00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:06.359
hi I'm Alex you might recognize me from

00:00:03.719 --> 00:00:10.679
Alex week on Flo plane where subscribers get three exclusive Alex themed videos

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:17.359
so subscribe to flow plane or you shall be banished from TechLink forever who

00:00:13.799 --> 00:00:19.359
whoa what what no be it'll be fine what

00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:25.000
I don't know Sammy made the rules Apple has unveiled the iPhone 16e Tim Cook

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:29.320
knew you were expecting a new iPhone se but he switched at the last second as a

00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:32.920
prank because where the SE models have historically provided an option for

00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:39.600
iPhone users who wanted something smaller and more affordable the 16e

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:42.520
starts at$ 599 USD sporting the same 6.1

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:48.239
in display found in the iPhone 16 the last iphone SE launched up

00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:50.440
429 Which is less while the iPhone 16

00:00:48.239 --> 00:00:54.199
and 16e share many other features including the same A8 chip with apple

00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:58.840
intelligence support others will be able to clock you as a poor thanks to the

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:02.280
oldfashioned display Notch wow they might also catch on to the the fact that

00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:06.840
you're not using a magsafe charger because there's no mag safe what the 16e

00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:10.640
supports wireless charging but your friends will have to watch you sliding

00:01:08.600 --> 00:01:16.600
your phone around on the charging pad to find the right spot like an idiot

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:22.240
luckily the 16e does have a customizable action button and Apple's brand new

00:01:18.600 --> 00:01:24.360
in-house C1 sell your modem Apple said

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:29.680
goodbye to qualcomm's modem as well as the idea of home buttons and lightning

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:31.640
ports it was time to move on but for 600

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:36.680
bucks you might as well look at getting huawei's new trifold phone which is

00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:40.119
available now outside China for

00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:42.159
$3,660 the same ballpark yeah sure might

00:01:40.119 --> 00:01:48.439
as well I'm I'm sure everyone's Cross Shopping those reviews of NVIDIA's third

00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:50.799
RTX 50 Series graphics card the RTX 5070

00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:55.079
TI are up and the consensus seems to be that this card which is only coming in

00:01:52.880 --> 00:02:00.360
third-party versions that are mostly all listed for well above the $750 MSRP

00:01:58.759 --> 00:02:06.079
makes an excellent case for getting a 4080 super instead the LT review found

00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:12.720
that on average the 5070 TI performs about 10% better than the RTX 470 TI

00:02:10.239 --> 00:02:17.480
super while Hardware unboxed cost per frame analysis indicates this card may

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.760
have been a slightly better deal at a lower price but with the card's actual

00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:26.680
launch set for tomorrow and stock expect to be as bad as the 590 and 5080 well on

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:30.920
the price front you're probably bud if you like playing slightly older

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:36.440
games you might be better off with an older card anyway as NVIDIA has ended

00:02:33.440 --> 00:02:38.599
support for 32-bit physx on 50 Series

00:02:36.440 --> 00:02:44.720
cards as confirmed by Invidia support notice and manwel on the forms a reset

00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:46.800
Era user named randomly random 67 posted

00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:51.319
a helpful list of all the games whose particle physics and fluid simulations

00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:56.200
will be decidedly less fluid on 50 Series cards including Assassin's Creed

00:02:53.560 --> 00:03:01.040
4 Black Flag Mirror's Edge and three of the Batman Arkham games but hey chin up

00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:04.560
when NVIDIA breaks or melt something others might fix it like these accessory

00:03:02.959 --> 00:03:09.280
makers who have announced cooling modules for GPU cables I don't think

00:03:07.480 --> 00:03:15.680
those are going to help with the whole physics 50 amps through one wire thing

00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:18.200
though you don't know that yeah I

00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:22.920
do and Microsoft has announced what they think is a massive breakthrough in

00:03:19.959 --> 00:03:27.879
Quantum Computing with the Mayana 1 a Quantum chip that will blow your mind

00:03:25.239 --> 00:03:31.840
with how fast it can load Outlook okay what they actually said is that this

00:03:29.480 --> 00:03:36.080
chip can scale to a million cubits which is necessary for Quantum Computing to do

00:03:33.959 --> 00:03:40.760
anything useful other than drive hype Cycles Microsoft's claims are huge not

00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:46.040
only does this chip supposedly detect exotic particles called meuron ferons

00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:50.120
which researchers have struggled to do for decades but also manipulates them

00:03:48.040 --> 00:03:54.519
into a new state of matter called a topological State Microsoft claims that

00:03:52.519 --> 00:03:58.920
this is the world's first Quantum processor powered by topological cubits

00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:02.959
proving it with a paper published in nature which says their measurements do

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:07.879
not by themselves determine whether the low energy states detected by

