are you ready tech news troopers activate quantum crystals now
in the latest development of the epic games versus apple saga a us district
court judge has sided with apple they've
also sided with epic yeah the judge blocked apple from removing developers
access to update versions of unreal engine which cupertino had threatened to
do last week but the judge also upheld apple's decision to remove fortnite from
the app store making this ruling essentially the equivalent of separating
kids currently in the middle of a floppy hand slap fight now they're gonna have
to use their words with the iOS and mac versions of fortnite unable to receive
updates the game is effectively about to be split into two versions the one with
access to the new marvel themed season and the one who's having a timeout in
the corner to think about what it's done when that happens it won't matter if you
paid ten thousand dollars on ebay for an iphone with fortnite pre-installed
you'll be locked out time to get mad fortnite fans get angry sure maybe you
are being used by epic as a pawn in its quest for more and more money but dang
it them skins sure are shiny and they're my skins speaking of shiny NVIDIA is
continuing its long slow tease of its upcoming
ampere-powered graphics cards with a video focused on designing their coolers
see it turns out that processors put out a lot of heat and heat sinks are
important to keep them cool kids wow but hidden among the sort of bland info dump
were a couple of teases of the rtx 3090 design that we've already seen so it
looks like the design leaks are accurate or they were accurate they're still
accurate whatever and of course they are because NVIDIA leaked them yeah NVIDIA
we know but those leaks are still coming with the latest ones seemingly
confirming that weird vertical 12 pin power connector as well as the amount of
RAM found in the rtx 3090 24 gigabytes baby
now if all this talk about high-end graphics has caused an ache in your
wallet there's a low end leak for you too the GeForce mx450 was teased on
NVIDIA's site i'm sure that one will be really
it'll be great it'll be really approachable and facebook has some
freaking nerve man it's complete absorption of not only the brand but
also the very idea of oculus as a company
continues oculus connect the vr company's yearly conference has been
renamed to facebook connect it's like an ego thing you know and facebook reality
Labs which had previously only absorbed the research division of oculus now
appears to be the new name for oculus entire ar and vr divisions so it appears
that oculus as a brand may not even exist for that much longer which i'm not
even sure is a savvy move how many people are gonna buy a facebook quest
meanwhile facebook is attempting to continue its domination of the internet
elsewhere with a dedicated shopping cart rolling out to instagram through which
users can make direct purchases
instagram oculus do not speak of these
heresies there is only facebook boomer book now

at a trio of wacky new phones turns out that lg's wing prototype with rotating
dual displays is real as shown in a leaked video unboxings of microsoft's
dual screen surface duo are also hitting the web to mostly positive acclaim and
ASUS added a third camera to the swiveling pop-up module of their zenfone
7 pro it's a great time for weird phones
2020 is like the portland of phones all those rumors about an upgraded nintendo
switch may actually come to fruition next year with a number of insider
reports claiming that the company will release a model with a 4k screen as
early as q1 2021 that's not that far and
i mean that would be great but the switch did just fine with a 720p screen
maybe just take it easy on this one and do 1080p nintendo nobody wants another
wii u canada has effectively blocked huawei
from its 5g networks by not explicitly blocking them the ministry of innovation
science and industry said they would not comment on a huawei ban
and have not said when they would make a comment forcing network providers to
hold off on going with huawei yep in true canadian fashion we have avoided
making a decision that could offend some people by simply
not making a decision no conflict it's much easier this way i'll still
apologize though and researchers from cornell university have shown off a tiny
robot only 70 microns long can i even do that with my fingers and 5 microns thick
meaning with its laser-powered locomotion it could travel anywhere in
your body and i do mean everywhere the bots are ways off from
practical usage but you might want to keep an eye on their development if you've always wanted to carry around
little friends in your blood not creepy at all only a matter of time before this
is sexualized and it would be creepy to continue this episode so it's over come
back on friday for more tech news feel free to deactivate your quantum crystals
now and plug them into your quantum charger probably overnight they could
start a fire though so don't leave them too long
