1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,680 It's important to remember that I'm not just a guy who spent all day looking up 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:10,400 a bunch of stuff online and wrote it into a script that I'm going to read for 3 00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:14,000 you now. This is a real tech news show. 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:17,359 I swear. Yeah. Microsoft claims it is 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,160 ending USBC port confusion once and for 6 00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:24,800 all by making USB requirements like support for power delivery and display 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:30,480 port alt mode mandatory for laptop manufacturers under the Windows hardware 8 00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:32,399 compatibility program or WHCP. 9 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:37,200 Previously, these requirements were optional, which is why some laptop USBC 10 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:41,120 ports will fast charge your phone and cook you a chicken dinner while you're 11 00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:46,960 waiting, and others will actively spit out your cable. the sassiest ports. It 12 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:51,840 sucks. But now Microsoft is translating pain into policy, which makes it sound 13 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:57,920 like they purposefully caused suffering to use as raw material for the new good 14 00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:01,039 USB rules. Microsoft is making two firm 15 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:03,520 promises. One, all USB peripherals, 16 00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:09,000 chargers, and displays will work exactly as advertised on any USBC port on a WHCP 17 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:16,000 certified device. and other one laptops that support 40 or 18 00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:21,600 80 Gbits per second USB speeds will have full compatibility with USB 4 and 19 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:24,159 Thunderbolt 3 peripherals on every port. 20 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:28,240 Now, shopping for cables will still require sifting through a hay stack of 21 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:34,079 performance rating logos that look extremely similar, but going forward, 22 00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:36,880 every laptop USBC port should just work 23 00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:42,000 as long as laptop manufacturers agree to it. I mean, come on. They're not Apple. 24 00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:46,560 NVIDIA and MediaTek's ARMbased laptop system on chip may launch in an 25 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:52,399 Alienware gaming laptop sometime around the end of 2025 or early 2026. Industry 26 00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:57,759 insiders reportedly told Taiwanese outlet United Daily News. This rumor was 27 00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:03,040 actually first shared last week by YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead, who 28 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,479 flashed a supposed image of this SOC 29 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:09,119 shared with him by one of his insiders. 30 00:02:06,479 --> 00:02:12,800 Where are my insiders? Andrew leaked something to me. The guest on that 31 00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:17,840 video, Wendell from Level One Text, is sometimes hard to read, but I think he 32 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:24,319 liked it. Now, the leaked image seems to closely resemble NVIDIA's GB10 SoC, 33 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:26,640 which powers their DGX Spark AI mini 34 00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:31,360 PCs, a product that led many to think the company was going to unveil a 35 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:36,480 consumerfocused all NIVvidia compact gaming PC at 36 00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:38,879 Computex. Uh, they didn't. 37 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:43,599 This PC is one that Windows Central notes would change gaming laptop design 38 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:49,519 forever because you may have forgotten by now, this is reportedly an ARMbased 39 00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:51,920 gaming APU for laptops. While last 40 00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:57,120 year's Qualcomm Snapdragon X series Windows laptops were impressive in many 41 00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:01,200 ways, gaming was not exactly their strong suit. NVIDIA has a chance to 42 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:07,519 prove that they can launch an efficient ARM CPU plus GPU combo with AI upscaling 43 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:14,080 so you can play games on the go that look as lifelike as a Google V3 video. A 44 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:16,159 Radeon RX960 XT review has leaked or at 45 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:21,599 least some benchmark slides have leaked after PC news site E Technics seemed to 46 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:26,800 prematurely publish their review. These slides were captured by dragon rider 47 00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:33,599 based demon Targaryen on Reddit and beloved comedy filmmaker John Hughes on 48 00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:36,000 Twitter, showing the 960 XT, the 16 GB 49 00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:43,519 version, getting an average FPS just under the RTX 5060Ti at 1440p and 1080p. 50 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:49,519 Although it's a big jump over the RX 7600 XT in 3D Mark's Time Spy benchmark. 