00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:14,080
tech news moves fast so let's just take a minute and rediscover our zen

2
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:20,720
there it is right in my sacrum

3
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:26,640
chakras chakras riley AMD's launch of the rx

4
00:00:23,439 --> 00:00:29,199
5600 xt this week has been

5
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:33,840
not so zen to say the least while we gave it a pretty good reception here at

6
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,440
LTT that looks promising that looks very

7
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,960
promising some issues have since sprung up

8
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:44,399
concerning the card's performance boosting v BIOS updates which AMD

9
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:48,559
released to board partners after the launch while most of the BIOS updates

10
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:54,320
are easy enough to install the problem is that not all cards boost equally some

11
00:00:51,360 --> 00:01:00,480
cards get boost to GPU clocks and memory while others don't the rog strikes top

12
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:05,280
from ASUS and the MSI gaming z are the only variants from those companies whose

13
00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:11,280
memory can be boosted to 14 gigabits per second up from 12. and all this is

14
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:13,520
happening while the evga rtx 2060 ko

15
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:20,640
which is an NVIDIA card was discovered by gamersnexus to have a tu-104 inside

16
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:23,200
the same GPU as the rtx 2080 so users

17
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:27,759
could potentially get up to a 47 performance boost

18
00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:32,320
in productivity apps not gaming per se so that combined with the 2060s price

19
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:40,640
drop is putting a bit of a damper on what was supposed to be a pretty good

20
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:43,439
launch week guys for AMD's rx 5600 xt

21
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:47,040
it's just it's not fair my pelvic floor is angry rocket league

22
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:51,360
players on macs and Linux are also pointing out some unfairness this week

23
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:56,159
all 12 of them because the game's developer psyonix who

24
00:01:53,680 --> 00:02:00,799
was recently acquired by epic games announced that multiplayer support on

25
00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:06,479
mac and Linux will be removed after our final patch in march

26
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:09,360
but it's okay guys all dozens of you you

27
00:02:06,479 --> 00:02:14,959
can still play local split screen and train against bots

28
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:19,680
yeah you're not interested well fine psyonix says you can get a refund

29
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:23,360
however reddit users report that no one actually seems to be getting refunds

30
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:29,200
when they ask for them apparently because of a mismatch between psyonix

31
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,640
and steems's steamses refund policies

32
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:34,319
psionics says they're removing multiplayer support on mac and Linux

33
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:39,040
specifically as part of an initiative to add new technologies to the game

34
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:42,720
i know i made fun of the small player base a second ago

35
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:51,239
but for those 12 people if you're still here listening this has got to suck

36
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:51,239
time to get a Windows pci yes hey hey

37
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,640
and despite the eu literally just

38
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:02,879
announcing they were considering a ban on facial recognition london's

39
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:06,319
metropolitan police have begun rolling out the technology oh wait but are they

40
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:13,360
even in the eu london they're getting facial recognition in public spaces live facial

41
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:18,000
recognition or lfr will be enabled in key areas throughout the city scanning

42
00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:23,200
the faces of civilians in an attempt to detect wanted criminals all you unwanted

43
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:27,040
criminals we don't care about your face the police

44
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:30,959
say any images that don't trigger an alert will be deleted immediately and

45
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:34,799
that it will be up to the officers whether to stop someone based on a

46
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:39,280
potential match that's reassuring until the officers themselves are ai

47
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:45,599
while far no doubt has the potential to catch suspects the solution being used

48
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:51,440
by met police was previously found to have an inaccuracy rate of 81 percent

49
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:54,480
which is pretty high as in it was wrong uh

50
00:03:52,400 --> 00:04:00,000
four out of five times we might as well get gregor from alfrest

51
00:03:57,519 --> 00:04:03,200
and to point out who he thinks is a bit dodgy i don't know this

so check it out well we're back for some quick bits okay AMD had a tough week

65
00:04:55,919 --> 00:05:02,720
with the Radeon thing but ryzen is still going strong against Intel however team

66
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:08,479
blue might not be dead in the water just yet a leaked geekbench result shows a

67
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:11,080
quad core tiger lake u processor that's

68
00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:15,919
a mobile part outscoring the ryzen 9 3950x in single core performance by a

69
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:20,479
decent margin Intel what do we do

70
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:26,880
when we fall off the horse kill it and eat it if you're in

71
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:28,720
oh sonos had a tough week of their own

72
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,840
everybody's just getting screwed here the company faced backlash from users

73
00:05:30,479 --> 00:05:36,880
concerned that their smart speakers would stop working well don't worry your

74
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:40,400
legacy sonos devices might not receive updates anymore but they'll keep working

75
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:44,160
just fine until sonos says so

76
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:48,720
also if you have one older device in your setup

77
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:53,039
none of your other ones will receive updates this is confusing

78
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,800
do they have a product called the one no what i think they might whatever

79
00:05:57,039 --> 00:06:04,720
a 15 year old satellite manufactured by boeing and owned by directv somehow is

80
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:10,319
at risk of exploding because of damage to its batteries so directv is asking

81
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:14,720
the fcc for permission to move it out of its standard orbit to prevent damage to

82
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:20,639
other orbiting objects but it remains unclear whether they want to move it

83
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:23,919
down to burn up in earth's atmosphere

84
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:26,000
that would be fun or up to go away into

85
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:29,120
space as some kind of pollution that we don't care about right now but may come

86
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,479
back to haunt us in the future i'm not sure which one is better

87
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:37,440
but you know who is better sandra apple has defended

88
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:41,840
their continuing use of the lightning connector in iphones after the eu called

89
00:06:39,919 --> 00:06:47,199
for the implementation of a universal charging standard across mobile devices

90
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:52,639
apple says to switch to usbc from lightning now could cause waste and

91
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:56,880
stifle innovation no one no one would be able to have the courage

92
00:06:54,400 --> 00:07:01,120
to create an entire spectrum of cool new dongle designs right think of the

93
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:06,560
dongles ah europe you're small-minded

94
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:11,199
and and and google recently changed the design of their serp or search engine

95
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:15,680
results page to make ads a lot less distinguishable from real search results

96
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:18,639
thanks google that is understandably upsetting to a lot of people

97
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:23,039
so google is responding to those criticisms by pledging to experiment

98
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:26,960
with other designs that maybe make ads more obvious again oh you want to be

99
00:07:25,039 --> 00:07:31,360
able to tell the difference between the thing you're actually searching for and

100
00:07:29,039 --> 00:07:36,160
the paid result i'm google and i'm just uh good

101
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,280
incredulous and uh

102
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:44,960
i think i have to talk in this voice recipe

103
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:46,479
well guys uh see you later whatever come

104
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:51,680
back next time hey this is my big voice hey you coming

105
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:58,520
you want some answers okay i don't know the answer to this one

106
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,520
but uh how about you use microsoft edge

107
00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:04,440
he's locked in my basement
