hey what do you call black friday during a supply shortage
friday
apple's m1 max are the best consumer ARM powered computers out there which isn't
really saying much since every laptop running Windows on ARM kind of sucks
well that may change soon as xda developers has reported that the reason
we've only seen Windows on armed devices powered by qualcomm processors is
because of an exclusivity deal between the two companies i don't know why
qualcomm and microsoft thought that meant they had to make their chips and
software suck maybe there was a clause about that or something you know
legalese standards whereas the processor will be junk and whereas microsoft will
only use our processors thereby anyway the good news is the deal is reportedly
set to expire soon meaning mediatek or anyone else will be free to make
processors for Windows on armed devices but perhaps more importantly
it could mean Windows on ARM could be installed directly on m1 max with boot
camp which traditionally has run a little faster than virtualizing Windows
with parallels but don't celebrate just yet though apple would still have to
support it time to start being nice to them again i guess we're willing to
start calling tim by his legal last name if he'll budge on this it's apple
you smell with the cook is cooking in other microsoft news the company is
continuing to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first xbox console by
sending free gift bundles to randomly selected fan fest members with a special
edition controller and a plaque engraved with their gamertag
a black for me others are receiving special offers to
purchase a limited edition xbox com console bundle via email which is uh
less exciting thank you benevolent microsoft gods the chance to buy
something in this market
what's even more sad is not that there's an interactive xbox
museum full of memorable moments from xbox history but the fact that it's
being called a metaverse which is like calling a sandwich a four-course meal or
saying mark zuckerberg has charisma
i thought that was funny i mean compared to my other iguanas and
bearded dragons i've had it pretty lively you can actually curl the corners
of his mouth one interesting document the museum holds is a letter microsoft sent to
nintendo in 1999 offering to acquire them which leads into some interesting
what if scenarios like a halo movie starring master chief voiced by
channing tatum he's dancing he can move he can tumble
the chris pratt is the punchline because it's nintendo yeah
i was supposed to say chris pratt and there's a bunch of news about AMD making
moves some good some so good like this
rumor claiming AMD has informed GPU board partners that it's increasing GPU
prices yeah it's not good by about ten percent
not good which is not great news when GPU prices are still hovering around
twice their original msrp it's only fair
though right now retailers are getting most of the profits from those markups
and lisa deserves she deserves some more of that you know
she's a doctor the doctor is in check please the same
canada you gotta pay next up AMD has released a fidelity fx super resolution
plug-in for unreal engine 4 meaning the tech can be easily implemented into
games that use ue4 that's it nice lastly a report out of
taiwan claims that AMD and qualcomm there they are again will be shifting
their chip manufacturing from tsmc to samsung because tsmc priority
prioritizes apple orders presumably because apple pays more
unbelievable these guys you know it's like it's all about money for these
people what about the art yeah okay

yeah maybe it's like but yeah new
tesla is now asking owners who opt into the full self-driving beta program to
agree to let tesla use footage from their cameras both inside and outside
their vehicle in the event of an accident there's cameras on the inside
presumably to help authorities decide whether it's the car or the driver's
fault and if they're equally at fault then they're both going away for a long
time the modular upgradable fairphone 2 is
getting Android 10. sure that's a two-year-old os but it's been six years
since the phone originally shipped with Android 5 matching apple's 6 year
support cycle for iphones fairphone worked with the lineage os Android
community on the update proving that google samsung and others
totally could support Android devices for longer if they wanted to
but you know money money money money money money i
was going abba no it's 20 21 at apples
spend your money tile the company that makes those things that are like apple
air tags but way crappier such that you just put them in a drunk drawer because they don't actually work is being
acquired by family tracking company life360 for 205 million dollars more
than they're worth which is zero together they'll make sure
there's no way you'll lose your kids or your parents my father left us when i
was nine we found him pretty cook pretty quick
with the app papa is that you people over there
just joking the app doesn't work it'll just say dad not found every time
you need to use it that's how it sucks i have like five of
them verizon and at t have agreed to minimize energy coming from their 5g
base stations for a period of six months after the federal aviation
administration raised concerns that 5g could cause interference with aircraft
electronics and your brain
oh my cells it hasn't been a significant issue in other countries with 5g
infrastructure so i say we turn this around and explore
the defense implications of 5g being able to take out planes put vaccinated
people on the front lines protect us
and the makers of a cryptocurrency called jrr token
are saying they created the one token that rules them all baby they've had
their operation shut down after a legal complaint from the estate of j
r r tolkien it's not even close making this story
even more ridiculous is the fact that the jrr token guys paid billy boyd the
actor who played pippin to read an advertisement for the coin on cameo the
app full of a talk show next time while the cryptocurrency
itself is out of commission there are still jrr token
i can't yeah token nfts for sale on openc so the the power of the token may
not yet be undone cast it into the fire
