WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.400 Well, everyone, World War II is almost here. Or maybe we've already been in it. 00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:10.080 But at least I can take a Tesla robo taxi to the enlistment office and 00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:14.639 distract myself with hardware news on the ride over. That's right, the robo 00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:19.359 taxi is alive. Sort of. The program launched this weekend with Model Y's, 00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:23.920 not cyber cabs, in Austin, Texas, and was limited to invitees, many of whom 00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:29.279 were, surprise surprise, proTesla influencers, in a small geoenced area to 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:33.600 avoid construction, major highways, and complex intersections is scary. Tesla is 00:00:31.599 --> 00:00:37.440 allegedly using a special version of full self-driving that's not available 00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:42.399 to the average Tesla owner. Of course not. It's not like people paid for full 00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:43.840 self-driving years ago. They did. Oh, 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:47.840 they did. Well, kind of sounds like Tesla doesn't 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:52.480 trust the technology yet, which is even more apparent by their inclusion of 00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:56.399 safety monitors. These are people there. It's like Amazon with the cameras. These 00:00:54.160 --> 00:01:01.600 are people. Elon promised unsupervised trips by June. It is June, but this 00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:05.840 launch not only has Chase cars in some instances following the 10 to 20 Model 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:10.240 Y's, but each taxi also has safety bonders in the front passenger seats 00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:14.159 with kill switches ready to end the trip. Better than your life. Most 00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:18.159 patrons said their rides were uneventful. Hail the car with the robo 00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:22.799 taxi app. Find it at the pickup location, show the safety monitor your 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:29.360 phone, and away you go out into the wild blue geoence yonder and straight into 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:33.600 perhaps oncoming traffic. Thankfully, there have been no accidents yet. Elon 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:37.119 stated that there will be over a thousand driverless vehicles within a 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:42.159 few months, and rides currently only cost a flat rate, regardless of 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:45.040 distance, of $4.20. Oh, Elon, you're so 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:48.960 quirky. That's the weed number, man. That's like the 69th time he said that. 00:01:47.119 --> 00:01:54.159 Nice. Speaking of rich people stuff, soon your 5090 could pull a,000 watts. 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:57.840 We've actually got a few GPU tidbits for you here, but let's start with Derbau 00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:02.880 shunt modding a liquid cooled Astral card to draw a conservative 800 watts. 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:09.520 Definitely not the limit, but enough to outperform the super expensive RTX Pro 00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:12.879 6000. in 3D Mark Speedway. It may have 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.440 been only by like 6 FPS, but hey, that 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:20.400 card costs overs $10,000. A win's a win. Hate NVIDIA. Dozens of Linux and Intel 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:27.040 Arc users can rejoice. It's been found that disabling Intel's graphics security 00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:30.239 mitigations can net a nice 20% uplift in 00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:32.239 Open CL and level zero in Ubuntu. This 00:02:30.239 --> 00:02:36.239 can be a little risky. Security measures are in place for a reason, but Intel 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:40.400 seems confident that it'll be fine. totally fine. They're so confident you 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:45.040 can already grab the Open CL and level zero compute stacks on their GitHub 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:48.239 pages security. And for more free performance, this time for hundreds of 00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:53.440 you, Jay's two cents has pointed out that systems rocking 13th or 14th gen 00:02:51.200 --> 00:03:00.000 Intel chips and NVIDIA graphics cards might not actually have rebar enabled. 00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:04.319 BIOS says it's enabled. GPUZ says it's enabled, but you'll need to dig into the 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:07.760 NVIDIA profile inspector to know the truth and potentially make a change. 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:12.720 Check out Jay's video for more information and then check out our 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:17.519 sponsor. Oh snap, they looked at all the bulky, cheap, plasticky phone grips out 00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:22.400 there and thought, hm, how about not that? Then they made the Snap Grip Lux, 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:26.480 a multi-functional MagSafe compatible, strong as hell phone grip that's somehow 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:29.760 still thinner than your camera bump. Look at this thing in grip mode. Now 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:34.159 look at it in kickstand mode and what it's charging now and it's magnetically 00:03:32.480 --> 00:03:38.480 sticking to all sorts of metal stuff so you can do video calls or watch a show 00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:41.599 and remember what it's like to have both hands free. 00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:45.440 Yeah, I mean that's going to happen sometimes. It's time to upgrade to a 00:03:43.519 --> 00:03:49.920 phone grip that doesn't suck. Check out the O Snap Snap Grip Lux at our link in 00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:54.640 the description. But what about the quick bits? In preparation for the Xbox 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:59.360 Ally X, Microsoft has been spotted testing out their consolidated game 00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:03.360 library in the Xbox app. Finally, an end to game segregation across platforms. A 00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:06.959 beautiful world where Steam and Xbox games can live together in harmony. To 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:11.760 try for yourself, just download the Xbox Insider Hub on PC and join the gaming 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:16.320 preview. Then take a look at the My Library section. Not literally my 00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:20.400 library. You don't want to go in there. And if you want to play those games with 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:24.479 a Steam Controller, don't. Because Tommy B has shown us the path to enlightenment 00:04:22.479 --> 00:04:28.639 with his version of the Steam Controller 2 or Steam Deck controller. He used a 00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:32.560 ton of off-the-shelf and 3D printed parts to create a splitable unit that 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:36.400 features everyone's favorite trackpads. And honestly, it looks pretty sick. 00:04:34.479 --> 00:04:39.360 Valve, please hire this man or just pay him a bunch of money and make it 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:44.479 official. Either way, just let the people have it. Now, there's more good news. Today's just it's just a good day. 00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:48.880 The Epic team working on Unreal Engine 5 updates has shown off a significant 00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:54.639 performance uplift going from patch 5.4 to 5.6 in the Paris Tech demo from scans 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:59.360 factory. GPUbound scenarios saw up to 25% higher frame rates and CPUbound 00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:05.120 scenarios saw up to 35% with reduced frame time spikes and all with better 00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:06.720 visuals. Holy actually. Yeah. U 5 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:11.360 is finally going to be optimized. Incredible. R/patient gamers, you shall 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:16.479 be exalted. Something else to look forward to is this super cool real life 00:05:13.919 --> 00:05:20.479 ad block using augmented reality. You see an ad or a product, it gives a big 00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:26.479 transparent ad block logo. But soon, thanks to Steen Stigen Spavenho, I'm so 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:30.720 sorry, man. You too could be inundated with giant red rectangles. It's not 00:05:28.479 --> 00:05:36.720 perfect, but it's a cool first step to an ad-free world. ltdstore.com. And 00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:42.000 last, but not least, yep, War Thunder forum users are added again. War Thunder 00:05:39.919 --> 00:05:47.440 Forum users will be War Thunder Forum users this time. A user uploaded a 00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:51.759 section from a Nat TOPS manual for the 00:05:47.440 --> 00:05:54.560 AV8B and TAB8B Harrier. Clearly marked 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:57.759 that it's not public information. It's not a massive leak, but it's a leak 00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:01.680 nonetheless. So, somebody set the counter back to zero for the reset. Just 00:05:59.919 --> 00:06:04.639 like I'm resetting in a couple of days, stay tuned for Wednesday's episode where 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:11.039 we'll have stories about crazy stuff like magical GPU price cuts. Just 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:11.039 kidding. I can't tell the future.
