J James introduce me and here's your host our good friend Riley Tech hey what
That's Not My Name the people's names aren't just their first names and then the company they work for what what when
the switch came out there were a few rumors about Nintendo developing VR
attachments for the portable console but since the switch has a 720p screen no
one really took them that seriously well apparently Nintendo did the company has
unveiled the Nintendo labo VR kit which which is basically a Google cardboard
headset with a number of fun attachments there's a gun camera and an elephant
face and you can even put your face in a bird's butt just to see what it's like
have you seen this I was trying to think of
something you don't know what I'm talking about I can't imagine that this
makes for a super immersive virtual reality experience but hey people
thought the whole labo concept was a little silly when it came out but then
it turned out to be pretty cool for kids and at 40 bucks for the starter set and
80 for the complete kit it's less than some Lego sets and you might even avoid
headaches and nausea if you only use it for 10 minutes at a time sign me
up NVIDIA really wants you to buy more expensive gaming Hardware but not just
because they want more money because science wow sounds convincing please go
on okay I will okay NVIDIA published a
study comparing Gamers kill death ratios in games to the power of their graph
graphics card and monitor and concluded that Gamers with higher-end graphics
cards like the RTX 2080 TI and monitors that support refresh rates of 144 Hertz
or more have higher KD ratios uh-huh so
having higher-end Hardware will give you an advantage in Battle Royale games and
the like you think Sherlock the problem here is that NVIDIA is sort of
insinuating without saying it outright that buying more expensive Hardware will
make you better at games without really acknowledging that people who play more
games are probably more likely to a be better at them already and B buy better
Hardware now they did try to address this with a graph that shows that even
when Gamers play the same number of hours per week those with GTX 1080 TI
did better than those with GTX 1050 TI
except that still only describes a correlation not causation James no
that's basic come on measuring Gamers KD
ratios before and after they switch from a 60 HZ to a 100 44 HZ monitor that
could have worked you know what they should have just gone with something like cool Gamers choose the RTX 2080 TI
oo now that's fresh L Cool GPU and
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has published a statement detailing
Facebook's vision for transitioning into a privacy focused platform despite the
fact that they are Facebook Zuckerberg says privacy is a big reason Facebook is
integrating and encrypting the messaging services of messenger Instagram and
WhatsApp but this move to tie the the company services together comes at the
same time that politicians in the US are starting to talk about breaking Facebook
up and doing the same to other Tech giants like Amazon and Google the
argument is that these companies have managed to secure monopolies on multiple
online platforms and to protect consumers it might be necessary to
reverse mergers like Amazon's acquisition of Whole Foods and
Facebook's purchase of Instagram I'm not saying this this is what people are
saying settle down until they sort all
that out I say we all just hang out on Twitter they're not making any money so
they're not monopolizing anything except limited character count hot
takes it's time for quick bits brought to you by seic these guys have been
making power supplies for longer than most of YouTube's audience have been
alive so trust me they know what they're doing and power supplies are the heart
of your PC so you want to make sure you get an efficient unit with solid
performance also they look pretty cool in this video we're showing always a
plus bottom line guys if you need a power supply for your new build or
replacement or upgrade you better make it see Sonic if you're a smart person
check them out at the link below you know what I could use right about now James what's that some don't say it some
piping hot don't delicious quick bits a zero day security flaw in Chrome
has been identified by Google who are now telling all users to update their
browsers right this minute always wait to be clear Windows 10 users who are
updated should be completely safe but if you're running Windows 7 even updating
your Chrome may not leave you fully protected so maybe consider upgrading to
Windows 10 I I I know I know I'm you hey
you do you you know whatever I'm not trying to tell you what to do you just
saying I'm going down with the ship it's Windows 7 till I die Sony has added
Remote Play for iOS to PS4 meaning iPhone and iPad users can now stream
PlayStation 4 games over their home network to their mobile devices
unfortunately iOS devices don't support the dual shock 4 controller so you'll be
stuck with third party Bluetooth controllers or even worse the onscreen
controls yeah also Apple didn't allow
the steam link app because it could stream games from a PC so how is this
different some new leaks are adding fuel to the rumors of more GTX 16 series
cards from NVIDIA namely the GTX 1660
that's the non-ti version the MSI variant of which showed up online thanks
to videoc cards.com but budget Gamers might want to hold on a bit even when
that releases because as GPU prices are reportedly set to drop in the coming
months as vendors try to clear out old inventory be patient my friends no
pre-ordering and also tell that to Colton he's a bad man T-Mobile says it
really wants to provide 5G powered home internet and it would be really cool you
guys it's just that it will be really hard to do if their merger with Sprint
isn't approved yeah it might make the industry more monopolistic but it would
be really cool you guys don't you want to see a cool 5G home network
come on and PC Gamers might want to roll back their Windows update if they're
experiencing issues in games right now Microsoft has reportedly identified a
number of issues causing graphics and mouse performance degradation unless
you're a sucker for punishment in which case you are not invidious target
audience why can't they just do it right you know the first time it's simple
Microsoft just do it right the first time like we do here at Tech every time
like next time it's one take all right that's it for EP episodes that's it for
episodes that kind of disproved what I
just said that we do it right the first time
