00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,080
if you're having tech problems i feel bad for you son i got 99 problems but

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:10,080
tech news ain't one hit me oh that's great news so we've been waiting for a

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:14,799
long time and it looks like we finally might have a reveal date for NVIDIA's

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:19,840
new line of ampere gpus this morning the official GeForce twitter account tweeted

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,720
out a short video saying 21 years 21

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:26,240
days indicating something exciting is happening on august 31st rumors have

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:29,439
been flying this way in that regarding pricing and availability of the product

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:33,520
stacks so we're not going to speculate on specifics but it's nice to finally

9
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:38,640
hear something from the horse's mouth so to speak however vague it may be as for

10
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:42,480
the 21 years part it's been 21 years since the very first GeForce processor

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:46,640
hit the market meaning that NVIDIA graphics cards are finally old enough to

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:51,600
drink in most the us so you know this launch is gonna be wild man epstein may

13
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:55,600
need not apply speaking of rumors another long-standing one is that

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:01:00,800
microsoft will be launching a second next-gen xbox alongside the xbox series

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:04,559
x this one at a lower price point the leak is of an updated version of the

16
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:09,040
xbox controller and on the side of the box you can see that it indicates

17
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:14,080
compatibility with both the series x and the series series

18
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:17,920
unsurprisingly microsoft was tight-lipped when ars technica asked

19
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:22,000
them about the leak but they didn't make any denial that the leak was real they

20
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:24,000
didn't not say it wasn't not real

21
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:30,799
what it's not yet clear exactly how the series s will stack up technology wise

22
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:35,280
to the series x or how much it will cost but it will most likely be a lower power

23
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:41,040
option without an optical drive it's also unclear what its nickname will be

24
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:45,280
we've got xbox sex

25
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:48,000
how about xbox sass xbox says

26
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:52,079
i'm getting an xbox set AMD looks to be in the process of

27
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:55,439
developing a new hybrid style CPU they've already put several dies on one

28
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,840
package as we've seen with their epic series of server processors but

29
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:04,399
according to a patent recently granted to AMD the company might be looking at a

30
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,879
CPU design similar to the big little paradigm used by ARM chips and Intel's

31
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:13,599
new lakefield hybrid processors the idea is that you'd put both high and low

32
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:17,680
performance dies on the same package with the higher performance core

33
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:22,480
handling less demanding operations to the lower performance ones saving energy

34
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:26,560
which i like it's unclear if the idea will ever actually materialize in the

35
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:30,160
market but if it does it'll be harder for me to use my phone

36
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:34,319
died as an excuse when Linus is pinging me

37
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:37,280

38
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:41,280
now it's time for quick bits brought to you by blinkist the app that takes the

39
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:45,120
best insights and important info from thousands of nonfiction books and

bits but for books with the mobile app and on desktop you can read or listen to

42
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,200

i actually just absorbed five philosophy books that i've been meaning to get to

46
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:14,640
for a while including kant's critique of pure reason and meditations by marcus

47

51
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:39,760
i didn't ask for this we all know tiktok is facing an imminent ban in the us if a

52
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:43,120
non-chinese company doesn't buy them but it also looks like twitter might be

53
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:47,360
throwing its hat into the ring on the heels of microsoft's reported interest

54
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:51,280
however twitter is worth far less than microsoft so it's possible twitter may

55
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,319
not be able to afford to buy tick tock if only they'd given us an edit button

56
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:58,959
they would have the money they'd be rolling in it scrooge mcduck

57
00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:03,200
it won't be long until toshiba laptops disappear from store shelves for good

58
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,959
and no one will care as the company has announced it's finally quitting the

59
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:11,920
notebook industry sharp is buying what's left of toshiba's laptop division

60
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:16,320
marking the end of a 35-year era of toshiba notebooks maybe that whole hd

61
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:21,359
dvd xbox thing just cursed the entire company you know

62
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:26,080
seven years bad luck twitter also is now allowing some users to view who has

63
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:29,919
quote tweeted their tweets and how many times other users have done so this will

64
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,919
make it easier to track engagement though it's not yet known whether the

65
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:37,120
future will get beyond the testing phase you know sometimes they just die like

66
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:41,280
are you quote tweeting me because you think i'm cool are you trying to make me

67
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,280
look dumb

68
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,440
although parts of the world have reopened to various degrees many of us

69
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:53,600
are still spending lots of time at home and as such video game sales are still

70
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:58,800
surging in the us total spending on gaming hit 11.6 billion dollars during

71
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:02,639
q2 up from the previous record of 10.9 billion set during this year's q1 just

72
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:07,120
make sure you're not blowing all your money on stuff like horse armor but it

73
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:12,479
looks cool and you probably noticed the empty husks

74
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,840
of former sears and jc penney stores if

75
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:19,280
you walked around a mall in the us lately but amazon is reportedly interested in taking over those spaces

76
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,800
and using them as distribution centers because why not twist if you've already

77
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,800
stabbed i love the irony of how amazon might end

78
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:32,000
up both killing at killing shopping malls and saving them at the same time

79
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:35,120
but at what cost every day low prices that's our show for

80
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:40,080
today so come back on wednesday for more tech news and even more problems i

81
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:43,120
really can't overstate how many problems we have that are not tech news so many

82
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,880
problems but tech news is easy

83
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:50,400
son yes i feel bad for you oh
