riley i swear if you don't give me my tech news right now i'm gonna explode
oh we're gonna get a pillow lttstore.com qualcomm is rolling out a
new system on a chip in order to get 5g into more devices the budget-oriented
snapdragon 480 is due out this year and will support both the millimeter wave
and sub 6 gigahertz flavors of 5g which
is unquestionably awesome but i love asking questions so here's one how will
the chip perform outside of its fancy cellular capabilities 400 series
qualcomm chips have been notoriously slow in the past making phones based on
them feel a lot less responsive than the higher end 800 series lineup however
qualcomm has switched to an 8 nanometer process for the new chips which qualcomm
claims makes the 480 twice as snappy of a dragon as the existing snapdragon 460.
is it possible snappy or dragons
we don't have an exact date as to when you can get one of these phones in your
hot little hands but look for an announcement in the first quarter of
this year if you're looking to blow that 600 stimulus real fast that's what it's
that's what it's for right yeah i'm going to the gambling club
what's that called the casino yeah
although Windows 10 has gotten a lot of big updates since its release in 2015 it
looks like some very major changes may be coming later this year rumors have
already been flying about a Windows design for a few months now microsoft
has seemed to confirm this through posting a job listing for software engineers who will deliver a sweeping
visual rejuvenation of Windows experiences and will signal that Windows
is back yeah yeah and all capital letters wait where
do Windows go did we all start using Linux mint and no
one told me about it we did sorry missed the memo
anyway we're probably going to get updates for everything from ui elements
like buttons and sliders to more fluid animations and a revamped tablet mode
there will be an explosion animation when you close Windows that's what we've
been missing hopefully we'll see this before years
end because i'm already about as excited as a human can be i think i believe
thank you lg has given a sneak peek at its bendable OLED gaming display it
plans to show off at ces next week oh i see so you can fit it in your pocket
no the display can convert between a flat mode for watching video or doing
normal boring computer stuff and a curved mode for high immersion gaming
right now we're in it dude it also has a film exciter which means the entire
display can double as a speaker awesome i'm just gonna go throw my sound system
as soon as we're finished filming it's an interesting choice to make the panel OLED despite the risks of panel burn-in
they become more popular for rich people in large part thanks to wide support for
variable refresh rate tech and 4k 120 hertz on new models we're not sure if
and when we'll see this bendy display on the market but with folding phones
becoming more of a thing hopefully it won't be too long as i for one would
love to have a screen that flaps like a bird now it's time for the quick bits

notoriously buggy cyberpunk 2077 their
free dlc is still on track as they've announced gamers should be getting the
new content sometime early this year i hope that new content includes pant
zippers that actually work that is definitely a thing in the game
you could sometimes just see your stuff floating about or you'd be bald like in
mirrors it's just i don't know about that many of us have
had to deal with unpleasant surprises when we go back to work after the holidays and this was definitely the
case for slack users as there's been a major outage today that's still ongoing
at the time this video was written they haven't said how long it'll take to fix
the issue so maybe this is a good excuse for you
to take a cue from the app's name and you know
slack that's a good joke go home google's parent company alphabet woke up
this morning to the news that its workers are forming their very own union
the development comes after years of employee discontent with alphabet's
handling of sexual harassment cases and politically controversial moves it's the
most high profile unionization among tech workers ever so watch out jeff
