1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,040
tackling number three four five yeah

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:11,040
all right guys you better watch this entire video right now otherwise

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:15,360
so last week NVIDIA crippled the mining efficiency of the upcoming rtx 3060

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:19,119
graphics card and announced the new cmp gpus specifically designed for mining

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,320
this was supposed to ensure that gamers could actually get their hands on gaming

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,760
gpus before miners bought up all the stock and that

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:30,880
would have been a smart move if it wasn't actually a really dumb move

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:35,520
because a youtuber named crypto leo has already shown that the 3060 can still

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:39,200
mine cryptocurrency and make a profit i'm shocked

10
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:43,520
NVIDIA's unhackable limiter only kicks in when it detects the 3060 is being

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:47,360
used to mine ethereum but it does jack squat when mining other crypto coins

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,360
like

13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:56,239
they were like one of three got it like octopus and cortex which honestly sounds

14
00:00:54,559 --> 00:01:01,920
like they'd be way more fun to mine anyway and miners know this because even though

15
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:05,519
the 3060 is supposed to release tomorrow the card is already showing up on

16
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:09,040
secondhand markets all over the world where miners are buying them up it's

17
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:14,159
even more of a shame because this card looks like it will outperform both the

18
00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:17,200
rtx 2060 and 2070 that is if anyone ever

19
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:19,280
gets to game on it honestly NVIDIA this

20
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:23,439
plan was never going to work but it's the thought that counts and you were

21
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:26,960
thinking about money so this still sucks facebook will stop blocking australian

22
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:31,920
news content after mark zuckerberg personally talked with australian

23
00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:34,799
treasurer josh frydenberg fridenberg

24
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:40,320
friedenberg who told reporters facebook has re-friended australia

25
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:40,320
my heart

26
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:46,560
you see australia was proposing legislation that would force tech giants

27
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:50,159
to pay news publishers for linking to their articles and facebook responded in

28
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:54,479
the mature adult way by throwing a tantrum and banning news posts by all

29
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,240
australian users and news outlets the company says they've committed to spend

30
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:01,759
at least one billion dollars in the news industry over the next three years while

31
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,280
google has made similar commitments with news publishers so it looks like the

32
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:08,520
aussies might be backing off a bit get out of here

33
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:18,239
the deals may have been influenced by rogue agent microsoft who despite owning

34
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:23,120
their own search engine back the french and australian government's attempts to

35
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,720
implement a link tax but i mean is bing

36
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:30,239
really a search engine i thought it was like a rick roll situation hey god that was a good burn

37
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:35,200
madison you tell them i wrote this entire thing

38
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:38,239
and google is slowly being confronted with the realization that they maybe

39
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:42,640
should have toned down their ambition for stadia a little bit a class-action

40
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,160
lawsuit has been filed against google id software and bungie for misleading

41
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:50,720
customers about stadia's ability to run games at 4k and 60fps because the 4k

42
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,879
those games were running at was just upscaled from a lower resolution this

43
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:58,640
week google also ran into this problem where they're short on developers who

44
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:02,720
can fix the bugs in stadia exclusive journey to the savage planet because

45
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:06,879
they fired those very developers when stadia's internal game studio was shut

46
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:10,640
down she's a huge mistake the bugs are patched now but i feel like

47
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:15,599
stadia still got some holes in the game plan but a stadium is done for who will

48
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:21,120
we depend on to make wild unrealistic claims about the future of cloud gaming

49
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,959
don't worry microsoft's got it covered recently telling gamerant that xcloud

50
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,720
will enable gaming experiences that were previously impossible

51
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:33,440
will i be able to play halo infinite on the apple watch then what's the point no

52
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,920
the answer is no you won't be able to do that there's too much negative latency

53
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:41,840
got it now it's time for quick bits brought to

54
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:46,000
you by volta 2.0 the reliable single cable for all your devices it supports

55
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:50,239
charging and data transfer on basically anything with a usb port plus it's

56
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:54,959
magnetic and snag proof like that other magnetic connector standard that apple

57
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:58,879
killed years ago not a day goes by that i don't think of him

58
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:02,560
volta has a 30-day money-back guarantee and lifetime warranty so stop

59
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:06,720
accidentally yanking your phone onto the floor by the cord when you flail your

60
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:10,400
arms like i do multiple times a day and check out the volta 2.0 at the link

61
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:15,680
below quick bits are definitely a thing that's

62
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:17,600
one thing i'm sure of

63
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:22,639
a major overhaul is reportedly on the way to Windows 10 the 21 h2 update

64
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:26,479
codenamed sun valley will bring a new softer design with rounded corners new

65
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:31,360
animations the action center from Windows 10x but most importantly we

66
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:35,360
might get consolidation of the currently horrible Windows 7 and Windows 10

67
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:42,639
control panel situation they're going to merge like goku and vegeta yeah you know

68
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:46,160
you seen them do that i love anime

69
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:47,919
i have anime and god on my side

70
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:53,520
hp has announced that they're acquiring hyperx the gaming division of hardware

71
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,759
maker kingston for 425 million dollars

72
00:04:53,520 --> 00:05:00,320
kingston will keep making RAM ssds and all that but hyperx's mice keyboards

73
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:04,479
headsets and more will now be hp products i've tried to think about how

74
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:08,720
they're going to brand it to fit the hp into hyperx but i can't envision it

75
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:15,600
it's either an hp or an s just put the whole alphabet in it while

76
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:19,600
you're at it zdnet is reporting that samsung will release a Windows 10 laptop

77
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:24,880
later this year powered by the company's own ARM-based exynos CPU and an

78
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:30,320
accompanying AMD GPU on the one hand ARM-based Windows laptops usually suck

79
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:35,280
on the other hand exynos is built by samsung so maybe they'll have some apple

80
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:39,919
m1 style magic to make it not suck on the other other hand samsung phones

81
00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:43,360
with exynos chips suck i guess you should buy a chromebook

82
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:47,120
fry's electronics a mainstay of pc builders and tech enthusiasts for

83
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:51,919
decades is shutting down all 30 of its american locations and going out of

84
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:56,320
business i actually didn't know that oh you know

85
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,199
i yeah i identified electronics

86
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:02,560
they always were in really weird buildings the one in like arizona was in a pyramid

87
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:06,000
it was like a pyramid i think it used to be a movie theater it's being said that

88
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:09,680
a mixture of consignment practices and the impact of the pandemic is

89
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:13,680
responsible but scattered reports also reference a hooded jeff bezos stabbing

90
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,080
the back of the store with an amazon basics knife so i think there's more to

91
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:22,240
this story and if you were hoping to give bioware's

92
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:27,360
ill-fated action rpg anthem a shot for some ill-conceived reason ea has shut

93
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:31,280
down the game's development the developers and fans were hoping for

94
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,800
a no man's sky style makeover but it's just not gonna happen but if you're

95
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:39,520
looking for another project to place your unrealistic hopes on there's always

96
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,520
star citizen

97
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,080
did you get it back you should ask for a refund it will

98
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:51,120
eventually it's the new stonk there's no more

99
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:53,759
stories man that's it

100
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:59,199
okay fine but we'll be back on friday for more tech news but that's the last

101
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:04,480
time we're gonna keep making i don't know where you came up with that i said
