so i bet you guys came here for the tech news but i'm still in like roast mode so
uh here's one for you tech news more like tech nudes and you ain't getting
any boom roasted then there's riley
nice script but you're basically ned flanders without the mustache boom
roasted speaking of roasted apple got roasted in
the u.s supreme court today thanks to a ruling allowing an antitrust case
against the tech giant to move forward the case which has been ongoing since
2011 aims to hold apple accountable for
its monopoly on app distribution on iOS
now while Android allows the installation of apps from outside its
official marketplace the play store iOS
does not and the argument goes that apple's 30
cut of revenue in the app store would not be competitive if iOS users were
allowed to buy apps from other stores
now this ruling does not actually decide anything in the case it just allows it
to continue but if judges ultimately side with the plaintiffs apple could be
forced to not only refund money to iOS users but also to open up the iOS
platform to third-party app stores personally i'm in favor of this though
because the way i see it iphone users deserve tech nudes just as much as
Android users that's what i call
now lenovo thinks the world needs more think branded
products so it's announced a slew of new ones the thinkpad x1 extreme is getting
a refresh with a 9th gen Intel core i9 processor and a 4k OLED display gotta
get me some of that OLED and there's also the new think book line aimed at a
more consumer-ish but still businessy
audience whatever that means with 8th gen Intel processors and starting at 729
us perhaps more interesting though is the unveiling of the think reality
a6 ar headset it essentially looks like
a competitor to microsoft's hololens powered by a snapdragon 845 based system
housed in a belt-mounted compute box
it runs its own software platform that businesses can use with their os of
choice so it isn't dependent on microsoft's mixed reality system and i
guess that could be really exciting if it wasn't so hard to care about like
basic vr and ar stuff anymore like can i
make blueprints for an iron man suit using holographic displays like tony
stark yet no all right well call me when that's done
friday what about the gender switch filters and AMD is apparently gearing up
to release Radeon rx 600 series gpus
that is if data found in the company's latest drivers are any indication a
member on the tech power-up forums found references to AMD's Radeon adrenaline
drivers for Radeon rx 620 625 630 and
640 products the entry for that last one the 640 had the same device id though as
the polaris based Radeon rx 550x
this has led some users to speculate that AMD is going to re-brand the lower
tier polaris cards and release them as 600 series cards as a way to separate
them from the navi based rx 3000 series
cards that are supposedly on the way as well
good old AMD always following that age old tech industry adage if you can't
beat them release the same thing you already had but with a higher number on
it a works every time right yeah hit me
you know what else works every time today's bad quacks brought to you by the

links below now wu ting best known for the looting one analog keyboard has
introduced the thanks lekker key switch
intended to be used by third-party manufacturers to build their own analog
keyboards some major pc hardware companies have released analog keyboards
before like cooler master with their mk850 but we may be about to see a lot
more of this in the wild and it's about time because i'm really tired of walking
way faster than the npcs you know if i want to take a leisurely stroll i just
want to you know touch it a little bit and just be like yeah yeah that's you're right in this mmo
world stroll baby now the bottomless pit that
is the epic game store has claimed yet another soul the outer wilds a space
exploration game will be exclusive to the store for an unspecified amount of
time but weird thing the game was crowdfunded and
during the campaign the developers claimed it would be released on mac
Linux and pc via steam so backers are
understandably not too less stoked as they say with this
decision you know epic just it's bad enough that they're meanies but now
they're making other game developers into liars
sweeney you need to stop this madness before you turn from a tim into a todd
in other news you might be able to pay at certain physical stores with
cryptocurrency soon thanks to an app called
speden spin
the app uses the flexa payment network and will support bitcoin bitcoin cash
and the gemini dollar it will initially work at a actually decently large number
of retailers including creighton barrel gamestop whole foods nordstrom and
jabba juice now it's not quite a physical crypto coin but hey at least
we're you know getting closer so
you know hats off to that now the success of startups like spacex
and blue origin has inspired the founders of hermes to make civilian
supersonic aircraft cool again this is neat the company is apparently
developing an aircraft that will travel at speeds of up to mach 5
making the over seven hour trip from new york to paris in an hour and a half
which raises the question is it still a seven hour trip then
the plane will apparently be made of titanium so that's pretty cool
uh sounds credible i'm looking forward to it and amazon is facing criticism for
rolling out machines in its warehouses that can box products four or five times
faster than human workers which assuming they rolled these out in all 55 of their
fulfillment centers in the us could result in 1300 employees losing their jobs now the
company says that this will allow them to create more jobs elsewhere
and conditions in amazon warehouses are apparently pretty sucky so maybe
this is good but then the thing that they're
leaving out is those jobs that amazon creates will probably lead to you know
small towns having entire you know like downtown cores of just tumbleweeds
there will be robots though so speaking of weeds it's time for us to
close to prune this weed episode it was
growing out of control so thanks for watching everybody if you feel the tech
news in your bones but you want to feel it in your ear holes come back on
wednesday and we'll make you feel anything you want in those ear holes of
yours you know how it is boom roasted roasted
