next week is the start of CES which used to stand for Consumer Electronic Show
but now stands for nothing which sadly means it'll fall for anything let the
Rick rolls begin the NVIDIA RTX 580 has
been spotted or at least the box of an
MSI version has confirming that the card will come with 16 GB of ddr7 V RAM and a
256-bit memory bus which is exactly what the leak said at least the ones that
weren't Rick rolls the box images don't confirm anything else but thankfully
we've got Twitter people for that leaker Hong Shing 2020 tweeted that the RTX 590
will actually feature a 575 wat power rating instead of the 600 watts
predicted by previous leaks which was confirmed by The prominent leaker whose
name a linguistic expert has assured me is pronounced copete 7 kimy that expert
is me and anyway Miss Kimmy also said the RTX 580 will come in at 360 Watts
lower than previous leaks had indicated while still higher than its predecessor
but the 580 might as well be a plate of spaghetti with a PCIe slot if we don't
know the price thankfully we got a hint from a photo of a listing for a custom
580 made by ASUS €1,700
now hey that includes a 20% vat tax and
a custom ASUS board will probably cost above MSRP so this could equate to
around 1350 USD oh there's another clue
the listing says dlss 4 which copit
showed up once more to confirm is real
uh Source I made it up current rumors point
to at least the RTX 55080 being actually
released on January 21st but NVIDIA's CES keynote is at 6:30 p.m. Pacific on
Monday so we may cover it on Monday's episode even though that's when I was
supposed to have dinner with my family this is more important though but even
when it comes to official announcements the great big giant water balloon that
is CES just can't hold it all in
slashing around
sorry spilled a bit ASUS Samsung and MSI
all just announced the world's first 27in 4K OLED 240 HZ monitor they each
have their own version so uh which one
was actually first well it looks like they're all using Samsung displays
fourth gen QD OLED so I guess it was Samsung but what if you want High
refresh rate instead MSI just announced
the world's second 600hz monitor after
Acer announced the world's first one back in September woi zoi oh that's not
me reacting zoi is benq's gaming brand
and they also just announced a 600 HZ monitor yaowa that was real hey look at
this pimax announced new VR headsets with micro OLED panels and there's even
one called The Dream air that doesn't look like a whole PC strapped to your
face although if you prefer that look there's also the new pimax Crystal super
and while I'm anxious to see the new rumored Steam OS handheld at CES I'm
also intrigued by the new Atari gam station go which packs the company's
iconic track ball paddle and keypad
controllers into a gaming handheld which will either make using it feel like
you're hacking a cyberpunk system or
playing BPP it both are valid meta has
taken down the Instagram and Facebook accounts of more than two dozen AI
powered profiles after they went viral for making a mockery of the authenticity
of Human Experience something meta thought was sorely lacking on the
internet for some reason backlash over the AI grew on social media this past
week with many posts saying meta had just added them to their platforms but
the AI accounts were actually launched way back in 2023 and have been leaving
their AI excretions all over Facebook
and Instagram throughout 2024 you had
fake AI people pretending to watch movies at the drive-in or sew clothes
for their fake grandkids or spend winter break at the beach with their family oh
yeah my children are so funny and cool imagined with AI this week's backlash
seemed to have been kickstarted by a meta exact telling the financial times
the company plans to continue rolling out these Bots for a purpose that I
think you can only comprehend if you've had at least one VC funding round
because I I don't all 27 of these AI
accounts have now been wiped although meta told CNN they haven't deleted the
accounts they're just taking them down temporarily to fix a bug that prevented
people from blocking them so don't worry you will be able to block them when they
come back with all of their fake AI friends to take over for humans on
Facebook look you're not using it and someone has to and you simply must check

um crazy email sender it's an initialism
it has to stand for something you can't just call it C the FCC voted to
reinstate net neutrality rules in April 2024 after the rules were repealed by
the Trump Administration back in 2017 but a US appeals court has now blocked
the FCC from restoring net neutrality citing the Supreme Court's overturning
of the Chevron Doctrine last year without the Chevron Doctrine federal
agencies have less power to make up rules using arbitrary nonsense like
expert opinion and multivariate Analysis
sounds like Vibes to but hey at least the US government is getting in on the
nuclear energy craze they just announced a deal with major provider constellation
totally unrelated but it's almost CES week this is kind of how it's going to
be Apple has proposed paying $95 million
to settle a class action lawsuit over Siri listening to private conversations
which was filed after reports in 2019 of Apple contractors listening to such
recordings owners of Apple devices could get up to 20 bucks per device to to a
maximum of five if they swear under oath
that Siri was accidentally activated during a confidential or private
conversation Apple also apologized back in 2019 for this and said they wouldn't
keep private recordings like that anymore without user permission and so
it hasn't happened since the end
taiwan's foreign minister would like the world to know he absolutely did not
agree with the idea of blowing up the world's foremost semiconductor
manufacturer smmc okay I I don't know
not sure where anybody got that well the minister was answering a question about
Donald Trump's pick for under secretary of defense policy Elbridge Colby who in
2023 endorsed the idea that if China invades Taiwan the US should not allow
tsmc to fall into its hands intact and
in 2024 said destroying tsmc is table
stakes in that situation he's not alone rapidly disassembling tsmc is an idea
shared by others since at least 2022 in
US military Academia which is a thing
and Taiwan has also been saying no to the same idea for just as long just let
us blow it up a little bit no
stop and it's been a while since we've seen someone run the classic shooter
doom on something wacky so just in time
there's now a capture that requires you to play the game to prove you're human
just get three kills on nightmare difficulty or you're provably not a
sentient being it's simple it was made by guo Ral the CEO of versel the company
behind the v0o coding chatbot he even
shared the prompts he used to make what is actually not the world's first
doombased capture in 2021 Mikel Camp's
oresa made one but it was more like a 2d
Flash game using Doom assets that one
let so many Bots through and now we have
Chachi BT thanks a lot and now an unsarcastically
do before I speak to anyone okay
