00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:07,680
dear Journal I've been covering CES 2025

2
00:00:03,959 --> 00:00:10,440
for 3 days now the Red Bull has run out

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:17,039
drums sound in the distance probably beaten by a smart toilet with robot arms

4
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:20,640
or something it won't be long

5
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:24,000
now AMD's lips are still sealed when it

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:26,480
comes to their nextg gpus but IGN

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:34,680
managed to secretly run the internal Benchmark in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 on

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:39,000
the r X 970 non-xt in AMD's CES Booth

9
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:41,480
getting an average FPS of 99 from this

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:47,520
IGN estimates the card might perform somewhere close to NVIDIA's RTX 480

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:51,879
super using some kind of PCY nerd derivative of girl math I couldn't

12
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:56,879
follow it but the point is AMD's apparent decision to at the last minute

13
00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:02,359
withhold all information about their nextg gpus except their names has only

14
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:05,640
made everyone more curious about them a lesson they already would have learned

15
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:11,240
had they ever brought a bag of nuts into the squirrel pen you get you guys don't

16
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:16,159
have those even AMD's GPU board Partners seem confused about what's going on

17
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:21,680
powercolor allowed Leo and the kit Guru team to look at their RX 970s while

18
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:25,799
pretending that they weren't come in Matt come close and look at the

19
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:29,920
invisible non-existent graphics cards meanwhile Tom's Hardware seems to have

20
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:36,200
inadvertently published a photo of the the navi 48 chip powering the gpus

21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:39,840
leading leaky Twitter guy David Wong to

22
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:42,040
estimate the die size at around 390 mm

23
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:48,159
squared which is slightly larger than the ad 103 chip powering NVIDIA's RTX

24
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:51,640
480 we have gotten one concrete piece of

25
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:56,159
information though ASUS revealed both RX

26
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:57,960
970 variants have 16 GB of vram which

27
00:01:56,159 --> 00:02:02,640
they apparently weren't supposed to reveal as they took down the page

28
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:07,320
shortly after AMD is kind of acting like that friend who will plan a surprise

29
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:12,720
party for you but hide it horribly so you have to act surprised when it

30
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:16,720
happens which has happened to me so many times such a relatable Story the

31
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:21,360
Nintendo switch 2 leaks may have officially jumped the shark accessory

32
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:26,720
maker geni has published a video on their website of what might as well be

33
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:31,000
the switch to ostensibly to show off the company's protective case for the

34
00:02:28,519 --> 00:02:34,680
console but they know what they're doing they told press the mockup they're

35
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:40,519
showing here is based on the real console and their website has a popup

36
00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:43,319
admitting they can't keep a secret

37
00:02:40,519 --> 00:02:48,360
oopsie the video shows in detail the magnetic joycons releasing at the push

38
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:54,440
of a button revealing the rumored laser sensor on the rail that may enable mouse

39
00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:59,519
functionality I mean we'll see and the video also provides our best look yet at

40
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:03,599
the switch tw's dock design not only that they they were handing around a 3D

41
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:08,599
printed mockup of the console at their CES Booth first shown in a video by

42
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:12,920
French Tech Outlet numerama it's starting to feel a little ridiculous

43
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:17,640
that Nintendo hasn't unveiled the switch 2 yet as if to emphasize this the

44
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:23,159
Nintendo Japan Twitter account just changed their account Banner to Mario

45
00:03:19,959 --> 00:03:27,080
and Luigi seeming to gesture at empty

46
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:30,680
space just watch Nintendo wait until

47
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:33,599
March 31st and then wait one more day to

48
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:40,400
reveal the greatest April Fool's prank ever there is no switch

49
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:42,280
to Reddit wakes up in a cold sweat meta

50
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:47,000
isn't just trying to appease the incoming Trump Administration they're

51
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:52,560
also humoring the EU and launching a test allowing users to browse eBay

52
00:03:49,439 --> 00:03:55,400
listings on Facebook Marketplace in the

53
00:03:52,560 --> 00:04:01,840
US France and Germany the European commission fined meta over $820 Million

54
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:08,760
last year over Facebook Marketplace being tied to Facebook yeah the EU loves

55
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:11,200
to find people they even find themselves

56
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:15,599
sort of the EU General Court ruled this morning that the European commission

57
00:04:13,239 --> 00:04:20,600
broke its own rules and allowed a German citizens personal data to be sent to

58
00:04:17,919 --> 00:04:26,400
meta servers in the US when they signed in with their Facebook account on an EU

59
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:30,320
web page the EU is now forcing itself to

60
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:32,759
pay that citizen €400 in Damages

61
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:38,400
it's not really a fine in the strict sense of the word but it makes more

62
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,960
sense than going pay up serves me right

