00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:07.080
today in Tech news events occurred and person slash group is responsible others

00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:12.420
say person slash group has been making the events occur for a long time period

00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:14.759
more on that right now the great ASUS

00:00:12.420 --> 00:00:18.660
warranty Scandal of 2023 that's what I'm calling it has gotten a little more

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:23.400
interesting Hardware Busters have alleged that ASUS isn't the only am5

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:30.119
motherboard manufacturer exceeding the 1.3 volt SOC voltage limit meant to

00:00:26.340 --> 00:00:33.180
protect ryzen 7000 x3d series CPUs from

00:00:30.119 --> 00:00:36.000
sploding after testing a Gigabyte auras

00:00:33.180 --> 00:00:41.219
Master x670e board Hardware Busters found that the soc voltage exceeded 1.36

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:46.680
volts after updating the BIOS that supposedly applied the voltage safety

00:00:43.379 --> 00:00:49.079
cap not so much vindicating ASUS as

00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:53.280
implying Gigabyte and potentially other motherboard makers need to step up in

00:00:51.239 --> 00:00:58.079
the making sure your products don't blow up Department

00:00:55.620 --> 00:01:01.680
like none of us did let's do it now after this analysis went up buildzoid

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:06.119
went to Twitter to claim that Gamer's Nexus was measuring the voltages wrong

00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:12.119
in their investigation of ASUS's motherboards and GN destroyed them with

00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:15.479
facts by just politely disagreeing and

00:01:12.119 --> 00:01:18.299
stating how they measured their results

00:01:15.479 --> 00:01:22.320
nerds are discussing methodology and it is getting

00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:27.180
on Friday Hardware unboxed went off on a fan for suggesting they needed to keep

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:31.020
their credibility stating they weren't going to stop reviewing ASUS products

00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:35.939
because a reviewing their products is one way to call them out and B Because

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:40.320
finding tech companies that haven't done a ton of anti-consumer crap is like

00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:46.680
finding a milkshake in a ton of crap like cool you found a milkshake but

00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:51.180
are you sure it's chocolate it's a poop joke to be fair to ASUS they did just

00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:55.560
publish an update clarifying that installing beta bioses to fix this

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:59.820
problem does not void your warranty that's right faced with a sizable

00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:03.659
controversy over their lack of concern for their customers the company thought

00:02:01.380 --> 00:02:08.240
wow we should definitely address this after the weekend you coming to beers

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:13.020
tonight that's what they say in Taiwan right man

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:18.780
when we did our ASUS poetry slam on Friday we had no idea it would generate

00:02:15.420 --> 00:02:20.220
so much drama so many feelings clearly

00:02:18.780 --> 00:02:25.260
about us people were crying in the audience apple is prepping for a win by

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:30.060
ramping up testing of their next gen M3 chips according to German's sermon

00:02:27.660 --> 00:02:35.459
Apple's been squirming to remove the worm in their Mac sales figures Jacob

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:40.379
isn't here but he's here in spirit their sales figures which were down 31 last

00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:45.000
quarter sure they could reduce MacBook prices and make it more affordable to

00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:49.080
buy one of their great products but what if instead of that they use the more

00:02:47.220 --> 00:02:54.140
expensive three nanometer process for their M3 chips so they can add more

00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:54.140
cores and more memory

00:02:54.959 --> 00:03:01.319
based indeed German says the Baseline M3

00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:03.420
Pro will have two more CPU and GPU cores

00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:08.040
than the M2 Pro which itself had two more CPU and GPU cores than the M1 Pro

00:03:05.700 --> 00:03:13.560
sensing a pattern every day there will be another core until something changes

00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:16.019
we're going to add cores however German

00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:21.060
determined that the M3 Pro currently being tested has 36 gigabytes of memory

00:03:18.780 --> 00:03:26.280
which is four more than the highest spec of the M2 Pro MacBooks so like two 18

00:03:24.239 --> 00:03:31.680
Gigabyte sticks in dual Channel this makes me physically uncomfortable

00:03:28.500 --> 00:03:33.599
it would be so cool oh just so I can

00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:38.340
think of something else Mark German said the long-awaited 15-inch MacBook Air

