oh what it can't be techlinked is real
i'm finally here what riley you host the show all the
time i know i was acting
AMD's Radeon 7 is just a baby GPU having
only been announced at ces last week but nasty rumors about it are still flying
all over the place it's been speculated that the new chip will be in very
limited supply at first according to tweakdown who might be tweaking on
something so i don't know tweak town you know about tweaking it's pronounced
tweekton tweekton according to tweekton an anonymous
sources said that there won't even be 5000 cards to go around when the new
Radeon goes up for sale there's also been a rumor that only reference
editions of the card would be available but AMD has pushed back against the
rumors saying third party boards would be available and that they expect supply
to meet demand which is kind of a
weird thing to say like if no one buys the cards if only 5 000 people want it
yeah we got enough small demand small supply AMD has struggled in the past
with having short supplies at launch like what happened with the rx vega
lineup but hopefully this time things won't turn out like they did for that
kfc in the uk when it ran out of chicken
i was rattled do you remember that i was there mate oh
you're from he's british there's some GPU news on the NVIDIA side as well as
reports indicate that a new graphics card for folks who don't want or need
ray tracing support is on its way the current rumors indicate the card will be
called the gtx 1660 ti
kind of a strange choice considering the flagship series model numbering jumped
from 1000 to 2000 but to be fair that
name is just a rumor for now we've also heard it called the gtx 1160 the
6040 1337 whatever it ends up being called it
will be based on a touring GPU the tu-116 to be exact with six gigs of
gddr6 video memory while it won't have as many cuda cores as the top-end rtx
lineup the better memory bandwidth and greater core count than the gtx 1060
indicates this new card will still probably be a significant upgrade no
word yet on pricing or availability but seeing as the 1060 is getting a bit long
in the tooth it might be time soon for it to head off to the glue factory oh
that's a bit morbid john john wrote this script also tooths don't get longer as
you get older tooths two teeth
toots you wrote oh i did right i wrote two things yeah yeah yeah yeah twitter
has just made us all aware of a bug that's over four years old so it must
have some pretty long teeth if you've been using twitter for Android
you might want to check some of your old tweets if you've ever protected your
account which is supposed to set your tweets to only be visible to those that
you approve a software issue caused users who changed certain settings on
the mobile app such as their email address to have their privacy settings
reverted back to public without warning meaning their private tweets
weren't private anymore twitter says that users who changed settings in this
way between november 2014 all the way up to this month were potentially affected
and that they've reached out to users that they know are facing this issue the
bug has since been fixed but you still probably want to double check to make
sure none of your hot takes about your employer are floating around there for
general consumption that's not private that's public speaking of privacy it's
time for quick bits presented by privacy you don't use the same password
everywhere so why use the same card number everywhere when you shop online
you numpty privacy.com gives you a brand new virtual card number for every
purchase you make with just one click information is encrypted using split key
encryption with partial keys held by separate employees so no single person
can access the sensitive info on the server since they make a commission from
online merchants it's completely free for you and new customers will get five
dollars to spend on your first purchase that's free money

if you're a fan of Windows phone those still exist and are stubbornly
refusing to switch to Android or iOS be aware that security updates will be
coming to an end in december the platform hasn't been getting
non-security updates either since 2017 so if google and apple just weren't your
cup of tea just pour one out for Windows phone boys lived a good life pour it out
dude left a good life have the long running
series of apple watches got you wondering when google might hit back
with their own smartwatch lineup no
yep well google has just bought some of fossil smartwatch tech for 40 million
bucks to help boost its own wear os and while this doesn't necessarily mean
we'll see a pixel equivalent on people's wrists it might help google become more
competitive in the smartwatch space so let's all watch
and see what happens
don't you just hate it when you're driving down a stretch of road minding your own business so much so that you
don't know what the speed limit is and boop suddenly you got a ticket
well google maps hopes to alleviate this issue as it's finally showing users the
speed limit in a handful of u.s cities a feature that some other gps services
have had for some time hopefully we'll see it in more and more places as time
goes on and we'll be able to avoid speeding tickets because we didn't know
what the speed limit is spotify is releasing a car view option that greatly
simplifies the interface for use while driving with larger buttons to play
pause and skip songs unfortunately it only works via bluetooth at this time
not an aux cable okay yeah fair enough hopefully this
will cut down both on accidents and overzealous cops handing out tickets
seriously one of our team members here just got a ticket for over 500 bucks
just for double tapping to change a song are the royal coughers really that bear
for the record it wasn't me it wasn't you no well john wrote this
probably probably john and michigan has just
become the third u.s state to give drivers an option for digital license
plates instead of traditional metal plates mish ganders
is apparently what you call people from michigan where they drop they lost an eye
mishkinders anyways people from michigan can now opt
for a display that could allow easy personalization display parking
credentials send emergency alerts to other drivers and even help the cops
alert the public that a vehicle is stolen ah cops
i love the police pretty cool but seeing as they start at
500 bucks i might instead spend the money on something i really want like
curb feelers i don't know what curb feelers are i'm just imagining little
fingers on the on the bottom of the crib there's a curb there that's our show
guys so come back on monday for more tech news that you can feel like curb
feelers ah