51 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:53,760 So, you'll probably the the the 3D Markheads will love that. Depending on 52 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:58,640 the real world price, this makes the 9060 XT look not too bad. Hopefully, 53 00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:03,840 some gamers find the funds to pick one up because Valve just released their 54 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:07,519 Steam hardware survey. And the RX970 and 55 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:10,319 9070 XT are nowhere to be found, despite 56 00:04:07,519 --> 00:04:15,840 AMD CEO Dr. releases Sue claiming that first week sales of the 9070 XT beat 57 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:21,600 previous generations of Radeon cards by 10 times. Something's fishy here. NVIDIA 58 00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:25,680 also just reported record gaming revenue, saying it's up 42% 59 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:29,600 year-over-year and 48% quarter over quarter. But it's possible that this 60 00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:34,960 gaming revenue is just coming from people buying gaming GPUs to use for AI, 61 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:41,040 which NVIDIA obviously cares a lot more about now that gaming represents a 62 00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:44,120 poultry 8 12% of their total revenue. I 63 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:46,960 mean, just look at this 64 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:52,479 graph. Ah, I wish I could delete it just like how our sponsor does it. Delete Me, 65 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:56,720 your personal data deletion specialist, which is a useful thing to have since 66 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,759 data brokers already have your info. Unless you've avoided using the internet 67 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:05,120 for the past couple decades and this is the first video you've watched since 68 00:05:01,639 --> 00:05:07,280 2004, I am honored. And also, I'm so 69 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:11,520 sorry. This is how the internet is now. But I'm not sorry that Delete Me has 70 00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:15,280 family plans now with easy to use, regularly scheduled personal data 71 00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:19,120 deletion requests and detailed reports for the whole squad. Head on over to the 72 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:24,479 video description and check out Delete Me today. Real shows have segments and 73 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:28,639 we have those, but they're just the same thing but shorter and they're called 74 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:33,919 Quickbits. Tens of thousands of dollars worth of Zotac RTX 5090s were apparently 75 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:38,400 removed from their boxes and replaced with three backpacks before being 76 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:44,320 sold. This is like the three kids in a trench coat thing, but it's backpacks. 77 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:49,120 And to make things worse, they were one strap backpacks, which were kind of cool 78 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:54,320 at one point, but not anymore. When a victim of this scam, Redditor James Ferg 79 00:05:51,840 --> 00:06:00,720 650, told Microenter, where he bought the GPU, about it, they found 31 more 80 00:05:58,039 --> 00:06:06,240 nonGPUs in their inventory, which appear to have been swapped back at their Zotac 81 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:09,280 supplier. MicroEnter gave James Fergen 82 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,960 actual 5090 and thankfully took the 83 00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:15,199 backpacks off his hands. Those should not be in the wild. Elon Musk announced 84 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:19,440 that Twitter, which he keeps calling X for some reason, is continuing to morph 85 00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:25,720 into the Everything app with the roll out of Xhat, which will feature 86 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:28,240 end-to-end encryption, quote, Bitcoin 87 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:34,560 style. Which is the only way I order my pizza, burnt to a crisp. There's just 88 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,639 one problem. Bitcoin uh doesn't have 89 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:42,240 encryption, as pointed out by a number of coin bros in Elon's replies. The CEO 90 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:46,800 of Airbnb just said he wants to make an everything app and I feel like he might 91 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:51,440 have a better shot. You let's let him try. Apple has filed an appeal of the 92 00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:56,080 European Commission's ruling that found the company to be non-compliant with the 93 00:06:53,759 --> 00:07:00,479 EU's Digital Markets Act, particularly its interoperability requirements that 94 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:05,440 require data like notification content to be shared with third-party devices. 95 00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:08,720 Apple says they can't trust what those devices are going to do with sensitive 96 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:13,520 data like that. And although they've asked to talk to the EU about this, the 97 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:16,960 EU is giving them the cold shoulder. But, you know, maybe we should hear 98 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:23,199 Apple out here for a second because RS Technica just did a deep dive on why the 99 00:07:19,599 --> 00:07:25,199 Apple TV is the most secure set top box. 100 00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:29,280 And that's one of the only good options out there when the NVIDIA Shields are 101 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,400 starting to crumble into dust at this point. We need something. Ahead of 102 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:37,599 everybody actually getting their meat mittens on a Switch 2, Nintendo has 103 00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:42,000 issued a warning not to peel off the protective film on the display, which I 104 00:07:40,639 --> 00:07:46,240 think is very proactive. This has happened many times in the past, most 105 00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:50,800 notably with the first Samsung Galaxy Fold. Mark German was one of the first 106 00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:54,800 to take one for the team and post his embarrassing story about peeling it off 107 00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:59,280 by accident. But that's okay because he became Germicus Maximus, the prime 108 00:07:57,039 --> 00:08:04,319 gurmuloid. But it might not work out for you. So, leave that thing on. And brain 109 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:08,400 computer interface company Paradromix has taken its competition with Neurolink 110 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:13,599 to the next level by successfully installing its Kexus implant in a 111 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:18,560 patient. Got to be honest here though, they did put it in there and then take 112 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:21,840 it back out 10 minutes later. It It wasn't ready to fully commit, you know? 113 00:08:19,919 --> 00:08:25,120 It just wanted to try it on. Plus, if you leave it in there too long, the 114 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:29,440 brain starts to taste bitter. This was a bad joke about tea. For more bad jokes, 115 00:08:27,599 --> 00:08:34,000 but also tech news, come back on Wednesday and watch another episode of 116 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:37,440 the very real, very legitimate news program, Tech LinkedIn.
