hey james guess what what Linus isn't here today
that means we can talk about whatever we want like what though
tech news yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i never see that coming
the wall street journal apparently has information about samsung's plans for
the galaxy s10 including the fact that one of the s10 models will have six
cameras yeah yeah that's kind of lackluster it's not
even shocking anymore so according to the wsj report there will be three main
variants of the s10 small medium and large with a fourth variant the galaxy
s10 beyond x or beyond 10 i guess featuring 5g
connectivity with 4 rear cameras and 2 front cameras along with a 6.7 inch
display the four rear cameras will probably be similar to the galaxy a9
setup which also has four rear cameras the phones are expected to launch in
february 2019 the normal time for samsung to launch their phones so that's
not surprising samsung is also expected however to launch their folding phone
the so-called galaxy f aka galaxy flex
or something they're still just trying trying to decide what to name it sometime next
year i can't decide whether samsung is actually innovating because these are
useful technological environments or whether they're just coming up with new
phone features in a panic because no one cares about phones anymore shut your
mouth what you like it google has padded in a way to make vr
more immersive without requiring the installation of a body harness and
omnidirectional treadmill in your living room those are so annoying
i have at least three motorized roller skates okay okay okay look settle down
settle down there's not an actual confirmed design for the product but
google's patent describes footwear with a system of wheels and motors that would
synchronize with the vr program to allow you to walk endlessly quote unquote
while staying within the vr safe zone there's a few suggestions of what the
omnidirectional wheel system could look like launch titles could include banana
peel simulator 20 20. brb walking across skyrim
see you later okay but octa-dad vr have you played
octodad i haven't played it either but it seems like it could work well and
fire up your tie fighters because ion drives are no longer the stuff of
science fiction tie fighters twin ion engine
yeah okay fine ion thrusters have been used in space for a while now in real life
but researchers at mit have made history with the first atmospheric flight of an
aircraft powered by ionic propulsion in propeller or jet-powered aircraft air is
physically pushed to the rear of the vehicle to produce forward movement but
the researchers prototype ionizes the nitrogen and oxygen in the air
liberating electrons that flow from one electrode to another those electrons
collide with neutral air molecules creating an ionic wind that provides
thrust to the aircraft i understand yes
you're following along the little plane only flew about 10 meters in this test
the length of the indoor gym where the tests were taking place but if this
technology can be scaled up we could be traveling around in largely silent
aircraft with cool blue thrusters laser guns
probably could transform into a robot two while hover bikes silly string silly
what that's that's your idea of a futuristic
vehicle and it has silly streak on it it's time for quick bits brought to you

on to the quick bits youtube is taking even more
steps to draw the public's attention to the european union's copyright directive
and specifically article 13 which would put legal responsibility for the
infringing of copyrighted content onto youtube or whatever platform the content
appears on pop-ups are appearing in the youtube app for european users who are
prompted to learn more and tell their representatives they don't want to pass
article 13 in its current form tell your friends tweet about it hashtag save the
internet eu be trippin
come on you can use all of those if you want
just some options google has removed 13 driving games from the google play store
which weren't actually driving games at all they were malware that simply
crashed every time it was open it's not clear what the malware did but it was
malware and malware is bad that's why i don't play raising games
except mario kart fcc chairman ajit pai isn't all bad he's got some bad ideas
but one of his good ones is raising the standard for rural broadband from 10
megabits per second to 25 which should put pressure on isps to meet that
standard or else they can't say their services broadband sure pi is only doing
this after suggesting that the standard be lowered last year and facing backlash
but hey you know people can change
i still don't like them since alexa and cortana are such good buddies google
assistant is cozying up to siri on iOS google's adding prompts to enable some
siri shortcuts like you can set siri to recognize when you say ok google and
then that redirects you to the google assistant app it's like there's two
competing ai assistant sleepovers and maybe they prank each other and it's
like i don't like you but it's still fun you know and here's a juicy rumor sony is
allegedly going to release the 8 core ryzen CPU powered playstation 5 in 2020
along with a new psvr the information comes from the same redditors that
leaked the news about sony skipping e3 this year it might not be legitimate but

juicy rumor ooh i can't wait um juice
