1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,879
tomorrow's groundhog day which means you might get stuck in a time loop which

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:12,240
means you won't hear any tech news again until you escape it i'm sorry we're

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:16,080
trying to fix this but yeah

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,160
we'll get there eventually stadia is a google product and so naturally it lives

5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:25,680
in a continual state of fear that it will be shut down as soon as google gets

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:27,519
distracted by something else

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:33,200
it's the prompter remote not working well stadia isn't getting shut down

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:37,120
yet but google is shutting down its first party game development studio

9
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:41,680
stadia chief phil harrison cited an exponentially increasing cost of

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:46,239
producing games in-house as the only real reason which to be fair is a good

11
00:00:44,239 --> 00:00:50,239
one aaa game development budgets are often in the hundreds of millions of

12
00:00:48,559 --> 00:00:54,879
dollars range the rest of phil's statement had that

13
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:59,199
classic pr jargon found in every stadia press release talking about

14
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:03,920
important opportunities to work with partners seeking a gaming solution all

15
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:10,840
built on stadius advanced technical infrastructure and platform

16
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:12,799
dude you don't sound like a gamer at

17
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:16,720
all anyways for now it looks like stadia

18
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:21,360
will survive on third-party titles for a while which is a shame as i was really

19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:26,240
looking forward to search algorithm simulator 2022. it's like a triple a

20
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:31,040
version of a dinosaur game obviously the GPU supply situation has been miserable

21
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:35,840
lately but what if you've been looking at getting a console instead well we

22
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,360
still have bad news for you mike spencer the head of microsoft's investor

23
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:44,079
relations department recently sat down with the new york times and said that

24
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:46,159
it's going to be until at least june

25
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:51,119
when the supply situation for the xbox series x and s gets appreciably better

26
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,280
spencer said that although microsoft sold as many as they could during the

27
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:59,119
final quarter last year the issue has been as you guessed it supply shortages

28
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:02,960
for components especially as the manufacturing facilities are also making

29
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:07,600
components for other gadgets since AMD chips lie at the heart of the

30
00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:11,520
new xboxes it sounds like team red is trying to get supply for both pc and

31
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,959
console gamers two groups of people that are

32
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:19,360
famously patient matchmaking takes the time that it does

33
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:23,040
you know i got all day i don't need to play right now

34
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:27,040
you go first of course one thing that may help with all these shortages is

35
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:31,360
AMD's simply increasing manufacturing capacity as it turns out that's exactly

36
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:36,560
what they're trying to do AMD has long partnered with taiwanese outfit tsmc to

37
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:41,920
manufacture its chips but according to reports AMD is now trying to work out a

38
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:44,239
deal with samsung as well apparently AMD

39
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:48,959
initially approached tsmc about ramping up its production but unsurprisingly

40
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:54,319
many other companies are also currently pushing tsmc's manufacturing capacity

41
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:58,640
leading AMD to look to korea instead we know samsung is already working with AMD

42
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:04,159
in some capacity because samsung's next exynos chipset will come with an AMD GPU

43
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:08,879
but samsung also is producing NVIDIA's rtx 3000 series gpus so

44
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:13,440
hopefully the old red versus green rivalry doesn't break out there and make

45
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:18,080
a stock shortage worse i think a headline like NVIDIA and AMD's

46
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,879
gpus destroy each other in a factory fight

47
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:24,159
might send some gamers over the edge what do you mean

48
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,280
wait i can't buy a GPU yeah you just actually can't now it's

49
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:32,400
time for the quick bits brought to you by redux redux is a pc builder striving

50
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:37,760

57
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:04,640
i've heard that somewhere before iphone owners that also own apple watches will

58
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:10,000
soon be able to unlock their phone with face id even if they're wearing a mask

59
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:11,840
thanks to an upcoming iOS 14.5 update

60
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:16,959
the watch needs to already be unlocked but if it is looking at the connected

61
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,639
iphone with a mask should unlock it now

62
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:22,400
you might be tempted to sell your gamestop shares in order to buy an apple

63
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:28,960
watch and to that i say no brethren to the diamond hands be true

64
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,720
oh geez although cryptocurrency is

65
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:36,240
currently enjoying another surge in popularity one major country isn't too

66
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:41,120
keen on the idea of continuing to allow it india the world's second largest

67
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:45,840
country is considering banning private crypto such as bitcoin and ethereum the

68
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:50,160
indian parliament instead wants to roll an official government-sanctioned

69
00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:56,240
cryptocurrency although this could help stabilize the exchange rates it's bad

70
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:58,240
news for dogecoin lovers going to

71
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:02,000
if you need a covet test but want to do it at home instead of waiting in a long

72
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:06,000
line there might be some good news on the horizon as the us is reportedly

73
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:11,440
investing nearly a quarter billion dollars into a deal to have australian

74
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,840
company illume manufacture 8.5

75
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:18,720
million smartphone based tests which can give you the results in just 15 minutes

76
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:22,960
dang probably up your butt yeah since proof of negative test is often required

77
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:26,880
for an international travel it could be very useful for anyone that wants to get

78
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:30,960
on a plane you might have dropped big bucks to get a super premium power

79
00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:35,039
supply but it turns out it can have issues too Corsair has issued in recall

80
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:40,800
on some of its high-end hx power supplies sold in the second half of last year the

81
00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:44,720
defective psus may not boot up your system correctly but the good news is

82
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:48,800
there's no risk of them damaging your pressures hardware perfect hardware

83
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,800
if you're affected you can contact Corsair for a replacement unless you

84
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:57,199
want a very expensive paperweight how do i keep all these papers down Corsair

85
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,039
and speaking of game streaming GeForce now's latest update brings support to a

86
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:04,240
couple new platforms you can access the streaming service directly through

87
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,759
google chrome whereas previously you needed a Windows desktop app

88
00:06:05,919 --> 00:06:13,360
additionally the update enables GeForce now on the apple m1 devices like

89
00:06:10,479 --> 00:06:17,840
macbooks so you don't need to let anyone tell you that you can't game on a mac as

90
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:21,120
long as you let apple control all your hardware decisions

91
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:25,440
i can do whatever i want anyway that's our show so come back on wednesday where
