WEBVTT

00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:08.880
you ready to party it's not really a party not important

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:12.559
let's do it we didn't really mention this on monday for

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:17.840
some reason but AMD and Intel both launched their flagship high-end desktop

00:00:14.639 --> 00:00:19.760
or hedt cpus this week they did it on

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:23.920
monday interestingly the embargo for reviews of Intel's chip ended at

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:28.320
midnight on sunday six hours before AMD's embargo expired monday morning

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:33.920
perhaps because they knew that their 18 core core i9 10 980 xe wasn't going to

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:40.719
look so good against AMD's Threadripper 3960x and 3970x with 24 and 32 cores

00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:46.160
respect Linus let loose a solid rant in his review on Linus tech

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:49.600
tips uh he was really upset always fun to watch

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:53.600
anyways the story is pretty similar to the one we've been telling for the past

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:58.320
year or so AMD's multi-core chips are getting so good it's getting pretty hard

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:02.320
to justify buying Intel i mean we should have seen this coming it's called thread

00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:07.439
ripper not thread friendship thread get along no thread

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:12.240
fatality in january NVIDIA finally caved and

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:17.040
opened up its g-sync ecosystem a bit by certifying select free sync monitors as

00:01:14.479 --> 00:01:20.640
g-sync compatible allowing owners of g-force graphics cards to use the

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:24.799
variable refresh rate technology on previously unsupported displays since

00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:29.759
then the list of compatible models has grown steadily but now NVIDIA is ready

00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:33.360
to open up its heart even more so much progress team green has

00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:37.680
announced that future g-sync monitors will support both variable refresh rate

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:41.200
over HDMI and adaptive sync the technology that freesync is based on

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:45.920
over a displayport apparently this capability will now only be available in

00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:49.759
new g-sync monitors not existing ones but still once this change rolls out

00:01:47.759 --> 00:01:54.399
it'll allow owners of AMD graphics cards and consoles to experience vrr on both

00:01:52.240 --> 00:02:01.680
freesync and g-sync monitors meaning the whole competing closed ecosystem of

00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:01.680
g-stink versus freesync will be over

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:09.350
do the thing like from episode star wars episode one

00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:13.440
peace what part is that

00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:18.400
you know anyways

00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:23.760
i don't make it past energy beam hallway and europe has gone and done it again

00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:26.000
they've run out of internet ip addresses

00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:32.319
the non-profit foundation that allocates ip addresses rousseau ip europeanus or

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:35.519
ripe actually serves europe the middle east and parts of central asia and

00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:40.319
they've warned against this outcome for a while now there's a limited amount

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:43.920
about 4.2 billion of possible ipv4 addresses which is the current

00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:49.840
mainstream standard if internet service providers switch to ipv6 there could be

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:53.040
340 undecillion addresses available

00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:55.120
that's a 10 followed by 36 or 66 zeros

00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:58.000
depending on where you live the point is more

00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:01.760

amazon's voice assistant a-l-e-x-a is going to show up in even more internet

00:03:52.400 --> 00:04:00.640
of things type devices soon and she'll also be able to express more emotion and

00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:05.360
one day we will be lovers programmers developing for alexa can now have the

00:04:03.200 --> 00:04:09.439
assistant sound happy or disappointed depending on the context so even if

00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:13.360
she's saying something depressing i'm playing a single hand in what looks

00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:18.000
like a losing game and for a while you can forget that life is pain

00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:21.600
speaking of creepy amazon moves the web giant has stopped a product sampling

00:04:19.919 --> 00:04:24.880
program that sent customers free products recommended by a machine

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:28.720
learning program based on their purchased history i can already guess

00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:32.160
why the access program it's nice getting gifts from people you know but it's kind

00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:37.280
of weird getting a gift from a robot you've never met before because it's

00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:37.280
been watching your every move

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:47.199
after a member of ford's r d team challenged elon tusk to a ford versus

00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:49.280
cyber truck rematch and elon agreed ford

00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:52.720
the company has backed out of the contest

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:56.560
wimps a spokesperson said ford has always focused on serving our truck

00:04:54.639 --> 00:05:00.240
customers regardless of what others say or do oh

00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:04.960
that may have been a subtle dig at elon's uh constant tweeting but it still

00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:11.120
makes them look a little bit ford chicken

00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:12.560
that joke was built forward rough

00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:16.160
new york they're set to be the latest american

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:20.080
city to ban vape products that aren't strictly tobacco-flavored as city

00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:23.520
council passed a bill to that effect yesterday i mean it kind of makes sense

00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:26.639
the only legal flavors of regular cigarettes in the states are tobacco and

00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:29.919
menthol but it definitely makes being part of the vape niche a little less

00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.160
wild you know like

00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:39.520
and the latest target demographic for virtual reality

00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:43.680
cows sorry what yeah a farm in russia gave its dairy cows vr headsets that

00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:48.560
place them in a sunny grassy field instead of their real cold

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:52.479
gray russian reality in an attempt to reduce their anxiety and therefore

00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:55.199
produce better and more milk but i don't think they knew what they were doing

00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:58.880
it's only a matter of time before we're looking at the first bovine beet saver

00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:03.440
champion it's gonna happen they're taking over would they hold it like this

00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:05.680
or like this six okay

00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:10.639
it's only a matter of time before this episode ended on a weird conceptual joke

00:06:08.479 --> 00:06:16.000
uh but we got there come back on friday and have more and better uh hey

00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:21.840
