00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.160
you're just sitting there and bam there's the tech news it slaps you in

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:10.000
the face like a powerful pink salmon leaping out of the rivers

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

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:20.560
cards from Intel i'd say knowing how much vram they're gonna have is pretty

00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:25.359
darn important and now team blue has confirmed how much to expect 16

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:30.400
gigabytes on the a770 and eight gigs on the more mid-range a750 notice how i

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:35.280
said more mid-range they're all pretty mint although the memory is going to be

00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:38.239
run-of-the-mill gddr6 on both models it

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:42.160
is good to see the a70 getting a full 16 gigs as it's becoming increasingly

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:46.480
common in recent years for games to push up against vram limits as textures and

00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:49.920
other visual assets take up more and more space

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:54.239
since 16 gigabytes is more than you find on many even higher end cards it might

00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:59.039
end up being a key way that Intel differentiates itself from teams red and

00:00:57.120 --> 00:01:02.719
green other than you know color scheme there have been oodles of

00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:07.520
headlines about chip shortages over the past couple of years but it turns out

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:11.680
there's also a shortage of cables specifically fiber optic cables have

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:16.880
gotten much more expensive this year due to key components also rising in price

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:22.080
as well as from higher demand for online services post pandemic we're all at home

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:26.000
right of course this comes at a pretty lousy time considering that big tech has

00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:29.840
been trying to lay more and more cables under the ocean and mobile carriers are

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:34.560
in need of fiber optics in order to build out 5g networks while the fiber

00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:38.880
optic crunch which sounds like a serial i would buy directly affects back end

00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:42.079
infrastructure more than consumers we'll have to keep our fingers crossed that

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

00:01:45.119 --> 00:01:51.119
but i'm sure our corporate overlords would never do anything like that

00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:54.799
here's a bizarre story out of russia that has nothing to do with vladimir

00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:59.040
putin sitting at his comically long and definitely not compensating for anything

00:01:56.320 --> 00:02:03.600
banquet table last week a robot that was programmed to play chess was facing off

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:08.239
against a seven-year-old boy but instead of you know playing chess the robot

00:02:05.759 --> 00:02:12.400
broke the poor kid's finger which i think is against the rules apparently

00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:17.120
the boy tried to move a piece before the robot was expecting him to resulting in

00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:20.080
the bot grabbing a finger instead of a rook the kid deserves credit for

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:25.040
finishing the tournament even though it's unclear why a chest bot would need

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:29.920
to use bone crushing force just to pick up a piece regarding the accent sergey

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:33.760
lazarev of the moscow chess federation commented

00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:37.440
this is of course bad now it's time for quick bits brought to

00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:41.440

bundle that GPU with an AMD ryzen processor and you can take advantage of

deals just keep getting better learn more about all the deals AMD has to

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

00:03:14.480 --> 00:03:19.360
to apple insider mark german the new pro

00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:23.440
or higher end version due to come out later this year is apparently getting

00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:27.760
the largest display ever on an apple watch as well as body temperature

00:03:25.519 --> 00:03:32.879
sensors and a bigger battery that could let you go several days without a charge

00:03:30.239 --> 00:03:35.680
and a tougher chassis in case you take your smart watch into hazardous

00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:40.799
environments like russian chess tournaments one of the most hyped

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:46.480
features of the xbox series x was faster load times and it delivered on that with

00:03:42.799 --> 00:03:48.239
its use of PCIe ssds but now the xbox

00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:52.400
dev team has made boot times even quicker in a recent update you can

00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:55.920
expect to save roughly five seconds which is a significant amount of time

00:03:53.920 --> 00:04:00.080
when you consider how previously it took an absolutely glacial 12 seconds to

00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:05.120
start up i'm still going to reach for my phone but this is progress

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:08.720
google has canned blake lemoine who you might remember from his claim last month

00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:12.640
that the company had developed a sentient ai the official reasoning that

00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:16.959
they gave was that he breached google's data security but lemoine is apparently

00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:20.959
gearing up for legal action no word yet if the allegedly almost human ai

00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:25.280
construct will be called to testify in court it appears we have a new

00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:29.440
challenger in the gaming monitor space none other than asrock who are much more

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:32.720
well known for their motherboards but the company has apparently registered a

00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:37.199
few models with a korean government agency and at least two of them have

00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:41.280
refresh rates in the triple digits which makes sense if their focus is going to

00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:44.479
be on gaming we still don't know when they'll be available or in which

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

00:04:45.919 --> 00:04:50.800
screwdriver and if you're a t-mobile customer

00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:56.160
you might have some free money headed your way as team magenta can i call them

00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:57.919
that is paying around 350 million bucks

00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:03.040
to settle some class action suits regarding the theft of personal data of

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:07.039
nearly 77 million customers if you had to measure carrier in august of last

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:10.160
year keep an eye out for a check given how many people that money is

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

00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:19.520
show come back wednesday for more tech news it's better than free money baby
