WEBVTT 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 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 00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:14.000 you now. This is a real tech news show. 00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:17.359 I swear. Yeah. Microsoft claims it is 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:20.160 ending USBC port confusion once and for 00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:24.800 all by making USB requirements like support for power delivery and display 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:30.480 port alt mode mandatory for laptop manufacturers under the Windows hardware 00:00:27.279 --> 00:00:32.399 compatibility program or WHCP. 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:37.200 Previously, these requirements were optional, which is why some laptop USBC 00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:41.120 ports will fast charge your phone and cook you a chicken dinner while you're 00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:46.960 waiting, and others will actively spit out your cable. the sassiest ports. It 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:51.840 sucks. But now Microsoft is translating pain into policy, which makes it sound 00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:57.920 like they purposefully caused suffering to use as raw material for the new good 00:00:54.800 --> 00:01:01.039 USB rules. Microsoft is making two firm 00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:03.520 promises. One, all USB peripherals, 00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:09.000 chargers, and displays will work exactly as advertised on any USBC port on a WHCP 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:16.000 certified device. and other one laptops that support 40 or 00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:21.600 80 Gbits per second USB speeds will have full compatibility with USB 4 and 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:24.159 Thunderbolt 3 peripherals on every port. 00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:28.240 Now, shopping for cables will still require sifting through a hay stack of 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:34.079 performance rating logos that look extremely similar, but going forward, 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:36.880 every laptop USBC port should just work 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:42.000 as long as laptop manufacturers agree to it. I mean, come on. They're not Apple. 00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:46.560 NVIDIA and MediaTek's ARMbased laptop system on chip may launch in an 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:52.399 Alienware gaming laptop sometime around the end of 2025 or early 2026. Industry 00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:57.759 insiders reportedly told Taiwanese outlet United Daily News. This rumor was 00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:03.040 actually first shared last week by YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead, who 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:06.479 flashed a supposed image of this SOC 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:09.119 shared with him by one of his insiders. 00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:12.800 Where are my insiders? Andrew leaked something to me. The guest on that 00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:17.840 video, Wendell from Level One Text, is sometimes hard to read, but I think he 00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:24.319 liked it. Now, the leaked image seems to closely resemble NVIDIA's GB10 SoC, 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:26.640 which powers their DGX Spark AI mini 00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:31.360 PCs, a product that led many to think the company was going to unveil a 00:02:28.760 --> 00:02:36.480 consumerfocused all NIVvidia compact gaming PC at 00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:38.879 Computex. Uh, they didn't. 00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:43.599 This PC is one that Windows Central notes would change gaming laptop design 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:49.519 forever because you may have forgotten by now, this is reportedly an ARMbased 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:51.920 gaming APU for laptops. While last 00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:57.120 year's Qualcomm Snapdragon X series Windows laptops were impressive in many 00:02:54.480 --> 00:03:01.200 ways, gaming was not exactly their strong suit. NVIDIA has a chance to 00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:07.519 prove that they can launch an efficient ARM CPU plus GPU combo with AI upscaling 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 00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:16.159 Radeon RX960 XT review has leaked or at 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:21.599 least some benchmark slides have leaked after PC news site E Technics seemed to 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:26.800 prematurely publish their review. These slides were captured by dragon rider 00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:33.599 based demon Targaryen on Reddit and beloved comedy filmmaker John Hughes on 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:36.000 Twitter, showing the 960 XT, the 16 GB 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:43.519 version, getting an average FPS just under the RTX 5060Ti at 1440p and 1080p. 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. 