00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,600
happy Christmas Eve to our differently time zone friends and also anytime

2
00:00:04,140 --> 00:00:10,559
Travelers please don't give out any next week's spoilers in the comments I've

3
00:00:08,099 --> 00:00:17,460
been waiting years to live through this there's a whole backstory to this

4
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:20,039
AMD's RX 7900 XTX reference cards are

5
00:00:17,460 --> 00:00:24,119
really hot oh yeah not not like that some AMD reference models of the

6
00:00:22,020 --> 00:00:27,960
flagship GPU are experiencing hot spots of 110 degrees Celsius causing

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:33,059
throttling when the average temperature of the GPU is over 50 degrees lower

8
00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:38,160
importantly partner cards don't have this issue so the fault seems to fall

9
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:41,760
squarely on AMD and they just patched an

10
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:43,739
issue with both the 7900 XTX and XT that

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:47,640
caused massive power draw when watching videos or idling with a multi-monitor

12
00:00:45,899 --> 00:00:52,559
setup or hell even just moving Windows around just want to use my computer

13
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:57,539
hey AMD uh when we said we wanted your cars to be more like in videos we did

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:01,379
mean we wanted them to melt because the other thing's happening they're too hot

15
00:00:59,340 --> 00:01:05,640
according to Hardware Lux who originally broke the story the issue may be uneven

16
00:01:03,660 --> 00:01:10,380
contact pressure between the board and cooler which could be exacerbated by the

17
00:01:08,220 --> 00:01:15,119
chiplet design of the GPU since each chiplet needs its own contact Point AMD

18
00:01:13,260 --> 00:01:19,320
has confirmed they are investigating the issue and they don't have the best

19
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:23,420
reputation for implementing quick fixes but you can expect findings

20
00:01:23,780 --> 00:01:32,299
Kickstarter has suspended the successful fundraiser for an AI art Enthusiast

21
00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:35,759
group unstable diffusion

22
00:01:32,299 --> 00:01:38,759
a group promising AI art powered by the

23
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:41,100
crowd now has no way of accessing the 56

24
00:01:38,759 --> 00:01:45,780
thousand dollars they raised in under 24 hours okay that sounds kind of

25
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:48,960
impressive Until you realize they were just trying to make an ai-powered porn

26
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:53,640
generator yeah yeah unstable diffusion States they just

27
00:01:51,659 --> 00:01:57,659
want to create a reversal of the censorship of stable diffusion what that

28
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:02,460
means in practice according to their Kickstarter page is a promise of an

29
00:01:59,820 --> 00:02:07,500
expressive and dynamic AI model that can better handle human anatomy and that

30
00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:14,900
don't worry they'll exclude all children from their data sets to prevent abuse

31
00:02:10,259 --> 00:02:14,900
that's so big of them nice job guys

32
00:02:15,180 --> 00:02:20,700
you know we didn't have to do it yeah yeah you did actually in a statement

33
00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:24,900
Kickstarter said that they suspended the fundraiser due to concerns the project

34
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:29,640
would use others work without consent unstable diffusion CEO has claimed

35
00:02:27,660 --> 00:02:33,239
they've been targeted by false reports to silence them probably complaining

36
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:37,200
about their Kickstarter blatantly stating that they would be using other

37
00:02:35,099 --> 00:02:40,200
people's work or something I might have something to do with that

38
00:02:38,340 --> 00:02:43,860
how dare people lie about them by stating exactly what they said that's

39
00:02:42,180 --> 00:02:48,480
cheating yeah hey I can't use my own words against me

40
00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:52,200
and Europe might just bring back user replaceable batteries a regulatory

41
00:02:50,519 --> 00:02:56,340
proposal which has reached provisional agreement in the EU would require all

42
00:02:54,239 --> 00:02:59,819
batteries sold in the EU to be easier to remove and replace this would include

43
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:05,700
not just phone batteries but even electric vehicle batteries among others

44
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:07,519
yes they really mean all batteries but

45
00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:14,040
no assaults no laugh laugh now

46
00:03:11,940 --> 00:03:18,900
not only that but they want to increase collection of

47
00:03:15,959 --> 00:03:22,379
portable batteries to 73 percent by 2030 and that many batteries such as EV

