00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:07,080
hi welcome back to TechLink don't ask NVIDIA has announced

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:12,160
that it plans to launch its new NVIDIA app out of beta before the end of this

3
00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:16,800
year now users with some combination of the NVIDIA control panel the GeForce

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:21,480
experience app and the RTX experience app already on their PC may be

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:26,519
experiencing some apprehension but the new app is actually intended to unify

6
00:00:24,279 --> 00:00:31,759
the features of all three apps and in the darkness bind them into a single

7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:36,760
streamline experience we've had three yes what about fourth

8
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:39,239
up NVIDIA has also added a handful of

9
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:44,520
new features such as a toggle for g-sync multim monitor support for RTX HDR and

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:49,039
Driver roll back back heck yeah the app allows users to sort their games the way

11
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:54,320
they want and the new UI allows users to customize the font and colors in case

12
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:58,079
neon green on black just doesn't jive with your particular brand of Dyslexia

13
00:00:56,359 --> 00:01:04,119
but NVIDIA is not the only one bringing cool new features out of beta AMD the

14
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:06,320
Perpetual Ash to NVIDIA's Gary launched

15
00:01:04,119 --> 00:01:10,880
fluid motion frames 2 alongside the rollout of its

16
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,680
24.9 adrenaline driver AF mf2

17
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:17,159
demonstrates substantial performance gains and fixes the first version's

18
00:01:14,759 --> 00:01:21,280
notorious input lag issue it also comes with improved geometric downscaling just

19
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,680
in case you're the kind of psychopath who likes watching movies in a super

20
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:29,360
tiny window rather than their native size I need to make room for Subway

21
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:33,439
Surfers a pair of students at Harvard have released a paper on an experiment

22
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:38,439
they conducted where they ran facial recognition software through a pair of

23
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:42,960
meta smart glasses the glasses would then automatically cross reference that

24
00:01:40,399 --> 00:01:47,280
face with social media and compile a profile on the person including name

25
00:01:45,479 --> 00:01:51,759
biographical information personal associations and even sometimes

26
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:56,399
addresses the students filmed themselves approaching strangers in public places

27
00:01:53,719 --> 00:02:00,399
greeting them by name and claiming to have met them previously through a

28
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:04,880
shared event or organization while the system was occasionally

29
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:09,280
inaccurate this is a clear demonstration of how such technology could be used for

30
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:12,599
harm by a malicious actor just think about the last time somebody who knew

31
00:02:10,679 --> 00:02:15,599
your name occupation and birth date stopped you on the street literally

32
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:19,760
never happened to me and I'm vaguely famous I'd probably assume I was the

33
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:24,200
jerich who forgot my old acquaintance and their snazzy glasses how could I

34
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:28,879
forget those the student group has committed to not releasing the tool that

35
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:33,840
they showed everyone that they had but meta won't even commit to not training

36
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:37,599
their AI using smart glasses photos a feature that can notably be set off

37
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:43,000
accidentally using common keywords such as look meta much like a giant

38
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:47,400
irradiated squid Kaiju seems determined to use every tendril of its organization

39
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:51,599
to violate our privacy in new and horrible ways previously known only to

40
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:56,599
science fiction and ELD horror but Mark looks great doesn't he who cares if he

41
00:02:53,800 --> 00:03:00,480
made a deal with cthulu Microsoft is rolling out voice and vision

42
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:05,239
capabilities for its AI assistant co-pilot as well as enhanced reasoning

43
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,840
which would be a big deal if it wasn't for the fact that most Microsoft AI

44
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:13,480
Innovations are actually just open AI innovations that were already rolled out

45
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:15,200
several weeks ago it's been 28 years but

46
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:19,720
despite the odds Microsoft is still trying to make clippy happen with an

47
00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:23,360
assistant that has a friendly human-like voice that dynamically responds to the

48
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:29,200
user's emotions and makes interjections like cool and huh to give the impression

49
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,920
of active listening it's as good a reminder as to try to call up your

50
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:37,040
actual friends and make plans this weekend you may be lonely but please

51
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:41,120
don't be making small talk with lobotomized Cortana lonely if it was

52
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:47,000
Sydney it'd be a whole another thing but she's gone according to Microsoft AI SAR

53
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,400
Mustafa sulan we're just a year away

54
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:53,439
from everpresent highly capable AI assistants but he kind of has to make

55
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:58,319
big claims like that given how crowded the field of AI development has gotten

56
00:03:55,519 --> 00:04:03,040
with deep pocketed Tech Giants Gemini live Google's own in enhanced voice mode

57
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:09,079
is now freely available to all Android users while NVIDIA just announced its

58
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,640
own GPT 4 class open- Source AI model

59
00:04:09,079 --> 00:04:14,720
with weights already available and training code coming soon I didn't see

60
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:18,440
that coming honestly at this point Taylor Swift could surprise drop a new

