EVGA might be pulling out even further
from the PC business according to rumors about their motherboard team resigning
what will they tell the children boards I'm James shrive this is technique and
this is a forum post from Korean overclocker safe disc who claims the
entire EVGA Taiwan team including fellow overclock her Kingpin have resigned
which could force the company to leave the motherboard Market altogether as a
rumor it almost makes too much sense since it's been just short of a year
since EVGA announced they would no longer be making gpus and gpus and
motherboards are like peanut butter and jam peas and carrots
however workers at EVGA Spain told Tech
PowerUp it's just another day at the office shortly before evj's PR team told
Linus me group that these resignation reports are rumors and everyone at the
Taiwan office is still there high-fiving and building Electronics they probably
even have a beer card on Fridays there's still room for doubt though it's been
pointed out on Reddit and several forums that the company's Supernova XC power
supplies come with only a three year warranty now two to seven years shorter
than usual I mean maybe these new psus are just huge piles of but there's also
the fact that Tech Jesus Steve Burke over at Gamers Nexus interviewed evga's
Motherboard BIOS team along with Kingpin who answers Steve's question about
future projects by saying there is no next project as he and the BIOS team
soon won't be colleagues anymore for
some reason no one's interpreting the statement in a morbid way so it's
definitely killing the whole team so we'll wait for further details instead
of assuming Kingpin might be taking inspiration from his Marvel counterpart
very few of NVIDIA's AD and board partners are interested in promoting the
upcoming 4060 TI 16 Gigabyte version this is according to Andreas Schilling
an editor at Germany's Hardware Lux who has an unfortunate name for this
business but who also tweeted that he had heard this personally from several
NVIDIA Partners while also pointing out that there are fewer models of the 16
Gigabyte version compared to the already available 8 Gigabyte version and who can
blame them after the 4060 and 4060 TI 8 Gigabyte were received about as warmly
as one would receive being shipped with an ice vehicle during a visit from your
in-laws who are from the Northwest Territories that's part of Canada
under the toboggan the 8 Gigabyte 4060 TI has already received a price cut in
Europe at Spanish retailer cool mod 2 Spain mentions and so has the 4060 just
one week after launch it's possible this epidemic of more reasonable prices for
NVIDIA's underwhelming cards will spread across the pond partner cards priced
above MSRP have already started dropping in the US so it's possible the MSRP
itself may drop as well with all this background information it's pretty
obvious that aib Partners wouldn't be jumping out of their pants to promote
and release another card they'll eventually have to sell at a razor thin
margins anyone can crack that case not just genius detectives like Tony
shaloob's monk from the award-winning TV shows of the same name which I actually
watched It's a Jungle Out There I don't
know why and meta's Twitter rival threads launched this Wednesday and
already has 70 million users who I imagine are enjoying familiar features
like following people running little messages and having limit to post on how
many times you can do certain things maybe the familiarity is why Twitter
threatened Mark Zuckerberg with legal action threads get threats a lawyer for
Twitter excuse me I mean x-corp the successor in interest to Twitter sent a
letter to the Zuck who was probably doing nogi Jiu Jitsu when he received it
the letter cc'd Elon which you can do in letters and ended with the valediction
very truly yours which sounds kind of
hot for a legal threat I think that means like I'm real right now maybe
lawsuits are how billionaires flirt Elon of course had to tweet about the story
since based on the letter he believes meta cheated by maliciously hiring
dozens of former Twitter employees after Elon fired them all but Twitter's former
Workforce still can't get their old boss out of their minds and I assume that's
why they are suing musk again this time they're looking for Twitter to foot the
bill for the arbitration cost from lawsuit classic these entitled employees
man Elon already apologized last year what now you want him to pay for the
fees Twitter required to pay based on the Clauses of the arbitration firm they
selected how's that fair pull yourself up by your bootstraps oh my God you guys
are you threatening they're probably pedal guys now it's

companies that meet the definition of gatekeeper under the digital markets Act
it includes Usual Suspects like alphabet Amazon and apple and next year online
travel agency booking.com will join the club gonna be a bit of a weird eighth
wheel situation if the EU confirms the gatekeeper designation affected
companies will face regulations like needing to make their messenger apps
interoperate with rivals or allowing users to decide what apps are
pre-installed on their devices I can't wait until I can finally use iMessage on
booking.com or not use iMessage on Tinder dates I go on them still I'm bad
I don't I'm lame a French bill that would let police surveil suspects
through the cameras mics and GPS systems of their own phones or other devices is
close to becoming law and what promises to be a perfect answer to ongoing
protests about police conduct a judge will have to approve the surveillance
which will be limited to Serious cases and maximum surveillance length of six
months of peanuts and don't worry French
MPS added amendments to exclude sensitive professions from being
surveilled such as doctors lawyers and of course MPS but officials say this is
nothing like 1984 probably because that was almost 40 years ago guys and British
Amazon's planned acquisition of Roomba maker iRobot is facing scrutiny from the
European Union no this didn't go through years ago as your mind thought the EU
feels that the planned 1.7 billion dollar bio could affect the competition
in the robot vacuum cleaner Market all
two of the other companies but apparently like everyone else they're
not concerned with Amazon gaining access to the home Maps generated by roombas or
the front-facing cameras on the newest models I mean when was the last time
sharing intimate data with tech Giants had terrible ramifications uh Cambridge
analytica Amazon giving information 2018. police
this year cameras weeks ago when Apple launches The Vision Pro headset next
year buyers will be required to make an in-store appointment so they can be
taught how to use it to make sure it's fitted properly after all these people
will be buying a 3500 first gen product they're not exactly Geniuses the smart
people point and laugh from the sidelines everybody knows that this info
comes from Bloomberg's Mark German who also wrote that the fitting process will
involve fitting optional prescription lenses lenses different sized light
seals and multiple head straps you're going to come out of there looking like
a minimalist BDSM enjoyer but at least
you'll be one of the first to arrive in the place Apple refuses to call the
metaverse they call it the orchard who's your daddy now it's Tim Cook I'm in the

product in question is a turntable made in collaboration with British Audio
brand Lin to celebrate the company's 50th Anniversary I've described this
opportunity as a very gentle and modest project for us and I just think that's
beautiful anyway that turntable is sixty thousand dollars who cares but the
experience of tech news is priceless so come back on Monday when we launch our
next episode there will be blue there will be orange there will be squares
