look all i'm saying is that they've got summer olympics and winter olympics they
can have tech news olympics too can't they let's just do it next year it would just be us
and gamers yeah you probably know knockdown for making
air coolers for cpus that are very special because they're brown and tan
but if some recent reports are accurate the austrian company may be partnering
with ASUS on a line of graphics cards according to an eec filing ASUS has a
GeForce rtx 3070 in the works with a knock to a designed cooling solution
that has in all likelihood some tan and
brown on it whoa
i don't know you can't make brown with RGB so that's true yep while the 3070
isn't exactly a notoriously hot GPU gamers and overclockers should still
appreciate graphics card with you know a little bit more thermal overhead and of
course the knock to a name carries a lot of weight in pc gaming circles so it
could represent a solid business opportunity for both ASUS and Noctua to
build more hype around their products an ASUS spokesperson seemed to confirm the
card's development although they couldn't make any further comment like
what color the cooler will be i feel like it might be red
really you think you think it'd be red blue maybe i mean neither of those
colors are any of the colors of either of those companies oh i guess rog is a
little bit red Gigabyte is the latest pc hardware company to get hit by a
ransomware attack although customers noticed that Gigabyte support pages were
down earlier this week a potentially more serious issue is that information
on AMD and Intel chips along with other technical data were reportedly
snagged in the cyber attack yeah that's a problem the hackers are threatening to
release the 112 gigabytes of stolen data
if Gigabyte doesn't pay the ransom and then basically anyone could just
build their own processors or motherboards now to just just just find some silicon
oh you know i think there's some in the mountains yeah well you can probably some in some
deserts somewhere you know get some sand you know yeah maybe yeah something like
that it's unclear if Gigabyte will pay or how much the crooks are actually
demanding but maybe Gigabyte can just cut them a deal on some 3080s you know i
mean right now that's almost as good as money that's how i pay at the
restaurants yeah just hand over a wad of 3080s
remember the days of those heavy-handed recording industry lawsuits against
people who were just trying out a cool little app called napster yeah just
trying to share some music my friends online all 30 million of them very
popular i'm the most popular ever i actually don't
know why those might not be as much of a thing anymore but that doesn't mean that
the industry has you know shied away from the courts altogether as a group of
major record labels have recently filed suit against charter communications
parent company behind the u.s internet service provider spectrum the suit
claims that the labels sent 150 000
notices to charter informing them of instances of copyright infringement
complete with user ip addresses but charter didn't do anything to stop it
good guy charter not in this case although you might
actually wonder at first if charter is obligated to do anything the labels did
win a billion dollar lawsuit against another isp and for a similar issue in
2019 but you know before you feel bad for charter they'd probably pass on any
fines they have to pay in the form of spectrum price increases so
you should really feel sorry for yourself that emotion is valid
let the tears flow thank you Anthony

player unknown's battlegrounds often shortens to pubg has just been renamed
pubg battlegrounds which is obviously redundant like atm
machine or lcd display but parent company crafton is planning to release
another game called pubg new state so that's apparently where
this new branding comes from having an excuse doesn't mean it's okay that's like me
getting asked to initial something and i i just write a y young Anthony young
young well a y while you're young you know yeah tl linked
if you've got an ASUS motherboard be on the lookout for an important BIOS update
which will enable your system's tpm chip if it's not already in preparation for
Windows 11 which requires it sort of if you have a system older than an Intel
8th gen or ryzen 2000 series you
probably don't have to worry about this because microsoft hasn't really worried
about you they forgot you they don't let me be high they didn't forget
they just they just don't forgive in other microsoft news
there's now a night mode rolling out for xbox insiders who are part of the alpha
skip ahead ring in addition to using the dark ui theme it also dims your display
disables HDR and reduces brightness on both the controller and the console leds

comes up oh that's my favorite thing to do tesla's upcoming cyber truck has been
delayed until at least 2022 no matter which model you are interested in the
delay is likely a result of the unusual production techniques the cybertrucks
design requires i mean have you ever made shatterproof Windows that aren't
actually shatterproof it's complicated elon musk's company
does risk falling behind in the ev truck wars since rivals are quickly getting
their competing models to market but those don't look like you turn the
polygon count to the lowest setting so who's gonna buy him garbage total garbo
you can't have a high poly model for a truck that just looks like a regular
truck yeah who wants that and yet another mario game has smashed the
record for a single sale a sealed original copy of super mario brothers
for the nes sold for 2 million dollars last week eclipsing
july's sale of his copy of super mario 64 for a little over 1.5 million why i
don't know i asked this as soon as i saw
this headline it's so stupid the new record holder fetched a 9.8
rating so the buyer will be getting a pristine copy of the game that they'll
surely never play like i mean there are so many ways to play super mario
brothers 1. huh wow that was definitely an episode of tech
linked come on back on wednesday for more tech news and uh don't
look at the internet until then there's some rough stuff out there there really
