1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,920
the tech news will never stop that is unless we get a cease and desist

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:10,880
from the government telling us that we're a non-essential business

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:15,920
hey we'll see got him after almost 13 years today valve finally released

4
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:21,039
another half-life game half-life alex is a vr only title but it works with almost

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:26,560
every vr headset on the market including the full htc vive lineup the valve index

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:31,039
obviously Windows mixed reality headsets and even oculus headsets that is the

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:36,399
desktop compatible ones no thanks to oculus themselves and so far the fans

8
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:40,239
seem to love it with a 93 score on metacritic and overwhelmingly positive

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,719
feedback on steam beyond the game's appeal as a

10
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:50,000
good game alex also seems to represent an evolutionary step for vr as the most

11
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:53,760
high profile aaa full-length vr game to hit shelves and by shelves i of course

12
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:58,320
mean virtual shelves the real ones have long been cleaned of games toilet paper

13
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:02,640
and all kinds of other accessories covid19 is causing a big reaction in the

14
00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:06,240
tech industry and well really all industries but there are some great

15
00:01:04,559 --> 00:01:10,400
resources now being made available to the public google's dedicated covid19

16
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,920
site has information on symptoms prevention treatment and helpful news

17
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:18,880
updates which can be tailored specifically to your state in the u.s at

18
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:22,479
least microsoft and the cdc have developed an ai powered chat bot that

19
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:28,640
can help you determine whether your symptoms are severe enough to go to the hospital and even siri now has a symptom

20
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:33,200
checking questionnaire making the voice assistant

21
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,640
actually useful what wow good job siri

22
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,920
that was weird to say but if you're just self-isolating and

23
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:42,400
running out of things to do there's a number of free things available steam is

24
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:47,040
giving away some games amazon is streaming kids shows on prime video for

25
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:50,960
free and apple is giving away ebooks and audio books there's never been a better

26
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:56,079
time to stay at home so stay at home stay home and information

27
00:01:54,240 --> 00:02:01,040
concerning Intel's upcoming mainstream rocket lake s platform has leaked an

28
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:06,880
official looking diagram indicates team blue will catch up to AMD's ryzen 3000

29
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,879
series with pci express 4.0 support with

30
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:12,640
up to 20 lanes available they'll almost catch up rocket lake s processors will

31
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:16,800
apparently also feature integrated graphics built on Intel's xe

32
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:20,080
architecture which is also powering the company's upcoming dedicated graphics

33
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:25,760
cards sorry throw in support for Thunderbolt 4

34
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,680
and usb 3.2 gen 2x2

35
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,560
and hey we might just need some processors that are actually worth

36
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:35,360
buying and this thing sounds pretty great just need to rename usb now now it's

37
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:39,200
time for the quip quaps brought to you by brilliant whether you're a student a

38
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:43,760
professional brushing up on cutting edge topics or someone who just is stuck at

39
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:47,599
home and wants to learn brilliant makes learning easy with

40
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:51,599
interactive explorations and a mobile app and you know what

41
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:55,360
john why don't you set yourself a goal to improve yourself a little bit every

42
00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:58,720
day i think i've already called out john so let's go with craig

43
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,480
way to go craig i think you'd probably like introduction

44
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:06,400
to neural networks you can learn how wiring up just 50 neurons can build a

45
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,599
network that's capable of classifying handwritten digits oh man that's so

46
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:13,599
craig just check out that course and many many

47
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:18,159
others by going to brilliant.org techlinked the first 200 of you to do so

48
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:25,200
will get 20 off a premium subscription on to the clubs domingo okay NVIDIA

49
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:27,120
has released dlss 2.0 and

50
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:32,159
it actually seems like they've been working on it since they've released

51
00:03:28,959 --> 00:03:34,799
dlss it increased both image quality and

52
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:39,200
game performance apparently the ai model used for dlss is now the same for all

53
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:43,920
games rather than having to create a different profile for each game so many

54
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:47,440
more games should support the feature this time around i should probably take

55
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:52,000
a look at it myself before i say it's truly awesome though i mean they said

56
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:56,080
dlss was gonna be great and fool me once shame on uh you

57
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,920
fooled me twice shame on your mother

58
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:03,760
a zero day vulnerability is being actively exploited by hackers according

59
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:07,680
to microsoft and there is no patch available yet but redmond doesn't think

60
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:11,840
it's time to panic just yet because they're only seeing limited targeted

61
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:16,160
attacks so far but like here's the thing i mean come on we're already dealing

62
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,600
with a virus in the real world i guess hackers are just as bored as us

63
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:24,000
regular people and google has straight up cancelled

64
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:27,919
their i o developer conference the tech giant had previously said the event

65
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:32,160
would move to an online only model but now the whole thing has just been

66
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,040
taken off the calendar all together as google focuses on helping people

67
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:39,919
affected by the coronavirus do they really have that many people working on that coronavirus site i kind of doubt it

68
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,199
i'm sure they can find a way to distribute product announcements somehow

69
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:48,000
i mean their google they'll probably just like beam it into our brains

70
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:51,840
speaking of helping people the folding at home network which allows regular

71
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:56,000
people like you and me to contribute their computers horsepower to medical

72
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:59,919
research is now more powerful than the world's top seven super computers

73
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:04,240
combined that is thanks to over 400 000 new

74
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:09,199
volunteers who have joined in over the past couple of weeks so excellent work

75
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:13,600
folders fold on and also especially excellent work ltd folding team we

76
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:16,560
overtook those pcmr no good

77
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:21,199
well also do-gooders but you know good people but but but they're bad we should

78
00:05:19,039 --> 00:05:25,039
take them out yep we've got more folders than them now

79
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:29,520
and car racing is now a virtual affair with some professional formula one

80
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:34,240
nascar and indy car racers facing off against gamers in the sim racing game

81
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:37,520
eye racing maybe we should just keep it this way like after everything calms

82
00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:41,840
down you know like like driving is actually more dangerous than the

83
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,440
coronavirus statistically speaking

84
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:46,960
like yeah do you see those explosions when they crash in like next week it's

85
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,840
gonna be dangerous to continue this episode any further too because we're

86
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:54,240
out of news and we could end up talking about liking car explosions that's very

87
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:59,039
terrible actually so come back on wednesday for more tech news unless

88
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,039
we're ordered to stop by the government
