00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:07.680
dear Journal I've been covering CES 2025

00:00:03.959 --> 00:00:10.440
for 3 days now the Red Bull has run out

00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:17.039
drums sound in the distance probably beaten by a smart toilet with robot arms

00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:20.640
or something it won't be long

00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:24.000
now AMD's lips are still sealed when it

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:26.480
comes to their nextg gpus but IGN

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:34.680
managed to secretly run the internal Benchmark in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 on

00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:39.000
the r X 970 non-xt in AMD's CES Booth

00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:41.480
getting an average FPS of 99 from this

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:47.520
IGN estimates the card might perform somewhere close to NVIDIA's RTX 480

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:51.879
super using some kind of PCY nerd derivative of girl math I couldn't

00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:56.879
follow it but the point is AMD's apparent decision to at the last minute

00:00:55.160 --> 00:01:02.359
withhold all information about their nextg gpus except their names has only

00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:05.640
made everyone more curious about them a lesson they already would have learned

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

00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:16.159
have those even AMD's GPU board Partners seem confused about what's going on

00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:21.680
powercolor allowed Leo and the kit Guru team to look at their RX 970s while

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:25.799
pretending that they weren't come in Matt come close and look at the

00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:29.920
invisible non-existent graphics cards meanwhile Tom's Hardware seems to have

00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:36.200
inadvertently published a photo of the the navi 48 chip powering the gpus

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:39.840
leading leaky Twitter guy David Wong to

00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:42.040
estimate the die size at around 390 mm

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:48.159
squared which is slightly larger than the ad 103 chip powering NVIDIA's RTX

00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:51.640
480 we have gotten one concrete piece of

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:56.159
information though ASUS revealed both RX

00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:57.960
970 variants have 16 GB of vram which

00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:02.640
they apparently weren't supposed to reveal as they took down the page

00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:07.320
shortly after AMD is kind of acting like that friend who will plan a surprise

00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:12.720
party for you but hide it horribly so you have to act surprised when it

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:16.720
happens which has happened to me so many times such a relatable Story the

00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:21.360
Nintendo switch 2 leaks may have officially jumped the shark accessory

00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:26.720
maker geni has published a video on their website of what might as well be

00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:31.000
the switch to ostensibly to show off the company's protective case for the

00:02:28.519 --> 00:02:34.680
console but they know what they're doing they told press the mockup they're

00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:40.519
showing here is based on the real console and their website has a popup

00:02:37.519 --> 00:02:43.319
admitting they can't keep a secret

00:02:40.519 --> 00:02:48.360
oopsie the video shows in detail the magnetic joycons releasing at the push

00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:54.440
of a button revealing the rumored laser sensor on the rail that may enable mouse

00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:59.519
functionality I mean we'll see and the video also provides our best look yet at

00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:03.599
the switch tw's dock design not only that they they were handing around a 3D

00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:08.599
printed mockup of the console at their CES Booth first shown in a video by

00:03:06.040 --> 00:03:12.920
French Tech Outlet numerama it's starting to feel a little ridiculous

00:03:10.959 --> 00:03:17.640
that Nintendo hasn't unveiled the switch 2 yet as if to emphasize this the

00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:23.159
Nintendo Japan Twitter account just changed their account Banner to Mario

00:03:19.959 --> 00:03:27.080
and Luigi seeming to gesture at empty

00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:30.680
space just watch Nintendo wait until

00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:33.599
March 31st and then wait one more day to

00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:40.400
reveal the greatest April Fool's prank ever there is no switch

00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:42.280
to Reddit wakes up in a cold sweat meta

00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:47.000
isn't just trying to appease the incoming Trump Administration they're

00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:52.560
also humoring the EU and launching a test allowing users to browse eBay

00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:55.400
listings on Facebook Marketplace in the

00:03:52.560 --> 00:04:01.840
US France and Germany the European commission fined meta over $820 Million

00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:08.760
last year over Facebook Marketplace being tied to Facebook yeah the EU loves

00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:11.200
to find people they even find themselves

00:04:08.760 --> 00:04:15.599
sort of the EU General Court ruled this morning that the European commission

00:04:13.239 --> 00:04:20.600
broke its own rules and allowed a German citizens personal data to be sent to

00:04:17.919 --> 00:04:26.400
meta servers in the US when they signed in with their Facebook account on an EU

