riley told me Linus you're not allowed to host techlink today because i wrote
the script for myself and i said riley a good host can host anything and i might
not be a good host but i'm an adequate host ryan seacrest and i can host the
tech news it seems so surreal when rumors about Windows 11 started popping up but then
microsoft teased it pretty blatantly with that 11 minute long slo-fi startup
sound video last week and then yesterday a preview build of Windows 11 leaked
confirming that it's a thing and that conspiracy theorists worldwide could
celebrate they're finally vindicated riley
so that's it guys whatever pseudo-historic event that you've been
chatting about on that dark web forum it's real a bunch of internet people
have gotten the new os running in a virtual machine and it most prominently
features a new start menu design with centered taskbar icons straight out of
the cancelled Windows 10x except that you can also move those things to the
left side and go back to the old start menu also the Windows themselves have
rounded corners there's new icons in file explorer and a new widgets panel on
the left side which looks like the new panel that they just added on Windows 10
wait wait a second is this just Windows 10 with a makeover
but there's new sounds hey like the new startup one which is
nice i haven't actually heard it yet great so we'll get all the official
details at microsoft's event on june 24th presumably but so far i don't
really get why this stuff means we have to go up a number i it's fun though
right i love it what a fun number
speaking of nebulous upgrades google is rolling out that fancy new workspace ui
for gmail drive and chat to everyone not
just their enterprise customers the changes make each of these products more
like one integrated google thing
allowing you to split screen gmail and docs in one tab for example
google that's that's unnatural google's also adding end-to-end
encryption to the Android messages app and it'll work perfectly as long as both
senders are using the messages app have enabled rich communication service or
rcs in the settings and are in a one-to-one chat rather than a group
conversation it's no imessage but
it's something that may go away if google decides not enough people have
thanked them for adding it google is also launching their first physical
retail store in new york city which is cool for new yorkers but also just
making more work for themselves when they decide to add that to the graveyard
crane and everything and if you're a capital g gamer you probably noticed

able to cover every single thing that every gamer cares about so here's some
of the stuff that i thought was cool i riley we got a new trailer for the
breath of the wild zelda sequel which looks cool but also starts with zelda
falling into a hole that poor girl

quack bots take yourself mentally back to the time when GPU leaks were exciting
because there was some hope of actually getting your hands on one sunday because some benchmarks of
the Radeon rx 6600m have leaked that
have it performing pretty well against a GeForce rtx 3060 mobile today AMD
celebrated the leak by launching the Radeon rx 6900xt liquid cooled as they
tend to do with their top end card i'm sorry i can't pretend to care it's
system integrators only oneplus has announced that it is merging
with fellow phone brand oppo with oneplus taking the role of a sub brand
this news would be a lot more interesting if everyone hadn't known
this forever and if both brands weren't already owned by bbk electronics making
this merge more a matter of filling out some
forms and formalizing that relationship rather than some kind of true shake-up
of the industry they're both owned by blackberry ah and this i care about though the
first gen oculus quest vr headset will be getting the airlink wireless pc vr
streaming feature that first came to the quest 2 earlier this year
it sucks but is it yo i mean it's wireless what
do you want and uh facebook also announced that they would start putting ads in oculus apps
soon i mean whoa i didn't see that one coming
starlink's receiver dishes are apparently susceptible to overheating as
a customer in arizona found out when he lost internet service for several hours
thanks to a thermal shutdown error and it was only noon though to be fair you
can't really expect optimal conditions for basically anything in arizona except
heat stroke and even the creator of the web sir tim
berners-lee is getting in on the nft craze which is much less of a craze now
but hey he's old he didn't realize yet
at least he's doing it for a good cause though sir tim is auctioning off a
number of collectors items as nfts including the original source code files
for the web with proceeds going to charity so people in need get help the
internet gets hacked and we enter a digital apocalypse everyone wins
and i won this episode see i told you i could host it all i have to do is point
at you when you said it was your personal experience and it's over now come back friday for
more tech news which i will give up willingly i promise that's a tie-in to
the joke that used to be the intro of this video until we changed it i think
it still works