00:03:35.940 --> 00:03:41.819
will come out equipped with an M2 Chip just in time for summer so get ready for

00:03:40.500 --> 00:03:49.260
that macbook's announcement to be overshadowed by the announcement of Apple's VR headset at WWDC you can go

00:03:46.379 --> 00:03:53.760
live in Apple's world Tim Cook will sing you to sleep and the

00:03:51.959 --> 00:03:57.900
European Union has given their blessing for Microsoft's acquisition of

00:03:55.620 --> 00:04:01.560
Activision Blizzard the company that had a dream of being judged not by its

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:05.879
Leader's history of sexual harassment allegations but by the content of its

00:04:04.200 --> 00:04:10.439
game Library yeah gonna leave that alone sometimes you

00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:14.580
just make a Martin Luther King joke for no reason and the EU didn't do this for

00:04:12.299 --> 00:04:18.780
nothing the merger approval is subject to conditions that Microsoft suggested

00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:23.580
to assuage concerns that this would affect the cloud gaming slash cloud game

00:04:21.060 --> 00:04:28.080
streaming Market which a lot of people care about the European commission's

00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:32.340
concerns were that since cloud gaming is still a young Market the availability of

00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:36.360
games like Call of Duty could affect it if Microsoft were to make Cod exclusive

00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:40.979
to Game Pass ultimate the company would be able to virtually monopolize the

00:04:38.940 --> 00:04:45.960
pre-teens who just learned a new slur demographic a key segment for

00:04:43.320 --> 00:04:49.320
advertisers in fact the UK's competition and markets Authority blocked the merger

00:04:47.880 --> 00:04:53.639
because of similar concerns about the cloud gaming Market as a compromise

00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:57.540
Microsoft offered a 10-year plan to provide licenses to consumers in the

00:04:55.620 --> 00:05:02.100
European economic area that would allow them to stream any Activision Blizzard

00:04:59.520 --> 00:05:06.120
PC games they own using any streaming service and a corresponding license to

00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:09.720
any streaming service platforms to provide that capability

00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:13.620
so what happens when that license agreement is up who cares we'll probably

00:05:11.820 --> 00:05:18.660
all be killed by self-aware AI by that so I'm looking forward to it live for

00:05:15.540 --> 00:05:21.660
now now it's time for quick bits bro

00:05:18.660 --> 00:05:23.400
quick bits not in my city thanks Paradox

00:05:21.660 --> 00:05:27.900
interactive for sponsoring this video City skylines is a city building

00:05:25.740 --> 00:05:32.280
simulation game but it's not your regular City Sim City skylines allows

00:05:30.539 --> 00:05:36.720
you to build a public transit routes construct highways and you can even buy

00:05:34.440 --> 00:05:41.520
neighboring plots of land increasing the size of your city

00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:45.000
it's not all fun and games you'll need to manage your city's budget while

00:05:43.139 --> 00:05:49.259
dealing with issues like traffic and sewage systems to keep crap running

00:05:46.860 --> 00:05:54.539
downhill now you can play it for free from May 18th to 22nd and find the mayor

00:05:52.259 --> 00:05:58.800
that's been inside you all along I bribed the mayor so we could include all

00:05:56.699 --> 00:06:03.479
five quick pits just don't tell anyone the pixel 7 is this Summer's

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:07.560
hottest phone a sentence that will make sense once I let you know that pixel 6

00:06:05.280 --> 00:06:11.280
and 7 users have reported as sudden unexplained bug that's causing their

00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:15.539
phones to overheat the apparent cause is a recent app update that's causing the

00:06:13.259 --> 00:06:21.000
Google app to suck up battery life like a wild cherry Capri Sun

00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:25.259
in some cases these issues have cut usable screen time in half the phones

00:06:23.280 --> 00:06:29.819
are likewise charging slower and running dangerously hot prompting some users to

00:06:27.479 --> 00:06:33.120
turn their pixels into popsicles by sticking them in the freezer nutritious

00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:38.160
and delicious and they take great photos a great summer treat users have tried

