00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.880
people ask me hey how do you come up with all those wacky stories for

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:09.200
techlink there's some weird words you say like google and microsoft how do you

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

00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:16.160
creative but if you think you can do better TechLinked is hiring writers

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:20.080
check the link in the descript to apply you gotta use a semicolon

00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:23.680
it's important valve steam deck has brought pc gamers a level of handheld

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

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:33.120
to increase if the company isn't lying in their newly released booklet the pdf

00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:36.079
goes over valve's company history and why they even bothered to make the steam

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:40.480
deck in the first place which could be beneficial to partners about to sell the

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:44.719
console in asia but the real beneficial parts for us were the passages

00:00:42.559 --> 00:00:49.680
referencing new versions of the steam deck and calling the deck and steam os a

00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:54.719
multi-generational product line double decker boom they release it it's just a big mac

00:00:52.879 --> 00:00:58.800
that makes it sound like a steam deck 2 is definitely in the works although

00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:03.199
knowing valve there absolutely will not be a steam deck 3 so they should

00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:07.920
probably just put two generational in there instead you know what i mean

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:11.520
it's never going to happen hey and another fun thing valve included a

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:16.159
reference to Linus and alex slapping a heatsink on the back of the deck but

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:20.960
then say they don't recommend it rude

00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:22.560
NVIDIA's leather-loving ceo jensen wang

00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:27.680
told investors during the company's latest earnings call that team green is

00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:30.320
dealing with excess inventory of rtx

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:34.960
3000 gpus that sounds horrible it's like scrooge mcduck's money pool but with

00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:39.600
graphics cards it just hurts so NVIDIA will be cutting prices of current gen

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

00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:47.119
details about at gtc in december

00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:51.520
this could be good news for pc gamers if retailers decide to pass on the savings

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

00:01:53.600 --> 00:02:00.640
lucky as sony announced they're raising the price of their consoles in

00:01:57.880 --> 00:02:04.320
non-american markets why inflation it's an economic force you

00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:08.399
just you can't do anything about it it just happens

00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:13.520
except microsoft can do something apparently they said prices of xbox

00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:14.959
consoles will not be rising and nintendo

00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:20.160
also said they wouldn't be raising the price of the switch because that would

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:22.000
be insane the console is five years old

00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:25.280
nintendo you didn't need a press release for that one what is wrong with this

00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:29.840
company don't worry don't worry you're safe we

00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:33.360
won't sue you and a recent cyber attack is drawing interest not because of the

00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:37.120
amount of credentials compromised but because of the amount of companies

00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:41.040
targeted although it's not a competition put that laptop away james is a secret

00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:44.800
hacker what's your handle i'm a russian asset

00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:50.319
more than 135 organizations including doordash signal and cloudflare were

00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:52.560
attacked by the campaign dubbed octopus

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:56.319
by security research firm group ib because of its connection with octa the

00:02:54.720 --> 00:03:00.080
single sign-on service used by the campaign's first victims login

00:02:58.239 --> 00:03:03.840
credentials for nearly 10 000 individuals were stolen by the hackers

00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:09.040
who used relatively simple phishing tactics to compromise users two-factor

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:14.800
authentication using what say it with me text message based 2fa use an

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

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:22.959
why cloudflare in particular did not have any credentials compromised

00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:26.480
confiscate your parents phones and get them up to speed it's okay to reverse

00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:30.319
the power dynamic in this situation i'm the boss now mom

00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:34.560
now it's time for quick bits brought to you by epidemic sound provider of high

00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:38.000

you're looking for check out epidemic's free 30-day trial and sign up at the

00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:06.159
link below i want to use that track here's the part

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

00:04:08.959 --> 00:04:14.879
the wacky thing i just said very wacky spacex has announced a

00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:19.199
partnership with t-mobile to bring starlink satellite internet connectivity

00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:22.959
directly to cell phones next year without requiring a dedicated dish

00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:31.280
okay that's right internet beamed right from space to your phone and tesla

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:35.680
vehicles later on at the blazing speed of two to four megabits per second

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:40.560
shared with anyone else in your cell zone that might be just enough bandwidth

00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:45.440
to check elon's twitter to see what sick meme he just reposted from reddit

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

00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:52.479
need to carry on despite the dehydration what did he tweet

00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:58.800
yeah speaking of people who have been on joe rogan mark zuckerberg casually mentioned

00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:02.880
to joe that meta's next vr headset will be launching in october other rumors

00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:07.280
point to said headset almost certainly being project cambria a model that's

00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:12.400
geared more towards professional work use cases than gaming and that makes

00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:16.320
sense given just how unfun meta's virtual worlds are looking right now

00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:20.240
there's no slaying dragons at work unless the dragon is the drop in our q3

00:05:18.479 --> 00:05:24.960
numbers carl you don't need good graphics at the office 1v1 me and

00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:29.680
beatsaber now or you're fired google's brilliant plan to merge its duo and meet

00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:34.320
chat apps into one has had a very expected hiccup people don't understand

00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:40.080
what's happening so after rebranding duo as meat and adding an original label to

00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:45.840
the original meat google has re-added the duo app as a shortcut to the new

00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:52.240
meat which could sit beside the actual app icon for new meat and the old meat

00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:55.199
bracket original i get it

00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:58.400
james is like oh finally it makes sense nice one google this sucks you suck how

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

00:06:00.880 --> 00:06:06.400
suck google prides themselves on finding and notifying other big tech companies

00:06:05.039 --> 00:06:13.520
have security flaws in their products but well well who just waltzed in but

00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:15.360
microsoft who found a flaw in chrome os

00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:19.280
which could be remotely exploited by messing with audio metadata google has

00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:23.919
already fixed the exploit which was actually reported months ago but man

00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:28.639
they were probably so embarrassed when they did that on our job

00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:34.479
and Corsair is contributing to the whole weird monitor trend that's going on

00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:40.639
right now with the launch of the xenion flex a 45 inch 21x9 ultra wide OLED

00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:45.360
gaming monitor that can bend its display to transform from a flat screen to a

00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:49.520
curved screen pluth did this on ShortCircuit i touched it too how did it feel

00:06:47.440 --> 00:06:53.199
wrong curvy you can even grab the sides and pull it

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:56.880
in yourself to customize the amount of curvature up to an 800 r curve they

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

00:06:58.479 --> 00:07:06.000
world and trust me you don't want to get stuck in there with mark zuckerberg

00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:10.160
finally a friend and monday is not like friday which is why you should come back

00:07:07.840 --> 00:07:16.000
then for more tech news who knows what delights await tech news

00:07:13.919 --> 00:07:18.960
it's yes not you google
