look i know that it's been a whole day since the last TechLinked
but we're here now we're here
and that's what matters yesterday microsoft just decided to
throw a metric butt ton of announcements and unveilings in our face from surface
devices to Windows updates so we better get to it there's no time for jokes
james get your head in the game man come on
the new surface pro 6 puts a new Intel 8th gen core CPU up to 16 gigs of RAM
and a one terabyte SSD in the same chassis as last year's surface pro
yeah i know starting at 8.99 the surface laptop 2 does essentially the same thing
but starts at 9.99 and both models are getting a fancy black version nice the
surface studio 2 also gets an updated processor a 38 brighter screen wow and a
2 terabyte SSD option microsoft also unveiled the surface headphones for 350
dollars because releasing headphones is what you do when you have pretty good
brand strength i guess is that show me the money
xiaomi has brand strength headphones do they do headphones everybody does little
rice is what xiaomi means did you know that yes okay these ones are wireless
with cortana and adjustable levels of noise cancellation using the earcup dial
no official word on the pocket size dual screen surface andromeda device unless
you count microsoft chief product designer panos panet telling the verge
that the company is still working on unconventional designs and that
andromeda is his baby as long as he
doesn't think it's a real baby trust me i've made that mistake one too many
times but that's not all the microsoft news believe it or not
ah the Windows 10 october update is rolling out now and it's bringing some
actually pretty cool features with it the your phone app allows you to text
and access files from your Android phone on desktop no iphone support yet or ever
probably cloud clipboard gives access to your clipboard history lets you copy on
one Windows 10 machine and paste on another and support is coming to
swiftkey in the future so you can do the same with your phone finally yeah i know
right but perhaps most exciting or not exciting at all depending on your
situation is the rollout of microsoft's directx ray tracing tech which means
that the carpet is laid out finally for games to start releasing rtx patches for
NVIDIA's new graphics cards will we finally discover what life with ray
tracing is like and want to go back in time and kill ourselves because we didn't have it until now
only time will tell i probably don't probably don't want to do that that
doesn't make any sense there's a few more over
and under the hood updates in the update so check the news sources below for the
roundup and this is less of a tech story than it is a gaming story but leaked
footage of what looks like an awesome rpg set in the harry potter universe is
apparently real sources have confirmed to eurogamer that the project is
currently in development at utah-based avalanche software working under the
publisher warner bros interactive the game is apparently set in the 1800s and
follows a fifth year student who joins hogwarts late in the game uh what you
don't like that no one likes the old guy in class what
no see those mature students
oh always raising their hands oh no he's not he's still in fifth year he doesn't join
like the kindergarten hey guys
that'll be a whole different story
now i'm not a huge fan of the world of hogwarts or whatever but if this game
could do for harry potter what knights of the old republic did for star wars
games i'm sold now if i only had time to play video games am i right james
who plays games we're adults we don't play games yeah we just work here
exactly we live here i'm going to sleep
speaking of video games they look pretty sick in an ultra wide monitor which is
why you should enter lg's ultrawide festival 2018. lg is giving away
ultrawide monitors and to celebrate they're embracing all creators who spend
a lot of time in front of monitors creating the best content including alan
walker world renowned dj and action movie kid a visual effects youtuber the
festival has three events to participate in so go participate and get a chance to
win an lg ultrawide monitor at the link below
on to
the quick bits the wi-fi alliance has decided logically in my opinion to stop
this whole 802.11 abgn acax nonsense
just switch to regular old numbers so 802.11n is now y54 802.11 ac is now y55
and when 802.11 ax comes out next year it'll be wi-fi six there have been six
wi-fi's exactly who knows how many more wi-fi's
are out there personally i'm holding out to a wi-fi 10 or wi-fi x so some people
call it and then what happens oh yeah naturally the wi-fi xs the max yeah
that's the fastest biggest wi-fi and then your wi-fi will be able to sense
your face razer has released the sela sila which
is not yet another headset or keyboard but a high performance wi-fi router
meant specifically to boost gaming network traffic it doesn't have wi-fi x
no not yet if only it's got cool new razer design
features like fast track multi-channel zero weight and mesh capability i don't
have time to find out what those mean but they're probably awesome for gamers
how do you even game on a normal router what are you a pleb look it's the
unreleased Intel core i9 9900k listed on amazon for 582.50 in a really cool
pentagonal sphere box pentagonal pentagonal pentagonal sphere box to
refresh your memory it's got 8 cores 16 threads and a turbo clock of 5 gigahertz
and it's supposed to launch before the end of the year it's going to be a good chip
it's great to see it's going to be a good box too what maybe isn't good is a
leak that implies Intel may be splitting their high-end desktop platform from the
singular x299 into the z399 chipset
sporting the lga 2066 socket and the higher-end x599 chipset with the lga
3647 socket this is good i thought AMD
and Intel were screwing around with naming schemes just like you know shooting the
crap but it's good to see they've stopped pretending and just had full-on
aneurysms with this what are names anyways you know
just words but steel series thankfully is keeping it simple they've released
the rival 650 wireless which will run for 10 hours on a 15 minute charge and
has no lag giving logitech's lightspeed tech a run for its money the launch
video for the mouse is also really great good stuff what did you think of it james is this a keyboard what are we a
mouse it's a mouse unfortunately we're out of good stuff to talk about today
