most channels out there don't talk about tech news well that's just not us we do
things a little differently around here pretty quirky
we like to have fun here the entire pc gaming industry experienced a level 69
earthquake today with the news that evga is cutting off business ties with NVIDIA
after producing video cards exclusively for team green and if the reporting on
this is accurate being treated like it in the process
evga is no longer going to be doing business
with NVIDIA jay's two cents and gamers nexus broke the story after hours-long
interviews with evga ceo andrew han and others who claimed that NVIDIA would
withhold drivers basic details and even the cost of gpus prior to making on
stage announcements they would try to control evga's design process and then
price down found resistant cards forcing board partners to sell high-end cards at
a loss these are claims that have been heard from other board manufacturers in
the past an anonymous NVIDIA employee apparently said that jensen has dreams
of vertically integrating like apple the best company in the world
that's probably why they tried to buy ARM still despite 78 of evga's revenue
coming from video cards the company says they're not partnering with AMD or Intel
instead they're done making video cards all together that's so ballsy yeah well
suicidal one word the company will continue to sell the
rest of their current rtx 30 series inventory they will support warranties
for existing purchases and they're not laying anyone off kind of hard to keep
working as a GPU cooler designer with no gpus but the world is a crazy crazy
place life finds a way Intel is also
terminating something today their pentium and celeron branding that's
right i'm sorry weird al it's not all about
the pentiums anymore i don't even get that out of reference and i know my
weirdo Intel says the decision will affect their notebook product stack
where pentiums and celerons will be replaced by a new line of Intel
processors called Intel processor that's right Intel made
a brand name out of a product category they did a reverse kleenex is that legal
it's the first time Intel doesn't specifically say that
they're killing off the brands for desktop pcs but they did say that
they're not planning on making any new desktop parts in this segment anytime
soon they also apparently haven't planned how people will deal with the
confusion of having a subset of all Intel processors branded
as Intel processors because Intel core processors aren't Intel core processors
it's a lot to process process
and youtube is enduring complaints from users who are forced to sit through
anywhere from five to 11 ads many of
them unskippable in order to watch a video but think about how much they
enjoyed that video when those ads were done right
when a viewer complained the youtube rep on twitter seemed surprised and said
this may happen with bumper ads that are only six seconds long but the company
later told pcmag that this was part of a small experiment that showed viewers a
bunch of ads at the beginning of a longer video rather than spacing them
out and that the experiment is now concluded the results are still being
processed but i can say preliminary impressions seem to indicate that this
was probably an effective marking push for youtube premium and an even stronger
one for adblock how much would they tolerate
piracy now outside the quick bits brought to you by the anker nano 3 the
portable and powerful charger for all your apple devices and even devices from
other companies just don't tell tim it charges up to 30 watts and is 70 smaller
than apple's official equivalent and so you can take it on the go their active
shield 2.0 monitors your device's temperature over 3 million times a day
keeping you and your phone safe so if you're already picking up an iphone 14
today why not pick up a 903 as well there's no charger in the box huh quick
bits make me lose my mind and that's why this part of the video never makes sense
never makes sense i've been here
uber reportedly suffered a data breach significantly worse than the one back in
2016. this time the company's entire network may have been accessed by an 18
year old hacker who tricked an employee into giving him an admin password social
engineering it's still not clear just how much data
was compromised or what the impact will be but according to analysts it looks
bad we might have to go back to using regular taxis that kind of bad or just
picking up our own food would i have to like kill it too tick
tock has had enough of other companies copying their format the platform just
announced tiktok now which clones the signature move of the growing social app
be real which invites users to take a photo simultaneously from their front
and back camera at a random time every day i guess tick tock figured that it's
time to play the same game as those that wronged it but doesn't it realize that
by doing the same to be real it's simply perpetuating the cycle of violence onto
new impressionable and social apps make it stop break the cycle stay inside play
games instead ai company adept adept
showed off their new action transformer or act one a model that can be
instructed to perform a number of actions in web apps just like a human
would a published demo shows the ai being told
find me a house in houston that works for a family of four my budget is 600k
and then doing that on redfin.com along with a
bunch of other multi-stage tasks on google sheets craigslist and wikipedia
it wasn't told to do that other stuff it just went a little wild it takes
initiative it's got some kicks to work out
after hyping up the psvr2 by giving the press hands-on impressions sony has
brought the hype back down by confirming the new headset
cannot play psvr1 games because psbr2 is
designed to deliver a truly next-gen vr experience
as next-gen which makes sense that's also why no
console ever supports playing games from older consoles right
especially not ps3
hopefully someone can use this newly discovered unpatchable exploit on the
ps4 and ps5 to get older psvr games
running on the new hardware sony can't figure it out they need some help
help them out you guys and digital foundry has analyzed that halo infinite
glitch that allows players to get split screen co-op running and found
it runs perfectly fine on xbox series x xbox series s and the xbox one
this makes microsoft's decision to officially cancel the future even more
confusing and infuriating hopefully microsoft will shed some light on this
issue and it'll turn out that if they release the feature master chief would
refuse to be in any more halos you know a real explanation bacteria he keeps
blowing them up they keep showing up enough's enough already
