the tech news is back because Christmas is ho ho over that's that's it that's
how we're starting the rumored RTX 40 series super cards are all but confirmed
for a CES 2024 announcement after the internet sprouted more leaks than an
English garden that's what they call a yard call Yard yeah reliable leaker
Momom Moore us got up bright and early
Christmas morning to send us convincing renders of an ASUS 470 super after that
various retailers listed multiple MSI 470 super and 470 TI Super Cards just
before the Eurasian economic commission leaked over 30 upcoming models from
Gigabyte the cat's not just out of the bag it's angry about being trapped in
that bag and it's taking it out on the sectional really the only thing we don't
know about these cards are their prices so a CES announcement could be Invidia
chance to redeem its abysmal price to Performance this GPU Generation by
readjusting the ratio for some of the company's worst offenders I I mean it's
great that the 470 TI super will reportedly have more vram Cuda cor and
memory bus width than its unced version but if it's not competitively priced
compared to say AMD's RX 7900 XT who's
going to Care maybe Jensen Hong's mom I hear she's very supportive likewise the
4070 non-ti super needs to compete with the 7800 XT is roughly $550 price tag
and the 4080 super well apparently it's it's barely different than the normal
480 but if NVIDIA simply keeps the price
the same at this point I'll give them a gold star I mean a for effort they tried
you did okay kid and no other gpus were leaked today is what I would say if the
Eurasian economic commission didn't also post listings for three unannounced AMD
Radeon cards one of which is the previously rumored RX 7600 XT said to
debut late next month notably however there will not be an AMD reference model
according to both video cards and Taiwanese Outlet bench life but it's
likely there will be both a 10 GB and 12 GB versions of the 7600 XT according to
earlier leaks from September and also from the Eurasian economic commission by
the way they just can't seem to catch a break could you find a Dutch boy to
stick their thumb in this thing different different commission
different commission now as stated up top there were two other unannounced Ron
cards listed by a certain economic
Commission naming names a 7600 non-xt
and a 7800 non-xt were also both
mentioned but don't get too excited bench life sources say there are no
plans for any 7700 SL 7800 non XTS right
now the 7800 is probably the least likely since there is only a $50 pricing
difference between the 7700 XT and the 7800 XT so it' be hard to fit a card in
there like putting a wiener in an uncut bun compare that to the $200 separation
betwix the 7600 and the 7700 XT maybe
there's enough room for two cards in there but it' be tighter than my pants
after turkey dinner yesterday NVIDIA officially launched the China exclusive
490d the cut down version of the 4090
non D it stands for D's Nuts meant to comply with the US export
restrictions it's kind of like the 4 4090 nond D post circumcision and since
it's launched we now have access to a full breakdown of the D's specs thanks
to NVIDIA's Chinese website while the 490d features the same boost clock as
the unlettered version its base clock has increased from about 2.24 GHz to
2.28 however that's the only number that go up portal D's TDP is 25 watts lower
than its older brother but why would it need that power massive Cuts were made
to the card's core counts it only has
14,592 Kuda cores and 456 tensor cores
compare that to the 16,384 caor and 512 tensor cores on the
original look at how the M good my boy the card costs more than
$1,800 because of course it does but it's going to sell demand in China is so
high is they can't reviews I like The
Godfather now it's time for quick bits brought to you by any desk makers of the
aonomus remote desktop application that works for Windows Mac Linux iOS Android
Chrome OS and even Raspberry Pi and nesk the application is great for personal or
work use and features a low latency platform giving you more control and
higher speeds nesk the company provides extensive support including onboarding
for your business so you don't have to do it why would you want to teach Susan

work in the back making quick bits occasionally they perform the odd back
alley root canal but we don't like to judge they have dreams last week
Microsoft launched its new Android app co-pilot making this their second AI
chatbot app the third official chatbot app based on open ai's GPT models and
about the billionth Microsoft product called co-pilot the revamped interface
proclaims co-pilot in large bold letters
followed by a tiny faint with Bing underneath with Bing it seems that on
some level Microsoft has accepted that we're never going to accept Bing as our
real dad and has decided to introduce us to their new boyfriend co-pilot who is
just Bing wearing glasses and a fake mustache hello it is me co-pilot I am
different man Russian security firm kasperski has announced the discovery of
a previously unknown and since patched vulnerability in all Apple Hardware the
exploit known as operation triangulation uses a malicious iMessage attachment
that takes over the device without ever being clicked on it then transmits
microphone recordings photos geolocation and other sensitive data to attacker
controlled servers ironically part of kaspersky's drive to find this exploit
is that it's been used against them repeatedly over the last four years
hello my name is enigo kaspari you
hacked my iPhone prepared to die I want my ey message back you son of a
beach in two weeks LG will be officially
debuting a small two-legged AI robot with a permanently shellshocked
expression intended to act as a Hess a pet sitter and a home security guard the
bot will be able to recognize objects pets people and even facial expressions
like disappointment something you'll feel when your new security Droid
catches your dog pooping on the carpet but has no way to intervene because LG
never gave it hands why have I been
cursed I can only watch according to NBC
News an American intelligence assessment has found that the Chinese spy balloon
SL perfectly innocent meteorological device from earlier this year was using
an American internet provider for data transmission the unnamed ISP has
apparently denied these allegations quote based on its own investigation and
discussions it had with us officials I don't understand why would an ISP want
to be associated with a scientific study undertaken by a totally normal weather
balloon and researchers are spotting on beavers from
space to save California from droughts I just really wanted to emphasize that
Beaver scientists have been working with Google engineer love saying Beaver
scientists Beaver scientists have been working with Google Engineers for
several years now to train a neural network to find beaver habitats and dams
in satellite imagery I never knew beavers is going to be
scientists because beavers naturally provide important ecological services
like water storage and Fire Prevention this information can help guide the
reintroduction of beavers in places like California whose two main exports are
currently almonds and smoke and you'll
look smoking hot if you come back on Monday for more TechLink I mean you're
also pretty hot today but Monday just hits different
