00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.819
we refuse to confuse you with the tech news we separate the True Blues from the

00:00:03.959 --> 00:00:10.280
chartreuse and diffuse our news through your views so please do peruse

00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:18.779
that joke wasn't going anywhere after several 7000 X3 CPUs were fried into

00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:20.220
disuse a beta BIOS was released by ASUS

00:00:18.779 --> 00:00:24.480
that's right the whole episode will be like this ASUS released a beta BIOS for

00:00:22.859 --> 00:00:29.580
its motherboards at the end of last month which was meant to ensure that SOC

00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:33.660
voltage was capped at 1.3 volts to prevent any more CPU shocks except

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:37.860
according to the tech truth battalionite Gamer's Nexus the shocks both literal

00:00:35.579 --> 00:00:42.360
and metaphorical kept coming the Steve team found that their updated mobile

00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:46.559
could still reach at least 1.41 volts even worse updating to the beta firmware

00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:50.940
that's supposed to stop your processor from frying void your warranty according

00:00:49.020 --> 00:00:55.440
to a disclaimer now we were able to confirm with ASUS that the disclaimer is

00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:59.399
standard boilerplate copy that's attached to all their beta BIOS updates

00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:03.719
and they are actually honoring warranties on all boards affected by

00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:06.540
this issue they said they were changing the disclaimer to reflect that but not

00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:11.400
all of their websites have been updated yet so they should probably get on that

00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:16.260
and also clarify that their support page makes it look like older BIOS has never

00:01:13.860 --> 00:01:20.040
supported x3d chips not because they're trying to retcon the past but because

00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:24.119
they want to make sure people install the right BIOS now Jay's two cents has

00:01:22.860 --> 00:01:29.939
released a video announcing he is severing his partnership with the brand because of myriad issues including

00:01:27.780 --> 00:01:33.479
product quality and customer support and if you want to know where we stand go

00:01:31.740 --> 00:01:37.680
listen to our boss Linus rant about it on the WAN Show for

00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:41.280
30 minutes we're recording this before the show so it's anyone's guessing we

00:01:39.479 --> 00:01:46.020
know you're watching this after happy Saturday reviews for the ASUS Rog Ally

00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:50.700
are out and you might not believe this but the handheld with newer Hardware

00:01:47.759 --> 00:01:54.240
than the steam deck performs better than the steam deck what you may have an even

00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:59.280
harder time accepting is that in a lot of ways the Ally is worse on paper rog's

00:01:57.479 --> 00:02:04.020
handheld has a better screen better Apu ASUS even decided to get its speakers

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:08.160
Dolby Atmos certified finally you can watch Christopher Nolan films the way

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:12.360
the filmmaker intended on a tiny scream sandwich between two Circles of RGB

00:02:09.959 --> 00:02:16.379
while the other bus passengers work up the courage to complain Dark Knight

00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:20.340
ain't the only thing rising and no one can understand it still I was raged in a

00:02:18.900 --> 00:02:24.540
bar fortunately for the strangers surrounding you the battery life is bad

00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:28.440
ASUS gave the Ally a high resolution screen and a more powerful Apu than the

00:02:26.340 --> 00:02:32.819
steam deck but thought the same 40 watt hour battery size would be A-Okay if it

00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:35.760
isn't the battery it's the controls at least one reviewer found that the

00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:39.180
touchscreen would register inputs when using the right thumbstick and there are

00:02:37.739 --> 00:02:43.260
multiple reports of the Ally's face buttons getting stuck in the depressed

00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:47.220
position which is very relatable just like me in high school and YouTube is

00:02:44.940 --> 00:02:52.080
trying to block some users from using ad blockers but you can't block a blocker

00:02:49.620 --> 00:02:57.120
to convince users to sit through ads something no one enjoys the platform is

00:02:54.180 --> 00:03:01.319
weaponizing something even worse pop-ups images of the pop-up first spread on

00:02:59.640 --> 00:03:04.800
Reddit just like everything else you wish you could unsee the message reads

00:03:03.239 --> 00:03:08.519
that ad blockers are not allowed on YouTube and prompts users of certain

00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:14.280
anti-advertisement extensions to either allow YouTube ads or try YouTube premium

00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:17.940
you broke bum according to Google this is yet another small experiment on the

00:03:16.440 --> 00:03:22.739
platform noting that ad blocker detection isn't new and that other sites

00:03:20.340 --> 00:03:26.040
do the same damn thing that's not a quote it's worth noting that Google is

00:03:24.300 --> 00:03:30.000
planning on removing support for the Manifest V2 browser extension API in

00:03:28.500 --> 00:03:33.959
Chrome which will prevent some ad blockers from working in chromium-based

00:03:32.040 --> 00:03:38.400
browsers which are most browsers it almost feels like this

00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:43.019
is a well orchestrated and strategic business plan but this is the stadia

00:03:40.860 --> 00:03:47.099
company so and the Google Plus company the Google Duo company they're no Elon

