oh this is just perfect I had a whole day planned out to find all the tech
news but here it is in one video thanks a lot Riley NVIDIA have announced that
they will be unlaunching the RTX 4080 12 Gigabyte variant after three weeks of
backlash because well it just ain't named right gosh darn it it's against
nature NVIDIA's decision to market the card as a 4080 despite having
significantly worse specs and performance than the 16 Gigabyte RTX 48
led many people to accuse Team Green of throwing a cowhide on a sheep and
calling it a horse toss the pig skin so it's a welcome
surprise to see NVIDIA actually acknowledging the issue even if they're
still keeping secrets about some other news this week like the fact that dlss3
can apparently run on RTX gpus older
than the 40 series according to a redditor who saw a moderate FPS boost on
an RTX 2070. we already knew that we just it just won't be good or the fact
that NVIDIA's latest Drive removes the light hash rate limiter which makes
sense in a world where official ethereum mining is no more or the fact that the
same driver contains references to new modified models of the RTX 3060 3060 TI
and a new 3070 TI but NVIDIA vegan video they gotta keep
some cars close to the chest go on then keep your secrets Netflix has officially
announced the price and launch date of their new ad supported subscription tier
after much rumor mongering and value hooing the new plan will cost 6.99 USD a
month we'll launch November 3rd in 12 countries including the US Canada and
the UK and will be named basic with ads which was my my name in high school
subscribers of that tier will have to make do with 720p quality at maximum and
four to five minutes of ads per hour as well as a smaller Library oh really as
Netflix has a limited number of movies and shows was and movies will not be
available due to licensing restrictions weird for a plan that's only three
dollars cheaper than the 10 basic plan that seems like a lot of limitations but
Netflix hasn't exactly had a great year going through a real bad subscriber

the wild Gardens not join them but this may not be an example of Keck Giants
subverting their own stated goals of openness matter isn't an ecosystem in
itself it's simply a set of Standards one of those standard features called

be just as simple to switch devices to Apple's ecosystem

gross Brazil steadfastly refuses to stop

Microsoft's deal with the US Army to provide hololens based headsets isn't
going super well according to a report attained by Bloomberg and Business
Insider it claims that wearing the headset made the soldiers experience
nausea headaches and strained eyes with one soldier saying the tech would have
gotten us killed in a combat situation don't worry though the deal is a 10-year
contract worth over 21 billion dollars so Microsoft probably has time to get it
right before gun toting robot dogs take over the countryside probably also you
know there's just Quest headsets they gotta deal with meta now
