00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.120
einstein once said the formula for success in life is a equals x plus y

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:12.960
plus z x being work y being play and z of

00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:16.400
course being the tech news which is super weird because none of those words

00:00:14.799 --> 00:00:19.600
start with those letters but how smart could einstein really be yeah that's a

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:23.279
good point it looks like AMD may be taking a page

00:00:21.439 --> 00:00:26.960
from NVIDIA and making graphics cards specifically designed to mine

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:33.200
cryptocurrency in what is ostensibly an attempt to allow some gamers to buy one

00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:35.920
freaking GPU geez come on

00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:40.800
apparently the new drivers for AMD gpus appear to have a feature that disables

00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:44.719
display core next and video core next which basically means they wouldn't be

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

00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:53.280
crypto mining for you i mean have you ever even held a bitcoin it feels great

00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:57.920
the card itself looks to be based on the navi 12 processor which came out last

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

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:05.519
might be available but hopefully they'll be more effective distracting the miners

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:11.520
than NVIDIA's efforts which didn't really stop the rtx 3060 from being sold

00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:14.400
out almost immediately please miners we

00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:17.920
just want a few frames just a handful my minecraft pigs are starving

00:01:23.119 --> 00:01:28.720
the world is racing to distribute covid vaccines so it's not too surprising that

00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:34.320
they're hot targets for theft dutch newspaper divolk volkskront is it

00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:38.400
volkscrunk kront anyways that newspaper reports that a cyberattack suffered by

00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:43.040
the european medicines agency in december came from chinese and russian

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:46.720
state-sponsored hackers and that data on treatments of vaccines were taken

00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:50.560
hackers hackers both countries governments deny any part in the hack of

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:54.880
course but whoever it was they had access to vaccine-related data for over

00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:58.719
a month meaning they could see how much of the pfizer vaccine was being bought

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

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

00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:10.000
that the hacks won't affect vaccine distribution i got to get stuck so i can

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:13.520
go breathe all over my family and friends again they miss my droplets

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

00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:23.280
an owner of a shiny new xbox series xrs

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:26.800
but have had controller issues lately you're not the only one as even though

00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:30.879
microsoft focused on making lowering controller latency a priority for the

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:36.160
new systems many users are reporting that controllers aren't even responding

00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:40.080
at all specifically button presses often simply do not register and it appears

00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:43.599
the yellow y button is the most effective

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:47.200
fifa players have helped bring the issue to microsoft's attention as the why

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:50.560
button is important in that game for through balls which are harder presses

00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:53.760
that can quickly get the ball to a teammate up the field yeah sports you

00:02:52.640 --> 00:02:57.519
ever heard of it nope microsoft for their part has

00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:01.200
responded to this situation saying they're actively working on a solution

00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:06.159
in the meantime there's nothing wrong with digging out your old 20

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

00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:15.120
time for the quick bits brought to you by fessy footwear wow they're known for

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:19.440
making shoes that are light comfortable and most importantly waterproof allowing

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:23.680
you to walk in almost any terrain while keeping your feet as dry as the vacuum

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

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:31.920
in fact some of us are wearing them right now even though it's not

00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:36.640
technically the weekend yet grab yourself a pair and get 25 off each pair

00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:40.640
at vesey.com tech link

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:46.640
thank you if you quick bits once you've quick bits them all yep wow

00:03:44.239 --> 00:03:51.519
wow the new super nintendo world in osaka now has an official opening date

00:03:48.799 --> 00:03:55.040
march 18th or just 10 days from now although it was supposed to open on

00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:59.280
february 4th that date was pushed back for pandemic related reasons especially

00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:03.120
as osaka was hit especially hard predictably the park will have hygiene

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

00:04:04.959 --> 00:04:10.239
world you could just pretend you're shy guy

00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:14.560
don't talk to me leave me alone six feet it's the end of

00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:18.320
an error for apple as the imac pro is soon to be no more although the

00:04:16.479 --> 00:04:21.840
standalone mac pro without the built-in monitor doesn't appear to be going

00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:25.440
anywhere the imac version is now only being offered while supplies last so if

00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:29.199
you've got five thousand dollars lying around go grab a piece of history before

00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:34.000
it disappears at least this one doesn't require a thousand dollar monitor stand

00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:38.160
eureka that's a negative for me although smart glasses haven't exactly

00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:42.320
been the most popular wearable category razer is throwing its hat into the ring

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:46.880
with its new anzu smart glasses am i pronouncing that right anzu anzu

00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:51.280
designed to help prevent eye strain they filter blue light and also provide the

00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:55.919
user with open ear audio as well as a microphone ipx4 water resistance and up

00:04:54.080 --> 00:04:59.600
to five hours of battery life unfortunately they're 200 bucks so i

00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:02.800
wouldn't feel bad about just pairing your usual headphones with five dollar

00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:07.039
gas station shades but they're not artificially intelligent true to no

00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:11.840
one's surprise the multiplayer mode for watchdog's legion for pc is delayed

00:05:09.440 --> 00:05:15.520
again apparently the game simply crashes when you try to play it on certain

00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:19.280
graphics cards unfortunately there's no timetable for a fix but console players

00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:23.199
should still have multiplayer mode in the very near future while we wait for a

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:27.680
fix we can sit back and appreciate the irony of how many bugs there have been

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

00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:34.880
anyone you wrote this

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:39.440
this is news and you know how web browsers on devices

00:05:37.039 --> 00:05:44.160
other than pcs and phones generally suck well microsoft is trying to change that

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

00:05:45.919 --> 00:05:52.000
newest versions of the console as the browser should also support xbox one

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.360
right now the browser is fairly buggy as it goes through testing but once the

00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:59.199
final product rolls out we'll probably have a living room browser you'll

00:05:56.880 --> 00:06:02.639
actually want to use or you could just keep using your laptop

00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:07.039
yeah probably gonna do that same

00:06:04.880 --> 00:06:11.520
so that's our show so point your browser back here on wednesday for more tech

00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:17.440
news 100 free of bugs thanks to the bug spray i downloaded

00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:17.440
yesterday thank you
