one day the tech news came for me now i'm trapped in this void forced to
read cringy intros like this one it's okay forever in recent years Intel
has appeared to fall behind getting stuck on 14 and 10 nanometer process
notes as its competitors move on to seven and five nanometers the obvious
solution rename your products to sound more
competitive wait a second of course this actually makes more sense than it seems
Intel's processor technology is in fact very similar to tsmc and samsung's in
terms of transistor density since these
process node names don't really refer to actual transistor size anymore not since
22 nanometer Intel laid out a roadmap outlining the new naming scheme with
Intel 7 4 and 3 replacing 10 nanometer 7
nanometer and so on and eventually being replaced by Intel 20a with the a
standing for the angstrom unit of measurement
okay so we're going back into this at some point ten of which make up one
nanometer that doesn't sound metric if you're confused dr ian cuttros has a good
explanation because he is a massive nerd
and that accent makes him smarter the rebranding is the latest move by new ceo
pat gelsinger extraordinaire to get team blue back on track and so far his
campaign seems to be working Intel's new foundry division just announced it will
be producing x86 and ARM chips for qualcomm and amazon and i thought that
was gonna be a list but it's not somebody give this man a pat gelsinger
on the back californians looking to order high-end
alienware gaming pcs there's dozens of us online are being met with a notice
saying that dell can't ship those products to their state due to power
consumption regulations and it's not just california dell isn't shipping the
aurora r10 or r12 to colorado hawaii
oregon vermont or washington
washington the state not d.c the good one either
it's a district it's writing the name so what gives do
these states just hate pc gamers i mean what else is there to do in vermont
visit bernie sanders sanders is house
the man is a museum actually it looks like dell is to blame here these states
have enacted minimum power efficiency requirements for electronics that were
announced in 2016 supported by an organization called the information
technology industry council which has hp
Intel dell and lenovo among its members dell knew these regulations were coming
for years and apparently did not prepare by building these systems with rule
abiding power supplies which many of their competitors did do there's also
much more to the story so stay tuned for a lot of tech tips video dedicated on
the subject where Linus gets very angry about something or you know
you know what he does and lg once at the top of the smartphone
manufacturer heap is going to sell iphones and other apple products in its
south korean stores they have stores the announcement comes months after lg
officially exited the smartphone business and i guess apple approached
them as they were crying in the alley uh behind computer headquarters and they
made their dasherly a preposition hey chin up what's up
the news surely won't be celebrated by samsung who has enjoyed somewhat of a
duopoly over the south korean phone market with lg and will now have to
compete more heavily with apple in the country now that you can actually buy them more easily can you imagine if LTT
was reduced to reposting videos from mkbhd that's what this is like can you
imagine what time of day would they even come

announce the Radeon rx 6600 xt on july
30th at the china joy tech expo number one which is
apparently a big event i've never heard of but we we've never heard of it
because we're in the west and the west has ces but now china is becoming the
world's dominant economic and cultural powerhouse and we've lost so china joy
here we come facebook has halted sales of the oculus
quest 2 after multiple reports of skin reactions including swelling and rashes
resulting from the vr headset's foam face plate also known as its facebook
the social media giant is offering existing users a free silicone cover
while they prepare a new version of the oculus quest 2 with 128 gigabytes of
onboard storage for release next month we don't care about the storage we need
the eyes are good for your skin soak in there got it
apple has won patents for an under display touch id and face id system
meaning we'll probably see those pop up in an upcoming iphone in 20 years but
it's worth noting that zte is now on their second generation of under display
camera tech with the axon 30 because once again china number one isn't a meme
anymore china is number one but you wouldn't know that because your
government will let you buy zte phones will it
fake news the heavily anticipated halo infinite will hold its first technical
play test this weekend with the chosen few who got invites like us getting the
chance to play against the game's new bots the rest of us
i mean you can watch from the sidelines giving us all flashbacks of when our
older siblings hogged the controller that doesn't sound fun at all and that's
why i stopped playing video games and watch out neurolink and by extension
elon musk the fda has given approval to syncron to begin human trials of their s
their sten strode sten
brain computer interface the device is installed by implanting a lace of
electrodes in the blood vessels of the brain which lead to a connector on the
chest that can be plugged into a computer so paralyzed patients can send
email shop and even do online banking just by thinking i wonder if you can use
it to order a tesla that would be really insulting
to elon musk got him maybe you can use the stentro to not buy dogecoin take
that elon uh he wouldn't like that and i think it's time to not continue this
episode so come back on friday for more tech news otherwise i'll just stay in this void a little space between
tech and news it's not a bad void but
i want to go home it's got a nice background pretty good boy
