WEBVTT

00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:06.960
wow brave of you to go on the internet to watch this i was on there this

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:11.759
morning and it is it's rough out there okay

00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:15.519
as supply shortages continue to ravage the globe it seems like tech companies

00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:19.359
are scraping the bottom of the barrel gamers nexus is reporting their sources

00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:24.880
claim NVIDIA plans to re-release a version of the nearly three-year-old rtx

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:27.119
2060 with an upgraded 12 gigabytes of

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:32.079
vram a move that has been rumored many times over the past year as tech jesus

00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:35.920
notes it's unclear why a now low tier card would get so much RAM but the move

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:41.440
makes about as much sense as anything else going on out there in the world these days british columbia is being

00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:45.920
flooded months after our towns caught fire from the heat dome dennis is an

00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:49.360
emotional wreck he's barely standing up behind the camera des you're gonna be

00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:54.559
it's gonna be fine ASUS is also releasing new creator-focused vivobook

00:00:51.680 --> 00:01:00.000
OLED laptops with a gtx 1650 as an option although that GPU is equipped

00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:01.840
with gddr6 instead of gddr5 but the

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:06.240
point is we may be getting to the point where your only options for hardware

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:09.760
upgrades are parts from two years ago back when they made things to last

00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:15.600
those were the days

00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:19.119
but if you are hell-bent on acquiring new hardware a cascade of leaks

00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:23.280
concerning Intel's upcoming mobile versions of their 12th gen alder lake

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:29.520
processors has hit the web a geekbench result has the core i712700h

00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:31.759
performing worse than the 11800h in

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:38.400
single core performance but slightly better in multicore and we've got the

00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:40.320
12800h beating the ryzen 5800h by 25

00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:43.840
specs for various skus in the lineup have also leaked and there's even some

00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:48.560
unreleased desktop processors being peddled on ebay although they appear to

00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:52.240
largely be engineering samples so if you're just a gamer looking for a few

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:56.159
extra frames i'd probably leave those alone let the linuses of the world

00:01:54.399 --> 00:01:59.680
overpay for the privilege of wasting days trying to get a sketchy chip to

00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:04.320
work it's what he's good at we make youtube videos and today

00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:08.239
microsoft is celebrating 20 years since the introduction of the first xbox

00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:13.680
console with the surprise release of halo infinite's free to play multiplayer

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:17.760
mode on console npc i already downloaded it want to play dennis

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:22.520
big halo guy what's your gun of choice say the

00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.520
needler

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:29.200
we also got a teaser for the halo tv series coming to paramount plus of all

00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:34.959
places apparently starring the master chief and cortana oh that is not going

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:38.879
to be good probably phil spencer gave an interview that pretty much confirmed

00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:43.280
elder scrolls 6 as an xbox slash game pass exclusive but again that might be

00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:47.120
better news than it originally seemed given that trying to buy a ps5 right now

00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:51.840
is like trying to hit somebody with a spartan laser why did they make that so

00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:57.040
hard microsoft also added 70 backwards compatible titles with support for auto

00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:59.519
HDR and fbs boost and i hope nintendo is

00:02:57.040 --> 00:03:03.040
watching meanwhile ubisoft comes in here with a tweet about it being the 10 year

00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:07.599
anniversary of assassin's creed revelations like come on read the room

00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:11.200
this isn't about you ubisoft

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:15.440
it's about the pew pew now it's time for quick bits brought to you by sea sonic

00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:20.000
and their prime tx 1 000 watt power supply for high performance systems it's

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:23.360
got an 80 plus titanium rating meaning less power gets wasted during power

00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:28.000
conversion and more gets funneled towards your awesome other pc components

00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:32.480
that you won't be upgrading anytime soon the prime tx is fully modular with

00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:39.040
hybrid fan control and fluid dynamic fan bearings to reduce overall fan noise and

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:41.200
comes with a 12 year 12 year warranty

00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:47.120
learn more at seasonic.com or the link below quick bits are the way we connect

00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:50.720
to the universe around us they oh my god here they come russia appears to have

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:55.280
blown up its own satellite with a ground-based missile as part of a

00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:59.439
weapons test resulting in at least 1500 pieces of debris that may have buzzed

00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:03.200
the international space station multiple times the u.s state department is

00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:07.840
condemning russia's actions because what the but apparently space capable

00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:12.000
countries do this all the time and worry about consequences later which is why we

00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:15.760
need elon in charge of all this he'll sort things out maybe tweet about the

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:20.720
debris and it will crash i don't know ASUS has joined Gigabyte in releasing

00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:25.360
official firmware updates for old a320 motherboards that will allow them to use

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:28.720
current gen ryzen 5000 processors it's another move that will let users hold on

00:04:26.960 --> 00:04:31.919
to old tech as long as they're okay missing out on some cutting edge

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:36.560
features it's like choosing to eat a two week old sandwich for lunch like i did

00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:40.880
today yeah it doesn't taste great but i'm doing fine

00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:44.800
hackers were able to send official looking emails from a compromised fbi

00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:50.800
server late last week in an apparent attempt to frame vinnie troya who's not

00:04:48.320 --> 00:04:54.639
a member of the mafia but the leader of some web security firms for data

00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:58.800
breaches why am i not surprised by the fact the fbi's emails got hacked is it

00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:03.360
because i imagined them as old guys in baggy suits probably still running

00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:07.440
Windows xp at home yes my entire mental image of them is based off miss

00:05:04.479 --> 00:05:11.440
congeniality did you see that dennis sandra bullock great performance

00:05:09.919 --> 00:05:16.320
rockstar has finally brought the remastered gta trilogy definitive

00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:19.919
edition back to a playable state on pc although not all the game's performance

00:05:17.919 --> 00:05:24.080
issues have been addressed modders are working on that though fixing key

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:27.600
problems like the game's rain system for a game about incorrigible criminals

00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:34.080
there's sure a lot of altruism going on there you can grand theft my auto anytime in

00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:40.000
in a video game not it and ibm has unveiled eagle a new 127 cubit quantum

00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:44.320
processor that the company claims cannot be simulated by a classical computer

00:05:42.320 --> 00:05:48.479
they're not claiming quantum supremacy like google did in 2019 in which almost

00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:52.240
everyone disputes and they're also not stating the processor's quantum volume

00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:57.199
which is a general measure of its capability it's just it's just a quantum

00:05:54.800 --> 00:06:01.280
processor okay maybe it's pretty good but hey that's quantum computing where

00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:05.280
everything's made up and the qubits don't matter time for me to make up a

00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:09.520
reason to end this episode come back on wednesday for more tech news maybe

00:06:07.039 --> 00:06:14.199
you'll catch us in superposition or not

00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:14.199
or both
