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

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

00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:14.799
long time and it looks like we finally might have a reveal date for NVIDIA's

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:19.840
new line of ampere gpus this morning the official GeForce twitter account tweeted

00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:20.720
out a short video saying 21 years 21

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:26.240
days indicating something exciting is happening on august 31st rumors have

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:29.439
been flying this way in that regarding pricing and availability of the product

00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:33.520
stacks so we're not going to speculate on specifics but it's nice to finally

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

00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:42.480
the 21 years part it's been 21 years since the very first GeForce processor

00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:46.640
hit the market meaning that NVIDIA graphics cards are finally old enough to

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

00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:55.600
need not apply speaking of rumors another long-standing one is that

00:00:53.360 --> 00:01:00.800
microsoft will be launching a second next-gen xbox alongside the xbox series

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

00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:09.040
xbox controller and on the side of the box you can see that it indicates

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:14.080
compatibility with both the series x and the series series

00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:17.920
unsurprisingly microsoft was tight-lipped when ars technica asked

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

00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:24.000
didn't not say it wasn't not real

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:30.799
what it's not yet clear exactly how the series s will stack up technology wise

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

00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:41.040
option without an optical drive it's also unclear what its nickname will be

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:45.280
we've got xbox sex

00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:48.000
how about xbox sass xbox says

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:52.079
i'm getting an xbox set AMD looks to be in the process of

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.439
developing a new hybrid style CPU they've already put several dies on one

00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:59.840
package as we've seen with their epic series of server processors but

00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:04.399
according to a patent recently granted to AMD the company might be looking at a

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:08.879
CPU design similar to the big little paradigm used by ARM chips and Intel's

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:13.599
new lakefield hybrid processors the idea is that you'd put both high and low

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:17.680
performance dies on the same package with the higher performance core

00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:22.480
handling less demanding operations to the lower performance ones saving energy

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:26.560
which i like it's unclear if the idea will ever actually materialize in the

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:30.160
market but if it does it'll be harder for me to use my phone

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:34.319
died as an excuse when Linus is pinging me

00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:37.280
on the weekends riley he's everywhere audition

00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:41.280

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

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:57.200

parenting self-help philosophy and they've got full audio books now too

with up to 65 off for premium subscribers during my commute this week

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:09.280
i actually just absorbed five philosophy books that i've been meaning to get to

00:03:06.959 --> 00:03:14.640
for a while including kant's critique of pure reason and meditations by marcus

00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:19.519
aurelius and honestly guys i'm so much smarter now it's wild the first 100

feel bad for you son i got 99 quick bits and they're all really good

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

00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:43.120
non-chinese company doesn't buy them but it also looks like twitter might be

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:47.360
throwing its hat into the ring on the heels of microsoft's reported interest

00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:51.280
however twitter is worth far less than microsoft so it's possible twitter may

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

00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:58.959
they would have the money they'd be rolling in it scrooge mcduck

00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:03.200
it won't be long until toshiba laptops disappear from store shelves for good

00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:06.959
and no one will care as the company has announced it's finally quitting the

00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:11.920
notebook industry sharp is buying what's left of toshiba's laptop division

00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:16.320
marking the end of a 35-year era of toshiba notebooks maybe that whole hd

00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:21.359
dvd xbox thing just cursed the entire company you know

00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:26.080
seven years bad luck twitter also is now allowing some users to view who has

00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:29.919
quote tweeted their tweets and how many times other users have done so this will

00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:33.919
make it easier to track engagement though it's not yet known whether the

00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:37.120
future will get beyond the testing phase you know sometimes they just die like

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

00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:41.280
look dumb

00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:49.440
although parts of the world have reopened to various degrees many of us

00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:53.600
are still spending lots of time at home and as such video game sales are still

00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:58.800
surging in the us total spending on gaming hit 11.6 billion dollars during

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

00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:07.120
make sure you're not blowing all your money on stuff like horse armor but it

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:12.479
looks cool and you probably noticed the empty husks

00:05:09.440 --> 00:05:13.840
of former sears and jc penney stores if

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

00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:22.800
and using them as distribution centers because why not twist if you've already

00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:26.800
stabbed i love the irony of how amazon might end

00:05:24.880 --> 00:05:32.000
up both killing at killing shopping malls and saving them at the same time

00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:35.120
but at what cost every day low prices that's our show for

00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:40.080
today so come back on wednesday for more tech news and even more problems i

00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:43.120
really can't overstate how many problems we have that are not tech news so many

00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:46.880
problems but tech news is easy

00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:50.400
son yes i feel bad for you oh
