hi I'm Alex you might recognize me from
Alex week on Flo plane where subscribers get three exclusive Alex themed videos
so subscribe to flow plane or you shall be banished from TechLink forever who
whoa what what no be it'll be fine what
I don't know Sammy made the rules Apple has unveiled the iPhone 16e Tim Cook
knew you were expecting a new iPhone se but he switched at the last second as a
prank because where the SE models have historically provided an option for
iPhone users who wanted something smaller and more affordable the 16e
starts at$ 599 USD sporting the same 6.1
in display found in the iPhone 16 the last iphone SE launched up
429 Which is less while the iPhone 16
and 16e share many other features including the same A8 chip with apple
intelligence support others will be able to clock you as a poor thanks to the
oldfashioned display Notch wow they might also catch on to the the fact that
you're not using a magsafe charger because there's no mag safe what the 16e
supports wireless charging but your friends will have to watch you sliding
your phone around on the charging pad to find the right spot like an idiot
luckily the 16e does have a customizable action button and Apple's brand new
in-house C1 sell your modem Apple said
goodbye to qualcomm's modem as well as the idea of home buttons and lightning
ports it was time to move on but for 600
bucks you might as well look at getting huawei's new trifold phone which is
available now outside China for
$3,660 the same ballpark yeah sure might
as well I'm I'm sure everyone's Cross Shopping those reviews of NVIDIA's third
RTX 50 Series graphics card the RTX 5070
TI are up and the consensus seems to be that this card which is only coming in
third-party versions that are mostly all listed for well above the $750 MSRP
makes an excellent case for getting a 4080 super instead the LT review found
that on average the 5070 TI performs about 10% better than the RTX 470 TI
super while Hardware unboxed cost per frame analysis indicates this card may
have been a slightly better deal at a lower price but with the card's actual
launch set for tomorrow and stock expect to be as bad as the 590 and 5080 well on
the price front you're probably bud if you like playing slightly older
games you might be better off with an older card anyway as NVIDIA has ended
support for 32-bit physx on 50 Series
cards as confirmed by Invidia support notice and manwel on the forms a reset
Era user named randomly random 67 posted
a helpful list of all the games whose particle physics and fluid simulations
will be decidedly less fluid on 50 Series cards including Assassin's Creed
4 Black Flag Mirror's Edge and three of the Batman Arkham games but hey chin up
when NVIDIA breaks or melt something others might fix it like these accessory
makers who have announced cooling modules for GPU cables I don't think
those are going to help with the whole physics 50 amps through one wire thing
though you don't know that yeah I
do and Microsoft has announced what they think is a massive breakthrough in
Quantum Computing with the Mayana 1 a Quantum chip that will blow your mind
with how fast it can load Outlook okay what they actually said is that this
chip can scale to a million cubits which is necessary for Quantum Computing to do
anything useful other than drive hype Cycles Microsoft's claims are huge not
only does this chip supposedly detect exotic particles called meuron ferons
which researchers have struggled to do for decades but also manipulates them
into a new state of matter called a topological State Microsoft claims that
this is the world's first Quantum processor powered by topological cubits
proving it with a paper published in nature which says their measurements do
not by themselves determine whether the low energy states detected by
interferometry are topological maybe maybe not sure likewise now that all the
articles are out and they've read the paper physicists are starting to
question Microsoft's claims here but if this is a Quantum breakthrough you'd
expect there to be lots of uncertainty bam confirmed I also expect Riley to
tell you about our sponsor War Thunder the most comprehensive vehicle combat
game ever made and you can play it for free on PC consoles and even your phone

you're not going to be worried about that when you're immersed in combat at
the Helm of the most powerful war machines of our time obviously with
intricate vehicle modeling and a sophisticated damage system there's

Thunder for free on PC console and mobile using our links in the
description I may be a king but I'm not above dishing out a quick bit or two as
a treat reviews are also up for AMD's
high-powered ryzen AI Max 300 series apus AKA stricks Halo the only device
sporting the new Chips right now is the ASUS Rog flow z13 gaming tablet although
YouTuber the fox helpfully tested multiple variants of the chip at
different tdps to see whether they could work in a gaming handheld hopefully we
get to see some beef your laptops or mini PCS with these chips on board
because right now most people seem to be questioning why we would need a gaming
tablet at all other than to attach and detach the keyboard because that's fun
that's a game in itself yeah thanks ASUS
Humane the makers of the AI pin have been acquired by HP for
$116 million6
wouldn't be surprised though close to a year after everyone agreed to pretend
for a minute that the $700 shirt dongle with a required subscription was going
to do well at all the AI pins themselves
will stop working 9 days from now on February 28th which the company
explained in a support post quaintly titled important updates for the
consumer AI pin customers your thing won't work anymore
not that you were using them anyway Amazon is removing the ability for
Kindle users to download copies of their ebooks to a computer on February 26th
because some people were out there getting up and thinking that they
actually own their purchased books which is silly they're just ones and zeros
they're not anything so make sure that you download your Kindle books before
then and through the Kindle web interface or you could use a tool like
Amazon Kindle bulk downloader if you're a prous reader big shot over there big
reader huh I've read so many books
get King Alex Lenovo has a few wacky
concept products is preparing to show at Mobile World Congress in March according
to prodigious leaker Evan blast there's a laptop with an extra tall foldable
display you can pull out at the cafe to show your dominance there's a yoga power
bank that unfolds into a large solar panel for charging this camera or AI
robot assistant maybe that attaches to the lid of some of the company's laptops
but I'm going to be keeping my IO for something called the AI stick which I
fully expect to be a literal inert stick that nevertheless sells you hotcakes
it's got AI though it's an AI stick is
it bad that I thought that it might be like a a deal at first Alex it's a
family show and Alf Aeronautics has posted a video of their flying car
driving up behind a Normy vehicle taking off and flying over it to land in front
Alf also posted a video of the car driving up on a dirt road to prove that
can also drive on land but the bike wheeel looking tires don't exactly
Inspire confidence I mean it doesn't seem like they're even able to come up
with a name for it their website just has giant text that says pre-order
flying car you have to admit it's a compelling argument makes a point for
even more compelling content come right over here on Friday for more Tech news
what will it compel you to do I don't know figure it out just do something do
something
