nice are alive with the sound of tech news
so we're all waiting for NVIDIA to drop its new ampere graphics cards on it but
we haven't gotten much information on them other than speculation that they'll
be faster and cheaper however a new
leaked benchmark has shown an unspecified GPU from NVIDIA with 33
teraflops of performance that's more flops than a pancake house
one of the leaked benchmarks showed a card with 118 streaming multi-processors
while the other had 108 putting both well ahead of NVIDIA's current offerings
do keep in mind though that these numbers may mean these are gpus destined
for NVIDIA's professional and workstation lineup but even so it could
be a sign that will be offered something pretty exciting on the consumer side
almost as exciting as if they started selling replicas of jensen's leather
jacket i just that's what i've wanted all my life to look like jensen you
might remember that apple was busted a couple years ago for intentionally
throttling older iphones ostensibly to prevent issues with aging batteries
consumers and governments became angry that apple didn't tell anyone about this
which landed the tech giant in some hot water with regulatory authorities in the
u.s it looks like the proceedings might be wrapping up as reports indicate apple
is going to be settling for about 500 million dollars which sounds like a lot
but actually works out to about 25 bucks per iphone if you had any phone in the
iphone 6 or 7 families or an iphone se which ran specific iOS versions you
should be covered so take a trip to the dollar store and fill your cart up with
about 25 items at t has been losing video subscribers for a while now but it
hopes to turn things around with this week's nationwide rollout of its new at
t tv service that's not confusing
tv oh jeez this is actually not the same as
its a t tv now service which is a
platform that works without proprietary equipment similar to youtube tv albeit
more expensive instead this new at t tv
actually resembles you guessed it traditional pay tv where you have to use
an att provided Android tv powered streaming box
there's too many times oh goodness and surprise surprise you also get roped
into a two-year contract our favorite part of cable tv meaning that while for
the first year you pay 50 bucks a month it jumps to 93 in the second the idea
seems to be for att to keep offering regular pay tv
meaning more channels without the extra infrastructure costs of directv or home
fiber connections so it isn't really for cord cutters so much as it is for
masochists just like that story was good gravy way too many tnt

the current health crisis that's unfolding has caused the
cancellation of tech events left and right but one major name is soldiering
on ltx that's true yeah for the time being e3 is
planning to run their show as usual and the fact that companies that are
supposed to exhibit at the show haven't pulled out yet certainly helps e3 is
scheduled to take place in los angeles in early june but i'll bring my paper
mask just in case i'm not going
there's been debate for a while about the merits of getting a monitor that can support 144 frames per second but what
if you could game at a thousand FPS
you don't need that much explain this looks like it'll be the case for the
upcoming game doom eternal where the new game engine the developers are using
will support a thousand frames per second in tests the studio was able to
run the game at 400 frames per second with some high-end hardware but good
luck finding a monitor that runs that fast although we're getting there pretty
quick i know something
secrets next time you see a graphics card rumor on twitter from some random
account take it with a boulder of salt
i was gonna a user i recently posted some supposed
specs of AMD's upcoming big navi GPU but
manufacturer sk hynix quickly quashed
the rumor pointing out quashed
they pointed out that the korean text in the supposed leaked document was just
nonsense it didn't mean anything so either approach these things with a
degree of skepticism or brush up on your east asian language skills i need to
brush up a lot because i don't have any if you want a 5g phone but live in an
area where service is limited you could always head
to walmart what a new report indicates that verizon and
walmart are negotiating to fit stores with 5g service
primarily to enhance the retail chain's medical services offerings but of course
you can get like medical diagnostic stuff at walmart if you're going to have
a heart attack having a wall yeah
eat a bunch of stuff and then just walk right into the clinic
but of course customers browsing the aisles could be able to access these
services too if they get some of the kinks worked out relating to range for
5g i wonder if i could just set up a tent in the sports and outdoors section
with a laptop for a few hours no one would notice and there's a new
way to make money playing games for college students who enjoy competitive
overwatch there's a new collegiate clash series that will offer a total of 40

make a huge debt in your student loans sorry well that's our show come back on
