okay hold on hold on everybody just just just
shh
in your heart you already know the tech news
but i'm going to read it to you for fun
there's been a lot of buzz around the new rtx 3000 series graphics cards but
we just got some news about some other NVIDIA gpus that would have been called
quadro and tesla if NVIDIA wasn't apparently retiring both of those names
yep the new NVIDIA rtx a6000 and a40 are
a couple of sleek looking cards intended for professional and workstation or
enterprise use with no latin sounding or
uh automotive sounding sub brands attached to them at all although they
have the same ga 102 GPU as the rtx 3080
and 3090 these pro level cards come with a whopping 48 gigabytes of vram
and interestingly the a40 variant is going to be passively cooled so it can
be used in high density environments like data centers
images show lots of metal fins coming off of the cart itself though it's not
clear exactly what prompted NVIDIA to axe the quadro and tesla names or if
they're going to replace them with something else my suggestion is ocho
it sounds twice as good math hey math joke apple's involved in
another lawsuit this time against a canadian contractor for selling eye
stuffs without permission apparently the contractor in question jeep was supposed
to keep i don't know how do you pronounce that it doesn't matter the con
they were supposed to take apart and recycle apple watches ipads and iphones
but instead over 100 000 of these
devices were re-sold while the contractor does not deny that
the gadgets were improperly sold it claims that a handful of employees stole
the equipment for personal gain and that their actions were not approved by the
company totally apple says that it's concerned
about old unsafe products ending up in the hands of consumers which can be a
safety hazard although undoubtedly there are also monetary
considerations as apple wants over 23
million us dollars in damages which has i think about a 100 trillion canadian
shillings or something like that facebook is no stranger to heavy
government scrutiny but a new leak has shown that the company is at least a
little concerned about a potential doomsday scenario which for them means
letting go of any of the personal data that they've spent years sucking into
their servers according to the wall street journal an
internal facebook document contains a plan for how the social media giant
would defend itself if it were ordered to spin off instagram and whatsapp which
have been huge money makers for them although it's unclear whether a breakup
of facebook is actually on the table there have been rumors that the u.s
government could file an anti-trust suit against facebook before the end of the
year and that facebook's argument which seems to center around prior government
approval of its acquisitions might not hold up very well in court
maybe we could all you know pool our pocket money together and buy instagram
i don't want it personally i'm waiting for the spin-off so that they can have a
beyblades battle get it now it's time for the creek beats

tried them juicy they're delicious AMD ryzen continues to gain market share
against Intel as last month's steam hardware survey shows that AMD
processors are now found in over one quarter of all steam users rigs
this marks over a three percent increase since may and it'll be interesting to
see how this number moves once zen 3 is released getting the Intel AMD balance
closer to 50 50. that would be very zen indeed that's a good joke
good job yeah good job the british government has
some egg on its face after it under-reported pandemic cases by nearly
16 000 apparently the oversight was due to an issue with microsoft excel
the spreadsheet program can only display 2 to the 20 or 148 576 rows anything
after that will get cut off hence the missing cases and yet another example of
how productivity software continually finds new ways to frustrate us
hey if you're worried that cyberpunk 2077 might get pushed back again you can
breathe a sigh of release
as cd projekt red has announced the game has gone gold meaning that it's mostly
bug free probably we hope the game is on track to be released on november 19th so
you won't have to wait too much longer to get your keanu fix without
re-watching the replacements for the 20th time
i love that spotify search function is adding a
useful new feature punching in a song's lyrics will now bring up a list of
matching tracks apple music has offered the same feature for a couple of years
so it's definitely about time spotify got the same thing because i can't keep
up with the name of every song the kids are listening to these days
just you know don't punch in anything like the word love because i think it
might crash the server and one gamer has found a way to put the
rtx 3090's 24 gigabytes of vram to an
interesting use by creating a virtual RAM drive and then installing none other
than crysis 3 onto the graphics card's
memory itself why not this isn't exactly a
practical way to store your games but it looked like a fun experiment and the car
did indeed still run crisis that's it for today come back wednesday for more
tech news in glorious 30 frames per second why don't we go faster because
it's 20 more than cinematic
144 we'll get there eventually too fast
