WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.100 hey I saw you working hard this week so 00:00:03.540 --> 00:00:11.580 I made you this big bowl of tech news careful now it's hot Gamers Nexus may 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:15.540 have found the reason why the RTX 4090 connector is getting even hotter than 00:00:13.559 --> 00:00:19.859 that bowl of tech news I just gave you in a video published on Wednesday after 00:00:17.580 --> 00:00:24.840 completing two weeks of testing the infamous 12 volt high power connector 00:00:21.900 --> 00:00:30.000 the GN team disputed the weak solder joints hypothesis put forward by Igor's 00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:34.020 lab stating politely that Igor didn't appear to conduct any actual heat 00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:37.620 testing and only looked at adapters that hadn't failed which is kind of like 00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:43.079 looking for socially well-adjusted teenagers in a school chess club 00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:45.480 that seems unnecessarily rude I was in 00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:50.039 one Steve from Gamer's Nexus instead postulated two potential causes for the 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:54.420 failures first foreign object debris created either in manufacturing or by 00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:58.559 repeated plugging and unplugging which could get into the pins and heat up from 00:00:55.980 --> 00:01:02.640 conduction the second hypothesis was a scenario in which the connector is not 00:01:00.360 --> 00:01:07.020 plugged all the way into the graphics card which is the only failure scenario 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:11.159 they were able to replicate seems like the adapter overheats when it's not 00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:14.220 absolutely fully plugged in whether that's because you didn't realize you 00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:18.900 hadn't gotten it all the way in there or because you did get it in but then bent 00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:22.920 it at a sideways angle which pops one side out a few millimeters I mean we all 00:01:20.820 --> 00:01:26.040 do that from time to time I pop out a few millimeters and sometimes I pop off 00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:30.960 and we're trying to summarize this as best we can but Steve's 30 minute video 00:01:28.140 --> 00:01:34.619 has way more detail so go watch it the findings may be good news for NVIDIA who 00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:39.600 found themselves the target of a class action lawsuit over the melting adapter 00:01:36.540 --> 00:01:42.119 as well as a merciless tweet from an AMD 00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:45.500 exec I wonder what burned more probably the 40 90. 00:01:46.220 --> 00:01:52.140 NVIDIA just released a statement regarding testing of their own that is 00:01:50.220 --> 00:01:57.180 consistent with gn's conclusion and stated they are aware of only 50 cases 00:01:54.659 --> 00:02:02.100 of failure globally which is a drop in a bucket I guess there's no reason not to 00:01:59.460 --> 00:02:06.960 buy a 1600 GPU now take out that second mortgage we are kidding that's a joke do 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:11.099 what you will speaking of things that can be hot deep fakes 00:02:09.660 --> 00:02:15.120 okay you've seen your favorite celebrities in commercials or a trailer 00:02:13.140 --> 00:02:19.020 for an upcoming British series and that's it nowhere sketchy at all and one 00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:23.760 company is hoping to keep it that way Intel has developed a technology to 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:28.860 detect deep fakes called fake catcher makes sense which can operate in real 00:02:26.040 --> 00:02:33.060 time to detect deep fake videos Intel much like our fans in the YouTube 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:38.459 comments quickly claim to be first to do this fake catcher reportedly uses 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:42.660 a deep learning AI that analyzes the blood flow mechanics of a face to 00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:48.000 determine if the likeness is authentic or not and apparently it has a 96 00:02:45.060 --> 00:02:51.959 success rate it doesn't work as well for bloodless people 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:58.860 Mark Zuckerberg the tech is based on photo plethismography 00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:01.140 a technique of measuring the change in 00:02:58.860 --> 00:03:04.739 blood flow in human tissue a real person's tissue will change color 00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:09.599 microscopically as blood travels through all those tubes in their face the old 00:03:06.900 --> 00:03:14.519 blood tubes they call them back in the old country and deep fakes are currently 00:03:12.420 --> 00:03:18.599 unable to replicate this phenomenon so let's hope nobody unsavory figures out 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:25.260 how to do that anytime soon namely the bloodless people Elon Musk 00:03:21.420 --> 00:03:27.239 AKA mussy Baka that's right we're still 00:03:25.260 --> 00:03:31.680 not free of this torment and so neither are you it seems Twitter lost its 00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:36.300 payroll department and hundreds of other employees after musk gave workers an 00:03:33.959 --> 00:03:42.000 ultimatum on Wednesday work long hours at high intensity or leave with three 00:03:39.180 --> 00:03:45.959 month Severance for some reason a lot of people in the finance department took 00:03:43.799 --> 00:03:49.620 the severance and left to presumably work at a less extremely hardcore 00:03:47.819 --> 00:03:53.459 company and it wasn't just them one report claims that less than 50 percent 00:03:51.480 --> 00:04:00.239 of Twitter's employees decided to stick around for musk Chan's Twitter 2.0 00:03:57.500 --> 00:04:04.019 that's the name of the anime yesterday Twitter let employees know that all 00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:07.620 Office Buildings