00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,120
einstein once said the formula for success in life is a equals x plus y

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,960
plus z x being work y being play and z of

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:16,400
course being the tech news which is super weird because none of those words

4
00:00:14,799 --> 00:00:19,600
start with those letters but how smart could einstein really be yeah that's a

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:23,279
good point it looks like AMD may be taking a page

6
00:00:21,439 --> 00:00:26,960
from NVIDIA and making graphics cards specifically designed to mine

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:33,200
cryptocurrency in what is ostensibly an attempt to allow some gamers to buy one

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:35,920
freaking GPU geez come on

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:40,800
apparently the new drivers for AMD gpus appear to have a feature that disables

10
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:44,719
display core next and video core next which basically means they wouldn't be

11
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:48,800
able to output video a weird feature to have on a video card but hey that's

12
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:53,280
crypto mining for you i mean have you ever even held a bitcoin it feels great

13
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:57,920
the card itself looks to be based on the navi 12 processor which came out last

14
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:01,600
year and was used in some apple systems no word yet on when AMD's mining cards

15
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:05,519
might be available but hopefully they'll be more effective distracting the miners

16
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:11,520
than NVIDIA's efforts which didn't really stop the rtx 3060 from being sold

17
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:14,400
out almost immediately please miners we

18
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,920
just want a few frames just a handful my minecraft pigs are starving

19
00:01:23,119 --> 00:01:28,720
the world is racing to distribute covid vaccines so it's not too surprising that

20
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:34,320
they're hot targets for theft dutch newspaper divolk volkskront is it

21
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:38,400
volkscrunk kront anyways that newspaper reports that a cyberattack suffered by

22
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:43,040
the european medicines agency in december came from chinese and russian

23
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:46,720
state-sponsored hackers and that data on treatments of vaccines were taken

24
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:50,560
hackers hackers both countries governments deny any part in the hack of

25
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:54,880
course but whoever it was they had access to vaccine-related data for over

26
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,719
a month meaning they could see how much of the pfizer vaccine was being bought

27
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,600
and where it was headed we don't know yet what the motive may have been it may

28
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:06,799
have been to see what countries were more in dire need and exploit that information somehow but fingers crossed

29
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:10,000
that the hacks won't affect vaccine distribution i got to get stuck so i can

30
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:13,520
go breathe all over my family and friends again they miss my droplets

31
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:21,680
oh right it hasn't happened yet sorry smell it do you have like mint are you

32
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:23,280
an owner of a shiny new xbox series xrs

33
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,800
but have had controller issues lately you're not the only one as even though

34
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:30,879
microsoft focused on making lowering controller latency a priority for the

35
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:36,160
new systems many users are reporting that controllers aren't even responding

36
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:40,080
at all specifically button presses often simply do not register and it appears

37
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:43,599
the yellow y button is the most effective

38
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,200
fifa players have helped bring the issue to microsoft's attention as the why

39
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,560
button is important in that game for through balls which are harder presses

40
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,760
that can quickly get the ball to a teammate up the field yeah sports you

41
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:57,519
ever heard of it nope microsoft for their part has

42
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,200
responded to this situation saying they're actively working on a solution

43
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:06,159
in the meantime there's nothing wrong with digging out your old 20

44
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:10,159
that gamepad and we all got 20 of those nope i don't i'm a minimalist now it's

45
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:15,120
time for the quick bits brought to you by fessy footwear wow they're known for

46
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,440
making shoes that are light comfortable and most importantly waterproof allowing

47
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:23,680
you to walk in almost any terrain while keeping your feet as dry as the vacuum

48
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:28,480
of space check out their new weekend shoe that i just threw on the ground it's great for dressing up or down and

49
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,920
in fact some of us are wearing them right now even though it's not

50
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:36,640
technically the weekend yet grab yourself a pair and get 25 off each pair

51
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:40,640
at vesey.com tech link

52
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:46,640
thank you if you quick bits once you've quick bits them all yep wow

53
00:03:44,239 --> 00:03:51,519
wow the new super nintendo world in osaka now has an official opening date

54
00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:55,040
march 18th or just 10 days from now although it was supposed to open on

55
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:59,280
february 4th that date was pushed back for pandemic related reasons especially

56
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:03,120
as osaka was hit especially hard predictably the park will have hygiene

57
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,640
measures in place and you need to wear a mask but since you're a super nintendo

58
00:04:04,959 --> 00:04:10,239
world you could just pretend you're shy guy

59
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:14,560
don't talk to me leave me alone six feet it's the end of

60
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:18,320
an error for apple as the imac pro is soon to be no more although the

61
00:04:16,479 --> 00:04:21,840
standalone mac pro without the built-in monitor doesn't appear to be going

62
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:25,440
anywhere the imac version is now only being offered while supplies last so if

63
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:29,199
you've got five thousand dollars lying around go grab a piece of history before

64
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:34,000
it disappears at least this one doesn't require a thousand dollar monitor stand

65
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:38,160
eureka that's a negative for me although smart glasses haven't exactly

66
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:42,320
been the most popular wearable category razer is throwing its hat into the ring

67
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:46,880
with its new anzu smart glasses am i pronouncing that right anzu anzu

68
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:51,280
designed to help prevent eye strain they filter blue light and also provide the

69
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:55,919
user with open ear audio as well as a microphone ipx4 water resistance and up

70
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:59,600
to five hours of battery life unfortunately they're 200 bucks so i

71
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,800
wouldn't feel bad about just pairing your usual headphones with five dollar

72
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:07,039
gas station shades but they're not artificially intelligent true to no

73
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:11,840
one's surprise the multiplayer mode for watchdog's legion for pc is delayed

74
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:15,520
again apparently the game simply crashes when you try to play it on certain

75
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:19,280
graphics cards unfortunately there's no timetable for a fix but console players

76
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:23,199
should still have multiplayer mode in the very near future while we wait for a

77
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:27,680
fix we can sit back and appreciate the irony of how many bugs there have been

78
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:31,680
in a game about hacking who's we are people playing this game i don't know

79
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,880
anyone you wrote this

80
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:39,440
this is news and you know how web browsers on devices

81
00:05:37,039 --> 00:05:44,160
other than pcs and phones generally suck well microsoft is trying to change that

82
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,680
as it's testing chromium-based edge on xbox you won't even have to have the

83
00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:52,000
newest versions of the console as the browser should also support xbox one

84
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,360
right now the browser is fairly buggy as it goes through testing but once the

85
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:59,199
final product rolls out we'll probably have a living room browser you'll

86
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:02,639
actually want to use or you could just keep using your laptop

87
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:07,039
yeah probably gonna do that same

88
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:11,520
so that's our show so point your browser back here on wednesday for more tech

89
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:17,440
news 100 free of bugs thanks to the bug spray i downloaded

90
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:17,440
yesterday thank you