48
00:03:20,819 --> 00:03:26,640
batteries or batteries for starting lighting or the ignition of vehicles

49
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:30,720
inside the engine I'm only that I'm assuming must be collected free of

50
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:35,220
charge for end users regardless of the nature condition chemical composition or

51
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:38,700
origin of them and the European commission wishes to assess whether

52
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:42,780
non-rechargeable portable batteries should be phased out of General use

53
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:46,640
within the next decade man why does Europe get all the best stuff they have

54
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,640
chocolate

55
00:03:48,980 --> 00:03:55,860
they have Central regulations to fight for consumers while also reducing

56
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:59,220
E-Waste and they have waffles seriously though if this agreement is formally

57
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:04,379
approved by the European Parliament and Council this could be a massive win not

58
00:04:01,620 --> 00:04:08,879
just for consumers but also the planet maybe we won't need Mars So Much Anymore

59
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:12,420
get rid of it we just blow it up now it's time for quick bits brought to you

bezy.com techlinked I had to do those I have to do this

68
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:51,300
hey here's some quick ASMR to get us into the quick bits

69
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:55,919
renders alleged to be of an upcoming RTX Titan graphics card have been leaked by

70
00:04:53,400 --> 00:05:00,600
YouTube channel Moore's Law is dead the renders show a card that has two 12 volt

71
00:04:58,620 --> 00:05:05,940
high power connectors and would take up a full four PCIe slots now the most

72
00:05:04,259 --> 00:05:10,380
shocking fact about these renders is that I'm considering believing them just

73
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:14,820
because of the 4090s size but Moore's Law is dead claims the renders are

74
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:18,660
actually photographs of products in the YouTuber's possession but then why show

75
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:24,240
the renders he could just be shy I feel like it's

76
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:26,400
not real the art platform art station is

77
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:30,960
starting to remove anti-ai art images from its home page art station users

78
00:05:29,580 --> 00:05:35,100
have been protesting the recent appearance of AI generated art on the

79
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:39,479
platform by posting images and art station is now hiding these images

80
00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:45,180
claiming they violate the terms of service but the AI generated images

81
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:47,460
those don't at all how well they haven't

82
00:05:45,180 --> 00:05:51,180
been specific they could be enforcing the spam and other bulk messages claws

83
00:05:49,620 --> 00:05:58,080
or maybe they haven't come up with the right as opposed to Mr Claus

84
00:05:54,600 --> 00:06:00,000
meta will pay 725 million dollars to U.S

85
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:03,900
users an amount agreed upon during settlement for the Cambridge analytica

86
00:06:01,979 --> 00:06:07,919
Scandal for background Cambridge analytica was allowed to access 87

87
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:13,380
million Facebook users data without their consent in 2018. the class action

88
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:18,539
covers 280 million users of the platform so get ready to take your share of the

89
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:23,940
settlement and get yourself a nice big gumball you earned it sport France has

90
00:06:21,539 --> 00:06:28,199
hit Microsoft with a 60 million euro fine for placing ad cookies on users

91
00:06:26,220 --> 00:06:31,800
devices without consent specifically French Regulators said that these

92
00:06:29,940 --> 00:06:35,880
cookies were deposited on the machines when consumers visited the search engine

93
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:40,319
Bing and the French really care about health

94
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:43,259
they didn't even put milk in no cookies

95
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:45,960
no no cookies man that one French person who accidentally clicked on edge instead

96
00:06:45,060 --> 00:06:50,100
of Chrome must have been really upset

97
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:57,419
and Elon jet has made a triumphant return to Twitter sort of Jack Sweeney

98
00:06:55,319 --> 00:07:02,819
the creator of the original jet tracking bot is now manually running the Elon jet

99
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:07,620
next day Twitter account where he posts the comings and goings of elon's jet

100
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:10,800
with a 24-hour DeLay So as so as not to

101
00:07:07,620 --> 00:07:14,220
break the real-time doxing rule

102
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:16,139
we're almost one step behind 120 000 IQ

103
00:07:14,220 --> 00:07:20,039
now if that isn't fast enough for you you can always head over to Mastodon and

104
00:07:18,060 --> 00:07:24,419
enjoy the taste of Elon jet classic Twitter just can't compete anymore but

105
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:28,560
at least it's not on Twitter and you can enjoy more Tech news on Monday when we
