00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.640
time for the tech news now with five percent less artificial flavorings

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:10.000
historically there hasn't been a whole lot of variety in the motherboard market

00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:13.840
in terms of which manufacturer to buy from but there's some big news as it

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:18.000
looks like one major company is finally gonna start providing boards for fans of

00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:21.279
team red evga has just released a video teaser for its dark series of

00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:26.640
motherboards that don't bother with RGB lighting or other ostentatious bling but

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:30.880
the trailer very obviously put a ryzen logo behind the dark emblem suggesting

00:00:29.119 --> 00:00:36.000
that we'll be seeing evga make AMD compatible boards for the first time in

00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:39.760
a very very long time the move makes sense considering AMD has been

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:44.239
experiencing a surge in popularity ever since 1st gen ryzen and it's never smart

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:48.879
to ignore a huge swath of your potential market just ask the folks at blackberry

00:00:46.559 --> 00:00:52.559
who thought serious professionals wouldn't be interested in the iphone

00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:58.160
wait they were right actually yeah amazon has made plenty of headlines

00:00:56.879 --> 00:01:02.480
recently for the way it treats its workers and now another piece of

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:08.240
embarrassing news has come out as a bloomberg report has revealed that the

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:09.840
tech giant is hiring and firing drivers

00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:14.320
through an algorithm the affected workers are part of amazon's flex

00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:18.400
delivery program a gig based contract employment scheme where people can

00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:22.880
deliver packages on their own time kind of like uber but for amazon orders

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:26.960
while it might make some sense to automate the hr process for these types

00:01:24.479 --> 00:01:30.479
of roles the rub is that many drivers are reportedly being fired for

00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:35.119
on-the-job mishaps that aren't their fault such as flat tire

00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:39.360
closed gates at a delivery location or even faulty amazon lockers as the

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:43.280
algorithm thinks drivers simply aren't making deliveries on time well it's not

00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:46.880
wrong true it's just out of their control terminated drivers reportedly

00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:52.240
have very little recourse as they have to pay 200 bucks just to appeal

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:55.680
and even that isn't a sure thing i mean we already have to deal with terrible

00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.600
human bosses enough not talking about you of course Linus

00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:02.560
you're great you're fantastic thank you he's not human

00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:05.759
he is a robot if anybody knows how to clone lines you let us know despite how

00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:10.560
much technology has advanced over the last few decades we still aren't driving

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:14.080
flying cars everywhere but it looks like we might finally have something close to

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:18.160
a real proof of concept as an honest-to-goodness flying car has

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:24.239
completed a test flight between two cities in slovakia dubbed the air car

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:28.239
the front half of the prototype looks a lot like a standard car with the rest of

00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:31.680
the body featuring wings and an empanadage

00:02:29.760 --> 00:02:35.360
and what does that even mean who wrote this

00:02:33.440 --> 00:02:41.680
it runs on regular gasoline it can fly about 600 miles or a thousand kilometers

00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:44.160
at an altitude of 8 200 feet or 2 500

00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:50.400
meters according to its inventor during the flight the air car got up to speeds

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:52.080
of about 105 mph or 170 kph so while

00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:57.040
it's not as fast as taking a commercial aircraft it's a heck of a lot faster

00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:00.560
than sitting in rush hour in bratislava we've all been there you know

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:04.800
of course with how bad the drivers are here in vancouver i really wonder about

00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:08.800
the wisdom of giving them all a pair of wings

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:13.840
please please for the love of all that's good today's quick bits are brought to

00:03:10.640 --> 00:03:15.920

gaming on to the quick bits you know how microsoft is only including 8th gen

00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:47.680
Intel and zen 2 and newer cpus on his compatibility list for Windows 11. well

00:03:45.760 --> 00:03:52.640
microsoft has come out today and said you won't need any specific CPU to run

00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:57.280
the preview build for Windows insiders and they may end up backtracking and

00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:01.680
allowing more cpus to run win11 in the future they love us what were we just

00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:04.400
saying about ignoring a huge swath of your potential market don't do it don't

00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:10.720
do it bad lg is rolling out firmware updates for

00:04:06.959 --> 00:04:12.640
its 2021 oleds to support 4k 120 hertz

00:04:10.720 --> 00:04:16.799
with dolby vision boom got him the update is aimed at xbox

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:22.000
series x owners whose consoles have the ability to output dolby vision at 4k 120

00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:26.400
though there aren't any supported games out for the platform yet

00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:30.960
lg is also looking at updating its 2020 OLED sets and qnet displays should also

00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:36.160
be getting the update hopefully compatible games will follow soon before

00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:40.560
lg releases another alphabet soup tv lineup it's a joke

00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:44.880
hey that's a little dig at lg xbox cloud streaming is now available

00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:49.280
not only via web browser to everyone but also on all compatible iOS devices

00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:53.759
previously desktop users had to download an app so this will make getting onto

00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:58.400
the service a little easier plus xbox is now caught up to google stadia in terms

00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:03.440
of availability on apple devices i guess google's only real advantage in

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.520
streaming is now gone bye-bye see ya and

00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:08.720
if you're flying on united anytime soon the airline just announced that

00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:13.520
bluetooth audio will be available on some of their planes starting in 2025

00:05:11.919 --> 00:05:17.840
removing the necessity of getting tangled with a cable in a cramped

00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:23.960
airplane seat or even worse having to use the complimentary headphones that

00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:23.960
sound like charlie brown's teacher

00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:30.000
i have to wonder why it's taking that long to add such a simple feature

00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:36.160
but i guess you can always entertain yourself in the meantime by doing the crossover puzzle and the in-flight

00:05:33.440 --> 00:05:39.520
magazine that someone's already probably filled out i put on the face mask that's

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:45.440
