WEBVTT 00:00:00.179 --> 00:00:07.379 I didn't want to tell you this until your birthday but I saved up and got you 00:00:05.460 --> 00:00:12.599 some tech news three times a week it comes it shows up it's a I made a show 00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:17.160 that they're so weird NVIDIA canceled the launch of the 12 Gigabyte RTX 4080 00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:22.140 and now supply chain sources are saying that the one surviving RTX 4080 the 16 00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:26.640 Gigabyte model will be getting a price cut it's the last of its kind I can't 00:00:24.660 --> 00:00:30.240 imagine how sad it is with lots of people having paid out the nose for a 00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:34.320 new 3000 Series card during the pandemic it's not super surprising that the 00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:39.059 high-end 4000 series cards that have been released so far haven't sold all 00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:43.379 that well so a price adjustment on the RTX 4080 makes some sense especially 00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:48.480 since NVIDIA will have a new crop of lower priced AMD cards to compete 00:00:45.899 --> 00:00:53.460 against soon and they are raring to go Young Blood watch out it doesn't look 00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:57.059 like NVIDIA is having too many stock issues so you should probably be able to 00:00:55.140 --> 00:01:01.140 get the lower priced 4080 for whatever the new MSRP will end up being hopefully 00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:05.159 it will be more than the recent five percent cut the card got over in Europe 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:09.720 which was mostly due to the changing value of the Euro and not at all because 00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:14.880 Jensen is scared of Dr Sue so hopefully it'll be achievable 00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:16.619 the price yeah to pay for it hopefully 00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:22.080 someone will be able to pay the price yeah the PCI Express special interest 00:01:19.020 --> 00:01:24.659 group or PCI Sig which develops the PCI 00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:28.799 spec has given us all the big it wasn't me 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:32.820 regarding the controversy over melting 12 volt high power connectors come on 00:01:31.020 --> 00:01:35.759 they weren't even in the room they were hanging with the boys they could have 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.320 been a cold one it couldn't have been them in a statement PCI Sig said that 00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:43.860 the manufacturers are responsible for the overall design safety and 00:01:42.060 --> 00:01:48.060 Manufacturing obviously of their products putting the blame squarely at 00:01:45.960 --> 00:01:51.420 NVIDIA and their graphics card Partners feat without directly saying it they cut 00:01:50.340 --> 00:01:55.799 Corners all the time they don't even have an eye in their freaking name 00:01:53.820 --> 00:01:59.700 to be fair to Team Green it seems that most of the melting connectors were not 00:01:57.540 --> 00:02:02.820 inserted correctly into the graphics card although I could probably still 00:02:01.320 --> 00:02:06.420 find a way to blame them for that when you could have come to the house you 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:10.200 could have made sure so if you have a card that uses the connector it's worth 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:14.160 triple checking that it's gone in all the way but you'd also think PCI Sig 00:02:12.420 --> 00:02:18.300 could have come up with a spec that was a bit easier to install although that's 00:02:16.260 --> 00:02:22.080 not so simple I mean USB a ports are everywhere but and that's the most 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:24.900 unintuitive thing ever if you're going to go all the way with your GPU make 00:02:23.580 --> 00:02:29.640 sure you go to makeup point you treat them nice that's right get them some 00:02:26.700 --> 00:02:33.900 flowers yeah Nintendo has come out and apologized for the Myriad issues that 00:02:31.739 --> 00:02:38.819 affected Pokemon scarlet and violet at launch and even better they'd come out 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:41.660 with a patch it just just replace the game with breath of the wild the new 00:02:40.260 --> 00:02:46.560 version of the game 1.1.0 contains a number of bug fixes 00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:51.660 however most players seem not to have no more bug Pokemon no they're gone 00:02:48.980 --> 00:02:54.720 Metapod most players seem not to have been able to tell yet how much it's 00:02:53.220 --> 00:02:58.739 actually helped as the bugs were widespread including low frame rates 00:02:56.580 --> 00:03:03.000 short draw distances and missing textures Nintendo kept most specifics on 00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:07.200 what the bug fixes actually are under wraps so I suppose you'll end up knowing 00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:10.440 them when you see them or you'll know them when you can't run double speed by 00:03:09.060 --> 00:03:15.720 connecting an extra controller anymore I'm some fans think the issue might be a 00:03:13.739 --> 00:03:19.739 memory leak as this has been responsible for weird texture behavior and plenty of 00:03:17.700 --> 00:03:25.519 non-nintendo titles but regardless of the real reason hopefully this patch and 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.519 others moving forward will be 00:03:25.620 --> 00:03:30.840 super effective Thunder now for quick 00:03:28.860 --> 00:03:34.980 bits brought to you by manscaped Christmas is right around the corner and 00:03:32.760

be 00:04:14.819 --> 00:04:23.220 getting a new crop of 7 000 series chips next month at CES 2023 they're gonna 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:26.460 it's corn crop it's gonna be corn AMD is expected to

unfortunately we won't have them in time for Christmas 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:38.460 because January still comes after December I told them they should change 00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:42.660 that could it it doesn't make any sense if you thought AAA titles were already 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:47.460 expensive be prepared to pay even more as you'll now be spending up to 70 bucks 00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:52.080 on the standard editions of certain Xbox titles Microsoft deciding the increasing 00:04:50.280 --> 00:04:55.560 technical complexity of these games is the reason because the more stuff you 00:04:53.699 --> 00:04:59.639 fit on the disc the more dollars are generated it's a code thing I don't know 00:04:57.180 --> 00:05:04.380 it's like oh it's crypto C plus yeah okay Sony has already been charging 70 00:05:01.979 --> 00:05:09.360 bucks for some of its games but of course thinking of the price is 69.99 00:05:06.979 --> 00:05:14.160 might make the painful buying experience a little nicer or confusing we don't 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:18.000 live in a country that has a penny or that doesn't haven't heard this meme 00:05:15.419 --> 00:05:21.180 before if you own a pixel 7 or pixel 7 Pro there are a couple of major new 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:25.919 features heading your way as part of an update rollout this week a big one is 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:30.180 the Google one VPN which you'll be able to use for free normally free vpns are 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:34.560 kind of sketchy they might be selling your information or something but this 00:05:31.979 --> 00:05:38.100 one seems safe because Google because it it doesn't mask your location but it'll 00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:41.940 still give you a more secure experience you'll also be getting clear calling and 00:05:40.380 --> 00:05:46.680 AI powered feature that's supposed to make calls in noisy places sound better 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:53.160 if you don't have a pixel 7 just yell HBO Max could be dropping the 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:55.380 HBO but in name only although what other 00:05:53.160 --> 00:06:00.060 name would they it's your boy Max yeah the streaming 00:05:58.320 --> 00:06:03.720 service is merging with Discovery plus as they're both owned by Warner Brothers 00:06:02.039 --> 00:06:07.860 and reports indicate that the newly merged service is just going to be 00:06:05.100 --> 00:06:11.100 called Max my buddy Max and have you ever wanted to bring the experience of 00:06:09.300 --> 00:06:16.380 working in a business class seat home except with more leg room and a nicer 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:18.060 display every day Cooler Master wants to 00:06:16.380 --> 00:06:24.120 give you just that with its new gaming and productivity pod called the orb X 00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:26.460 aside

excellent 00:06:31.860 --> 00:06:38.100 X because there's an x no because it looks like a freaking egg oh no word yet 00:06:36.419 --> 00:06:42.900 on pricing but can you really put a price on looking
