1
00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:03,920
- This is driving me crazy. Cause I got this feeling something important happened today.

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,070
And I just, I can't remember. It's like, it's a political thing.

3
00:00:07,070 --> 00:00:10,830
All right. The white house website got dark mode.

4
00:00:10,830 --> 00:00:14,660
Neat. LG is thinking about ditching the smartphone business,

5
00:00:14,660 --> 00:00:15,923
according to the Korean,

6
00:00:21,288 --> 00:00:25,240
according to CEO kwon Bong-Seok, The Korean Herald reported

7
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:30,520
that the company's big cheese revealed in a message to staffers, that it is about time

8
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,830
for LG to make a cold judgment regarding a sale, withdrawal

9
00:00:34,830 --> 00:00:39,390
and downsizing of the company smartphone business in response to fierce competition.

10
00:00:39,390 --> 00:00:45,610
But this news comes only a week after LG teased their rollable smartphone at CES.

11
00:00:45,610 --> 00:00:49,623
Now what are we supposed to do with that thing? Stick it at our pipes and smoke it.

12
00:00:50,639 --> 00:00:53,920
Kwon's considering the move because of his self-perceived failure

13
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,460
to make LG's mobile division profitable by 2021.

14
00:00:57,460 --> 00:01:03,600
I mean, I don't know who made the decision to tie the wacky flip-up LG wing in with "Songbird",

15
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,820
that horrible looking movie about COVID starring the guy from "Riverdale" but,

16
00:01:07,820 --> 00:01:11,700
that probably didn't help either, bad decisions, they haunt you forever, right?

17
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:16,710
Fresh leaks of Intel's Alder Lake-S processors are haunting the internet, specifically

18
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:21,560
a 16 core model with DDR5 memory, that does sound spooky.

19
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:27,890
An entry in the SiSoftware database described a hybrid design processor that has shown up in leaks before.

20
00:01:27,890 --> 00:01:31,680
It's got eight high performance, hyper-threading capable cores, in addition

21
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,070
to eight power efficient cores for a total of 24 threads.

22
00:01:36,070 --> 00:01:39,280
But the presence of DDR5 is a new detail

23
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,500
as is the chips boost clock of 4 GHz, allowing this sample to perform substantially better

24
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:49,670
than the one shown in previous leaks. Now, these are desktop processors and I'm not sure

25
00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:52,800
what use efficiency cores will have when, you know,

26
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,450
battery life isn't really in the picture, but hey, maybe Intel knows something I don't,

27
00:01:57,450 --> 00:02:03,650
I certainly hope Intel knows something I don't. And a week after announcing the RTX 3060,

28
00:02:03,650 --> 00:02:08,620
NVIDIA may be planning to reintroduce the RTX 2060

29
00:02:08,620 --> 00:02:14,660
and 2060 super into the market. French enthusiast site, overclocking.com claims

30
00:02:14,660 --> 00:02:19,390
that sources have told them NVIDIA has distributed new GPU stock

31
00:02:19,390 --> 00:02:23,280
to board partners as a way to have something,

32
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,410
anything on shelves that gamers can actually freaking buy.

33
00:02:27,410 --> 00:02:30,760
If this is true, it's pretty ridiculous.

34
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,210
I mean the GPU stock shortage has gotten apparently this bad

35
00:02:34,210 --> 00:02:39,270
to the point where we are re releasing old products so consumers have some way to spend their money.

36
00:02:39,270 --> 00:02:43,920
In case you were hoping for a deal, it looks like the RTX 3060 may not launch

37
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:51,230
with a founder's edition which means that most cards will be priced above the 3060's, $329 MSRP.

38
00:02:51,230 --> 00:02:54,840
Maybe we were wrong. Maybe we all should have pre-ordered these cards

39
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,603
when they launched. Now look at us, poor schmucks.

40
00:02:59,410 --> 00:03:04,700
Now it's time for the Graphics Bites, brought to you by MANSCAPED, the men's grooming company

41
00:03:04,700 --> 00:03:09,110
that doesn't want you to let Nixon cuts ruin your Valentine's day.

42
00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:13,690
MANSCAPED's perfect, (laughing) I'm trying to imagine that, it's like,

43
00:03:13,690 --> 00:03:17,670
oh, God heavens. MANSCAPED's perfect package 3.0 features,

44
00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:22,040
they're awesome lawnmower 3.0 waterproof body trimmer and a whole lot of other goodies,

45
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,230
like their new refined cologne, it's hypoallergenic

46
00:03:25,230 --> 00:03:28,690
and has a super subtle yet enticing woodsy scent

47
00:03:28,690 --> 00:03:32,370
that's a perfect compliment to the scent in other MANSCAPED products.

