1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:08,080
hey guys welcome back been keeping some tech news nice and warm for you come on

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:13,280
where were you keeping it warm that's not important if you want to make

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:15,280
your gtx graphics card run a little warm

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:19,439
you can install the latest driver and try and run ray tracing yep after

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:24,320
promising they do so NVIDIA has enabled support for rtx features in last gen

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:29,920
pascal cards anything higher tier than the six gig version of the gtx 1060 and

7
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:34,480
the gtx 1660 will be able to try their hand at ray tracing despite their lack

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,840
of dedicated rtx hardware NVIDIA has released some benchmark numbers

9
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:42,640
alongside the driver which shows that while a 1080 ti might get you somewhat

10
00:00:40,559 --> 00:00:48,719
playable frame rates using medium ray tracing settings as a whole rtx on older

11
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:53,680
cards is not super recommended what NVIDIA recommends is buying an rtx card

12
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:57,039
yeah i think that should get you the best graphics and probably make you

13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:01,440
better at games and get more kills in the popular battle royale game yeah that

14
00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:05,360
should do it oh it happens to cost more too yes oh yeah but that's just what you

15
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:10,840
need if you want to test it out for yourself and don't have a game that supports rtx you can download NVIDIA's

16
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:15,840
star wars based demo for free speaking of star wars what well

five please facebook are you dumb

53
00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:08,239
seriously facebook has just been awarded a patent for a system that would use ai

54
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:12,879
to collect users photos that contained commercial products and sell them to

55
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:16,079
companies to use an ads on facebook so if you had a photo of yourself drinking

56
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:20,799
a coke facebook would offer that photo to coca-cola who would pay facebook to

57
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:24,639
promote it as sponsored content this isn't an actual feature yet but just is

58
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,720

display with a 120 hertz refresh rate

63
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:46,080
and it's not even a prototype either this will be a commercial aio you can

64
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:49,919
buy i don't know what kind of GPU it's running but geez sharp also showed off a

65
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,759
folding phone prototype that folds down to half smartphone size instead of

66
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,880
folding out to tablet size like those motorola

67
00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:01,199
razer reboot patents we saw a while back after spacex did successfully launch and

68
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:04,880
retrieve the three separate boost stages of the falcon heavy that happened

69
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:09,600
yesterday they delayed it nasa has decided to work with the company on the

70
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,199
double asteroid redirection test or dart

71
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:15,600
it's a mission intended to launch a spacecraft at the near-earth asteroid

72
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:19,600
didimos as a trial run for defending earth from potential asteroids on a

73
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:23,919
collision course the mission is set for 2022 so hopefully bruce willis has a gap

74
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:28,479
in his schedule or i doubt this will work speaking of space space ill and

75
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:33,120
israeli space flight startup has announced that their bereshit spacecraft

76
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:37,440
has failed to make a soft landing on the moon and instead crashed into it at 130

77
00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:41,919
meters per second after its main engine failed the project

78
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:46,479
was built on a shoestring budget of 100 million dollars a small budget of 100

79
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:50,400
million and was an attempt to win google's lunar x prize which they

80
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:54,960
apparently qualified for despite the crash google gave them one million bucks

81
00:05:53,280 --> 00:06:00,639
sorry your lander crashed here's one million dollars and researchers at mit have developed

82
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:04,160
row cycle a robot with a sense of touch that it will use to sort recycling into

83
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:09,680
different categories hey that's pretty good huh james james loves recycling

84
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:14,639
rose cycle can sort things with 85 accuracy when objects are stationary but

85
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:19,120
63 accuracy when objects are moving like on a conveyor belt way better than

86
00:06:15,919 --> 00:06:21,039
people is it oh so they got some work to

87
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,560
do to get the bot ready for prime time and if they can't do that then it will

88
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:29,199
be recycled ooh the irony and that's it for this episode

89
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:32,400
of tech link guys thanks for watching we'll see you back here on monday for
