WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.319
oh hello there what's that you'd like some tech news

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

00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:13.840
right okay yeah um just a sec where's the tech news

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:18.800
ea has surprised no one with the addition of full screen ads that run

00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:24.080
during gameplay in ufc 4. a reddit post went viral this weekend showing an ad

00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:26.160
for the boys on amazon prime the boys

00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:29.840
popping up before and after replays during an in-game match this is

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:34.079
particularly annoying because ea has apparently added the promos after the

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:38.640
game's launch so players who thought they had paid 60 bucks for the privilege

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:42.960
of not being advertised to in-game were proven to be fools ah

00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:47.039
happens to me all the time ea has responded to the backlash by apologizing

00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:50.480
for the ads removing them from the game and promising they won't do it again

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

00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:01.039
investment by selling ads in a game sony for example apparently makes more money

00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:05.199
from dlc and microtransactions than anything else partially thanks to the 30

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:09.680
cut that they take from all purchases on the playstation platform maybe if that

00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:13.680
cut was reduced developers like ea would have more income and they wouldn't feel

00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:16.880
the need to put in stupid ads like this like like other developers might feel

00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:22.240
that way ea would still do it speaking of people who

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:24.240
want to cut down a 30 cut epic games yep

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:28.000
they've now filed for a court order that would force apple to reinstate fortnite

00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:31.680
onto the app store while the two companies await a judgment on epic's

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:35.759
lawsuit in case you've been living under a rock after epic broke the app store

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:39.119
guidelines by adding a direct payment option to fortnight apple removed the

00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:43.600
game from the app store and later terminated epic's developer account but

00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:47.280
a judge didn't make apple reinstate the game saying the current situation

00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:51.680
doesn't actually harm epic and the whole thing is kind of their fault anyways

00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:55.439
which it totally is to be fair well with his latest filing epic is making the

00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.520
case that they are being harmed saying the number of daily active fortnite

00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:03.360
players on iOS has declined by over 60 percent since the game's removal and

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:07.119
that iOS players make up a third of the total fortnight player base meanwhile

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:11.360
google has made a statement trying to differentiate epic's lawsuit against

00:02:09.119 --> 00:02:15.040
them from the one against apple claiming they do allow multiple app stores and

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

00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:22.480
gets a hearing on september 28th hopefully dennis will still be able to

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:28.080
keep buying his favorite fortnite dances on this iphone and the hype for NVIDIA's

00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:32.800
rtx 3000 series has reached a high now people are starting to ask wait a second

00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:38.640
were we victims of marketing NVIDIA said that the rtx

00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:44.319
3080 is twice as fast as the rtx 2080 but leaked benchmarks indicate the card

00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:46.800
is only 168 faster than the 2080 super

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

00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:54.879
compute oriented not gaming ones but listen there's still reason to be

00:02:53.040 --> 00:03:00.560
cautious a source from an unnamed manufacturer reportedly told cortex that

00:02:57.440 --> 00:03:03.280
AMD was prepping a 599 dollar card with

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:08.239
performance between the 3070 and 3080. but might change that to 549 to undercut

00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:11.920
the rtx 3080 a similar strategy they employed with the rx 5000 series cards

00:03:10.640 --> 00:03:18.400
and then you got all these leaks concerning a rtx 3070 ti or 3070 super

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

00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:25.760
whole next-gen GPU launch saga so just maybe just

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

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

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

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:41.280
ramphouse 61 watt usbc fast charger this

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

00:03:52.959 --> 00:03:58.959
integration technology which keeps the charger cool adjusts power output and

00:03:56.799 --> 00:04:03.040
maximizes charging efficiency and it also allows RAM power to make this

00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:07.040
charger 48 smaller than the standard macbook pro charger for ultimate

00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:11.920
portability it can also charge the macbook pro up to 50 in just 30 minutes

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:17.199

00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:24.880
i got it microsoft has announced they're releasing the direct storage API which

00:04:23.280 --> 00:04:28.880
is the same framework used to develop the velocity architecture in the xbox

00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:33.040
series x allowing direct access to storage for reduced load time and more

00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:38.000
detailed game worlds between that and a recent leak pointing to a 599 price

00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:42.160
point for the series x oof it looks more and more like the real pro

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

00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:52.160
many flavors of doritos and mountain dew it's like it's enticing i get it the

00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:56.320
oculus quest or should i say facebook's oculus quest is being delisted from

00:04:54.479 --> 00:05:00.000
retail stores no doubt in preparation for the announcement

00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:03.680
launch of the standalone vr headset's successor will it even be called the

00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:08.479
oculus quest 2 or just the facebook quest too since oculus has basically

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:12.080
been renamed to facebook reality Labs well tune in on september 16th for the

press conference and we'll all be disappointed together

00:05:13.919 --> 00:05:19.520
china claims they've landed that mysterious reusable spacecraft the

00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:22.639
country launched last week no idea what it looks like but we do kind of know

00:05:20.960 --> 00:05:26.400
what the rocket that launched it looks like because a part of it fell to the

00:05:24.320 --> 00:05:30.320
earth extremely close to a populated village as seen NVIDIA posted on weibo

00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:32.880
and this isn't even the first time it's happened

00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:38.639
well you know these made in china rockets they're cheap you know but

00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:43.120
they get the job done what's a villager to you know we put a thing in the sky

00:05:41.039 --> 00:05:47.280
you can now emulate the nintendo switch on Android but you have to buy these

00:05:44.880 --> 00:05:52.400
weird sketchy controllers to do it the egg ns emulator claims it's made by

00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:54.240
people in the us but it's pretty clear

00:05:52.400 --> 00:05:57.440
it's not look if you want to check this out fine but also

00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:01.919

00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:07.039
to hell so it's only appropriate to fight hordes of demons in doom by

00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:10.880
playing it on a pregnancy test yep programmer phone touring posted a

00:06:08.960 --> 00:06:16.720
different kind of test result on twitter if you're willing to make the modifications yourself playing on a 128

00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:20.960
by 32 pixel monochrome display might be fun

00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:22.800
