uh you came here because you want Tech
news and I know that and that's why I have that ready uh
for I have it ready for you right here it's just um just one second Apple
doesn't want to allow iPhone users to install apps from outside of the App
Store AKA side loading but according to Mark GMS together strong German the
company looks like it's doing the tech giant equivalent of gritting its teeth
and wincing in anticipation of getting a very pain Full temporary tattoo see the
eu's digital Market act requires gatekeeper companies like Google and
apple to open up their software ecosystems by March 2024 the German
Financial filings from Apple as well as code found in the iOS 17.2 beta all
point to Apple preparing to allow side loading on iPhones before that deadline
so in the next few months however unlike their rollout of USBC on iPhones which
also happened because of EU pressure side loing may only be allowed in the EU
itself but while apple is preparing to do the unthinkable letting their users
decide something for themselves the
trillion dooll company is reportedly also quietly cooking up a Hail Mary in
the form of several appeals challenging the eu's decision to label the iOS app
store and iMessage as gatekeeper Services Apple doesn't think of itself
as gatekeeping anything and if they are it's more like a girl boss Gaslight
situation like wow yes Queen constructive criticism isn't real anyway
get ready to provide a whole new level of tech support for your iPhone using
friends in other Apple news concerns over the company's decision to limit the
base model M3 MacBook Pro to 8 GB of RAM
sorry unified memory have been somewhat
validated according to YouTuber Max Tech he put an 8 GB and a 16 GB M3 MacBook
Pro head-to-head and found that unsurprising to nearly everyone the 16
GB laptop enjoys a sizable performance boost over the 8 GB model exporting
photos and videos as much as three times faster despite only having two times the
remembering power now enthusiasts only got more upset about Apple's decision to
underere equip the base model MacBook Pro after the company's VP of worldwide
marketing Bob borers totally borked himself by telling Billy Billy Creator
ly y sure that 8 GB of RAM on the M3 MacBook
Pro is analogous to 16 GB on other
systems now you can acknowledge that Apple's software and Hardware
optimization is high art while also being glad you weren't drinking some
delicious 2% milk when you heard borch's claim because I changed my pants enough
times in one day okay but hey at least
Apple used two separate nand modules for the storage this time not because people
asked for that they they don't care Intel has been
waiting its turn to be called out for some nonsense so thank goodness that MSI
released a BIOS update for its z790 motherboards that enables support for
the incredibly generic sounding Intel application optimization feature or APO
the feature is actually pretty cool Hardware unbox did some testing with
their now updated MSI boards and credited APO as a fix for the way
Intel's efficiency cores or ecores handle gaming but despite sounding like
something that should work on pretty much any Intel chip with efficiency
cores like the 12th and 13th gen lineups
APO only works on select 14th gen core
processors and when Hub asked Intel
what's the deal with that Intel gave a bone chillingly corporate response Intel
has no plans to support prior generation products with application optimization
hello I'm a human being I have feelings
beep boop Hardware unboxed also Al asked Intel if they plan to support more than
the only two games that work with APO right now Metro Exodus and Rainbow Six
Siege to Which Intel replied yeah probably you got now it's
time for quick bits brought to you by gcore cloud provider of cloud services
the core of any modern business that's G
good they didn't tell me to say that blame me for that one we're talking
managed platform services on exclusive bare metal servers and Ai ipu and GPU
infrastructure their ual machines start at just €320 per month less than many
Europeans spend daily on artisanal cheeses with gcore you can always expect
low latency and high performance on the latest Hardware at a great price with no
hidden fees or artisanal cheeses which is fine it can really Gunk up the server
fans to learn more about gcore click the link below quick bits man they are
they're so cool I'm in a rush today I didn't have time to think of something amazing okay well NVIDIA has announced
the h200 an upgraded version of the h100
G GPU which is so in demand for running AI right now that the US's dollar value
might get Tethered to it soon the h200 specs appear to be largely similar to
the h100s except for the memory which is upgraded from hbm3 to hbm 3E boosting
memory bandwidth clocks and capacity the h100 had 80 GB of vram while the h200
has 141 think about all the things you
could do with that like emulate 8.88 GB
M3 MacBook Pro yeah you're going to do the math RTX
490s are still pouring into repair shops with melted power plugs more than a year
after problems with the card's 12volt high power connector were first reported
according to Alex from Northridge fix on YouTube he says his repair shop still
gets about 20 to 25 490s in per week
proving once and for all that the 490 owners just didn't plug them in right
guys you got to push it all the way in it's your fault thankfully PCI Sig has
now redesigned the connector so hopefully future generations of
financially questionable decision makers won't endure the suffering you have it's
not actually your fault I was joking stop writing that comment Australia's
ports are reopening after being shut down by a massive Cyber attack 3 days
ago according to DP World Australia which is not related to what you're
thinking of it's actually the country's biggest ports operator which still
sounds damn it look the Cyber attack caused huge delays and congestion and
some data was apparently stolen by The perpetrators Who are believed to be
foreign State actors but I reckon they should see whether the front fell off
widely reported issues with SanDisk Extreme Pro ssds are the result of
hardware issues unfixable by any firmware update according to data
recovery company a Tingo their managing director told futur Zone that some of
the components SanDisk used are too big for their circuit boards leading to
unstable connections which caused some components to pop off the board for
entirely and not in a good way I would be shocked and appalled by this if I
didn't remember that SanDisk is owned by Western Digital and Tesla's order
agreement for the Cyber truck forbids owners from selling the polygonal
vehicle for one year after it's delivered unless you tell Tesla you want
to sell it and give them a chance to buy it back from you if they don't want to
buy it back they might give you written permission to sell it to a third party
like a hall pass but for basic economic rights if you violate this or any other
provision in the agreement Tesla says they may locate and disable the vehicle
electronically and really I mean this should all make sense if you bought a
cyber truck it's not a normal truck it's
it's ugly but you're beautiful inside and out and that's why I know you're
going to come back on Wednesday for more Tech news it's just who you are you know
we love you for that please
