tech news arrives here my soul receives
it gladly i pass it onwards james that
was a haiku i know we're not expecting to see
Intel's new coconut lake we're not expecting to see Intel's new
comet lake s processors until april but we do have some more leaked information
to share it looks like the top end 10 core 10 900k will feature a boost clock
of 5.3 gigahertz on a single core using
a scheme called thermal velocity boost
which will activate the higher boost clocks when the CPU is at fewer than 50
degrees celsius there are also a slew of cheaper processors all of which feature
hyper threading but it should be noted that all three of the unlocked models
have tdps of 125 watts so if you want a
comet lake chip in your next build make sure your cooler is up to the challenge
make sure it's super cool like me
we're also expecting native wi-fi 6 support which we didn't see with the 9th
gen no word on pricing yet but hopefully it won't be
stratospheric because comets i guess yeah
well they're not comets aren't in the atmosphere at all they're more like
ionosphere how about astronomic astronomical you should have written
they're not in the ionosphere they're not in the atmosphere atmosphere you're talking about mirror
cable providers aren't exactly the most popular companies but the us congress
thinks it might even devise a way to reel them in a little bit with the recently passed television viewer
protection act of 2019. that's that's so 2019 which has just
been signed into law the new scheme will force cable companies to tell you the
entire package cost before you sign up including fees and you can also not be
charged for equipment that you don't actually use and if you have buyer's
remorse you now have 24 hours from purchase to get a full refund without
any kind of penalty that's not that many hours but i'll take it it's definitely
good news for those of you that use cable like
boomers but unfortunately it still doesn't prevent providers from charging
you out the wazoo for eight channels of mtv but that's on you because why do you
have cable yeah the internet exists if you've got a
bleeding edge smartphone you might notice that you're now getting a little
5g icon on your screen if you live in certain cities in the u.s at t has
rolled out 5g service in new york and the city not the whole state washington
dc baltimore las vegas which is the best vegas detroit and philadelphia meaning
that there are now a total of 25 cities that support the new standard what other
vegas is there i don't know la vegas el vegas las vegas
however this launch is primarily for a tnt's low band standard 5g offering not
the millimeter wave version that's expected to bring the fastest speeds but
millimeter wave which att is calling 5g plus will be available in pockets of
baltimore and detroit so while it's not super widespread at
lunch it is going to cover plenty of major cities man i'm glad att has made
labeling 5g so clear-cut and not confusing at all there's 5ge which is
really 4g regular 5g which is obviously like fancy or 4g and 5g plus which of
course is the best uh it's what 5g is supposed to be

sony has filed a patent for a noticeably different playstation controller design
there's no ps button and there's also
two more buttons on the back that look like they can be programmed by the user
although there's speculation that this design might be for the upcoming
playstation 5 we may also not see it at
all because it's just a patent right now so who cares but it's a good tease so i
like to share that kind of stuff with you you know come on that's for you drone users may
have more red tape to deal with in the near future if you didn't think that was
impossible the faa has proposed new regulations that call for all drones to
be capable of being tracked at all times
the idea is to make it easier to track a troublemaking drone back to a specific
person which could come in handy if you have a
jealous ex that wants to interfere with your drone-based pizza delivery that
happens to me all the time every week you ever take your drone and
have a stereo on top of it and just go outside to your girlfriend's house
with the name burned into the lawn
