00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:08.400
did you know that approximately eight newsworthy tech stories happen every day

00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:12.559
and you can help them now by donating five dollars at the link below what are

00:00:10.559 --> 00:00:16.960
you up to this weekend the pizza party oh that's cool because amd decided their

00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:22.480
friday plans involved launching a ridiculous four thousand dollar desktop

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:25.840
cpu with no real competitor

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:27.840
no the threadripper 3990x is the first

00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:31.559
64 core processor for the high-end desktop space and it's available now

00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:36.480
for 3990 us dollars apparently it's in a

00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:43.280
league of its own as intel's closest competitor in terms of price is the xeon

00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:45.840
w3275 with a mere 28 cores

00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:50.640
get out of here bush league and it's also 500 bucks more expensive and

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

00:00:53.840 --> 00:01:01.440
as linus and anthony explained in the full review over on ltt is that it's

00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:03.920
limited to 256 gigs of memory which hey

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

00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:12.640
targeting that's actually kind of low with other hed cpus supporting up to one

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

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:21.680
of going a bit mad with power you know they're buying fancy sport cars mansions

00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:26.240
and uh-oh maybe some mistakes are made that anger the wrong type of people and

00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:30.080
the stage is set for like a scarface style shootout you know you gotta be

00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:34.799
careful here elisa all right oh yeah that's yeah that's not good

00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:39.439
motorola has officially launched the new razer phone with a foldable display and

00:01:37.119 --> 00:01:43.040
um things aren't looking too hot one of the first questions people will always

00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:48.560
ask about any foldable devices it's how durable it is and the razer is putting

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:50.560
up a not great showing so far in-store

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:56.079
models are showing vertical lines across the screen as well as just straight up

00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:59.600
broken displays and a fold test by cnet

00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:01.759
found that after 27 000 folds the hinge

00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:06.880
mechanism started clicking weirdly and resisted being folded now hey that's

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

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:15.120
like a lot of folds but apparently the average iphone user unlocks their phone

00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:20.720
to facetime their barista around 80 times a day so 27 000 folds that

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

00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:28.239
off yet but it's 1500 bucks

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:31.520
i wanted to at least stand up to me throwing at the wall in frustration

00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:36.319
every time i try to check the sports ball scores and facial recognition

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:41.280
startup clearview ai is being told to back off by tech giants like facebook

00:02:38.959 --> 00:02:45.680
google and linkedin you see clearview has built a database of faces based off

00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:50.480
publicly available photos on social media they say that such a database can

00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:54.319
help and has helped law enforcement to quickly identify persons of interest

00:02:56.959 --> 00:03:02.800
however the tech big boys think that scraping faces this way violates their

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:06.560
policies and have demanded that clearview stop the practice with

00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:10.560
linkedin going so far as to send a cease and desist letter but clearview says

00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:14.879
they're perfectly within their rights to catalog publicly available photos since

00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:18.959
americans have a first amendment right to public information and really what

00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:22.800
they're doing isn't that different from what google does index and direct people

00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:27.040
towards the information they're searching for which on the one hand is

00:03:25.519 --> 00:03:30.400
like yeah okay fine but on the other hand it's

00:03:29.040 --> 00:03:35.120
like yeah really though not really i'll see you at

00:03:32.959 --> 00:03:39.200
the supreme court james you're on that other guy's face we do now it's time for

00:04:19.840 --> 00:04:25.919
it's evergreek with amd knocking it out of the park

00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:30.479
right now everyone's starting to turn on intel even apple code from the latest

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:37.600
mac os beta contains references to several amd processors including picasso

00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:39.600
renoir and van gogh apus it's a vertical

00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:43.440
renaissance everybody cheered when ea brought their

00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:48.320
games back to steam after keeping them locked on their own origin store for a

00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:50.639
while but now the cheering has died down

00:04:48.320 --> 00:04:56.479
because the prices for ea games on steam has been jacked up in the uk canada

00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:59.919
europe brazil and russia in some cases the steam prices are double the origin

00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:04.960
ones well frankly i'm thinking uh i'm thankful for

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

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:14.160
i know i do well i'm right back with i'm right back with you

00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:18.960
come on whoa look at this crazy thing it's a

00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:23.440
laptop called the peevo book with a screen that can rotate from landscape to

00:05:21.039 --> 00:05:28.160
portrait mode it's made by taiwan's compile electronics which usually they

00:05:26.320 --> 00:05:31.919
usually don't make their own laptops so we may see designs like this coming soon

00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:35.280
from companies like dell or hp this is gonna be for like when the smartphone

00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:38.639
generation kids are in the workforce and then everyone's just typing on like

00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:42.160
smartphone laptops vertical screens so they can

00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:46.479
check their snapchats and spreadsheets at the same time chrome is rolling out

00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:51.919
new features that allow users to block select ads deemed too heavy or intrusive

00:05:50.080 --> 00:05:55.440
and you can also block those pop-ups that ask you to enable notifications

00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:59.120
because why would i stop asking

00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:04.080
but in case you forgot chrome is also taking away features namely flash later

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:08.240
this year so thankfully flashpoint is a huge archive of thousands of flash games

00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:12.720
that you can download yourself if you want to just pretend that you never aged

00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:16.560
past 14 for a little bit and big news james

00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:20.479
ford has created a jacket for cyclists that can display emoji on the back

00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:25.039
cool right the jacket can signal to cars what the

00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:28.639
cyclist intends to do like turn or slow down

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

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

00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:40.080
telling like everyone that you're having a bad day like watch out

00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:45.759
did you see the season finale

00:06:43.520 --> 00:06:49.280
all right and i have to say no thanks what tomorrow tech news for today

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

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:56.319
next time hopefully i'll be more eloquent i'm sorry
