it's a beautiful day for tech news i'm guessing because i haven't seen the
sun in months google stadia will apparently overcome the lag associated
with streaming games by achieving something called negative latency
i guess stadius vp okay we got a heckle from upstairs
stadius vp of engineering majbakar even told edge magazine that in a year or two
games on stadia will run faster and feel more responsive than games being run
locally and no it won't even involve a time warp
crystal stadia will apparently achieve this through a combination of incredibly
powerful harbor and its data centers which will run games at incredibly high
frame rates and by using ai to predict user inputs now everybody's been
trashing this negative latency thing online because negative latency would
literally mean that you see the results of your actions before you even do them
but as one computer engineer pointed out what the stadia rep means is is probably
something like branch prediction a common technique used to processors it
just remains to be seen how well this technique will work when applied to
fast-paced combat in triple a games
my guess not very well
google is widely expected to reveal the pixel 4 on tuesday and now we're pretty
sure they'll be revealing something else as well thanks to nine to five google
leaking extensive photos and videos of
the device the pixelbook go is apparently google's next flagship chrome
os device they rename these things every year
it's a clamshell laptop this time as opposed to last year's pixel slate
tablet and what was it the year before that
who cared no one cared every time that's
it's got a 13.3 inch 4k display two usb
c ports and a 3.5 millimeter headphone
jack what are those but more importantly the bottom of the device has a ribbed
texture presumably to make it look a little less like a google version of
apple's white plastic macbook from 2004 or whatever that thing was i had one of
those this one's different you did yeah it was great the pixelbook go will
reportedly run an Intel core i7 CPU 16
gigabytes of RAM and 256 gigabytes of storage but we'll get all the real
details next week because we're going to be there baby at
the launch stop wasting your time right now don't listen to this
the future and valve has announced a new feature
coming to steam soon called remote play
together it will allow gamers who aren't
physically together to play local multiplayer together as if they were
together you get it the idea is this if you
didn't get it say i've got a game with split screen co-op but riley doesn't
because he's cheap and he's waiting for it to appear on a steam sale i launch
the game then i invite riley to play then he controls a virtual local player
on my machine and the game streams from my rig to his so we can both play
wow you'll play with me this is a hypothetical while the feature could
ensure that couch co-op games get played more often it could also discourage
people from actually coming over to play real couch co-op and then
who's gonna eat the party size pretzel mix that i've been saving
just kidding it's gone now it's time for the quick brits brought to you by
brilliant effective learning is active not passive
it's better to dive in and to do things yourself than it is to just listen to
hours of lectures from riley
that's why brilliant provides you with the frameworks you need to think about
and solve math and science problems they take complex concepts break them up into
bite-sized little chunks and then build it all back up into an interesting
conclusion so join more than 5.5 million

TechLinked and the first 200 of you to do so will get 20 off check it out now
at the link below all right you're back time for the quick
bits oneplus has yet again launched another phone in the middle of the year
the oneplus 7t pro but unlike the 7t which launched as a
paired down version of the oneplus 7 the 7t pro is actually an upgraded version
of the 7 pro
it's got a snapdragon 855 plus but you know what
who cares because it's not coming to north america anyway and north america
is the only part of the world that i've ever heard of so that's pretty
close-minded jane at least it's three countries and not one adobe has changed
course like a boat and we'll refund venezuelan customers
after the company previously announced that they'd be canceling their creative
cloud subscriptions adobe originally said that they wouldn't give refunds
because trump's executive order required the cessation of all business activity
which is a pretty sweet excuse although it doesn't seem like that plan was even
really targeted at regular venezuelans but rather to the country's government
also behance is still available so yes
behance away
images have leaked of a zotac gtx 1660 super and according to video cards we'll
be seeing the launch of this GPU alongside the gtx 1650 ti on tuesday
october 22nd tuesday i guess the 1650
is just below the threshold for being cool enough to get a super variant
sorry sidekick status AMD doesn't have any graphics hardware
on the market right now with ray tracing capability but if
industry sources are correct there has actually been ray tracing software
support in radian drivers since july and we might see it publicly released in
december ah i can imagine each one of
those beautiful 14 raid traced frames per second that a radius 7 will put out
glorious ryzen fans have been waiting for so long
for AMD to release the value-oriented b550 chipset in motherboards and now
eagle-eyed redditors have spotted one in a cyberpower pre-built pc available at
bus buy of all things that lines up with previous rumors claiming that we'll see
a board in pre-built which also claimed that we won't get standalone desktop
boards until 2020. so hold on bang for buckers
uh that doesn't sound right that sounds weird
and it's not right to continue this episode either so
it's time to stop
come back monday and tuesday and wednesday
that's enough for this week yeah you can keep talking if you want
