1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,840
you know when you go outside on a moonless night and you look up at the

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,760
stars i don't know why people do that there's

3
00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:14,639
no tech news up there it's it's boring AMD is set to officially announce its

4
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:18,160
zen 4 processors today but prices have been leaked ahead of the event and

5
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:23,119
contrary to previous rumors it looks like AMD has decided not to increase

6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:27,039
prices like they did with the zen 3 launch that was a rare time when i was

7
00:00:25,039 --> 00:00:31,119
upset with dr lisa sue she's taken such good care of me

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:35,200
otherwise hey riley here after the AMD event actually happened i was about to

9
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:44,399
lie to you our script was incorrect uh turns out the 7950x is 6.99 the 7700x is

10
00:00:40,559 --> 00:00:47,360
399 and the 7600x is

11
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:50,480
299 okay so there actually was a price cut

12
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:54,000
that's nice sure this is disappointing for those who are wanting a price cut

13
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:58,640
but it's still welcome news during this time of aggressive inflation and not the

14
00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:03,440
weird internet kind yeah see that wasn't right there was a price cut there was

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:07,280
the price went down a little bit okay of course this is a leak so take it with

16
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:11,200
a grain of salt but either way we'll have an official announcement from team

17
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:17,520
red soon enough i happen to know Anthony young is at the event right now probably

18
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,520
partying with all the new chips

19
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:23,680
until NVIDIA reveals some details about their upcoming 4000 series gpus in

20
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:27,759
september we'll have to tide ourselves over with news from a leaker who claims

21
00:01:25,759 --> 00:01:33,680
to have benchmark results for the rtx 4060 and 4060 ti which are mid-tier

22
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:38,159
cards just like this joke unfortunately these aren't actual game benchmarks

23
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:43,759
rather the tests were done in time spy extreme with the 4060 ti scoring around

24
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:46,560
8 600 points and the 4060 getting about

25
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:51,280
6 000 power draw was at 280 watts for the ti card with the non-ti version

26
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:55,600
coming in at 240 watts if these vague numbers don't mean much to you they

27
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:59,360
represent about a 50 in performance boost over the current gen hopefully we

28
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:03,600
won't be paying a premium for the privilege though i don't know why john

29
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:07,360
wrote that we will and did you happen to see an incredible deal on an SSD from

30
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,760
walmart over the last few days a third-party seller on the walmart

31
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:18,000
website was selling an external SSD that purportedly held a whopping 30 terabytes

32
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:20,400
for just 39 bucks and of course

33
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:26,239
it was a gigantic scam it turns out that the 30 terabyte SSD actually consisted

34
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:30,800
of a couple of low capacity sd cards hot glued to a controller board or what my

35
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:35,040
weird serbian uncle calls the uncle zoran special

36
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:38,800
when you plugged it into a computer the drive's hacked firmware would report

37
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:43,120
that it indeed had a 30 terabyte capacity but if you tried to write data

38
00:02:40,959 --> 00:02:47,840
that was larger than the tiny capacity of the sd cards inside the system would

39
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:52,800
just overwrite whatever existing data there was over and over again so when

40
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:56,480
you went back to find your data later it would be gone

41
00:02:54,160 --> 00:03:00,800
see it's not actually a scam it's a lesson don't depend

metta has just agreed to a settlement in the related privacy lawsuit meaning zuck

won't have to testify so don't expect to find out any juicy details other than

56
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:04,560
what's already been reported this is kind of concerning but also does anyone

00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:09,120
want to see this guy try to pretend to not be an alien again no thanks

company plenty of criticism over in the eu although companies like google and

61
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:25,600
meta have been more in the crosshairs of regulators lately the doj is apparently

62

to buy a gas powered car as the state has recently passed a ban on the sales

65
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:43,919
of gas cars in the state starting that year while it seems like an aggressive

66
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:48,240
target many large automakers have already set the 2030s as a timetable for

67
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:52,240
transitioning towards an all-electric manufacturing although california isn't

68
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:56,400
the first state to pass such a law it's always big news when a jurisdiction that

69
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:59,840
has more people in it than all of canada decides they're done with gasoline

70
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:04,160

we finally have word on pricing for netflix's new ad-supported tier between

72
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,960
seven and nine dollars a month

73
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:16,479
big news for comparison netflix's current hd plan

74
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:20,880
is 1549 a month and netflix plans to sweeten the pot by limiting ads to only

75
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:25,120
four minutes of every hour and not showing them if a customer is watching a

76
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:30,000
netflix original so technically you could avoid ads with this tier if you

77
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:35,199
only want to watch yet another season of too hot to stay single blind lava floor

78

date challenge there's way too many and a google patent has been uncovered

79
00:05:37,039 --> 00:05:44,960
that seemingly describes either a pixel foldable phone or the upcoming pixel

80
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:49,759
tablet featuring a tiny camera embedded in the bezel that the patent describes

81
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:54,080
as an ultra micro hole this camera hole is so small it will

82
00:05:51,919 --> 00:05:58,080
barely let in any light and may not even function at all but if this hole is as

83
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:03,360
little as it sounds many whole aficionados are sure to love this ultra

84
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:07,560
micro hole because of just how teeny tiny this hole is
