when the last human dies tech news will
still be here i don't know who will write it maybe dolphins
could have evolved by then the people behind usb and HDMI have really been
screwing up their naming schemes and it almost looked like the wi-fi alliance
would make the same mistake wi-fi 6e more like eu you know
well thank goodness Intel and broadcom have released a demo of good old single
number style wi-fi 7 achieving a whopping 5 gigabits per second over the
air without a single suffix or decimal to be found what is this opportunity
called wi-fi 6e version 2. the demo shows a 5 gigahertz wi-fi 6
system topping out at 1 gigabit and 6 gigahertz wi-fi 6e hitting around 2
gigabits making the 5 gigabit speed even more impressive particularly because
despite wi-fi 6e being out for a while it hasn't reached many corners of the
market for example the new iphone 14s don't even support it yet they can talk
to satellites explain that neil degrasse tyson mr scientist
wi-fi seven products won't be here until later next year but it makes me feel
better knowing they'll involve fewer numbers on the box google's unrelenting
campaign to pressure apple into supporting rcs chat on iphones seems to
be unsurprisingly ineffective so far yes
if a recent tim apple quote is anything to go by asked by a reporter what can be
done about the fact that videos he sends to his mom come out looking like found
footage from a horror movie tim told him buy your mom an iphone
nerd i guess social media bullying can't fix
everything but even if the reporter did want to get his mom apple's newest phone
he may find it difficult right now since apple's website broke down yesterday
trying to fulfill the flood of pre-orders from those taking tim's
advice he also might find it a tad too expensive as well apple claimed they
hadn't raised prices for the new lineup but turns out that was only true for the
us and china everywhere else the iphone 14s cost about the equivalent of an
extra 100 euros or more so i think it might be time for mr apple to cool it
with the mom jokes although he is right about the fact that you should buy your
mom something nice remember her huh yeah pick up the phone and over in GPU land
Intel has released more detailed specs of their arc gaming graphics cards via
yet another video from the blue man group farm team tom peterson and ryan
schroeder the dynamic blue the new numbers have the internet
buzzing saying everything from wow to
release the damn thing already for products that supposedly launched many
months ago these cards are surprisingly not anywhere NVIDIA provided even more
reason for team blue to get their butts in gear with a mysterious teaser that
was immediately deciphered revealing a special broadcast called GeForce beyond

they're just circles leaked geekbench results showed apple's new a16 bionic
chip actually getting a worse multi-core score than its predecessor the a15
bionic leading many to speculate if this is the real reason they compared it to
the a13 during the unveiling but a
second geekbench result soon surfaced with a multi-core score that made a bit
more sense it just goes to show beware of leaked benchmarks that may tempt you
to question your faith in those who dwell in the infinite loop look neither
to the right nor the left broad is the path that leads to Android etcetera you
can keep going with this AMD's fidelity fx super resolution or fsr has reached
version 2.1 bringing significant changes that should alleviate ghosting issues
improve color range sharpness and more hopefully this brings team red's
upscaling tech even closer to NVIDIA's dlss so we can run it on NVIDIA gpus for
more reasons than to satisfy some sick urge for juxtaposition green and red
together what does that mean you love juxtaposition what does that even make
though purple youtube has launched a new player for education in the us and korea
which can be used by schools and educational content creators to play
videos without showing any ads links or video recommendations they're also
rolling out the ability for creators to post quizzes which will look like
community post polls but this time there is a right answer you did it wrong
and next year creators will be able to offer paid courses maybe we'll do one on
how to achieve just the right level of cringe or how to piss off your editor
crystal dynamics the developer behind the recent aaa tomb raider trilogy has
announced they once again have the rights to make more tomb raider games
now i'm gonna be honest at first i thought this meant they had somehow
taken back the rights from embracer group the voracious ip holding group
that bought them from square enix but then i realized no wait embracer group
also bought crystal dynamics reversing this back into a story about franchise
ownership being consolidated into a handful of giant corporations and then
when i realized that then i wrote this story
and then i wrote this one about ai company runway teasing a feature for its
web-based video editor that will allow you to edit video using written
descriptions of what you want to do the field of ai generated imagery is
expanding so rapidly we're already talking about video and whether video
editors are even sentient that's lesson number one in the course the ai video
generating feature isn't available yet but you can use written editing commands
in runway's early access testing so here's your regular reminder that the ai
will eventually come for us all be ready
have your usb have your heart and your usb port open
and the end has come for this episode so come back on monday for more tech news
next week is going to be juicy i can feel it dolphins may be involved
