00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:07,600
i thought it might be nice if we talked about some tech news would you like that

2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:15,200
this week ARM unveiled a prototype for a plastic based flexible microchip the

3
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:19,680
company has creatively dubbed plastic ARM they've got to have some germans on

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:24,720
the naming committee over there oh yeah we've seen bendy chips before

5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:30,160
but not like this with a 32-bit cortex m0 CPU and with over 18 000 logic gates

6
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,840
plastic ARM is about 12 times more powerful than the other flexible chip

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,520
designs out there they might as well be stickers which is one application for

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
these chips thanks to costing drastically less than rigid silicon

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,480
based chips plastic ARM could be built in a product packaging or labels which

10
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:50,480
could for instance detect if food has gone bad that's right an ARM engineer

11
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:54,000
said we'll be putting processors on lettuce or anything else you can think

12
00:00:53,199 --> 00:01:00,640
of ew gross that's what you thought of

13
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:05,040
i'm not thinking of anything i'm obviously not thinking good news for

14
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:08,640
anyone with an rtx 3090 made by evga that was bricked while playing the new

15
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:13,200
mmo new world the company says they'll replace the busted gpus for free that's

16
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:17,680
nice of them some are saying this is the least evga could do since the prevailing

17
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:21,360
theory is that the hardware was more to blame here than the game itself although

18
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:25,680
amazon has patched the frame cap in the game's menu just in case i can't say i

19
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:30,240
feel too bad for the victims here since they made the choice to a buy the most

20
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,520
expensive gaming card on the market and b

21
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:36,799
play new world but why are we making fun of new worlds not

22
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:42,159
even out yet anyways if you've been turned off of rtx 3090s forever the

23
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:45,439
Radeon 6600 xt looks like it'll be announced soon so you'll have an

24
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:50,560
opportunity to make a more balanced purchasing decision

25
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,840
don't buy choices expensive things

26
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:58,799
and more good news for the right to repair movement the federal trade commission has voted unanimously to

27
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:03,040
create new policy enforcing customers rights to fix items ranging from

28
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:07,040
smartphones to farm equipment the vote comes after u.s president biden issued

29
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:11,840
an executive order calling for such policy and with any luck this will lead

30
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:16,800
to new laws preventing apple and other companies from discouraging third-party

31
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:21,760

major web infrastructure company akamai that pronounced that right sure

47
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:28,720

imprisoned data cassea got the key after wandering around the dungeon for what

65
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,720
felt like days until they saw a weird-shaped block that it turned out

66
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:50,880
had to be rotated in order to get to the chest a guide would have been handy in
