hey hey no you clicked this video to play in the background and then you were
gonna go do something else weren't you no eyes on me buddy you did this global
foundries one of the world's biggest chip manufacturers has filed a lawsuit
against tsmc or taiwan semiconductor
manufacturing company the suit was filed in the u.s and germany and involves
allegations of tsmc infringing on 16 of
global foundry's patents in a statement tsmc said the accusations are baseless
and the company will vigorously defend itself the statement also said they're
disappointed to see global foundries resort to lawsuits instead of competing
in the marketplace with technology oh did you pick up on that maybe they
should switch to manufacturing sick burns
now normally we don't report on lawsuits for the sake of it but this one is
important because tsmc makes chips for NVIDIA apple google qualcomm lenovo
cisco and more and if global foundries wins this lawsuit products from all of
those companies may be banned from sale it would be like the snap
but no one would die so it's not not as bad three years after the launch
of the sustainable repairable fairphone 2 the fairphone 3 has been announced
like its predecessors the new model isn't competing with flap flab ships
flagships like the galaxy note 10 or iphone 10s and the specs department its
qualcomm snapdragon 632 chipset four gigs of RAM and 1080p display with
plenty of bezels aren't going to turn any gadget loving heads but what it does
offer is a soothing bomb for your heavy conscience
where is it where's your conscience located your kidney
are you a crossfit doing vegan well here's another thing for you to talk
about indeed the verifone 3 is a made using conflict-free materials and
recycled copper and plastics plus fairphone's phone recycling program will
reward you consumers who use it and b it's super repairable being made of
seven different modules that can be switched out as needed there have been a
number of attempts at modular phones in the past including google's own project
aura but maybe what will stick is an ethical alternative people seem to be
liking those more and more these days kfc's plant-based beyond fried chicken
sold out in less than five hours when it launched in atlanta yesterday you know
what's weird is if if you bought a fair phone too ethically you should not
upgrade to the three oh no
no and if you're a sane person you hate
all of those stupid motion smoothing modes that come pre-enabled on every tv
so yeah so it's great news that the uhd alliance an industry group made up of tv
makers like lg vizio and panasonic just announced filmmaker mode it's a setting
that will automatically disable motion smoothing on tvs and will also ensure
that things like color aspect ratio and frame rate are set to their proper
values so that you can enjoy capital f films
the way the good lord intended
filmmaker mode could be activated by a button on the tv remote or automatically
via metadata embedded in blu-ray discs
or online streams so you might not even have to go find it in the settings
can it please be default well it will be default if it's embedded in the
technology prominent filmmakers helped the uhd alliance develop the new
standard including christopher nolan martin scorsese and ryan johnson so it
looks like it'll be awesome as long as ryan doesn't decide he wants to subvert
our expectations about this two that's right i'm still upset
how about a little bit of smoothie at the end

after suspending their human listening program for siri audio recordings apple
has now permanently terminated hundreds of the contractors who were responsible
for transcribing audio content i hope you're happy they're dead
no apple will still continue to listen to some audio content recorded by siri
but only using apple employees and only if users opt in to the program now these
programs are supposed to make virtual assistants better but who do you think
you're fooling oh okay people this thing just aren't contractors now no they're
actual apple employees no that's the only difference yeah okay well the old
ones were fired they were the problem those perverts
benchmarking program 3dmark has added a new variable-rate shading test to its
suite the feature allows games to decrease the amount of rendered details
on objects outside of the player's focus which gives the GPU more room to push
out more frames as much as 50 percent more in some cases vrs will be available
on Intel integrated graphics and NVIDIA cards but as of now AMD cards do not
support it so hopefully team red gets some drivers out because that's that's
free performance it's better than fake chicken it's free real estate
on your in frames in terms of frames hey look at this big old drone that's a
prototype made by a startup named elroy air and they hope to make a bunch of
them to deliver large heavy payloads up to 250 pounds over a 300 mile range yeah
which of course begs the question could this thing deliver another one of itself
over and over and is that how the singularity starts
food for thought researchers at mit and analog devices
inc have created a 16-bit processor based on the risk 5 architecture which
doesn't sound that impressive until you hear that it's built using human
and russian space agency roz cosmos has delivered its final experimental
demonstration object research or fedor
robot to the international space station that's how you say it
the humanoid robot will assist with experiments and small tasks aboard the
space station but let's not forget this is the same robot russia previously
showed off dual wielding pistols so let's hope they erased all that
programming or we're gonna have the setup for a really cheesy space action
movie yeah just chuck a creepy sophie face on it
i'm here to help i'm a citizen
all right that's quite enough of that come back on friday for more tech news
or it's just going to sit on the stove and go bad you got to stir it occasionally you
can't just leave it there okay did you guys do food safe
did you keep it on the sabbath baby
i didn't i didn't actually do i don't i didn't do votes
see you later
