tackling number three four five yeah
all right guys you better watch this entire video right now otherwise
so last week NVIDIA crippled the mining efficiency of the upcoming rtx 3060
graphics card and announced the new cmp gpus specifically designed for mining
this was supposed to ensure that gamers could actually get their hands on gaming
gpus before miners bought up all the stock and that
would have been a smart move if it wasn't actually a really dumb move
because a youtuber named crypto leo has already shown that the 3060 can still
mine cryptocurrency and make a profit i'm shocked
NVIDIA's unhackable limiter only kicks in when it detects the 3060 is being
used to mine ethereum but it does jack squat when mining other crypto coins
like
they were like one of three got it like octopus and cortex which honestly sounds
like they'd be way more fun to mine anyway and miners know this because even though
the 3060 is supposed to release tomorrow the card is already showing up on
secondhand markets all over the world where miners are buying them up it's
even more of a shame because this card looks like it will outperform both the
rtx 2060 and 2070 that is if anyone ever
gets to game on it honestly NVIDIA this
plan was never going to work but it's the thought that counts and you were
thinking about money so this still sucks facebook will stop blocking australian
news content after mark zuckerberg personally talked with australian
treasurer josh frydenberg fridenberg
friedenberg who told reporters facebook has re-friended australia
my heart
you see australia was proposing legislation that would force tech giants
to pay news publishers for linking to their articles and facebook responded in
the mature adult way by throwing a tantrum and banning news posts by all
australian users and news outlets the company says they've committed to spend
at least one billion dollars in the news industry over the next three years while
google has made similar commitments with news publishers so it looks like the
aussies might be backing off a bit get out of here
the deals may have been influenced by rogue agent microsoft who despite owning
their own search engine back the french and australian government's attempts to
implement a link tax but i mean is bing
really a search engine i thought it was like a rick roll situation hey god that was a good burn
madison you tell them i wrote this entire thing
and google is slowly being confronted with the realization that they maybe
should have toned down their ambition for stadia a little bit a class-action
lawsuit has been filed against google id software and bungie for misleading
customers about stadia's ability to run games at 4k and 60fps because the 4k
those games were running at was just upscaled from a lower resolution this
week google also ran into this problem where they're short on developers who
can fix the bugs in stadia exclusive journey to the savage planet because
they fired those very developers when stadia's internal game studio was shut
down she's a huge mistake the bugs are patched now but i feel like
stadia still got some holes in the game plan but a stadium is done for who will
we depend on to make wild unrealistic claims about the future of cloud gaming
don't worry microsoft's got it covered recently telling gamerant that xcloud
will enable gaming experiences that were previously impossible
will i be able to play halo infinite on the apple watch then what's the point no
the answer is no you won't be able to do that there's too much negative latency
got it now it's time for quick bits brought to
you by volta 2.0 the reliable single cable for all your devices it supports
charging and data transfer on basically anything with a usb port plus it's
magnetic and snag proof like that other magnetic connector standard that apple
killed years ago not a day goes by that i don't think of him
volta has a 30-day money-back guarantee and lifetime warranty so stop
accidentally yanking your phone onto the floor by the cord when you flail your
arms like i do multiple times a day and check out the volta 2.0 at the link
below quick bits are definitely a thing that's
one thing i'm sure of
a major overhaul is reportedly on the way to Windows 10 the 21 h2 update
codenamed sun valley will bring a new softer design with rounded corners new
animations the action center from Windows 10x but most importantly we
might get consolidation of the currently horrible Windows 7 and Windows 10
control panel situation they're going to merge like goku and vegeta yeah you know
you seen them do that i love anime
i have anime and god on my side
hp has announced that they're acquiring hyperx the gaming division of hardware
maker kingston for 425 million dollars
kingston will keep making RAM ssds and all that but hyperx's mice keyboards
headsets and more will now be hp products i've tried to think about how
they're going to brand it to fit the hp into hyperx but i can't envision it
it's either an hp or an s just put the whole alphabet in it while
you're at it zdnet is reporting that samsung will release a Windows 10 laptop
later this year powered by the company's own ARM-based exynos CPU and an
accompanying AMD GPU on the one hand ARM-based Windows laptops usually suck
on the other hand exynos is built by samsung so maybe they'll have some apple
m1 style magic to make it not suck on the other other hand samsung phones
with exynos chips suck i guess you should buy a chromebook
fry's electronics a mainstay of pc builders and tech enthusiasts for
decades is shutting down all 30 of its american locations and going out of
business i actually didn't know that oh you know
i yeah i identified electronics
they always were in really weird buildings the one in like arizona was in a pyramid
it was like a pyramid i think it used to be a movie theater it's being said that
a mixture of consignment practices and the impact of the pandemic is
responsible but scattered reports also reference a hooded jeff bezos stabbing
the back of the store with an amazon basics knife so i think there's more to
this story and if you were hoping to give bioware's
ill-fated action rpg anthem a shot for some ill-conceived reason ea has shut
down the game's development the developers and fans were hoping for
a no man's sky style makeover but it's just not gonna happen but if you're
looking for another project to place your unrealistic hopes on there's always
star citizen
did you get it back you should ask for a refund it will
eventually it's the new stonk there's no more
stories man that's it
okay fine but we'll be back on friday for more tech news but that's the last
time we're gonna keep making i don't know where you came up with that i said
