reviews for the AMD Radeon rx 6800 and 6800 xt they're out and according to the
Linus tech tips video that i just watched the cards are very competitive
compared to the rtx 3070 and 3080 when
it comes to gaming especially at 1080p however once you crank up that ray
tracing and resolution it's clear that NVIDIA still has the upper hand thanks
to their more mature ray tracing cores and extra goodies like dlss on the other
hand the 6800 xt is 50 bucks cheaper than the 3080 which is out of stock
everywhere so you could just pick up one of the AMD cards instead well that is if
they weren't experiencing the exact same stock shortages that have affected every
new tech release in the past few months
well if we can't get an actual unit then
maybe we can get a little schadenfreude from multiple reports that
have emerged of scalpers being robbed in the middle of selling their ill-gotten
stock okay well no hold on a second scalping
is bad but robbing people is also bad so let's not
go all like kevin costner robin hood
here because that's not a great movie the reviews are also
out for apple's new m1 max at least by
the people who apple deemed special enough to receive their units early and
it looks like the part of apple's presentation that was partially accurate
was their claims about power efficiency the m1 soc appears to offer compelling
performance compared to competing pcs without even having to spin up the fans
on the mac mini or macbook pro in many cases
whether the software support will be there seems to be the real question
though and many developers have released app updates with optimizations for m1
but there are also some growing pains google pulled chrome for m1 max to fix
issues before re-releasing it and adobe's apps are a bit glitchy
for the time being but then of course you can use pixelmator pro yeah just
switch it's easy oh and you can also play world of warcraft i was going to
make a dozens of us joke but i mean
are there any mac wild players watching this at all
sound off guys Anthony's working on the full LTT review
by the way so stay tuned for a real apple fanboys perspective in other apple
news the company has completely randomly decided to drop its app store revenue
cut to 15 for small developers thanks to
no actions that were taken by any other
company obviously wow isn't that a coincidence
app developers making less than one million dollars a year from the app
store can now take advantage of the reduced rate which is also selectively
offered to giant players like amazon but how will apple survive now i'm
worried ah well turns out that the small
developers that this policy affects actually make up around 98 of all iOS
developers but they only account for five percent of the app store's revenue
so apple will be just fine perhaps unsurprisingly opponents of the
so-called apple tax like epic games and spotify are well they're unimpressed
because they're not getting the 15 rate after all with the coalition for app
fairness calling the move a symbolic gesture rather than the real change that
is needed to fix the system you know we gotta take down the system man
take it down also epic games just opened another
lawsuit against apple's app store practices in australia this time so the
fight is set to continue on until epic and apple's trial next year

say it Linus just say it i won't come on after capcom downplayed
the impact of a cyber attack it suffered a month ago the company has now
confirmed that files were stolen from its internal network with info like
names addresses and phone numbers of as many as 350
000 customers having been accessed hackers also made off with the source
code for a number of capcom titles which have been leaked online
this sucks but as my grandma used to say well devil
may cry boy that was a boy was that a labored joke
apple has agreed to pay 113 million dollars in another
settlement over batterygate the gate
name that has been given to apple's throttling of older iphone batteries
through a software update apparently if they had just disclosed what they were
doing instead of hiding it it could have all been perfectly legal so remember
kids just explain clearly what you're doing next time you steal your
neighbor's wi-fi and there's nothing they can do about it
actually that you're right i was gonna say you know you're right right
google has relaunched their pay app with new features like banking peer-to-peer
payments and financial tracking because i mean

rollable display it uses an internal motor to expand the
display from 6.7 inches to 7.4 inches

call me when i can unfold my phone like to monitor size like those old paper
maps that our ancient ancestors used to use i used paper maps