00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:30.320
web page the EU is now forcing itself to

00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:32.759
pay that citizen €400 in Damages

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

00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:39.960
sense than going pay up serves me right

00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:45.600
it's only right that you check out our sponsor s the global eim Service that

00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:49.240
helps you save big on travel data plans because if you never booked a trip

00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:54.600
before you may not know this but going to different places isn't free I know

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

00:04:57.039 --> 00:05:01.520
with affordable eim plans that cover 60

00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:05.199
countries and if you're traveling through a bunch of those you can

00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:09.360
download just one eim for your whole trip because I don't think spending

00:05:07.320 --> 00:05:14.160
hours every day wandering around looking for free Wi-Fi should be on the

00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:18.319
itinerary s eim plans are compatible with most iOS and Android devices and if

00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:24.160
yours isn't compatible you'll get a full refund with chat support available 24/7

00:05:21.280 --> 00:05:28.479
get an exclusive 15% discount on s eim data plans just download the s app and

00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:32.919
use code TechLink to check out Dear journal the smart toilets found me and

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

00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:44.960
lesson learned all right time for good oldfashioned wacky CES stuff Swip it has

00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:50.400
unveiled a machine that can essentially reload your phone's battery with a fully

00:05:47.440 --> 00:05:54.639
charged one in about 2 seconds although it's not your phone's internal battery

00:05:52.440 --> 00:05:59.240
swipp its's link case compatible with iPhone and Android has a battery inside

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

00:06:02.479 --> 00:06:08.479
looking device that stores and charges extra batteries when it all looks pretty

00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:12.759
Sleek in swipp its's marketing materials but as demonstrated by Allison Johnson

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

00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:23.280
price to pay to avoid buying anker's new solar panel beach umbrella which is

00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:26.080
build as an alternative to lugging a

00:06:23.280 --> 00:06:29.280
battery back up to the beach I mean maybe you're supposed to be touching

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

00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:39.080
fun things to show off other than that years old transparent OLED TV that's

00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:46.720
actually available to buy now for $60,000 how about the stanm B2 a

00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:49.639
portable hangable 27in TV it's even got

00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:54.360
a kickstand making it really seem like a giant tablet missing a touchcreen it's

00:06:52.880 --> 00:07:00.240
still a little confusing but it makes more sense than the model from last year

00:06:56.440 --> 00:07:03.120
that goes in a suitcase H TV in a suit

00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:07.680
case I got one but the best thing I think LG showed off was the aerocat

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

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

00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:22.520
companies putting cats on things yui

00:07:18.919 --> 00:07:24.560
showed off their 3in1 E20 Robot vacuum

00:07:22.520 --> 00:07:29.879
so named because you can remove the actual vacuum part and use it as a Dyson

00:07:27.400 --> 00:07:34.199
style handheld with multiple attachments which will also get you more powerful

00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:39.080
suction it's one of those rare CES products that's simultaneously practical

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

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

00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:54.159
episode on Friday I'm saving it a company called Halliday showed off their

00:07:50.919 --> 00:07:56.560
smart glasses which estu more popular

00:07:54.159 --> 00:08:01.759
wave guide built-in displays for their own Digi window design it can be

00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:07.280
controlled either by voice or a control ring on your finger which can of course

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

00:08:09.080 --> 00:08:15.000
was so distracted by the voiceovers in the trailer I think it's retro Revival

00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:19.120
people want that nostalgic feel but with a modern

00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:24.520
twist that's the one I love it let's explore some design concept and Chinese

00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:28.120
car company byd has shown off their Yang

00:08:24.520 --> 00:08:31.000
Wang un9 electric sports car apparently

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

00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:40.120
car bunny hopping over obstacles at 120

00:08:36.560 --> 00:08:42.919
kmph including a sizable pothole a bunch

00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:46.640
of spikes and worst of all a chalk rainbow wouldn't want to disappoint the

00:08:44.839 --> 00:08:51.320
kids who drew that oh it ruined it anyway well it was technically graffiti

00:08:49.880 --> 00:08:55.800
those kids are probably going straight to a CCP jail anyway but not you you're

00:08:53.959 --> 00:09:01.079
coming right back here tomorrow for more Tech news because I'll be damned if I

00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:05.600
have to endure this pain alone pH ah oh wait I'm dead I forgot ah
