the tech news calls will you answer
hello fine I'll do it myself full
reviews are finally up for valve steam deck gaming handheld the device valve
boss Gabe Newell says is to PC gaming as
the iPhone was to smartphones when they first launched I love a good analogy
going with that one other recent handheld PCS like the GPD win or ayad
Neo are like what the palm and blackberry
Linus and Jake said in the full LTT review that while the software needs
some Polish overall it works great stupendous it's super exciting while
Gamers Nexus and digital Foundry also posted deep Dives on performance so
check those guys out if you want to live vicariously because you're not going to
find any steam decks in stock for a while you can't they're too cheap damn
it hey at least valve dropped a trailer for a surprise all new Portal game which
of course is just a bite-sized stationary experience called aperture
desk job and not Portal 3 because valve
exists in a pocket Dimension where threes don't exist you need to find the
portal to get there use your momentum to hop in the driver's
seat Russia the country currently led by
unhinged dictator resembling his own penis Vladimir Putin we're going there
hey has partially blocked its citizens access to Facebook after I thought they
loved Facebook after accusing the platform of censoring four Russian media
Outlets meta says it refused Russia's
request to stop using independent fact Checkers to label potential
misinformation posted by those Outlets which Russia didn't like the irony being
of course that Russia's government has made censoring its own citizen speech
about as ubiquitous as vodka in the country in mother country Mark are we
not best friends anymore the incident has analysts considering the impact
Russia's Invasion on Ukraine may have on platforms and projects shared with the
West such as the International Space Station which depends on thrust supplied
by russian-operated modules I read that as mules for a second they're very good
on plow but she
made some concerning comments on Twitter about the prospect of what would happen
if America broke off ties but no official statements have been made and
the guy is a bit of a hothead especially before he's had his special coffee
I feel the war in Ukraine is also expected to affect our old friend the
chip shortage making semiconductors involves lasers guys which involves neon
and it turns out the US gets 90 of its Neon gas supply from Ukraine Russia and
Ukraine are also major providers of a number of other Commodities including
energy wheat the Bread Basket of Europe and metals like iron copper and
Palladium which is also critical to ship making so since electronics are going to
be quite expensive for a while it's probably better to use your money to
donate to organizations providing Aid to ukrainians like the Red Cross and Global
giving we are taken aside here there's also
some links in the description with ways that you can help especially because you've already tweeted Putin bad so that
part's done what's the next step Riley

hit by a Cyber attack that took part of its operations offline for two days the
hack is Raising questions about possible Russian involvement given the timing but
as of now the identity of the perpetrators remains unclear we should
also remain open to the idea that NVIDIA tried to download that mining limiter
unlocker that was actually just malware it can happen to anyone I could totally
see Jensen falling for them do you think you guys think this would
work 10 off leather jackets hey remember Faraday future that electric vehicle
company that was supposed to take on Tesla big time and then almost went
bankrupt multiple times and then eventually got acquired they actually
made a car the ff91 made its debut at an
event on Wednesday and will formally begin production in Q3 2022 that's this
year baby they think I mean it is this year but they think
they'll make the car this year it could happen
sometime in the future if the pixel 6 wasn't quite your jam and you were
waiting to see the pixel 7 behold renders of the phone and its pro version
have hit the web and well they look almost exactly like the pixel 6 which
sucks because I didn't like that belt on it but not much is known about the phone
except that it will have a belt and it will release this fall and almost no one
will buy it how dare you you put that last part in
they don't have a lot of market share but they have a lot of Mind share you know I think about them all the time
and in metaverse news a new segment on this show is recurring the design and
specs of the magic leap 2 AR headset have leaked showing a device with
increased field of view resolution more sensors and what might be might be the
same SOC used in the steam deck but if you want your metaverse life to
feel a bit more real HTC just announced it was partnering with Hollow ride to
enable in-ride experiences through its by flow headset so you can scare
pedestrians with your bug face or what
I don't know what it is oh the bug face okay seems like
everybody's down with the metaverse right but not Gabe Newell he told PC
Gamer that most people talking about the metaverse have absolutely no idea what
they're talking about and have never heard of MMOs saying he has coffee with
the terms Creator snow crash author Neil Stevenson who regularly relates
metaverse stories that are driving him crazy he just can't he must be pissed
about Twitter now I'm sure he just has to hang out with Zuck in his personal space station and he'll change his mind
it's good answer the call to Tech news to come
back on Monday for more but for now rest regain your strength you've earned it
love you
