1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,160
you're just sitting there and bam there's the tech news it slaps you in

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:10,000
the face like a powerful pink salmon leaping out of the rivers

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:15,759
there's no feeling like it if you're thinking about being one of the first to adopt the new ark graphics

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:20,560
cards from Intel i'd say knowing how much vram they're gonna have is pretty

5
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:25,359
darn important and now team blue has confirmed how much to expect 16

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:30,400
gigabytes on the a770 and eight gigs on the more mid-range a750 notice how i

7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:35,280
said more mid-range they're all pretty mint although the memory is going to be

8
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:38,239
run-of-the-mill gddr6 on both models it

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:42,160
is good to see the a70 getting a full 16 gigs as it's becoming increasingly

10
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:46,480
common in recent years for games to push up against vram limits as textures and

11
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:49,920
other visual assets take up more and more space

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:54,239
since 16 gigabytes is more than you find on many even higher end cards it might

13
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:59,039
end up being a key way that Intel differentiates itself from teams red and

14
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:02,719
green other than you know color scheme there have been oodles of

15
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:07,520
headlines about chip shortages over the past couple of years but it turns out

16
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:11,680
there's also a shortage of cables specifically fiber optic cables have

17
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:16,880
gotten much more expensive this year due to key components also rising in price

18
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:22,080
as well as from higher demand for online services post pandemic we're all at home

19
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:26,000
right of course this comes at a pretty lousy time considering that big tech has

20
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:29,840
been trying to lay more and more cables under the ocean and mobile carriers are

21
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:34,560
in need of fiber optics in order to build out 5g networks while the fiber

22
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:38,880
optic crunch which sounds like a serial i would buy directly affects back end

23
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:42,079
infrastructure more than consumers we'll have to keep our fingers crossed that

24
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:46,640
the extra costs won't find their way down to us when we pay our internet bill

25
00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:51,119
but i'm sure our corporate overlords would never do anything like that

26
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,799
here's a bizarre story out of russia that has nothing to do with vladimir

27
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:59,040
putin sitting at his comically long and definitely not compensating for anything

28
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:03,600
banquet table last week a robot that was programmed to play chess was facing off

29
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:08,239
against a seven-year-old boy but instead of you know playing chess the robot

30
00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:12,400
broke the poor kid's finger which i think is against the rules apparently

31
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:17,120
the boy tried to move a piece before the robot was expecting him to resulting in

32
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:20,080
the bot grabbing a finger instead of a rook the kid deserves credit for

33
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:25,040
finishing the tournament even though it's unclear why a chest bot would need

34
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:29,920
to use bone crushing force just to pick up a piece regarding the accent sergey

35
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:33,760
lazarev of the moscow chess federation commented

36
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:37,440
this is of course bad now it's time for quick bits brought to

37
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:41,440

45
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:17,760
offer at the link below the apple watch is getting a long-awaited facelift at least according

46
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:19,360
to apple insider mark german the new pro

47
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:23,440
or higher end version due to come out later this year is apparently getting

48
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:27,760
the largest display ever on an apple watch as well as body temperature

49
00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:32,879
sensors and a bigger battery that could let you go several days without a charge

50
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:35,680
and a tougher chassis in case you take your smart watch into hazardous

51
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:40,799
environments like russian chess tournaments one of the most hyped

52
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:46,480
features of the xbox series x was faster load times and it delivered on that with

53
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:48,239
its use of PCIe ssds but now the xbox

54
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:52,400
dev team has made boot times even quicker in a recent update you can

55
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:55,920
expect to save roughly five seconds which is a significant amount of time

56
00:03:53,920 --> 00:04:00,080
when you consider how previously it took an absolutely glacial 12 seconds to

57
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:05,120
start up i'm still going to reach for my phone but this is progress

58
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:08,720
google has canned blake lemoine who you might remember from his claim last month

59
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:12,640
that the company had developed a sentient ai the official reasoning that

60
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,959
they gave was that he breached google's data security but lemoine is apparently

61
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:20,959
gearing up for legal action no word yet if the allegedly almost human ai

62
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:25,280
construct will be called to testify in court it appears we have a new

63
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:29,440
challenger in the gaming monitor space none other than asrock who are much more

64
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,720
well known for their motherboards but the company has apparently registered a

65
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:37,199
few models with a korean government agency and at least two of them have

66
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:41,280
refresh rates in the triple digits which makes sense if their focus is going to

67
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:44,479
be on gaming we still don't know when they'll be available or in which

68
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,120
countries or if you'll be able to turn them on by jumping the pins with a

69
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:50,800
screwdriver and if you're a t-mobile customer

70
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:56,160
you might have some free money headed your way as team magenta can i call them

71
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,919
that is paying around 350 million bucks

72
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:03,040
to settle some class action suits regarding the theft of personal data of

73
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:07,039
nearly 77 million customers if you had to measure carrier in august of last

74
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,160
year keep an eye out for a check given how many people that money is

75
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:15,199
going to don't expect your windfall to cover much more than last month's data overages that's our

76
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:19,520
show come back wednesday for more tech news it's better than free money baby
