godam here at Tech link We like to
think that there's an infinite number of intros that we can come up with but
actually there's not YouTube's ad block block has led to hundreds of thousands
of ad block uninstalls proving once again there is nothing as powerful as
the Uno reverse gets you on anything well I don't know why the Avengers
didn't use that on day one no I didn't collide with your car yours hit mine
according to stats from ad blocking company and name for the history of
spirits ghostery 90% of users who gave a
reason for uninstalling their ad blocker cited YouTube's recent policy change but
Google's hatred for ad blockers makes the fact that they sponsored last
month's ad filtering Dev Summit a conference for ad block developers quite
confusing they even gave a presentation the sickos about how Chrome's manifest
V3 update wouldn't hamper ad blockers
right before expanding the ad blocking they started in May and leading to a
record number of ad block uninstalls to be fair that record was closely followed
by a record number of new ad blocker installs as people search for one that
YouTube couldn't detect but overall the number of ad block users decreased so
why would Google co-sponsor the very thing they wish to destroy maybe they
wanted to befriend their enemy earn their trust and wait for them to turn
their back so they could Plunge in the knife or maybe they care more about you
using their browser they may not care about your personal privacy but hey they're
just acting like protective parents if you're going to experiment with elicit
extensions I'd rather you did it here in Chrome and not at that strange firefox's
house AMD has swapped some Zen 4 cores
for smaller more efficient Zen 4C cores
in two new entry-level laptop apus claiming that no human being would ever
know the difference which is both wrong and honestly pretty insulting to AMD's
core customer demographic pedantic nerds
you can't slip it past us actually you're more of a team maroon the zen4 C
cores are meant to be feature identical to Zen 4 while having a smaller
footprint previously being used in their epic server chips to cram unreasonable
number of cores onto a single processor AMD also used Zen 4C cores in the
lower-end ryzen Z1 variant of the Rog Ally handheld but AMD didn't advertise
that right away either because they're testing if people can tell the
difference or they're just ashamed about how much worse the cheaper Ally is than
its extreme older brother some people are drawing comparisons to the p/ eore
hybrid structure Intel has been using since their 12th gen chips but it's not
quite the same I mean just look at the size difference between p and E cores
versus the difference between the 4 and 4C AMD's 4C is like a Zen 4 core that
got great results on a keto diet while Intel's PE cor could probably eat an e
cor and still complain about the small portion size early Benchmark results for
Apple's M3 series of chips suggest Tim Cook wasn't pulling performance numbers
out of his Apple at Monday's scary at
Monday's scary fast event the Californian fruit Corporation claimed
the M3 chip was 20% faster than the M2
and that seems to be in line with the plethora of new leaked geekbench scores
of course there's a new ARM based kid on the Block as well in the form of
Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite Series while Qualcomm p their new little shredders
against the M2 in geekbench since Apple hadn't unveiled the M3 yet both the
Orion 23 watt and 80 watt chips still
outperform the M3 in multi-core scores
although the M3 spanks them in single core a little bit you know no big welts
just some redness you're why are you blushing Riley just a little sounds like
a good weekend as for the M3 Max it performs comparably to the M2 Ultra
which is good news but might sound confusing if you still foolishly thought
that the max chip is Apple's top tier chip rather than the ultra like what
it's obvious so geekbench shows the max
scoring nearly 21,000 in multicore
nearly double the standard M3 meanwhile the M3 Pro is apparently suffering from
some kind of performance anxiety because it didn't show up in these leaks at all
hey it's okay buddy we know you're going to do great in your special spot between
the M3 and the M3 max if that's where you go and actually don't know if you

digital foundaries res digital Foundry digital foundry's
resident wizard Richard lead better posted a deep dive on NVIDIA's t239 the
processor heavily expected to power the Nintendo switch 2 originally leaked by
lovable fan favorite leaker copy 7 Kimmy
2 years ago details have slowly emerged about the chip specs Richard used these
to guide his modifications of an RTX 2050 to simulate the T 239's performance
it it creates knives and stabbing weapons the
t239 and based on his mad science and
speculation it could be that the switch 2 could run any modern game just for
fine if you adjust settings accordingly and use dlss which it probably supports
again though Richard can't say with 100% certainty that this is the switch tw's
chip but it's sort of like the are we
