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

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:07.440
and you guys don't look at your computer monitors

00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:13.599
either don't look at me what are you a regular sherlock are you

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:18.240
up for a bit of sleuthing because Intel posted a teaser for the

00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:23.119
high powered graphics or hpg version of their z GPU this week and wouldn't you

00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:25.760
know it there was binary code hidden in the video

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:30.560
naturally so the game is a foot oh wait somebody

00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:36.320
already cracked it yep a wccf tech reader named at duck of death translated

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:41.440
the binary code into an ip address which leads to a site welcoming you to the

00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:43.840
zhpg scavenger hunt which is apparently

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:48.480
going to launch on march 26th one week from now it lines up that day

00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:54.079
coincidence you have until then to find the gpus or they will all explode

00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:57.680
will they actually explode or they just get used for crypto

00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:01.199
oh okay it looks like the site wants you to enter codes that some internet

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:05.519
detectives are expecting to show up in an Intel webcast scheduled for march

00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:08.560
23rd seems like a lot of work for a little game that'll probably just unlock

00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:13.760
another video teaser for another graphics card we won't be able to buy

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:17.840
sorry it's been a tough year i'm jaded now

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.920
i'm cynical in other GPU news AMD says

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:23.920
they won't be adopting NVIDIA's clumsy strategy of limiting certain graphics

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:28.640
cards mining efficiency since it's now been shown that a single leaked driver

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

00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:36.479
gamer that the company's current gen cards based on the rdna 2 architecture

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:40.880
aren't really that great for mining anyway although AMD's Linux based

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:44.159
drivers are open source and therefore open to manipulation i guess we'll have

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:48.560
to wait and see whether miners jump on AMD's next GPU release which at least

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:54.960
one leaker thinks may come in april in the form of a premium 1080p gaming card

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:57.520
that's our card miners that's for us

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

00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:05.920
pretty cool launching hbo max and giving zack snyder a platform to finish his

00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:10.479
version of that movie we're watching this week on carpool

00:02:08.399 --> 00:02:14.640
critics by the way so subscribe but turns out the att isn't cool they're

00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:19.040
not so go away they're not cool enough to break california's net neutrality

00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:24.000
laws the network provider will no longer exempt its users hbo mac usage from

00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:28.080
their mobile data caps a practice called zero rating after a california law went

00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:31.520
into effect last month preventing isps from giving preferential treatment to

00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:35.680
their own video platforms take that vertical integration in a statement att

00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:40.640
said the law prohibits them from providing certain free features to

00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:44.319
consumers but that's not true it would be perfectly legal to zero rate all

00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:48.000
video services including netflix and prime video which of course they won't

00:02:46.160 --> 00:02:51.760
do because they don't own them it seems like discussions about net neutrality

00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:56.400
are on the rise once again a number of tech companies including mozilla reddit

00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:59.680
wikimedia and vimeo called on the fcc to reinstate the commission's net

00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:04.000
neutrality rules repealed by the trump administration

00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:06.400
which is fine but who neutralizes the

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:10.640
net neutralizers you know that's what i'd like to see discussed the watchmen

00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:13.680
2. snyder we need you

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:18.239
riley but you're over there get out of my head

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

00:03:20.959 --> 00:03:26.879
way to add dynamic colors to your tv setup their color sense camera

00:03:25.040 --> 00:03:30.799
recognizes and captures the colors in your screen and automatically applies

00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:35.760
them to your backlights making it seem like the picture is spilling over into

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

00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:44.080
gobi flow pro offers multiple control options including google assistant and

00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:49.440
alexa has all sorts of lighting effects that react to music i'm a little

00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:54.560
short danced out and can be mounted vertically horizontally behind the tv

00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:58.640
diagonally upside down inside out you get the picture click the link in the

00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:01.360
description to learn more um excuse me got time to hear the quick

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:05.599
bits fairly accurate apple leaker mike german

00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:09.760
who i affectionately call the gurm over at bloomberg seems to think that apple

00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:14.319
is going to unveil new ipad pros in april featuring a new high powered

00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:20.239
chipset similar to the m1 which was similar to the a12z in the current ipad

00:04:17.359 --> 00:04:23.520
pros it's the circle of life riley it's amazing

00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:28.320
but more importantly these new patties might have Thunderbolt built in making

00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:32.400
them even more like computers as gross as that feels to say

00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:36.880
they're not computers they're just toys for a cat

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

00:04:39.840 --> 00:04:47.759
looks like courtesy of an exclusive leak by unboxed therapy that was also posted

00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:49.280
by ev leaks it's a watch made by oneplus

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:54.560
hopefully it'll be better than their airpod knockoffs i famously hated those

00:04:52.400 --> 00:04:59.040
now that stadia is starting to implode NVIDIA's getting a bit cocky about its

00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:03.440
GeForce now game streaming service the subscription fee has been doubled from

00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:07.039
five dollars to ten dollars a month although that will only apply to new

00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:12.320
subscribers if you subscribe before march 17th you can keep paying the

00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:14.400
original price if you never cancel

00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:19.199

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

00:05:21.840 --> 00:05:27.840
a fighting game tournament the evolution championship series aka evo announced

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

00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:36.840
non-sony games being included like smash

00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:41.120
but that's not a real fighting game anyway i like the smash

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

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

00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:54.160
yesterday microsoft's subscription service got another 60 games in its

00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:58.560
library but playstation players are getting a bonus too sony is giving away

00:05:56.320 --> 00:06:04.639
10 free games including horizon zero dawn which is super old as part of its

00:06:01.280 --> 00:06:07.840
hashtag play at home initiative or playa

00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:10.560
to tome play at tome

00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:13.280
uh playa because they'd rather not have you constantly coming over to their

00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:19.280
house with like using their controllers without washing your hands first asking

00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:23.120
to play split screen halo they've told you

00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:27.759
so many times stop see if it works it won't work

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

00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:39.080
news that's an order mister i'm channeling my jeff goldblum

00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:39.080