00:04:04.920 --> 00:04:12.840
interferometry are topological maybe maybe not sure likewise now that all the

00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:17.639
articles are out and they've read the paper physicists are starting to

00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:21.759
question Microsoft's claims here but if this is a Quantum breakthrough you'd

00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:26.600
expect there to be lots of uncertainty bam confirmed I also expect Riley to

00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:30.400
tell you about our sponsor War Thunder the most comprehensive vehicle combat

00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:35.240
game ever made and you can play it for free on PC consoles and even your phone

00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:39.759
I don't know how they fit faithful Recreations of more than 2500 historical

00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:43.320
in modern tanks planes helicopters and ships from 10 major nations in there but

00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:47.080
you're not going to be worried about that when you're immersed in combat at

00:04:45.479 --> 00:04:51.759
the Helm of the most powerful war machines of our time obviously with

00:04:50.039 --> 00:04:55.720
intricate vehicle modeling and a sophisticated damage system there's

00:04:53.400 --> 00:04:59.960
simply no game better suited for fans of military history so join a worldwide

description I may be a king but I'm not above dishing out a quick bit or two as

00:05:12.840 --> 00:05:18.840
a treat reviews are also up for AMD's

00:05:16.039 --> 00:05:24.720
high-powered ryzen AI Max 300 series apus AKA stricks Halo the only device

00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:30.880
sporting the new Chips right now is the ASUS Rog flow z13 gaming tablet although

00:05:28.479 --> 00:05:34.919
YouTuber the fox helpfully tested multiple variants of the chip at

00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:38.800
different tdps to see whether they could work in a gaming handheld hopefully we

00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:42.520
get to see some beef your laptops or mini PCS with these chips on board

00:05:40.840 --> 00:05:46.919
because right now most people seem to be questioning why we would need a gaming

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:52.039
tablet at all other than to attach and detach the keyboard because that's fun

00:05:48.919 --> 00:05:54.319
that's a game in itself yeah thanks ASUS

00:05:52.039 --> 00:06:01.039
Humane the makers of the AI pin have been acquired by HP for

00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:02.880
$116 million6

00:06:01.039 --> 00:06:07.440
wouldn't be surprised though close to a year after everyone agreed to pretend

00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:12.280
for a minute that the $700 shirt dongle with a required subscription was going

00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:14.400
to do well at all the AI pins themselves

00:06:12.280 --> 00:06:18.560
will stop working 9 days from now on February 28th which the company

00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:22.319
explained in a support post quaintly titled important updates for the

00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:26.840
consumer AI pin customers your thing won't work anymore

00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:30.479
not that you were using them anyway Amazon is removing the ability for

00:06:28.520 --> 00:06:34.960
Kindle users to download copies of their ebooks to a computer on February 26th

00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:39.800
because some people were out there getting up and thinking that they

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:45.360
actually own their purchased books which is silly they're just ones and zeros

00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:48.759
they're not anything so make sure that you download your Kindle books before

00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:53.199
then and through the Kindle web interface or you could use a tool like

00:06:51.000 --> 00:07:01.120
Amazon Kindle bulk downloader if you're a prous reader big shot over there big

00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:05.000
reader huh I've read so many books

00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:06.919
get King Alex Lenovo has a few wacky

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:11.560
concept products is preparing to show at Mobile World Congress in March according

00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:16.280
to prodigious leaker Evan blast there's a laptop with an extra tall foldable

00:07:14.080 --> 00:07:21.000
display you can pull out at the cafe to show your dominance there's a yoga power

00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:25.560
bank that unfolds into a large solar panel for charging this camera or AI

00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:29.560
robot assistant maybe that attaches to the lid of some of the company's laptops

00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:35.360
but I'm going to be keeping my IO for something called the AI stick which I

00:07:32.440 --> 00:07:40.560
fully expect to be a literal inert stick that nevertheless sells you hotcakes

00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:41.599
it's got AI though it's an AI stick is

00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:47.080
it bad that I thought that it might be like a a deal at first Alex it's a

00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:52.000
family show and Alf Aeronautics has posted a video of their flying car

00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:57.120
driving up behind a Normy vehicle taking off and flying over it to land in front

00:07:54.800 --> 00:08:02.360
Alf also posted a video of the car driving up on a dirt road to prove that

00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:07.560
can also drive on land but the bike wheeel looking tires don't exactly

00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:11.039
Inspire confidence I mean it doesn't seem like they're even able to come up

00:08:09.080 --> 00:08:15.960
with a name for it their website just has giant text that says pre-order

00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:20.759
flying car you have to admit it's a compelling argument makes a point for

00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:25.360
even more compelling content come right over here on Friday for more Tech news

00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:31.400
what will it compel you to do I don't know figure it out just do something do

00:08:28.599 --> 00:08:31.400
something