48
00:03:32,370 --> 00:03:36,450
Because men, like do stuff in the woods, right? So you gotta like, yeah,

49
00:03:36,450 --> 00:03:40,030
you gotta smell like wood-- - [Man] Trees, et. Cetera.

50
00:03:40,030 --> 00:03:43,140
- She'll love your wood smell and use promo code tech

51
00:03:43,140 --> 00:03:46,450
for 20% off and free shipping at the link below. I think we've had enough here.

52
00:03:46,450 --> 00:03:50,630
All right, time for the graphics Bites, ever heard of them? The European commission has issued fines,

53
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:54,670
totaling 7.8 million euros against Valve

54
00:03:54,670 --> 00:03:59,620
and five steam publishers, including ZeniMax, Capcom and Bandai Namco.

55
00:03:59,620 --> 00:04:05,210
The EC says that the company's restricted sales in some European regions, but not others,

56
00:04:05,210 --> 00:04:08,300
which is against EU antitrust rules.

57
00:04:08,300 --> 00:04:13,180
Valve plans to appeal of course, saying that geoblocking actually helps prevent publishers

58
00:04:13,180 --> 00:04:18,030
from raising prices in less affluent regions. But regardless, if the fines go through,

59
00:04:18,030 --> 00:04:22,140
it shouldn't be too much of a burden thanks to that sweet, sweet Dota money.

60
00:04:22,140 --> 00:04:25,680
- [Man] Only works in the game though. - [Presenter] And M1 Mac book users are complaining about

61
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,140
a Macalester big server that activates the screen saver

62
00:04:29,140 --> 00:04:34,340
and renders laptop unusable. Huh, should have bought a Windows laptop.

63
00:04:34,340 --> 00:04:38,560
They don't have any bugs, like, for instance, that crashes your whole PC

64
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:44,430
when you open a certain path, and file Explorer, PCMR bro.

65
00:04:44,430 --> 00:04:47,530
Virgin orbit has finally managed to live up to their name

66
00:04:47,530 --> 00:04:50,800
with the successful launch of the LauncherOne rocket

67
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:56,980
into orbit becoming the first company to do so with a liquid fueled rocket deployed from a 747.

68
00:04:56,980 --> 00:05:00,570
Looks like Richard Branson will finally get his access card

69
00:05:00,570 --> 00:05:05,610
to the super secret billionaire space station where Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos spend

70
00:05:05,610 --> 00:05:09,010
all their time probably, glaring at each other.

71
00:05:09,010 --> 00:05:13,560
But living longer, you know that right? - [Man] Thanks to relativity.

72
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,790
- [Presenter] The company formerly known as Oculus, Facebook reality Labs is apparently researching

73
00:05:17,790 --> 00:05:22,460
a way to reduce the screen door effect in VR headsets, involving rapidly

74
00:05:22,460 --> 00:05:25,720
and minutely shifting the entire display.

75
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,730
So basically, they're gonna make a vibrator that goes right on your face.

76
00:05:29,730 --> 00:05:34,870
Sounds horrible or great, depending on what you want the headset for.

77
00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:39,150
And the Japanese researchers have developed a super conducting processor said

78
00:05:39,150 --> 00:05:43,260
to be 80 times more efficient than traditional seven nanometer alternatives.

79
00:05:43,260 --> 00:05:46,610
And if that doesn't get you excited enough this bad boy is made

80
00:05:46,610 --> 00:05:54,220
of super conducting niobium and built from adiabatik quantum-flux-parametrone.

81
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,880
Is that a real word? What is this line? I mean there's more

82
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,893
than 20,000 Joseph's injunction switches.

83
00:06:01,893 --> 00:06:05,390
Woo, woo, it's getting hot in here.

84
00:06:05,390 --> 00:06:09,370
I gotta take off my LTT Store merch. Ah, this tech news, you know what,

85
00:06:09,370 --> 00:06:13,570
it's too much, it's too hot to continue. So come back on Friday for more tech news

86
00:06:13,570 --> 00:06:17,780
which will also be very hot because we have only the hottest news for you,

87
00:06:17,780 --> 00:06:21,300
the very hottest viewers, we can finally joke about it.

88
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:23,487
- [Man] Oh, man, it's like nostalgic now.
