it's tech news monday monday monday it
costs only five dollars for a seat you
only need the edge uh what
most of you probably know by now that apple is going to be putting its own
ARM-based cpus inside of future imacs and macbooks but now it looks like we
know who is going to be actually manufacturing those chips it's none
other than tsmc who's already been responsible for making the socs that lie
at the hearts of ipads and iphones everywhere
so the news isn't super surprising apple's already planning to move to a
three nanometer process for its mobile devices in a couple of years offering
power savings and performance improvements and we may actually see
those inside upcoming macs as well it looks like apple is going to be placing
a big order of some sort with tsmc in late 2021 so this might be an indication
that some of the new mac chips will be included you know i can actually go for
a bag of apple chips right now sounds not digestible we're getting closer and
closer to playstation 5 pre-order's opening but if you were hoping to snag
one console for yourself and another for a friend you might be plumb out of luck
as the kids say a user on reddit dug through some of the playstation direct
source code and revealed an error message that users will presumably be
presented with if they try to add more than one ps5 console to their shopping
cart the restriction exists regardless of whether you're trying to buy the disc
or digital only version of the ps5 and you also can't buy one of each version i
mean well this is ridiculous how am i supposed to try out both of them and
find out which one i like earlier reports indicated that sony was
going to be making 10 million ps5s in the first run double the originally
planned amount but the company still wants to make sure it can keep up with
demand during covid by limiting everyone to just one system man
this pandemic is squeezing everyone even the people who
buy multiple playstations at once we really feel bad for those people wait i
don't i don't feel bad for them at all they're just going to flip them on ebay
yeah guys lots of folks use vpns to keep their
internet activity private but several vpns that activists trusted out in hong
kong during the recent tension have reportedly had sensitive user data
leaked to the public this data includes addresses passwords payment information
and importantly i mean those other things are important too web activity
the entire cache of leaked info was online for over two weeks a turn of
events made even more shocking due to the fact that the vpns in question
advertised that they did not log any
user data it turns out that these vpns were
actually just rebranding a different provider service so it would have been
hard for them to guarantee what exactly the actual provider's data protection
practices were so like yeah okay that's fine just a big
misunderstanding i guess in any event remember to be super
careful when choosing a vpn and no today's sponsor is not private internet
access it's just really newsworthy that you should make sure you choose a
trustworthy vpn like private internet access
actually the sponsor is drop.com with the massdrop sennheiser 6xx headphones
bringing you the bic quits today they've sold over 70 000 units and why not with

drop now for bit quits oneplus is
throwing their hat into the truly wireless earbuds ring with the announcement of the oneplus buds which
could also easily double as a heartwarming buddy cop movie
that's pretty good that's pretty good john they'll be available in three
colors and unlike every other phone maker oneplus didn't actually copy the
airpods case design just the airpods themselves and then
they copied the pixel buds case design it's much better tsmc has confirmed it's
going to stop shipping chips to huawei within the next two months thanks to
license restrictions from the us this
sucks for huawei for sure but the news isn't great for tsmc either as about 14
of tsmc's total revenue came from the chinese giant in order for apple to make
up the difference a lot of people are gonna have to buy them new ARM-based
macs i'm sure they'll run fine so here we go
you could also buy new gpus which are probably coming soon and by lots of
ryzens google maps can now direct you to the nearest bike sharing location as
well as places to return your rented bike near your destination that's pretty
cool because i ran into a situation in san francisco a while back i wanted to
go down to this key or pier or whatever it's called we're gonna take a car but
there's all these bikes okay i get there and it's like oh the
taxi cab mafia made it so you couldn't put any bike return stations anywhere
near i was stuck with the bike so lioness thought it would be a good idea to rent
bikes even though he doesn't ride a bike and he's never ridden in traffic
well we made it to pier 39 and now we have to walk our bikes because he didn't
look up where the nearest bike share was and apparently it's like a mile back
it's available in these 10 markets chicago new york san francisco dc london
mexico city i ran out of fingers sal
paulo i don't know how to pronounce that and taipei but google is planning to add
more soon so it's a good time to get those quads in shape especially if
they've been atrophying indoors and another vpn just arrived on the scene
it's from mozilla you know the the firefox guys and gals simply called
mozilla vpn it's available in the us the uk malaysia new zealand singapore and
right here in good old canada it's five bucks a month and mozilla says it
doesn't keep logs of user activity and we we can trust them right
i mean it's mozilla they're like internet good guys right i certainly
hope so yes yes and do you remember that urban legend
from years ago that kfc wasn't selling real chicken well that might become a
reality soon as kfc is working with a russian tech firm to develop 3d printed
chicken nuggets why they're not vegetarian as they do actually still use
real chicken cells but the hope is that they'll be more environmentally friendly
kfc wants to have the final design ready later this year and of course keep that
signature kfc flavored which depending on your outlook may or may not be a good
thing that's it for today oh it's real chicken
but like 3d printed come back wednesday for some more deep fried goodness
that's so i like my tech news you have to buy an xl sized water bottle
lttstore.com here we go
have to clean that boys
