00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:09,400
hello and welcome to gamelink it's no it's Tech news time oh

2
00:00:06,839 --> 00:00:13,960
I got you so good Intel has called out AMD for misleading branding in an

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:18,640
arguably hypocritical new marketing presentation it published before swiftly

4
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:23,359
taking it down when it was spotted by Tom's Hardware and others sadly for

5
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:28,080
Intel and Barbara strand the internet never forgets the presentation deck uses

6
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:33,440
imagery to represent AMD as an untrustworthy snake oil salesman and

7
00:00:30,599 --> 00:00:38,120
contains four core truths intended to help consumers see through its

8
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:44,440
competitors witchcraft the first is that current gen ryzen

9
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:47,520
processors secretly use AMD's 2019 chip

10
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:49,440
architecture unlike current gen Intel

11
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:54,440
processors which use Intel's top-of-the-line 13th gen architecture

12
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,879
released in 2023 and created by very slightly tweaking Intel's 12th gen

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:04,479
architecture from 2021 so much much different never mind in Intel's 2015 14

14
00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:10,240
nanm Skylake architecture which as PC Gamers Jeremy leair points out Intel

15
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:12,560
rebadged twice and sold as 6th 7th

16
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:16,640
eighth ninth and 10th gen it's like when I was a kid my parents gave me the same

17
00:01:14,439 --> 00:01:20,640
Easy Bake Oven 5 years in a row for my birthday to be fair to Intel there's

18
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,200
more than a little truth to some of their accusations like ryzen's naming

19
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:29,960
conventions being confusing but that's as rich as a triple thick chocolate pie

20
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:33,320
coming from Intel Intel could have also helped its own case if it didn't

21
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:38,479
cherry-pick benchmarks in its real world Performance Marketing push back in 2019

22
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:44,240
and wasn't equally guilty of oiling the old snake that's what snake oil is for

23
00:01:41,399 --> 00:01:50,079
right that sounds like an innuendo thankfully AMD actually did

24
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:56,079
help Intel's case today by unveiling its ryzen 8040 series of laptop chips which

25
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:58,880
appear to be pretty much the same

26
00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:03,039
hardware-wise as last year's 70/40 series but with high higher clock speeds

27
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:06,880
and other optimizations look I don't want to blame the victim here but maybe

28
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:10,840
AMD should fix their naming scheme if they don't want other companies to post

29
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:16,879
mean PDFs about them it didn't work for me but never know Google has finally

30
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:24,000
launched their new AI model Gemini which it claims beats gp4 on a wide range of

31
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:25,480
benchmarks but notably not in h swag

32
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,519
which is self-evidently the most important one Google describes Gemini as

33
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:35,920
natively multimodal as it was trained on images text and video itself instead of

34
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:40,680
relying on plugins to other models Gemini also comes in three versions Nano

35
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:44,959
which is more lightweight Pro which is more middleweight and Ultra which can

36
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:48,319
canonically defeat Goku it's called Gemini that's why they're three of them

37
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:54,239
yeah what as of today Gemini Pro is now

38
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:58,159
powering Google's AI chatbot Bart it's currently in English only but it will

39
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:02,760
soon be available in 170 markets around the world still not Europe or Canada

40
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:06,720
though presumably due to a fear of adequate antitrust regulations and moose

41
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,840
they're everywhere they're in the walls as of

42
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,560
December 13th Gemini Pro will be available to developers as well as

43
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:19,879
Google's Enterprise customers via Google AI Studio or Google Cloud vertex AI then

44
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:24,000
at some point in 2024 Gemini Ultra will replace Gemini Pro within Bard and will

45
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:29,439
be made available to users through a cloud API despite recent turbulence open

46
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:34,560
AI GPT 4 remains Google's and everyone else biggest rival in the llm space to

47
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:39,480
the point that chat GPT was Wikipedia's most viewed article of 2023 with over 49

48
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,920
million page views that's at least better than last year when the Russian

49
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:48,799
invasion of Ukraine Got beat out by Jeffrey dmer that came out of

50
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:53,480
nowhere twitch has announced that by the end of February next year it will end

51
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:57,400
all business in South Korea where it says its cost to operate is

52
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:02,040
prohibitively expensive according to Twitch CEO Dan Clancy the company has

53
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:07,040
been running at a loss in South Korea and despite reducing Source quality to a

54
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:10,959
maximum of 720p and experimenting with peer-to-peer models for Source quality

55
00:04:09,239 --> 00:04:15,760
its Network fees in the country are still 10 times more expensive than most

56
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:19,400
other countries Clancy has stated that twitch will work with affected streamers

57
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:23,280
and will help them migrate to Alternative streaming platforms like

58
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:28,479
YouTube and the korean-based Africa

59
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:33,240
hm that is a name is that what it's called yes did they get licensing for

60
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:37,880
that streamers outside of South Korea with significant Korean fan bases may

61
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:42,120
also see a significant hit to revenue it's hard to understand how twitch the

62
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:47,000
world's largest live streaming platform could fail in South Korea a global

63
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:52,360
hotspot for Esports but the answer May lie in South Korea's 2016 sending party

64
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:57,400
Network pays law which requires parties sending information over the internet to

65
00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:01,720
pay a fee to telecoms rather than just the receiving party which is how it

66
00:04:59,039 --> 00:05:05,720
works everywhere else this effectively allows South Korean telecoms to double

