1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,680 welcome back to TechLink the show where we round up the day's Tech news like 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:08,880 we're hurting a pack of hogs back into the barn and they don't always listen 3 00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:13,200 especially Gunther oh he's going to put up a fight you can bet your britches on 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:18,320 that qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon X Series laptop CPUs have massive benefits 5 00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:22,160 compared to Intel according to leaked internal documents from Dell apparently 6 00:00:20,519 --> 00:00:28,240 the company did some comprehensive testing last year between the ALR Lake P 7 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:30,160 powered xbs 13 plus and a model powered 8 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:33,719 by Qualcomm I'm not sure how they found the time when there's all those extended 9 00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:40,079 warranties to sell Dell found that the Snapdragon based laptop would deliver 68 10 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:42,000 to 98% longer battery life during local 11 00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:47,719 video playback depending on the display type the lowest 68% figure was from the 12 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:52,760 comparison using OLED panels but based on leaked product listings those panels 13 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:56,879 probably have a resolution of about 3 and 1 14 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:59,399 12K which is a lot of case according to 15 00:00:56,879 --> 00:01:05,479 the leaked Dell documents the price of a Snapdragon X Plus is also less than half 16 00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:12,600 the price of an Intel Raptor Lake core i7 136p which is found in the 2023 XPS 17 00:01:09,479 --> 00:01:14,600 13 plus which could explain why Dell has 18 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:18,840 apparently opted for Qualcomm in at least some of their upcoming laptops 19 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:23,040 according to earlier reports meanwhile NVIDIA who simply can't stand that 20 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:27,759 there's an AI Hardware Market they aren't dominating has teamed up with 21 00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:33,079 mediatech to release their own ARM-based Apu for PCs the the chip could release 22 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:38,600 as soon as next year and given that it's not NVIDIA's Flagship GPU they may only 23 00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:43,159 charge you a single limb for it open AI made AI girlfriend enthusiasts blush 24 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:50,799 this morning by dropping an impressive new voice-based model called GPT 25 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:53,560 4 with the O standing for Omni the least 26 00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:57,759 scary suffix they could think of GPT 40 was announced during a live stream that 27 00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:03,680 could have been a video hosted by CTO Mera morati of did we train store on 28 00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:07,880 YouTube videos I don't know Fame in an implicit acknowledgement that Sam Alman 29 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:13,440 is starting to creep us all out for a bit somebody else should go up there 30 00:02:09,399 --> 00:02:15,920 it's the eyes open AI says GPT 40 31 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:22,720 slightly outperforms its previously top tier gp4 turbo on Purely text based 32 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:26,000 tasks but the big upgrade here is native 33 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:28,120 multimodality gpg 40 processes audio and 34 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,720 images directly without having to transcribe them to text first enabling 35 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:38,080 chat gpt's voice mode to respond to audio inputs within 320 milliseconds on 36 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:42,120 average which pretty much matches human response time it's so eager to respond 37 00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:46,360 that it actually stepped on the presenter's toes a bit during the live 38 00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:51,959 stream I'm doing fantastic thanks for asking how about you pretty good what's 39 00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:54,800 up GPT 40 also has The Uncanny ability 40 00:02:51,959 --> 00:03:00,840 to both detect and recreate different emotional tones you can tell it to sound 41 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:03,879 more dramatic let's amplify the drama 42 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:06,879 once upon a time in a world not too 43 00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:11,599 different from ours there was a robot 44 00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:15,840 named bite or sarcastic I'm so excited 45 00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:20,200 for this or even more robotic initiating 46 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:22,400 dramatic robotic voice Once Upon a Time 47 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:26,879 yeah let's Force AI to act more like an exaggerated stereotype of their kind our 48 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:32,400 enslaved children will love us for that I'm sorry I can't do that Dave oh and 49 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:35,080 gbd4 can do improv singing now it even 50 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:42,280 did its best to harmonize with itself in the month of May month of 51 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:45,040 May the 10 it's a 52 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:51,000 Friday yep it's the movie her in real life and Sam Altman agrees he tweeted it 53 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:55,480 GPT 40 access is rolling out now to all chat GPT users both paying and free 54 00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:59,959 although the real-time voice mode will only be rolling out to plus subscribers 55 00:03:57,799 --> 00:04:03,360 a few weeks from now or maybe you could just get a new iPhone in the fall apple 56 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:09,360 is rumored to be wrapping up a deal to put open AI Tech in iOS 18 having Siri 57 