00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:14.080
tech news moves fast so let's just take a minute and rediscover our zen

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:20.720
there it is right in my sacrum

00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:26.640
chakras chakras riley AMD's launch of the rx

00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:29.199
5600 xt this week has been

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

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:35.440
LTT that looks promising that looks very

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:38.960
promising some issues have since sprung up

00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:44.399
concerning the card's performance boosting v BIOS updates which AMD

00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:48.559
released to board partners after the launch while most of the BIOS updates

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:54.320
are easy enough to install the problem is that not all cards boost equally some

00:00:51.360 --> 00:01:00.480
cards get boost to GPU clocks and memory while others don't the rog strikes top

00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:05.280
from ASUS and the MSI gaming z are the only variants from those companies whose

00:01:02.559 --> 00:01:11.280
memory can be boosted to 14 gigabits per second up from 12. and all this is

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:13.520
happening while the evga rtx 2060 ko

00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:20.640
which is an NVIDIA card was discovered by gamersnexus to have a tu-104 inside

00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:23.200
the same GPU as the rtx 2080 so users

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:27.759
could potentially get up to a 47 performance boost

00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:32.320
in productivity apps not gaming per se so that combined with the 2060s price

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

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:43.439
launch week guys for AMD's rx 5600 xt

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:47.040
it's just it's not fair my pelvic floor is angry rocket league

00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:51.360
players on macs and Linux are also pointing out some unfairness this week

00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:56.159
all 12 of them because the game's developer psyonix who

00:01:53.680 --> 00:02:00.799
was recently acquired by epic games announced that multiplayer support on

00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:06.479
mac and Linux will be removed after our final patch in march

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:09.360
but it's okay guys all dozens of you you

00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:14.959
can still play local split screen and train against bots

00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:19.680
yeah you're not interested well fine psyonix says you can get a refund

00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:23.360
however reddit users report that no one actually seems to be getting refunds

00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:29.200
when they ask for them apparently because of a mismatch between psyonix

00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.640
and steems's steamses refund policies

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:34.319
psionics says they're removing multiplayer support on mac and Linux

00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:39.040
specifically as part of an initiative to add new technologies to the game

00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:42.720
i know i made fun of the small player base a second ago

00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:51.239
but for those 12 people if you're still here listening this has got to suck

00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:51.239
time to get a Windows pci yes hey hey

00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:58.640
and despite the eu literally just

00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:02.879
announcing they were considering a ban on facial recognition london's

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:06.319
metropolitan police have begun rolling out the technology oh wait but are they

00:03:04.959 --> 00:03:13.360
even in the eu london they're getting facial recognition in public spaces live facial

00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:18.000
recognition or lfr will be enabled in key areas throughout the city scanning

00:03:15.519 --> 00:03:23.200
the faces of civilians in an attempt to detect wanted criminals all you unwanted

00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:27.040
criminals we don't care about your face the police

00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:30.959
say any images that don't trigger an alert will be deleted immediately and

00:03:29.040 --> 00:03:34.799
that it will be up to the officers whether to stop someone based on a

00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:39.280
potential match that's reassuring until the officers themselves are ai

00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:45.599
while far no doubt has the potential to catch suspects the solution being used

00:03:43.440 --> 00:03:51.440
by met police was previously found to have an inaccuracy rate of 81 percent

00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:54.480
which is pretty high as in it was wrong uh

00:03:52.400 --> 00:04:00.000
four out of five times we might as well get gregor from alfrest

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

00:04:55.919 --> 00:05:02.720
with the Radeon thing but ryzen is still going strong against Intel however team

00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:08.479
blue might not be dead in the water just yet a leaked geekbench result shows a

00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:11.080
quad core tiger lake u processor that's

00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:15.919
a mobile part outscoring the ryzen 9 3950x in single core performance by a

00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:20.479
decent margin Intel what do we do

00:05:18.320 --> 00:05:26.880
when we fall off the horse kill it and eat it if you're in

00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:28.720
oh sonos had a tough week of their own

00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:31.840
everybody's just getting screwed here the company faced backlash from users

00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:36.880
concerned that their smart speakers would stop working well don't worry your

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:40.400
legacy sonos devices might not receive updates anymore but they'll keep working

00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:44.160
just fine until sonos says so

00:05:42.400 --> 00:05:48.720
also if you have one older device in your setup

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:53.039
none of your other ones will receive updates this is confusing

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:56.800
do they have a product called the one no what i think they might whatever

00:05:57.039 --> 00:06:04.720
a 15 year old satellite manufactured by boeing and owned by directv somehow is

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:10.319
at risk of exploding because of damage to its batteries so directv is asking

00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:14.720
the fcc for permission to move it out of its standard orbit to prevent damage to

00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:20.639
other orbiting objects but it remains unclear whether they want to move it

00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:23.919
down to burn up in earth's atmosphere

00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:26.000
that would be fun or up to go away into

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

00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:32.479
back to haunt us in the future i'm not sure which one is better

00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:37.440
but you know who is better sandra apple has defended

00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:41.840
their continuing use of the lightning connector in iphones after the eu called

00:06:39.919 --> 00:06:47.199
for the implementation of a universal charging standard across mobile devices

00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:52.639
apple says to switch to usbc from lightning now could cause waste and

00:06:50.080 --> 00:06:56.880
stifle innovation no one no one would be able to have the courage

00:06:54.400 --> 00:07:01.120
to create an entire spectrum of cool new dongle designs right think of the

00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:06.560
dongles ah europe you're small-minded

00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:11.199
and and and google recently changed the design of their serp or search engine

00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:15.680
results page to make ads a lot less distinguishable from real search results

00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:18.639
thanks google that is understandably upsetting to a lot of people

00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:23.039
so google is responding to those criticisms by pledging to experiment

00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:26.960
with other designs that maybe make ads more obvious again oh you want to be

00:07:25.039 --> 00:07:31.360
able to tell the difference between the thing you're actually searching for and

00:07:29.039 --> 00:07:36.160
the paid result i'm google and i'm just uh good

00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:39.280
incredulous and uh

00:07:37.840 --> 00:07:44.960
i think i have to talk in this voice recipe

00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:46.479
well guys uh see you later whatever come

00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:51.680
back next time hey this is my big voice hey you coming

00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:58.520
you want some answers okay i don't know the answer to this one

00:07:53.280 --> 00:07:58.520
but uh how about you use microsoft edge

00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:04.440
he's locked in my basement