67
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:09,360
charge for internet traffic it's like splitting the check on a date except

68
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,600
that both parties pay the full price for the entire meal no wonder it's hard to

69
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:16,520
find someone right now now it's time for quick bids brought to you by the ridge

70
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:21,039
this holiday season the only thing that should be bursting at the seams is

71
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:24,560
Santa's bag not your old leather bfold why not spruce up your wallet like your

72
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:28,880
tree this year with the rid's holiday sale they have over 30 different colors

73
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,479
and styles of sleek wallets to keep your pockets organ

74
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:37,560
and if you want to give someone a gift you can make it extra special with personalized messages and Designs until

75
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:42,080
December 20th you can save up to 30% on purchases by using the link in the

76
00:05:39,039 --> 00:05:44,280
description so do it quick bits are a

77
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:47,400
lot like seafood stew it's a bunch of tasty little bite-sized chunks and if

78
00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:54,240
you consume it more than 4 days after it was prepared it'll make you sick iMessage support on Android is finally

79
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:59,000
here for for real this time thanks to messaging company beeper's new app

80
00:05:56,479 --> 00:06:02,800
beeper mini unlike Sunbird which shut down after huge security concerns were

81
00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:07,720
brought to light and beeper's existing service combining iMessage with other

82
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,919
chat apps beeper mini doesn't sign in

83
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:14,759
with your Apple ID on a Mac and a server Farm somewhere instead beeper claims to

84
00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:19,720
have reverse engineered iMessage allowing Android users to sign in

85
00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:23,680
directly to Apple Services it's not free though it costs two bucks a month which

86
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:29,599
should keep the ship afloat until Tim's Elite assassins extrapolate beeper's

87
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:34,160
location what they're in the House Bar

88
00:06:29,599 --> 00:06:36,680
get down I and Barbara will find you

89
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:41,319
come on Barbara let's go some of the earliest videos posted to Instagram have

90
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:45,599
been losing audio and are instead displaying an error message claiming

91
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:49,039
that the video has no sound several users have reported distress after

92
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:53,960
finding that old videos of precious memories and deceased loved ones and

93
00:06:51,039 --> 00:06:58,199
pets lacked all audio luckily according to the verge that audio isn't lost

94
00:06:56,039 --> 00:07:02,919
forever the videos can be heard when played through a browser just not in the

95
00:07:00,479 --> 00:07:06,639
app itself meta is apparently aware of the issue and working to fix it but in

96
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:11,360
the meantime consider somewhere more secure to keep your important data maybe

97
00:07:08,879 --> 00:07:16,680
a hard drive and an existential despair proof bunker are you really relying on

98
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:21,039
Instagram to keep these all right a lawsuit against Amazon for selling spy

99
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,960
cams is going forward after the company's motion to dismiss the case was

100
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:30,360
denied the plaintive claims that the EEG giant should have foreseen that a camera

101
00:07:27,599 --> 00:07:34,800
hidden in a cloth hook that won't attract attention according to its

102
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:38,080
product listing might be used to illegally record people while they're

103
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:43,000
getting undressed I just maybe just maybe confirming that

104
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:47,120
they do indeed have a brain the judge agreed this claim was credible enough

105
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:51,400
for the suit to go forward while Amazon may have put people at risk by selling

106
00:07:48,919 --> 00:07:55,159
this camera if this lawsuit exposes them they will at least have the luxury of

107
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,919
not being filmed Microsoft has announced that individuals not just businesses

108
00:07:57,159 --> 00:08:04,560
will be able to pay for Windows 10 extended security updates past the os's

109
00:08:01,599 --> 00:08:09,240
scheduled expiry date of October 14th 2025 just over 10 years after it

110
00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:13,319
launched it's seemingly the tech Giants latest admission that Windows users

111
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:17,800
don't actually prefer it when you make basic features

112
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:21,479
worse how could we have known Microsoft is already committed to Bringing

113
00:08:19,039 --> 00:08:26,159
co-pilot and other previously Windows 11 exclusive AI features to the older OS a

114
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:30,240
year after saying Windows 10 wouldn't receive any more big feature updates

115
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:33,680
it's all a little confusing using but I understand that Microsoft has its hands

116
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:38,279
full finding more products it can slap a co-pilot sticker on it's a full-time job

117
00:08:35,839 --> 00:08:43,159
and the UK is considering using face scanning Tech to ageg gate pornography

118
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:47,839
following the controversial Online safety Bill passing into law to be fair

119
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:51,399
some supermarkets in the UK allow customers to buy booze with a face scan

120
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:55,880
and self checkout but that's at a physical location with human staff there

121
00:08:53,600 --> 00:09:00,839
to spot any 14-year-old wearing a fake mustache the UK wants adult websites to

122
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:05,839
estimate a a person's age from a selfie which sounds super cool but the

123
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:09,720
government does admit to one small problem quote there's little evidence

124
00:09:07,839 --> 00:09:13,760
that the AI method of age estimation will be fair reliable or effective but

125
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:19,120
once they figure that out there'll be no no problem it work like a

126
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:23,160
charm once we figure out this whole it works thing just like you'll be able to

127
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,839
come back here on Friday for more TechLink no face scans required we trust

128
00:09:25,839 --> 00:09:33,000
that you wouldn't look at anything you're not supposed to you're a good person

129
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000
don't
