00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.840
you know when you go outside on a moonless night and you look up at the

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:09.760
stars i don't know why people do that there's

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

00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:18.160
zen 4 processors today but prices have been leaked ahead of the event and

00:00:16.240 --> 00:00:23.119
contrary to previous rumors it looks like AMD has decided not to increase

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

00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:31.119
upset with dr lisa sue she's taken such good care of me

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:35.200
otherwise hey riley here after the AMD event actually happened i was about to

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

00:00:40.559 --> 00:00:47.360
399 and the 7600x is

00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:50.480
299 okay so there actually was a price cut

00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:54.000
that's nice sure this is disappointing for those who are wanting a price cut

00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:58.640
but it's still welcome news during this time of aggressive inflation and not the

00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:03.440
weird internet kind yeah see that wasn't right there was a price cut there was

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

00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:11.200
a grain of salt but either way we'll have an official announcement from team

00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:17.520
red soon enough i happen to know Anthony young is at the event right now probably

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:17.520
partying with all the new chips

00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:23.680
until NVIDIA reveals some details about their upcoming 4000 series gpus in

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:27.759
september we'll have to tide ourselves over with news from a leaker who claims

00:01:25.759 --> 00:01:33.680
to have benchmark results for the rtx 4060 and 4060 ti which are mid-tier

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:38.159
cards just like this joke unfortunately these aren't actual game benchmarks

00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:43.759
rather the tests were done in time spy extreme with the 4060 ti scoring around

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:46.560
8 600 points and the 4060 getting about

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

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:55.600
coming in at 240 watts if these vague numbers don't mean much to you they

00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:59.360
represent about a 50 in performance boost over the current gen hopefully we

00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:03.600
won't be paying a premium for the privilege though i don't know why john

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

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:11.760
walmart over the last few days a third-party seller on the walmart

00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:18.000
website was selling an external SSD that purportedly held a whopping 30 terabytes

00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:20.400
for just 39 bucks and of course

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:26.239
it was a gigantic scam it turns out that the 30 terabyte SSD actually consisted

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

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:35.040
weird serbian uncle calls the uncle zoran special

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:38.800
when you plugged it into a computer the drive's hacked firmware would report

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:43.120
that it indeed had a 30 terabyte capacity but if you tried to write data

00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:47.840
that was larger than the tiny capacity of the sd cards inside the system would

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:52.800
just overwrite whatever existing data there was over and over again so when

00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:56.480
you went back to find your data later it would be gone

00:02:54.160 --> 00:03:00.800

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

00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:04.560
what's already been reported this is kind of concerning but also does anyone

the u.s department of justice is reportedly considering an antitrust case

00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:16.880
against apple for its app store practices and fees that have earned the

00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:20.880
company plenty of criticism over in the eu although companies like google and

00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:25.600

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

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:43.919
of gas cars in the state starting that year while it seems like an aggressive

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:48.240
target many large automakers have already set the 2030s as a timetable for

00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:52.240
transitioning towards an all-electric manufacturing although california isn't

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

00:04:53.840 --> 00:04:59.840
has more people in it than all of canada decides they're done with gasoline

00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:04.160

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

00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:10.960
seven and nine dollars a month

00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:16.479
big news for comparison netflix's current hd plan

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:20.880
is 1549 a month and netflix plans to sweeten the pot by limiting ads to only

00:05:18.880 --> 00:05:25.120
four minutes of every hour and not showing them if a customer is watching a

00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:30.000
netflix original so technically you could avoid ads with this tier if you

00:05:37.039 --> 00:05:44.960
that seemingly describes either a pixel foldable phone or the upcoming pixel

00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:49.759
tablet featuring a tiny camera embedded in the bezel that the patent describes

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:54.080
as an ultra micro hole this camera hole is so small it will

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

00:05:56.080 --> 00:06:03.360
little as it sounds many whole aficionados are sure to love this ultra

00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:07.560
