Look, I already know why you're here. It's for tech news.
How do I know this? I can tell by the way you clicked on this video,
there was just something about it.
Je ne sais quoi. The PlayStation 6, which sounds weird to say,
may come with a handheld variant that takes the page from Nintendo
in that it has a Switch-style docked mode for TV gaming
and that they'll sue you if you even think about writing God of War fan fiction.
The docked mode claim comes from YouTuber, Moore's Law is Dead, whose sources also provided him
with the PS6 handhelds APU specs, which if accurate,
would make it one of the most cunning edge processors ever in a gaming console.
The chip's CPU cores are reportedly built on AMD's Zen 6 architecture,
which is slated to launch in 2027, while its GPU uses AMD's also unreleased
next-gen RDNA 5 graphics. Normally, consoles are built on chips and architectures
that are at least a couple of years old by the time they launch, so developers can squeeze everything they can
out of familiar stable chipsets. So we're not sure how much to trust Moore's Law is dead here.
He's right very often, but it is a leak website.
It's like Nintendo, you let them in once and then they sue you.
I'm keeping my distance this time. Apple has stepped in and removed popular torrenting app,
iTorrent, from Alt Store, PAL, the third-party app store.
Apple was forced to allow on iOS in the EU
because the EU gets it. iTorrent developer, Daniel Vinogradov told Torrentfreak
that their distribution rights to publish apps had been removed, which an Apple spokesperson said
was due to government sanctions-related rules in various jurisdictions.
Meanwhile, another developer of iTorrent stated on GitHub
that Apple removed alternative distribution functionality from iTorrent's developer portal without any warning
and didn't provide a reason for the removal.
This just shows that Apple does still have some control
over what apps can and can't be on their device,
or your device, through side loading. Since in the markets act ruling,
apps must still be notarized by Apple to be published.
So what's the point of the market act to you?
I thought you got it. Everyone's favorite punching bag, Intel, has confirmed.
It has received the $5.7 billion it was supposed to get
from the US government in exchange for the government getting 10% of the company.
But the deals are still being ironed out, the concept of a plan, according to the White House.
They're not sure whether it's completely fair just yet.
They may put in a clause about making Intel do their laundry.
But a previous version of the deal was reportedly structured to prevent Intel from selling its foundry unit,
stipulating that the government could purchase up to 5% more of the company's shares at 20 bucks a share
if Intel's ownership fell below 51%.
You better continue to own your own company, or we will.
That's 15%. While they did agree to the deal, Intel's financial troubles mean
that it didn't have much of a choice. And in a recent SEC filing, they warned investors
about the various ways in which the government owning part of Intel could hurt their sales, not help them.
Citing the possibility that many of Intel's customers may think the deal is lame and cringe.
Unlike our sponsor, Getem! Even though you haven't said explicitly
that you'd like the QuickBits now, I somehow know.
I don't know how I know. I've always had a gift.
It's my Zodiac. Xbox has given you more value for your money
by giving the core and standard tiers of Xbox Game Pass the ability to use Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Whereas before, you needed the $20 month ultimate tier.
They also added the ability to place some PC games pass games
to these lower tiers as well. This is available today if you're part of the Xbox Deciders program
and should be rolling out to the masses soon. I'm trying to think of the last time a company gave me
more value for the money I was already paying and I can't.
Happy Friday. Soon Microsoft Word will be changing their opt-in
save to the cloud feature to opt out. Meaning any new documents you create
will save to OneDrive by default. That's enough.
All right, Riley's making me agree with the rest anyway, even though it sucks. While Senior Product Manager Raul Munoz stated
in a blog post that this offers increased security and compliance, Piotr Arntz over at Malwarebytes
said that breaches happen. And if your account is ever compromised,
you could be exposing any documents you are working on. So if that scares you, just like it scares me,
be sure to toggle the setting off and be ready to do it for Excel and PowerPoint
when they get updated in the future. YouTube is rolling out the new hype feature
to 39 more countries. If you're watching a creator with fewer
than 500,000 subscribers, you may notice a hyper button on mobile,
which when pressed, gives points to the video and helps it climb the ranks in the new leaderboard.
Creators can also see how much each video is being hyped on their dashboard,
adding yet another analytic to their difficult to navigate analytics page.
But they just, they live for the analytics. More is better.
NVIDIA continues to grow as they report another record-smashing quarter,
over $46 billion in revenue in Q2.
And they did this without selling the H20 chip
to China, which would have brought in an estimated $8 billion on top of that.
Of course, they did just get the export license during this time, but this may cause other issues
since NVIDIA says they are unable to pay the 15%
that was agreed upon to the US government if Trump's plan isn't formalized.
But NVIDIA's CFO, Colette or Cress, said if nothing shows up, I've got the licenses.
I don't have to do this 15%. Now you go girl.
Taco Bell is having issues with their AI drive-throughs
since people are trolling and causing glitches. I love people today.
Like this video where someone asked for 18,000 water cups.
Can I get 18,000 water cups, please?
Then the AI pauses for way too long before a human takes over.
What can I get for you? Taco Bell announced this AI drive-through plan last year.
And it's now being used in over 500 dystopian locations.
I think Dane Matthews, Taco Bell's chief digital and technology officer,
put it best when he said, I think like everybody, sometimes it lets me down.
Yeah. Me too, Dane, me too.
I just hope you guys won't let me down if I ask you to come back on Monday for more tech news.
I've been let down before by you and it hurts. I cry and I thinking about it.
Riley burns my feet. Please don't let him do it again.
