oh it's tech news time what time is it
tech news time currently right now one of the biggest
tech events of the year is happening it's called ifa
international phronics association it's
in berlin i don't know what it stands for but we do know acer put up a heck of
a showing at the event first off the triton 900 convertible gaming laptop one
of if not the first gaming machine to use the two in one style flippy screen
so you can finally prove to your friends that you can game without looking very
impressive the predator x desktop on the other hand is a gaming desktop with two
Intel xeon cpus and up to 12 ecc memory
slots slightly overkill but it's obviously meant for users that would
actually use that power professionals or streamers who need lots of multitasking
the swift 7 is now the world's thinnest laptop apparently and the swift 5 is the
world's lightest 15-inch laptop but where is the world's humblest laptop you
know a lot of big talk not a big talk here
moving on acer also debuted the oho 500
mixed reality headset headset you can detach the visor for cleaning and it
automatically adjusts to your pupillary distance apparently
what do you think your pupillary distance is four
i get mine measured at the optimum interest that's right
nice good answer and last but not least acer showed the
thronos gaming cockpit with three
monitor mounts tilt control and vibration it's the ultimate way to tell
your mom to leave you alone you're very busy right now can't be bothered dell
also showed off new laptops at ifa but they're mostly refreshes with the new
Intel laptop CPU so we're skipping those for now what is this the laptop show you
know sometimes tech news hey remember smartwatches you
might now since google just upgraded wear os in a major way with wear os 1.6
bringing changes to nearly every interface notifications are stacked
vertically just like Android and other elements like google assistant also feel
like Android has been watchified new wear os watches are coming to market
with the update including skagen's faulster ii
yup a minimalist swim proof model and
casio's pro-tec wsd f30 a more rugged
outdoorsy model with a 30-day battery apparently i still feel like the biggest
obstacle to wear os is simply how big the watches are and how
small the screens are you know what you should add some notches and dual cameras
then they start they'll start selling like hotcakes speaking of watches
facebook is now rolling out facebook watch internationally the video service
has been live in the us for a year hosting shows made exclusively for that
platform but now everyone in the world will have access creators will also have
increased opportunity to make revenue from content on watch with 55 of the
revenue from ad breaks going to the creators with the rest going to facebook
the platform will look to differentiate itself from youtube or other streaming
services with features that allow viewers to interact while watching
together running polls challenges and quizzes live honestly that's what i've
been missing this whole time how am i supposed to enjoy a show if i don't have
a quiz popping up on screen sounds like a terrible idea like there's
a dramatic moment did you know that's the director's lamp in the background
i'll stick with Floatplane thanks it's time for quick bits brought

go there or hit the link in the description below on to the bats like i mentioned earlier
Intel has launched their 8th gen whiskey lake laptop cpus they're calling them
8th gen still because they're basically kb lake cpus with a few optimizations
and better wi-fi but importantly they're coming with some fixes for the spectre
meltdown and foreshadow vulnerabilities so if you're looking for a laptop look
for the ones with the new chips chip fabricator global foundries is pausing
development on its seven nanometer process so AMD has switched over to tsmc
for its seven nanometer chip development global foundries will now focus on
optimizing its 12 and 14 nanometer processes for markets other than high
performance computing and that's okay not everyone is built to be on the
leading edge of chip development i mean just look at Intel
whoa what is that yeah as a burn
it's a sick burn guys roast it oh
elite 3d benchmark of what could be an rtx 2080 has popped up on the web
showing the unreleased GPU scoring about 35 higher than the current gen gtx 1080
and 5 higher than the 1080 ti so
maybe NVIDIA isn't being too enthusiastic about the hype maybe we
maybe we should pre-order i mean the numbers are there
it must be amazing don't do it dude bad idea
no i don't know no oh
great defense distributed the 3d printed gun company has been forbidden by a
federal court order from publishing the blueprints to its gun so the owner is
selling copies on usb drives instead for a suggested price of 10 bucks each the
company has already gotten 20 000 in sales so this is either
great for freedom or terrible for everyone yeah
right now i'm kind of leading towards the second one but we're we're canadian so it's like i wouldn't trust we don't
yeah guns are already dangerous and then you 3d print them that's a whole nother
shebang and fancy audio company speaking of bang bang and olufsen have shown off
a circular wireless speaker at ifa 2018 which will adjust the volume when you
roll it across the floor because
that's innovation i guess i mean it's different dude check it we got one right
here dude oh check it out it's not even really round i mean it's
like a it's closed
can't even afford real fruit come on seem a bit sour about it oh
nice what the heck this tangling episode is
