1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,640
i'm not feeling very confident today so i'm not going to look into the lens okay

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,440
and you guys don't look at your computer monitors

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:13,599
either don't look at me what are you a regular sherlock are you

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:18,240
up for a bit of sleuthing because Intel posted a teaser for the

5
00:00:15,519 --> 00:00:23,119
high powered graphics or hpg version of their z GPU this week and wouldn't you

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,760
know it there was binary code hidden in the video

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:30,560
naturally so the game is a foot oh wait somebody

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:36,320
already cracked it yep a wccf tech reader named at duck of death translated

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:41,440
the binary code into an ip address which leads to a site welcoming you to the

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:43,840
zhpg scavenger hunt which is apparently

11
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:48,480
going to launch on march 26th one week from now it lines up that day

12
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:54,079
coincidence you have until then to find the gpus or they will all explode

13
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:57,680
will they actually explode or they just get used for crypto

14
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:01,199
oh okay it looks like the site wants you to enter codes that some internet

15
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:05,519
detectives are expecting to show up in an Intel webcast scheduled for march

16
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:08,560
23rd seems like a lot of work for a little game that'll probably just unlock

17
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:13,760
another video teaser for another graphics card we won't be able to buy

18
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:17,840
sorry it's been a tough year i'm jaded now

19
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,920
i'm cynical in other GPU news AMD says

20
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,920
they won't be adopting NVIDIA's clumsy strategy of limiting certain graphics

21
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:28,640
cards mining efficiency since it's now been shown that a single leaked driver

22
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:32,400
can screw it all up the news comes from a product manager at AMD who told pc

23
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:36,479
gamer that the company's current gen cards based on the rdna 2 architecture

24
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:40,880
aren't really that great for mining anyway although AMD's Linux based

25
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:44,159
drivers are open source and therefore open to manipulation i guess we'll have

26
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:48,560
to wait and see whether miners jump on AMD's next GPU release which at least

27
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:54,960
one leaker thinks may come in april in the form of a premium 1080p gaming card

28
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:57,520
that's our card miners that's for us

29
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:02,719
you leave alone you stop it drop that card drop it and 18 t thought they were

30
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:05,920
pretty cool launching hbo max and giving zack snyder a platform to finish his

31
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:10,479
version of that movie we're watching this week on carpool

32
00:02:08,399 --> 00:02:14,640
critics by the way so subscribe but turns out the att isn't cool they're

33
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:19,040
not so go away they're not cool enough to break california's net neutrality

34
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:24,000
laws the network provider will no longer exempt its users hbo mac usage from

35
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:28,080
their mobile data caps a practice called zero rating after a california law went

36
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,520
into effect last month preventing isps from giving preferential treatment to

37
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:35,680
their own video platforms take that vertical integration in a statement att

38
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:40,640
said the law prohibits them from providing certain free features to

39
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:44,319
consumers but that's not true it would be perfectly legal to zero rate all

40
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:48,000
video services including netflix and prime video which of course they won't

41
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:51,760
do because they don't own them it seems like discussions about net neutrality

42
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:56,400
are on the rise once again a number of tech companies including mozilla reddit

43
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:59,680
wikimedia and vimeo called on the fcc to reinstate the commission's net

44
00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:04,000
neutrality rules repealed by the trump administration

45
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:06,400
which is fine but who neutralizes the

46
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,640
net neutralizers you know that's what i'd like to see discussed the watchmen

47
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,680
2. snyder we need you

48
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,239
riley but you're over there get out of my head

49
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:23,120
now it's time for quick bits brought to you by govi flow pro light bars the easy

50
00:03:20,959 --> 00:03:26,879
way to add dynamic colors to your tv setup their color sense camera

51
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:30,799
recognizes and captures the colors in your screen and automatically applies

52
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:35,760
them to your backlights making it seem like the picture is spilling over into

53
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:40,640
the real world whoa am i actually in space right now is what you'll say the

54
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:44,080
gobi flow pro offers multiple control options including google assistant and

55
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:49,440
alexa has all sorts of lighting effects that react to music i'm a little

description to learn more um excuse me got time to hear the quick

59
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,599
bits fairly accurate apple leaker mike german

60
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:09,760
who i affectionately call the gurm over at bloomberg seems to think that apple

61
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:14,319
is going to unveil new ipad pros in april featuring a new high powered

62
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:20,239
chipset similar to the m1 which was similar to the a12z in the current ipad

63
00:04:17,359 --> 00:04:23,520
pros it's the circle of life riley it's amazing

64
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:28,320
but more importantly these new patties might have Thunderbolt built in making

65
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:32,400
them even more like computers as gross as that feels to say

66
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:36,880
they're not computers they're just toys for a cat

67
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:41,759
you knew oneplus was making a watch right why wouldn't they anyways here's what it

68
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:47,759
looks like courtesy of an exclusive leak by unboxed therapy that was also posted

69
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,280
by ev leaks it's a watch made by oneplus

70
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:54,560
hopefully it'll be better than their airpod knockoffs i famously hated those

71
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:59,040
now that stadia is starting to implode NVIDIA's getting a bit cocky about its

72
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:03,440
GeForce now game streaming service the subscription fee has been doubled from

73
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:07,039
five dollars to ten dollars a month although that will only apply to new

74
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:12,320
subscribers if you subscribe before march 17th you can keep paying the

75
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:14,400
original price if you never cancel

a break at your legs a brick of your face sony has acquired

78
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:27,840
a fighting game tournament the evolution championship series aka evo announced

79
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:35,199
the purchase yesterday and while this means the tournament will get more support it also raises questions about

80
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,840
non-sony games being included like smash

81
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:41,120
but that's not a real fighting game anyway i like the smash

82
00:05:39,919 --> 00:05:46,240
it's a fighting game it's not a real fight it's its own thing ea has made good on

83
00:05:44,479 --> 00:05:50,320
their promise to add its catalog of ea play games to xbox game pass for pc and

84
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,160
yesterday microsoft's subscription service got another 60 games in its

85
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:58,560
library but playstation players are getting a bonus too sony is giving away

89
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:13,280

90
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:19,280
house with like using their controllers without washing your hands first asking

91
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:23,120
to play split screen halo they've told you

92
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:27,759
so many times stop see if it works it won't work

93
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:33,120
okay stop this episode right now this is enough okay report back on monday for more tech

94
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:39,080
news that's an order mister i'm channeling my jeff goldblum

95
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,080