00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:42.720
rolling back to a previous update and even full Factory resets neither of

00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:46.979
which seem to work all there's left to do is wait for Google to hurry up and

00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:51.479
fix their 600 butt warmers which is of little Comfort here in western Canada

00:06:48.300 --> 00:06:53.699
where the country is literally on fire a

00:06:51.479 --> 00:06:58.979
startup called Telly wants to give you a TV for free all it costs is everything

00:06:56.880 --> 00:07:04.500
the television comes with a second banner-like screen which will be fully

00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:07.020
or partially taken out by ads pretty

00:07:04.500 --> 00:07:11.880
much at all times and the TV May collect information about the content you watch

00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:16.440
and may also track the physical presence of you and any other individuals using

00:07:14.039 --> 00:07:21.360
the TV at any time now as we mentioned you can get the TV for free or you can

00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:27.360
opt out of sharing all your data and pay 500 to keep it if you are okay with

00:07:25.500 --> 00:07:33.960
installing a billboard in your living room if I let them install a probe in my head

00:07:30.419 --> 00:07:36.060
will they pay me the dystopia is here

00:07:33.960 --> 00:07:40.380
I've always wanted cyberpunk 2077 to be real a private company called Reya space

00:07:38.340 --> 00:07:45.599
activity has received funding from the U.S space force to rescue the Spitzer

00:07:43.259 --> 00:07:49.740
Space Telescope The Observatory was launched 20 years ago and remained

00:07:47.460 --> 00:07:53.520
mostly operational until three years ago when communication stopped working I'm

00:07:51.960 --> 00:07:58.680
not saying it's aliens but in a plan backed by multiple groups

00:07:56.340 --> 00:08:03.360
including Lockheed Martin a small craft would be sent to act as a relay between

00:08:00.840 --> 00:08:07.080
Spitzer and Earth within spitzing distance you could say the eventual hope

00:08:05.280 --> 00:08:11.160
is to use the telescope as an early warning system for Dangerous asteroids

00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:15.720
because if we have enough time we won't have to send Bruce Willis and Ben

00:08:12.780 --> 00:08:19.979
Affleck again they are so tired of this Zelda tears of the Kingdom players are

00:08:17.940 --> 00:08:26.000
getting creative by using the in-game mechanics to build tanks planes and even

00:08:22.620 --> 00:08:29.460
mechs but also many many many

00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:31.680
lots of penises there's just so many you

00:08:29.460 --> 00:08:38.520
can build anything more like tears of the schwingdom am I right okay can make

00:08:34.860 --> 00:08:40.680
anything you can imagine which is mostly

00:08:38.520 --> 00:08:44.640
Nintendo severely overestimated my imagination perhaps as revenge for the

00:08:42.839 --> 00:08:49.500
golden turd players received for rescuing all 900 koroks in breath of the

00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:54.180
wild a lot of Creative Energy has gone towards torturing the annoying creatures

00:08:51.540 --> 00:08:58.140
in different ways involving crucifixions and I have to assume penises as well as

00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:01.860
we've never said the word this many times in the show oh wow everyone is

00:09:00.420 --> 00:09:07.260
freaking out about the era of 100 Gigabyte games meanwhile Nintendo fit an

00:09:04.500 --> 00:09:09.620
open world war crime simulator into 16.3 gigs

00:09:10.260 --> 00:09:19.200
we'll get there and the creator of the Oculus Palmer lucky tweeted quote the

00:09:16.140 --> 00:09:21.420
Apple headset is so good end quote

00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:24.959
what else did he say nothing did he go into more detail no are we sure he's

00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:28.920
actually touched an apple headset not really is this the real Palmer lucky

00:09:26.940 --> 00:09:32.339
well there's a blue check mark next to his name but what does that even mean

00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:36.779
anymore anyway the headset's going to be announced June 5th probably but will it

00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:40.200
be expensive almost certainly but it will cost you nothing to come back on

00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:46.380
Wednesday and why wouldn't you don't you like us we're cool we're cool people right like

00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:49.820
like not just my mom I think so I just she doesn't she doesn't watch the show

00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:49.820
so
