WEBVTT

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

00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:13.280
oh we're gonna get a pillow lttstore.com qualcomm is rolling out a

00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:17.359
new system on a chip in order to get 5g into more devices the budget-oriented

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:22.480
snapdragon 480 is due out this year and will support both the millimeter wave

00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:24.720
and sub 6 gigahertz flavors of 5g which

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:29.679
is unquestionably awesome but i love asking questions so here's one how will

00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:33.360
the chip perform outside of its fancy cellular capabilities 400 series

00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:37.920
qualcomm chips have been notoriously slow in the past making phones based on

00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:42.000
them feel a lot less responsive than the higher end 800 series lineup however

00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:46.480
qualcomm has switched to an 8 nanometer process for the new chips which qualcomm

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:52.320
claims makes the 480 twice as snappy of a dragon as the existing snapdragon 460.

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:54.399
is it possible snappy or dragons

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

00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:00.879
hot little hands but look for an announcement in the first quarter of

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

00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:12.560
that's what it's for right yeah i'm going to the gambling club

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:14.159
what's that called the casino yeah

00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:18.799
although Windows 10 has gotten a lot of big updates since its release in 2015 it

00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:21.759
looks like some very major changes may be coming later this year rumors have

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:24.960
already been flying about a Windows design for a few months now microsoft

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

00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:35.200
visual rejuvenation of Windows experiences and will signal that Windows

00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:39.439
is back yeah yeah and all capital letters wait where

00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:42.720
do Windows go did we all start using Linux mint and no

00:01:41.119 --> 00:01:46.320
one told me about it we did sorry missed the memo

00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:50.399
anyway we're probably going to get updates for everything from ui elements

00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:54.320
like buttons and sliders to more fluid animations and a revamped tablet mode

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:58.159
there will be an explosion animation when you close Windows that's what we've

00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:01.360
been missing hopefully we'll see this before years

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

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:11.599
thank you lg has given a sneak peek at its bendable OLED gaming display it

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

00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:20.319
no the display can convert between a flat mode for watching video or doing

00:02:18.239 --> 00:02:26.319
normal boring computer stuff and a curved mode for high immersion gaming

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

00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:33.440
display can double as a speaker awesome i'm just gonna go throw my sound system

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

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:43.760
they become more popular for rich people in large part thanks to wide support for

00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:47.360
variable refresh rate tech and 4k 120 hertz on new models we're not sure if

00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:50.560
and when we'll see this bendy display on the market but with folding phones

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

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

00:02:56.959 --> 00:03:04.720

approved it has custom engineered acoustics for immersive 3d sound and

00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:17.519
positional cues so you can hear where the bad guys are coming from while

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:20.080
you're gaming if you're wearing them for a long time

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

00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:29.440

playstation xbox switch and more with no hassle buy it today at the link down

00:03:32.239 --> 00:03:36.959
below yes quick bits give me life

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

00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:47.200
team at cd projekt red has had to sink a lot of time into patching the

00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:49.519
notoriously buggy cyberpunk 2077 their

00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:53.200
free dlc is still on track as they've announced gamers should be getting the

00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:57.760
new content sometime early this year i hope that new content includes pant

00:03:55.200 --> 00:04:01.360
zippers that actually work that is definitely a thing in the game

00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:05.680
you could sometimes just see your stuff floating about or you'd be bald like in

00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:09.360
mirrors it's just i don't know about that many of us have

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

00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:18.400
case for slack users as there's been a major outage today that's still ongoing

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

00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:24.880
the issue so maybe this is a good excuse for you

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:29.600
to take a cue from the app's name and you know

00:04:26.840 --> 00:04:32.880
slack that's a good joke go home google's parent company alphabet woke up

00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:38.080
this morning to the news that its workers are forming their very own union

00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:41.919
the development comes after years of employee discontent with alphabet's

00:04:39.840 --> 00:04:46.400
handling of sexual harassment cases and politically controversial moves it's the

00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:51.199
most high profile unionization among tech workers ever so watch out jeff

00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:54.320
bezos the revolution may have begun might want to install a passenger

00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:58.000
compartment in your rockets there bud he'll be all right does your bank still

not let you deposit checks by taking a photo with your phone now call this

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

00:05:03.520 --> 00:05:10.320
cashing feature unfortunately there will be fees attached either one or five

00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:14.240
percent depending on what kind of check it is with venmo getting a minimum cut

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

00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:22.000
inside my mattress that's where i have all my money my grandpa literally used

00:05:20.479 --> 00:05:25.440
to do that and in case you forgot how much money fortnite has made for epic

00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:30.639
games epic has announced it will be taking over an entire shopping mall holy

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:34.720
crap irl the developer is buying a struggling

00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:38.960
mall near its current headquarters outside of raleigh and intends to

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

00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:46.400
into an ikea a couple years ago before that plan was scrapped meaning we're

00:05:44.080 --> 00:05:50.320
