four score and seven years ago there was
no Tech news but if there was it definitely wasn't included in any
YouTube videos they were making videos about the Spanish Civil War or I don't
know por and Buggies being poor AMD has confirmed the
existence of its ryzen Z2 extreme processor the successor to the Z1
extreme powering gaming handhelds like lenovo's Legion go and the ASUS Rog Ally
X according to Digital Trends in a joint briefing with Microsoft at the IFA 2024
conference AMD said they're targeting a release date of early 2025 for the Z2
extreme which would presumably arrive inside of new handheld devices not
floating down from the sky with little parachutes after being shot out of an
air cannon I don't I don't know who keeps putting that idea in the script
it's it's very stupid it's you no specs for the chip were given but
AMD exec Jack hnn said he w wants to
play black myth Wukong for 3 hours instead of the 45 minutes current
handhelds can muster and Jack he gets what he wants team red also said they're
working with several Partners which could include valve the steam deck did
not use a Z1 chip but it did use AMD
chips so we may see the Z2 extreme power the steam deck to or valve might follow
Acer who went with a ryzen 7 884 HS in
their recently announced handheld and energy drink from 2010 the Nitro Blaze 7
the Nitro Blaze 6 caused several heart attacks Intel was having a great week
following its reveal of lunar Lake as a compelling answer to qualcomm's
Snapdragon X Series laptop chips but then Intel had to go and mess it up by
announcing its Outsourcing the production of lunar Lake's successor
aerol Lake to external Partners it's not
a great look as the plan has been to manufacture AOL
Lake on the Intel 20a node for years but
don't worry Intel found a good way to spin this you see they've had early
success on Intel 18a which enables them
to shift engineering resources from Intel 20a earlier than expected we're
giving up on our own technology and Outsourcing production to our competitors but that's a good thing we
went for coffee with them and they're really they're not so bad they're good guys they say biscuits instead of
cookies it's crazy the news is inviting speculation about whether CEO Pat
gelsinger really is the chosen one
prophesied to bring balance to the Fabs according to Reuters it's also making
Qualcomm consider trying to acquire different pieces of Intel like a vulture
planning which giblets it's going to pick off a half-dead Antelope dragging
itself across a savannah that's a gruesome image who put this in here this
is a kid show you did it this is
kids got to learn death is a part of life death is real and also it's brutal
that's Tech news baby the internet archive has lost its attempt to appeal
the final ruling from its March 2023 Court battle with the association of
American Publishers in which the archives operation as a nonprofit
Digital Library was found to be copyright infringement Publishers
Hatchet Harper Collins and penguin Random House sued the internet archive
in 2020 over its controlled digital Lending system in the recent appeals
decision the judges asked is it fair use
to scan copyrighted physical books and distribute as many digital copies as you
have physical copies for free as if you're some kind of library or something
no you buy your books like the founding fathers intended it's the third
amendment I don't know what we're Canadian I don't know what the amendment
it's not actually the third amendment I just want to clarify that I know it's
not the third amendment okay that was that was close except except like other
libraries the internet archive does buy books which as author Malcolm Harris
points out on Twitter means they're not really taking sales away from Individual
authors but I admit we're not legal experts and the only place the internet
archive has left to take this case is the Supreme Court so we'll see how
things play out there though this does make me agree with Twitter user
gentleman bug if scanning books doesn't
count as fair use where is the publisher lawsuit against open open AI I mean last
I heard they had scanned some things their butt don't let weirdos scan

guarantee the quick pits are so fast we can't say four score in seven years ago
we just say 87 years ago we don't have time to be poetic ah version 6.0 of the
Bluetooth standard has been released a mere 8 years after the last major
version yes I know 5.4 came out last
year but doesn't why do you know so much
about Bluetooth standards in addition to reducing power consumption and
increasing efficiency Bluetooth 6's Channel sounding feature will allow
centimeter level accuracy for a device tracking over considerable distances
this could allow Google's find my device Network to catch up to Apple which
currently uses Ultra wide band tech for precision tracking or apple could ditch
the ultra wideband chips in their devices and make them cheaper for customers and I'm just kidding that's
not going to happen phone maker honor is using AI to fight
nearsightedness nearsightedness or myopia a condition from which eyes sadly
suffer occurs when eyes grow longer to better focus on close objects something
that has apparently grown more common place in a world full of screens where
are the people some of Honor's devices like the magic V3 foldable phone use
Advanced display and AI Tech to defocus
certain colors apparently this may help slow the progression of myopia could
this also be solved with less screen time maybe but honor also has an AI
powered deep fake video detector and yes maybe that problem would also be solved
with less screen time but can I have one positive AI Story please just let me
have this US Navy Chiefs got in trouble for illegally conspiring to install a
starling satellite dish on their warship apparently the internet on Navy ships is
often restricted to preserve bandwidth and maintain operational security but
the big dogs on board wanted to check sports scores and stream movies
uninterrupted Is that real yep so they smuggled the dish on board and bolted it
to a wooden pallet strapped to the ship they may have gotten away with it too if
they bothered to hide their Network's SSID instead Rank and file Sailors
started asking why there was an unexplained Wi-Fi network named stinky
and that just didn't smell right of course they didn't hide their SSID
they're basically Marines with cuter uniforms and I dare you to keep that in
California based startup reflect orbital has the modest goal of being able to
sell sunlight in the middle of the night using giant Sky mirrors while physically
plausible it's not actually clear reflect orbital even has the technology
to pull this kind of orbital Sun mirror
stunt Define physically plausible I know several physicists that would have an
issue with this I think it's plausible the company has yet to launch anything
into space but it's currently taking 4minute reservations via its website for
late next year as part of the reservation process they ask you why you
want your very own nighttime patch of sun perhaps because they also don't know
why anyone would buy this over a $100 Spotlight also they ask you if you've
heard of the Moon yet do they no but
that's nighttime sun and Engineers from
Cornell and Florence University have created a new biohybrid robot that uses
electrical signals from an edible mushroom to control a mechanical body
why do we have to say it's edible probably because the mechanical body is just
tripping mushrooms can sense different
chemical signals from the world all around them which allows the biorobot to
dynamically respond to its environment obvious applications include recreating
the Predator prey relationship as a form of enrichment for
vegans that's a that's a Jessica original this isn't an entirely New
Concept nearly a decade ago the openworm project created a digital version of a
worm's brain that could be uploaded into a Lego robot in a kind of Black Mirror
but for invertebrates concept what are we doing here why what is science what's
next I created a cybor celery
why he's got laser eyes here's another
concept come back on Monday for more Tech news I'm going to hold my breath
until then to make sure you show up if you don't I won't take another breath
and I could die Riley it's not worth it it's just a
new show rile please
