00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:07.359
Linus is live streaming right now so unfortunately i have to do all of the

00:00:05.920 --> 00:00:10.880
whole TechLinked episode in this kind of sultry voice is that okay what hm

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:15.440
what's that AMD is rising up

00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:19.199
you booed before i even said it that's because it's an old joke they're rising

00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:23.920
up back on the street and and by the street

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:29.920
i mean the leaked benchmarks scores for AMD's upcoming 400 ryzen 7 3800x have

00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:37.040
surfaced on geekbench and things look pretty good Intel's 480 dollar core i9

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:39.120
9900k beat the 3800x by just one percent

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:43.600
in single threaded performance but the 3800x beat the 900k

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.520
by 5 in a multi-thread test

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:52.160
did you get that the 9900k is more expensive

00:00:50.559 --> 00:00:57.520
but it got beat okay okay james has got it this isn't

00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:01.039
strictly speaking a fair comparison but it certainly serves to keep up the hype

00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:05.119
for the ryzen 3000 launch in a couple weeks Intel seems to acknowledge the

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:11.040
threat digi times reports the company plans to cut pricing of its 8th and 9th

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:13.439
gen processors by 10 to 15

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:17.920
that would drop the 9900k down to just a few dollars more than the 3800x not only

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:21.840
making the price to performance proposition more attractive but also

00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:26.720
making it more apparent than ever that Intel they're in some deep

00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:30.560
google's pixel slate had a less than enthusiastic reception from the tech

00:01:28.479 --> 00:01:35.040
community and google didn't like how that made them feel deep inside so the

00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:39.520
company has dropped development of the two smaller pixel tablets it was working

00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:44.400
on and will no longer be producing first party tablets for the foreseeable future

00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:48.240
see you see you later this is all according to google reps who confirmed

00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:52.799
the details with the press the company will however continue development on

00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:56.960
pixelbook style laptops and will work with third-party manufacturers to

00:01:54.479 --> 00:02:00.159
continue support for chrome os tablets honestly google

00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:03.680
that's fine there's nothing wrong with admitting that you screwed up

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:06.799
like really bad

00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:09.520
the pixel slate speakers were actually really good though did you ever hear

00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:14.319
them who cares though i care

00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:18.400
and light-based wireless internet or li-fi has been taking its sweet time

00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:22.800
getting to the general public but now one of the first commercial products to

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:28.560
use it has been announced signify the company formerly known as philips hue

00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:31.040
did you know yeah i didn't has unveiled

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:35.840
true li-fi a range of lights and usb dongle transceivers that will enable

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:38.879
data speeds of up to second there's also a fixed

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:43.280
point-to-point system that can reach up to 250 megabits per second the true

00:02:41.519 --> 00:02:46.959
li-fi line is targeted at professional markets like office buildings where

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:50.879
there may be tons of wi-fi interference so rather than fumbling with your wi-fi

00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:54.720
settings you could just plug in your usb dongle and get internet from the led

00:02:53.680 --> 00:03:01.280
tubes in the ceiling that's why they glow so bright

00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:05.840
until i walk between your computer and the light yeah well

00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:10.239

person apple has issued a voluntary recall for

00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:04.239
its 15-inch 2015 macbook pro with retina display due to the battery posing a fire

00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:09.200
safety risk users can put in their serial number what's that yes yes

00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:13.120
users can put in their serial number on apple's website to see if their machine

00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:17.680
is affected if it is they can bring it into an apple store and then wait up to

00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:22.000
two weeks to get it back as much as i'd love to see apple products go up in

00:04:19.359 --> 00:04:25.440
flames i wouldn't why did i write that if you have a 2015 macbook you should

00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:30.479
probably get it checked out for safety look i they're fine don't bring that on my

00:04:28.479 --> 00:04:34.320
plane you have a plane the u.s has added more chinese tech

00:04:32.479 --> 00:04:37.440
companies to the list of entities banned from doing business with american

00:04:35.919 --> 00:04:40.960
companies the most recognizable among them is

00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:46.080
probably thattick the joint

00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:50.320
that's its name the joint venture between AMD and the

00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:53.840
chinese government to produce chinese processors based on AMD's designs you've

00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:58.479
heard of that i won't try to pronounce the names of the other companies on the list but some of them build

00:04:56.320 --> 00:05:01.040
supercomputers using Intel and NVIDIA parts

00:04:59.440 --> 00:05:04.880
i guess they can try maybe using

00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:08.720
huawei processors now speaking of chinese companies vivo has

00:05:07.039 --> 00:05:13.280
unveiled their new flash charge technology which can operate at 120

00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:21.280
watts and charge a 4 000 milliamp hour battery to a 100 percent in

00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:21.280
i'm waiting just 13 minutes

00:05:22.840 --> 00:05:29.360
seconds i come for the exciting tech games riley now you might only get five

00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:32.880
charging cycles out of your phone before it self combusts but hey what's the

00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:37.520
point of keeping a phone for years if it's just charging half the time live

00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:40.479
life in the fast lane like me i do so many crazy things

00:05:40.880 --> 00:05:46.880
what's what's that amazon hasn't yet rolled out their

00:05:45.280 --> 00:05:50.160
delivery drones they're never gonna roll them up riley they fly

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:57.759
but once they do fly out the company will be looking to provide surveillance

00:05:54.479 --> 00:05:59.840
as a service to customers so you'd pay

00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:04.080
amazon to have its delivery drones look for possible security threats on your

00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:09.280
property like open garage doors broken Windows or fire when they fly overhead

00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:14.400
so they not only want to film me and my kids that i don't have but

00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:18.400
they also want me to pay for it you know while my neighbor gets included

00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:23.600
in the footage for free not in my up yard

00:06:21.039 --> 00:06:27.120
up yard well it's not your backyard it's above you that's not

00:06:25.840 --> 00:06:32.400
that no and you might have heard all this fuss about young people growing horns or

00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:37.199
spikes in their head supposedly because of smartphone use but the actual study

00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:42.639
doesn't make any sort of claim about the skull protrusions being correlated to or

00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:44.880
caused by phones as marius hm points out

00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:49.280
on the Linus tectum forums the original researchers don't link the growths to

00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:54.880
technology but to changes in trends of human posture so don't worry about

00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:58.240
growing horns guys unless you want that

00:06:54.880 --> 00:07:01.479
in which case i'm so i'm sorry

00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.479
get that

00:07:02.080 --> 00:07:07.840
could be the books it could be the newspapers

00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:12.319
i'm just saying all right that's it for tackling guys thanks for watching and
