00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:07.120
it's 10 seconds to midnight midnight being tech news

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:12.719
and 10 seconds being right now oh no

00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:16.480
is it actually 10 seconds to midnight right now

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:20.080
we have no time to find out okay if you've been paying attention to trends

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:24.480
in the cpu market you'll know that it's becoming more and more common to see

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:29.519
consumer processors with tons of cores on them but raw clock speeds just keep

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:33.280
getting faster as well intel's upcoming high-end core i9 10 900k not really high

00:00:32.559 --> 00:00:41.200
but set to launch this spring reportedly has a turbo clock of a whopping 5.1

00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:46.640
gigahertz out of the box according to a leak found on the 3dmark database and

00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:50.960
could go even higher without a manual overclock if good cpu heatsink is paired

00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:55.039
with it although clock speed on its own isn't a great indicator of performance

00:00:52.719 --> 00:01:00.079
these days it still might raise a few eyebrows considering that it wasn't long

00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:04.400
ago that multi-core designs tended to sacrifice that pure megahertz for

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:08.400
thermal management however we don't yet know the tdp so hopefully

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:12.720
you won't have to keep your shiny new rig inside of a meat locker it's not

00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:16.320
advisable either way i think the meat locker thing is it's not going to be

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:19.840
enough although there were rumors of a new revision of the nintendo switch

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:23.920
coming this year wow there were rumors of that last year too an official

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:28.880
announcement from nintendo's ceo has put those rumors to bed 99. this might be a

00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:33.200
little disappointing to nintendo fans though from nintendo's point of view

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:37.280
they simply may not feel compelled to dump time and money into developing a

00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:41.280
new model although the switch's hardware is considerably weaker than what we'll

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:46.560
see in the upcoming playstation 5 and xbox series x the switch's appeal isn't

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:51.520
based on its graphical capabilities it's based on its cuteness

00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:55.200
plus sales of consoles and games are still very strong so i don't expect them

00:01:53.759 --> 00:02:00.159
to switch to a much more powerful gpu anytime soon

00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:05.680
switch yeah you get it

00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:10.399
yeah that's the game yep that's that's the one although blackberry phones were

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:13.760
everywhere in the mid-2000s especially in the business world it looks like

00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:17.920
they're finally going to be put out to pasture quite soon although the actual

00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:23.599
company blackberry limited hasn't actually been making the phones themselves for a long time blackberry

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:27.120
branded phones manufactured by tcl are still available however tcl just

00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:32.959
announced that the sales of the blackberry devices that they make will

00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:35.280
end on august 31st the move isn't too

00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:39.920
surprising as the rebranded blackberries haven't been selling particularly well

00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:44.160
and haven't impressed reviewers just a little too tart the brand might live on

00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:48.879
if it can find another partner to manufacture the phone and they should

00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:53.200
still be around in south asia where a different company is responsible for

00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:56.959
production but if you live anywhere else and really want a fruit-themed phone

00:02:55.440 --> 00:03:01.840
well you might have to bite the bullet and go with apple oh my gosh

00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:06.480
oh and now for the quackbots brought to you today by drop panda

00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:10.319

00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:37.680
below quackity bad bats batch candy just won uh take that bet hmm if you're tired

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:43.040
of sending in your idevices when they're broken or heading to your nearest genius

00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:48.879
bar apple is now offering house calls in several major metro areas including new

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:51.120
york la chicago houston san francisco

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:55.519
and dallas it should be noted that these on-site repairs are being carried out by

00:03:53.040 --> 00:04:00.480
contractors and you might have to pay an extra fee though for californians it may

00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:04.799
be worth not sitting in traffic especially if you're going straight up

00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:08.159
the five toward 99 north before hopping on the 110. you know what i don't know

00:04:06.239 --> 00:04:12.000
what those numbers mean but i've been to san francisco i don't

00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:15.280
want to go back traffic is just ridiculous yeah that's

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:19.440
what i'm talking about don't take the 99. voting in elections over the

00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:24.639
internet has long been a bit of a pipe dream in most places but some folks in

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:29.680
one u.s state may get their shot at it for the upcoming presidential election

00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:32.080
west virginia west virginia's governor

00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:36.800
is expected to sign a bill to compel local authorities to allow voters with

00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:40.880
disabilities to cast ballots online although the state doesn't have tons of

00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:45.120
time to work out security issues the limited number of people who will

00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:48.880
actually vote this way make it a useful litmus test maybe people will actually

00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:52.560
pay attention to the canadian elections if the tech ever makes it uh

00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:56.960
oh canadian elections no

00:04:54.960 --> 00:05:02.400
remind me the switch has just made nintendo an extra 260 thousand dollars

00:05:00.400 --> 00:05:06.160
but not in the way you'd think a hacker who breached nintendo's servers to

00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:11.680
download confidential information about the console was fined that amount of

00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:14.800
money and also faces prison time for both hacking as well as sex crime

00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:20.160
charges that's a spicy combo he was actually

00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:25.199
caught once and asked not to do it again because that works right

00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:28.639
but guess what he started hacking again in 2018 so yeah

00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:33.039
maybe you don't screw up your second chances you've been given right everybody deserves one but hacking's so

00:05:32.080 --> 00:05:36.800
fun yeah it kind of is but you know you

00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:41.919
gotta you gotta prison a startup in scotland thinks it has an

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:48.000
interesting new way to get satellites into orbit skyrora not only uses 3d

00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:52.880
printed rockets for thrusts but also uses rocket fuel made from recycled

00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:57.440
plastic how does that work the engine should be able to get small satellites

00:05:54.479 --> 00:06:02.160
into low earth orbit a little over 300 miles above the surface and promises 45

00:06:00.320 --> 00:06:05.680
percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than kerosene so i guess you can say

00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:08.720
this is all pretty cool

00:06:08.880 --> 00:06:14.400
and the artist just pranked some people in berlin by carrying around 99

00:06:13.039 --> 00:06:19.199
smartphones not lovely ones that had google maps up

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:24.240
and running in a little red wagon with that many phones in one place on one

00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:28.400
street at a time it fooled google maps into thinking there was a traffic jam

00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:32.639
google didn't seem upset at all in its official response and it could actually

00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:37.120
make a valuable point into how google can fix its systems to deliver more

00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:40.720
accurate results of course here in vancouver which is one giant perpetual

00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:45.600
traffic jam can confirm the situation may have made far less of

00:06:44.479 --> 00:06:49.919
a point we live hell

00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:55.280
basically we're yeah you know you know the the viking

00:06:53.280 --> 00:07:00.240
hill was niflheim and it was supposed to be like just frozen over that's that's

00:06:57.840 --> 00:07:06.319
what canada is well yeah well that's our show come on back wednesday for more

00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:09.800
free flowing tech news whatever dude

00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:09.800
just let it flow
