google was expected to unveil the pixel 6a at their i o conference this morning
but surprisingly the phone may have been the least interesting thing at the show
because there are also a bunch of new features for its services a summaries
feature in spaces that basically creates ai-powered tldrs the ability to search
nearby restaurants or stores using a picture or screenshot an ad center to
manage your privacy settings and choose which brands
you want to see ads from wow dystopian and google wallet support for digital
drivers licenses and more just like apple wallet so you can have another way
to declare your allegiance to corporation b instead of a huzzah
let's go but my favorite part had to be the new thing where you can look
directly at a nest hub max's camera to ask a question instead of saying hey did
i just activate everybody's googles sorry i feel like we don't assert
dominance over our devices enough from time to time as for the pixel 6a
it's got the same tensor chip as the six and six pro a disappointing six gigs of
RAM and no headphone jack for 449
dollars the same price as the 5a there's also the new pixel buds pro now with
active noise cancelling for 199 which will be up for pre-order along with the
6a on july 21st and even though the pixel watch isn't launching until the
fall google finally decided to confirm that yes it's a thing the leaks were
correct look at it look at it it's right there do you see it it's a watch
oh and also google's working on a new pixel tablet for next year oh and they
showed a new google glass prototype okay now it's out of our system way too
much you did great Colton you're doing great decompress AMD launched a bunch of new
gpus yesterday the Radeon rx 6950xt
6750xt and 6650xt and so far reviews seem to be
cautiously positive as alex points out in our LTT review the 6950xt trades
blows in gaming with the GeForce rtx 3090 ti but suffers in productivity the
good news is it's nearly half the price of NVIDIA's flagship and better yet it
seems like graphics card prices may actually be stained somewhat close to
msrp now that the GPU shortage is calming down a bit check out the full
LTT review for the full lowdown and maybe a couple other ones as well spread
your net wide and you will entrap more aquatic animals to kill and eat that's
what my grandpa used to say wise man he was Intel had a conference of their own
yesterday which they used to announce seven new mobile 12th gen hx series
processors led by the core i9 12950hx
Intel's first laptop chip with 16 cores
eight for power 8 for efficiency and 24 threads wow wow team blue says its hx
chips feature desktop caliber silicon in a mobile package which almost always
means still worse than a lot of desktops pretty good for a laptop
who needs google translate when you have us thanks Colton
all the hx series chips will arrive in laptops later this year with native
support for overclocking memory with only the 12 900 hx and 12 800 hx
supporting CPU chlor chlor core core core overall
CPU core overclocking nice but hey these are laptops we're talking about you want
to burn your legs off build your own processor with it with the build your
own box from our spo no that's not what it is riley help now it's time for quick
bits brought to you by mind the smart data assistant that helps you discover
where your data is and helps you ask services you no longer use to delete
your information they don't need it anyways data hoarding is a problem
you're helping them too see even when you delete an app from your phone or
deactivate one of your social accounts they still hold your personal data and
these days with breaches happening left and right you probably don't want
companies that you don't use holding your info we ran our email and over 290
companies are holding our data including many that held our financial information
with mine it's super easy to send an official data deletion request so sign
up at samemind.com using the link below and own your data it's mine if you're
ever lost reach out to the quick bits they will guide you no guarantees wear
but they will guide you after a year of sketchy partial hacks
and trojan schemes NVIDIA's light hash rate money limiter on its rtx 30 series
gpus has been cracked by nicehash the company's software tool doesn't
completely work on rtx 3050 and 3080s and only supports mining with one
algorithm but hey they did it good job
thankfully it doesn't seem like this will lead to a rush of miners buying up
gpus because they were already doing that anyway
it's just somewhat satisfying to see the limiter hacked after NVIDIA called it
unhackable it's like a crime against nature has been reversed you do stupid
things and stupid things happen to you that's how the saying goes words of
wisdom after 21 years apple has discontinued
the ipod line sorry moment of silence for ipod the
company will still sell ipod touches until supplies run out but they won't be
making any more i remember my four gig ipod mini that could hold a thousand
songs did you have a four game crazy i actually did i legitimately did i knew
that anyways rest in peace ipod at least you became old enough to drink cheers
match group the parent company of tinder and other dating apps has filed a
lawsuit against google for forcing to use google's billing system on the play
store it's a very similar suit to the one filed by epic games which ended up
getting fortnite kicked off the marketplace but the trial for that one
hasn't even started so i'd swipe left on the chances of this one getting resolved
any time oh good joke cole i think you wrote that
joke i've never used that app tesla is shipping out an urgent over-the-air
update to 130 000 vehicles after
widespread reports of touch screen issues apparently caused by a CPU
overheating during fast charging it's unclear whether affected units are used
in the more recently shipped ryzen based chipsets but what is clear is that tesla
fanboys could find a way to make this sound like a positive no need to use the
heating system praise elon he will save us and hashtag cryptocrash
is trending on social media as the price of bitcoin ethereum and many other coins
has fallen sharply driven by problems with the so-called stablecoin tara usd
to make matters worse coinbase is warning users that if the company goes
bankrupt they might lose the cryptocurrency stored in their accounts
which frankly sounds kind of cringe and not coin based at all
and that's all of the cringe for today come back on friday for more base news
the best takes on the internet from yours truly Colton you do the best takes
those ghosts they're coming to hunt yeah call now
