1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,319
oh hello there what's that you'd like some tech news

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:10,400
okay oh i should i should give it to you right i should give to you some okay

3
00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:13,840
right okay yeah um just a sec where's the tech news

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:18,800
ea has surprised no one with the addition of full screen ads that run

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:24,080
during gameplay in ufc 4. a reddit post went viral this weekend showing an ad

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:26,160
for the boys on amazon prime the boys

7
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:29,840
popping up before and after replays during an in-game match this is

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,079
particularly annoying because ea has apparently added the promos after the

9
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:38,640
game's launch so players who thought they had paid 60 bucks for the privilege

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,960
of not being advertised to in-game were proven to be fools ah

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:47,039
happens to me all the time ea has responded to the backlash by apologizing

12
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:50,480
for the ads removing them from the game and promising they won't do it again

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:57,360
sure but it does make you ask the question is ea wrong to try and recoup some of their

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:01,039
investment by selling ads in a game sony for example apparently makes more money

15
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:05,199
from dlc and microtransactions than anything else partially thanks to the 30

16
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:09,680
cut that they take from all purchases on the playstation platform maybe if that

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:13,680
cut was reduced developers like ea would have more income and they wouldn't feel

18
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,880
the need to put in stupid ads like this like like other developers might feel

19
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:22,240
that way ea would still do it speaking of people who

20
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:24,240
want to cut down a 30 cut epic games yep

21
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:28,000
they've now filed for a court order that would force apple to reinstate fortnite

22
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:31,680
onto the app store while the two companies await a judgment on epic's

23
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,759
lawsuit in case you've been living under a rock after epic broke the app store

24
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,119
guidelines by adding a direct payment option to fortnight apple removed the

25
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:43,600
game from the app store and later terminated epic's developer account but

26
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:47,280
a judge didn't make apple reinstate the game saying the current situation

27
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:51,680
doesn't actually harm epic and the whole thing is kind of their fault anyways

28
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:55,439
which it totally is to be fair well with his latest filing epic is making the

29
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,520
case that they are being harmed saying the number of daily active fortnite

30
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:03,360
players on iOS has declined by over 60 percent since the game's removal and

31
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:07,119
that iOS players make up a third of the total fortnight player base meanwhile

32
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,360
google has made a statement trying to differentiate epic's lawsuit against

33
00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:15,040
them from the one against apple claiming they do allow multiple app stores and

34
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,239
even the side loading of apps we'll have to see what happens when the apple case

35
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:22,480
gets a hearing on september 28th hopefully dennis will still be able to

36
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:28,080
keep buying his favorite fortnite dances on this iphone and the hype for NVIDIA's

37
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:32,800
rtx 3000 series has reached a high now people are starting to ask wait a second

38
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:38,640
were we victims of marketing NVIDIA said that the rtx

39
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:44,319
3080 is twice as fast as the rtx 2080 but leaked benchmarks indicate the card

40
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:46,800
is only 168 faster than the 2080 super

41
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:51,360
now yeah yeah i know it's the super not the vanilla 2080 and the benchmarks are

42
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,879
compute oriented not gaming ones but listen there's still reason to be

43
00:02:53,040 --> 00:03:00,560
cautious a source from an unnamed manufacturer reportedly told cortex that

44
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:03,280
AMD was prepping a 599 dollar card with

45
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:08,239
performance between the 3070 and 3080. but might change that to 549 to undercut

46
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:11,920
the rtx 3080 a similar strategy they employed with the rx 5000 series cards

47
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:18,400
and then you got all these leaks concerning a rtx 3070 ti or 3070 super

48
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:22,319
so all i'm saying is seems like there will be a bunch of developments in this

49
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:25,760
whole next-gen GPU launch saga so just maybe just

50
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:29,200
you know just so wait a bit you know just just see what happens is that too

51
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:34,080
much is it too much to ask for some patience dennis and now for a word from

52
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:39,360
Linus can't escape now it's time for the back quads brought to you by the

53
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,280

devices from macbooks to smart watches it uses gallium nitrate and power

57
00:03:52,959 --> 00:03:58,959
integration technology which keeps the charger cool adjusts power output and

58
00:03:56,799 --> 00:04:03,040
maximizes charging efficiency and it also allows RAM power to make this

59
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:07,040
charger 48 smaller than the standard macbook pro charger for ultimate

60
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:11,920
portability it can also charge the macbook pro up to 50 in just 30 minutes

is the same framework used to develop the velocity architecture in the xbox

65
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:33,040
series x allowing direct access to storage for reduced load time and more

66
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:38,000
detailed game worlds between that and a recent leak pointing to a 599 price

67
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:42,160
point for the series x oof it looks more and more like the real pro

68
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:47,040
gamer move is to get on pc but hey hey hey i'm not judging you know there's so

oculus quest or should i say facebook's oculus quest is being delisted from

retail stores no doubt in preparation for the announcement

72
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:03,680
launch of the standalone vr headset's successor will it even be called the

73
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:08,479

china claims they've landed that mysterious reusable spacecraft the

77
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,639
country launched last week no idea what it looks like but we do kind of know

78
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:26,400
what the rocket that launched it looks like because a part of it fell to the

79
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:30,320
earth extremely close to a populated village as seen NVIDIA posted on weibo

80
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,880
and this isn't even the first time it's happened

81
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:38,639

they get the job done what's a villager to you know we put a thing in the sky

83
00:05:41,039 --> 00:05:47,280

84
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:52,400
weird sketchy controllers to do it the egg ns emulator claims it's made by

85
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:54,240
people in the us but it's pretty clear

86
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,440
