WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.760 O come ye tech news, joyful and disruptive, O come ye to Teck, LinkedIn, learn the news. 00:00:07.760 --> 00:00:16.720 It's December 3rd. Is that too early for Christmas music? What's it? Oh, uh. Intel now owns 1% of the gaming GPU market. 00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:20.000 Huzzah! We did it! Yes! 00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:26.240 Now according to John Petty Research, Intel, the multi-billion-dollar tiny underdog of the 00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:31.680 discrete GPU market has crawled its way up from a nearly 0% market share. 00:00:31.680 --> 00:00:37.040 So although 1% is a minuscule foothold, at least they're on the mountain. 00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:43.200 JPR also shows AMD has moved up to a 7% share of the gaming GPU market, 00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:46.560 leaving NVIDIA to still control a whopping 92%. 00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:54.800 Speaking of AMD though, it's been reported that both their CPUs and GPUs are about to see 00:00:54.800 --> 00:01:00.880 price increases, with claims suggesting that AMD's 16GB cards could rise as much as $40. 00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:07.440 However, the good news is that the 25% import tax on Chinese-made electronics that could have 00:01:07.440 --> 00:01:13.600 spiked PC component costs even more has been delayed again all the way to November 2026, 00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:17.200 so maybe you'll be able to afford a GPU after all. 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:22.400 If you do buy a new GPU, from Best Buy at least, hopefully it's actually a GPU. 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.960 And not just ROX, which is apparently what Redditor Nardead received. 00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:30.960 Upon submitting a customer service claim, they were notified by Best Buy that 00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:37.920 after its investigation, Best Buy would NOT be replacing or refunding the $1,200 purchase. 00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:40.960 Talk about a ROCKY customer service experience. 00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:47.760 Micron has announced it's killing its consumer memory brand crucial after 29 years, 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:51.680 but it's not because they don't love you. It's because they love money more. 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:57.360 The company says it needs to improve supply and support for larger strategic customers 00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:03.680 in faster growing segments. Which is CorpoSpeak for AI Data Centers Equals Cash. 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.840 Ah, who got cha-ching cha-ching cha-ching? Bling bling coins. 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:12.000 Crucial products will continue shipping through February 2026. 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.720 Then it's Goodbye Forever to the brand that's been stuffing RAM into gaming PCs 00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:20.720 since you cried to the I'm Still Here song from Treasure Planet 00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:23.680 as it played on a demo TV in Radio Shack. Remember that? 00:02:24.320 --> 00:02:27.440 I know you do. I was there. And it's not just Micron. 00:02:27.440 --> 00:02:31.440 The memory market has gotten so chaotic that one report claims 00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:37.360 Samsung Semiconductor Division is now negotiating supply contacts with themselves. 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:41.040 With LPDDR5X prices more than doubling this year, 00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:46.160 Samsung can allegedly only fulfill about 70% of its existing DRAM orders. 00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:51.200 They're renegotiating the contract terms with their own mobile division 00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:55.200 to continue putting Samsung memory into Samsung devices. 00:02:55.200 --> 00:03:03.760 You know, family dynamics. It's tough sometimes. Now Samsung released a statement saying they have not rejected certain customer requests. 00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:07.600 But that's not really what we're talking about here, Samsung. Are you okay? 00:03:07.600 --> 00:03:13.280 SK Hynix doesn't expect the shortage to be resolved until at least the first half of 2027. 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:17.840 But despite this, both Korean giants will not be ramping up production, 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:24.400 choosing to prioritize long-term profitability and to minimize the risk of oversupply. 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.600 Which is Corpo speak again for, Holy f**k, bubble my burst at any moment, taking the US economy with it, 00:03:29.600 --> 00:03:33.280 and we have bunkers we're trying to finance. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:35.840 So if you're planning to upgrade your RAM anytime soon, 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:41.600 maybe take out a second mortgage. Or just accept that 16 gigs is plenty. 00:03:41.600 --> 00:03:46.240 It's fine. It's definitely enough to play a pirated copy of the official treasure planet game 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.400 on a Game Boy Advance emulator. And that's all that matters. It's the only game. 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:55.120 That's good. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has declared a code red. 00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:05.520 And not in the fun Mountain Dew way. Marshaling all hands to improve chat GBT as Google's Gemini 3 steamrolls past it in industry benchmarks. 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:11.440 Now that's according to a Wall Street Journal report, and it's a wild turning of the tables compared to three years ago. 00:04:11.440 --> 00:04:15.920 When Google declared its own code red after chat GBT launched. 00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:24.800 Since Gemini 3 rolled out on November 18th, monthly active users have surged to 650 million up from 450 million in July. 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:29.120 And in response, OpenAI is reportedly pulling back on extra bells and whistles, 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:33.600 like its pulse recommendation feature, additional AI agents for shopping and healthcare, 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.640 and plans to bake ads into chat GBT. 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:41.440 All the focus, all of their efforts on not getting bodied by Google. 