61
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:22,040
AI assistant next week and it' only be a little weird it'd be more weird if I

62
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:26,280
didn't tell you about our sponsor private internet access their VPN masks

63
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,440
the location of your internet connection using an encrypted tunnel preventing

64
00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:35,360
third parties from accessing your browser housing habits because tunnels make them

65
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,240
claustrophobic hot tip even better the

66
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:41,639
tunnel lets you access content from around the world or local content when

67
00:04:39,479 --> 00:04:46,039
you're traveling Pia's vast server Network spans over 91 countries and a

68
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:50,360
single subscription allows unlimited connections PA is available on basically

69
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:56,240
any device and the company never records or stores user data check out Pia lg. g/

71
00:04:59,039 --> 00:05:04,880
guarantee I'm just realizing the the potential

72
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:16,280
here quick bits uh I'll tell you eventually Indie app developer Christian

73
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:21,120
selig best known for the now defunct Apollo app for Reddit has now had Juno

74
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:26,160
his thirdparty YouTube app for The Vision Pro shut down most likely at

75
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Google's request while selig probably saw this coming the closure means that

76
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:35,919
there is no longer a YouTube app for the platform YouTube claimed that a native

77
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:39,319
app for Vision Pro was on its road map back in February but that the company

78
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:43,919
was focused on ensuring a great experience in Safari an experience that

79
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,840
continued to suck for several months afterwards what are the odds that we get

80
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:51,520
an official YouTube app on meta Orion

81
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:57,120
before we get one on the Vision Pro Mark looks really good I can't

82
00:05:55,199 --> 00:06:00,319
stress this enough I cannot tell you how good his curls look after that cthulu

83
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:06,800
deal AMD's new flagship x870 and x870

84
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:12,599
motherboards are now available and that's fine the x870 non could be

85
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:17,720
considered a downgrade for some use cases since it has the same single

86
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:20,759
Promontory 21 die configuration as last

87
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:23,080
gen's lower tier b650 mobos and on top

88
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:28,240
of that some PCIe Lanes will need to be dedicated to accommodating USB 4 which

89
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:34,560
is great provided you can take advantage of USB 4 more objectively bad is that

90
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:37,199
many x870 motherboards do support Wi-Fi

91
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:43,080
7 but don't have the hardware to go above Wi-Fi 6E speeds because once again

92
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:49,120
tech specs don't actually mean anything and are purely Vibes based Reddit has

93
00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:52,840
changed its settings to stop users from protesting last year when the API

94
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:56,879
changes were announced redditors protested by turning subreddits private

95
00:06:54,919 --> 00:07:00,199
or only showing not safe for work content right it was a bit of a

96
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:03,960
Minefield for a second there Now setting a subreddit to private or changing a

97
00:07:02,039 --> 00:07:10,440
safe for work subreddit to not safe for work requires reddits permission VP of

98
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:15,759
community Laura nestler told The Verge that the change has been in motion since

99
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:17,759
at least 2021 but it was accelerated by

100
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:23,080
last year's events the official Reddit post says protests are still allowed

101
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:30,120
just not ones that actually impact the site you know protests Reddit can ignore

102
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:35,080
you have the right to protest in your own basement it's the only King joke

103
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:40,440
I've made in this episode and California has updated its consumer Privacy Act to

104
00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:45,000
protect individuals neural data preventing Tech firms from collecting

105
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:48,639
sharing or selling info collected from your nervous system a similar law

106
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:53,000
protecting brain data was passed in Colorado earlier this year unfortunately

107
00:07:51,159 --> 00:07:57,360
this is necessary because the dark future is approaching and someone has to

108
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,120
stop the corpos from trying to download your Consciousness while you scroll a

109
00:07:58,919 --> 00:08:07,080
brain dance I never played cyberpunk so I don't know what I just said but it felt

110
00:08:04,639 --> 00:08:11,039
cool and okay fine I'll tell you why I'm dressed this way it's Riley week on Flo

111
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:15,879
plane so I guess that means that I've dressed like a king I'm the king of flow

112
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:19,039
plane I got to make videos like however I want so watch these

113
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:27,440
clips got to get the blood up the core issue with Star Wars today as I see it

114
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:32,680
is that it's struggling to change itself how is your Tim Cook impression so good

115
00:08:29,599 --> 00:08:34,919
I don't know the ship is not moving

116
00:08:32,680 --> 00:08:39,560
shoot the ship what does being a minimalist actually mean I'm going to be

117
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:44,279
so loud I'm going to be so disruptive Bing Bong how is Riley's

118
00:08:47,519 --> 00:08:52,800
mom you keep my mom's name out you so

119
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:59,200
subscribe to Flo plane if you want to see those and come back on Friday for more Tech news and also on Friday my 20

120
00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:05,560
minute rant about Star Wars on float play as I've mentioned be there Chum

121
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,560
still don't know what that means
