happy halloween i am a tech news oh
you're a dead ringer this is what we look like Intel couldn't let tectober
pass without reminding everyone that they've got new processors coming out
early next year did you forget don't don't forget we're still relevant
yep yesterday team blue dropped some official details about their 11th gen
rocket lake processors including the fact that the desktop lineup's top tier
models will max out at 8 cores the most
recent desktop flagships the 10900k has 10 cores so while this seems like a
downgrade Intel says rocket lake's new architecture dubbed cypress cove
well the water's so blue there will make up for the lower core count with much
higher efficiency clock speeds and support for avx 512 which will boost the
performance of large workload applications like deep learning and 3d
rendering rocket lake will also come with Intel's fancy new z graphics on
board z graphics xe why companies but will it
really be the graphics you want to have we don't know we'll see in q1 because
that's when these chips are coming out did you forget please don't forget oh
when NVIDIA released the rtx 3070 in the
arms of consumers yesterday and when i say consumers i mean those people with
time to sit at computers and refresh 50 tabs to try to get one yep while the
3070 launch appeared to go a bit smoother than the 3080 and 3090s units
still sold out basically everywhere in a matter of hours not seconds but hours
it's almost like the two-week delay wasn't actually to make sure that there
was enough stock go around but was instead intended to detract from AMD's
Radeon event or something like that i don't know nothing about that you got it
move over sherlock this is this is detect linked you're so smart if you
really want that rtx 3070 shopping experience you can visit GPU vendor
galaxy's virtual online store where you can take a look at 3d models of the rtx
3070 that you won't be able to buy for quite a while so there's also boxes for
the unannounced rtx 3060 there very exhilarating
my weekend is planned i'm going there in vr oh and if anyone but an apple authorized
repair person tries to replace the camera in the iphone 12 it'll break
that's according to ifixit and multiple repair technicians and right to repair
advocates who say it's not clear whether the flaw is a bug or intentional after
swapping cameras between two iphone 12s the camera will appear to work normally
but after a short time will begin to glitch we'll refuse to switch to the
ultra ride lens and will occasionally become completely unresponsive of course
this isn't completely surprising as apple has never wanted its users to
repair iOS devices on their own but it comes after apple gave some third-party
repair shops official support and it makes even more sense in light of
apple's recent financial numbers which reiterated that iphone sales are one of
the company's biggest cash cows um
which they need right now because xiaomi ships more phones than them boom
oh apple when will we learn to make money by offering free services that
actually collect user data and sell it onto advertisers like a normal company
you silly goose grow up that's what we do wait

a quick comment netflix has raised the monthly price of
their standard and premium plans from 1299 and 1599 us to 13.99 and 17.99 us
respectfully the move is ostensibly designed to provide netflix more revenue
duh to make more and less good original content
seriously can you guys just take the funding for three or four of these horrible reality tv shows and just make
like blade runner yeah some
altered carbon well the first four episodes of ultra carbon that's true
google is including a free Android vpn with the two terabyte tier in its google
one cloud storage subscription eligible users will also get access to pro
sessions where they can learn about vpns from google experts hopefully it's good
one of the main appeals of using a vpn is protecting yourself from data
tracking so i'm sure using one designed by the data aggregation company is a
great idea is that sarcastic
speaking of people who track you advertising companies and publishers have filed a legal complaint against
apple in france in regards to a new iOS 14 feature that allows users to block an
app's permission to track them across other apps on the web the advertisers
say this feature will lead most users to decline being tracked which will lead to
the advertisers losing revenue
after rolling out the beta for full self-driving in some of its cars tesla
has increased the price of the autonomous driving package from 8 000
u.s to 10. although i'm not sure the footage of beta testers trying the
technology out is a particularly gleaming endorsement of the feature
which is at times equally impressive and whoa whoa whoa geez that was close
come on i'm walking here
set that sentence up like i was going to say another part of it but there's no more and here's some GameLinked for you
spider-man miles morales is getting a skin that both looks and moves like a
suit from spider-man into the spider-verse complete with a stop-motiony lower frame rate this is

far cry 6 into the far future then
the new year all right wait that's actually fine because nobody cares give me more spider-man i don't care enough
