it's black friday a day as dark as the
endless depths of my soul and amazon employees in europe seem to
agree as workers in germany spain italy and the uk chose the busiest shopping
day of the year to go on strike
in madrid 90 of the fulfillment center staff reportedly went on strike causing
amazon to divert orders to its other depots according to unions similar
numbers of employees walked in germany and the uk although amazon stated amazon
amazon stated that the majority of their employees are continuing to work and
that there will be no impact on customer orders the workers are striking to gain
better pay and safer working conditions an issue that has been prevalent in the
news in the past year or so it's not clear whether amazon's employees will
see their demands met but it sounds like they're
kind of down maybe they should order something nice online that'll cheer him up hey wait
what microsoft just can not catch a
break with the Windows 10 october update after being released and
then pulled and then delayed and then finally released again a new issue has
been identified triggered by some incompatible Intel drivers Intel
inadvertently released display drivers that accidentally enabled features that
aren't supported in Windows 10 which
effectively cause audio to stop working
on certain configurations now microsoft has blocked the update from rolling out
to users with the affected drivers and they are working on a fix and making
matters worse this isn't the only thing that microsoft has had to pull this
month a recent patch for office whose primary function was updating japanese
calendars to conform to their recent change of emperor caused crap are you
serious caused crashes and had to be
pulled but i mean that's understandable we all know the drill for imperial
succession your calendar change heads get lopped off it's
business as usual and we reported on monday that apple was
scaling back iphone production due to low sales but now they're taking some
more drastic steps they are slashing prices of the iphone 10r in japan and
apparently restarting production of the original iphone 10. now i don't think
this has anything to do with the emperor situation but we have no way of knowing
for sure anyway the resumption of iphone 10 production is apparently related to
the fact that apple made an agreement with samsung to purchase a certain
quantity of OLED display panels according to a report by the wall street
journal i mean you'd think apple would have learned with the iphone 5c
you don't buy an iphone because it's cheap
you buy it because it's jewelry you
don't buy inexpensive jewelry well at
least shut up shut up shut up shut up

and even you who doesn't want that NVIDIA released the rtx 2080 ti 2018
2070 but until now we've heard nothing about the rtx 2060 that is until now
final fantasy benchmarks have leaked showing performance that's about 30
faster than the gtx 1060.
now you cut that total performance in half when you turn on ray tracing and
the 2060 should be perfect for glorious cinematic 720p gaming we know google is
working on the mysterious fuchsia os
which would fuse certain aspects of chrome os and Android and now we know
what it's being tested on an engineer from huawei revealed that the company is
testing the os on an honor play running the company's chiron 970 processor so
maybe google is working with huawei again like they did for the nexus 6p
on the next big google flagship phone
the future may be fuchsia or it might still be Android Android
Android Android's probably not going anywhere speaking of google we've got another
leak of the pixel 3 light this time alongside an actual pixel 3 so the light
appears to actually be bigger with larger bezels a single rather than dual
front camera equipped device and also have a single rather than dual
front-facing speaker setup so maybe it will be light in terms of spec rather
than size sorry to disappoint you literalists also
light is more of a mass thing anyway but speaking of google again the company's
ai call making feature duplex is rolling out now to some pixel owners definitely
sounds cool although one guy demoing the feature took just as much time to tell
google to make the call as i would have taken to just
call the restaurant but then you have to talk to like
a real person
