to read the tech news from a teleprompter but he better not slip up
or there might be a slimy surprise in store oh
wash my body the xbox series x and playstation 5 will be powered by AMD's
rdna 2 gpus when the consoles launch this fall but pc gamers might actually
get to play with team red shiny new toys first
during an investor call AMD chief financial officer davinder kumar said
that high-end 5000 series graphics cards powered by the rdna 2 architecture and
colloquially referred to as big navi will be AMD's first rdna 2 based
products indicating that they will launch before the next gen consoles
maybe since those are supposed to arrive by holiday 2020 we could be looking at
big navi's release date around september or october which is only fair you know
those console gamers have their fancy pants ssds so we on the pc side should
at least get to try AMD's ray tracing tech first right it's gonna be glorious
move over tresfx the best graphics
upgrade ever trust me sure you've heard of cloud
gaming but have you heard of the much less interesting sounding fog gaming
sounds mystical well names can be deceiving because sega
is researching fog gaming as a way to enable game streaming with almost no
input lag what yes maybe
maybe sega's research involves using the high power pcs and servers utilized in
japan's arcades really arcades are good
there which have been largely underused during the pandemic it's called fog
because rather than connecting to the cloud these servers would connect to
each other and to streaming clients in more of a fog situation
i don't get i don't know man stupid now because there are lots of these arcades
throughout japan the land gamers at home
could connect to them in under a millisecond rather than taking longer to
connect to servers that may be farther away as to whether such a streaming
service would only support streaming arcade games or other more mainstream
games as well well we haven't the foggiest
i'm wet and google is facing a class action lawsuit over chrome's incognito
mode by people who apparently don't understand incognito mode the lawyers
behind the lawsuit are demanding at least five billion dollars because users
who use private browsing can still be tracked by websites but the suit is
based on a study from vanderbilt university that show users who sign into
websites could be tracked because once they do that their browsing activity
gets connected to their account because

fly thermaltake has officially launched the all-in-one CPU and RAM liquid cooler the
company showed off back at ces it's unclear why anyone would actually need

last year in germany were electric and the country thinks it might be due to a
lack of publicly available chargers so as part of a 130 billion euro stimulus

chargers and if they don't well they might get a little personal visit
from angela merkel i can just hear the scolding
apple is having trouble developing device assembly robots that can execute
certain miniscule actions with precision like screwing in the tiny screws that
keep iphones together robots can't feel the screw's resistance the way a human
can so at least we know that when the ai takes over they might keep tiny handed
humans in pens to help them fix stuff Linus you got a job still
it's just naked and hunched just making toys

of the little guys slaps itself onto your subway car like my knock from
empire strikes back it's just helping jeff bezos get a little richer

nope an ai did not write that that's a real thing i guess we should get used to
lg engineers hanging around barber shops waiting to collect your clippings soon
i could use it i can't handle any more nonsense so come
back on monday for more tech news i promise the episode won't be written by
