wow brave of you to go on the internet to watch this i was on there this
morning and it is it's rough out there okay
as supply shortages continue to ravage the globe it seems like tech companies
are scraping the bottom of the barrel gamers nexus is reporting their sources
claim NVIDIA plans to re-release a version of the nearly three-year-old rtx
2060 with an upgraded 12 gigabytes of
vram a move that has been rumored many times over the past year as tech jesus
notes it's unclear why a now low tier card would get so much RAM but the move
makes about as much sense as anything else going on out there in the world these days british columbia is being
flooded months after our towns caught fire from the heat dome dennis is an
emotional wreck he's barely standing up behind the camera des you're gonna be
it's gonna be fine ASUS is also releasing new creator-focused vivobook
OLED laptops with a gtx 1650 as an option although that GPU is equipped
with gddr6 instead of gddr5 but the
point is we may be getting to the point where your only options for hardware
upgrades are parts from two years ago back when they made things to last
those were the days
but if you are hell-bent on acquiring new hardware a cascade of leaks
concerning Intel's upcoming mobile versions of their 12th gen alder lake
processors has hit the web a geekbench result has the core i712700h
performing worse than the 11800h in
single core performance but slightly better in multicore and we've got the
12800h beating the ryzen 5800h by 25
specs for various skus in the lineup have also leaked and there's even some
unreleased desktop processors being peddled on ebay although they appear to
largely be engineering samples so if you're just a gamer looking for a few
extra frames i'd probably leave those alone let the linuses of the world
overpay for the privilege of wasting days trying to get a sketchy chip to
work it's what he's good at we make youtube videos and today
microsoft is celebrating 20 years since the introduction of the first xbox
console with the surprise release of halo infinite's free to play multiplayer
mode on console npc i already downloaded it want to play dennis
big halo guy what's your gun of choice say the
needler
we also got a teaser for the halo tv series coming to paramount plus of all
places apparently starring the master chief and cortana oh that is not going
to be good probably phil spencer gave an interview that pretty much confirmed
elder scrolls 6 as an xbox slash game pass exclusive but again that might be
better news than it originally seemed given that trying to buy a ps5 right now
is like trying to hit somebody with a spartan laser why did they make that so
hard microsoft also added 70 backwards compatible titles with support for auto
HDR and fbs boost and i hope nintendo is
watching meanwhile ubisoft comes in here with a tweet about it being the 10 year
anniversary of assassin's creed revelations like come on read the room
this isn't about you ubisoft
it's about the pew pew now it's time for quick bits brought to you by sea sonic
and their prime tx 1 000 watt power supply for high performance systems it's

conversion and more gets funneled towards your awesome other pc components
that you won't be upgrading anytime soon the prime tx is fully modular with
hybrid fan control and fluid dynamic fan bearings to reduce overall fan noise and

to the universe around us they oh my god here they come russia appears to have
blown up its own satellite with a ground-based missile as part of a
weapons test resulting in at least 1500 pieces of debris that may have buzzed
the international space station multiple times the u.s state department is
condemning russia's actions because what the but apparently space capable
countries do this all the time and worry about consequences later which is why we
need elon in charge of all this he'll sort things out maybe tweet about the
debris and it will crash i don't know ASUS has joined Gigabyte in releasing
official firmware updates for old a320 motherboards that will allow them to use
current gen ryzen 5000 processors it's another move that will let users hold on
to old tech as long as they're okay missing out on some cutting edge
features it's like choosing to eat a two week old sandwich for lunch like i did
today yeah it doesn't taste great but i'm doing fine
hackers were able to send official looking emails from a compromised fbi
server late last week in an apparent attempt to frame vinnie troya who's not
a member of the mafia but the leader of some web security firms for data
breaches why am i not surprised by the fact the fbi's emails got hacked is it
because i imagined them as old guys in baggy suits probably still running
Windows xp at home yes my entire mental image of them is based off miss
congeniality did you see that dennis sandra bullock great performance
rockstar has finally brought the remastered gta trilogy definitive
edition back to a playable state on pc although not all the game's performance
issues have been addressed modders are working on that though fixing key
problems like the game's rain system for a game about incorrigible criminals
there's sure a lot of altruism going on there you can grand theft my auto anytime in
in a video game not it and ibm has unveiled eagle a new 127 cubit quantum
processor that the company claims cannot be simulated by a classical computer
they're not claiming quantum supremacy like google did in 2019 in which almost
everyone disputes and they're also not stating the processor's quantum volume
which is a general measure of its capability it's just it's just a quantum
processor okay maybe it's pretty good but hey that's quantum computing where
everything's made up and the qubits don't matter time for me to make up a
reason to end this episode come back on wednesday for more tech news maybe
you'll catch us in superposition or not
or both
