Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, I'm gonna need you to back up
a little bit, okay, you click the video and then you were like leaning in like this.
I'm like, can I just do, can I just do the tech news? I just need a little personal space, okay?
Listings for NVIDIA's first batch of RTX 50 series GPUs
have been spotted on Zotac's website by perhaps the perfect website
to discover such a thing, videocards.com. Entries for the RTX 5090, 5090D for the Chinese market,
5080, 5070TI and the 5070 were all seen in Zotac's system,
along with evidence seemingly confirming that the RTX 5090 will feature 32 gigabytes
of GDDR7 memory, leaving absolutely nothing
to donate to the orphanage. This is why we need to buy Intel Arc cards.
But the RTX 5090 might have less
than the previously rumored 600 watt TPP.
According to a big GPU leaker on campus, Kopeit 7 Kimmy.
As for the rest of the lineup, WCCF Tech claims in a couple different articles
that their sources say the RTX 5070TI and 5060TI
will both get 16 gigabytes of VRAM, while the 5070 non-TI will have 12 gigs
and the 5060, just eight gigs. Although Kopeit 7 Kimmy also disputed WCCF Tech's numbers
for power requirements, and I'm sorry, at the end of the day, I trust the Twitter account
with an indecipherable handle more. That's just how these things work.
Apple plans to launch a foldable iPad in the next few years,
but not like a regular iPad that folds in half,
a giant 20 inch tablet the size of two iPad Pros side by side.
Sounds an awful lot like a laptop. It's not a laptop.
It's called an iPad. Okay, the info comes from Apple Universe Explorer,
Girm Markstrong, AKA Mark German. That was stupid.
Who says the device is set to launch in 2028,
so Apple has time to eliminate the crease often seen
in the displays of foldable devices made by other worse companies.
German also says Apple's working on putting OLED panels
in MacBooks and tinkering with a foldable iPhone concept,
but Apple doesn't really think you need a foldable iPhone, so you don't.
Perhaps the most important thing we can glean from Mark German's report is that Apple is working
on a full overhaul of the Magic Mouse.
Apparently Apple's design team aims to devise something that better fits the modern era.
As if people preferring to use a mouse that doesn't have to flip onto its back to recharge
like a distressed turtle is a recent development. People used to be okay with this.
Also holding it feels like holding a sharp rock. What were we doing here?
For day eight of its 12 day shipping spree, OpenAI made search GPT, officially known as chat GPT search,
which is worse, available to everyone, even nonpaying users in yet another announcement
that could have been an email. The move should help determine whether OpenAI has a chance
to step on Google's turf, since search GPT shares
the affinity of Google's AI overviews to get things super wrong.
Speaking of, Google took this opportunity to show off its upgraded VO2 video generation model,
which looks as good as, if not better than, OpenAI's Sora.
Google says this is thanks to VO2's understanding of physics,
as seen in this hella rad clip. The only thing this skateboarder is defying
is his parents' expectations. Yep, AI development is still going strong.
The CEO of Buy Now, Pay Later service, Klarna,
says his company stopped hiring a year ago because AI can already do all of the jobs.
And literally no one is safe. Just look at Toyota's Q-Robot making a basketball shot
from 80 feet away. The Looney Tunes are already on their way
to sign this thing up for Space Jam 3.
We're screwed. Probably still be a better actor than Michael Jordan.
Okay, you've leaned forward again? The quick bits aren't gonna escape, all right, chill.
The Switch 2 leaks won't stop thanks to someone
dropping into the Nintendo Switch 2 subreddit, claiming to have their hands on the actual console,
apparently sending evidence of that to the mod to prevent their posts from being deleted,
and then asking people to stop messaging to ask for photos,
which is like wandering into the dog park slathered in peanut butter.
What was the plan here? Long story short, the leaker gave out a bunch of info
that lines up with recent leaks. People made new mock-ups based on that info,
and even if they're not real images, that's good enough for Reddit user IsmaMonkey.
He's just out on the web to approve of mock-ups. Anybody got some mock-ups over here?
Yep, looks good. YouTube has pushed a couple of notable updates.
One is the ability for creators to control what third-party companies can train AI models
on their content. Creators can allow specific access
for a list of 18 such companies, or just open the floodgates for anyone to have access.
But YouTube's access is always on. How else could they have the resources
to develop experimental features like creator voice replies to comments,
which is rolling out to some creators like Theo Joe right now.
Although it seems like it works on iOS and Android, but not desktop.
Give this to me next, YouTube. Tim Cook has a lot to say.
According to Amnesty International, and reported by 404 Media,
Serbian law enforcement is using software called Celebrite
to unlock the phones of people they detain, which they then infect with spyware called NoviSpy.
They did this to Slavisa Milanov, a journalist for Serbian news outlet FAR,
who reports on government corruption. And if this report is any indication,
he'll continue to do that. But now the government will know about it.
Digital license plates can be hacked to change their plate number,
according to IO active security researcher, Joseph Rodriguez,
who detailed his jailbreak for reviver brand license plates to wired.
Because it's a hardware vulnerability, it couldn't be patched with a software update,
meaning reviver would have to physically replace units in the states where they're currently legal,
which includes Arizona, California, and Texas.
And that's just wild, because I just heard about these things today,
yet even I saw this coming. And US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer thinks
it's about time we got answers after another weekend full of drones
flying through New Jersey and causing chaos. They start off friendly,
but get a few drinks in them and they're hollering out the side of their pickup truck. Blasting music, it's terrible.
I'm only half joking. Unexplained drone sightings are causing issues,
recently triggering the shutdown of a large Air Force base in Ohio.
After weeks of refusing to say much about it, the federal government now wants to speak plainly.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told ABC News that while there's little
or no evidence of wrongdoing, quote, there's no question that people are seeing drones.
So are we good? There's also no question that you should come back here
on Wednesday for more tech news. If the drones haven't beamed us up by then
and replaced us with a glowing orb, then you should not listen.
Never trust an orb.
