 00:01:03.360 --> 00:01:12.680 4070 Ti. Say it. Floor Tom cymbal. 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:15.480 Oh. Oh. Now, NVIDIA has replaced the XO4 00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:19.400 die designation with XO5. Does the higher number here indicate lower 00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:24.240 performance as usual, or did NVIDIA just want a chip that accurately reference 00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:24.240 their favorite mambo? 00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:31.960 The new RTX mambo number five. Hey, no 00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:36.600 Lou Bega voice. A group of six music labels, including Sony and UMG, is suing 00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:41.440 the Internet Archive over their attempt to preserve music recorded on 78 RPM 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:45.920 discs, a format that was discontinued in 1959. 00:01:43.440 --> 00:01:50.480 Holy cow, you know you're evil when the Archive's Great 78 Project is trying 00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:54.040 to save the work of Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and many 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:58.360 other talented dead people. But, the labels argue that because the preserved 00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:01.800 songs are already available to stream, there's no chance they'll be lost, 00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:06.200 forgotten, or destroyed. Which, you know, press X to doubt. You only can 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.800 stream one version usually. When there's a remaster, that's what you get. 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:13.280 When they're in the cloud, they're there forever. So stupid. According to the Internet 00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:17.440 Archive, the Olden Times recording still holds significant research value as 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:22.160 artifacts and usage evidence. And that's artifacts as in unintentional sounds in 00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:26.760 audio recording, not like the Venus of Willendorf. Hot. This comes only 4 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:30.640 months after the Internet Archive lost another copyright lawsuit brought on by 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:33.920 a group of large publishers who sued the archive for making digital books 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:39.821 available without restriction during the unprecedented global pandemic when most 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:40.200 of the world's libraries were closed. 00:02:39.821 --> 00:02:45.840 [sighs] The archive says it plans to appeal the decision, apparently unapologetic for 00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:49.400 their dastardly crimes of enabling literacy. But if they can read, they 00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:53.600 won't stream our music. Disney has decided to stop producing 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:58.840 physical media in the entire country {slash} continent of Australia because I 00:02:55.880 --> 00:03:01.560 guess not enough things regularly perish there. They do. That's the They There's 00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:06.760 spiders. spiders. There's lots of spiders. The House of Mouse is instead going full 00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:10.200 throttle on Disney Plus because why charge a customer once for something 00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:14.120 they really want when you can charge them for one thing they want and 00:03:12.320 --> 00:03:18.959 thousands of things they don't want every month until they die. 00:03:16.880 --> 00:03:21.320 Obviously, this isn't just about getting people to sign up for Disney Plus and 00:03:20.519 --> 00:03:25.480 then forgetting to cancel the subscription. It's also because the cost of 00:03:23.640 --> 00:03:29.600 manufacturing physical media, which I'm sure is only near zero. Disney has also 00:03:28.160 --> 00:03:32.680 pulled physical releases from some countries in Latin America and Asia 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:36.560 where the sales numbers were underwhelming. Unfortunately for some, 00:03:34.760 --> 00:03:41.720 this trend extends beyond movies with upcoming games like Starfield not even 00:03:38.880 --> 00:03:45.880 including a physical game in their $300 constellation edition despite including 00:03:44.160 --> 00:03:50.000 a steel book case. They don't have them in the future. 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:54.400 Alan Wake 2 is an example of a big budget game releasing digital only, and 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:58.600 even Alan Wake 1 to show you that THQ Nordic is begging for discs. Please, 00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:03.240 give us the discs. They're great frisbees. Get your own damn discs. Now it's time 00:04:01.880 --> 00:04:06.800 for the quick bits brought to you by The Ridge.

