hello everyone this is a slightly different tech link
because linus is using the tackling set and we
are forced to use uh wherever we are right now what is
this i am also sitting down james is also very comfortable we're
reclining oh and andy's going to sit down too all right here we go hey tell
you what if you've been planning to build a gaming rig primarily to play fortnite you might want to think twice
especially if you have an ipad pro
all right the game's latest apple app store update means fortnite now supports
120 frames per second on the 2018 ipad
pro wow that's some extra buttery smooth
flossing you know the thing can't do it because
i'm sitting as much as a gaming rig that's true
it's a little more expensive do keep in mind that there is a resolution and
quality trade-off and the frame rate does dip below 120 sometimes depending
on what exactly is happening on your screen but it's still pretty cool to see
this on a tablet especially as some platforms like the nintendo switch don't
offer such an option for the more competitive among you the higher refresh
rate could offer a gameplay advantage though i'm not sure what the venn
diagram with hardcore esports enthusiasts and ipad pro gamers would
look like probably very small ah ces
2020 was a bit disappointing for those of us who expected more playstation 5
news other than what the name was but now it looks like we might be seeing a
lot more of the upcoming console very soon more than the logo
imagine a god of war developer tweeted last week that we're less than a month
out from the official reveal another leak also suggests we'll be seeing it in
early february with it going on sale in october for 499 us dollars or 449 of the
majesties pounds and if the leak that performance will be similar to the
upcoming xbox series x for 100 bucks less is true
it might put microsoft in a very difficult spot of course these are all
just rumors for the moment but at least it gives you something to look forward
to for next month if you're facing the prospect of spending another valentine's
day alone but that doesn't matter as long as you
got a nice comfy pillow now that i'm married i i wish my valentine's day was
alone james that's rude ah but tesla now
they're facing a possibly massive recall in the united states following reports
like this one that the cars are suddenly speeding up without warning to the
driver well that was a joke about something that's kind of serious
the recall could affect half a million teslas including the model s the model x
and the model 3. all of them except the cyber truck the
investigation by u.s authorities comes after a number of complaints involving
over 120 individual vehicles while this is quite alarming if you've bought an
elon mobile an important thing to note is that some of these complaints appear
to have come from an investor who's notorious for wanting to see tesla's
stock fall and claims of unintended acceleration
involving other vehicles in the past have often come from user error like
accidentally stepping on the gas
i do that all the time so maybe ai isn't actually plotting to
kill us all yet that's the that's the key

boeing ooh looks like it's taking another black eye on the now notorious
737 max airliner although it's spent
months trying to work out a software bug there's now apparently another issue
with the flight control computers that keeps the plane from even taking off now
that's safer i'm no aviation expert it seems like they should just yeah
stay safe and just not take off stay on the tarmac what dennis we're filming
i wish there was a camera on his face he just looks and he's like
oh the mental health director of britain's national health service is
calling for the uk to follow in belgium's footsteps and ban loot boxes
similar to other officials who have criticized this trend in gaming the nhs
views buying loot boxes as a form of gambling the nhs is also planning to
open up more gambling clinics across the country but i wonder how many of their
visitors will come in with a loot box problem versus just having lost way too
much money betting on the premier league
it's not the premier league the prem it's a
soccer edsel premier league have you heard of it
football nintendo is looking at switching up the
joy-con yet again if a new patent is believed
the console gaming giant has filed a patent for a new design that
incorporates a stylus into the controller and while it might not have
much use for action games it could definitely come in handy for titles like
super mario maker no word on if or when it'll be released but i'm definitely
looking forward to another small easy to lose electronics accessory i
want a stylus for all my devices although the opera browser has built up
a pretty solid reputation over the years there have been reports recently that
under new ownership it has apps in the google play store offering predatory
loans to users in kenya nigeria and
india some with interest rates of over 800 percent we've yet to see if the
reports are true and if google will ban the apps and this seems like a good time
to remind our wonderful viewers to stay far away from payday loans i know it it
seems like a great deal you get money right now yeah but no obligation
and the fbi has seized the website we leak info which is exactly what it
sounds like a reseller of usernames and passwords stolen in data breaches the
suspected perps have also been arrested by cops in the netherlands and northern
ireland definitely a good thing as the site's owners were selling subscription
access to the stolen credentials for as low as two dollars so don't forget to
check have i been pwned to make sure your private info wasn't sold for the
price of a coca-cola all right that's our show guys come back on wednesday for
more fizzy refreshing tech news and uh hopefully we won't be uh reclining as
much geez come on see this is the great thing about the
other set no throwable weapons it's cold in here
