hey hey you you get into this tech news
that i collected for today's video because it took me a while and yeah i was thinking about you the whole time
that's not that weird ubisoft has announced that the online services for
15 of the publishers games will experience a decommissioning it's a
symptom of being a digital only gamer in the year 2022 and it's actually quite
normal the affected games will no longer be able to access multiplayer modes or
install and play purchase dlc now for being super charitable i'd say maybe
it's understandable that a company trying to optimize server space might do
this for the single player games on the list like anno 2070 a number of
assassin's creed games including the excellent ac2 and prince of persia the
forgotten sands but space junkies is a
multiplayer only vr game from 2019 which will be completely unplayable after
september 1st and to make matters worse assassin's creed 3 and far cry 3 are
losing access to dlc but only the original versions if you bought the
remastered copy you will continue to have permission to download and play the
content you paid for that's so nice now let's not bash on ubisoft's leadership
too hard after all ceo yves guimo voluntarily only took half of his 650
000 bonus this year because the company isn't doing as well as it hoped so
ubisoft could either cut off gamer's access to game content they bought or
what continue reducing their executives bonus
payments dip into their salaries
that's really that's really funny links about upcoming pc hardware
including NVIDIA's rtx 40 series gpus are flowing copiously as the summer goes
on with industry leaker whose name i don't know how to say kopit
seven kimi kapitay claiming some wild numbers for the rtx 4090's clock speeds
in addition to benefiting from the new ada lovelace architecture dr kimi says
the rtx 4090 has a base clock of 2235
megahertz with a 2520 mhz boost clock which is 50 to 60
percent higher than the rtx 3090 amateur
analysts doing some back of the napkin math have also calculated that this
means the 4090 will be capable of over 90 teraflops of compute horsepower
almost twice the teraflop ability of the rtx 3090 ti
oh man i cannot wait for these super powered
graphics cards to launch so i can intentionally ignore them and buy an
older GPU because GPU prices being 200 above msrp
was not a good place to be we can't go back there you can't make me
go back and in other NVIDIA news the company seems to be aware that demand
for their probably way too expensive gpus isn't going to be as high as they
thought it would be back when they put these things into production so they're
reportedly asking chip manufacturer tsmc
to cut NVIDIA's orders of 5 nanometer wafers designed for the rtx 40 series
now AMD and apple two of tsmc's other big customers are also cutting orders
but it seems like NVIDIA may be the biggest offender here as tsmc is
reportedly only agreeing to delay the orders not cut them and is also
demanding NVIDIA find replacement customers so tsmc isn't left holding the
bag i mean you gotta feel for NVIDIA here demand is down for these overpriced
gpus among gamers because they're actually able to buy them again and also
among crypto miners leaving no one to buy new gpus from poor NVIDIA
i hope they'll be okay dennis
don't worry they're it's NVIDIA now it's time for quick bits

quarter inch aluminum screwdriver handle with a magnetic bit socket knurled grip
and swivel top which can deliver powerful repairing force using the 48
steel driver bits included in the kit from phillips and flathead to spanner
squares and splines these are individually selected using data from
thousands of repair guides to find the most helpful ones they just want to help
so help yourself at ifixit.com techlink

watch out on tick tock speaking of tick tock china may have just experienced the
largest cyber security breach in the country's history after unidentified
hackers claimed to steal more than 23 terabytes of data from a shanghai police
database and tried to sell it online the data reportedly includes names addresses
national ids and phone numbers of a billion chinese residents as well as
criminal case information who knows maybe the hackers are trying to even
things out since bite dance apparently has the personal information of every
tick-tocker and the top executives go through it for fun every night before
they go to sleep i don't like that they do that well-known leaker greymond55
maybe they're buddies with copitae who knows has added fuel to rumors that AMD
will be releasing more 3d v cache equipped processors for the current gen
am4 socket team red's existing ryzen 7
5800 x3d could be joined by a ryzen 950
3d or horizon 5 5600 x3d which could
provide a tasty upgrade for anyone still lukewarm on the idea of AMD's upcoming
am5 socket which will have pins on the motherboard Intel style instead of a
bunch of holes for the pins on the ryzen CPU to drop into it was so satisfying
putting things in holes it just always feels good chinese company xiaomi has
unveiled their new flagship smartphone the me 12s ultra which comes with a big
old one-inch sensor on its main camera it's not the first phone to incorporate
a sensor size more commonly found on dedicated point-and-shoot cameras but it
is one of the more mainstream models to actually use the full sensor instead of
just part of it like sony's xperia pro i
one do i think you should get this phone no i just thought you should want to
know about it because of our conversation last week
meta is finally drawing the torturous saga of the company's doomed libra
cryptocurrency project to a close with the announcement that their digital
wallet novi will shut down on september 1st users are being asked to withdraw
their funds asap but don't think that this means meta is out of the crypto
game they literally changed their name because they're full on into the
metaverse which will sadly go hand in hand with crypto web 3 synergistic
transmogrification of e-commerce and let's not forget digital cyber presence
to phase shift analog identity into the virtual
sorry i just had a stroke and once they were mocked but now m.2
SSD coolers are definitely a thing as you can see by looking at this tower
style SSD heatsink with an included 60 millimeter fan from chinese component
maker joeshark and while this kind of cooling might still be overkill SSD
coolers might actually be necessary soon with PCIe 5.0 drives on the up and up so
don't make fun of your pc gaming brethren for making sure their components are nice and comfortable that
tower cooler might be the difference between losing the match and losing it
by slightly less you're the problem and our problem is that we're out of tech
news so come back on wednesday for more i'm going to go start working on that
one because if i know you you're going to want a bunch and there's so much out
there i just want you to be happy