would be temporarily closed and badge access would be 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:11.760 suspended effective immediately apparently this was done to prevent 00:04:09.540 --> 00:04:16.320 Sabotage by employees but also they're still figuring out which workers they 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:19.739 need to cut access for man he can't trust the people he's fired but he also 00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:23.880 can't trust the people that are sticking around the badge manager was even fired 00:04:21.900 --> 00:04:27.540 and had to be asked to come back can you believe that you shouldn't because it 00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:31.139 was actually a joke but that didn't stop Elon from thanking him on Twitter 00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:35.580 instead of getting at him for impersonation I thought he was I was all 00:04:33.479 --> 00:04:39.360 about that right now but okay uh later that night everyone thought Twitter was 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:44.639 going to die and started saying goodbye for the second time in a month but this 00:04:41.580 --> 00:04:46.320 time Elon got in on the memes too of 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:51.540 course the next morning he asked his followers what should Twitter do next 00:04:48.440 --> 00:04:52.860 accomplished that what next now it's 00:04:51.540 --> 00:04:56.759 time for quick Biz brought to you by manscaped Christmas is right around the 00:04:55.020 --> 00:05:00.840 corner and their new performance package 4.0 will make a great gift to your

you believe in yourself you can do it Pokemon scarlet 00:05:31.320 --> 00:05:35.960 and violet launched today directly into the ground 00:05:36.060 --> 00:05:42.780 while the game has extravagant ideas the execution leaves something to be desired 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:47.520 sometimes the camera doesn't follow you sometimes you have to battle a wall it 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:51.720 happens sometimes you fall into a void and sometimes it's your Pokemon but you 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:56.400 get a Pokemon that functions as a motorcycle so 00:05:53.280 --> 00:05:59.000 10 out of 10 IGN T Swizzle who you may 00:05:56.400 --> 00:06:02.759 know by her stage name of Taylor Swift caused a bit of a Ruckus when she 00:06:01.020 --> 00:06:07.860 announced her first tour in five years and the pre-sale crashed Ticketmaster 00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:11.580 then Ticketmaster announced that due to the massive demand during the pre-sale 00:06:09.539 --> 00:06:16.139 the general sale would be canceled there's one rule Ticketmaster don't 00:06:14.100 --> 00:06:19.680 with swifties Ticketmaster more like ticket student in the aftermath 00:06:18.060 --> 00:06:24.000 Ticketmaster actually posted then deleted a blog post explaining what 00:06:21.900 --> 00:06:27.600 happened so if subreddit seems to think they didn't like being criticized by 00:06:25.380 --> 00:06:32.460 swifties in the comments I guess they didn't think they could be overwhelmed 00:06:28.860 --> 00:06:35.220 with demanding Swift fans two times meat 00:06:32.460 --> 00:06:39.060 doesn't have to be murder anymore the United States Food and Drug 00:06:36.780 --> 00:06:43.860 Administration has approved lab-grown chicken for human consumption the 00:06:41.580 --> 00:06:48.240 product is made in steel tanks by the company upside Foods you know lab-grown 00:06:47.100 --> 00:06:50.360 chicken is what they called me in high school 00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:56.220 I assume upside Foods decided to make chicken because it would be easiest 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:59.280 since it tastes like everything the FDA stated that they had no further 00:06:57.960 --> 00:07:03.300 questions which means they're either confident in their decision or they're 00:07:01.620 --> 00:07:07.740 scared they'll sound stupid if they ask like I was in university and I failed a 00:07:05.940 --> 00:07:11.940 test so let's hope it's not that multiple small businesses have been 00:07:09.780 --> 00:07:16.680 hacked on Facebook and Instagram and are getting charged hundreds of dollars on 00:07:14.039 --> 00:07:21.960 PayPal apparently each I should say each it's not hundreds of dollars each yeah 00:07:19.740 --> 00:07:26.460 apparently hackers gained access to their meta accounts add their own 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:31.500 accounts to the victim's ad accounts before removing the original account 00:07:28.259 --> 00:07:33.539 owner then they get the victim banned by 00:07:31.500 --> 00:07:36.840 posting inappropriate content so that they can't access their accounts and 00:07:34.979 --> 00:07:40.740 alert meta that they've been hacked who came up with this the hackers are then 00:07:38.699 --> 00:07:44.520 free to buy ads with someone else's money how do they get access to the 00:07:42.599 --> 00:07:48.060 account in the first place well they might have bribed and employed since 00:07:46.139 --> 00:07:53.340 more than 12 have just been fired for selling users information wait that it's 00:07:50.699 --> 00:07:56.340 my job said Mark Zuckerberg probably he was jealous because they had because 00:07:54.599 --> 00:08:00.660 they fired people do you remember would you go watch the video and researchers 00:07:58.380 --> 00:08:08.039 have detected an unusual black hole merger the merger named G w190521 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:12.840 what does it mean for good reason didn't fit the typical model of two black holes 00:08:10.259 --> 00:08:16.740 orbiting each other then colliding in fact it was determined that they weren't 00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:21.780 spinning at all but flew at each other through space before crossing paths and 00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:27.539 then eating each other in the universe's most terrifying yandere meat cute ever 00:08:24.960 --> 00:08:31.319 discovered by science that's how I would describe it too and you'll be able to 00:08:29.460 --> 00:08:37.880 discover more Tech news if you come back next week don't worry though I don't 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.880 bite unless provoked yum yum
