new year yeah let's just pretend that last one didn't happen that cool yeah
okay that sounds good yeah oh we can't taxes the consumer
electronics show starts next week and even though most of the showing will be
once again happening online this year some companies just can't wait to
participate in the annual shameless frenzy of self-promotion
that's apparently how Intel's ryan shroud felt about a demo he posted on
twitter showing an alder like system allowing a samsung pci express gen 5 SSD
to reach transfer speeds of over 13
gigabytes per second 15 gigawatts 13.
okay yes for context so that's around double the
speed that you'd expect to see from many high-end gen 4 drives
so i mean that kind of makes sense because pci express gen 5 is double the
speed of gen 4 but like the drive we didn't think the drives should get
this fast as quickly yeah but yeah obviously that's how math works
now the drive a samsung pm1743 is an
enterprise-grade model that isn't even out yet so i wouldn't get too excited
about achieving performance like this on just any system
but it's really cool to see this nonetheless even in these dark times we
can still make pc go burr
and we shall forever more the dark times
may be seeing a glimmer of light though because it looks like ASUS is working on
a converter card that could allow you to run ddr4
in a motherboard that otherwise only supports ddr5 memory
a solution like this would hopefully have a positive impact on the industry's
supply of ddr5 which is experience shortages along with
everything else in the world right now literally
except sas sas is flowing abundantly
lots of sass a youtube video posted by someone named
bing believed to not be a microsoft employee but an ASUS employee goes
through how the card works and shows a demo system which we may see more of at
ces i just hope bing doesn't get in trouble for leaking this thing because
we love it not bing of course well okay that being
we do love but not the other being you know the the
you gotta pick your banks yeah thanks for sean's the thing bing
and if you needed more evidence that planet earth is in dire straits google's
position at the top of the most popular web domain charts
was usurped this week
not by another search engine by tick tock oh god
leading to the inescapable conclusion that more people are searching tiktok
for answers to their questions instead of typing it in a browser's search bar
and you know i get it google is big bad tech
giant you know destroying privacy etc
but i'd guess that it's more likely to get
you somewhat accurate information than e-girls listing facts while dancing to
dualipa although some of them are pretty smart i mean i
don't know how to dance so andy's flossing back there
now tick tock's dominant spot was noted by cloudflare but other website rating
lists don't have the app at the top so maybe there's still some hope for
society i mean it could have been facebook that'd be worse that would be
worse i mean stop it yeah stop it yeah ronnie's over

the fledgling world of nfts continues to go through growing pains with open sea
recently banning two nft collections that ape the infamous board ape yacht club
nfts the two copycats are both called the
funky ape yacht club but they have different twitter handles
and are both selling identical mirrored copies of the originals well arguing
about which one is the original fake copy
what is it it's probably the same person doing this for
you know publicity that's how this stuff
works is real art the hype for
primate drawings that are all slightly tweaked copies of themselves will die
down at some point want it i hope it has to then they'll be cheap so i can buy it
yeah yeah give them to riley hey look at this it's a display that can
taste like the food it displays by spraying a combination of 10 flavored
liquids on a hygienic film that rolls over top of it how is this hygienic
delicious what is it like sprayed with rubbing alcohol and like
wow okay yeah tastes sounds delicious so
if the only thing keeping you from leaving your gaming station was the desire to taste something other than the
cries of your opponents then congrats to you the device is a prototype made by
professor homey miyashita at the meiji university in tokyo because of course
this thing comes from japan they always make good stuff cars

japanese gadget is the shiatsu hand massager for gamers wow what do they
think of next made by a company called

out of gamer hands that have been working hard to prove something to the universe and hopefully keep that kd
ratio up i do that with craft dinner it's like the opposite of the gamja bar
