Jake get out of here dang it we're trying to do the tech news
is this the tech news AMD is freaking killing it right now and the launch of
their latest epic 7002 roam server processors is only continuing their
winning streak that sounded way too fanboyish they're
doing okay i guess if you can call twice their
performance per socket compared to Intel's entire xeon platinum range
just okay performance numbers across the board show the new epic rome processors
absolutely slaying Intel's second gen
xeon scalable chips which launched just four months ago the new parts have been
picked up by a ton of major cloud players including google cloud microsoft
azure dell lenovo and twitter Intel's ice lake server parts are slated to
arrive next year but right now if AMD
made an epic game store i'd buy everything on it baby
everything off the shelf it's a great analogy huawei has finally
taken the wraps off their homemade open sourced operating system it's called
harmony os and beyond being more salient for english speakers the name can also
sound like harmonious if you say it really fast harmony os
that's nice anyways huawei says the new os is not meant as a replacement for
Android at least for now it will debut in non-smartphone devices first like
smart watches in-vehicle systems and tvs
i guess i guess that's fair that said the company says it will be very easy to
make small changes to Android apps so they can run on harmony
that's it i hope so according to huawei the new os is micro kernel based like
google's currently in developed fuchsia os but unlike fuchsia harmony uses a
modular design that allows it to adapt to any device
so if you're wondering whether huawei wouldn't be able to control our phones
and computers when they hack our systems don't worry it'll be easy
who writes this propaganda and a couple things flew under the radar
after samsung's unpacked event on wednesday one of them being samsung's
very own game streaming app it's called
play galaxy link that sounds like an amalgam of every other company's
products what anyways it'll let you stream games from your pc to your galaxy
note 10 which by the way makes for a pretty decent gaming handheld when
combined with a controller attachment of course there are other ways to do this
already so it's a bit unclear why samsung would make this other than just
to get in on the streaming party since google stadia and microsoft project
xcloud are making it so darn cool
the other extra detail from unpacked was the fact that the galaxy book s runs off
a snapdragon 8cx and will be the first
Windows 10 ARM device to launch using the new processor
very staccato it's expected to be comparable to an Intel core i5 in
performance but we'll put that to the test ourselves when it launches i can't
wait to use all two of its ports at least it has a headphone jack
that's already 50 awesome ports wise
now it's time for the quick vince
get down now it's time for the quick bread it's brought to you by drop and the sennheiser pc37x
gaming headset it's angled drivers are from the same family as the well-known
hd598 and hd600 headphones for fantastic
sound quality featuring an open back design and noise cancelling microphone
it offers great stereo imaging and locational accuracy
join the drop today at the link below i like my accuracy to be locational look
if you don't want the quick bits just say so but we're doing them anyway
facebook is reportedly talking with news publishers about licensing their content
to publish under a new tab on facebook's site the company is looking to pay as
much as 3 million dollars a year to outlets like abc news the washington
post and bloomberg the move is probably partially designed
to relieve pressure on facebook for its role in distributing fake news and not
because facebook feels bad although
they probably should feel bad
shame on you zuck apple should also feel bad about the fact that a recent iOS
update now tells users who replace their own iphone battery that it's a degraded
battery and needs replacement even when it works
just fine as lewis rossman points out the battery will still function just
fine but users will receive vague errors about their battery health and while you
and i can live with that auntie carol is gonna think she needs to
take it out on you because you're the tech person and you
fix everything and you take it to the genius bar four and you pay a fortune
and dang it carol
so now we found out that every smartphone speaker owned by the big tech
giants is secretly recording our conversations and having them reviewed
by humans and that sucks how to move on
the answer might be an open source ai assistant like mycroft which sounds like
microsoft said very quickly but isn't mycroft makes sure that all the data
submitted for its development is opt-in i mean it was nice of google and amazon
to get us here but they've shown us they can't play fair so
it's time to go sit in the corner and give someone else a turn you know go on
five minutes a company named human things has developed the genki a covert
dock for the nintendo switch in the form of a wall plug with usb-c
usb-a and an HDMI port built in so it's
less of a dock and more of a plug but hopefully it performs as advertised
because the world of third-party switch accessories is kind of iffy it's blown
past its funding goal on kickstarter which means pro tip you don't have to
support it just wait to see if other people get screwed
never pre-order guys kickstarter is another name for pre-order and security researcher
vishuli krevitz has disclosed a zero-day
vulnerability in the Windows client for steam which could let anyone run code
with elevated system privileges that's not a good thing as ours technical
points out a malicious developer could potentially create a game that takes
advantage of the x-play valve has not responded to the issue yet and
valve we know you're really busy making money off hats and stuff right now could
you please just make maybe take a look at this thanks
and also make good games again you cowards tell them
all right that's enough of this nonsense come back on monday for more tech news
you gotta stay informed or else how will you know when the alien robots invade i
feel like it'll be pretty obvious these cheerios are made of metal
robots love metal
