oh it's ces yeah
oh the show floor looks a lot like our studio though what are you gonna check
out first riley the covet exhibit
so far there isn't actually a ton of ces news since most of the big press
conferences are happening tomorrow but samsung started things off early by
announcing the world's first 4k 240 hertz monitor the neo g8 also with the
quantum mini led backlight which will help contrast and color accuracy i think
james isn't here to correct me do you know about that jono yeah
you use tvs samsung also showed off a 2nd gen smart
monitor with an included magnetic webcam and support for cloud gaming services so
you can finally throw that nasty pc in the trash gross samsung tvs are getting
some upgrades there will be some models with no bezels at all as well as support
for 4k 144hz content which will come in handy
for the cloud gaming support also in the new tvs but it's ces so samsung left
room for some real wacky stuff too like the eco remote that now harvests wi-fi
radio signals as well as solar energy to power itself and of course the crucial
nft management feature which will let you display your nft art on the tv this
one is a particularly beautiful piece the the look in the apes eyes is i just
i just can't describe how stupid it is microsoft apparently thought the world
rolled into 2022 without much fanfare so they thought they'd make things a bit
more interesting by refusing to fix a date check bug in the company's exchange
servers the systems were unable to parse the new confusing date of january 1st
2020 there's too many twos which got emails stuck in the queue crashing
servers and sending it admins scrambling to figure out if it was really the
russians or y2k the sequel revengeance why y2k2 too many twos many
thought the bug was a security issue since one of the workarounds involved disabling anti-malware services but as
microsoft confirmed when they issued an emergency patch it wasn't anything so
dangerous you can go back to worrying about the other terrifying things on your mind now and dell is introducing
more weird concept products this time under its alienware brand project nyx is
essentially a powerful household server that would run games and let users
stream them to any number of devices smart tv a laptop phones or tablets all
while using the same controller and nyx could apparently do this for multiple
users at once running up to four games simultaneously this sounds pretty wild
but i'm gonna reserve judgment until they release a trailer depicting an
incredibly beautiful family that are all massive gaming nerds pushing each other
around the house to play their game on different screens they have so much fun
together i wish i was with them
now it's time for quick bits brought to you by that's right you guessed it see
sonic who always comes back to sponsor rcs coverage why
because they're confident that they make the best damn power supplies ever i mean
look at the prime tx 1000 watt model with an 80 plus titanium rating for
excellent efficiency a fully modular design for excellent cable manageability
and hybrid fan control of its fluid dynamic fan bearings for excellent fan
noise controllability it's a no-brainer choice for high performance systems
especially when you factor in the 12 year warranty
so get yourself a seasonic power supply at seasonic.com or the link below john
can i tell you something yeah sometimes it's hard to keep the bits quick i keep
i keep that inside most of the time two years after hitting a one trillion
dollar market cap and one year after hitting a two trillion cap apple has
become the first american company to hit three trillion although they
you're happy about this yay the economy although they dropped
back below the mark shortly afterwards seems like they'll hit it again though since the company has tripled its
valuation in under four years it's like my personal boycott isn't doing anything
we call tim cook tim apple all the time it's like nobody cares they'll just keep
buying take my money tim apple take it
it's you you're the problem at t and verizon have rejected a request from the
federal aviation administration to continue delaying their rollout of 5g
c-band frequencies saying the faa's concerns over aircraft interference
aren't actually concerning because the same technology is used in much of
europe and quote the laws of physics are the same in the united states and france
it seems it seems like an obvious thing these days you really have to spell it
out for some people the latest gaming company to express
interest in nfts is square enix who didn't announce any specific plans but
did confirm in a letter written by president yosuke matsuda that they're
gonna do something since nfts are and this is a paraphrase on my part so hot
right now matsuda did acknowledge reservations expressed by gamers who
play to have fun but there are also gamers who play to
contribute to their own crypto meta wallets and they deserve to give square
enix money too it's the christmas spirit a faulty
software update to hp enterprise servers at japan's kyoto university caused the
permanent erasure of 77 terabytes of research data as well as its backups
affecting about 34 million files from 14
research groups they didn't say what they were researching but it is japan so
it may have been more stuff like the lickable flavor screen we talked about
last week and if that never comes to market i'm gonna be stuck licking my
screen and tasting absolutely nothing it sucks
every day this is my life i'll put wasabi on your screen oh thanks andy
that'll help and of course kohler is using ces to talk up more of its weird
bathroom tech like a bathtub kit that will let you tell a voice assistant to
fill the tub to a certain level for you as well as its stillness bath featuring
custom sense water vapor and RGB leds
we've seen all this before but 2022 is apparently the year it actually hits the
market so it's a sign this is the year we get fancy baths things are gonna get
better that's what that if you got the fancy bats positive thinking other
things will follow and i'm positive you should show up tomorrow for more tech
news yeah that's right we're doing five episodes this week if you don't come
back you will be less informed and you may even regret it and i'll miss you
