welcome to techlink brought to you by lttstore.com well no we're not really
it's not i mean like it is
short i guess so sort of microsoft finally gave the public a look at the
games lineup for the xbox series x in the xbox games showcase yesterday and
they didn't waste any time diving right into the game everybody wanted to see
halo infinite except the fans weren't ready for the game's lackluster graphics
quality with multiple articles written about how we need to talk about the
graphics a proper trailer uploaded later seemed to look slightly better but it
still has fans worried that 343 might have taken their og halo inspiration a
bit too literally later it was revealed that the demo
wasn't even running on the series x but on a pc making things even more
confusing well the devs will probably have some time to fix it since halo
infinite is supposed to be the final halo title with the next 10 years of
halo content slated to arrive as updates for the game not as standalone titles of
course microsoft showed off some non-halo games as well with psychonauts
2 stalker 2 i'm excited about that one and a new fable along with 20 titles in
the live stream that will all be coming to xbox game pass oh and obsidian is
making what basically looks like an elder scrolls game because if bethesda
won't make a skyrim sequel somebody has to do they though
i mean we don't need it how many consoles are going to come out
in the next five years to release skyrim on that's true
Intel having a bad day sadly seems to be the norm now the company has announced
their seven nanometer process will be delayed by another six months meaning
they don't even expect seven nanometer chips on the market until late 2022 or
early 2023
the news is made more embarrassing by the fact that NVIDIA and AMD already
have seven nanometer products out on the market and yes we know that those
process names don't actually refer to anything meaningful in terms of the actual process size but they do refer to
your mom shut up oh rude nick
good great the delay has forced Intel to consider outsourcing production of its
chips instead of making its own a development that caused the company's
shares to tumble seems like apple started this transition to ARM at just
the right time for apple not for Intel that also sucks for Intel but if a guy
named bob swann can't lead Intel back to greatness who can riley
and speaking of ARM that company is so hot right now NVIDIA is reportedly
considering buying them from their current japanese owner softbank reports
claim that team green has approached ARM to discuss a potential acquisition you
might expect that apple would consider buying them instead given apple's new
ARM only future but tim has enough on his plate already not adding usbc to
iphones it takes a lot of willpower to avoid doing the obvious thing you should
definitely do if NVIDIA does make the purchase they could add CPU chops to their already
powerful GPU chops as evidenced by the new leak of next-gen ampere GPU showing
performance around 43 percent faster than touring can't wait for those new
gpus so that i can get a discount on an old one up top frugality
kovid practices social distancing yeah

the quick fit soldier on a government hearing on antitrust scheduled for this
monday has been delayed but when it gets rescheduled it's going to be a doozy
because mark zuckerberg jeff bezos tim apple and sundar pichai are all set to
testify because apparently their companies can't not break anti-monopoly
regulations amazon was recently found to be buying stakes in tech startups
stealing their tech and then launching competitors against them and google has
apparently been monitoring non-google apps for usage patterns so it can build
its own version i mean hey they're just trying to make the world a better place right for
themselves do you tell him nick
you really late we will never see movies in theaters
again following the indefinite delay of christopher nolan's tenet disney has
delayed the release of mulan and even push back the new avatar and star wars
movies the new top gun and a quiet place too have also been delayed because some
people won't wear a freaking mask look i can only re-watch trolls world tour so
many times wash your dang hands
russia may have just tested an anti-satellite weapon in space according
to the us and uk militaries the evidence
isn't conclusive and it may not be until russia actually blows up a satellite so
this year might be about to get even crazier 2020
please stop the u.s energy department has announced
plans to develop and build a quantum internet that would use entangled
photons for communication such a network would be super secure because observing
any information would actually alter it you know what sounds even better than
that though rolling out decent internet to everyone first i mean like do you
have gigabit i know i don't we could though and gebo
lives the lovable robots makers have been
acquired by a company called ntt disruption who will adapt this
functionality to serve in healthcare and education so now we don't have to watch
it dance its way to an early grave we love you gebo
