1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,560
look i know that it's been a whole day since the last TechLinked

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,120
but we're here now we're here

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:16,400
and that's what matters yesterday microsoft just decided to

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:20,320
throw a metric butt ton of announcements and unveilings in our face from surface

5
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:24,880
devices to Windows updates so we better get to it there's no time for jokes

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:28,720
james get your head in the game man come on

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:33,680
the new surface pro 6 puts a new Intel 8th gen core CPU up to 16 gigs of RAM

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:38,640
and a one terabyte SSD in the same chassis as last year's surface pro

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,879
yeah i know starting at 8.99 the surface laptop 2 does essentially the same thing

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:47,920
but starts at 9.99 and both models are getting a fancy black version nice the

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:54,480
surface studio 2 also gets an updated processor a 38 brighter screen wow and a

12
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:58,399
2 terabyte SSD option microsoft also unveiled the surface headphones for 350

13
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:01,600
dollars because releasing headphones is what you do when you have pretty good

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,840
brand strength i guess is that show me the money

15
00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:09,600
xiaomi has brand strength headphones do they do headphones everybody does little

16
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:14,240
rice is what xiaomi means did you know that yes okay these ones are wireless

17
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:18,479
with cortana and adjustable levels of noise cancellation using the earcup dial

18
00:01:16,479 --> 00:01:22,000
no official word on the pocket size dual screen surface andromeda device unless

19
00:01:20,479 --> 00:01:26,400
you count microsoft chief product designer panos panet telling the verge

20
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:30,799
that the company is still working on unconventional designs and that

21
00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:33,200
andromeda is his baby as long as he

22
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:37,200
doesn't think it's a real baby trust me i've made that mistake one too many

23
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:41,200
times but that's not all the microsoft news believe it or not

24
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:44,320
ah the Windows 10 october update is rolling out now and it's bringing some

25
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:48,240
actually pretty cool features with it the your phone app allows you to text

26
00:01:46,399 --> 00:01:53,200
and access files from your Android phone on desktop no iphone support yet or ever

27
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:56,960
probably cloud clipboard gives access to your clipboard history lets you copy on

28
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:00,079
one Windows 10 machine and paste on another and support is coming to

29
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:04,799
swiftkey in the future so you can do the same with your phone finally yeah i know

30
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:07,840
right but perhaps most exciting or not exciting at all depending on your

31
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:11,920
situation is the rollout of microsoft's directx ray tracing tech which means

32
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:16,319
that the carpet is laid out finally for games to start releasing rtx patches for

33
00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:19,760
NVIDIA's new graphics cards will we finally discover what life with ray

34
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:25,599
tracing is like and want to go back in time and kill ourselves because we didn't have it until now

35
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,760
only time will tell i probably don't probably don't want to do that that

36
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:32,239
doesn't make any sense there's a few more over

37
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:36,160
and under the hood updates in the update so check the news sources below for the

38
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:40,000
roundup and this is less of a tech story than it is a gaming story but leaked

39
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:44,480
footage of what looks like an awesome rpg set in the harry potter universe is

40
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:48,160
apparently real sources have confirmed to eurogamer that the project is

41
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:52,080
currently in development at utah-based avalanche software working under the

42
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:56,239
publisher warner bros interactive the game is apparently set in the 1800s and

43
00:02:54,400 --> 00:03:00,800
follows a fifth year student who joins hogwarts late in the game uh what you

44
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:05,680
don't like that no one likes the old guy in class what

45
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,680
no see those mature students

46
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:12,720
oh always raising their hands oh no he's not he's still in fifth year he doesn't join

47
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:19,000
like the kindergarten hey guys

48
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,000
that'll be a whole different story

49
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,879
now i'm not a huge fan of the world of hogwarts or whatever but if this game

50
00:03:23,519 --> 00:03:29,200
could do for harry potter what knights of the old republic did for star wars

51
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:34,159
games i'm sold now if i only had time to play video games am i right james

52
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:39,200
who plays games we're adults we don't play games yeah we just work here

53
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,959
exactly we live here i'm going to sleep

54
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:44,879
speaking of video games they look pretty sick in an ultra wide monitor which is

55
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:48,959
why you should enter lg's ultrawide festival 2018. lg is giving away

56
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,480

61
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:09,439
on to

62
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:18,160
the quick bits the wi-fi alliance has decided logically in my opinion to stop

63
00:04:14,239 --> 00:04:20,919
this whole 802.11 abgn acax nonsense

64
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:28,560
just switch to regular old numbers so 802.11n is now y54 802.11 ac is now y55

65
00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:32,160
and when 802.11 ax comes out next year it'll be wi-fi six there have been six

66
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:36,160
wi-fi's exactly who knows how many more wi-fi's

67
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:40,800
are out there personally i'm holding out to a wi-fi 10 or wi-fi x so some people

68
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:45,040
call it and then what happens oh yeah naturally the wi-fi xs the max yeah

69
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,080
that's the fastest biggest wi-fi and then your wi-fi will be able to sense

70
00:04:46,479 --> 00:04:52,960
your face razer has released the sela sila which

71
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,639
is not yet another headset or keyboard but a high performance wi-fi router

72
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:01,199
meant specifically to boost gaming network traffic it doesn't have wi-fi x

73
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:05,600
no not yet if only it's got cool new razer design

74
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,880
features like fast track multi-channel zero weight and mesh capability i don't

75
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:13,600
have time to find out what those mean but they're probably awesome for gamers

76
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:18,400
how do you even game on a normal router what are you a pleb look it's the

77
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:24,240
unreleased Intel core i9 9900k listed on amazon for 582.50 in a really cool

78
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:29,280
pentagonal sphere box pentagonal pentagonal pentagonal sphere box to

79
00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:32,560
refresh your memory it's got 8 cores 16 threads and a turbo clock of 5 gigahertz

80
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,479
and it's supposed to launch before the end of the year it's going to be a good chip

81
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:40,479
it's great to see it's going to be a good box too what maybe isn't good is a

82
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:46,080
leak that implies Intel may be splitting their high-end desktop platform from the

83
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:48,639
singular x299 into the z399 chipset

84
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:54,880
sporting the lga 2066 socket and the higher-end x599 chipset with the lga

85
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,160
3647 socket this is good i thought AMD

86
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,440
and Intel were screwing around with naming schemes just like you know shooting the

87
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:04,080
crap but it's good to see they've stopped pretending and just had full-on

88
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:08,160
aneurysms with this what are names anyways you know

89
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:11,840
just words but steel series thankfully is keeping it simple they've released

90
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:16,400
the rival 650 wireless which will run for 10 hours on a 15 minute charge and

91
00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:20,319
has no lag giving logitech's lightspeed tech a run for its money the launch
