don't know what you're talking about we got tech news
this is a good look right okay yeah tech news
a fairly large leak has sprung up concerning AMD's upcoming ryzen 3
desktop processors courtesy of russian retailer e-catalogue not to be confused
with electronic catalog with the c totally different
listings of a few chips in the lineup were posted showing a bump of at least
two cores with multi-threading at every tier that means that the ryzen 3 300x
has 6 cores and 12 threads the 53600x
has 8 cores and 16 threads and the ryzen
7 3700x has 12 cores and 24 threads AMD
is also apparently following Intel's core i9 branding because they haven't
had a bloody original thought when it comes to marketing in their entire existence
and releasing a ryzen 9 3800x with 16
cores and 32 threads what
not only that but the processor's boost clock speeds are all above 4 gigahertz
with the 3700x apparently hitting 5 gigahertz now this is just a leak don't
get excited yet but AMD's keynote is next wednesday at ces so put that in
your calendars google's advanced technologies and
projects division or atap unveiled project sully back in 2015. the project
miniaturizes radar technology so it can detect extremely fine movements made by
even small hands like mine so you could twist a virtual knob or tap a virtual
button to control things like smart watches or speakers or you could caress
a virtual lover but not yet atap hasn't been able to
move forward with the technology because it requires fcc approval in order to use
power levels above those currently allowed for these types of sensors well
that was then and this is now approval has now been granted so in addition to
potentially revolutionizing the way that we interact with devices solely could be
useful for all kinds of things including helping people with mobility speech or
tactile impairments and this is all just in time too because the fcc could
suspend operations tomorrow thanks to the us government partial shutdown
so soon we'll all be hunched over our phones but at least we'll look a little
more fancy as we do it like
like this yeah yeah there you go yeah just like that perfect
and we don't talk much about space stuff on this show but you know what we're

the nasa spacecraft osiris-rex has successfully entered the orbit of the
asteroid bennu after arriving there in early december the new is only 1 640
feet wide making it the smallest celestial body orbited by a spacecraft
but that ain't the only space rock in the picture nasa's new horizons probe
has also completed its flyby of object 2014 mu69 ak ultimate
i like that second name better it's the most distant object in the solar system
that any spacecraft has visited but more importantly it's shaped like a half
completed snowman because it's actually two space rocks that are kind of like
stuck together i mean i didn't think that space rocks could be cute
but here we are 2019's a hell of a year isn't it wow now

not actual phones because there are no 5g phones so a reddit user has now had a
chance to test it out and as it turns out the speeds are not really much to
write home about um they're more like the kind of thing that you would type up
something on reddit and post it about ah
so they're pretty similar to 4g but i mean come on the joys of getting there
first are i mean they're usually more like
just feeling good or like a dumb ass um
