okay I know what you're thinking how do you come up with all this Tech news so
quickly but the real question you should be asking is how does Riley know what
I'm thinking it's a curse apple is wrapping up
development of their mixed reality headset and is on track to launch the
device sometime in 2023 according to Bloomberg's Mark German a soothsayer
with a mysterious connection to the Unseen World the girl man reports that
apple is continuing to hire people to create content for the device which may
be called either the reality Pro or
reality one when you take it off you'll be in reality too this one is not as
important apple is specifically hiring developers to create a 3D mixed reality
world oh that sounds like a metaverse
but see Meta and the entire internet have unfortunately made that word
unbearably cringe which may be why Apple's marketing Chief said metaverse
is a word I'll never use that's probably
bad news for meta who is really banking on everyone saying metaverse a lot I'm
sorry Mark reality one is probably gonna come with an apple one subscription out
of the box and legs no USBC though
Amazon will reportedly be firing 10 000
workers starting this week because all the other Tech Giants are doing it and
the company doesn't want to be left out layoffs are so trendy right now it's a
Tick-Tock thing seems strange for the massive e-tailer to cut jobs right
before the holidays but the job Cuts will actually focus on Amazon's devices
group accounting for about three percent of its corporate Workforce and last
month Amazon said it would hire a hundred and fifty thousand operations
workers so everybody can ship themselves last minute novelty mugs for their dad
who's super hard to buy for what does he want an LTD Screwdriver from ttstore.com
what was that we don't do that I don't it just came out naturally
still the job Cuts don't look great for Amazon which is probably why happy
Voldemort also announced today that he plans to give away the majority of his
fortune to charity but figuring out how to do it is really hard uh hey here's
maybe an idea a start by paying your hourly workers more I just
just hey speaking of money remember cryptocurrency
oof wow so last week one of the world's largest
crypto exchanges FTX collapsed partially because of its founder Sam bankman freed
using ftx's own fft coin as collateral
for loans under a hedge fund he owned called Alameda research you know I don't
see what the big problem is there that sounds like something I'd do
that was a joke scared users withdrew around 135 billion dollars worth of
bitcoin after the collapse and binance another major crypto exchange and FDX
Frenemy offered to buy them out before backing out instead collateral damage
was felt by other cryptocurrencies like Solana which is teetering on the brink
of collapse it's rev out there right now leaders from binance and crypto.com
hosted amas to assure everyone that they're fine everything's fine but the
whole situation has drawn even more attention from U.S Regulators obviously
we do need to lay down some rules for this new technology but as Jeff gearling
points out it was always a little weird that people got really hyped up for
decentralized money and then put it all in centralized exchanges that could get
hacked and fail uh never mind the guy that proposed to his girlfriend with
nfts I'm not even gonna we're just I'm not even gonna we can just leave that

continues with the news that 4 400 contract workers primarily from the
content moderation Department were unceremoniously laid off over the
weekend but you have to admit I mean it was pretty funny Elon just doesn't care
I I love that about him you can add Android developer Eric phone Hofer to
the list of x-tweeps after he corrected Elon with a retweet Elon then fired him
via tweet after responding to a U.S senator's concerns about the ease with
which his account was impersonated by saying your real account sounds like a
parody I wish I had enough crying laughing emojis to convey just how funny
Elon ramming this website into the ground is it's it's it's a great
everyone's having a great time an early review of the RTX 4080 the 16 Gigabyte
model there's only one now has been posted by a Billy Billy Creator called
Big Hardware player and while he never showed the card his numbers say it's
about 19 faster than an RTX 3090 TI okay
but hold on it says AMD who published a number of slides comparing the RTX 4080
to their upcoming RX 7900 XT and XTX
which has more RAM wider bus widths and most importantly a power connector that
will probably not melt look AMD uh people are gonna buy the
4080 regardless okay you didn't have to make the slides they're nice slides the
good job on the slides Igor's lab has a
Teensy bit more information about the melting 12 volt high power connector
Saga NVIDIA apparently told Igor that the power adapters are made by two
different companies Astron and ntk astron's version is apparently more
prone to failure due to its use of double slot spring contacts Igor details