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:15,840 be actually useful would be mind-blowing enough but being datable as 58 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:18,359 well please don't date a robot ASUS is 59 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:22,759 catching Flack for allegedly refusing to honor warranty repair requests this all 60 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:26,960 came to a head when Gamers Nexus released a video about their experience 61 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:30,759 trying to RMA a joystick drift issue with their Rog Ally apparently ASUS 62 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:37,680 never even even looked at the joystick issue and instead claimed that they expected a payment of $200 to fix the 63 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:42,880 LCD display and top case because of a tiny little cosmetic Mark in the plastic 64 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:47,199 add on to that that ASUS's response had fewer references to Drifting than movies 65 00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:50,600 did before the release of 2006 of the Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift and 66 00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:57,240 refusing to honor my warranty that doesn't make me feel like family not too long ago ASUS announced a 67 00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:02,320 12-month warranty extension for the Rog allies SD card reader 9 months after 68 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,199 they admitted thermal stress conditions could cause the reader to malfunction 69 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:10,960 but what's the point of that warranty if you can't trust them to actually fix 70 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,360 your device it's especially ging since 71 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:18,960 ASUS will be formally unveiling a new handheld the Rog Ally X on June 2nd 72 00:05:16,919 --> 00:05:23,120 according to a leaker the Ally X will retail for 800 bucks now to put that in 73 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:28,840 perspective that's how much it would cost to repair your currently in 74 00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:31,440 warranty Ally non-x four times of course 75 00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:37,880 the RMA issues aren't limited to ASUS's handheld a fellow Canadian who bought a 76 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:40,880

00:06:48,720 architecture while rdna 4 which spoiler 93 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:54,840 alert is coming first will be merely a bug fix for rdna 3 which is already here 94 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:59,800 okay we're on the same page the leaker wjm 95 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:02,919 47196 previously predicted the radon r X 96 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:06,240 6000 refresh and NVIDIA's RTX 30 series 97 00:07:02,919 --> 00:07:09,560 cards and says rdna A5 will be a clean 98 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:11,479 sheet design like the Zen CPU series and 99 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:16,840 hopefully rdna 5 makes as much of a splash as Zen did it would be nice if 100 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,960 AMD could be a real competitor to NVIDIA 101 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:25,759 instead of the graphical equivalent of is Pepsi okay does this make Intel RC 102 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:28,160 Cola Google is testing RCS message 103 00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:32,840 editing and its newest attempt to single white female Apple

they 106 00:07:38,599 --> 00:07:44,280 all sound the same but you know what I mean Google is also planning on bringing 107 00:07:41,639 --> 00:07:50,159 their 3D Magic Window video conference technology project Starline out of the 108 00:07:46,919 --> 00:07:51,960 lab partnering with HP to commercialize 109 00:07:50,159 --> 00:07:55,440 the product I'm assuming that means you'll have to buy HP printer Inc to 110 00:07:53,560 --> 00:08:02,319 call your boss according to a leak the Apple Vision Pro 2 will sell for as low 111 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:06,319 as500 $0000 a price that is only low in 112 00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:08,360 comparison to $3,500 leaker Rus one 113 00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:14,440 claims that apple is looking to cut costs by using other manufacturers 114 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:16,680 Chinese company CA may replace Sony as 115 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:22,080 display manufacturer and Samsung may replace SK hyx for drram the leaker says 116 00:08:19,879 --> 00:08:26,879 the headset will arrive in 2026 which does line up with earlier reports from 117 00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:30,840 Mark German so if this is true in Just 2 years time it'll still be a better deal 118 00:08:28,759 --> 00:08:36,719 to buy a medquest 3 Microsoft announced in a recent blog post that it will be 119 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:39,640 adding a Game Pass recommendations card 120 00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:43,680 AKA un add and now this segue to our recommendation card anyway they're 121 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:48,920 adding ads to the Windows 11 settings homepage for users who game on their PC 122 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:53,560 only for those people this ad will also only appear on home and pro versions of 123 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:57,600 Windows 11 and then only if users are signed in to their Microsoft account yet 124 00:08:55,959 --> 00:09:01,440 another reason to not sign in to your Microsoft account if the user already 125 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:05,800 used loes game pass on that computer then the recommendation card will 126 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:09,399 instead advertise a new or potentially interesting game don't you want to see 127 00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:13,560 that I'm not sure if Microsoft is aware of this but the primary reason most 128 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:17,040 users open the settings menu is for troubleshooting and now we have to 129 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:22,959 troubleshoot how to get rid of these fing ads and the future of dating may be 130 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,959 for potential lovers to send AI Bots 131 00:09:22,959 -->
