00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:09.240
it's TechLink we got more Tech news than you can shake a stick at I won't stop

00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:12.120
you from trying but you've been warned

00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:16.359
reviews of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 590 graphics card went live yesterday and on

00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:22.000
the whole reviewers found it performs about 30% faster than the 4090 without

00:00:19.720 --> 00:00:28.760
dlss which may have something to do with the 30% more cores and 30% more power

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:34.760
but I'm not a scientist thankfully NVIDIA was kind enough to only add about

00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:36.879
20% to the price but as Hardware unboxed

00:00:34.760 --> 00:00:41.559
points out that doesn't save the cards cost per frame rating from its spot at

00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:48.239
the bottom of the charts of course the 5090 also has that fun new dlss 4 with

00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:51.440
multiframe Gen which can get you absurd

00:00:48.239 --> 00:00:53.320
results like 600 FPS in cyberpunk as

00:00:51.440 --> 00:01:00.000
long as you're okay with some wacky artifacts speaking of whack scalpers are

00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:03.719
already charging double the 590s $2,000

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:06.200
MSRP but if you still really want an RTX

00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:10.280
50 Series card it seems like the RTX 5080 is next on the release schedule

00:01:08.759 --> 00:01:15.960
with leaks pointing to a performance boost of around 22% maybe if your

00:01:13.479 --> 00:01:21.240
heart's set on the 90 though you should probably know that as Tech PowerUp noted

00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:26.640
in their review NVIDIA removed the hotspot sensor from the GPU a decision

00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:31.799
they told derbauer was made because the hotspot metric is no longer accurate and

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:36.920
no no longer relevant I mean for instance it doesn't count AI frames at

00:01:34.399 --> 00:01:41.520
all Intel's been doing some thinking and have come up with a pretty wild idea for

00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:46.920
making PCS more repairable and less wasteful what if we made PCS

00:01:47.240 --> 00:01:53.320
modular yeah I don't know I just thought about it last night okay Intel's blog

00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:59.039
post is actually about encouraging more manufacturers to work on modular designs

00:01:55.759 --> 00:02:01.759
for laptop and compact PCS taking

00:01:59.039 --> 00:02:07.159
inspiration from framework and MNT which is great but the article also asks the

00:02:04.119 --> 00:02:11.720
reader to just imagine an Innovative

00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:13.440
approach that we call desktop modular PC

00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:17.040
architecture it's like they hired someone from Apple and immediately sent

00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:21.560
them to the blog because yeah it turns out there's nothing stopping you from

00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:27.599
building your own laptop right now like literal high schooler Byron hang who

00:02:24.440 --> 00:02:31.080
built the custom open- source anyone

00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:33.760
laptop using the same ARM so on a module

00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:38.720
from this LTT video Wong says lonus doing a video on it reaffirmed his

00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:45.040
decision which is not okay good luck open AI has unveiled

00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:50.519
operator an AI agent available now for chat gbt Pro subscribers that will use a

00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:54.720
computer for you which is perfect for anyone paying the $200 subscription you

00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:59.959
probably already have chat GPT writing all your DMs how should I tell them I'll

00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:05.920
be there you could say I'll be there there yeah that's good open AI CEO Sam

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:10.519
ultman and some other guys demoed operator in a video showing that you can

00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:15.640
click the take control button if operator's about to buy a cyber trck or

00:03:12.799 --> 00:03:20.920
something oh don't want to do that it's a good thing open AI released operator

00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.080
now it'll distract a bit from R1 an

00:03:20.920 --> 00:03:28.000
openweight downloadable model from Chinese startup deep seek that has AI

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:33.200
researchers all in a tizzy because it matches the performance of open AI 01

00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:37.560
reasoning model the catch is thanks to its Chain of Thought being visible it'll

00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:41.480
say straight up that it can't reference anything that's critical of the Chinese

00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:46.799
government and then it'll Force download Tik Tok on your phone I didn't ask for

00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:50.239
this I asked for our sponsor Jaa the place where you can sell your old

