WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:09.200
as everybody knows the human body needs just three things to survive clean water

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:10.639
chicken tendees and fresh tech news

00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:15.040
we can only give you one of those things here so uh drink up special child

00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:22.720
NVIDIA you are you are so sneaky you thought we

00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:28.080
wouldn't notice that you're reducing the cryptocurrency mining efficiency of the

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:30.880
rtx 3060 and announcing a new product

00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:35.920
line of GPU's dedicated specifically to mining but we did notice

00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:43.280
cnvidia your big mistake was publishing a blog post announcing those two things

00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:46.000
big oof these new cmps or cryptocurrency

00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:50.800
mining processors don't support graphics output and are essentially meant to be a

00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:56.160
piece of bait dangled out in front so the crypto miners bite at it while

00:00:53.280 --> 00:01:02.160
sparing the tender young gaming gpus for the rest of us but the miners won't want

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:06.799
those gaming ones anyway because of that mining efficiency limiter that is

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:12.000
apparently so robust that NVIDIA claims it cannot be hacked

00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:17.520
you see it's a secure handshake between the driver the silicon and the BIOS and

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:22.640
walls like those have frankly speaking never been breached

00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:26.960
so we've got miners upset that NVIDIA is dictating what you can or can't do with

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:30.560
your own hardware we've got gamers upset that this probably won't do anything to

00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:34.799
help the GPU stock shortage and we've got jensen who's upset because he's all

00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:38.159
like sitting on his motorbike with his leather jacket like flipping his shades

00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:43.200
like you're welcome whoa he's so cool

00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:48.320
and you'll never believe this but chrome os has overtaken macOS as the second

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:53.600
most used operating system in the pc space after Windows despite being worse

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:58.240
than well both of the other ones this news comes from mike shire an analyst

00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:02.719
for the market research firm idc who confirmed the findings to geek wire

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:08.239
while chrome os devices have outsold macs in single quarters before 2020 is

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:12.640
the first full year where chromebooks consistently took second place

00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:18.319
interestingly while you could see this as a loss for apple it's actually a

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:20.959
bigger blow for microsoft in 2020 market

00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:28.160
share for chrome os grew from 6.4 to 10.8 percent with macOS actually also

00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:30.319
growing slightly from 6.7 to 7.5

00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:35.440
Windows meanwhile dropped from 85.4 to 80.5 so looks like google's strategy of

00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:39.760
brainwashing students with free access to chromebooks is working i wish i had

00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:45.840
thought of it Linus os we could call it Linux

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:50.959
and canada may join australia and facing off against facebook canadian heritage

00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:54.800
minister stephen gilbeau told reporters that he is working on legislation that

00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:59.200
would require giant platforms like google and facebook to pay news

00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:03.040
publishers to link to their content now because of the wait because why those

00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:06.720
laws are apparently a heritage thing yeah totally now we canadians don't

00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:11.200
traditionally insert ourselves into conflicts unless someone insults the

00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:17.599
village moose but gilbeau said that canada is at the forefront of this

00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:19.920
battle uh right behind australia that is

00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:23.760
where facebook has uh already blocked all news posts in an attempt to deter

00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:29.040
the country from passing their link tax legislation for that matter france is

00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:32.640
deeply embroiled in this too right hold the door facebook's move has

00:03:30.959 --> 00:03:36.879
been heavily criticized for being unreasonably heavy-handed the newsband

00:03:34.959 --> 00:03:41.920
ended up also blocking some government health pages for example which users

00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.480
depend on for information about covid19

00:03:41.920 --> 00:03:47.200
great and now we've signed up for this i mean the prospect of using bing was

00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:53.360
funny when we were talking about australia where their internet barely works anyway but

00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.360
now it's it's not

00:03:53.760 --> 00:04:00.239
now riley's got something to tell you guys now it's time for quick bits brought to you by pdf element the

00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:05.519
affordable app that stops you from smashing a hole in your desk because signing pdfs is so frustratingly

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:10.239
difficult you see pdf element makes it super simple to sign edit annotate and

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:15.360
make notes on any pdf you can also combine crop and easily compress big

00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:20.320
pdfs to a smaller size or if you just hate pdfs period you can convert them

00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:24.240
into word excel or jpeg files pdf element is available on Windows mac

00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:28.479
iphone and ipad and supports google drive and dropbox so you don't even have

00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:33.440
to keep those nasty files on your local device wow plus you can get 50 off by

00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:38.080
using our link so check it out down below split splats it's what you call quick

00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:42.000
bits when you don't want to say quack bots wait oh damn it i said it well it

00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:45.919
doesn't matter apple has subpoenaed valve with a request for years of data

00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:50.560
pertaining to steam's game library and sales numbers in an attempt to show that

00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:54.639
there is plenty of competition in the market and therefore epic games

00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:58.800
anti-trust claims against apple are totally invalid and apple almost got

00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:04.240
away with it too if it weren't for valve being not complete idiots and outright

00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:09.199
refusing to give them any of that data mostly because valve doesn't even

00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:13.680
compete in the mobile app market which is the focus of epic and apple's fight

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:17.680
and by the way just to be clear this has nothing to do with valve and epic and

00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:21.520
some kind of secret pc gamer alliance i'm not convinced there's any love lost

00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:26.560
between those two it's just that apple's request was overreaching at best

00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:34.240
french hardware site cow kotlin claims to have inside information that AMD will

00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:39.360
launch the Radeon rx 6700xt on march 18th the card is supposed to

00:05:36.479 --> 00:05:43.520
have 12 gigabytes of memory 40 ray accelerators and be available in

00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:48.479
limited quantities oh AMD you know you should really talk

00:05:45.919 --> 00:05:53.360
to NVIDIA about throwing an unhackable crypto limiter on there i heard i heard

00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:58.240
they're unhackable and there's some more leaks chinese

00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:02.800
language site hke pc claims that they know that Intel's 11th gen rocket lake

00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:08.000
desktop processors will launch on march 15th and that it'll be a hardware launch

00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:12.400
that's the kind with availability in store it won't be bad i think it'll be

00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:16.720
fine yeah it's 14 nanometers so like lots of that going around

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:20.639
hey got em LTT Store processor pillows go buy them i went off script so that

00:06:18.400 --> 00:06:24.800
didn't really work nasa successfully landed the perseverance rover on mars

00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:29.360
yesterday with a rocket-powered platform that looks more than a little like green

00:06:26.880 --> 00:06:32.960
goblin's glider from spider-man cool but you know what's even cooler than

00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:36.800
spider-man pictures of the martian surface and you know what's better than

00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:40.960
that this thing which is the latest entry in the

00:06:38.880 --> 00:06:45.680
category of fabric-covered robots designed to remind you of a cat except

00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:49.039
this one called the nicobo doesn't just make purring sounds and wag its tail it

00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:53.840
also farts whenever it wants it just it just lets

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:56.800
them rip i mean what you think there's like an app where you can control how

00:06:55.520 --> 00:07:02.080
often it farts you fool it's a cat analog it does is it

00:06:59.599 --> 00:07:09.039
pleases it's descended from the noble hunters of the plane its fart impulses

00:07:04.400 --> 00:07:10.880
cannot be contained it is 360 dollars

00:07:09.039 --> 00:07:15.039
why don't you just get a cat they are like no work at all unlike this show

00:07:13.520 --> 00:07:21.120
which is a lot of work which is why we won't have another one for you until monday but i promise there will be more

00:07:18.400 --> 00:07:23.360
stories about farts less

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.520
there will be more
