00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.040
thanks to lastpass for sponsoring a portion of this video this is how you

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:08.880
stretch james which one is this

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:11.440
we're gonna do tech news yeah just a sec i just gotta

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:21.359
NVIDIA's newest graphics card the rtx 3060 ti launched today for 3.99 and the

00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:26.240
consensus seems to be that it's pretty good the 3060 ti is generally

00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:30.800
better than the rtx 2080 super and even bites at the heels of the 2080 ti and

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:35.120
it's only real competitor price wise is the rx xbox series s not

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:39.840
actually the rx 5700 xt which performs about 30

00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:43.360
percent worse so if your budget is around 400 bucks it

00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:46.640
seems like a no-brainer provided you have the free time that is now necessary

00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:50.719
for anyone in the market for a GPU to spend refreshing product pages although

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:56.160
according to hardware canuck's retail contacts stock for the 3060 ti should

00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:59.359
add up to more than the 30 70 30 80 and

00:00:56.160 --> 00:01:00.879
30 90 combined but if social media is

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:04.400
any indication people are still having trouble getting orders through if only

00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:07.119
because store websites are getting slammed

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:11.760
well at least we can look forward to january that's when AMD is expected to

00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:16.240
release the rx 6700 and we should also get rtx 30 series laptops both of those

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:19.920
things will also probably have stock problems but maybe we should just accept

00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:24.799
that it's not about the destination it's about the journey the long long journey

00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:29.119
at least you got to click a buy button yes ARM processors are a bigger deal now

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:33.280
that apple's released their m1 powered max so here we are reporting on new

00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:39.759
smartphone processors samsung announced the exynos 1080 and

00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:41.920
qualcomm unveiled the snapdragon 888 an

00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:46.000
eight core system very lucky it's an eight core system on chip with pumped up

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:51.520
ai capabilities and built-in 5g and wi-fi 6. now to be fair these might not

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:56.399
just be smartphone processors qualcomm snapdragon 8cx chips which power many

00:01:54.159 --> 00:02:02.479
Windows 10 on ARM laptops are based on the aging snapdragon 865 so updated

00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:04.159
desktop chips based on the 8888.88

00:02:02.479 --> 00:02:08.879
could mean Windows on ARM devices could be just as good as the apple m1

00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:13.599
good night sweet Intel as a joke they're not it's not

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:18.560
maybe qualcomm believes it's possible company reps say that m1 has validated

00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:22.879
the idea of ARM-powered pcs and japan apparently agrees apple shot up to the

00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:26.720
number one spot in desktop pc market share there in that country following

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:31.200
the launch of the m1 max most of these sales weren't m1 models they were the

00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:35.599
older Intel ones but hey at the very least we can say an ARM-powered laptop

00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:40.720
is a flashy futuristic idea and i'm all for those a walking car

00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:44.160
come on and earlier this year iphones were vulnerable to a hack that could

00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:49.360
have allowed attackers to gain full control of the device over Wi-Fi with no

00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:53.120
user interaction required and not only that the attack could worm its way from

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:58.800
one infected iphone to another within range giving a hacker access to untold

00:02:56.239 --> 00:03:02.800
legions of data just by walking through a crowded area to be fair those have

00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:06.319
been few and far between for much of 2020 and apple actually patched the

00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:12.080
vulnerability that enabled this sort of attack with iOS version 13.5 back in may

00:03:09.519 --> 00:03:16.720
so you can stop looking worried edsel i don't know

00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:20.959
update your phone so if you're still running 13.4 or lower let's just hope

00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:25.200
you've been observing quarantine and also

00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:28.800
update your dang phone don't be an edsel don't live with spies

00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:33.280

00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:13.200
onto the quick bits japan loves max well

00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:16.799
so does amazon because the company just announced instances of macOS are

00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:21.040
available in the company's cloud infrastructure the instances are running

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:25.199
on actual mac minis although they're Intel models not the new m1s i guess

00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:29.040
apple had to dump their old stock somewhere amazon is also announcing

00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:33.919
computer vision-based services that will allow factories to detect whether

00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:36.400
machinery and human workers are working

00:04:33.919 --> 00:04:41.280
well makes sense people protest amazon's draconian working conditions they double

00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:47.440
down it's how compromise works remember facebook's cryptocurrency libra

00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:51.360
you don't that's okay they're renaming it to diem in preparation of the coins

00:04:49.840 --> 00:04:55.360
launched next year in a much more limited form than was originally planned

00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:59.600
public reaction to the currency included a lot of skepticism because of its ties

00:04:57.280 --> 00:05:03.600
to facebook so this move is reportedly designed to distance diem from facebook

00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:09.280
in the minds of consumers and legislators and us talking about it is

00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:11.680
designed to do the opposite diem

00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:16.400
carpe diem it's the new thing you'll forget about remember that the arecibo

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:19.919
radio telescope has collapsed weeks after the national science foundation

00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:23.600
said that the dish was too badly damaged and too dangerous to attempt repair and

00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:27.600
we knew this was going to happen but it would have been nice to film one last

00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:31.919
bond action sequence there you know and then film no more bond movies ever

00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:36.720
or at least not release them yeah just keep them to yourself china

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:39.840
has successfully landed their chang e and i'm definitely saying that wrong

00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:43.840
probe on the surface of the moon and begun to gather moon rocks if the lander

00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:48.000
successfully returns to earth it will be the first time moon rocks have made it

00:05:45.440 --> 00:05:52.080
back here in over four decades and thank goodness because we're running

00:05:49.280 --> 00:05:56.320
dangerously low on moon rocks the time portal's gonna

00:05:53.520 --> 00:06:00.160
run out of juice any day now and google has switched over its internet providing

00:05:58.400 --> 00:06:03.680
loon hot air balloons to fully autonomous flight relying on

00:06:01.840 --> 00:06:08.479
reinforcement learning algorithms for navigation instead of ones crafted by

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:12.400
humans in tests the ai was reportedly able to keep balloons in target areas

00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:16.720
for longer while using less energy and used complex maneuvers the loon team

00:06:14.479 --> 00:06:19.840
hadn't seen before he's

00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:23.840
he's switched off his targeting computer it's time to switch off this episode so

00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:29.919
come back on friday for more tech news and if you don't well

00:06:26.479 --> 00:06:29.919
i won't be able to save you