00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:55.000
graphics card and offset the cost of a new one although you might need a couple

00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:58.720
if you're eyeing the 590 okay all you got to do is follow the steps on their

00:03:56.720 --> 00:04:02.519
site to get an instant quote and a free shipping label

00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:08.920
what is this some kind of Online Marketplace built just for gamers and PC

00:04:06.239 --> 00:04:12.599
enthusiasts yeah it is no more going through the hassle of making your own

00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:17.199
listing and having to potentially touch grass it's all online and it's not just

00:04:15.239 --> 00:04:23.440
graphics cards Java will take your old CPUs too just go to LMG doggel to Java

00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:27.440
or click our Link in the description today we're going to do the quick bits

00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:32.880
now so you can you can keep shaking that stick if you really like that but it's

00:04:31.080 --> 00:04:37.840
okay you know whatever epic games says the first wave of thirdparty mobile

00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:43.280
games are coming to the epic game store app on Android globally and on iOS in

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:48.240
the EU and to celebrate they're bringing their famous free games program giving

00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:52.560
away a new one each month if developers participate in the program epic says

00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:56.360
they'll cover Apple's core technology fee at least until the European

00:04:54.560 --> 00:05:01.199
commission figures out whether apple is allowed to charge developers 50 EUR

00:04:59.080 --> 00:05:05.479
cents for every install over a million on thirdparty App Stores epic's

00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:09.120
decisions continue to shock me not because of Tim Sweeney's dedication to

00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:13.320
open markets but because of what it implies about how much money people

00:05:11.080 --> 00:05:17.800
spend on fortnite skins I know they're all thinking this helps developers aan

00:05:15.400 --> 00:05:22.720
Neo has announced their newest handheld and it packs a cool trick modular

00:05:20.479 --> 00:05:27.600
controls that let you place Hall joysticks six button micro switch pads

00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:30.680
and even lettered face buttons wherever you want it's even got some different

00:05:29.039 --> 00:05:37.120
screen options options and optional button packs pretty neat hey were you

00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:41.560
guys speaking of Intel recently they got some crazy ideas Xbox held their

00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:46.160
promised developer direct yesterday revealing that Doom the Dark Ages will

00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:50.960
join Indiana Jones in the great circle and a handful of other titles in

00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:53.120
requiring a GPU that supports R tracing

00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:56.880
the game is also single player only because during a demon Invasion we

00:05:54.680 --> 00:06:00.759
shouldn't fight amongst ourselves Xbox also showed off and gave release dates

00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:08.560
for the artistic Ally impressive south of midnight the brand new ninja gay 4

00:06:04.280 --> 00:06:10.479
and Claire obscure Expedition 33 which

00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:14.759
makes up for its horrible name by featuring a character I can only

00:06:11.919 --> 00:06:19.199
describe as Dollar Store Robert patson I'm sold and some users have been

00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:24.319
reporting getting stuck watching hours long unskippable YouTube ads according

00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:28.720
to a number of posts on the r/ yoube subreddit YouTube truly has gone too far

00:06:27.479 --> 00:06:35.960
I mean look at this person who has served in almost thre hour ad wait what

00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:37.440
is what is that skipping ads yeah it

00:06:35.960 --> 00:06:43.080
seems like either YouTube might be detecting ad blockers and doing this to

00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:47.759
punish the user or some ad blocking tools are erroneously blocking the skip

00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:52.560
ad button Google directed Android authority to their policy limiting

00:06:49.960 --> 00:06:57.240
unskippable ads to 15 seconds but we can't prove that this isn't all a prank

00:06:54.639 --> 00:07:00.240
and Sundar Pichi didn't send that email and then sit snickering in his chair for

00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:04.759
a good minute which maybe it'll be a good minute

00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:11.360
before we'll be back on Monday for more Tech news and wow I can't believe I just

00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:17.240
spread misinformation right to your face it'll be two days not a minute good or

00:07:15.039 --> 00:07:22.960
otherwise I'll try to have an apology video up before then I won't I did it

00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.960
again