The doctor told me the quick bits have been inside me all 00:04:42.919 --> 00:04:49.240 along. I have 3 months to live. Dell was found to have misled consumers on 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:55.000 monitor prices in June by Australian regulators, who have now issued the 00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:57.560 company a fine of 6.46 million US bucks 00:04:55.000 --> 00:05:02.760 or 10 million Aussie billabongs. It's actually called a fine. A fine. From 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.200 August 2019 to December 2021, Dell's Australian website suggested that 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:11.400 shoppers could get the best price for monitors if they bundle them with other 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:15.560 items, but that best price often turned out to be a much less desirable higher 00:05:13.760 --> 00:05:19.680 price. I totally get where Dell is coming from, though. They were probably 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:25.240 talking about the best price for them. Yeah, well, you know, $6 million is 00:05:22.640 --> 00:05:29.160 nothing. For Dell? In other tech companies maybe being 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:34.600 badly news, Apple will soon pay up to $500 million to settle a class action 00:05:31.760 --> 00:05:39.240 lawsuit filed in 2020 accusing them of secretly throttling performance of older 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:42.760 iPhone models. Remember? Apple maintains that they did nothing wrong, a claim 00:05:41.200 --> 00:05:47.840 that's totally consistent with paying a half a billion dollars to people complaining you did something wrong. The 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:52.760 3 million claimants involved in the lawsuit could receive about $65 each 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:56.480 once all is said and done though, so this way everybody's happy. Apple didn't 00:05:54.520 --> 00:05:59.520 do anything wrong. They just felt bad. We're sorry you feel that way. Here, you 00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:04.160 can get a happy meal. In other Apple news, according to a man whose name 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:09.240 rhymes with Dark Merman, Apple is planning planning a major update for the 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:13.240 Apple Watch's 10th anniversary, Watch X, which sounds like porn. Despite the 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:18.200 Roman numeral, the watch won't be a wearable Hellenic sundial, but a rather 00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:22.240 a huge overhaul of the design including a micro LED display, thinner watch case, 00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:25.080 magnetic band attachment system, and a blood pressure monitor. 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:30.320 That's got to be weird for the ninth model of the Apple Watch, which isn't even out yet and is by all reports an 00:06:28.760 --> 00:06:33.400 extremely minor upgrade to the standard Apple Watch formula. 00:06:31.880 --> 00:06:38.200 Middle child syndrome, I guess. Where's Windows 9? Microsoft went micro hard 00:06:36.640 --> 00:06:42.720 finding vulnerabilities in the industrial automation software CODESYS, 00:06:41.080 --> 00:06:47.160 objectively the sexiest kind of software. In both a presentation and a 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:50.960 blog post, Microsoft stated these vulnerabilities could be used for remote 00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:53.640 code execution and denial of service attacks. 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:56.919 Due to the wide use of the software, these vulnerabilities could have been 00:06:55.280 --> 00:07:00.520 used to shut down important utilities like power plants, which provide the 00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:04.720 energy that allows you to Google why Sharona was written out in the middle of 00:07:03.080 --> 00:07:08.600 the third season of Emmy winning TV series Monk starring Tony Shalhoub. 00:07:06.840 --> 00:07:13.400 It's a travesty. IT'S A TRAVESTY. WHY SHARONA? 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:18.360 And Netflix is rolling out public testing of its new cloud gaming service 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:21.320 for select subscribers in Canada and the UK. 00:07:19.880 --> 00:07:26.440 What? Why? Weird, very weird sounds. Netflix has 00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:30.880 had mobile games since last November, but now a random handful of Brits and 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:36.360 Canucks will be able to stream exactly two games on web browsers on certain 00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:41.000 TVs, notably not including Apple TV because the Apple Store doesn't allow 00:07:38.320 --> 00:07:45.000 cloud gaming and Tim Cook hates joy. To be clear, this is less about exclusivity 00:07:43.400 --> 00:07:50.160 and more about making sure that the new system doesn't crap up its own back if a 00:07:48.200 --> 00:07:53.040 million people log on simultaneously. What an image. 00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:57.960 Jeez. That was not in the script. And you should get your friends all on 00:07:55.880 --> 00:08:01.560 simultaneously to to watch this Wednesday's episode of Tech Link. You 00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:05.640 can sit all together and say nothing while you stare at your phone. It's just 00:08:03.440 --> 00:08:08.960 like dinner at my parents' house. Except my mom uses an iPad.
