1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,640
okay and oh oh no shoot

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:10,160
we were gonna surprise you but you got here early

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:15,200
all right put it all away we'll get you next time laptops laptops

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:20,480
laptops there's new laptops with new specs and a new attitude because Intel

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,279
just launched their h-series variants of their 11th gen tiger lake mobile

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:30,640
processors along with some bold claims like that one of their mid-tier core i5s

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:34,559
beats one of AMD's top-tier ryzen nines in

8
00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:37,040
sorry what is that far cry new dawn and

9
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:43,040
grid 2019. okay and rainbow six siege and a total

10
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:47,440
war game okay all right Intel are you sure that has nothing to do with that

11
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:53,199
the laptop that you were testing also had one of the new rtx 3050 and 3050 ti

12
00:00:50,559 --> 00:00:57,520
mobile gpus which also just launched in laptops from various manufacturers i

13
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:01,760
don't know maybe you should double check if these new fancy new laptop cpus still

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,400
aren't your cup of tea though a fresh leak points to november as the launch

15
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:10,240
window for Intel's 12th gen alder lake s cpus should we review one of those

16
00:01:08,479 --> 00:01:16,159
laptops on TechLinked wait we don't do that here circuit ah yes believe it or

17
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:18,400
not htc is still making new vr headsets

18
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:24,080
the company just announced the vive pro 2 and the vive focus 3 with the first

19
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:30,240
one being obviously an upgrade to the vive pro one and a half no no the five

20
00:01:27,119 --> 00:01:31,320
pro uh it's got a new 5k screen and it

21
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:39,759
runs at 120 hertz but the 13.99 full kit still

22
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:43,280
comes with the original vive wands which

23
00:01:39,759 --> 00:01:45,360
nostalgia yeah as for the vive focus 3

24
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:51,200
it's pretty interesting it's powered by the same snapdragon xr2 chip as the

25
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,280
oculus quest 2 but with a wider 120

26
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:57,439
degree field of view higher resolution 5k display

27
00:01:54,399 --> 00:01:59,759
and a 90 hertz refresh rate by default

28
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:04,880
but then both of these headsets are geared more towards business users with

29
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:10,560
the vive focus 3 actually locked out of running any consumer facing software

30
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:12,879
because htc doesn't want any concern for

31
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:16,640
our business customers that their users would access consumer content you might

32
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:22,560
go on tick-tock okay so you can put on this headset and

33
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:26,720
embody a virtual character in tron world but you can't have fun with it

34
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:30,959
if you look like you're having fun then we're going to turn it off

35
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:38,400
so i mean if you're really trying to get into vr without a facebook account though word is that sony's upgraded psvr

36
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:41,519
headset is also going to be sick and it's the opposite no business allowed at

37
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:46,959
all just gaming they're very strict

38
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:51,760
speaking of being strict germany has issued a three-month emergency ban

39
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:56,480
on facebook collecting data from whatsapp users the move comes in the

40
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:01,920
lead up to may 15th the day that facebook says that whatsapp users must

41
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:06,000
must agree to the chat app's new terms of service or have the app's

42
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:09,120
functionality slowly fade away like half of humanity after the

43
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:13,120
snap the german regulator responsible for the

44
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:18,640
ban says that the new whatsapp terms are overly broad and unclear

45
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:22,159
and it is vital to stop potential misuse of the data from interfering with

46
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:26,159
germany's upcoming elections facebook says that the ban is

47
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,920
based on a misunderstanding and that they are still going to roll out the

48
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:33,680
rule so um good luck to anyone who's trying to message each other using the

49
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:36,720
many many other messaging services that are available wait no they can just do

50
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,879
that yeah there's lots more yeah they could their signal now it's time for the

51
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:44,640

60
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:21,519
below now time for butt quacks i mean where would they be other than a tech

61
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:25,520
links video ShortCircuit xiaomi is no longer blacklisted by the us government

62
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:29,759
after the two parties agreed to resolve their ongoing litigation although a

63
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:33,919
white house spokesperson did say that the biden administration is still

64
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:38,240
deeply concerned about potential u.s investments in companies linked to the

65
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:41,360
chinese military so seems like everything will be cool as long as

66
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:45,759
xiaomi doesn't announce like a tank or something

67
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:50,960
yeah with two screens samsung is reportedly gearing up to launch their

68
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:54,400
ARM-based exynos CPU coupled with an AMD

69
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:56,000
Radeon GPU and apparently it will not be

70
00:04:54,400 --> 00:05:00,320
in a phone as some people like me expected and hoped but rather in a

71
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:04,000
laptop in the second half of this year this is wild i mean NVIDIA is working on

72
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:08,080
putting one of their gpus in an ARM-powered laptop with a mediatek CPU

73
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:14,160
and then we got samsung working on this 2021 might just be the year that we get

74
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:18,479
ARM laptops that are worth buying that aren't made by apple

75
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:22,720
wow i don't know darkseid the hacking group behind the colonial pipeline

76
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:27,120
ransomware attack has published a statement on its dark website saying

77
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:31,520
that they are apolitical and that by hacking colonial they were only trying

78
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,600
to make money not create problems for society

79
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:38,560
oh sorry guys we misunderstood

80
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:42,400
we thought you were trying to like cause major disruptions by making everyone

81
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:46,560
think there's going to be a gas shortage causing people to load up their trucks

82
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:50,000
with all the gas they can carry which in turn causes an actual gas shortage

83
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:55,520
but oh you were just you were just trying to make a bug

84
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,880
no no worries then

85
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:02,479
researchers at the howard hughes medical institute demonstrated the amazing

86
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:08,000
potential of neural implants this week when a paralyzed man managed to type

87
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:10,479
about 90 characters a minute by

88
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,319
imagining that he was writing them by hand are you kidding me

89
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,400
wow participants can achieve around 25

90
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:22,080
characters a minute with existing brain computer interfaces which involve

91
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:26,560
selecting letters on a virtual keyboard with a mind controlled cursor so this is

92
00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:31,039
this is a significant improvement like hooray science

93
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:35,520
okay just read my mind right like what am i thinking uh money money money money

94
00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:39,680
NVIDIA video money and bungie is letting

95
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:43,440
another destiny 2 glitch slide so that players can have some fun with it the

96
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:47,520
developer accidentally enabled cross play between pc and console yesterday

97
00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:51,840
but we'll wait until later this week to disable it as it won't be fully ready

98
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,800
for prime time until later this year see this is what we need more of in the

99
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:58,240
world why are so many people hacking pipelines instead of hacking

100
00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:03,280
cross-platform multiplayer i just like doing it and i just like doing the end

101
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:07,039
of this episode um otherwise people might get sick of the tech news so take

joke ever again

105
