aha i caught you with your pants down
good gravy i'm bringing you the tech news the least you could do is put on
some freaking pjs i've made this joke before let's move on
we got some fresh leaks concerning AMD's second gen threadripper processors these
leaks are piping hot careful don't burn your hands anyways first we got a
screenshot of a system running a threadripper 2990wx
boosting up to 4.1 gigahertz which is decent considering it's a 32 core 64
thread chip hardware database hwbot.org
was also just updated with listings for the 2990x 2970x and 2950x indicating the
launch of the chips is taking place soon and finally
canada computers appears to have inadvertently listed the 2990x for
2400 canadian dollars which is around
1850 us that
that's expensive but what were you expecting cores just don't grow on trees
i mean i mean they they do but that's a different that's an
apple core it's inside of an enough processors aren't the only thing
being leaked we're seeing news about the upcoming google pixel 3 xl 2018 iphone
and galaxy note 9 in the lead up to their launches an xda forum user posted
photos of the pixel 3 xl which has sadly joined the cult of the notch although
while it has two front-facing cameras it's only got one rear camera leaks have
also pointed to a pixel stand device which sounds like a wireless charging
dock that kind of turns the pixel into a smart display like the one lenovo just
released now the iphone leaks point to a three device lineup once more a base
iphone a new iphone 10 and an iphone 10
plus all with face scanners and no home button and a filing spotted by sam
mobile reveals the samsung galaxy note 9 probably has a 4 000 milliamp hour
battery the note eights was just 3 300
milliamp hours so that's that's a lot more we should hear more
about these phones when they launch in a month or two obviously that's when you
hear about them and china is coming up in a big way economically politically
technologically and america's military isn't having it the defense advanced
research projects agency or darpa has launched a 1.5 billion dollar program to
fund advances in chip technology it's called the electronics resurgence
initiative and it's an oven if you want to improve chip technology you got to
bake them just right big chips in the there's not that time
but chips Linus it's called the electronics resurgence initiative and
it's apparently meant to give american companies an edge in continuing
processor advancement which is slowing due to the limits imposed by moore's law
moore's law being the generalization that the number of transistors fitted on
a chip doubles every two years oh you got it i wonder how
darpa feels about AMD basically working with china to produce chinese versions
of their epic chips why can't we just be friends
we could send over some winnie the pooh bears as an olive branch

below on to the quack bats turns out we didn't just dream that Intel posted the
xen390 chipset and then removed it ASUS's entire lineup of z390
motherboards was leaked in a company document so while it appears that you
will be able to use Intel's upcoming 9th gen chips with z370 if you want a
different number on your on your board because it looks nicer you can buy that
upgrade magic leap has released new demos and mock-ups of its augmented
reality operating system which will almost certainly not look like the demos
and mock-ups shown but i mean i guess the company's graphic
designers are having a great time for now man a lot of leaks today the mavic 2
zoom and pro were leaked in an argos catalog while the beefier mavic 2
enterprise was leaked on dji's german website the main upgrades appear to be
new cameras designed with swedish camera maker hasselblad which must be good
based solely on how hard to pronounce their name is autonomous driving startup
drive.ai is releasing new cars onto the road today featuring four led screens
meant to communicate with pedestrians because there's no one in the driver's
seat to give like the wave or alternatively the bird
i'm not gonna do it i can do it he can censor it depending
on the context give the bird flip the bird but you don't flip the wave anyways
and a steam game called abstractism developed by ocalo union has been
removed from steam following reports that it was mining cryptocurrency using
players machines seems like valve should be doing a bit more policing of what
games it allows on its store or we could just keep the task manager open the
whole time and track GPU usage that yeah that works too hey that's it for tech
linked where did the time go huh hey don't worry we'll be back on wednesday
and friday until then like dislike subscribe don't go outside stock up
unsalting crackers you can forget the last two actually
