Yeah, over the long weekend I worked on one of my famous interpretive dance
sequences. Yeah. You want to see? You want a preview? It's pretty pretty
risque stuff in here. Oh, shoot. Look at the time. We got to do the tech news.
Whoopsies. Apple has announced their new M5 chip, which will arrive in a
refreshed iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, and
Vision Pro one week from today. Apple says that in multi-threaded performance,
the M5 is 15% faster than the M4. But
more importantly, its 10 core GPU delivers four times the M4's peak
compute because this is 2025 and it's important to give AI as much power as it
needs to melt our brains so we don't feel anything when our skulls are
crushed under their metal heels. As for the new M5 equipped 14in MacBook Pro,
iPad Pro, and Vision Pro, well, the M5 seems to be the only real new thing
about them. But if you're a total compute head, you can choose wrongly to
pre-order them now. And when they ship on the 22nd, you can watch all your
favorite shows on Apple's newly renamed streaming service, Apple TV Plus. TV TV
Plus? No, it's just Apple TV now, which
is probably what half of you were already calling it anyway, while the other half screamed, "Apple TV is the
box, Mom." Apple is right to call this a
vibrant new identity for the platform. I love it when we talk about streaming
services like they're our friend Chris changing the spelling of his name by
removing the H. So much more vibrant
Chris. Almost as vibrant as the custom Laboo given to Tim Cook by the creator
of Labubu himself. A thank you.
Introducing Labubu 17. Reviews are out
for the ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X.
Shortcircuit and Linus TechTips have both released videos about the new
gaming handhelds for some reason alongside many other people that don't
work in this building. Seems like most reviewers are impressed by the Ally X's
hardware and performance, but think a,000 bucks is a bit steep for something
that seems to not even know whether it's a real Xbox or not. Make up your mind.
And while the nonX Allies price of $600
is smaller, it's actually an even greater obstacle given the lackluster
gaming chops of its arguably outdated chip design. We are just tearing into
these things. They have some redeeming qualities. The joysticks are nice. Well,
if the reviews for these new handhelds turn you off, don't worry. It sounds
like you won't have to wait long for new consoles. Generally reliable AMD leaker
Kepler L2 stated on a NeoGAF forum that
the specs for PlayStation's next console are finalized and YouTuber Moors Law is
Dead has revealed alleged details about the nextG Xbox and its Magnus APU from
AMD. And with the leaked specs in mind, WCCFT says that the nextG Xbox will have
the hardware edge compared to its PlayStation Contemporary. What a crazy
moment for Xbox. One day they're dying,
never releasing hardware again and being relegated to a game streaming service.
And the next they're pumping out powerful handhelds and supposedly
winning the console wars of 2027, a year
when AI will just play our games for us and it won't matter anyway. It'll be so
much better. Speaking of AI, OpenAI CEO Sam Alman has announced that Chat GBT
will be able to engage in erotic conversations with verified adult users
by December. Clock's ticking. As part of an initiative to put some of that good
spicy personality back into the chatbot that they took out. In a tweet, Alman
says that OpenAI has been pretty restrictive with Chat GPD's personality
and conversation topics for fear of putting folks with mental health issues
at risk, but that made it less fun to use for many users with absolutely no
mental health problems at all. You know,
normal people, they figured it all out.
So, OpenAI is loosening those restrictions with help from a newly
formed expert council of well-being and
AI whose first decree is to say smart
is okay for verified adults. It is the will of the council. This is a bit of an
about face from Altman who had previously made jokes at the expense of
the sexy anime slot being generated by Grock. But I guess the people want what
the people want and they really want to talk dirty with their chatbots. I'm
guessing this is going to be a big blow to people fighting against AI slop on
the internet cuz it's about to get a whole lot sloppier. All that said, even
though you're going to be sexing your chatbot soon, you can forget about
marrying it, at least in Ohio, where lawmaker Fattius Claget,
yes, has put forward House Bill 469 to
stop humans from marrying AI and to stop
AI from acquiring personhood.
like they're stealing it from a bank. We got the personhood run. Claget says that
he wants to make sure we always have a human in charge of the technology, not
the other way around. I'll tell you what, I'd rather have a Claget in charge
than a clanker. That's not how they sound in Ohio. So, I'm sorry. And if I'm
fixing to stay dry, I'd rather use our sponsor, Vessie. They make gear for
people that like looking good and staying dry. Normally a pretty big ask,
but Vessie says their sneakers are waterproof thanks to their DATEX
technology. So hey, slip them comfy things on and jump in a puddle on
purpose just to show it who's boss. But Riley, I don't have Vessie yet. Well,
then you should probably enter this sick giveaway we're running with Vessie. You
could win one of seven epic prize packs loaded with gadgets and gear from Vessie
and LTT Store. Go to vessie.com/LMG.
Enter your email and you'll receive a 20% off code to use this October. But
you better act now because the giveaway ends on Halloween.
Uh, get more details at the link below. You know, before the Quickbits started
hanging around here, they were an incredible breakdancer down in LA. Pop
and locking that would blow your mind. Ask JC Chass Chassis. Windows 10 was
issued its last major update on October 14th, the operating systems last day of
official support. It's been sent a drift like a Viking funeral ship. Okay, we got
a quote here. Cattle die and kinsmen die and so one dies one's self, but a noble
name will never die if good renown one gets. That doesn't is that supposed to
rhyme? But wait, hold your Norse funeral poetry. You may remember that there are
a number of ways to get a free year of security updates for Windows 10,
including simply signing into Windows with your Microsoft account and syncing
your settings. Ragnarok isn't here after all. I got all emotional for nothing.
You know what is here? NVIDIA's DGX Spark Personal AI Supercomput. Team
Green's first product to feature its homegrown GB10 SoC. It's such a big deal
that NVIDIA bumped the starting price up to $4,000 after announcing that it would
start at $3,000 earlier this year. Still, Jensen handd delivered a Spark to
Elon Musk, and you can't put a price on that additional leather jacket cool
factor. Well, uh, well, I guess you can. It's
$1,000. Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold is
blowing up for all the wrong reasons. In a YouTube video from JerryRig
Everything, aka Zack Nelson, the Pixel 10 Pro Folds battery appears to expand,
overheat, and emit a bunch of smoke during the bend test, eventually setting
off a fire alarm. While the bend test is pretty extreme and puts an unusual
amount of stress on the phone, Nelson does note that he's been doing this test
for a decade, and he has never seen a phone explode like this before. I guess
you could say the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the hot new phone, but not in the way
Google wanted. Oh, got him again. Two in
a row. And the military tech company created by Palmer Lucky, the original
founder of Oculus, has teamed up with Meta to launch the Eagle Eye military
helmet as part of Ly's mission to turn war fighters into technomancers. The
Eagle Eye uses a mixed reality system built into a soldier's helmet as a sort
of AI partner in their display. aiding in mission planning, enhanced perception
of a battlefield, and presumably writing army approved erotica. Now, that all
sounds awesome, but I'm not sure how badass military guys will feel about
wearing what Gizmodo calls tactical cat ears and taking part in the ooification
of war. All righty, thanks for watching. That's plenty of tech news for one day.
If you want more, come back on Friday. Now, how about I show you some of these
freaky dance moves? Incredible
