00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.560
look i know that it's been a whole day since the last TechLinked

00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:09.120
but we're here now we're here

00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:16.400
and that's what matters yesterday microsoft just decided to

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:20.320
throw a metric butt ton of announcements and unveilings in our face from surface

00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:24.880
devices to Windows updates so we better get to it there's no time for jokes

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:28.720
james get your head in the game man come on

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

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:38.640
and a one terabyte SSD in the same chassis as last year's surface pro

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:42.879
yeah i know starting at 8.99 the surface laptop 2 does essentially the same thing

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:47.920
but starts at 9.99 and both models are getting a fancy black version nice the

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:54.480
surface studio 2 also gets an updated processor a 38 brighter screen wow and a

00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:58.399
2 terabyte SSD option microsoft also unveiled the surface headphones for 350

00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:01.600
dollars because releasing headphones is what you do when you have pretty good

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:05.840
brand strength i guess is that show me the money

00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:09.600
xiaomi has brand strength headphones do they do headphones everybody does little

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:14.240
rice is what xiaomi means did you know that yes okay these ones are wireless

00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:18.479
with cortana and adjustable levels of noise cancellation using the earcup dial

00:01:16.479 --> 00:01:22.000
no official word on the pocket size dual screen surface andromeda device unless

00:01:20.479 --> 00:01:26.400
you count microsoft chief product designer panos panet telling the verge

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:30.799
that the company is still working on unconventional designs and that

00:01:27.759 --> 00:01:33.200
andromeda is his baby as long as he

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

00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:41.200
times but that's not all the microsoft news believe it or not

00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:44.320
ah the Windows 10 october update is rolling out now and it's bringing some

00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:48.240
actually pretty cool features with it the your phone app allows you to text

00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:53.200
and access files from your Android phone on desktop no iphone support yet or ever

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:56.960
probably cloud clipboard gives access to your clipboard history lets you copy on

00:01:55.119 --> 00:02:00.079
one Windows 10 machine and paste on another and support is coming to

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

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:07.840
right but perhaps most exciting or not exciting at all depending on your

00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:11.920
situation is the rollout of microsoft's directx ray tracing tech which means

00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:16.319
that the carpet is laid out finally for games to start releasing rtx patches for

00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:19.760
NVIDIA's new graphics cards will we finally discover what life with ray

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

00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:27.760
only time will tell i probably don't probably don't want to do that that

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:32.239
doesn't make any sense there's a few more over

00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:36.160
and under the hood updates in the update so check the news sources below for the

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

00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:44.480
footage of what looks like an awesome rpg set in the harry potter universe is

00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:48.160
apparently real sources have confirmed to eurogamer that the project is

00:02:46.160 --> 00:02:52.080
currently in development at utah-based avalanche software working under the

00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:56.239
publisher warner bros interactive the game is apparently set in the 1800s and

00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:00.800
follows a fifth year student who joins hogwarts late in the game uh what you

00:02:58.959 --> 00:03:05.680
don't like that no one likes the old guy in class what

00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:07.680
no see those mature students

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

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:19.000
like the kindergarten hey guys

00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:19.000
that'll be a whole different story

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

00:03:23.519 --> 00:03:29.200
could do for harry potter what knights of the old republic did for star wars

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

00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:39.200
who plays games we're adults we don't play games yeah we just work here

00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:40.959
exactly we live here i'm going to sleep

00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:44.879
speaking of video games they look pretty sick in an ultra wide monitor which is

00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:48.959
why you should enter lg's ultrawide festival 2018. lg is giving away

00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:52.480
ultrawide monitors and to celebrate they're embracing all creators who spend

win an lg ultrawide monitor at the link below

00:04:06.959 --> 00:04:09.439
on to

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:18.160
the quick bits the wi-fi alliance has decided logically in my opinion to stop

00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:20.919
this whole 802.11 abgn acax nonsense

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

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

00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:36.160
wi-fi's exactly who knows how many more wi-fi's

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

00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:45.040
call it and then what happens oh yeah naturally the wi-fi xs the max yeah

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

00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:52.960
your face razer has released the sela sila which

00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:56.639
is not yet another headset or keyboard but a high performance wi-fi router

00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:01.199
meant specifically to boost gaming network traffic it doesn't have wi-fi x

00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:05.600
no not yet if only it's got cool new razer design

00:05:03.520 --> 00:05:08.880
features like fast track multi-channel zero weight and mesh capability i don't

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:13.600
have time to find out what those mean but they're probably awesome for gamers

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

00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:24.240
unreleased Intel core i9 9900k listed on amazon for 582.50 in a really cool

00:05:21.280 --> 00:05:29.280
pentagonal sphere box pentagonal pentagonal pentagonal sphere box to

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

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

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

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:46.080
leak that implies Intel may be splitting their high-end desktop platform from the

00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:48.639
singular x299 into the z399 chipset

00:05:46.080 --> 00:05:54.880
sporting the lga 2066 socket and the higher-end x599 chipset with the lga

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:56.160
3647 socket this is good i thought AMD

00:05:54.880 --> 00:05:59.440
and Intel were screwing around with naming schemes just like you know shooting the

00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:04.080
crap but it's good to see they've stopped pretending and just had full-on

00:06:02.320 --> 00:06:08.160
aneurysms with this what are names anyways you know

00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:11.840
just words but steel series thankfully is keeping it simple they've released

00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:16.400
the rival 650 wireless which will run for 10 hours on a 15 minute charge and

00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:20.319
has no lag giving logitech's lightspeed tech a run for its money the launch

00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:25.840
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

00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:29.280
