1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,880
people ask me hey how do you come up with all those wacky stories for

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:09,200
techlink there's some weird words you say like google and microsoft how do you

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,400
come up with those and i don't know i was just always i was just always

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:16,160
creative but if you think you can do better TechLinked is hiring writers

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,080
check the link in the descript to apply you gotta use a semicolon

6
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:23,680
it's important valve steam deck has brought pc gamers a level of handheld

7
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:28,960
gaming joy that they weren't sure they'd ever get and that joy is only expected

8
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:33,120
to increase if the company isn't lying in their newly released booklet the pdf

9
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:36,079
goes over valve's company history and why they even bothered to make the steam

10
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:40,480
deck in the first place which could be beneficial to partners about to sell the

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:44,719
console in asia but the real beneficial parts for us were the passages

12
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:49,680
referencing new versions of the steam deck and calling the deck and steam os a

13
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:54,719
multi-generational product line double decker boom they release it it's just a big mac

14
00:00:52,879 --> 00:00:58,800
that makes it sound like a steam deck 2 is definitely in the works although

15
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:03,199
knowing valve there absolutely will not be a steam deck 3 so they should

16
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:07,920
probably just put two generational in there instead you know what i mean

17
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:11,520
it's never going to happen hey and another fun thing valve included a

18
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:16,159
reference to Linus and alex slapping a heatsink on the back of the deck but

19
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:20,960
then say they don't recommend it rude

20
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,560
NVIDIA's leather-loving ceo jensen wang

21
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:27,680
told investors during the company's latest earnings call that team green is

22
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:30,320
dealing with excess inventory of rtx

23
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:34,960
3000 gpus that sounds horrible it's like scrooge mcduck's money pool but with

24
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:39,600
graphics cards it just hurts so NVIDIA will be cutting prices of current gen

25
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:45,200
cards to make way for the rtx 40 series which jensen said he'd be revealing some

26
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:47,119
details about at gtc in december

27
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:51,520
this could be good news for pc gamers if retailers decide to pass on the savings

28
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,920
but anyone hoping to pick up a ps5 outside of the us isn't going to be so

29
00:01:53,600 --> 00:02:00,640
lucky as sony announced they're raising the price of their consoles in

30
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:04,320
non-american markets why inflation it's an economic force you

31
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:08,399
just you can't do anything about it it just happens

32
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:13,520
except microsoft can do something apparently they said prices of xbox

33
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:14,959
consoles will not be rising and nintendo

34
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:20,160
also said they wouldn't be raising the price of the switch because that would

35
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,000
be insane the console is five years old

36
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,280
nintendo you didn't need a press release for that one what is wrong with this

37
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:29,840
company don't worry don't worry you're safe we

38
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:33,360
won't sue you and a recent cyber attack is drawing interest not because of the

39
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,120
amount of credentials compromised but because of the amount of companies

40
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:41,040
targeted although it's not a competition put that laptop away james is a secret

41
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:44,800
hacker what's your handle i'm a russian asset

42
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:50,319
more than 135 organizations including doordash signal and cloudflare were

43
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:52,560
attacked by the campaign dubbed octopus

44
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:56,319
by security research firm group ib because of its connection with octa the

45
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:00,080
single sign-on service used by the campaign's first victims login

46
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:03,840
credentials for nearly 10 000 individuals were stolen by the hackers

47
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:09,040
who used relatively simple phishing tactics to compromise users two-factor

48
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:14,800
authentication using what say it with me text message based 2fa use an

49
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:19,040
authenticator app or a usb key and these hacks are a lot harder to do which is

50
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:22,959
why cloudflare in particular did not have any credentials compromised

51
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:26,480
confiscate your parents phones and get them up to speed it's okay to reverse

52
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:30,319
the power dynamic in this situation i'm the boss now mom

53
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:34,560
now it's time for quick bits brought to you by epidemic sound provider of high

54

quality professionally produced music and sound effects for video creators

55

61
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:06,159
link below i want to use that track here's the part

62
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:10,959
where a new tech link writer would need to come up with something weird to say along with the phrase quick bits like

63
00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:14,879
the wacky thing i just said very wacky spacex has announced a

64
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:19,199
partnership with t-mobile to bring starlink satellite internet connectivity

65
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:22,959
directly to cell phones next year without requiring a dedicated dish

66
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:31,280
okay that's right internet beamed right from space to your phone and tesla

67
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:35,680
vehicles later on at the blazing speed of two to four megabits per second

68
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,560
shared with anyone else in your cell zone that might be just enough bandwidth

69
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:45,440
to check elon's twitter to see what sick meme he just reposted from reddit

70
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:50,080
and when you're out in the boonies with no coverage that could be just what you

71
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,479
need to carry on despite the dehydration what did he tweet

72
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:58,800
yeah speaking of people who have been on joe rogan mark zuckerberg casually mentioned

73
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:02,880
to joe that meta's next vr headset will be launching in october other rumors

74
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:07,280
point to said headset almost certainly being project cambria a model that's

75
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:12,400
geared more towards professional work use cases than gaming and that makes

76
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:16,320
sense given just how unfun meta's virtual worlds are looking right now

77
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:20,240
there's no slaying dragons at work unless the dragon is the drop in our q3

78
00:05:18,479 --> 00:05:24,960
numbers carl you don't need good graphics at the office 1v1 me and

79
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:29,680
beatsaber now or you're fired google's brilliant plan to merge its duo and meet

80
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:34,320
chat apps into one has had a very expected hiccup people don't understand

81
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:40,080
what's happening so after rebranding duo as meat and adding an original label to

82
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:45,840
the original meat google has re-added the duo app as a shortcut to the new

83
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:52,240
meat which could sit beside the actual app icon for new meat and the old meat

84
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:55,199
bracket original i get it

85
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:58,400
james is like oh finally it makes sense nice one google this sucks you suck how

86
00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:03,120
long have you had to figure this out like a decade what is this do better you

87
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:06,400
suck google prides themselves on finding and notifying other big tech companies

88
00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:13,520
have security flaws in their products but well well who just waltzed in but

89
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:15,360
microsoft who found a flaw in chrome os

90
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:19,280
which could be remotely exploited by messing with audio metadata google has

91
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:23,919
already fixed the exploit which was actually reported months ago but man

92
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:28,639
they were probably so embarrassed when they did that on our job

93
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:34,479
and Corsair is contributing to the whole weird monitor trend that's going on

94
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:40,639
right now with the launch of the xenion flex a 45 inch 21x9 ultra wide OLED

95
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:45,360
gaming monitor that can bend its display to transform from a flat screen to a

96
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:49,520
curved screen pluth did this on ShortCircuit i touched it too how did it feel

97
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:53,199
wrong curvy you can even grab the sides and pull it

98
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,880
in yourself to customize the amount of curvature up to an 800 r curve they

99
00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:00,639
couldn't let it go any more than that though or you'd be sucked into the game

100
00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:06,000
world and trust me you don't want to get stuck in there with mark zuckerberg

101
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:10,160
finally a friend and monday is not like friday which is why you should come back

102
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:16,000
then for more tech news who knows what delights await tech news

103
00:07:13,919 --> 00:07:18,960
it's yes not you google
