welcome back i'm james stribe your host for this is stupid last took our spot so
now we have to do this you like curtains this looks great NVIDIA is buying ARM
for a reported 40 million dollars if you're not familiar with it ARM is a big
company they're the company behind the architecture that powers the processors
inside the most popular smartphones and even some super computers although
NVIDIA is better known to many consumers as the maker of gaming gpus
they've also invested heavily in artificial intelligence systems like
their autonomous vehicle platform this acquisition of ARM could help NVIDIA
become a leader in the ai space as it foresees its partnership with ARM as a
way to get its technology into smartphones and iot devices which are
increasingly using on-device machine learning think about how your current
phone might use ai to enhance the photos you take because your normal and suck oh
i see you're a good person the merger should be finalized within a year and a half and NVIDIA says it'll still license
ARM technology to a broad range of customers even if they don't wear
leather jackets that's nice of them tiktok may have found new life in the
united states as reports indicate that they've agreed to partner with oracle
based out of california the u.s government had originally threatened to ban tick-tock because of national
security concerns due to the fact that it was owned by chinese firm fight dance
and not necessarily because of the thottery on there is off the charts
it's stratospheric since then tick tock has been searching for an american buyer
and although microsoft and walmart and google were all in the mix for a while
those talks reportedly broke down oracle isn't as well known in the consumer side
of things as the companies mentioned as they typically sell their products more
to large businesses than individual consumers but the deal could help
oracle's branding and the company has stated it anticipates creating a 20 000
new jobs in the united states
that's a lot of jobs for some reason i'm picturing tick tock command centers like
what they have at nasa except all the screens show meme videos sir they're all
there's a developing meme in the off the starboard bow look at this portrait mode
monitor starboard bow we've already seen a lot of phones that
try to do something more interesting with their screen than just have it be
that standard flat candy bar shape and lg have unveiled another take on this
trend called the lg wing it has two OLED
screens one stacked on top of the other the top one looks conventional enough
but you can rotate it 90 degrees to reveal a second smaller screen
underneath with the whole thing resembling the letter t lg calls this
swivel mode and apparently has big plans for it such as using it for camera
controls when you're taking a picture it's like a built-in selfie stick
though of course there has to be actual developer support if we want to see the
feature really take off it's a cool idea though lg thank you you would do well to
remember though that putting a second screen on something doesn't mean people will automatically rush out and buy it
remember the wii u exactly
i never saw one in real life really now it's time for the quick bits brought
to you by the drop sennheiser hd 6x headphones that's double x baby with
over 60 000 sold they're one of drop's all-time best sellers and for good
reason you get the same drivers from the hd650 for natural bass and balanced
mid-range plus a detachable six foot cable with a 1 8 inch plug for everyday
use it also comes with a quarter inch adapter for when you need it and it's
all backed by sennheiser's long-term support click the link below and join
the drop right now name one bit that's better than the quick bits huh
i'll wait you can't a massive data leak from razer has
exposed customer addresses contact information and order details good thing
i don't buy their crap okay just joking i don't but fortunately there were no
password or credit card data in the leak but hackers could use the info to reach
out to victims with phishing scams and actually sound believable because they
have their order information so if you ordered anything from razer you might
want to read every email using this face
yeah that'll work wait a second this just in AMD has just
released the designs of their rx 6000 graphics cards inside of fortnite
goddamn you 2020. the twitter announcement was enough okay you can go
onto the creative island in fortnite and check out what it looks like it looks
like a normal graphics card it's got three fans wow
i guess we're gonna have to wait until october 20th 20th 28th october 28th for
the real announcement wow there's nothing on this paper
the oculus quest 2 has leaked in an official promo video an officially
leaked promo video it doesn't quite confirm much except the physical design
and the fact that it's been upgraded from a qualcomm snapdragon 835 to a
snapdragon xr2 which is designed specifically for ar and vr hardware it's
also got six gigabytes of RAM up from four and an almost 4k display which
means nearly 2k per eye too many air quotes uh okay more details
are expected at facebook connect on september 16th like the device's refresh
rate and whether or not we'll need to let mark zuckerberg eat our souls in
order to use it my guess is yes he's got
a big tummy microsoft's xcloud streaming service is
set to go live tomorrow and there's a pleasant surprise for those of us who
are planning to take advantage of it more than 150 xbox games will be
available to play up from the 100 originally reported it's certainly good
news though unfortunately flight simulator isn't on the list
i mean nothing says realistic flight like trying to look at a 747 cockpit through
a tiny phone screen but hey would have been nice
okay and us customs has some egg on its face today after putting out a press
release about how it seized a large shipment of counterfeit apple airpods at
jfk airport in new york problem is it doesn't look like they were fake airpods
at all instead customs and border protection tweeted out photos of what
appeared to be actual one plus butts
so if you thought i was a jerk in my review on ShortCircuit of those and you
said just because they have stems doesn't mean they rip off the apple ha you're wrong i was right they are
totally blatant rip-offs and the government agrees with me okay boomer
so that's our show tune in next week when we will have our regular setback
and why do i have two cameras it's weird two is better than one
i'll just look in the middle of them goodbye everyone don't don't do this