63
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:45,600
it's only right that you check out our sponsor s the global eim Service that

64
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:49,240
helps you save big on travel data plans because if you never booked a trip

65
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:54,600
before you may not know this but going to different places isn't free I know

66
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:00,120
that's silly I'm with you on this thankfully s takes a bit of the edge off

67
00:04:57,039 --> 00:05:01,520
with affordable eim plans that cover 60

68
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:05,199
countries and if you're traveling through a bunch of those you can

69
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:09,360
download just one eim for your whole trip because I don't think spending

70
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:14,160
hours every day wandering around looking for free Wi-Fi should be on the

71
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:18,319
itinerary s eim plans are compatible with most iOS and Android devices and if

72
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:24,160
yours isn't compatible you'll get a full refund with chat support available 24/7

get an exclusive 15% discount on s eim data plans just download the s app and

74
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:32,919
use code TechLink to check out Dear journal the smart toilets found me and

75
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:39,800
said they'd let me live if I gave them quick bits I said never and now I'm dead

76
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:44,960
lesson learned all right time for good oldfashioned wacky CES stuff Swip it has

77
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:50,400
unveiled a machine that can essentially reload your phone's battery with a fully

78
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:54,639
charged one in about 2 seconds although it's not your phone's internal battery

79
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:59,240
swipp its's link case compatible with iPhone and Android has a battery inside

80
00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:04,400
which is swapped out for a fresh one when you dip it into the Hub a toaster

81
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:08,479
looking device that stores and charges extra batteries when it all looks pretty

82
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:12,759
Sleek in swipp its's marketing materials but as demonstrated by Allison Johnson

83
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:17,639
from The Verge it actually sounds like a 20-year-old printer but that's a small

84
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:23,280
price to pay to avoid buying anker's new solar panel beach umbrella which is

85
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:26,080
build as an alternative to lugging a

86
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:29,280
battery back up to the beach I mean maybe you're supposed to be touching

87
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:34,039
grass but there's no grass on the beach anyway way this makes sense LG had some

88
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:39,080
fun things to show off other than that years old transparent OLED TV that's

89
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:46,720
actually available to buy now for $60,000 how about the stanm B2 a

90
00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:49,639
portable hangable 27in TV it's even got

91
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:54,360
a kickstand making it really seem like a giant tablet missing a touchcreen it's

92
00:06:52,880 --> 00:07:00,240
still a little confusing but it makes more sense than the model from last year

93
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:03,120
that goes in a suitcase H TV in a suit

94
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:07,680
case I got one but the best thing I think LG showed off was the aerocat

95
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:13,400
tower a version of one of the company's aot Tower air purifiers with a cradle on

96
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:18,919
top so a cat can sit on it now that's Innovation where are all the other

97
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:22,520
companies putting cats on things yui

98
00:07:18,919 --> 00:07:24,560
showed off their 3in1 E20 Robot vacuum

99
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:29,879
so named because you can remove the actual vacuum part and use it as a Dyson

100
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:34,199
style handheld with multiple attachments which will also get you more powerful

101
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:39,080
suction it's one of those rare CES products that's simultaneously practical

102
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:44,400
and also kind of wacky but wait till you see Robo Rock's vacuum with a robot ARM

103
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:48,639
in it but not right now that's for the that's for the weirdest Tech at CES

104
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:54,159
episode on Friday I'm saving it a company called Halliday showed off their

105
00:07:50,919 --> 00:07:56,560
smart glasses which estu more popular

106
00:07:54,159 --> 00:08:01,759
wave guide built-in displays for their own Digi window design it can be

107
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:07,280
controlled either by voice or a control ring on your finger which can of course

108
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:11,199
summon an AI agent I'm sure there's more cool things about these glasses but I

109
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:15,000
was so distracted by the voiceovers in the trailer I think it's retro Revival

110
00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:19,120
people want that nostalgic feel but with a modern

111
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:24,520
twist that's the one I love it let's explore some design concept and Chinese

112
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:28,120
car company byd has shown off their Yang

113
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:31,000
Wang un9 electric sports car apparently

114
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:36,560
it means like admire or something so I a fair you know anyway they showed off the

115
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:40,120
car bunny hopping over obstacles at 120

116
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:42,919
kmph including a sizable pothole a bunch

117
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:46,640
of spikes and worst of all a chalk rainbow wouldn't want to disappoint the

118
00:08:44,839 --> 00:08:51,320
kids who drew that oh it ruined it anyway well it was technically graffiti

119
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:55,800
those kids are probably going straight to a CCP jail anyway but not you you're

120
00:08:53,959 --> 00:09:01,079
coming right back here tomorrow for more Tech news because I'll be damned if I

121
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:05,600
have to endure this pain alone pH ah oh wait I'm dead I forgot ah
