00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:06.920
Prime day is over so put down your credit cards and listen up it's time for

00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:06.920
Tech news

00:00:08.179 --> 00:00:14.219
remember how Microsoft said Windows 10 was going to be the last version of

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:17.940
Windows so that's obviously gone out the window no pun intended with the release

00:00:16.020 --> 00:00:21.960
of Windows 11 and now it looks like Microsoft is trained even further away

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:25.859
from that Vision as a report indicates that they're going to be having a major

00:00:23.340 --> 00:00:30.539
release every three years meaning it's expected that we'll be seeing Windows 12

00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:33.059
in 2024 but on the plus side Redmond is also planning to push out feature

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:36.000
updates for the existing version of Windows much more frequently which

00:00:34.860 --> 00:00:39.540
hopefully means you won't have to deal with buggy or poorly designed features

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:43.260
for as long although nothing regarding Windows 12 has been confirmed yet

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:47.040
Microsoft does apparently have plans to bring it to life in line with the new

00:00:45.059 --> 00:00:52.620
release timetable which is great because I love just having to get used to a new

00:00:49.020 --> 00:00:55.620
interface over and over and over and

00:00:52.620 --> 00:00:57.000
over again in better news GPU prices are

00:00:55.620 --> 00:01:03.300
still falling and although initial reports that NVIDIA would be dropping the msrps of its current RTX 3000 lineup

00:01:00.899 --> 00:01:07.080
turned out not to be true Team Green did confirm that some of its cards will be

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:11.040
getting discounts for a limited time of course with the launch of RTX 4000

00:01:08.939 --> 00:01:15.720
series likely coming later this year the distinction between limited time deal

00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:19.380
and reduced MSRP might be purely academic NVIDIA looks to be clearing out

00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:23.820
some of its current high-end stock as the deal currently only applies to the

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:28.439
RTX 3080 12 gig Edition and up with the largest savings being 500 bucks off an

00:01:25.740 --> 00:01:33.060
RTX 3090 TI which drops it down to a super affordable 14.99 which I'm sure

00:01:31.500 --> 00:01:37.200
you all have in your couch cushions right about now look money wow what you

00:01:35.820 --> 00:01:40.799
might actually have laying around is an old laptop and you can now easily turn

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:44.820
it into a Chromebook as Google's Chrome OS Flex is now available to the general

00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:48.900
public Chrome OS Flex is an installation tool you can put on any USB drive to

00:01:46.979 --> 00:01:52.020
install Chrome OS on any system you like the tool does a compatibility check

00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:55.259
first but it should be fine unless you're rocking some seriously ancient

00:01:53.759 --> 00:01:58.619
Hardware even though this new version of Chrome OS is being marketed towards

00:01:56.759 --> 00:02:02.159
bigger organizations trying to extend the life of their fleets of older

00:02:00.299 --> 00:02:04.979
devices it seems like it'd be useful for the average home user that just wants

00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:08.880
another machine to browse the web and make calls on as the system requirements

00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:11.580
for Chrome OS are still quite modest or you could install it on your five

00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:16.620
thousand dollar gaming rig just to see what happens when you post about it on Reddit I post all my OS changes on

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.980

00:02:54.420 --> 00:03:00.000
quick bits the legal showdown between Elon Musk and Twitter is set to kick off

00:02:58.200 --> 00:03:03.840
in just a few days as the two sides will have an initial hearing on July 19th in

00:03:01.980 --> 00:03:07.019
the Delaware Court of Chancery the dispute arose when Elon tried to back

00:03:05.340 --> 00:03:10.319
out of his bid to take over the social media giant so Twitter is now either

00:03:08.760 --> 00:03:13.980
trying to force Elon to go through with it or pay the cost Twitter is incurring

00:03:12.420 --> 00:03:19.500
as a result of Elon breaking the contract ah I'm sure he always intended

00:03:16.980 --> 00:03:23.580
to buy Twitter never was this a sham at all guaranteed right Alex yeah but you

00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:27.180
know it's not a sham drones delivering stuff from Amazon and it's finally

00:03:25.379 --> 00:03:30.659
coming to its Second City the lucky winners this time are College Station

00:03:28.860 --> 00:03:33.420
Texas the company is going to be getting in touch with customers there to see if

00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:37.560
they're interested in getting their junk delivered via drone Jesus Christ and

00:03:35.940 --> 00:03:41.099
seeing as it's a smaller city with a large College population the decision

00:03:39.300 --> 00:03:44.879
seems to make sense maybe soon the skies around Texas A M will be filled with

00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:48.900
drops of maroon colored care packages it's the school color if you don't get

00:03:46.980 --> 00:03:52.260
the joke valve is reportedly optimizing steamos to run on devices other than the

00:03:50.819 --> 00:03:55.500
steam deck that sounds pretty sick although gaming laptops are not nothing

00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.220
new other companies have been trying their hand at devices that are closer to

00:03:57.239 --> 00:04:03.480
Portable consoles such as the winmax 2 from GPD a rather small laptop that has

00:04:01.620 --> 00:04:06.540
a Gamepad built in although it seems a little odd for valve to be helping

00:04:04.860 --> 00:04:09.840
Hardware Rivals it makes sense when you consider they'll get the steam store

00:04:08.099 --> 00:04:14.220
which means they're going to get sweet sweet cheddar when you overpay for all

00:04:11.459 --> 00:04:18.359
those DLCs and microtransactions and hats and crates everything just just

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:21.660
have your money well it turns out five percent of new car sales in the US are

00:04:19.979 --> 00:04:25.259
now electric which many folks consider the Tipping Point for broad adoptions

00:04:23.280 --> 00:04:28.919
and it sounds like GM agrees as they've just announced a plan to construct a

00:04:26.940 --> 00:04:33.780
nationwide fast charging Network made up of 500 stations and 2 000 stalls the

00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:37.259
first of which should be up and running early next year the stations are planned

00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:40.139
to have amenities similar to current gas stations and Travel Centers because I

00:04:38.699 --> 00:04:44.340
want no part of that unless it comes with a microwave burrito and Sushi

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:48.720
assembled last week yeah and Wordle has come full circle in a

00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:52.020
journey from smartphone sensation to an offline party game The New York Times

00:04:50.340 --> 00:04:55.800
who bought Wordle earlier this year is releasing a board game version with a

00:04:53.520 --> 00:04:58.500
word board dry erase markets and little green and yellow tiles to make the game

00:04:57.180 --> 00:05:02.759
version a little bit more like the digital one the game will set you back 20 bucks and you can pre-order it now

00:05:01.320 --> 00:05:06.240
but can you really put a price on gathering in person with your friends or

00:05:04.440 --> 00:05:09.780
