1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,759
i saw you there wishing for some tech news well call me james the genius does

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:12,719
gene i don't get it oh genie oh i get it

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:14,799
your wish is my command bam NVIDIA's rtx

4
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:18,880
40 series gpus could be arriving sooner than expected if some reports from the

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:22,960
industry insiders are to be believed and while you may be inclined to think that

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:27,439
this is bad news as if the market needed more overpriced flagship graphics cards

7
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:31,760
there might be a little nugget of hope hidden in there like a congealed lump of

8
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:35,440
brown sugar and otherwise secondary pastry or like those little clumps in

9
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:41,440
your hot chocolate that you try to spoon on the side anyway these reports indicate that NVIDIA may be getting

10
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:45,039
additional foundries like tsmc and ase technology to help produce chips in

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,559
addition to samsung which could alleviate some of the strain on supply

12
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:53,280
when the 40 series cards launched sometime in 2022 i mean that's a long

13
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:57,039
that's a lot of time that's a whole year NVIDIA is also expected to launch

14
00:00:55,039 --> 00:01:03,520
refreshed versions of some of its old cards including an rtx 3090 ti and a 12

15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,239
Gigabyte for some reason rtx 2060 and

16
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:10,640
then there's new gaming gpus from chinese company ino silicon innovation silicon

17
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:15,119
together which could address some of the demand in china so if you find yourself

18
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:19,119
spiraling into sadness because it seems like you'll be stuck with your gtx 970

19
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:22,560
forever remember frames don't win games

20
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:26,799
you do baby okay frames they sometimes you're

21
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:30,640
screwed google's pixel 6 is a proper upper class can we still say that

22
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:36,240
flagship phone and accordingly some users are reporting it simply refuses to

23
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:40,320
charge with cables it deems low quality the phone reportedly doesn't even bother

24
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:46,560
to give a warning message it just sits there inert with a cheap USB-C cable

25
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:50,560
plugged in as if it didn't feel a thing a good a google support page does warn

26
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:54,479
that some cables and power adapters may not work with pixel phones so it's

27
00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:57,920
likely that this is a feature not a bug as Android police points out while this

28
00:01:56,159 --> 00:02:02,719
may be annoying for pixel 6 owners who got a you know a cheap cable for a steal

29
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:07,680
of a deal on black friday online uh low quality cables that charge your

30
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:11,760
devices very slowly can damage batteries it just would have been nice if google

31
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,800
actually included a cable or an adapter in the box at least a cable if they're

32
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,400
going to roll this feature out with the pixel six as is this all looks like

33
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,319
google was trying to pull a hilarious prank on us

34
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:27,440
what you're at one percent just joking you're at zero gotcha

35
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:32,000
and qualcomm has announced its latest flagship ARM-based CPU along with the

36
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:37,440
new naming scheme the new chip is called the snapdragon 8 gen 1 which is so much

37
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:40,000
easier than just snapdragon 898 or whatever they are going to call this

38
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:45,519
before that was sarcasm along with faster performance the 8 gen

39
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,480
1 will bring support for always on cameras and phones which i'm assuming is

40
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:53,760
something that almost no one asked for we're gonna have to start taping over our phone cameras like we do with

41
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:58,480
laptops but the really cool qualcomm news is leaked slides showing a dev kit

42
00:02:56,239 --> 00:03:02,800
for the Android handheld gaming device it's building in collaboration with

43
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:08,319
razer it apparently runs a gaming focused snapdragon g3 x chip and is

44
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:11,440
horribly ugly i mean what is that it's like it's like they looked at the steam

45
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,120
deck and asked how do we make this worse now it's time

46
00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:18,720
for the best the quick bits brought to you by the drop center as their hd 8x

47
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:23,840
headphones they're based on the well-loved hd800s aka the booze with a

48
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,760
new blue colorway added low end extension and adjusted driver damping

49
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:31,120
for superior audio balance their open back design allows auditorium-like

50
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:36,239
acoustics for accurate sound production and they come with a detachable 10 foot

51
00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:40,080
cable with a quarter inch plug so order yours today at the link below or just

52
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:47,120
keep listening to garbage quick bits honestly no joke it's

53
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:49,120
the quick bits no word of a lie bella

54
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:53,280
twitter's new policy on sharing private media has caused some confusion with

55
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:57,519
many reporting the bird app is banning posting images or video of people

56
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:01,760
without their consent but this is highly inaccurate the platform will still allow

57
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:06,319
anyone to post any media they like but users can now request specific images

58
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:09,840
and video of themselves to be taken down the move is meant to reduce harassment

59
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,519
much like twitch's new machine learning tool that will flag people in chat that

60
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:18,560
it suspects maybe trying to avoid bands by using alternate accounts troll

61
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:21,040
hunting season is apparently open

62
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:24,080
the most dangerous game are you a member of the healthy

63
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:29,440
community that microsoft somehow managed to develop around their chromium-based

64
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:31,759
edge browser well you

65
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:36,000
because now microsoft has built in a buy now pay later tool called zip part of

66
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:39,440
what makes edge so attractive is its lightweight nature so adding what is

67
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:44,560
essentially bloatware is a classic way to anger users and remind us all that

68
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:48,400
the old microsoft is still in there somewhere they'll get you on bing yet

69
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:52,880
just wait the uk's competition and markets authority has told facebook i

70
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:57,919
mean meta that it must sell gift sharing platform giffy after is it jiffy that

71
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:02,080
actually makes more sense after finding that the acquisition completed last year

72
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:06,560
could reduce competition between social platforms meta says they'll appeal the

73
00:05:04,479 --> 00:05:10,639
decision obviously which represents the first time the cma has blocked a major

74
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:15,840
tech deal and it may not be the last either editor can you uh put a thought

75
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,800
bubble up here with NVIDIA and ARM that's what i'm referencing that's not

76
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:24,720
happening you may have seen some sensational headlines this week claiming that researchers had created living

77
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:28,320
robots out of frog stem cells that could reproduce and while the little critters

78
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:32,560
are impressive and cute as ours technical points out they're not really

79
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:36,000
reproducing they can spin around in circles which can end up collecting a

80
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:40,479
bunch of other loose stem cells into a ball which scientists can then

81
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:44,720
manipulate in to the same pac-man shape as the other so-called xenobots so while

82
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,080
this is undoubtedly cool who doesn't like a ball

83
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:50,960
i wouldn't be worried about swarms of self-replicating frog balls taking over

84
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,120
your town just yet i would be worried about this

85
00:05:53,199 --> 00:06:00,240
eco-friendly plastic alternative though because it's made with vegetable oil and

86
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:03,919
salmon sperm not even in my top 10 list of fish sperm

87
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:07,360
but generally with plastics possibly decreasing sperm counts we'd probably

88
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,319
run out of material before long is this even food safe it's no longer safe to

89
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:14,479
continue this episode so come back on friday for more tech news and i'll give

90
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,199
you one more wish you can only use it for tech news
