history of brilliantly emulating familiar Hardware on new tech sorry that sounded sarcastic but it was genuine I struggle with giving Earnest compliments he's never said anything nice to me good job Jacob clicking and holding the camera control button will activate the new visual intelligence feature which will let you use a photo to search the web prompt Siri or chat GPT and even add an event from a poster to your calendar it's like what Google Lens pretends to be and is actually really cool I'm sorry I just I don't I don't know how so wait all the iPhone 16s sound pretty similar right now why would I pay over a th000 bucks for the 16 Pro or Pro Max other than to get that exclusive color that seemed like it was Pooh brown but is actually called desert titanium and doesn't actually look like poo to everyone's surprise well you don't want the regular old 18 you want the a18 pro it's got a bunch of upgrades that will let the 16 Pros run Apple intelligence 15% faster than on the iPhone 15 Pro not that we would know at this point it hasn't come out yet but the pros also have larger displays studio quality mics that enable customized background noise removal for video recording and upgraded cameras that support recording 4K 120 video hey if it's good enough for the weekend to film a music video with it's good enough for me next up the new airpods 4 have an H2 chip and also an upgraded version with withc and a wireless charging case while the airpod pros have gotten upgraded hearing testing abilities that help them function as clinical grade hearing aids I don't know sounds like Boomer to me Apple also showed off the new Apple watch series 10 with a bigger display and the thinnest design ever it now can run the translate app directly on Watch and add sleep apneia to the list of conditions it can detect continuing the watch's transformation into basically the High quarter from Star Trek at their next event in October Apple will reportedly unveil new iPads and Macs packed with new buttons that activate features that will definitely become available at some point in the future press them to get an estimate on how long you have to wait you press the button it's like this feature will be available sometime next year there's no Tim Cook impression but that was like almost Craig federi your friends and family can now message each other and occasionally kiss I want send little kisses over the Internet IFA 2024 kicked off in Berlin last Friday and some of the tech there really put the funk in intern F that's what IFA stands for by the way according to Jacob and the world Nano Leaf showed off its sense plus battery powerered Smart Switch that it's been working on for 8 years although that's no guarantee of success as Concord has shown the switch uses a proprietary protocol called LightWave to control all nanoleaf smart lights in a room while two configurable buttons on the sense plus can use matter to control other devices then there's lenovo's Auto twist aipc concept which has a motorized 360° hinge allowing the display to follow you around like it's asking for a restraining order I know you said you're done using me for stuff but actually I have something to talk to me about you like close the window and then like walk away and it's like is it is that it more helpfully the laptop can detect when it's not being used and close itself to prevent any real snoops from Gaining access oh interesting meanwhile Acer showed off a gaming laptop concept called project dual play its touchpad pops out and flips over into a controller that further separates into two smaller controllers Nintendo switch style wow but if you're into gaming products that actually exist there's the Techno pocket go a handheld PC disguised as a chunky gam pad with ar glasses as a display it evokes a cyberpunk dystopia where the majority of the population are forced to use the younger sibling controller only the super rich get a normal controller if you're more into home gadgets the wireless power Consortium the minds behind theqii wireless charging standard announced the key standard you're supposed to say it the way that other people said the other one wrongly apparently it's called that because it's for kitchens okay key transmitters can be baked into to countertops that's a pun and deliver up to 2200 WTS to compatible smart appliances these appliances will be cordless to make them dishwasher safe and to also render them useless if you ever move I thought that was a genuine feature welcome to an older shittier building we don't have countertops like that there is a benefit though if you like accidentally knock over a blender or something it'll stop spinning yeah it'll never spin if you you live never spit again on the even weirder side there's the air purifier table from switchbox the only company brave enough to ask the question what if we just made an air purifier but then we gave it a little hat you should be brave enough to ask about our sponsor seic their Prime TX 1000 wat power supply is a great choice if you're building a high performance system it features an 80 plus titanium rating which means less power gets wasted during power conversion or in layman's terms less loose juice write that down the prime tx1000 is also fully modular and features both hybrid fan control and fluid Dynamic fan bearings to reduce overall fan noise on top of that it comes with a 12year warranty I mean come on learn more at cic.gc.ca architectures rdna and cdna respectively into a unified udna architecture making a more accessible platform for developers and hopefully more effectively competing with NVIDIA's Cuda ecosystem but it seems AMD won't be competing with NVIDIA's Flagship gaming gpus as wi told Tom's Hardware team red is reprioritizing mid-range gpus saying quote I don't want AMD to be the company that only people who can afford Porsches and Ferraris can buy and that's why they're high-end x870 motherboards reportedly won't cost more than $800 it's a board for the people for the people in higher tax brackets meta's rumored budget headset The Meta Quest 3s is expected to launch on September 25th at meta's connect event but a render of the headset was recently released online thanks to Reliable leaker meta the render was originally spotted in the files of the meta Quest client for Windows and posted to Reddit and it seems to show a design that combines elements of the Quest 2 and Quest 3 likewise thirdparty accessories for the 3s have already appeared on AliExpress including apparently real photos of the headset I don't know though this could still all be just a prank what if we're all in the metaverse already I mean we just don't Amazon's Audible has started to invite certain us audiobook narrators to train AIS on their own voices narrators who opt in will be compensated for any Audi book that makes use of their AI voice though likely at a lower rate via a royalty share model narrators can still choose which Productions get to use their AI voice model and will be able to use built-in tools to edit the AI narration to correct things like pronunciation mistakes and pacing but I mean at that point why not just record the audio yourself it sounds like you have time hold on let me just edit this AI version of me to see if it's any better oh what was this delivery what is this guy an idiot Sonos is still suffering from its software issues according to a report by Mark German reporting on something other than Apple right what are you doing Mark stay in your lane what are you doing buddy the company's app troubles have caused it to delay the launch of two products one of which is a set top box code named Pinewood Sonos is also scaling back production of its Ace headphones as they haven't exactly been flying off the shelves do you want to buy headphones that will break in a couple months for no reason worth a shot oh yeah by the way Sonos makes headphones if you forgot or were never told gosh I wonder why they aren't selling and researcher and I guess fashion designer Teresa Barton is recycling old NVIDIA gt730 graphics cards into purses that cost $1,024 exactly which is one way to make enough money to finally afford an RTX 480 Barton also offers higher-end purses fashioned out of h100 AI chips for over $65,000 these repurposed gpus aren't functional oford according to Barton they're ethically sourced from data center dumpsters but the fan still works which should mean your wallet and keys get excellent airf flow I could use that better in my pants really and we'd appreciate more air flow this Wednesday when the next episode of TechLink drops so come on back if you're a fan I'm sorry oh God I'm so sorry please that was I didn't mean to make that joke that was not please please come back"}
