well tech news is what happens when a laptop and a usb stick love each other
very very much
i need it for my eyes stop it Intel made a number of announcements at
their investor meeting yesterday but their big important investor meeting but
the most intriguing one was probably project end game which sounded like it
may be a competitor to game streaming services like GeForce now but kill us
all but team blue's graphics chief roger
kaduri didn't say it like that because he was talking to stuffy investors and
not hardcore game heads like you and me kaduri instead described the
end game as a software infrastructure initiative that will give users access
to arc gpus as a continual compute service
that's always available low latency persistent and immersive
notice he didn't say negative latency many big words investors love the big
words Intel also announced new arc based tile GPU chiplets that could be added to
its cpus for gaming performance somewhere between integrated and
discrete graphics so uh inter
discontegrated uh i don't know something like AMD's ap use and unfortunately
Intel also announced it was delaying the launch of its full fat arc gaming
graphics cards from q1 to q2 of this year meaning that's a whole other cue on
there we may not see the cards until june Intel i want a straight answer do
these cards actually exist and don't say they do but as a transformative next
evolution graphics technology like can i hold it can i eat it can i smell it
can i let it get nice and warm and hold it against my body
microsoft has required Windows 11 home users to log in with a microsoft account
since they launched the new operating system but Windows 11 pro users were
still free to make the horribly foolish decision to set up without an internet
connection thankfully microsoft will soon protect
those users from themselves as the latest Windows 11 pro insider build
features the same microsoft account requirement as the home version
uh on the one hand it's a strange move Windows 11 is the only mainstream
operating system that doesn't even let you perform basic setup without logging
in on the other hand did i use this hand twice
microsoft has steadily been increasing such account login requirements across
their services even vr now so it's not strange at all this is all very normal
good even yep move along now very good good job
and google has announced it will be bringing the privacy sandbox system that
it uses in chrome to Android ostensibly giving users greater control over what
data they can choose to share with advertisers many are drawing comparisons
between google's new approach and apple's recent changes to iOS 15 which
facebook says has has cost them 10 billion a year in ad revenue good news
but google says theirs is different because instead of giving the user the
ability to easily opt in to tracking privacy sandbox will use a much more
complex system of developers and tubes
developers can opt into using it so wait how is this better
well at the very least google won't be fully rolling out the new system for
another two years so we have lots of time to answer
that question and eventually come to peace with whatever google decides
anyway they know best very good and their business is ads unlike apples so
yeah they're gonna do it right now it's time for the quick bits brought
to you by csonic maker of power supplies so efficient and so reliable they'll
make you wish you could either hire or marry them marry me baby marry high or
kill that's the game we used to play for instance take the focus plus 750 watt
psu with an 80 plus gold rating ensuring 90 power efficiency at 50 system load
it's an excellent choice for mid-range systems plus it's fully modular
featuring hybrid fan control with fluid dynamics fan bearings and it keeps the
noise down and it comes with a 10-year warranty and this one's looking for a
long-term home so you go and get it and get the power supply that's good for you
at seasonic.com at the link below you know what that's your link we made that
link for you did you know that we don't even know
what quick bits are i don't know they just showed up one day and won't leave
can anyone help help if you can't wait till q2 to get Intel's
more powerful gaming gpus you could do some browsing on taobao as some users
have reportedly spotted listings for the older dg1 models that were initially
shipped exclusively in some pre-built pcs last year they don't perform that
much better than the integrated graphics you can find on many modern cpus but
they're graphics cards darn it and in this timeline just knowing you managed
to buy any GPU is a bit of a thrill oh i got the chills
