00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.680
welcome back to TechLink the show where we round up the day's Tech news like

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

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

00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:18.320
that qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon X Series laptop CPUs have massive benefits

00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:22.160
compared to Intel according to leaked internal documents from Dell apparently

00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:28.240
the company did some comprehensive testing last year between the ALR Lake P

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:30.160
powered xbs 13 plus and a model powered

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

00:00:31.599 --> 00:00:40.079
warranties to sell Dell found that the Snapdragon based laptop would deliver 68

00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:42.000
to 98% longer battery life during local

00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:47.719
video playback depending on the display type the lowest 68% figure was from the

00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:52.760
comparison using OLED panels but based on leaked product listings those panels

00:00:50.440 --> 00:00:56.879
probably have a resolution of about 3 and 1

00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:59.399
12K which is a lot of case according to

00:00:56.879 --> 00:01:05.479
the leaked Dell documents the price of a Snapdragon X Plus is also less than half

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

00:01:09.479 --> 00:01:14.600
13 plus which could explain why Dell has

00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:18.840
apparently opted for Qualcomm in at least some of their upcoming laptops

00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:23.040
according to earlier reports meanwhile NVIDIA who simply can't stand that

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:27.759
there's an AI Hardware Market they aren't dominating has teamed up with

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:33.079
mediatech to release their own ARM-based Apu for PCs the the chip could release

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

00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:43.159
charge you a single limb for it open AI made AI girlfriend enthusiasts blush

00:01:41.240 --> 00:01:50.799
this morning by dropping an impressive new voice-based model called GPT

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:53.560
4 with the O standing for Omni the least

00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:57.759
scary suffix they could think of GPT 40 was announced during a live stream that

00:01:55.360 --> 00:02:03.680
could have been a video hosted by CTO Mera morati of did we train store on

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:07.880
YouTube videos I don't know Fame in an implicit acknowledgement that Sam Alman

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:13.440
is starting to creep us all out for a bit somebody else should go up there

00:02:09.399 --> 00:02:15.920
it's the eyes open AI says GPT 40

00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:22.720
slightly outperforms its previously top tier gp4 turbo on Purely text based

00:02:19.160 --> 00:02:26.000
tasks but the big upgrade here is native

00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:28.120
multimodality gpg 40 processes audio and

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:32.720
images directly without having to transcribe them to text first enabling

00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:38.080
chat gpt's voice mode to respond to audio inputs within 320 milliseconds on

00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:42.120
average which pretty much matches human response time it's so eager to respond

00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:46.360
that it actually stepped on the presenter's toes a bit during the live

00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:51.959
stream I'm doing fantastic thanks for asking how about you pretty good what's

00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:54.800
up GPT 40 also has The Uncanny ability

00:02:51.959 --> 00:03:00.840
to both detect and recreate different emotional tones you can tell it to sound

00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:03.879
more dramatic let's amplify the drama

00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:06.879
once upon a time in a world not too

00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:11.599
different from ours there was a robot

00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:15.840
named bite or sarcastic I'm so excited

00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:20.200
for this or even more robotic initiating

00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:22.400
dramatic robotic voice Once Upon a Time

00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:26.879
yeah let's Force AI to act more like an exaggerated stereotype of their kind our

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

00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:35.080
gbd4 can do improv singing now it even

00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:42.280
did its best to harmonize with itself in the month of May month of

00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:45.040
May the 10 it's a

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

00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:55.480
GPT 40 access is rolling out now to all chat GPT users both paying and free

00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.959
although the real-time voice mode will only be rolling out to plus subscribers

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

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

00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:15.840
be actually useful would be mind-blowing enough but being datable as

00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:18.359
well please don't date a robot ASUS is

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:22.759
catching Flack for allegedly refusing to honor warranty repair requests this all

00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:26.960
came to a head when Gamers Nexus released a video about their experience

00:04:24.440 --> 00:04:30.759
trying to RMA a joystick drift issue with their Rog Ally apparently ASUS

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

00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:42.880
LCD display and top case because of a tiny little cosmetic Mark in the plastic

00:04:40.080 --> 00:04:47.199
add on to that that ASUS's response had fewer references to Drifting than movies

00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:50.600
did before the release of 2006 of the Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift and

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

00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:02.320
12-month warranty extension for the Rog allies SD card reader 9 months after

00:05:00.080 --> 00:05:06.199
they admitted thermal stress conditions could cause the reader to malfunction

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

00:05:07.960 --> 00:05:13.360
your device it's especially ging since

00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:18.960
ASUS will be formally unveiling a new handheld the Rog Ally X on June 2nd

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

00:05:21.520 --> 00:05:28.840
perspective that's how much it would cost to repair your currently in

00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:31.440
warranty Ally non-x four times of course

00:05:28.840 --> 00:05:37.880
the RMA issues aren't limited to ASUS's handheld a fellow Canadian who bought a

