i'ma let you in on something we love tech news so much that we even used
technology to make this news show what is this voice
Intel made a big deal last week about the fact that it was launching its arc
mobile gpus and well they weren't technically lying but
it turns out that the only market they actually launched in was south korea and
in one laptop model the samsung galaxy book
2 pro good laptop i mean i get it you know
you thought Intel was launch launching arc gpus
you were confused what an idiot
this was just a little launch with a small l
Intel tweeted the clarification in response to a user asking if they can
you know buy one of those things that apparently launched last week adding
that laptops with Intel arc will be available for purchase by the end of q2
so uh late june accordingly one of the only other models
with arc configurations the acer swift x has had its release delayed from the
previously announced date of may 22nd all i can say is you better get those
gpus out to the rest of the world soon Intel because gamers don't take kindly
to broken promises and they can be very intimidating
dangerous david epic games has partnered with that
famous maker of easily breakable toys lego to build pun intended a special
section of the metaverse just for kids a plan that could end up with no
horrible consequences whatsoever the two companies haven't exactly
fleshed out what this will look like but they did confirm that they'd have three
principles in mind ensuring children's safety and well-being protecting
children's privacy and profiting lots and lots off of the wallets that adults
will be using to pay for this wholesome content sorry no number three uh adult
tools to give them control over the digital experience of their children
those are all the things that you would expect them to say but if roblox set the
bar for a children's game centered on building myriad virtual worlds well it
shouldn't be too hard for epic and lego to exceed that it just has to be not a
scam based on exploiting young developers
and in other partnership news google is the latest tech giant to announce that
it is jumping on to the ifixit bandwagon
now i know bandwagoning has a negative connotation but to be clear
we support this move google will provide slash allow ifixit
to sell genuine parts for all pixel phones from the pixel 2 onwards and i
fix it will also provide enhanced repair guides for said phones so does this mean
pixel owners can finally repair those camera modules that have been straight
up broken for years with no conceivable way to fix it other than to mail it to
google to fix themselves i certainly hope so my freaking pixel 3 has been
broken for like a year and a half wow you did it lewis

you got to let your butt clocks cool on the countertop before you enjoy them and
not so fast they'll burn your mouth canada was jealous when other countries
bullied tech giants into paying news publishers so our government has
introduced new legislation bill c-18 which will force platforms like facebook
or twitter to pay news outlets every time a user posts a newslink some
similar bills in australia and europe were dropped after google and facebook
made deals with news conglomerates to pay for including content in those
companies official news services so hopefully canada makes a similar deal