00:03:45.720 --> 00:03:50.459
am I right now it's time for the quick pitch brought to you by go to resolve

00:03:48.780 --> 00:03:54.360
are you looking for simple easy to use yet effective It software go to resolve

00:03:52.980 --> 00:03:57.780
might be the answer for you worried you're being spied on Safeguard your

00:03:56.220 --> 00:04:01.680
business with industry-leading protocols like zero trust access controls and

multi-factor authentication the remote monitoring and management capabilities

00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:08.760
allow secret agents to protect and

00:04:06.060 --> 00:04:12.360
secure I.T assets leaving hackers shaken and stirred you can perform important

00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:16.440
tasks such as patch management anti-virus management I.T Automation and

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:29.100
did there it's not every episode that I get to introduce five short stories that

00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:32.940
we call Quick bits because I don't host every episode but we do we do it all the

00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:39.240
time Google is working on an open source tool that will allow you to game using

00:04:35.220 --> 00:04:41.580
only face movements project game face is

00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:45.180
designed to help people like Lance car a streamer with muscular dystrophy with

00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:48.540
only a webcam the tech allows precise enough control for Lance to write his

00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:52.320
name in a demo video with this technology I can weaponize the

00:04:49.979 --> 00:04:56.100
frustration I feel playing from software games by performing the first Elden ring

00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:59.840
playthrough controlled exclusively by swear words

00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:04.800
you use spells before die Twitter officially has a new CEO

00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:10.020
after teasing a new hire yesterday Elon officially announced today that the new

00:05:06.479 --> 00:05:12.419
CEO is Linda yacharino I think the it's

00:05:10.020 --> 00:05:16.860
2C is that Italian I'm Italian so yeah you know formerly NBC Universal's chair

00:05:14.940 --> 00:05:21.360
of global advertising yakarina officially left that job to accept the

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:26.280
Twitter CEO position so that Elon can step back and start being merely the

00:05:24.180 --> 00:05:30.780
executive chair and CTO of the social platform on a totally unrelated note I

00:05:28.380 --> 00:05:34.320
recently learned about the glass Cliff a phenomenon where women are more likely

00:05:32.340 --> 00:05:39.120
to be put in leadership roles under precarious circumstances crazy right

00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:44.639
anyway best of luck Linda don't at your boss anthropic has updated its chat GPD

00:05:41.940 --> 00:05:49.139
competitor Claude with the ability to remember more than double the number of

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:53.039
words that Chad gbt can within the same interaction this amount is known as the

00:05:51.300 --> 00:05:57.539
context window which sounds like something else I would like to have on

00:05:55.440 --> 00:06:02.160
hand at all times the free version of chat GPT can hold about 3000 words in

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:08.580
its mind at once upgrade to chat GPT plus and it can handle about 32 000 but

00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:11.280
the gifted kit of chat Bots Claude Khloe

00:06:08.580 --> 00:06:15.000
can now remember around 75 000 words meaning you can hold the entirety of The

00:06:13.259 --> 00:06:19.620
Great Gatsby in its mind during a conversation never before seen by any

00:06:17.100 --> 00:06:24.000
high schooler as one does and frankly anthropic is starting to rub the other

00:06:21.780 --> 00:06:28.199
moms at chatbot Elementary the wrong way he also plays lacrosse and just holds

00:06:26.220 --> 00:06:31.740
his first painting he already has chest hair but he shaves it the UK's

00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:35.220
competition and markets Authority has announced more restrictions for

00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:40.620
Microsoft and Activision after blocking the merger the two companies must now

00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:42.840
secure written consent from the CMA if

00:06:40.620 --> 00:06:46.560
either of them acquires an interest in the other company or acquires an

00:06:44.580 --> 00:06:49.860
interest in another business that holds an interest in the other company you

00:06:48.300 --> 00:06:55.520
follow me here this sounds just like your parents trying to control who you

00:06:52.080 --> 00:06:55.520
can and can date

00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:03.479
meanwhile the EU is expected to approve the merger next week because there's

00:07:01.500 --> 00:07:10.740
nothing more European than having an interest in lots of company

00:07:07.460 --> 00:07:12.720
sorry about oranges and whiz announced a

00:07:10.740 --> 00:07:17.520
new home monitoring system that uses its motion sensing smart bulbs and an indoor

00:07:14.940 --> 00:07:21.360
camera the bulbs space sensing feature can detect changes in Wi-Fi signals

00:07:19.380 --> 00:07:25.080
caused by movement so the light bulbs can Flash on and off at The Intruders

00:07:23.400 --> 00:07:28.620
the app will also send alerts to your phone so you can check your cameras I

00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:31.639
assume to make sure your guests are enjoying the haunted house

00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:36.900
and you'll enjoy more Tech news on Monday if you come back here and watch

00:07:35.039 --> 00:07:40.099
it until then just watch this episode again do it

00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.099
do what I said
