you know when your friend shows you something they've been working really hard on and it's like it's pretty bad so
rather than sparing their feelings you're just honest with them I wish
Intel had a friend like that because reviews of the company's core Ultra 200
series AKA aerol Lake are excoriating
team Blue's latest desktop processors and not even me showing up in a
turtleneck in the LTT review could do anything about it as digital Foundry
delicately puts it there are serious problems with particular the flagship
core Ultra 9 285 K's gaming performance
that problem being that it's bad the new
chip is routinely beaten by its own predecessor The Core i 94900 k but also
by its competitors the ryzen 9 9950 X
and ryzen 77800 x3d in their written
review Euro gamer even found the 285k losing to a core i5 12 600k from three
generations ago now there is a bit of light on Intel's Horizon here
computerbase saw some disproportional performance boosts by overclocking their
systems RAM and derau increased FPS by
7% in Counterstrike 2 by specifically boosting the 285 K's ring clock so just
spend a bunch of time tweaking your components voltages without frying
anything and you'll be fine despite the overclocking potential it's not a great
launch week for Intel especially when leaks are making the upcoming Rises 7
9800 x3d look pretty good and the 9000
Series in general is performing 7 to 10% better in games than they did at launch
thanks to updates not all of the criticism is fair though PC World points
out that AOL Lake performs extra horribly under Windows default balanced
power mode but PC users are going to be using the high performance mode anyway
it's not like this whole CPU lineup was specifically engineered to prioritize
Energy Efficiency or anything wait it was no citing Insider sources
The Verge confidently reported yesterday that open aai plans to release Orion its
next big AI model and a proper follow-up to gp4 by December openai CEO Sam Alman
quickly replied on Twitter writing fake news out of control
send yeah yeah cancel the launch cancel
the I will eat you now The Verge sources
could have been wrong but whatever the truth is sifting the real news from the
fake is about to get harder not just because of AI but because of people
trying to outwit AI members of the r/
London subreddit have taken to heaping praise upon less popular restaurants to
taint Google's often Reddit fueled AI overview search results and keep
influencers and tourists away from the really good sandwich shop but I'm
worried about the precedent this sets open Ai and Google have deals to train
their AI on Reddit posts does the dead internet Theory factor in redditors
doing a 2024 version of back off get your own sandwich I wasn't sure about
that reference I don't get it wait really no oh wow is it from a commercial
this is a mistake guys I don't think we're ready and neither does open ai's
senior adviser for AGI Readiness who just resigned writing that no one not
even open AI or their peers is ready for artificial general intelligence the word
we made up for something that doesn't exist yet but Ready or Not Here It Comes
the latest iOS 18.2 Developer beta adds
chat GPT integration and image generation to Apple intelligence
bringing AI features to the iPhone people but maybe wait for the full
release before you let your mom install it on her iPhone though you got her one
right you were told to get her one well then at least consider getting her a
custom website from our sponsor ODU although it's so easy to use with simple
drag and drop elements and a codefree approach she could make a sick website
for her homemade mini sculpture business
herself I I mean I don't know maybe your mom's really techsavvy I'm just saying
on app ODU can animate website content with scrolling effects and automatically
adapts for all kinds of devices including iPhones owned by moms and
others ODU even provides unlimited hosting reliable support and a free
custom domain for an entire year so click the link at in the description to
create a website for you or your mom for free we've been working hard on these
quick bits so tell us what you think and
be be honest the US copyright office has granted a partial exemption allowing
individual franchise owners and independent restaurant tours to diagnose
and repair their own equipment at their own restaurants this includes those
notoriously always broken soft serve machines at McDonald's which are
purposefully finicky to work with and have digital locks that could legally be
interfered with under the terms of the dmca that's right they copyrighted the
ice cream machine so they could get more money from fixing it now however the
copyright office has sided with nonprofit public knowledge and I fix it
meaning that all the little children and the large adult men will be able to get
their flurry fix I'm loving that Intel has finally won a near
15-year legal battle against a 1.06
billion Euro f back in 2009 the EU commission the
blocks antitrust Watchdog alleged Intel
had engaged in two illegal practices giving rebates to computer manufacturers
for buying their chips and paying manufacturers to Halt or delay the
launch of products containing AMD's chips two years ago a court annuled the
charges related to the rebates which was then appealed by the commission that
appeal has now failed stay with me so Intel doesn't have to pay the billion
Euro fine Intel does still have to pay a nearly 400 million EUR fine for the
sales restrictions but that's just peanuts I mean it's not
to them right now 400 million EUR that's fine an investigation into the company
Babel Street has revealed how mobile advertising data can be used to spy on
almost anyone the company sells a platform called locate X that allows you
to see a time lapse of the movement of mobile devices in and out of almost any
area on a world map C cers can also track individuals using their mobile
advertising ID a unique identifier built into all Android and iOS mobile devices
while the tech is supposedly limited to government use when an investigator
asked for a two-e free trial mentioning they were considering government
contract work the Babel Street salesperson said that's good enough and
they don't actually check oh cool thanks I'm microwaving my phone and living in
the forest this is the last episode of TechLink FYI Elon Musk has a admitted
that most existing Teslas may not actually be able to ever drive
themselves tragic specifically he said Hardware 3 the self-driving computer and
sensors equipped in Teslas from 2019 to
2023 may not be capable of unsupervised
full self-driving but Elon says if
that's the case Tesla will upgrade full self-driving customers to Hardware 4 for
free however according to Electric that might be difficult if not impossible not
only is the hardware 4 computer a different form factor Hardware 4 Teslas
also have different cameras and different power and Camera harnesses but
if anyone can figure out the upgrade it's the guy that said Tesla will solve
autonomous driving by the end of the year for the past 5 years he I think
he's got it this time he's serious and researchers want to create paleo
inspired robots as a way of studying extinct animals these moving physical
models could be used to better understand extinct animals anatomy and
how they might have moved back when they were alive and had all their flesh on
while these off-brand Dinobots probably don't transform like the ones you had as
a kid they could be used to test competing hypotheses about ancient life
on the other hand this also feels exactly like how you get Horizon zero
Dawn robot dinosaurs and do you really want our future clone descendants to
have to fight Raptor lawn mowers on their way to school every day we're just
trying to think ahead but we won't blame you if you skip out on school on Monday
to watch another episode of techlinked you probably shouldn't though for your
own sake what we shouldn't be encouraging this
