1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,920
riley i swear if you don't give me my tech news right now i'm gonna explode

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:13,280
oh we're gonna get a pillow lttstore.com qualcomm is rolling out a

3
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:17,359
new system on a chip in order to get 5g into more devices the budget-oriented

4
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:22,480
snapdragon 480 is due out this year and will support both the millimeter wave

5
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:24,720
and sub 6 gigahertz flavors of 5g which

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:29,679
is unquestionably awesome but i love asking questions so here's one how will

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:33,360
the chip perform outside of its fancy cellular capabilities 400 series

8
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:37,920
qualcomm chips have been notoriously slow in the past making phones based on

9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:42,000
them feel a lot less responsive than the higher end 800 series lineup however

10
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:46,480
qualcomm has switched to an 8 nanometer process for the new chips which qualcomm

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:52,320
claims makes the 480 twice as snappy of a dragon as the existing snapdragon 460.

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:54,399
is it possible snappy or dragons

13
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,360
we don't have an exact date as to when you can get one of these phones in your

14
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,879
hot little hands but look for an announcement in the first quarter of

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:05,360
this year if you're looking to blow that 600 stimulus real fast that's what it's

16
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:12,560
that's what it's for right yeah i'm going to the gambling club

17
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:14,159
what's that called the casino yeah

18
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:18,799
although Windows 10 has gotten a lot of big updates since its release in 2015 it

19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,759
looks like some very major changes may be coming later this year rumors have

20
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,960
already been flying about a Windows design for a few months now microsoft

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:30,640
has seemed to confirm this through posting a job listing for software engineers who will deliver a sweeping

22
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:35,200
visual rejuvenation of Windows experiences and will signal that Windows

23
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:39,439
is back yeah yeah and all capital letters wait where

24
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,720
do Windows go did we all start using Linux mint and no

25
00:01:41,119 --> 00:01:46,320
one told me about it we did sorry missed the memo

26
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:50,399
anyway we're probably going to get updates for everything from ui elements

27
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:54,320
like buttons and sliders to more fluid animations and a revamped tablet mode

28
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:58,159
there will be an explosion animation when you close Windows that's what we've

29
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:01,360
been missing hopefully we'll see this before years

30
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:06,240
end because i'm already about as excited as a human can be i think i believe

31
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:11,599
thank you lg has given a sneak peek at its bendable OLED gaming display it

32
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:16,400
plans to show off at ces next week oh i see so you can fit it in your pocket

33
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:20,319
no the display can convert between a flat mode for watching video or doing

34
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:26,319
normal boring computer stuff and a curved mode for high immersion gaming

35
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,720
right now we're in it dude it also has a film exciter which means the entire

36
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:33,440
display can double as a speaker awesome i'm just gonna go throw my sound system

37
00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:39,200
as soon as we're finished filming it's an interesting choice to make the panel OLED despite the risks of panel burn-in

38
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:43,760
they become more popular for rich people in large part thanks to wide support for

39
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:47,360
variable refresh rate tech and 4k 120 hertz on new models we're not sure if

40
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,560
and when we'll see this bendy display on the market but with folding phones

41
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:54,480
becoming more of a thing hopefully it won't be too long as i for one would

42
00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:58,640
love to have a screen that flaps like a bird now it's time for the quick bits

43
00:02:56,959 --> 00:03:04,720
today's quick bits are brought to you by the cost gmr 54x iso gaming headset a

44
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:09,040
collaboration with drop it's based on the popular cost headset and audiophile

45
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:13,840
approved it has custom engineered acoustics for immersive 3d sound and

46
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:17,519
positional cues so you can hear where the bad guys are coming from while

47
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,080
you're gaming if you're wearing them for a long time

48
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:25,200
there's reduced tension in the lightweight headband for extended comfort as well you get a cord splitter

49
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:29,440
an inline mic with a remote and a detachable boom mic that works with

50
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:33,200
playstation xbox switch and more with no hassle buy it today at the link down

51
00:03:32,239 --> 00:03:36,959
below yes quick bits give me life

52
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:42,319
the quick bits give me life you know they're they're so fun although the dev

53
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:47,200
team at cd projekt red has had to sink a lot of time into patching the

54
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,519
notoriously buggy cyberpunk 2077 their

55
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:53,200
free dlc is still on track as they've announced gamers should be getting the

56
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:57,760
new content sometime early this year i hope that new content includes pant

57
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:01,360
zippers that actually work that is definitely a thing in the game

58
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:05,680
you could sometimes just see your stuff floating about or you'd be bald like in

59
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,360
mirrors it's just i don't know about that many of us have

60
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:14,400
had to deal with unpleasant surprises when we go back to work after the holidays and this was definitely the

61
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:18,400
case for slack users as there's been a major outage today that's still ongoing

62
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,680
at the time this video was written they haven't said how long it'll take to fix

63
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,880
the issue so maybe this is a good excuse for you

64
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:29,600
to take a cue from the app's name and you know

65
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:32,880
slack that's a good joke go home google's parent company alphabet woke up

66
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:38,080
this morning to the news that its workers are forming their very own union

67
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:41,919
the development comes after years of employee discontent with alphabet's

68
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:46,400
handling of sexual harassment cases and politically controversial moves it's the

69
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:51,199
most high profile unionization among tech workers ever so watch out jeff

70
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:54,320
bezos the revolution may have begun might want to install a passenger

71
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:58,000
compartment in your rockets there bud he'll be all right does your bank still

72
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,360
not let you deposit checks by taking a photo with your phone now call this

73
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:05,840
number venmo is trying to fill that gap as it's rolling out a camera-based check

74
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:10,320
cashing feature unfortunately there will be fees attached either one or five

75
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:14,240
percent depending on what kind of check it is with venmo getting a minimum cut

76
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:18,720
of the five bucks hmm maybe i'll just have Linus pay me in cash and hide it

77
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:22,000
inside my mattress that's where i have all my money my grandpa literally used

78
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:25,440

00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:38,960
mall near its current headquarters outside of raleigh and intends to

82
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:42,479
convert it into a new home base by 2024. the mall was actually going to be turned

83
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:46,400
into an ikea a couple years ago before that plan was scrapped meaning we're

84
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:50,320
