we've seen some comments mentioning that we talk a lot about American Tech news
for a Canadian show but I think that's allowed guys we are the 51st state after
all it's official now yay the NVIDIA app which was meant to
help boost the performance of gaming PCs has been causing significant performance
drops instead according to a number of recent reports to be fair joining the
Sith and destroying them often gets confused the report seem to have started
with Twitter user Sebastian Castellanos
who claimed to see a 15% Boost after uninstalling the GeForce experience
replacement app followed by fellow Twitter right Compu 910 who clocked an
11% difference Tom's Hardware put these claims to test in five games initially
claiming they also found up to a 15% performance reduction before later
clarifying they actually saw drops between 2 and 12% but that we represents
the community we all found that 15% and we are not happy about it thankfully it
turns out the culprit is the NVIDIA app's game filters which have been
around for a long time and let you tweak the way your game looks with AI it's AI
again more wuss apparently toggling that off pretty much negates the performance
impact or you can just uninstall the app
if the sting NVIDIA's betrayal still lingers honestly fair you and I didn't
deserve this TP-Link maker of the most popular home internet routers in America
there we go talking about them again are a little too popular for their own good
with criminals The Wall Street Journal reports that the company is being being
investigated for security risks which may lead to a ban of the company's
products by the US Departments of Commerce defense and Justice the three
pillars of society God bless that country apparently TP-Link is just being
targeted because it's a china-based company with a history of unpatched
security flaws whose rers have often been exploited in cyber attacks so that
checks out an October report from Microsoft security found that a Chinese
threat actor designated storm 0940 used
mostly TPL link routers in its botnet operations but hold on guys TP-Link just
launched a holiday toy drive to help support students with special needs at
high schools in Tustin California maybe we're jumping to conclusions here just
give him a chance Tustin it's Tustin Arman qualcomm's Court battle kicked off
this week it's been more than two years since ARM first filed suit over
qualcomm's acquisition of Chip startup nuvia remember that ARM says they were
supposed to buy a more expensive license but nuvia had already paid for a license
what are you trying to rob me I'm calling the Departments of Commerce
defense and Justice it's a strange move
Qualcomm is arguably the most prominent company that's known primarily for its
ARM-based chips You' think ARM would want to protect that relationship on the
other hand ARM CEO Renee hos testified that the nuvia acquisition has deprived
them of $50 million a year which is more
dollars than most people have so one of the remedies Army is seeking in this
trial is an order for Qualcomm to destroy nuvia chip designs relax guys
guys they're just PDFs just drag to the trash but when
asked how much rmip is used in those designs nuia founder and CEO Gerard
Williams III that's real answered 1% or
less and he said it so regally I almost
believe he had one of his servants do the math I certainly believe that you

we love you America but we also love our personal space lots of it stay down
there the RTX 50 Series is coming and
NVIDIA's board Partners just can't help but leak stuff about them in marketing
their CES presence Ino 3D mentioned new dlss enabled graphics cards with
something called neural rendering that would revolutionize how Graphics are
displayed the text is gone from Ino 3D's page now so maybe NVIDIA made them take
it down they'd rather you focus on their new compact computer for working with
local AI the $250 Jetson Orin Nano super
Jetson wanted to add even more to the name but the engineers managed to R him
in Nano super ultra EXC excellent Engineers are great
at naming things Intel has issued a field update for their core Ultra 200s
AOL laky views making a number of fixes available that improve the Chip's gaming
performance you may recall most viws found the AOL Lake deatha chips to be
worse in gaming than their predecessors it's interesting that predecessor and
Processor have so many similar letters anyways I've never thought about that Intel says they've identified and fixed
four out of the five root causes for lower than expected performance and
another update in January will fix the fifth one and that should be all the
issues in aerrow Lake taken care of it's not like Intel didn't do any quality
control before launch but they didn't have any coffee for a while it was hard
you guys don't even know about fix this 678

but you do have a phone signal and you just have to talk to a fact simile of a
thinking human we're trapped chat gbt call 9911
also tell me I'm good inside as for you
you just have to come back here on Friday for more Tech news sure this
moving image of me may also qualify as a fact simile of a human but can Chad GPT
do this what that's my secret it probably
can honestly yeah well Gemini can it's
