welcome it's time for tech news
reviews for Intel's 12th gen alder lake desktop processors went live yesterday
and some went live even before that
it was an accident all right Linus doesn't let me touch the processors
anymore i wasn't involved as many of the leaks predicted the world's first
desktop class hybrid cpus are impressive with the top-tier core i9 12900k beating
AMD's ryzen 9 5950x in both single-threaded and multi-threaded
performance check out LTT's and some other reviews for the full story but if
you do want in on the party you should probably check the list of games that
Intel has said are not compatible with the new processors thanks to alder
lake's hybrid design acting all wonky with some drm systems
Intel's working with developers on patches and there's also a workaround
that involves disabling a processor's e-cores that stands for efficiency
jonathan really as i'm sure you know
macs aren't efficient at all you should just switch
i can't help but note though that the AMD processors everyone is celebrating
Intel's victory over are a year old
yeah you didn't know that no yeah and verizon
6000 cpus are expected in january but
it's nice to see Intel back on the multi-threading throne even if it might
only be for a few months it's like the iron throne but instead of swords it's
like it's made of chips processors ryzen chips
game of transist doors
the GPU shortage has made scalping a big problem but now we have to deal with
literal thieves and not just any thieves ones that like cars and family and hate
the rock you're a big fan
that's right evga has reported that a truckload of GeForce rtx 30 series
graphics cards were stolen on route from san francisco to evga's distribution
center i i don't know
subarus i hope the drivers are okay did anyone get it on film was sung kang
there this is bad news for the industry but also for potential GPU buyers evga has
canceled the warranty on the stolen cards meaning you could inadvertently
buy one on craigslist from what you think is just a garden-variety scammer
but is actually a highly wanted criminal from a crew of experts with extremely
deep social bonds and then miss out on your card's
warranty uh oh sorry i was remembering that part
from the movie that they they take the
they know they fraudulently uh rewrote the warranty card right i haven't seen a
single one subscribe
and google has complied with south korea's recently passed law requiring
mobile app stores to give developers third-party payment options
with a catch users in the country will be able to choose between the play
store's billing system and an alternative which will still owe google
a cut but it will be four percent less than the standard rate it's another
small step towards the idea of an unrestricted platform that epic games is
seeking with its lawsuits against google and apple but epic got another win this
week with the news that riot games is bringing league of legends valorant and
its other titles to the epic game store on pc also league character jinx which
seems to me to be basically like blue hair harley quinn
have you played is now a skin in fortnite now is this
really a win for epic when they probably only got this deal by paying riot
millions of dollars i don't know i have no idea how money works it's an are you

oh that's a different vibe the ceo of electronic arts andrew wilson said in an
earnings call this week that games built with nft and blockchain technology are
the future of our industry
shocker i'm assuming he doesn't mean the game where crypto scammers impersonate
websites and get people to unknowingly give away their funds
it is fun for the bad guys interestingly ea's comments
come weeks after valve blocked all cryptocurrency and nft games on steam
but ea doesn't care are you ready for this
e a sports it's in the chain
i'm sorry microsoft has fixed the bug that caused some Windows 11 features
like the snipping tool to break due to an expired certificate which is i guess
what happens when giant tech companies forget to schedule their renewal
appointment but in case you mac people think you're above all this
apple also had to fix a bug in macOS monterey that was bricking computers so
macs don't get viruses so it doesn't happen
none of my none of your computers have broken ever
no wow i will switch to mac bmw is removing touch screen
functionality from a number of vehicles what i hate touchscreens in cars oh
okay i didn't know people would be happy about this uh they're doing it in an effort to save silicon and maintain
current production levels which have been affected by the ongoing chip
shortage now what i was going to say is to be fair touch screens are kind of
dangerous to use while driving anyways so so wait we're happy about this
there's a silver lining to the chip shortage yep safer drivers
oh here's something cool a GeForce now database leak has once again revealed a
list of former playstation exclusive games that will if the leak is accurate
be coming to pc including ghost of sushima ratchet and clank and returnal
man pc gamers have bashed consoles for so long and now they're giving us all
their most cherished possessions i almost feel bad
for them because they're consoles
