oh so bored
i know i'll do some tech news
shut up riley in 2015 google restructured itself to be just one of
many subsidiaries under a new parent company alphabet inc alphabet was headed
up by google's co-founders while google was now led by the former head of
android jesus well now they're basically the same again larry page and sergey
brin the now former ceo and president of
alphabet respectively have stepped down while google's ceo sundar pizzai has
stepped up to also fill the role of alphabet's new ceo in a blog post paige
and brin say that going forward pichai will lead google and manage alphabet's
other subsidiaries so it's it's all google again kind of it's not clear
whether the change will make all of alphabet's various projects make more or
less sense i mean the company is so confused that they just made google
photos into a chat app and what is youtube music what is wrong with
google play music i just i feel like i'm taking crazy pills a less interesting
company qualcomm has announced just joking qualcomm has announced some
new mobile tech at the company's annual snapdragon tech summit the successor to
the ubiquitous snapdragon 855 is the snapdragon 865. man i was hoping to
have my expectations severed there but the 865 will of course be faster more
efficient than the 855 but will also have 5g connectivity thanks to new x55
modem inside of it but the more interesting announcement from yesterday might be the low powered 765. unlike the
865 the 765 has its x52 modem directly
integrated into the chip ensuring better power management and wider distribution
of 5g tech among mid-range or budget phones there's also a 765 g variant
which will apparently have better performance in games that's the g stands
for uh for games okay
but the event wasn't all chip announcements qualcomm also showed its
second gen fingerprint scanner called 3d sonic max because it's bigger and you
can put two thumbs on it really so if you get captured by the mafia and
they cut off both your thumbs and you're you're not a happy guy anymore
who has two thumbs and is happy right now
not this guy but you know what's not smart potentially buying a folding phone
from famed drug lord pablo escobar's brother roberto escobar this reads like
an snl skit but apparently it's real escobar inc is selling what looks like a
modified version of the royal flexpi folding tablet thing that we saw at ces
last year for a measly 349 us dollars and it's even got decent specs with a
snapdragon 855 six or eight gigabytes of
ram 128 gigabytes of storage with a micro sd card slot cha-ching and a 4 000
milliamp hour battery honestly the sketchiest thing about this phone is just the marking that they're using to
sell it which involves a healthy dose of gold guns and models in lingerie very
cool i i think i think i've already ordered one actually

the latest problem users are having with macbook pros has nothing to do with the
keyboard imagine that some 13-inch macbook pros from 2019 are shutting down
when they reach 50 battery and apple has now acknowledged the issue telling
affected users to run their laptop battery to below 90 percent plug it in
quit all open apps then let the machine sleep and charge it for only at least
eight hours then spin around in the bathroom here saying bloody mary three times what is this apparently if they
have no idea whether or not that will work then they're just throwing stuff in
the wall to see if it sticks multiple rumors have pointed to the
upcoming samsung galaxy s11 having the ability to record 8k video for some
reason xda developers have found reference to the feature a short while
ago and now inside sources have told sam mobile that it's legit plus the new
snapdragon 865 supports 8k videos so i guess next year we won't need red
cameras at all what do you think david
whatever researchers that mit have developed an ai system called adept
which you could also read as adept it can understand some laws of physics in
the same way as a human infant a child
it's even able to register surprise when a virtual object disappears unexpectedly
or passes through another object i want a baby robot i want a baby robot yoda
you can just turn them off china isn't known for loving gaming
consoles but that could change as nintendo has partnered with chinese
gaming mega company tencent to launch what is officially called the 10 cent
nintendo switch official mainland china version for the
equivalent of 300 us dollars even when they launch a two and a half
year old console in a country that hates consoles nintendo keeps the same price
tag and for that i respect the bastards
and we can't talk about china without talking about huawei who is apparently
entering the desktop pc market with a motherboard designed to run the
company's arm powered kang pen
kung kun peng
processors the board has decent connectivity options including ddr4
dimms and pci 3.0 slots and between this
development and huawei's new mate 30 pro having no us components it seems like
huawei is sitting pretty trade war no you go huawei just
