you just clicked on this video for tech news didn't you that's all you ever want
i'm a person you know james isn't but i
am you can add another entry to the compendium of Intel's marketing mishaps
because the company has just made another shady claim about their
processor's performance the info comes from a leaker known as row game who
tweeted an Intel graph titled superior gaming performance with 10th gen Intel
core platforms at a lower price at first
glance the graph does appear to favor Intel showing that a laptop with an
Intel i7 10750h got around 20 higher
frame rates than a comparable laptop with an AMD r9 4900 hs but the actual
specs show that the AMD laptop's rtx 2060 has a lower TDP and boost clock
than the Intel machine which is using the faster refreshed version of the same
graphics card so clearly it's a completely invalid comparison
maybe Intel is just panicking a bit here i mean in the x86 world they're being
squeezed out by AMD and now apple has just committed to breaking up with them
in favor of their own ARM-based apple silicon like we all hope you come out of
this alive Intel but this ain't gonna work we know what graphics cards are
western digital has changed the branding for their red line of nas hard drives
after they were sued for sneaking shingled magnetic recording or smr
technology into the product stack if you have no idea what i'm talking about i
wrote an LTT video about it so check that out basically an smr hard drive can
be unusable in a lot of mass storage setups but instead of taking them out of
the red product line wd is actually making them the default option with the
better cmr drives being rebranded as wd
red plus and red pro this will solve the problem for everyone
who knows about smr and cmr but does nothing for people who are out of the
loop if you want to be in the loop with the cool kids watch the LTT video if you
don't then just buy ssds for the next little
bit i guess you don't have to be moral just legal and apple has actually
listened to criticism about the way they run their app store
excuse me while i pick my jaw up off the floor you heard that one before this
must be profitable somehow you see last week apple rejected a bug
fix submitted by base camp the developers of the email app hey and it
wasn't because they picked a really dumb name for their app it's so annoying
every time i talk about them i have to say the hey email app the email app hey
just pick a better name anyways the fix
was rejected because apple wanted hey to have an in-app subscription option so
they could take their 30 cut through the store well after the ensuing scandal and
accusations of foul play yesterday apple said developers will be able to appeal
any guideline violations and challenge the guideline itself apple will also no
longer delay developers ability to roll out bug fixes giving developers a chance
to address guideline violations in the next patch now you could postulate and i
shall that apple's only doing this to take some heat off of its anti-trust
investigations but that's probably correct now it's time

or like three times a week NVIDIA has released their first GPU
driver with full directx 12 ultimate support bringing support for features
like directx ray tracing 1.1 and variable rate shading tier 2 you know
those things they were super excited about but more importantly there's now
support for hardware accelerated GPU scheduling that allows gpus to manage
their own vram which apparently improves latency and performance albeit not by a
huge margin but you might as well go turn it on guys
take what you can get yeah it's free real estate
Android can't get its security together with new stories about millions of
spyware apps being removed from the play store seemingly popping up every week
well microsoft is stepping in now launching a preview version of Windows
defender for Android so you can slap
some extra flex seal on your phone if you're okay with probably giving
microsoft your phone data that they probably have already at least
if only just a few days after apple announced they're switching to ARM
processors the ARM-powered fugaku supercomputer from fujitsu has been
named the world's fastest supercomputer dethroning ibm summit it's a paradigm
shift a sea change ARM processors are the future if you're not running one
you're doing it wrong and you will be arrested who needs legs when you can run
with arms china has launched the final satellite
for its baidu not to be confused with baidu the social
thing anyway the baidu navigation system meaning that they are no longer
dependent on the global positioning system aka gps you may have heard of it
which is owned by the us so if relations between those two countries get even
worse than they are now china will still be able to navigate the world this is
great news for them and pokemon is finally getting a moba game in the form
of pokemon unite a cross-platform title
for switch iOS and Android developed by tencent i mean it almost makes too much
sense for there to be a pokemon moba it's kind of wild it hasn't existed yet
sometimes i think nintendo likes being withholding free cloud saves
no and we can't just keep talking about tech news forever so come back on friday
for more sure i could give you more right now but i want to see you work for
it that was weird
i'm so sorry
