hey stop what you're doing take a deep breath with me okay in
and out remain calm
lots of household items can be used as toilet paper in a pinch i'm gonna try
and one take this
apple apple has just unveiled an updated ipad
pro and macbook air
yes the new macbook sport 10th gen
processors 8 gigs of RAM and 256 gigs of storage in the base model but more
importantly they have the scissor switch magic keyboard instead of the old sinful
butterfly keyboard so that's the important thing you can have nice things
now yay as for the new ipad pro it's got dual
rear cameras one wide one ultra wide with a lidar sensor for better ar
experiences and an upgraded a12z bionic
processor you're not allowed to take pictures on it because because that's horrible
but the big news here folks is the heavily rumored keyboard folios with
track pads which are apparently real yes
ipad os is getting full-on mouse support for track pads and bluetooth mice and
it's not just an optional accessibility setting like we saw in ipad os 13. but
of course apple couldn't do it the normal way the cursor in ipad os will be
a little circle by default and will change depending on the context so now
you can use a trackpad with your ipad if you want to spend 350 bucks for the
attachment logitech has some cheaper models for the
cheaper ipads but in case you were worried that apple was losing too much
of itself here there they are sony had to answer
microsoft's deluge of xbox series x details so they did ps5 system architect
mark cerny told a room full of cardboard cutouts that the console will have eight
zen ii cores running at 3.5 gigahertz with multi-threading the xbox series x
cores run at 3.8 gigahertz and a custom
rdna 2 GPU with 36 compute units and
10.28 teraflops of performance which is again less powerful than the series x it
seemed like cerney spent a good chunk of the presentation talking about how this
isn't actually a big deal and that teraflops don't matter it's how you use
it okay mark i'll show you how to flop
so the GPU might not be ballin but sony has apparently put a lot of work into
the console's 3d audio capability and it might be so good that cerny suggested
players could send sony pictures of their ear so they could get a custom
audio profile nice try buddy you're not getting my ear data and AMD processors
won't just be found in next-gen consoles you're about to see them in a lot more
laptops as notebooks with ryzen mobile 4000 series chips are starting to roll
out for example the lenovo yoga slim 7
which is apparently the world's first 8-core x86 ultra-thin and guys no
offense to AMD but this is exciting because AMD laptops have traditionally
kind of you know they gotta suck so early looks at the mobile processor
lineup show parts with high core counts great performance and potentially decent
battery life i think alex is working on a review of one right now and he's
am i not supposed to do that now it's time for quick bits brought to you by

sounds good to me the current health crisis is forcing companies to use ai in
a bigger way and faster than they might have anticipated facebook google and
twitter are turning to automated moderation systems as employees
increasingly work from home and google's self-driving subsidiary waymo is turning
to fully autonomous operation so safety drivers don't have to be exposed to
travelers all the humans are dead only the machines
at least there will be self-driving cars it seems like whether we like it or not
this pandemic could lead to us all having personal robotic assistance that
can go out and do our bidding outside for us that's a very optimistic
interpretation of what this will all lead to but i'm gonna name mine riley
i'm honored chronos group has released ray tracing extensions for the open
source vulcan graphics API meaning we might see fancy vector-based graphics in
more games going forward and getting decent ray tracing performance might not
cost an ARM and a leg either in terms of hardware capabilities as vulcan's method
will apparently allow offloading of some of the workload to the CPU so we all
gotta share the load in these dark times james globalization
tesla has released the model y with deliveries starting to roll out a year
after its unveiling the deliveries are actually beginning around six months

model 3 so people will receive their new cars just in time to stay inside why
