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

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:15.200
this week ARM unveiled a prototype for a plastic based flexible microchip the

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:19.680
company has creatively dubbed plastic ARM they've got to have some germans on

00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:24.720
the naming committee over there oh yeah we've seen bendy chips before

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

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:33.840
plastic ARM is about 12 times more powerful than the other flexible chip

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:37.520
designs out there they might as well be stickers which is one application for

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:42.000
these chips thanks to costing drastically less than rigid silicon

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:46.480
based chips plastic ARM could be built in a product packaging or labels which

00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:50.480
could for instance detect if food has gone bad that's right an ARM engineer

00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:54.000
said we'll be putting processors on lettuce or anything else you can think

00:00:53.199 --> 00:01:00.640
of ew gross that's what you thought of

00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:05.040
i'm not thinking of anything i'm obviously not thinking good news for

00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:08.640
anyone with an rtx 3090 made by evga that was bricked while playing the new

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:13.200
mmo new world the company says they'll replace the busted gpus for free that's

00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:17.680
nice of them some are saying this is the least evga could do since the prevailing

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:21.360
theory is that the hardware was more to blame here than the game itself although

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

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

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:33.520
expensive gaming card on the market and b

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:36.799
play new world but why are we making fun of new worlds not

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:42.159
even out yet anyways if you've been turned off of rtx 3090s forever the

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:45.439
Radeon 6600 xt looks like it'll be announced soon so you'll have an

00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:50.560
opportunity to make a more balanced purchasing decision

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:51.840
don't buy choices expensive things

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

00:01:56.320 --> 00:02:03.040
create new policy enforcing customers rights to fix items ranging from

00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:07.040
smartphones to farm equipment the vote comes after u.s president biden issued

00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:11.840
an executive order calling for such policy and with any luck this will lead

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:16.800
to new laws preventing apple and other companies from discouraging third-party

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:21.760

digestive system for you many major websites and platforms

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:15.760

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:24.720
major web infrastructure company akamai that pronounced that right sure

00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:28.720
beautiful the issue was fixed after a few hours but i don't feel comfortable

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:32.400
using the web when everything can just disappear like this so i'm gonna go back

00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:36.239
to reading books i read books yeah atomic habits by james

00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:41.599
clear just read it i'm trying to become a better person riley epic games has filed a new complaint in

00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:45.519
their lawsuit against google including new information about how the web giant

00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:49.519
tried to block epic from hosting fortnite on samsung's galaxy store

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:54.720
because while they're waiting for the apple case to be decided might as well just remind google that they care you

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

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:46.720
felt like days until they saw a weird-shaped block that it turned out

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

this case and the tokyo olympics kicked off this week with a suitably japanese

00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:59.199
musical fanfare from a ton of classic video games including dragon quest final

fantasy and monster hunter you think there'd be some nintendo titles represented but nope that company is

00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:10.479
