you know what that's enough no more tech news there's been too much
tech news already i'm done i'm out come on
one more okay one more tech news yes if there was
any lingering doubt about the legitimacy of the leaks concerning NVIDIA's rtx
super line of graphics cards they're probably gone now listings for evga's
versions of the GeForce rtx 2060 super
and 2070 super hit amazon this morning
and were documented in fairly great detail the listings mentioned a launch
of july 9th which is consistent with information previously leaked by
videocards.com and yesterday video cards posted a photo
of a stock 2070 super then today they
detailed the spec changes we might see including slight boosts in clock speed
memory and memory speed according to these leaks the official announcement
for the super line will happen on july 2nd with availability on the 9th those
dates are placed basically perfectly to disrupt AMD's launch of the Radeon rx
5700 series on july the 7th although
still further leaks point to AMD
fleshing out their own lineup with an rx 5800 and 5900 later in the year
here's what i want to know why can't NVIDIA just let AMD have a nice launch
party for once they're kind of like that friend that makes your birthday all
about them yeah yeah speaking of hardware launches valve has just
officially launched their index vr headset reviews seem to be saying that
the index provides what might be the best vr experience yet with 1440 by 1600
pixels per eye and a 120 hertz refresh
rate furthermore the finger tracking knuckles controller also enables new
unique gameplay the only problem is that there aren't a ton of games that make
use of the new controllers and a complete kit with the headset base
stations and controllers costs 1
000 us dollars that is more than double the price of the 399 oculus rift s and
to make matters worse gabe newell made a joke about half-life 3 at the index
launch party and you know what gabe
that's not funny i know that's not funny anymore i'm upset i'm well i i would
love to check out the index but they wouldn't send me one they just didn't
even reply to my message so maybe later speaking of people being
upset at valve the company has responded to fan and developer complaints about
the mini game baked into the steam summer sale
you see this year's sale came with a mini game called grand prix players are
supposed to pick one of five teams boosting its score by buying games and
completing in-game quests random members
of the top three teams then get a chance to win one of the top games on their
wish list now the problem though is that the instructions weren't
super clear and many players ended up deleting games off their wish list in
order to prioritize more expensive ones that led developers to complain about
huge decreases in wish list numbers which are really important for game
visibility on the store furthermore players were also confused about how the
team boosting mechanic worked not that it ended up mattering because everybody
just joined team corgi anyway so valve has tweaked some features and
told players that they can just move their most wanted game to the top of
their wish list with no deletions required but it's unclear at this time
whether or not the sale can be salvaged because let's face it corgis would never
beat a hair in a race the whole thing was completely unrealistic from the get-go legs are too
short now it's time for the brick quicks brought to you by display regular
posters are cool but if you roll them up wrong just one time luke skywalker is
going to have a weird bent face forever well disc blades are magnet mounted
metal prints that are durable and look way cooler than a piece of paper anyway
display it has over 260 thousand artwork spanning many influences and styles and
they feature an easy magnetic mounting system with no power tools or holes in
the wall required plus display plants 10 trees for every display purchased
they're good people in fact they're so good they'll let you use discount code
LTT at checkout we're going to have that linked below to get 15 off so check out
display down below brick quicks ever heard of him
me neither you can't stop the leaks my friends this time we got a glimpse at
the upcoming ryzen 3900x on geekbench
where it almost matched the Intel core i9 9900k in
single threaded performance if i'm Intel i am like shaking in my
boots and i don't even wear boots furthermore it beat Intel's top
mainstream chip by 27 in the multi-threaded test
we also got some ryzen 3700x benchmarks showing that chip beating the 9900k in
multi-threaded performance so like here's the thing even if NVIDIA manages
to rain on AMD's Radeon launch parade
ryzen should bring a smile back to dr seuss face and doesn't she deserve it
she works so hard revolutionary and visionary designer
joni ive is leaving apple after almost 30 years he was the right-hand man of
steve jobs and was instrumental in creating the sleek minimalist look that
apple products are known for but don't worry he's not going far he's
creating his own design company what was it called love something love oh i don't
know i can't make love no that's probably not it and he's going to have
apple as his first client so hopefully we'll still be able to make fun of those
apple launch videos by doing a british accent on a white background for years
to come and there's more leaks by the way
photos have popped up of samsung's upcoming galaxy note 10 plus so i guess
note 10 pro is not gonna be the moniker okay that's fine the phone features a
nearly bezel-less design with a singular hole punch camera at the top
and the note 10 plus is expected to be the first samsung phone to drop the
headphone jack teaching us yet again
that lesson about why we cannot trust our heroes luke skywalker failed and
this is basically the same thing hackers broke into the russian search giant
yandex late last year in an attempt to spy on users and they were reportedly
sponsored by a western nation specifically a member of the five eyes
alliance so that's the us britain australia new zealand and
canada you know if you ask me it was probably
the kiwis yeah they their island is small but they can be very fierce never
cross a kiwi that's what i say and the pentagon has apparently developed a
device that can identify people from 200 meters away by detecting their unique
cardiac signature or heartbeat with an
infrared laser well yep i think it's time to just cancel facial recognition
research because this is like just way way easier
guys who are you pew who are you pew pew i know who i am and it's time to cancel
this episode because it's over thanks for watching guys and hey if you need
more tech news i want you to know that i'm going to be right back here on
monday just kidding i'm taking monday off but it'll be someone yeah
it's going to be riley oh poor riley
