oh please james please give us the tech
news listen to yourselves you sound great
come here take a seat i love you well we weren't supposed to
be talking about this for about another two weeks but here we are telling you
that the first review of an Intel 11th gen desktop processor has been published
you see just this week Intel finally confirmed that the retail launch for the
new chips was march 30th but despite that a non-tech was able to get their
hands on a core i7 11 700k
via retail and earlier today published their full review the chip apparently
lives up to its rocket lake codename in the starship exploding on the landing
pad kinda way because it runs pretty hot and consumed more power than the other
cpus in the test suite while also showing disappointing performance in
professional and gaming benchmarks
wow despite the lackluster showing when told by anantech that they were going to
break the embargo Intel was apparently excited and offered no official comment
on the situation which sounds like Intel maybe wanted
this to happen did they not realize the chip isn't so
great i would say it isn't so hot but it's hot are we breaking the news to
them right this second i'm sorry Intel it was tetris
it's always cars NVIDIA's unhackable ethereum mining
limiter on the rtx 3060 was such a wild
success that they're apparently going to include it on the upcoming rtx 3080 ti
2. not two but t-o-o
at least that's what the leaker copite kimi says and usually people with
numbers in their name are more trustworthy i read that on 8-chan they
also claim that the 3080 ti will have 12 gigabytes of vram which would place it
nicely between the rtx 3080 and the 3090. the goldilocks zone for rich
people but if you're in the market for a lower powered model video cards
spotted an ASUS gaming laptop listing featuring an rtx 3050 ti meaning there
might be more budget GPU options in that abstract mystical land we're
referring to when we talk about gpus in 2021
you get your second booster shot and then
and yet another rumor about a nintendo switch pro is circulating thanks to a
new bloomberg report which claims the new model will launch by the end of this
year and feature a 7 inch 720
OLED display while that's bigger than the 6.2 inch
screen on the og switch it's the same 720 resolution it's the same pixel as a
spread out however the so-called switch pro will be able to output 4k video to
tvs and dock mode yeah we've heard that before like i said switch pro rumors
have been as abundant as chips have been scarce this past year that's kind of a
weird phrasing uh but given that nintendo's president just talked extensively about the switch's lifespan
in an interview with nikai business we might actually see the console
materialized by christmas isn't that the greatest gift of all i
think so now it's time for the quick bits brought to you by my good friends at sea sonic
pow when you think of the way that season's power supplies deliver ultra
efficient power to a pc wow it just makes my skin

version of iOS 14.5 made it seem like iphone users would be able to set a
default music service other than apple music apple has clarified that of course
that's not true nope while siri will learn which app you
want to use for certain things the default app will remain apple music
because why would you want to set an inferior app as the default anything
don't you love tim apple don't you think he knows what's good for you he tries
his best he's crying right now
give him some money to dry his eyes and then uninstall spotify
facebook's ai researchers are applying self-supervised learning methods to
develop computer vision models not models with computer vision these are
the most unsexy types of models you can imagine it's all math here
ai systems supervising their own training means that there won't be as
much of a need to label images so humans can keep up which sounds great honestly
it's so hard to always make sure ai isn't becoming sentient and planning to
kill us having to supervise itself seems much easier
i just get to it already yeah i don't have to do any work for my own
demise samsung and mastercard are working together to develop a credit
card with a built-in fingerprint reader so you can put your greasy digit on it

have to actually do that uh actually no americans don't even they
just swipe and shine and you can even look at them disdainfully as you use your fancy
futuristic card you're buying that
