it's time for the technician oh
cruel world who will be detected
so it seems amazon is not content with only controlling your home media
consumption and shopping habits as it now wants to own the streets too at the
amazon product event this week the company unveiled a whole slew of new
devices including the echo loop and echo frames so now you can be a know it all
24 7 with blinging rings and shades dawg
unlike other smart rings the echoloop isn't a slimmed down fitness tracker but
instead it's basically a miniaturized echo that can perform many of the major
functions as your stay-at-home smart waifu but makes you look like a cool spy
while you set completely mundane reminders and alarms the small titanium
frame houses two microphones a teensy-weensy speaker a single button
for actions and a haptic driver for notifications and amazon claims that the
battery will last around a single day for typical use the frames are even more
simple it's an audio only echo experience with no cameras or ar screens
so not very exciting but also not very creepy
that's good all jokes aside i can see these being
genuinely useful when accessing your phone would be difficult such as having
to make a super quick phone call when your your phone is like buried in your
desk clutter your pig right yeah pig i'm a clean person provided you
only ever need to call a single contact as that's all that the loop ring allows
you to assign it to it so yeah i'm getting some real gen 1 vibes
now NVIDIA is looking to steal the spotlight for lower end gpus once again
as information has risen from the tech depths
about the new gtx 1660 super and confirmation
will come soon enough as it's rumored to launch in october a report from video
cards claims that there are at least three different 1660 super variants in
the works from the dual evo phoenix and tough 3 series
sounds like a super tough choice to me
the new super card will apparently have the same GPU as the existing 1660 but
will have faster vram six gigabytes of gddr6 running at 14 gigabits per second
up from the current six gigabytes of gdr5 at eight gigabits a second this
bump will actually make the upcoming super's memory faster than the current
1660 ti the gtx 1660 super is expected
to retail at under 300 but NVIDIA is also expected to launch a gtx 1650 ti in
the near future meaning that there will be at least five different 16 series
cards around the same price
16 70 16 85 16 what oh NVIDIA they know

security Android has just announced its latest version of the Android 10 go
edition which is the company's os for entry-level devices this update brings
with it improved efficiency and security and users should find apps launching 10
faster than with the previous os and with google stating that around 80
percent of low-powered smartphones use Android go that's a whole lot of zippier
app switching although i guess it kind of depends on their definition of low
powered smartphone what does that even mean it's 100 of
our numbers apple has just taken its innovation game to a whole new level
with their latest patent and it seems that they might finally be jumping on
the RGB train baby RGB train has no brakes the patent
application outlines the company's plans to turn the apple logo into a and i'm
recording the pattern here directly adjustable decoration
it's an led this feature will allow the logo to light up and change color
depending on incoming notifications which to be fair would be a nice feature
to add to their products if they hadn't already done this and then cut it out of
their macbooks a few years ago innovation
the world wasn't ready before no no now they're ready now i'm ready people do
this like 10 years ago it's only invented when apple does it it seems
that sony just can't make up its mind as to whether the upcoming kojima del toro
