00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.759
i saw you there wishing for some tech news well call me james the genius does

00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:12.719
gene i don't get it oh genie oh i get it

00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:14.799
your wish is my command bam NVIDIA's rtx

00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:18.880
40 series gpus could be arriving sooner than expected if some reports from the

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:22.960
industry insiders are to be believed and while you may be inclined to think that

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:27.439
this is bad news as if the market needed more overpriced flagship graphics cards

00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:31.760
there might be a little nugget of hope hidden in there like a congealed lump of

00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:35.440
brown sugar and otherwise secondary pastry or like those little clumps in

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

00:00:38.559 --> 00:00:45.039
additional foundries like tsmc and ase technology to help produce chips in

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:48.559
addition to samsung which could alleviate some of the strain on supply

00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:53.280
when the 40 series cards launched sometime in 2022 i mean that's a long

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

00:00:55.039 --> 00:01:03.520
refreshed versions of some of its old cards including an rtx 3090 ti and a 12

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:04.239
Gigabyte for some reason rtx 2060 and

00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:10.640
then there's new gaming gpus from chinese company ino silicon innovation silicon

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:15.119
together which could address some of the demand in china so if you find yourself

00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:19.119
spiraling into sadness because it seems like you'll be stuck with your gtx 970

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:22.560
forever remember frames don't win games

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:26.799
you do baby okay frames they sometimes you're

00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:30.640
screwed google's pixel 6 is a proper upper class can we still say that

00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:36.240
flagship phone and accordingly some users are reporting it simply refuses to

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:40.320
charge with cables it deems low quality the phone reportedly doesn't even bother

00:01:37.759 --> 00:01:46.560
to give a warning message it just sits there inert with a cheap USB-C cable

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

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:54.479
that some cables and power adapters may not work with pixel phones so it's

00:01:52.479 --> 00:01:57.920
likely that this is a feature not a bug as Android police points out while this

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

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:07.680
of a deal on black friday online uh low quality cables that charge your

00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:11.760
devices very slowly can damage batteries it just would have been nice if google

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

00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:18.400
going to roll this feature out with the pixel six as is this all looks like

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:22.319
google was trying to pull a hilarious prank on us

00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:27.440
what you're at one percent just joking you're at zero gotcha

00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:32.000
and qualcomm has announced its latest flagship ARM-based CPU along with the

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

00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:40.000
easier than just snapdragon 898 or whatever they are going to call this

00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:45.519
before that was sarcasm along with faster performance the 8 gen

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:48.480
1 will bring support for always on cameras and phones which i'm assuming is

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

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:58.480
laptops but the really cool qualcomm news is leaked slides showing a dev kit

00:02:56.239 --> 00:03:02.800
for the Android handheld gaming device it's building in collaboration with

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:08.319
razer it apparently runs a gaming focused snapdragon g3 x chip and is

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

00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:15.120
deck and asked how do we make this worse now it's time

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

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:23.840
headphones they're based on the well-loved hd800s aka the booze with a

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:27.760
new blue colorway added low end extension and adjusted driver damping

00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:31.120
for superior audio balance their open back design allows auditorium-like

00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:36.239
acoustics for accurate sound production and they come with a detachable 10 foot

00:03:34.239 --> 00:03:40.080
cable with a quarter inch plug so order yours today at the link below or just

00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:47.120
keep listening to garbage quick bits honestly no joke it's

00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:49.120
the quick bits no word of a lie bella

00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:53.280
twitter's new policy on sharing private media has caused some confusion with

00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:57.519
many reporting the bird app is banning posting images or video of people

00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:01.760
without their consent but this is highly inaccurate the platform will still allow

00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:06.319
anyone to post any media they like but users can now request specific images

00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:09.840
and video of themselves to be taken down the move is meant to reduce harassment

00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:13.519
much like twitch's new machine learning tool that will flag people in chat that

00:04:11.519 --> 00:04:18.560
it suspects maybe trying to avoid bands by using alternate accounts troll

00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:21.040
hunting season is apparently open

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:24.080
the most dangerous game are you a member of the healthy

00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:29.440
community that microsoft somehow managed to develop around their chromium-based

00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:31.759
edge browser well you

00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:36.000
because now microsoft has built in a buy now pay later tool called zip part of

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.440
what makes edge so attractive is its lightweight nature so adding what is

00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:44.560
essentially bloatware is a classic way to anger users and remind us all that

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:48.400
the old microsoft is still in there somewhere they'll get you on bing yet

00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:52.880
just wait the uk's competition and markets authority has told facebook i

00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:57.919
mean meta that it must sell gift sharing platform giffy after is it jiffy that

00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:02.080
actually makes more sense after finding that the acquisition completed last year

00:04:59.919 --> 00:05:06.560
could reduce competition between social platforms meta says they'll appeal the

00:05:04.479 --> 00:05:10.639
decision obviously which represents the first time the cma has blocked a major

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

00:05:12.960 --> 00:05:18.800
bubble up here with NVIDIA and ARM that's what i'm referencing that's not

00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:24.720
happening you may have seen some sensational headlines this week claiming that researchers had created living

00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:28.320
robots out of frog stem cells that could reproduce and while the little critters

00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:32.560
are impressive and cute as ours technical points out they're not really

00:05:30.080 --> 00:05:36.000
reproducing they can spin around in circles which can end up collecting a

00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:40.479
bunch of other loose stem cells into a ball which scientists can then

00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:44.720
manipulate in to the same pac-man shape as the other so-called xenobots so while

00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:48.080
this is undoubtedly cool who doesn't like a ball

00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.960
i wouldn't be worried about swarms of self-replicating frog balls taking over

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.120
your town just yet i would be worried about this

00:05:53.199 --> 00:06:00.240
eco-friendly plastic alternative though because it's made with vegetable oil and

00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:03.919
salmon sperm not even in my top 10 list of fish sperm

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:07.360
but generally with plastics possibly decreasing sperm counts we'd probably

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

00:06:08.960 --> 00:06:14.479
continue this episode so come back on friday for more tech news and i'll give

00:06:12.400 --> 00:06:17.199
you one more wish you can only use it for tech news
