1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,400
my god it's full of tech news although google

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:10,320
chrome is by far the most popular web browser it's not known for being

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,000
particularly power efficient but that may start to change soon as google

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:18,800
engineers have stuck a feature in chrome version 86 to increase battery life on

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:23,119
mobile devices by 28 david that's a lot of percent but what

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:27,039
about RAM and this applies across platforms

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:30,880
whether on Windows Linux mac iOS or Android as long as those are mobile

8
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:34,800
devices i guess they pull off this improvement by cutting down on

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:38,480
unnecessary javascript background usage that can really drain your battery the

10
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:43,840
savings appear to be most prominent when you have lots of tabs open and if you

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:48,480
know me and you're a human you have lots of tabs open indeed during one test

12
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:52,879
google left 36 background tabs open and saved a whole two hours of battery life

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:56,879
however keep in mind the feature is experimental and may not make it into

14
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:00,320
the next version of chrome so don't be too quick to yank that power cord just

15
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,720
yet i guess we're talking about laptops mostly here hey yeah you don't really

16
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:09,119
have that many chrome tabs open on your phone do you a lot has been made out of the powerful

17
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:13,600
hardware under the hood of microsoft's upcoming xbox series x but what kind of

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,040
games can we actually expect for it because you know if the games suck then

19
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,479
mommy will have to buy me one of the other consoles

20
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:24,799
okay we won't have to wait too much longer to find out as the company will

21
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:29,600
unveil a bunch of first party titles for the console on july 23rd at summer games

22
00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:33,680
fest some are game fest there's no s that always trips me up halo infinite a

23
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,759
reboot of the popular series is widely expected to be among the games announced

24
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:40,640
and we might see more games in the fable gears of war and forza franchises as

25
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:46,880
well although this isn't the first microsoft event dedicated to titles for the series

26
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:51,119
x this is the first one primarily dealing with microsoft's own titles as

27
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:56,720
what we've seen so far are mostly third party non-exclusives so nice to see

28
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,560
microsoft gaming is still doing well

29
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:02,719
rest in peace mixer and speaking of microsoft gaming an interesting bit of

30
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:07,920
kit from microsoft's upcoming xcloud streaming service was just announced the

31
00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:11,200
sn30 pro gamepad has appeared on amazon it's a bluetooth game controller

32
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:15,680
designed for Android smartphones it's from 8bitdo or do

33
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:19,520
8bitdo the company known for updated version of retro controllers for systems

34
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:23,040
like this nest snes man there's so many tomato tomatoes here

35
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:27,200
the controller is supposed to have an 18 hour battery life and also features a

36
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:31,040
smartphone clip and remappable buttons it's quite similar to their existing

37
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,400
sf30 pro though the new model will have microsoft

38
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:39,920
branding to make it more like an xbox controller they should make one of those retro like fat controllers no no no one

39
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:44,319
will buy them it'll be out on september 21st just four days before my birthday

40
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:48,000

41
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:53,680
money on something and again my birthday

42
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:57,599

43
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:02,080
brought to you by the quick bits what private internet access lets you mask

44

your ip and encrypt your traffic pia offers over 3 200 servers and 48

45

countries and no bandwidth caps it has configurable encryption levels and a

kill switch to keep you in control and when combined with private browsing it

47

48
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:24,239
up to five devices at once whether they be Windows mac Android iOS or even Linux

49
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:29,440
if you're one of those weirdos and pia's mace feature blocks malware and tracking

50
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:34,360
domains try it at the link below with a 30 day money back guarantees

51
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:40,319
if you occasionally travel on intercontinental flights chances are

52
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:42,400
you've flown on an iconic boeing 747 at

53
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:46,640
some point but not this year but it looks like the jumbo jets days may be

54
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:50,720
numbered as reports indicate that boeing will cease production in two years in

55
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:55,519
favor of smaller more efficient long range planes such as the 787 you know

56
00:03:53,680 --> 00:04:00,720
walking up those stairs on the plane made me feel like a real vip so even if

57
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:04,720
i was just climbing up to coach i still i like the small ones there's about to

58
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:10,400
be less competition in the food delivery spaces uber is reportedly buying

59
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:12,239
postmates in a deal worth about 2.65

60
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,280
billion dollars a lot of money for companies that don't actually make

61
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:18,799
profit uber is trying to be more competitive against door dash so i

62
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:22,320
understand the move but i also well it seems like they'll have less

63
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:26,160
incentive to lower their outrageous delivery fees so i worry about the small

64
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:32,479
business owner microsoft is teamed up with tire giant bridgestone to roll out

65
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:36,400
tire damage monitoring system it'll be able to detect real-time physical damage

66
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:41,199
to a car's tires using algorithms and also tell what spot on the tire is in

67
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:45,199
need of attention because tire damage is the leading cause of accidents caused by

68
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:48,560
mechanical failures alerting drivers to tire issues as they pop up could

69
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:52,560
significantly improve safety of course not handing drivers licenses out like

70
00:04:50,479 --> 00:04:57,120
candy would be a great idea too that sounds pretty opinionated john

71
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:02,320
isolation during the pandemic has caused many of us to turn to gaming to pass the

72
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:04,080
time how much time well console sales

73
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,919
are up significantly across the board but the nintendo switch in particular

74
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:11,759
has more than doubled in its sales in the first half of 2020 compared to the

75
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:16,080
same period last year weird given that that's the only portable one and i'm not

76
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:20,880
going anywhere and twitter has seemingly confirmed users won't be getting an

77
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:24,880
often requested feature anytime soon if ever the platform tweeted out a message

78
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:29,120
on its own account saying you can have an edit button when everyone wears a

79
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:33,360
mask some users appreciated twitter stance others saw it as antagonistic but

80
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,840
the whole thing makes me wonder if it's just easier not to tweet

81
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,199
at all that's our show for today come back on wednesday for more

82
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:46,880
and we won't ask you to put on a mask before watching as long as you're watching completely alone in your house

83
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,120
no strangers around you don't touch your face
