1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:06,000
i don't know are you okay

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:10,320
sorry i'm late you guys i was i was busy making myself pretty before i

3
00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:13,519
hosted tech link you probably can't tell though so you

4
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:19,039
know how we recently reported on how miners were already finding workarounds

5
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:20,480
for the rtx 3060 hash rate limiter well

6
00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:26,480
it looks like another one has been uncovered and it is ludicrously simple

7
00:00:23,279 --> 00:00:28,400
an HDMI dummy plug that costs six bucks

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:32,000
although miners were already aware that there's a beta driver floating around

9
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:38,079
that enables ethereum mining on one graphics card this dummy plug actually

10
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:40,399
allows a multi-GPU setup you see part of

11
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:45,120
how the limiter works is by requiring a monitor to be connected to each graphics

12
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:48,800
card but these cheap little dummies can fool the card into thinking there's a

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:52,960
monitor connected in fact i have one right here

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:56,079
there that's the one they're also useful for virtualization so that's why we've

15
00:00:54,559 --> 00:01:01,280
got a bunch of them lying around one user was able to mine ethereum at a

16
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:04,320
total of 192 mega hashes per second on a

17
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:06,880
4-way 3060 setup so it shouldn't take

18
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:11,760
him too long to make back the 24 dollars he spent on those four little plugs

19
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:16,479
you know how apple has been selling iphone 12s without a charger ostensibly

20
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:22,080
to reduce e-waste well one state in brazil is not buying it as the state of

21
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:26,240
sao paulo has nailed apple with a fine of nearly 2

22
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:29,040
million u.s dollars that's right us dollars

23
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,200
the state's consumer protection agency was concerned that apple's

24
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:39,119
environmentally friendly explanation was just a cover to screw over consumers and

25
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:44,079
was also upset about apple's claims about the iphone's water resistance now

26
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,159
2 million bucks is chump change to a company like apple but the bigger deal

27
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:52,880
here is that they might end up being forced to include chargers when selling

28
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,439
iphones in brazil which is a huge

29
00:01:54,399 --> 00:02:01,119
market samsung actually ended up having to do this with their phones so maybe brazil's

30
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,240
fight against apple will go a little better than that time they had to play

31
00:02:03,119 --> 00:02:09,119
germany hey got em if you're into mechanical keyboards

32
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:15,680
there's a good chance that cherry switches lie underneath your keycaps but

33
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:17,520
so far only on desktops well with one

34
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:21,040
exception but we won't talk about that it looks like that whole thing is about

35
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:26,560
to change though as cherry has released information on its upcoming ultra low

36
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:32,239
profile switches for laptops also known as alps switches wait no not that

37
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:36,319
as you might expect the switches are tactile and give acoustic feedback so

38
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:41,120
they'll probably appeal to fans of cherry mx blues and importantly they'll

39
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:44,400
support RGB backlighting as far as when you'll be able to get your hands on some

40
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:48,319
it looks like alienware will be one of the first companies to feature the new

41
00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:53,840
switches though you will have to dig pretty deep into your pockets for the uh

42
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:57,280
money to to get one because the cheapest laptop they offer with the cherry

43
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:01,120
switches starts at eighteen hundred dollars and then guess what you get to

44
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:07,840
pay another hundred and fifty dollars for the switches themselves but is any

45
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:09,760
price too much for tactile satisfaction

46
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,519
yeah our slash mechanical keyboards would say no

47
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:18,159
and you know who else would say no um oh it's no bad segue now it's time

48
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:23,760

59
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:08,560
microsoft promised dolby vision HDR support for the xbox series x and s well

60
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:13,519
guess what it looks like it's finally starting to arrive for a few games such

61
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:15,519
as gears 5 and borderlines 3 and only

62
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:19,199
for xbox insiders but it should be released to the general

63
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:22,479
public before the end of the year hopefully we'll see more titles

64
00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:31,040
supporting it soon as i can't wait to play techlink simulator 2021 in glorious

65
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:32,720
HDR on playstation 5. just kidding acer

66
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:37,600
has reportedly been hit with a major ransomware attack with a group of

67
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,560
criminals demanding 50 million us

68
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:45,040
dollars as for how acer got hacked in the first place it looks like a security flaw in

69
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:49,840
microsoft exchange left their network exposed acer has so far been

70
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:53,840
tight-lipped on the situation so let's just hope that predator monitor you've

71
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:57,600
been eyeballing won't suddenly shoot up in

72
00:04:54,840 --> 00:05:02,639
price and if you're in the market for an imac you should know that your buying

73
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:05,360
options are continuing to shrink apple

74
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:09,280
has already said no more imac pros that's exactly how they said it and now

75
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:15,039
there are no more 21 and a half inch models with a 512

76
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:20,880
Gigabyte or one terabyte SSD that leaves your storage options for

77
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:23,680
21.5 inch imacs quite limited indeed the

78
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:28,160
move comes ahead of the transition to m1 processors but it would be nice if

79
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:32,479
people who need an imac now could you know actually store things in it instead

80
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:35,520
of in a nas where everyone should be storing their data instead of on their

81
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:40,560
computer's internal drive it's been well publicized that

82
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:45,039
microsoft's latest Windows updates have given users major problems when trying

83
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:49,360
to print including blue screens and graphical glitches microsoft has since

84
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:53,280
released a fix but now users are reporting problems getting it through

85
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:57,600
Windows update the good news is that you can download and install the patch

86
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:01,440
manually but hey feel free to continue being dumbfounded at how printers still

87
00:05:59,919 --> 00:06:07,120
always seem to find a way to mess with us just die already

88
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:12,479
and cd project red has given us details on what its upcoming 1.2 patch for

89
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:17,759
cyberpunk 2077 will address does anyone care anymore uh one big fix will be how

90
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:21,280
police behave they should no longer be instantly appearing out of thin air

91
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:25,360
right behind you and other reported fixes involve being

92
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:29,440
able to unstick cars that get stuck on obstacles and having more flexibility

93
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:34,080
when it comes to assigning keys hopefully when it comes out this patch

94
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:38,080
won't cause more problems again and that's our show come back on wednesday

95
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:41,919
for another episode that we hopefully won't have to issue a correction for did

96
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:45,120
we do that never had to do that i don't think well

97
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,919
maybe we should have sometimes remember when we said no one's buying

98
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:52,720
iphones and it turns out that one was like the best-selling one ever i haven't

99
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,720
seen an iphone since
