1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:09,040
i can hear what you're thinking great another convenient roundup of recent

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:10,960
tech news just what i needed

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:16,240
epic games has officially gotten some backup in its war against apple 12 other

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,800
companies including spotify tile and match group have formed the coalition

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:25,199
for app fairness which will advocate for freedom of choice and fair competition

6
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:29,439
across the app ecosystem the group's specific demands mirror the ones made by

7
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:34,719
epic in its lawsuits calling for apple to end its anti-competitive policies and

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:40,079
lower the default 30 cut of app store revenue which i'm sure apple will do

9
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:44,320
eventually over their collective dead perfectly maintained california bodies

10
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:48,320
they're a beautiful company although apple did just make a concession to

11
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:52,399
facebook allowing event organizers to skip paying the 30 cut for three months

12
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:56,480
giving facebook until the end of the year to implement in-app payments for

13
00:00:54,399 --> 00:01:00,640
events i don't know maybe tim apple has a heart after all a beautiful

14
00:00:58,879 --> 00:01:04,640
sandblasted metal one he could afford with the 20 billion dollars he gets from

15
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:09,680
the app store revenue amazon has unveiled its own cloud gaming

16
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:14,400
service called luna complete with a custom controller taking fellow cloud

17
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:18,799
storage giants google and microsoft head on when it launches later this year luna

18
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:23,600
will be composed of gaming channels which you can individually subscribe to

19
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,640
that sounds like cable i thought we got rid of that

20
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:31,439
so far the only channel that's been announced is the basic luna plus for

21
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:35,840
5.99 a month but ubisoft's channel is in the works there's other ones coming too

22
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:40,479
apparently unlike stadia which runs off Linux servers luna will use Windows

23
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:44,960
servers with NVIDIA t4 gpus which are basically rtx 2070 supers meaning

24
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,240
developers have to do less work to get their games on the platform but you know

25
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,360
what's missing vague claims about negative latency that

26
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:57,520
would really sell this for me interestingly luna will be playable on

27
00:01:53,280 --> 00:02:00,000
pc mac fire tv devices and iOS

28
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:04,880
skirting apple's cloud gaming service restrictions on the app store by

29
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:09,840
not being on the app store what's going on here luna will be a

30
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:13,599
progressive web app on iOS which i guess apple is totally fine with so we might

31
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,840
see google and microsoft follow suit with web apps for stadia and xcloud

32
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:21,520
instead of making individual app store apps to stream each title in their

33
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:25,840
library which is what apple wanted them to do but i'm pretty sure that was just

34
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:30,800
apple's idea of a hilarious prank NVIDIA launched the rtx 3090 on september 24th

35
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:34,720
and it went only slightly better than the rtx 3080 launch most likely because

36
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:39,599
there were way less people lining up around the digital block to purchase a

37
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:44,720
1500 graphics card but NVIDIA still went ahead and pre-apologized to fans you

38
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:49,200
pre-order we pre-apologize for having the card in limited supply due to the

39
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:53,360
constraints of physical reality we're sorry we just haven't figured out that

40
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:57,680
duplication spell yet reviews of the card are also out showing the 3090

41
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:02,400
getting 10 to 15 percent faster gaming performance than the 3080.

42
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,239
yeah uh turns out the 3090 isn't exactly the titan by another name that everyone

43
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,879
thought it was although it is still a decent card for professional creators

44
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:17,760
but will decent be good enough when AMD releases its flagship big navi cards

45
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:20,720
codenamed sienna

46
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:24,000
cichlid and navy flounder what did i just say were those words

47
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:28,640
ah horrible code names some leaks have led

48
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:34,159
fans to speculate team red's gpus could actually be faster than the rtx 3080 and

49
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,239
that would certainly be nice now it's time for quick bits brought to you by

autonomous self-docking drone that will patrol your house if an alarm is tripped

also alexa devices can now bark like a dog to scare off intruders just a wild

63
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:39,440
day over at amazon they're having some fun over there microsoft's one terabyte

64
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:43,520
storage expansion for the xbox series xns will cost

65
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:49,199
dollars now you might remember the series s itself only cost 2.99 which

66
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:53,759
means that the series s is basically made up of a one terabyte SSD with

67
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:57,280
eighty dollars of electronics slapped on but wait

68
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:01,199
the series s only comes with a 512 gig SSD enough for a single call of duty

69
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:05,280
warzone installation but

70
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,800
game pass someone on 4chan has leaked the source code of a number of old

71
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:13,840
versions of Windows including Windows xp and server 2003 along with a folder full

72
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:17,360
of bill gates conspiracy theory videos that's the more interesting one to me

73
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:21,759
there is some concern the various bits of code that do overlap with Windows 10

74
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:25,360
could be used for malware or to finally out bill gates as a reptilian why is he

75
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:30,800
so chill all the time cold-blooded gamer news time left 4 dead
