WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.640
okay and oh oh no shoot

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:10.160
we were gonna surprise you but you got here early

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:15.200
all right put it all away we'll get you next time laptops laptops

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:20.480
laptops there's new laptops with new specs and a new attitude because Intel

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:25.279
just launched their h-series variants of their 11th gen tiger lake mobile

00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:30.640
processors along with some bold claims like that one of their mid-tier core i5s

00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:34.559
beats one of AMD's top-tier ryzen nines in

00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:37.040
sorry what is that far cry new dawn and

00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:43.040
grid 2019. okay and rainbow six siege and a total

00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:47.440
war game okay all right Intel are you sure that has nothing to do with that

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

00:00:50.559 --> 00:00:57.520
mobile gpus which also just launched in laptops from various manufacturers i

00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:01.760
don't know maybe you should double check if these new fancy new laptop cpus still

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:06.400
aren't your cup of tea though a fresh leak points to november as the launch

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:10.240
window for Intel's 12th gen alder lake s cpus should we review one of those

00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:16.159
laptops on TechLinked wait we don't do that here circuit ah yes believe it or

00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:18.400
not htc is still making new vr headsets

00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:24.080
the company just announced the vive pro 2 and the vive focus 3 with the first

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

00:01:27.119 --> 00:01:31.320
pro uh it's got a new 5k screen and it

00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:39.759
runs at 120 hertz but the 13.99 full kit still

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:43.280
comes with the original vive wands which

00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:45.360
nostalgia yeah as for the vive focus 3

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:51.200
it's pretty interesting it's powered by the same snapdragon xr2 chip as the

00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:53.280
oculus quest 2 but with a wider 120

00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:57.439
degree field of view higher resolution 5k display

00:01:54.399 --> 00:01:59.759
and a 90 hertz refresh rate by default

00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:04.880
but then both of these headsets are geared more towards business users with

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:10.560
the vive focus 3 actually locked out of running any consumer facing software

00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:12.879
because htc doesn't want any concern for

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:16.640
our business customers that their users would access consumer content you might

00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:22.560
go on tick-tock okay so you can put on this headset and

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:26.720
embody a virtual character in tron world but you can't have fun with it

00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:30.959
if you look like you're having fun then we're going to turn it off

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

00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:41.519
headset is also going to be sick and it's the opposite no business allowed at

00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:46.959
all just gaming they're very strict

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:51.760
speaking of being strict germany has issued a three-month emergency ban

00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:56.480
on facebook collecting data from whatsapp users the move comes in the

00:02:54.000 --> 00:03:01.920
lead up to may 15th the day that facebook says that whatsapp users must

00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:06.000
must agree to the chat app's new terms of service or have the app's

00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:09.120
functionality slowly fade away like half of humanity after the

00:03:07.760 --> 00:03:13.120
snap the german regulator responsible for the

00:03:10.959 --> 00:03:18.640
ban says that the new whatsapp terms are overly broad and unclear

00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:22.159
and it is vital to stop potential misuse of the data from interfering with

00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:26.159
germany's upcoming elections facebook says that the ban is

00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:29.920
based on a misunderstanding and that they are still going to roll out the

00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:33.680
rule so um good luck to anyone who's trying to message each other using the

00:03:31.920 --> 00:03:36.720
many many other messaging services that are available wait no they can just do

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

00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:44.640
butt quakes brought to you by the Corsair virtuoso RGB wireless xt

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:48.239

00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:21.519
below now time for butt quacks i mean where would they be other than a tech

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:25.520
links video ShortCircuit xiaomi is no longer blacklisted by the us government

00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:29.759
after the two parties agreed to resolve their ongoing litigation although a

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:33.919
white house spokesperson did say that the biden administration is still

00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:38.240
deeply concerned about potential u.s investments in companies linked to the

00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:41.360
chinese military so seems like everything will be cool as long as

00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:45.759
xiaomi doesn't announce like a tank or something

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:50.960
yeah with two screens samsung is reportedly gearing up to launch their

00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:54.400
ARM-based exynos CPU coupled with an AMD

00:04:50.960 --> 00:04:56.000
Radeon GPU and apparently it will not be

00:04:54.400 --> 00:05:00.320
in a phone as some people like me expected and hoped but rather in a

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

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:08.080
putting one of their gpus in an ARM-powered laptop with a mediatek CPU

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

00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:18.479
ARM laptops that are worth buying that aren't made by apple

00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:22.720
wow i don't know darkseid the hacking group behind the colonial pipeline

00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:27.120
ransomware attack has published a statement on its dark website saying

00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:31.520
that they are apolitical and that by hacking colonial they were only trying

00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:33.600
to make money not create problems for society

00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:38.560
oh sorry guys we misunderstood

00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:42.400
we thought you were trying to like cause major disruptions by making everyone

00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:46.560
think there's going to be a gas shortage causing people to load up their trucks

00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:50.000
with all the gas they can carry which in turn causes an actual gas shortage

00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:55.520
but oh you were just you were just trying to make a bug

00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.880
no no worries then

00:05:56.880 --> 00:06:02.479
researchers at the howard hughes medical institute demonstrated the amazing

00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:08.000
potential of neural implants this week when a paralyzed man managed to type

00:06:04.880 --> 00:06:10.479
about 90 characters a minute by

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:14.319
imagining that he was writing them by hand are you kidding me

00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:18.400
wow participants can achieve around 25

00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:22.080
characters a minute with existing brain computer interfaces which involve

00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:26.560
selecting letters on a virtual keyboard with a mind controlled cursor so this is

00:06:24.479 --> 00:06:31.039
this is a significant improvement like hooray science

00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:35.520
okay just read my mind right like what am i thinking uh money money money money

00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:39.680
NVIDIA video money and bungie is letting

00:06:37.520 --> 00:06:43.440
another destiny 2 glitch slide so that players can have some fun with it the

00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:47.520
developer accidentally enabled cross play between pc and console yesterday

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

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

00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:58.240
world why are so many people hacking pipelines instead of hacking

00:06:56.319 --> 00:07:03.280
cross-platform multiplayer i just like doing it and i just like doing the end

00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:07.039
of this episode um otherwise people might get sick of the tech news so take

00:07:05.039 --> 00:07:10.880
a break come back on friday and by that time we'll be all set up with your

00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:16.680
surprise yeah hopefully yeah or will surprise you by never referencing this

00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.680
