now you guys might think that talking tech news isn't a lot of work but uh
think again bucko unless you're one of those people who's into
technicalities because yes okay the amount of force that i exert on my jaw
and the distance that it moves is not a lot of work in like a physics sense but
not much it's this isn't a physics show it's a tech show
and we're going to talk about tech now we
said again and again not to order NVIDIA's new rtx graphics cards until
you had seen the reviews and now the reviews are out including my alter ego
lioness tech tips review and depending on your situation
you might want to wait a little longer as we thought might happen while
performance in games and professional applications is frankly great for the
rtx 2080 and 2080 ti there is still
nothing currently available that can use the card's shiny new ray tracing and
dlss capabilities games should start
getting rtx patches in october but last i checked it's not october and
until then we have no idea whether all the hype about rtx is worth it i mean
even tom's hardware finished off their review saying that the cards aren't
something we'd rush to jump into right now so i guess they're okay with living
at least a little bit more of their life without ray tracing now that they know
that you're going to be living that much of your life without ray tracing regardless of whether you have the
hardware yeah so there's a great roundup of reviews in
an LTT forum post linked in the description so go check that out for all the coverage

zozo town i've never heard his own suntan but he won't be going it alone
miazawa will apparently choose six to eight other artists to accompany him on
his trip in hopes that they will be inspired to create
earth-shattering works of art and then presumably post them on social
media with the hashtag dearm really dear moon lordy tests with the bfr
aren't supposed to begin until mid 2019 with the first uncrewed flights to mars
in 2022 and crude flights two years after that i know i'd be on a crude
flight anyway with all that said who knows what twitter and instagram will look like in
2024 and is that is it really the best use of a moon capable rocket to post on
instagram and i mean what do i even know i don't even follow anyone on instagram
