1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,490
you know this show's kind of a big deal now we even have our own TechLinked

2
00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:08,160
hype squad

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:15,920
jesse wait where are the rest of them you're not one person that's not

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,320
AMD released a new version of Radeon software on tuesday that brought support

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:24,160
for team red's long-awaited fidelity fx super resolution technology which is

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:28,480
supposed to help increase frame rates in games with minimal sacrifices to quality

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:35,200
isn't that how things normally work when you just change the settings and according to our very own Anthony fsr

8
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:39,200
basically succeeds 4k ultra quality looks the best while at lower qualities

9
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:42,399
things start to look a little mushy but the technology is free for anyone to

10
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:46,480
implement so hopefully we see the tech improve over time as it's included in

11
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:49,760
games that people will actually play and not godfall

12
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:54,640
unfortunately this release came alongside AMD dropping support for

13
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:59,280
Radeon gpus older than the 400 series as well as Windows 7 and any 32-bit

14
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:03,440
versions of that same operating system ah right when fsr may have made some old

15
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:07,840
gpus viable again there's something going on here i think these companies

16
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:12,960
want us to buy new things instead of keeping old things forever but they

17
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,960
won't let us buy the new things

18
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:18,720
it has to make sense microsoft has become the second company

19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:23,040
in the world to reach a two trillion dollar market cap after apple hit the

20
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:27,439
milestone first back in august stop this trade please stop and no it's not

21
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:31,040
because of xbox games pass even though that's awesome it's because of growing

22
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:34,640
demand for the company's azure cloud services during the pandemic which is

23
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:38,720
all very interesting but i'd rather talk about the xbox stuff because microsoft

24
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:43,280
has begun rolling out series x hardware for use in xbox cloud gaming as noticed

25
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:47,439
by users who found new high quality options in certain games now you can

26
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:51,360
appreciate the prettier graphics as you die in game because your character threw

27
00:01:49,119 --> 00:01:55,759
a grenade a full second too late the latency isn't that

28
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:59,759
bad yeah it's just i you tested them all they weren't that

29
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:03,680
bad the latency okay but for xbox players who prefer playing

30
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:10,000
off the physical console microsoft also announced three designed for xbox

31
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,480
monitors for from philips ASUS and acer

32
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:18,000
which will work great with an xbox and a ps5 and a pc and basically anything

33
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:22,640
because they're not designed for it they have xbox badges they're very fancy very

34
00:02:20,959 --> 00:02:27,360
much yeah and john mcafee the notorious creator of

35
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:31,680
the mcafee antivirus software and international man of mystery has

36
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:36,000
reportedly been found dead in the barcelona prison where he was being held

37
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:39,840
did you not hear this the local justice department indicated it was likely a

38
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:43,680
suicide but the story is taking on an epstein-esque quality with many

39
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:48,239
theorizing that mcafee may still be alive the news broke mere hours after a

40
00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:52,319
spanish court had approved mcafee's extradition back to the us for tax

41
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:56,160
evasion charges and mcafee has previously claimed that in the future if

42
00:02:54,080 --> 00:03:00,319
it ever looks like he killed himself it was probably the government he also

43
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:05,360
faked a heart attack in guatemala one time to escape the authority so who knows what the heck is going on if i

44
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:10,560
ever die the meme lord may be gone but the meme

45
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:14,080
lives on hold on i gotta change my shirt real quick

46
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:21,280
now it's time for quick bits brought to you by a different way to get a quick dose of the news morning brew

super easy to consume format it's like what coffee does for caffeine you see

50
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:37,440
how the name see the analogy here with morning brew

52

53
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:49,840
news and to find out whether we've run out of intro ideas yet this is a whole nother thing and i promise i won't be

54
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:54,799
offended it takes less than 15 seconds to subscribe so do that for free at the

55
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,799
link below

56
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:02,000
delicious every episode there's one quick bit that i keep for myself in the

57
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:05,200
past the eu has prioritized protecting users from companies that collect their

58
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:09,599
data but now they're investigating google's flock system because it allows

59
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:14,239
google to hide user data from other advertisers well which is it europe i

60
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:18,079
guess the deal is that if your data is going to be collected then it has to be

61
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:21,840
collected equally by all parties i'm sorry we have to send these nudes to the

62
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,840
whole county it's only fair equal distribution if

63
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:29,520
you're tired of google's hijinks you might want to try out brave search which

64
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,160
was just launched by the makers of the privacy-focused brave browser and is

65
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:37,360
based on braves own index of the web independent from google's although if

66
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:42,320
brave search can't find what you're looking for it might still pull from

67
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:45,440
other engines including bing so just be aware you may have that on your

68
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,040
conscience interacting with bing in any way

69
00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:56,400
epic games has made its easy anti-cheat and cross-platform voice chat services

70
00:04:54,479 --> 00:05:00,639
available for free to all developers even if they release their games on

71
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:03,840
steam free games free services epic strategy for dominance seems to involve

72
00:05:02,479 --> 00:05:09,120
waving free things in front in everyone's face until they finally like you and it might pay off although it

73
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,240
seems like the free thing that apple got was a lawsuit

74
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:19,840
square enix has fixed a bizarre bug in marvel's avengers that displayed the ip

75
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:23,600
addresses of playstation 5 players on screen which would make live streaming

76
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:28,000
the game somewhat dangerous if anyone was streaming marvel's avengers i've got

77
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:30,880
some zingers today they're not great but

78
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,880
it's unlike me and NVIDIA has released canvas it's ai powered app that

79
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:39,759
generates photorealistic landscape images from disgustingly simple doodles

80
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:43,039
barely resembling images you'll need an rtx GPU to use the app if you're looking

81
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:46,720
for a way to get a false sense of accomplishment i drew that

82
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:53,440
on the fridge see that would be nice because it's a

83
00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:57,600
toddler hmm i guess that's the use case you totally finished watching this

84
00:05:55,280 --> 00:06:01,600
episode nice job yeah come on fact on friday for more

85
