00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.640
welcome to techlink brought to you by lttstore.com well no we're not really

00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:09.120
it's not i mean like it is

00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:15.679
short i guess so sort of microsoft finally gave the public a look at the

00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:19.520
games lineup for the xbox series x in the xbox games showcase yesterday and

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:23.920
they didn't waste any time diving right into the game everybody wanted to see

00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:27.760
halo infinite except the fans weren't ready for the game's lackluster graphics

00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:32.719
quality with multiple articles written about how we need to talk about the

00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:36.960
graphics a proper trailer uploaded later seemed to look slightly better but it

00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:40.960
still has fans worried that 343 might have taken their og halo inspiration a

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:45.040
bit too literally later it was revealed that the demo

00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:48.800
wasn't even running on the series x but on a pc making things even more

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:52.079
confusing well the devs will probably have some time to fix it since halo

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:57.039
infinite is supposed to be the final halo title with the next 10 years of

00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:01.359
halo content slated to arrive as updates for the game not as standalone titles of

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:06.080
course microsoft showed off some non-halo games as well with psychonauts

00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:10.240
2 stalker 2 i'm excited about that one and a new fable along with 20 titles in

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:14.159
the live stream that will all be coming to xbox game pass oh and obsidian is

00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:18.640
making what basically looks like an elder scrolls game because if bethesda

00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:22.000
won't make a skyrim sequel somebody has to do they though

00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:24.960
i mean we don't need it how many consoles are going to come out

00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:29.920
in the next five years to release skyrim on that's true

00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:33.680
Intel having a bad day sadly seems to be the norm now the company has announced

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:37.920
their seven nanometer process will be delayed by another six months meaning

00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:44.240
they don't even expect seven nanometer chips on the market until late 2022 or

00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:44.240
early 2023

00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:50.079
the news is made more embarrassing by the fact that NVIDIA and AMD already

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:54.720
have seven nanometer products out on the market and yes we know that those

00:01:53.040 --> 00:02:02.000
process names don't actually refer to anything meaningful in terms of the actual process size but they do refer to

00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:06.320
your mom shut up oh rude nick

00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:10.000
good great the delay has forced Intel to consider outsourcing production of its

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:13.840
chips instead of making its own a development that caused the company's

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:18.480
shares to tumble seems like apple started this transition to ARM at just

00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:23.280
the right time for apple not for Intel that also sucks for Intel but if a guy

00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:28.959
named bob swann can't lead Intel back to greatness who can riley

00:02:26.239 --> 00:02:32.640
and speaking of ARM that company is so hot right now NVIDIA is reportedly

00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:37.440
considering buying them from their current japanese owner softbank reports

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:41.360
claim that team green has approached ARM to discuss a potential acquisition you

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.599
might expect that apple would consider buying them instead given apple's new

00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:50.400
ARM only future but tim has enough on his plate already not adding usbc to

00:02:48.160 --> 00:02:53.200
iphones it takes a lot of willpower to avoid doing the obvious thing you should

00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:59.040
definitely do if NVIDIA does make the purchase they could add CPU chops to their already

00:02:56.640 --> 00:03:03.840
powerful GPU chops as evidenced by the new leak of next-gen ampere GPU showing

00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:08.239
performance around 43 percent faster than touring can't wait for those new

00:03:05.519 --> 00:03:12.239
gpus so that i can get a discount on an old one up top frugality

00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:18.000
kovid practices social distancing yeah

00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:21.440
bump elbows now it's time for the quick bits brought to you by ifixit bits wait

00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:26.319
what i fix it once to make sure you have the right bit for the job so you can use the

00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:30.560
right kit to take apart and repair almost any piece of electronics you want

00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:36.480
there's the mako kit with 64 small bits the mahi with 48 large bits or you can

00:03:33.440 --> 00:03:39.280
get the manta with all 112 bits each one

00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:43.920
of them quick each kit includes ifixit's famous swivel knurled screwdriver in a

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:48.959
magnetic enclosed case with everything held together in cut foam check it out

00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:54.000

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:57.439
the quick fit soldier on a government hearing on antitrust scheduled for this

00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:02.080
monday has been delayed but when it gets rescheduled it's going to be a doozy

00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:06.799
because mark zuckerberg jeff bezos tim apple and sundar pichai are all set to

00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:12.000
testify because apparently their companies can't not break anti-monopoly

00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:16.160
regulations amazon was recently found to be buying stakes in tech startups

00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:20.160
stealing their tech and then launching competitors against them and google has

00:04:18.479 --> 00:04:24.240
apparently been monitoring non-google apps for usage patterns so it can build

00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:28.800
its own version i mean hey they're just trying to make the world a better place right for

00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:31.280
themselves do you tell him nick

00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:36.080
you really late we will never see movies in theaters

00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:41.040
again following the indefinite delay of christopher nolan's tenet disney has

00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:45.680
delayed the release of mulan and even push back the new avatar and star wars

00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:50.240
movies the new top gun and a quiet place too have also been delayed because some

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:57.360
people won't wear a freaking mask look i can only re-watch trolls world tour so

00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:59.040
many times wash your dang hands

00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:04.080
russia may have just tested an anti-satellite weapon in space according

00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:06.160
to the us and uk militaries the evidence

00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:10.240
isn't conclusive and it may not be until russia actually blows up a satellite so

00:05:08.320 --> 00:05:14.320
this year might be about to get even crazier 2020

00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:19.039
please stop the u.s energy department has announced

00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:23.120
plans to develop and build a quantum internet that would use entangled

00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:27.360
photons for communication such a network would be super secure because observing

00:05:25.039 --> 00:05:31.759
any information would actually alter it you know what sounds even better than

00:05:29.039 --> 00:05:36.400
that though rolling out decent internet to everyone first i mean like do you

00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:40.880
have gigabit i know i don't we could though and gebo

00:05:38.479 --> 00:05:45.600
lives the lovable robots makers have been

00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:48.880
acquired by a company called ntt disruption who will adapt this

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:52.560
functionality to serve in healthcare and education so now we don't have to watch

00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:56.000
it dance its way to an early grave we love you gebo

00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:59.759
and i would love to keep doing this episode but it's got to be over by now

00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:02.360
come back on monday for more tech news because you'll probably need a little

00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.400
bit of a pick-me-up by then

00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:07.840
mondays suck
