we don't have much time I don't know how much longer I can hold back the tech news oh no it breached the containment
run more details about Intel's upcoming aerol Lake desktop CPUs have leaked and
there were some surprising numbers not the silly 200 series numbering scheme we
knew that already according to Chinese news Outlet bench life the AOL Lake s
core Ultra Series will only comprise 13 SKS that's not the only surprising
number bench life's ratio of P course to eour in the K series core Ultra 7 CPU
disagrees with earlier leaks while bench life has claimed the processor would
have eight PES and 12 ecores reports from January suggested 6 plus 16
configuration but both leaks claim all K series chips have as many threads as
they have cores which would mean AOL Lake won't feature hyperthreading that's
Intel's simultaneous multi-threading Tech not your Grandma's secret
embroidery technique while Intel ditching hyperthreading may be a
significant change it might not be a bad one because of the larger number of
cores on Modern CPUs it may be better to dedicate a whole core to a single task
many chip makers and designers like Apple Samsung and Qualcomm don't even
support simultaneous multi-threading on their platforms hopefully AOL Lake does
well for Intel's sake though as AMD hit an all-time high in desktop x86 market
share this year Intel has fallen to a measly
76.1% of the market how can Intel possibly cope with only 3/4 of the
entire Market I I'd be worried Apple managed to anger the entire internet
with a single ad something that sounds a lot easier than it is the copertino
commune released an ad for their new iPad Pro called Crush in which a giant
hydraulic press destroys art and creative tools like instruments and
camera lenses in an attempt to demonstrate how amazing it is that the
thinnest iPad ever can do so many things unfortunately the YouTube video had
comments turned off so everyone did the healthy thing and went onto Twitter to
bully Tim Cook for tweeting the ad some strong hate came from Japanese viewers
apparently some of that may be due to the belief in sukum Mami from Japanese
folklore tools that have acquired a spirit which could mean that in a way
Apple basically committed mass murder and I mean look at these cute little
guys what kind of sick monster would want to crush them creators at large
were upset by the sight of beloved objects being flattened by faceless
Unstoppable machines um which is a very blunt metaphor for AI taking artist job
but hey at least Apple apologized it won't bring that piano back but you know
buar is dead buy your mom a soul Spotify
will apparently pay about $150 million less to us songwriters next year
according to billboard this is after the company announced it would be raising
the prices of its subscription plans in several markets to cover the cost of
audiobooks a service Spotify introduced last year the music streaming giant now
claims that since it has to pay pay licensing fees for Books and Music
Spotify qualifies to pay a discounted bundle rate to songwriters for premium
streams and you now have to pay for lyrics after Spotify quietly restricted
being able to read the words of a song to premium users but Spotify isn't the
only music company to alienate its customer base Sonos released a brand new
update to its mobile apps for iOS and Android and everyone hates them while
the intent was to make the app better the company actually removed a of key
features even worse the update broke accessibility for visually impaired
users and if you don't like the new update you can't roll it back in a
statement to The Verge the company said they will be reintroducing the missing
features in the coming months in response to the criticism son's Chief
product officer said it takes courage to rebuild a Brand's core product from the
ground up that's what the person sounds like for sure and it takes a strong lack
of common sense to release that build before it's finished that's not like

bits are like the five shorter stories at the end of the video actually that's
literally what they are Google launched the $500 pixel 8A this week starting
with 8 GB of RAM 128 GB or 256 GB of
storage and a handful of fun colors like the one boing boying calls abandoned
house bathro green it's actually called aloe and based on early Impressions the
pixel 8A actually seems like a decent mid-range phone and it's even getting
support for DisplayPort over USBC along with the pixel 8 and 8 Pro but as with
all things Google we'll keep our fingers crossed that Google doesn't kill it8
months from now it's less of a company and more like a weather system the FCC
has eased worries that the net neutrality rules it voted back into
force on April 25th would still contain a loophole allowing telecoms to create
paid Fast Lanes for certain types of internet traffic while the draft text of
the rules didn't explicitly prohibit such Lanes the final rules published
this week do and thank goodness we knew
that making some go slower means that it's not going the same speed as the
rest of the stuff but we had no idea if that was true for going
faster big day for science neuralink has publicly stated that its first human
brain implant partially malfunctioned within a few weeks of being inserted
luckily however it seems that the patient 29-year-old quadriplegic Nolan
arbau is unharmed and currently under no risk in fact he's still using the brain
computer interface which nerling has adjusted to compensate for having fewer
electrodes available to communicate with the implant relies on 1,24 electrodes
spread across 64 finer than hair threads
that reach through the pathways of the brain an unknown number of these shads
retracted for unknown reasons though I'm really hoping that's just unknown to we
the public and not unknown to neuralink
as the possibility of mad computer science recreating our dead loved ones
as AI powered ones and zeros Looms on the horizon ethicists are warning that
creating a chatbot designed to mimic your dead spouse might be
psychologically unhealthy not only is there concern that this might circumvent
the normal grieving process there's already a lot of potential for predatory
businesses to exploit people's grief and anxiety over death there's also plenty
of room for this to be incredibly disrespectful to both the living and the
dead say if your premium trial ends your husband's AI ghost starts sneaking
branded messaging into every conversation that's nice dear now this
segue to our sponsor and the United States Marine Force Special Operations
Commander and say that five times fast is currently evaluating robot dogs armed
with AI aimed rifles baby less than a
year ago the Marines were testing robot dogs armed with rocket launchers
personally I want to know why everyone keeps slapping weapons on the back of
robot dogs last month a company called throwflame started selling robot dogs
with flamethrowers on their backs why can't we just let robot dogs do normal
robot dog things like play fetch and leak oil on fire hydrants and why can't
you come back on Monday for more Tech news Tri a question you can come back
and you will or I'll sick my robot dog Army on you but they only carry treats
and little first aid kits on their backs cuz I'm saying
