see I knew you'd be back from more Tech news didn't I say they'd be back yeah I
totally called it you love Tech news you're obsessed a prominent leaker
claims AMD is preparing a 32 GB version
of its Radeon RX 970 which is my favorite name XT which some may remember
as the graphics card AMD tried to announce at CES before metaphorically
tackling itself off the stage it hurt itself in its confusion the leaker who
goes by uh Jen Jang Xiao said on the
chip hell forums that the Third 32 GB 970 XT will launch this year sometime
after the vanilla 9070 series which are expected to feature 16 GB of VM and a
possible MSRP of 600 to 700 which is
that's just nothing compared to what we're used to according to recently leaked retailer listings but that's
converted from Canadian dollars which are notoriously untrustworthy Shifty the
leaks coincide with rumors of NVIDIA delaying the launch of its RX 5070
non-ti from February to early March
possibly to mess around with the launch of the RX 970 and 970 XT if the 5070
launch is anything like the 80 and 5090 launches hardly anyone will actually get
cards but I'm glad NVIDIA is having fun just messing with them you know what
else I feel is fun trying to figure out why GPU connectors are melting again the
redditor that first reported melting issues with his 90 sent his damaged 12vt
high power cable to YouTuber derau who not only observed temperatures that were
too damn high but also o uneven power distribution among the ca's individual
wires on both the damaged cable and his own as other more different YouTuber
buildzoid points out this may be due to the way that the RTX 490 and 90 detect
and distribute power is different from the 3090 in that it's worse further
complicating things the manufacturer of the redditor's thirdparty cable that
melted mod DIY just published guidance recommending RTX 590 owners only use
newer 12volt 2x6 CA which have significant enhancements over
12vt high power cables but that contradicts guidance from companies like
corsera and cic which claims the only difference is in the GPU and power
supply sockets not the cables themselves now everyone's looking into it PC
integrator Falcon Northwest says they can't reproduce the issue but new site
Dark Side of gaming just checked their 490 and found a melted cable after 2
years of having it run just fine well this has certainly been a wakeup call
I'm going to start regularly checking to if any of my parts have been melting
doctors recommend some parts melt faster than others what is this ear wax on my
shirt what many are calling the first major AI copyright case has been decided
with mediate Tech conment Thompson Reuters winning the lawsuit it filed
against the AI startup Ross intelligence back in 2020 now you might be thinking
hey that's pre-chat gbt which was the first AI thing ever and honestly you
might be right because what does the AI even mean anymore you tell me it's a
sandwich anyway Ross used thousands of legal summaries obtained from Thompson
reuter's Westlaw database to train an AI system and a judge ruled that behavior
was not protected by a fair use defense
critically however as mentioned in the ruling this AI was not generative AI
when prompted it didn't write anything new it just surfaced existing material
that it was trained on so it's less chat GPT and more old Google before it told
you to eat rocks so despite the headlines it's unclear how useful the
ruling will be as a precedent for the various generative AI copyright cases
currently in the pipe until that's decided you might as well try adobe's
newly available Firefly video generator Riley did and he ended up with these
horrifying nightmare versions of himself personally I think that one's cute yay I
didn't want to sleep anyway or you could make something that

huh typical Tech news Freak You Can't Get Enough here's some quick bits Apple
has launched the Apple TV app for Android mobile devices so Android users
can finally subscribe to Apple TV plus and watch the best show ever made
Severance right right I'm right apple is
also finally allowing users to migrate their purchased movies music apps or
other content from one account to another primary account something Apple
Fans have wanted forever two great moves from Apple there's been no mention of EU
involvement but I feel like they're probably just standing off screen with a
knife think about your users oh yes great news for anyone who
doesn't prefer to empty their savings account on a phone Apple has reportedly
delayed the launch of its newest iPhone SE model to next week Google pixels 9A
has been thoroughly leaked showing a barely their camera bump and an expected
launch date of March 19 and the Samsung Galaxy a56 5G apparently looks like this
and should also be coming very soon if renders from EV leaks are accurate but
between you and me the phone you have right now is probably fine but what are
you telling them what are you saying that's good enough James by the time you
look at these photos you'll have bad eyes people need to keep stimulating the
economy Google Maps has officially relabeled the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf
of America for us users Mexicans will still see Gulf of Mexico while the rest
of the world will have to see both and decide for themselves Bing Maps tried
its best to join the party but but could only manage to label it the Gulf of
Mexico two times eventually it got in line though along with Apple maps I mean
you don't want to end up like the Associated Press which got barred from
the White House briefings because it didn't report things the right way do
you and some Jeep owners have reported seeing an ad for extended warranty
coverage on their vehicle's infotainment display every time they stop proving
that even if you go on a drive to have a little thinky time for yourself there's
no escape from ination Jeep parent company stantis says that the ads are
actually a glitch and they're working on fixing it see a full screen ad in your
car while you're driving just accidentally manifested itself in the
code these things happen AI is crazy they do have notoriously
infotainment now make sure you come back on Friday for more Tech news we all know
how you get when you don't get your fix nobody wants to see that it's rough come
get your fix with the James Riley mix so where the you at Punk shut the
up
