welcome to the show can i get a
tech news tech news come on
let's raise the roof
sony's playstation 5 is apparently outperforming the xbox series x in some
cases despite early speculation to the contrary based on the series x being
rated for 12 teraflops compared to the ps5's measly 10.28 teraflops
right digital foundry's testing found that in devil may cry 5 assassins creed
valhalla dirt 5 and call of duty black ops cold war
let's just add more post titles anyway microsoft's new powerhouse takes a
slight lead in 4k and ray tracing performance but in the high frame rate
mode the ps5 achieves as much as 40 more frames per second than the series x
turns out there's more to life than flopping
really is there more than life than fl i that's
just what i do but hey you know what maybe that's just fine because the new
xbones apparently are super good at emulating retro games
as an app developer going by tunip 3
found out by exploiting a loophole in the xbox app distribution system to
download retroarch and when halo infinite comes out well the xbox series
x will run that one way better than ps5
infinitely better so gamers have had a real tough time
getting their hands on the new releases lately but it's hard to tell how much of
our frustration to place on companies having low stock and buggy servers
or scalpers buying up all the inventory
well an investigation by business insider has explored just how bad the
scalping situation is one uk-based group called
crep chief notify heck of a name
managed to secure almost 3 500 ps5
consoles holy crap between its 12 staff members this group also offers
subscription services that help other people use bots to scalp and demand
products like consoles or yeezys do people still use do people still desire
yeezys is that a thing yes i think i feel like i i've outgrown the meme and
the meme just came back and anyway that's that's why i'm never able to cop
the latest drop wow if i knew actively making people's
lives worse was so lucrative i would have subscribed to craft chief notify
ages ago now i can't say that with a straight
face i don't like making people's lives worse and vulcan the open source
graphics API has received full ray tracing support according to the API's
developer chronos group the addition makes vulcan the first cross-vendor
cross-platform standard to support the feature meaning games that use it could
use ray tracing on basically any piece of hardware whether it's from NVIDIA AMD
Intel sony the reason this is cool is because now
that NVIDIA and AMD hardware support ray tracing we're starting to see games that
support ray tracing exclusively on team red or team green
cybertron's 2077's ray tracing will only work with NVIDIA cards at launch well
godfall will only looks extra glorious on AMD this is so cool it's the coolest
vulcan hasn't seen super widespread adoption yet but maybe that'll change
maybe it'll rain money tomorrow there's a chance

make me lose my mind up in here up in here
amazon web services experienced an outage this morning meaning that uh
so did a large chunk of the internet including services from adobe roku and
more amazon hasn't given an explanation for the outage other than that
north america was experiencing increased error rates i blame bill gates well
there are other people who would blame other things if you read the news well
if you're listening amazon i'm pretty good at tech tips so let me know if you
want me to come fix that up for you apple just launched their m1 powered max
but rumors are already starting to spread about the sequel return of the
mac leeks apple pro claims that apple's next chip will be called m1x with eight
performance scores thank you and four efficiency cores and it'll
launch in a 16 inch macbook pro next year
i'm sure that one will run ipad apps even better
i can't even make that joke the m1 they're really good lg has filed a
patent for a laptop with a rollable display much like its rollable tvs the
laptop's keyboard would also be rollable meaning that it would look less like a
clam shell and more like a scroll perfect for watching videos on the go
and reading imperial edicts hackers have again attacked the city of baltimore
with ransomware which took internal networks for the baltimore county public
schools offline that caused the city to close the schools giving students a day off
right that sounds like a cool modern day ferris bueller party
piss off hackers and despite government warnings to stay away the mysterious
metal monolith found in the utah desert this week has been located and
physically visited by redditors because of course it has the monolith
has apparently been there for years but we're just finding it now which means
the aliens have already infected the planet and our minds well
it's been fun how about you come back for more fun on friday we'll have a
fresh batch of tech news and the reptilian metamorphosis hasn't completed
by then
