Linus is live streaming right now so unfortunately i have to do all of the
whole TechLinked episode in this kind of sultry voice is that okay what hm
what's that AMD is rising up
you booed before i even said it that's because it's an old joke they're rising
up back on the street and and by the street
i mean the leaked benchmarks scores for AMD's upcoming 400 ryzen 7 3800x have
surfaced on geekbench and things look pretty good Intel's 480 dollar core i9
9900k beat the 3800x by just one percent
in single threaded performance but the 3800x beat the 900k
by 5 in a multi-thread test
did you get that the 9900k is more expensive
but it got beat okay okay james has got it this isn't
strictly speaking a fair comparison but it certainly serves to keep up the hype
for the ryzen 3000 launch in a couple weeks Intel seems to acknowledge the
threat digi times reports the company plans to cut pricing of its 8th and 9th
gen processors by 10 to 15
that would drop the 9900k down to just a few dollars more than the 3800x not only
making the price to performance proposition more attractive but also
making it more apparent than ever that Intel they're in some deep
google's pixel slate had a less than enthusiastic reception from the tech
community and google didn't like how that made them feel deep inside so the
company has dropped development of the two smaller pixel tablets it was working
on and will no longer be producing first party tablets for the foreseeable future
see you see you later this is all according to google reps who confirmed
the details with the press the company will however continue development on
pixelbook style laptops and will work with third-party manufacturers to
continue support for chrome os tablets honestly google
that's fine there's nothing wrong with admitting that you screwed up
like really bad
the pixel slate speakers were actually really good though did you ever hear
them who cares though i care
and light-based wireless internet or li-fi has been taking its sweet time
getting to the general public but now one of the first commercial products to
use it has been announced signify the company formerly known as philips hue
did you know yeah i didn't has unveiled
true li-fi a range of lights and usb dongle transceivers that will enable
data speeds of up to second there's also a fixed
point-to-point system that can reach up to 250 megabits per second the true
li-fi line is targeted at professional markets like office buildings where
there may be tons of wi-fi interference so rather than fumbling with your wi-fi
settings you could just plug in your usb dongle and get internet from the led
tubes in the ceiling that's why they glow so bright
until i walk between your computer and the light yeah well
if you can get to my dongle i keep i keep my dongle secret i can
block your dongle i can block any dongle now it's time for quick bits is that

person apple has issued a voluntary recall for
its 15-inch 2015 macbook pro with retina display due to the battery posing a fire
safety risk users can put in their serial number what's that yes yes
users can put in their serial number on apple's website to see if their machine
is affected if it is they can bring it into an apple store and then wait up to
two weeks to get it back as much as i'd love to see apple products go up in
flames i wouldn't why did i write that if you have a 2015 macbook you should
probably get it checked out for safety look i they're fine don't bring that on my
plane you have a plane the u.s has added more chinese tech
companies to the list of entities banned from doing business with american
companies the most recognizable among them is
probably thattick the joint
that's its name the joint venture between AMD and the
chinese government to produce chinese processors based on AMD's designs you've
heard of that i won't try to pronounce the names of the other companies on the list but some of them build
supercomputers using Intel and NVIDIA parts
i guess they can try maybe using
huawei processors now speaking of chinese companies vivo has
unveiled their new flash charge technology which can operate at 120
watts and charge a 4 000 milliamp hour battery to a 100 percent in
i'm waiting just 13 minutes
seconds i come for the exciting tech games riley now you might only get five
charging cycles out of your phone before it self combusts but hey what's the
point of keeping a phone for years if it's just charging half the time live
life in the fast lane like me i do so many crazy things
what's what's that amazon hasn't yet rolled out their
delivery drones they're never gonna roll them up riley they fly
but once they do fly out the company will be looking to provide surveillance
as a service to customers so you'd pay
amazon to have its delivery drones look for possible security threats on your
property like open garage doors broken Windows or fire when they fly overhead
so they not only want to film me and my kids that i don't have but
they also want me to pay for it you know while my neighbor gets included
in the footage for free not in my up yard
up yard well it's not your backyard it's above you that's not
that no and you might have heard all this fuss about young people growing horns or
spikes in their head supposedly because of smartphone use but the actual study
doesn't make any sort of claim about the skull protrusions being correlated to or
caused by phones as marius hm points out
on the Linus tectum forums the original researchers don't link the growths to
technology but to changes in trends of human posture so don't worry about
growing horns guys unless you want that
in which case i'm so i'm sorry
get that
could be the books it could be the newspapers
i'm just saying all right that's it for tackling guys thanks for watching and
hey if you feel like it subscribe like follow share spread
ponder adventure and never stop
stopping
see on monday