00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:53.760 So, you'll probably the the the 3D Markheads will love that. Depending on 00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:58.640 the real world price, this makes the 9060 XT look not too bad. Hopefully, 00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:03.840 some gamers find the funds to pick one up because Valve just released their 00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:07.519 Steam hardware survey. And the RX970 and 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:10.319 9070 XT are nowhere to be found, despite 00:04:07.519 --> 00:04:15.840 AMD CEO Dr. releases Sue claiming that first week sales of the 9070 XT beat 00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:21.600 previous generations of Radeon cards by 10 times. Something's fishy here. NVIDIA 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:25.680 also just reported record gaming revenue, saying it's up 42% 00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:29.600 year-over-year and 48% quarter over quarter. But it's possible that this 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:34.960 gaming revenue is just coming from people buying gaming GPUs to use for AI, 00:04:32.960 --> 00:04:41.040 which NVIDIA obviously cares a lot more about now that gaming represents a 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:44.120 poultry 8 12% of their total revenue. I 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:46.960 mean, just look at this 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, 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:56.720 your personal data deletion specialist, which is a useful thing to have since 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:59.759 data brokers already have your info. Unless you've avoided using the internet 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:05.120 for the past couple decades and this is the first video you've watched since 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:07.280 2004, I am honored. And also, I'm so 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 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:15.280 family plans now with easy to use, regularly scheduled personal data 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:19.120 deletion requests and detailed reports for the whole squad. Head on over to the 00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:24.479 video description and check out Delete Me today. Real shows have segments and 00:05:22.400 --> 00:05:28.639 we have those, but they're just the same thing but shorter and they're called 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:33.919 Quickbits. Tens of thousands of dollars worth of Zotac RTX 5090s were apparently 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:38.400 removed from their boxes and replaced with three backpacks before being 00:05:38.440 --> 00:05:44.320 sold. This is like the three kids in a trench coat thing, but it's backpacks. 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:49.120 And to make things worse, they were one strap backpacks, which were kind of cool 00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:54.320 at one point, but not anymore. When a victim of this scam, Redditor James Ferg 00:05:51.840 --> 00:06:00.720 650, told Microenter, where he bought the GPU, about it, they found 31 more 00:05:58.039 --> 00:06:06.240 nonGPUs in their inventory, which appear to have been swapped back at their Zotac 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:09.280 supplier. MicroEnter gave James Fergen 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:10.960 actual 5090 and thankfully took the 00:06:09.280 --> 00:06:15.199 backpacks off his hands. Those should not be in the wild. Elon Musk announced 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:19.440 that Twitter, which he keeps calling X for some reason, is continuing to morph 00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:25.720 into the Everything app with the roll out of Xhat, which will feature 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:28.240 end-to-end encryption, quote, Bitcoin 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 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:36.639 one problem. Bitcoin uh doesn't have 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:42.240 encryption, as pointed out by a number of coin bros in Elon's replies. The CEO 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 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 00:06:49.280 --> 00:06:56.080 European Commission's ruling that found the company to be non-compliant with the 00:06:53.759 --> 00:07:00.479 EU's Digital Markets Act, particularly its interoperability requirements that 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:05.440 require data like notification content to be shared with third-party devices. 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:08.720 Apple says they can't trust what those devices are going to do with sensitive 00:07:06.960 --> 00:07:13.520 data like that. And although they've asked to talk to the EU about this, the 00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:16.960 EU is giving them the cold shoulder. But, you know, maybe we should hear 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 00:07:19.599 --> 00:07:25.199 Apple TV is the most secure set top box. 00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:29.280 And that's one of the only good options out there when the NVIDIA Shields are 00:07:27.520 --> 00:07:32.400 starting to crumble into dust at this point. We need something. Ahead of 00:07:30.880 --> 00:07:37.599 everybody actually getting their meat mittens on a Switch 2, Nintendo has 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:42.000 issued a warning not to peel off the protective film on the display, which I 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:46.240 think is very proactive. This has happened many times in the past, most 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:50.800 notably with the first Samsung Galaxy Fold. Mark German was one of the first 00:07:48.479 --> 00:07:54.800 to take one for the team and post his embarrassing story about peeling it off 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:59.280 by accident. But that's okay because he became Germicus Maximus, the prime 00:07:57.039 --> 00:08:04.319 gurmuloid. But it might not work out for you. So, leave that thing on. And brain 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:08.400 computer interface company Paradromix has taken its competition with Neurolink 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:13.599 to the next level by successfully installing its Kexus implant in a 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:18.560 patient. Got to be honest here though, they did put it in there and then take 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:21.840 it back out 10 minutes later. It It wasn't ready to fully commit, you know? 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 00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:29.440 brain starts to taste bitter. This was a bad joke about tea. For more bad jokes, 00:08:27.599 --> 00:08:34.000 but also tech news, come back on Wednesday and watch another episode of 00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:37.440 the very real, very legitimate news program, Tech LinkedIn.
