1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,919
we need an intro riley what's the intro i don't know what the intro is

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:13,440
so the big news so far this week has been the new apple silicon chips

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:17,920
announced at yesterday's apple event in case you haven't heard apple is now

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:22,960
making its own cpus for its max and the first of its new chips called the m1 is

5
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:28,080
a 5 nanometer system on a chip featuring 8 CPU cores and up to 8 GPU cores half

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:32,559
the CPU cores are high performance and half are lower performing but friendlier

7
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:38,239
on battery life apple is claiming it has the best performance per watt of any

8
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:39,520
laptop CPU and given how fast the a14

9
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:43,280
soc was that might very well be the case the

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,039
in-house silicon has also made it possible for apple to optimize

11
00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:50,960
first-party software such as final cut but we'll have to wait until max based

12
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:55,120
on the m1 drop next week to find out for ourselves apple announced three such

13
00:00:52,879 --> 00:01:01,120
devices the thousand dollar macbook air a 1300 macbook pro and a 700 mac mini

14
00:00:58,879 --> 00:01:04,080
that all kind of seem to be the exact same thing

15
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,760
hopefully you've got your apple credit card ready to

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:12,159
waste some money i guess i shouldn't say that yeah but i

17
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:16,880
i think it's bad we have to go deeper into the cult the other big hardware

18
00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:21,040
launch was of course the xbox series x and series s in a bit of bad news

19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:24,880
that'll be very familiar to anyone that's tried to get their hands on an

20
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:29,840
rtx 3000 series graphics card the new xboxes are sold out basically everywhere

21
00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:34,079
as long lines at brick and mortar stores and rushes of online orders were the

22
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:37,759
norm it looks like stock will remain very limited through the rest of the

23
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:43,040
year and and if that wasn't bad enough there was also an xbox live outage that

24
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:48,159
struck around 1pm eastern on launch day wait i was so confused last night

25
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:52,240
because i was playing sea of thieves and there was just suddenly no one on there

26
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:56,560
now you know now i know it was only pc people microsoft resolved

27
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:00,159
the issue within a couple of hours though that combined with the stock

28
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:05,040
shortages made it a bit of a disappointing tuesday for a lot of xbox

29
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:11,039
fans i missed the good old days before order bots and multi-Gigabyte downloads

30
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:13,680
ruined console launches back in my day

31
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:18,319
the consoles you played in the 1900s i can't wait to water cool it so far most

32
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:23,280
self-driving cars can steer accelerate brake and even park view but the driver

33
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:28,319
still has to monitor what's going on at all times to be ready to take over if an

34
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:32,239
unexpected situation pops up however honda thinks

35
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:35,840
ah jeez you scared me however honda thinks it's ready to take the next step

36
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:39,920
forward as the japanese auto giant has announced it should be rolling out a car

37
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:44,080
with level 3 automation before the end of march next year meaning that the

38
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,640
driver can do something else during the ride and will have more time to

39
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:52,720
intervene if the car requests it the vehicle will be an updated legend sedan

40
00:02:50,959 --> 00:02:56,720
and it appears that the rollout will be japan only for now after getting

41
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:00,239
approval from the japanese government of course seeing how canada misses out on

42
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:05,040
everything cool maybe we'll be seeing it here in like 15

43
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:10,000

51
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:45,920
actually fine yeah you know that apple m1 chip we were just talking about well

52
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:49,440
the one thing it apparently can't do is connect to an external graphics card

53
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,599
it's not clear why support for this feature has been removed though past

54
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:57,280
macs have had issues with external gpus and apple might have just been in the

55
00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:00,959
position of like ah good enough most people probably won't use it anyway it

56
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:06,720
will also drive people who need more processing horses to future mac pros

57
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:09,040
with other apple future silicon chips

58
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:12,959
don't you just love having less functionality when you buy an expensive

59
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:17,919
gadget it's because it's a prestige project product

60
00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:22,800
it's curated all the new xbox consoles will support 1440p it's currently

61
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:27,360
notably missing from the playstation 5. this isn't a huge shocker considering

62
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:32,160
consoles are built primarily for tvs and virtually no tvs out there have a 1440p

63
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:36,800
resolution however many console players do use monitors and sony is reportedly

64
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:43,639
thinking about adding 1440p support if there's enough demand if only consoles

65
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,639
would support ultra wide

66
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:56,479
the u.s election is over and with it the end of the huge barrage of political ads

67
00:04:53,919 --> 00:05:00,400
you've constantly seen on tv if you're as sick of them as most people are

68
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:04,560
there's a bit of good news today as both google and facebook have extended their

69
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:09,840
bans on political advertising for the time being now until the end of time yay

70
00:05:07,919 --> 00:05:14,560
google has said the decision is related to the amount of acrimony that

71
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:18,800
that's like lying isn't it legal term and misinformation circulating around

72
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:23,759
the election result can we all just get along not when you're being acrimonious

73
00:05:21,919 --> 00:05:27,440
nanoleaf the company that makes those colored light panels for your gaming den

74
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:32,240
is about to launch a competitor to philips hue called essentials featuring

75
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:36,000
colored bulbs and light strips it works with thread mesh devices so you won't

76
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,919
need a separate bridge to control them unfortunately they won't be cheap as a

77
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:43,360
bulb setting you back 20 bucks away that's not too bad and a light strip

78
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:47,600
costing 50. hopefully competition will cause a drop in prices but you also can

79
00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:52,080
always throw in some colored film over your plain old desktop lamp if not food

80
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:56,560
coloring yeah that would work great riley and walmart is expanding its reach

81
00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:00,960
to the realm of driverless home delivery to compete with amazon in partnership

82
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:04,960
with general motors the retail giant is going to be testing some autonomous

83
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:08,639
driving in scottsdale arizona starting next week it's pretty cool news for the

84
00:06:07,039 --> 00:06:13,120
folks out there but i wonder if they'll miss hanging out with the

85
00:06:10,479 --> 00:06:16,400