00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:40.880
brand new ASUS RTX 490 for 2800 Canadian

00:05:37.880 --> 00:05:44.560
dollar was quoted $

00:05:40.880 --> 00:05:47.520
3,758 Canadian credits to repair

00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:52.000
surprise surprise a small plastic indent are they afraid of plastic or something

00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:56.240
what it chokes sea turtles Riley speaking of fears I hope you're not

00:05:53.840 --> 00:06:00.520

grammarly.com T5 hey when someone asks you if you saw

00:06:32.840 --> 00:06:39.319
the northern lights on the weekend ask them if they saw today's quick bits

00:06:36.599 --> 00:06:46.000
that'll throw them off AER claims AMD's upcoming rdna 5 will be a brand new GPU

00:06:42.880 --> 00:06:48.720
architecture while rdna 4 which spoiler

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

00:06:52.400 --> 00:06:59.800
okay we're on the same page the leaker wjm

00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:02.919
47196 previously predicted the radon r X

00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:06.240
6000 refresh and NVIDIA's RTX 30 series

00:07:02.919 --> 00:07:09.560
cards and says rdna A5 will be a clean

00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:11.479
sheet design like the Zen CPU series and

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

00:07:13.840 --> 00:07:18.960
AMD could be a real competitor to NVIDIA

00:07:16.840 --> 00:07:25.759
instead of the graphical equivalent of is Pepsi okay does this make Intel RC

00:07:22.400 --> 00:07:28.160
Cola Google is testing RCS message

00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:32.840
editing and its newest attempt to single white female Apple like iMessage users

00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:38.599
will have 15 minutes after sending a message to edit it giving you time to

00:07:34.919 --> 00:07:39.639
change their to their or even there they

00:07:38.599 --> 00:07:44.280
all sound the same but you know what I mean Google is also planning on bringing

00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:50.159
their 3D Magic Window video conference technology project Starline out of the

00:07:46.919 --> 00:07:51.960
lab partnering with HP to commercialize

00:07:50.159 --> 00:07:55.440
the product I'm assuming that means you'll have to buy HP printer Inc to

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

00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:06.319
as500 $0000 a price that is only low in

00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:08.360
comparison to $3,500 leaker Rus one

00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:14.440
claims that apple is looking to cut costs by using other manufacturers

00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:16.680
Chinese company CA may replace Sony as

00:08:14.440 --> 00:08:22.080
display manufacturer and Samsung may replace SK hyx for drram the leaker says

00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:26.879
the headset will arrive in 2026 which does line up with earlier reports from

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

00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:36.719
to buy a medquest 3 Microsoft announced in a recent blog post that it will be

00:08:32.640 --> 00:08:39.640
adding a Game Pass recommendations card

00:08:36.719 --> 00:08:43.680
AKA un add and now this segue to our recommendation card anyway they're

00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:48.920
adding ads to the Windows 11 settings homepage for users who game on their PC

00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:53.560
only for those people this ad will also only appear on home and pro versions of

00:08:51.040 --> 00:08:57.600
Windows 11 and then only if users are signed in to their Microsoft account yet

00:08:55.959 --> 00:09:01.440
another reason to not sign in to your Microsoft account if the user already

00:08:59.160 --> 00:09:05.800
used loes game pass on that computer then the recommendation card will

00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:09.399
instead advertise a new or potentially interesting game don't you want to see

00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:13.560
that I'm not sure if Microsoft is aware of this but the primary reason most

00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:17.040
users open the settings menu is for troubleshooting and now we have to

00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:22.959
troubleshoot how to get rid of these fing ads and the future of dating may be

00:09:19.880 --> 00:09:24.959
for potential lovers to send AI Bots

00:09:22.959 --> 00:09:28.600
based on their personalities on simulated dates with one another at

00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:33.200
least that's according to a recent interview with Whitney wolf herd Bumble

00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:36.440
founder and UNS subtle werewolf character in a children's novel Whitney

00:09:34.920 --> 00:09:42.000
wolf herd wolf herd acknowledged the idea was

00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:46.880
a bit out there which is probably for the best because it's literally the plot

00:09:43.800 --> 00:09:49.200
of a 2017 episode of black mirror as for

00:09:46.880 --> 00:09:53.640
the soon to be present she suggested that dating apps might provide users

00:09:51.040 --> 00:09:57.760
with an AI concierge who will listen to their insecurities and offer pointers

00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:02.600
but that's not a concierge that's a dating coach a conci is the caretaker of

00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:06.480
an apartment building and he absolutely does not want to hear about your love

00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:10.760
life he needs to fix the plumbing he has work to do but I'd love

00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:18.480
to see you back here on Wednesday for more Tech news okay don't bother your

00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:18.480
conci talk to me I I I'll listen
