tech news yeah let's get the people going huh
yeah here are my people in the back
yeah let's let's let's talk about some server grade processors huh
you are excited but wow i didn't expect that one okay Intel is being besieged on
all sides in the server CPU space AMD's
epic chips with our super high core counts are becoming increasingly popular
and now amazon has announced they've made their own server chip it's called
the graviton that's a hypothetical particle of gravitational energy james
in case you didn't know ah and it's an ARM chip based off the
cortex a72 design with up to 16 cores running at 2.3 gigahertz it's unclear
what modifications amazon has made to the design but maybe this is like the
amazon basics of server chips you know it's nothing fancy since it is an ARM
chip the graviton doesn't pose much of a threat to the majority of amazon's
servers currently equipped with Intel chips but it's an indicator that if
Intel continues to drag its feed in processor design
i mean who are we kidding they'll probably be fine it's Intel
google's project phi has been sort of a niche alternative cell service for those
with pixels and other specific Android phones but apparently it gathered enough
xp because it is evolving pokemon yeah
it's a pokemon it's like pokemon gotta catch em all except there's only
one and it's project five project phi has evolved into google phi rebranded i
mean and with the new name come support for many more Android phones and for the
first time iphones
although iOS support is in beta because google fi uses multiple cellular
networks that means that switching between networks or from wi-fi to data
might be less smooth than with the fully supported devices you also lose visual
voicemail wi-fi calling and some other features but the no contract cheap data
great roaming stuff that'll all be there now i'm hoping google fi evolves one
more time so that it can come to canada
pokemon it could be called alphabet phi
and new zealand has become the latest country to block huawei from building 5g
networking infrastructure the kiwi telecom spark said that it was prevented
from using equipment from the chinese tech company by new zealand's government
communications security bureau which unfortunately does not have an easily
pronounceable acronym
the agency said the reason they blocked the collaboration was because a
significant network security risk was identified new zealand follows australia
and the us in banning huawei technology in some form because of concerns about
huawei's connections to the chinese government but but but they make cool
phones so got away the risks

bow to the quick bits we've reported a lot on apple's lower
than expected iphone sales and now the company is taking even more steps to
mitigate the crisis they've reduced production a second time for the iphone
10s and 10r and they've also upped the trade-in value of old iphones if
customers buy a new iphone
i'm not really sure what else to say about this we've kind of talked it to death ha apple's having troubles
i i laugh at your misfortune if you're having trouble logging into your iphone
a company called drive savers claims to be able to break into a passcode locked
iphone with a 100 success rate for
around four thousand dollars however drive saver says that they do not offer
their service to law enforcement then who's buying this
people you're you do if you locked yourself out
i would buy four new phones before you yeah that's true all your
data how long until apple patches the exploit that makes this possible
who knows but it's gonna happen for sure you know that padlock icon you see in
web browsers next to the https that's supposed to tell you this website is
secure well it turns out nowadays that doesn't mean jack squat as recent data
from security watchdog fish lab shows that 49 of all phishing sites as in the
kind that steal your personal information also have the padlock so
i guess now we need a new icon that indicates impermeability you might think playing
games on a phone is lame but iphones actually just got a bit of an upgrade
over the nintendo switch fortnite at 60fps
you are excited about this i am always surprised by what james is into that's
right the game runs at 30fps on the switch but the latest iOS devices now
have a 60fps option so watch out ninja
andrew the barista is coming for you
