00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:08.080
hey guys welcome back been keeping some tech news nice and warm for you come on

00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:13.280
where were you keeping it warm that's not important if you want to make

00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:15.280
your gtx graphics card run a little warm

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:19.439
you can install the latest driver and try and run ray tracing yep after

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:24.320
promising they do so NVIDIA has enabled support for rtx features in last gen

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:29.920
pascal cards anything higher tier than the six gig version of the gtx 1060 and

00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:34.480
the gtx 1660 will be able to try their hand at ray tracing despite their lack

00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:37.840
of dedicated rtx hardware NVIDIA has released some benchmark numbers

00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:42.640
alongside the driver which shows that while a 1080 ti might get you somewhat

00:00:40.559 --> 00:00:48.719
playable frame rates using medium ray tracing settings as a whole rtx on older

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:53.680
cards is not super recommended what NVIDIA recommends is buying an rtx card

00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:57.039
yeah i think that should get you the best graphics and probably make you

00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:01.440
better at games and get more kills in the popular battle royale game yeah that

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

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

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:15.840

00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:45.439

that disney went and made their own service pixar marvel disney plus new tv shows

00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:57.040
for those franchises and a ton of backlog to delve into riley it's seven

00:01:54.479 --> 00:02:02.240

five please facebook are you dumb

00:04:00.799 --> 00:04:08.239
seriously facebook has just been awarded a patent for a system that would use ai

00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:12.879
to collect users photos that contained commercial products and sell them to

00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:16.079
companies to use an ads on facebook so if you had a photo of yourself drinking

00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:20.799
a coke facebook would offer that photo to coca-cola who would pay facebook to

00:04:18.799 --> 00:04:24.639
promote it as sponsored content this isn't an actual feature yet but just is

00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:28.720
it a bad sign that this kind of thing just does not surprise me anymore when

00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:32.560
will you learn when will you stop it japanese tech company sharp has shown

00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:37.600

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

00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:53.759
folding phone prototype that folds down to half smartphone size instead of

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:56.880
folding out to tablet size like those motorola

00:04:54.880 --> 00:05:01.199
razer reboot patents we saw a while back after spacex did successfully launch and

00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:04.880
retrieve the three separate boost stages of the falcon heavy that happened

00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:09.600
yesterday they delayed it nasa has decided to work with the company on the

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:11.199
double asteroid redirection test or dart

00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:15.600
it's a mission intended to launch a spacecraft at the near-earth asteroid

00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:19.600
didimos as a trial run for defending earth from potential asteroids on a

00:05:17.280 --> 00:05:23.919
collision course the mission is set for 2022 so hopefully bruce willis has a gap

00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:28.479
in his schedule or i doubt this will work speaking of space space ill and

00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:33.120
israeli space flight startup has announced that their bereshit spacecraft

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

00:05:35.919 --> 00:05:41.919
meters per second after its main engine failed the project

00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:46.479
was built on a shoestring budget of 100 million dollars a small budget of 100

00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:50.400
million and was an attempt to win google's lunar x prize which they

00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:54.960
apparently qualified for despite the crash google gave them one million bucks

00:05:53.280 --> 00:06:00.639
sorry your lander crashed here's one million dollars and researchers at mit have developed

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

00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:09.680
different categories hey that's pretty good huh james james loves recycling

00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:14.639
rose cycle can sort things with 85 accuracy when objects are stationary but

00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:19.120
63 accuracy when objects are moving like on a conveyor belt way better than

00:06:15.919 --> 00:06:21.039
people is it oh so they got some work to

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

00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:29.199
be recycled ooh the irony and that's it for this episode

00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:32.400
of tech link guys thanks for watching we'll see you back here on monday for

00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:36.080
more tech news unless you have other plans which is fine but you can watch

00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:40.000
