00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,560
monday's here and we've got some exciting news to help

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:11,639
you deal with the reality of yet another work week micron has just announced that

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:15,679
they've begun large scale production of gddr6 video memory which

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:19,920
i mean this is memory that is specifically for video cards and there

5
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:24,960
are no video cards shipping currently with it obviously so which probably

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:32,800
indicates then an announcement of a new GPU or more from at least one of NVIDIA

7
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:35,520
or AMD gddr6 is fast with microns parts

8
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:42,000
delivering up to 56 gigabytes per second of bandwidth from a single package a 17

9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:46,719
increase over gddr5x but don't expect 17 more

10
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:51,280
FPS in the latest titles i mean obviously better vram could help with

11
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:56,559
handling high quality assets at very high resolutions but the big draw here

12
00:00:53,680 --> 00:01:02,800
is for ai and machine learning including self-driving cars as gddr6 has better

13
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,080
parallelism than its predecessors maybe this will eventually help tesla pick the

14
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:09,920
highway exit with the shortest drive-through line at mcdonald's

15
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,799
hopefully for micron the money they make from gddr6 will offset a potentially

16
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:20,080
huge fine they're facing from the chinese government the prc's

17
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:24,159
anti-monopoly bureau first got micron on their radar last year when it noticed

18
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:30,159
unusual patterns in the pricing of dram and now

19
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:35,280
micron along with samsung and sk hynix are being accused of price fixing and

20
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:42,000
since these three firms represent over 90 percent of the worldwide market for

21
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:43,439
dram the consequences could be

22
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,560
consequential the three companies are looking at up to

23
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:51,680
eight billion us dollars

24
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:55,600
in fines and i'm sure the chinese haven't forgotten that these companies

25
00:01:53,439 --> 00:02:01,360
already got themselves in hot water with american authorities in 2002 for a

26
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:06,240
previous price fixing incident well i for what i'm stunned that the corruption

27
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,759
goes all the way to the top levels of this industry

28
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:14,959
speaking of the top levels microsoft has its sight set on a totally legal kind of

29
00:02:12,239 --> 00:02:20,319
fixing specifically fixing what it sees as problems with the usbc connector a

30
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:27,200
microsoft patent was recently published entitled ultra thin usbc connector

31
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:32,720
isn't that great so unlike some other patents we're not exactly in the dark as

32
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,959
to what it is and what it might be used

33
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:40,000
for although it will remain compatible with the current usb-c connector the new

34
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:44,959
design features a new housing that's easier to install inside devices as it

35
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,440
wouldn't need support plates and could be attached more directly with glue

36
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,920
bolts or even just made part of the device chassis itself microsoft claims

37
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:57,840
in the patent that the design would not only be more aesthetically pleasing but

38
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:01,680
that it could reduce strain on the cable something that's led to the demise of

39
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:05,680
many a charging cable in the past when it's bent off the side of a tablet

40
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,080
although nothing's confirmed yet we could be seeing the slim down connector

41
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:15,599
on new surface devices later this year i guess microsoft is trying to make losing

42
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:17,920
weight for the winter a thing

43
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:24,000
and now it's time for quick bites brought to you by ourselves specifically

44
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:28,480
ltx 2018 our meetup and tech event that's coming up on july 14th at the

45
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:33,040
richmond olympic oval here in beautiful british columbia that is if you believe

46
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:36,000
what it says on our license plates meet the Linus tech tips team and

47
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:40,319
participate in everything from a cable management challenge to a lan tournament

48
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:45,120
to playing games in vr to trying out our 12k gaming station

49
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:49,680
that's only a small amount of what's on offer so come and check it out tickets

50
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:54,080
are just 35 canadian loonies which is whatever that converts to in your local

51
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:58,239
currency plus cost of hotel food and airfare okay so it's not feasible for

52
00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:02,720
everyone but do your best now on to the quick bits for some reason

53
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:07,280
microsoft is just now getting around to implementing mouse and keyboard support

54
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:12,879
on lots of titles for the xbox one which includes a partnership with razer to add

55
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:16,959
chroma support for games but if fancy lighting isn't your thing

56
00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:22,000
xbox one should support other keyboard brands as well speaking of games bose

57
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:26,479
might have some more competition in the noise cancelling headphone space very

58
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:32,000
soon as apple is reportedly releasing air pods with that technology next year

59
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:36,240
as well as a more traditional full-sized pair

60
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,240
what does this have to do with games

61
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:42,160
pricing is currently unavailable but given that it's apple

62
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:46,800
i highly doubt that your dreams of an affordable way to shut out irritating

63
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:51,360
people around you will be coming any time soon

64
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:54,880
and it sounds ha ha like apple was trying to drown out some

65
00:04:53,280 --> 00:05:01,120
unwanted noise of its own as they are now offering either free repairs or

66
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:03,759
possibly refunds on previous repairs for

67
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:09,440
users who experienced sticky macbook keys with a design flaw some folks paid

68
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:14,080
over 700. for a fix that was well

69
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:19,440
seems by their own admission squarely apple's fault crippling their budgets

70
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:24,479
for more shiny eye devices with crappy repair policies of their own will

71
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:29,360
someone please think of the children who own apple devices

72
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:34,400
but something that won't cost nearly as much is the new flip grip a crowdfunded

73
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:39,039
contraption that allows you to mount the nintendo switch vertically in your hands

74
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:44,080
making for a better experience in traditional portrait-oriented arcade

75
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:48,639
games like icarunga donkey kong and pac-man it costs 12 dollars to pre-order

76
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:53,919
and liberate yourself from the scourge of vertical video that you deal with

77
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:58,560
enough on youtube and instagram's new video thing and finally researchers at

78
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:03,600
the university of michigan have set a new record for the world's smallest

79
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:09,199
computer stealing the title back from ibm with a tiny cubic device measuring

80
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:13,440
just point three millimeters on each size on each size point three

81
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:18,880
millimeters for our yankee friends out there that's really small that means

82
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:21,199
even a grain of rice absolutely dwarfs

83
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:27,120
this thing the diminutive computer comes with processing RAM and io although even

84
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:31,280
that slim type-c connector probably won't fit in it and might be used for

85
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:35,600
medical applications in the future however there's no word yet if their

86
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:40,000
rivals at ohio state have any plans to one-up the tiny system or

87
00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:44,639
one down it as it were and that's the news join us back here on

88
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:48,840
wednesday for more scandal drama and tired jokes about apple
