WEBVTT

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

00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:13.440
so the big news so far this week has been the new apple silicon chips

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:17.920
announced at yesterday's apple event in case you haven't heard apple is now

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

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

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:32.559
the CPU cores are high performance and half are lower performing but friendlier

00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:38.239
on battery life apple is claiming it has the best performance per watt of any

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:39.520
laptop CPU and given how fast the a14

00:00:38.239 --> 00:00:43.280
soc was that might very well be the case the

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:47.039
in-house silicon has also made it possible for apple to optimize

00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:50.960
first-party software such as final cut but we'll have to wait until max based

00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:55.120
on the m1 drop next week to find out for ourselves apple announced three such

00:00:52.879 --> 00:01:01.120
devices the thousand dollar macbook air a 1300 macbook pro and a 700 mac mini

00:00:58.879 --> 00:01:04.080
that all kind of seem to be the exact same thing

00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:07.760
hopefully you've got your apple credit card ready to

00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:12.159
waste some money i guess i shouldn't say that yeah but i

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

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

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:24.880
that'll be very familiar to anyone that's tried to get their hands on an

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:29.840
rtx 3000 series graphics card the new xboxes are sold out basically everywhere

00:01:27.759 --> 00:01:34.079
as long lines at brick and mortar stores and rushes of online orders were the

00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:37.759
norm it looks like stock will remain very limited through the rest of the

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

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:48.159
struck around 1pm eastern on launch day wait i was so confused last night

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:52.240
because i was playing sea of thieves and there was just suddenly no one on there

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:56.560
now you know now i know it was only pc people microsoft resolved

00:01:54.720 --> 00:02:00.159
the issue within a couple of hours though that combined with the stock

00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:05.040
shortages made it a bit of a disappointing tuesday for a lot of xbox

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:11.039
fans i missed the good old days before order bots and multi-Gigabyte downloads

00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:13.680
ruined console launches back in my day

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

00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:23.280
self-driving cars can steer accelerate brake and even park view but the driver

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

00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:32.239
unexpected situation pops up however honda thinks

00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:35.840
ah jeez you scared me however honda thinks it's ready to take the next step

00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:39.920
forward as the japanese auto giant has announced it should be rolling out a car

00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:44.080
with level 3 automation before the end of march next year meaning that the

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:48.640
driver can do something else during the ride and will have more time to

00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:52.720
intervene if the car requests it the vehicle will be an updated legend sedan

00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:56.720
and it appears that the rollout will be japan only for now after getting

00:02:54.720 --> 00:03:00.239
approval from the japanese government of course seeing how canada misses out on

00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:05.040
everything cool maybe we'll be seeing it here in like 15

00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:10.000

00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:45.920
actually fine yeah you know that apple m1 chip we were just talking about well

00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:49.440
the one thing it apparently can't do is connect to an external graphics card

00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:53.599
it's not clear why support for this feature has been removed though past

00:03:51.440 --> 00:03:57.280
macs have had issues with external gpus and apple might have just been in the

00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:00.959
position of like ah good enough most people probably won't use it anyway it

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:06.720
will also drive people who need more processing horses to future mac pros

00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:09.040
with other apple future silicon chips

00:04:06.720 --> 00:04:12.959
don't you just love having less functionality when you buy an expensive

00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:17.919
gadget it's because it's a prestige project product

00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:22.800
it's curated all the new xbox consoles will support 1440p it's currently

00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:27.360
notably missing from the playstation 5. this isn't a huge shocker considering

00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:32.160
consoles are built primarily for tvs and virtually no tvs out there have a 1440p

00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:36.800
resolution however many console players do use monitors and sony is reportedly

00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:43.639
thinking about adding 1440p support if there's enough demand if only consoles

00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:43.639
would support ultra wide

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

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

00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:04.560
there's a bit of good news today as both google and facebook have extended their

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:09.840
bans on political advertising for the time being now until the end of time yay

00:05:07.919 --> 00:05:14.560
google has said the decision is related to the amount of acrimony that

00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:18.800
that's like lying isn't it legal term and misinformation circulating around

00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:23.759
the election result can we all just get along not when you're being acrimonious

00:05:21.919 --> 00:05:27.440
nanoleaf the company that makes those colored light panels for your gaming den

00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:32.240
is about to launch a competitor to philips hue called essentials featuring

00:05:30.080 --> 00:05:36.000
colored bulbs and light strips it works with thread mesh devices so you won't

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:39.919
need a separate bridge to control them unfortunately they won't be cheap as a

00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:43.360
bulb setting you back 20 bucks away that's not too bad and a light strip

00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:47.600
costing 50. hopefully competition will cause a drop in prices but you also can

00:05:45.919 --> 00:05:52.080
always throw in some colored film over your plain old desktop lamp if not food

00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:56.560
coloring yeah that would work great riley and walmart is expanding its reach

00:05:54.320 --> 00:06:00.960
to the realm of driverless home delivery to compete with amazon in partnership

00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:04.960
with general motors the retail giant is going to be testing some autonomous

00:06:02.479 --> 00:06:08.639
driving in scottsdale arizona starting next week it's pretty cool news for the

00:06:07.039 --> 00:06:13.120
folks out there but i wonder if they'll miss hanging out with the

00:06:10.479 --> 00:06:16.400
people of walmart what's that you know the people of walmart that's
