we are so excited to tell you that today's TechLinked will have two to
four times more Tech news than our last episode you will have to enable our new
replay technology but I don't think about that it's fine AMD
is about to have their own moment in the sun after a week full of NVIDIA
headlines team Green's really testing the whole any publicity is good public
you know you've heard that but ahead of the ryzen 7000 launch next week team red
has shared ryzen 9 7950x benchmarks from
overclocker Samson and blue leader who broke not one but four records for the
highest score in cinebench R23 R20 R15
and 7-Zip so many letters and numbers today there's lots I love them the
record-breaking isn't very impressive by itself but the key detail is that it was
accomplished without the use of liquid nitrogen aka the best part of 9th Grade
science class aka the computer World version of steroids the overclockers use
just a regular old Corsair h115i liquid
cooler and cemented their place in the history of this YouTube video it's worth
noting though that the 7-Zip test showed a temperature of 108 degrees Celsius so
you probably won't want to recreate their work if you get your own 7950x
maybe just have some of the spooky ice water on hand just in case Splash a
little on there lttstore.com liquid nitrogen Windows 11 has received
its first major update since launching almost a year ago unless you count all
the patches they had to rush out to fix performance issues those were Band-Aids
I was just getting ready for lunch but the 2H 22 upgrade is more like an up
grade let me guess makes it more like Windows 10. yeah no bringing
improvements to snap layouts new Focus sessions and do not disturb mode
system-wide live captions and audio visual effects in the Windows Studio
camera and there's more stuff too but I'm done listing things this is still a
Windows update we're talking about so you know it also broke something users
with NVIDIA gpus have reported massive stuttering and lag while gaming NVIDIA
said they're investigating but apparently rolling back the update fixes
those problems if you're running Windows 11 on unsupported Hardware you can still
update but you'll have to manually trigger the update by changing a
registry key there's no reason to know don't do it I mean it sounds like you
should probably wait until the issues are fixed so don't yeah don't do it yet
what are you doing why would you start the update during the video what are you
did you do you see this I'm out of here and starlink is getting more popular
which apparently means that it's getting slower
the speed testing service that every Mega nerd loads up as soon as they
connect to a new network so they can bandwidth brag on Twitter reported that
median speeds for Elon musk's satellite internet Adventure in the US dropped
from 90.6 megabits per second in q1 to
62.5 megap megabits per second in Q2 of
this year it's almost 50 that's still quite usable if not quite in downloading
AAA games in minutes as a flex territory and it's also quite a bit faster than
starlink's competitors ViaSat and HughesNet you said quite a lot I love
the word HughesNet is just run by a guy named
Hugh he got a grant for it
it's me and the other Hues that's it no I just really thought maybe the
satellite and Elon did say building out the network while providing usable
speeds would be a challenge he knows better than anyone that popularity isn't
easy especially when you're a 50 year old Edge Lord troll hard to make friends

a number of people have pointed out that the main stories should be called not
chunky bits but dick bits
awesome Google is working on something called project caveat but it's actually
not for the bourgeoisie the tech giant wants to develop two New Media formats
for HDR and 3D audio to serve as royalty-free alternatives to Dolby
vision and Dolby Atmos which require that Hardware manufacturers including
Google themselves Cheapskates pay licensing fees yep they they got a lot
of money you think it does good work for us yeah I know open media formats would
be great for the industry but they also kind of annoying since Dolby Atmos and
vision have almost become something of an industry standard if a monopoly makes
things easier is it still a monopoly tick tock's parent company bite dance
recently bought VR headset maker Pico and now they've come out with a new
device that could steal some of meta's Thunder that's thundering about thunder
that was dumb the Pico 4 has higher of
screen resolution thinner lenses a wider field of view motorized ipd adjustment
and more memory than the Quest 2 and it's even a bit cheaper starting at 430
Euros it's not coming here meta will be unveiling their Quest Pro headset
October 11th but it's nice to know there's an alternative product from a
different company looking to collect every piece of data about you it possibly can now with more government it
it's because they love you at the end of the day London Police say they've
arrested a 17 year old hacker that many are speculating is the same one believed
to be responsible for the recent massive hacks of Rockstar's GTA 6 assets and
Uber's network if this is the hacker responsible they claimed responsibility
for both hacks and is believed to be involved with lapsus exactly the hacking
group that also attacked Microsoft Samsung and NVIDIA among others they're
just kids they're fooling around the internet they're doing skateboard tricks
let them spray graffiti on stuff it's fine more creative platforms forms have
banned AI generated images stock Asset Services Getty Images and Shutterstock
big surprise announced that the upload and sale of images produced by new art
tools like Dolly mid-journey and stable diffusion will be prohibited the move
comes after thousands of such images were uploaded to stock photo websites on
mass in what is becoming a common Trend but at least there isn't any
anthropomorphic animal private parts involved in this case I think I haven't
checked I'll wait I'll wait till this is done the snake really should eat its own
tail if you're into that and NVIDIA's shenanigans may have made you even more
determined to buy a used GPU but beware
videos have surfaced showing crypto miners spraying racks of graphics cards
down with a pressure washer presumably before selling them off because maybe
you blow off a capacitor or two but you want the customer to open that package
and smell a freshly clean GPU not even a whiff of Ponzi scheme yes cleanliness is
more important than functionality it looks really good and it's time for us
to say smell you later come back on Monday for more Tech news it'll be back
to the normal amount because this was this was exhausting we can't keep this
up no yeah