00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:44.560 Altman says they'll release a new reasoning model next week 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.160 that beats Gemini 3 in their internal evaluations. 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.600 Evaluations like, who is Sam's favorite boy? 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:55.600 And who thinks Sam is absolutely rocking those crew next letters? 00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:01.760 It better be you new chat GBT. Meanwhile, Google is using its definitely superior AI 00:05:01.760 --> 00:05:06.560 to replace headlines in Google's Discover Feed with unrelated clickbait. 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:10.720 For example, it turned this headline about a Baldur's Gate 3 in-game exploit 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:14.160 into, BG3 players exploit children. 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:22.000 All while Grock limps along in the back of the pack as it justifies genocides to save Elon Musk's brain from theoretical vaporization. 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:25.840 So, AI's going great everyone. Everything's gonna be fine. 00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:30.240 Especially if you check out our sponsor, Time for quick bits, five stories, 30 seconds each, 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:36.880 zero time to process your emotions. Let's go! India's government has decided not to force all new phones shipped in the country 00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:40.160 to come pre-installed with a government-made cybersecurity app. 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.440 The government drew sharp criticism over the plan from the public 00:05:43.440 --> 00:05:47.040 and from Apple, who reportedly refused to go along with it, 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.400 saying the mandate didn't jive with its privacy policies. 00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:55.680 And that's not a quote, but just imagine Tim Cook talking about stuff not jiving with him. 00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:00.240 I think he would. Sorry, Linda. That ain't gonna jive this time. 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:08.720 I'm really happy about this because when I'm in India, the only thing I want immediately installed is some delicious shahi paneer 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:17.120 and naan in my belly, you know what I'm saying? So, Samsung just introduced the Galaxy Z tri-fold, its first triple-fold phone. 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.240 The tri-fold is thin and pocketable, like a phone. 00:06:20.880 --> 00:06:24.560 Powered by a customized Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:30.480 but unlike a phone that is not like this phone, it folds out into a full 10-inch screen. 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:35.600 As the first tri-fold phone that I'm aware of to have an official North American release planned, 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:43.280 it's gonna cost you, though, with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage priced at $2,449. 00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:50.480 When it comes to the tri-fold, the real question is, who's gonna fold and pay those prices? Probably a surprising amount of people. 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:55.280 New York now has a new law that forces retailers to disclose when they use 00:06:55.280 --> 00:06:59.920 consumers' personal data to set prices, aka surveillance pricing. 00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:05.840 Online shoppers in the US state are now seeing a blunt new line under some prices. 00:07:05.840 --> 00:07:09.760 This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data. 00:07:09.760 --> 00:07:13.040 The law is probably clinging a lot of people into the fact that this apparently 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:18.960 has already been happening. Now, you'll know when you might be paying more just because your profile is yelling, 00:07:18.960 --> 00:07:23.680 Hey, I'm shopping here and I have very low price sensitivity. 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:25.440 Also, I'm from New York, by the way. 00:07:26.880 --> 00:07:33.840 Android 16 is getting a batch of new features, including AI notification summaries and an AI-powered 00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:39.280 notification organizer. Kind of a wild move considering how poorly Apple's initial attempt 00:07:39.280 --> 00:07:45.760 at the same feature went. It was suspended after a BBC complaint about factual errors in their 00:07:45.760 --> 00:07:50.480 news alerts. So your notifications are about to lie to you and your Google Home app is getting 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:55.680 worse, because sadly, some features are being quietly removed, like the Call Home feature, 00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.960 which used to let you call your Google Home devices from your phone. 00:07:58.960 --> 00:08:04.560 This has left a lot of parents, including mine, frustrated because their easy check-in method is gone. 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:09.200 I don't care the dinner is in five minutes, mom, I'm almost finished the solar server level on 00:08:09.200 --> 00:08:13.920 Treasure Planet. Oh, you're so annoying. I should have moved out already, probably. 00:08:14.960 --> 00:08:22.400 And robotics company Engine AI just unveiled the T-800. Yes, it's named after that T-800, 00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:29.280 a 1.73 meter humanoid robot that, in their video, kicks in a pair of saloon doors and then starts 00:08:29.280 --> 00:08:35.200 throwing spin kicks like my 14-year-old cousin after a white monster energy drink. It's scary, 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:42.240 the kid. The video also has the T-800 walk by a smaller robot about the size of Unitree's popular 00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:48.480 G1 robot, and Unitree took that personally. They responded by dropping a video of their 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:56.320 1.8 meter H1 robot absolutely wailing on the 1.3 meter G1. And I'm not sure what they were hoping 00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:01.680 for, but it looks like a fully grown adult beating up a fourth grader. So if my cousin shows up at 00:09:01.680 --> 00:09:06.960 your Christmas party with a white monster, you know who to call. Unitree, eliminate the threat 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:12.880 of children forever. And that's a wrap. See you Friday for more tech news, more AI chaos, 00:09:12.880 --> 00:09:17.680 and probably more reasons to wonder if we're living in a simulation that's running out of memory. 00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:20.800 It's getting a little confused. Just kidding.
