00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:08,400
did you know that approximately eight newsworthy tech stories happen every day

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:12,559
and you can help them now by donating five dollars at the link below what are

3
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:16,960
you up to this weekend the pizza party oh that's cool because AMD decided their

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:22,480
friday plans involved launching a ridiculous four thousand dollar desktop

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:25,840
CPU with no real competitor

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:27,840
no the threadripper 3990x is the first

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:31,559
64 core processor for the high-end desktop space and it's available now

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:36,480
for 3990 us dollars apparently it's in a

9
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:43,280
league of its own as Intel's closest competitor in terms of price is the xeon

10
00:00:39,399 --> 00:00:45,840
w3275 with a mere 28 cores

11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:50,640
get out of here bush league and it's also 500 bucks more expensive and

12
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:55,600
doesn't come near the 3990x in terms of performance so go away the one big issue

13
00:00:53,840 --> 00:01:01,440
as Linus and Anthony explained in the full review over on LTT is that it's

14
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:03,920
limited to 256 gigs of memory which hey

15
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:07,439
that seems like a lot to normies like us but for the market that this chip is

16
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:12,640
targeting that's actually kind of low with other hed cpus supporting up to one

17
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:16,240
terabyte of RAM so i guess this is the part of AMD's story where they're kind

18
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:21,680
of going a bit mad with power you know they're buying fancy sport cars mansions

19
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:26,240
and uh-oh maybe some mistakes are made that anger the wrong type of people and

20
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:30,080
the stage is set for like a scarface style shootout you know you gotta be

21
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:34,799
careful here elisa all right oh yeah that's yeah that's not good

22
00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:39,439
motorola has officially launched the new razer phone with a foldable display and

23
00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:43,040
um things aren't looking too hot one of the first questions people will always

24
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:48,560
ask about any foldable devices it's how durable it is and the razer is putting

25
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:50,560
up a not great showing so far in-store

26
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:56,079
models are showing vertical lines across the screen as well as just straight up

27
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:59,600
broken displays and a fold test by cnet

28
00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:01,759
found that after 27 000 folds the hinge

29
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:06,880
mechanism started clicking weirdly and resisted being folded now hey that's

30
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:11,200
like a day for me yeah well you'll find out here in a second now that sounds

31
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:15,120
like a lot of folds but apparently the average iphone user unlocks their phone

32
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:20,720
to facetime their barista around 80 times a day so 27 000 folds that

33
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:26,480
translate to about a year of use a day for james look i'm not writing the thing

34
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:28,239
off yet but it's 1500 bucks

35
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,520
i wanted to at least stand up to me throwing at the wall in frustration

36
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:36,319
every time i try to check the sports ball scores and facial recognition

37
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:41,280
startup clearview ai is being told to back off by tech giants like facebook

38
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:45,680
google and linkedin you see clearview has built a database of faces based off

39
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:50,480
publicly available photos on social media they say that such a database can

40
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:54,319
help and has helped law enforcement to quickly identify persons of interest

41
00:02:56,959 --> 00:03:02,800
however the tech big boys think that scraping faces this way violates their

42
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:06,560
policies and have demanded that clearview stop the practice with

43
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:10,560
linkedin going so far as to send a cease and desist letter but clearview says

44
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:14,879
they're perfectly within their rights to catalog publicly available photos since

45
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:18,959
americans have a first amendment right to public information and really what

46
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:22,800
they're doing isn't that different from what google does index and direct people

47
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:27,040
towards the information they're searching for which on the one hand is

48
00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:30,400
like yeah okay fine but on the other hand it's

49
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:35,120
like yeah really though not really i'll see you at

50
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:39,200

62
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:25,919
it's evergreek with AMD knocking it out of the park

63
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:30,479
right now everyone's starting to turn on Intel even apple code from the latest

64
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:37,600
macOS beta contains references to several AMD processors including picasso

65
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:39,600
renoir and van gogh apus it's a vertical

66
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:43,440
renaissance everybody cheered when ea brought their

67
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:48,320
games back to steam after keeping them locked on their own origin store for a

68
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:50,639
while but now the cheering has died down

69
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:56,479
because the prices for ea games on steam has been jacked up in the uk canada

70
00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:59,919
europe brazil and russia in some cases the steam prices are double the origin

71
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:04,960
ones well frankly i'm thinking uh i'm thankful for

72
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:10,960
this because i was confused for a bit there are we supposed to hate ea or not

73
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:14,160
i know i do well i'm right back with i'm right back with you

74
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,960
come on whoa look at this crazy thing it's a

75
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:23,440
laptop called the peevo book with a screen that can rotate from landscape to

76
00:05:21,039 --> 00:05:28,160
portrait mode it's made by taiwan's compile electronics which usually they

77
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,919
usually don't make their own laptops so we may see designs like this coming soon

78
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:35,280
from companies like dell or hp this is gonna be for like when the smartphone

79
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,639
generation kids are in the workforce and then everyone's just typing on like

80
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:42,160
smartphone laptops vertical screens so they can

81
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:46,479
check their snapchats and spreadsheets at the same time chrome is rolling out

82
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:51,919
new features that allow users to block select ads deemed too heavy or intrusive

83
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:55,440
and you can also block those pop-ups that ask you to enable notifications

84
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:59,120
because why would i stop asking

85
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:04,080
but in case you forgot chrome is also taking away features namely flash later

86
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:08,240
this year so thankfully flashpoint is a huge archive of thousands of flash games

87
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:12,720
that you can download yourself if you want to just pretend that you never aged

88
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:16,560
past 14 for a little bit and big news james

89
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:20,479
ford has created a jacket for cyclists that can display emoji on the back

90
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:25,039
cool right the jacket can signal to cars what the

91
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:28,639
cyclist intends to do like turn or slow down

92
00:06:26,479 --> 00:06:33,360
it can anything you want but it can also display the writer's mood you can put

93
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,400
like spaces on it like oh happy face sad face but who's gonna be riding around

94
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:40,080
telling like everyone that you're having a bad day like watch out

95
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:45,759
did you see the season finale

96
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:49,280
all right and i have to say no thanks what tomorrow tech news for today

97
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,720
because this episode's over and i can't talk anymore clearly so i'll see you

98
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,319
next time hopefully i'll be more eloquent i'm sorry
