WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.000 Sometimes I snooze on tech news, but don't get confused TechLinked will sink your mind to the enthusiast kind and fast-forward not 00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:13.120 Rewind through the tropic topics. That's the hottest, but that doesn't mean they're not cool 00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:16.140 So don't snooze on tech news choose to peruse 00:00:20.040 --> 00:00:28.140 The specs for NVIDIA's upcoming RTX 50 series blackwell GPUs have allegedly already leaked thanks to reliable tipster 00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:36.020 Copitae 7 Kimmy, which is how I will pronounce it always Kimmy has claimed the cards will be based on 00:00:36.460 --> 00:00:42.740 The GB202 and GB203 GPUs. I don't know what their opinions will be 00:00:42.740 --> 00:00:49.820 But we'll see the latter is expected to be a cut-down version of the former with half the number of cores on top of that 00:00:49.820 --> 00:00:53.980 The cards may be the first to feature gddr7 memory 00:00:54.500 --> 00:00:58.500 Specifically the memory speed will cap out at 28 gigabits per second 00:00:58.500 --> 00:01:05.260 Which is lower than the published specifications for the next-gen memory, but still faster than gddr6 00:01:05.540 --> 00:01:13.100 X's maximum speed. This detail seems the most solid while Kimmy has seemed to flip-flop on memory bus width 00:01:13.100 --> 00:01:18.900 The tipster now says the GB202 will sport a 512 bit memory bus 00:01:18.900 --> 00:01:24.180 But previously hinted it would come with the same 384-bit interface the 4090 has 00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:31.200 But if all this gaming GPU news tricked you into thinking that NVIDIA cares about those again, I'm sorry AI is still 00:01:31.500 --> 00:01:36.420 Jensen's favorite child CEO Jensen Huang has implied the company's next-gen 00:01:36.860 --> 00:01:43.720 DGX AI servers will be liquid cooled perhaps to deal with extra heat due to increased power consumption 00:01:43.780 --> 00:01:47.300 This wouldn't be the only hot water NVIDIA's AI has created 00:01:47.300 --> 00:01:54.780 Team green is being sued by three authors who claim their copyrighted works were used without permission to train the company's 00:01:54.940 --> 00:02:02.740 Nemo AI platform with this lawsuit NVIDIA joins the list of AI companies sued for copyright infringement companies like 00:02:03.500 --> 00:02:07.820 Every other AI company. It's a rite of passage really. AGI will emerge 00:02:08.660 --> 00:02:19.500 from the fire of Being sued constantly from team green over to team red now AMD has made major changes to the FreeSync certification process in a 00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:24.020 Community announcement the company stated they would be increasing the required 00:02:24.580 --> 00:02:30.300 Maximum refresh rate a monitor needs to support in order to be FreeSync certified 00:02:30.860 --> 00:02:38.100 Originally monitors and TVs only needed a maximum refresh rate of 40 to 60 Hertz to get a basic FreeSync stamp 00:02:38.340 --> 00:02:46.020 But now the minimum certification Requires at least a 144 Hertz maximum refresh rate 00:02:46.100 --> 00:02:51.860 Meanwhile FreeSync premium certification used to just require a monitor that can go up to 120 Hertz 00:02:52.140 --> 00:02:55.940 But now that's only true for displays with horizontal resolutions of 00:02:57.140 --> 00:03:04.820 3440 pixels or above TVs or monitors below that resolution must have a maximum refresh rate of at least 00:03:05.420 --> 00:03:11.340 200 Hertz a premium pro has also changed to match premium, but with the added criterion of 00:03:11.740 --> 00:03:15.740 HDR support now these might sound like huge and confusing changes 00:03:15.740 --> 00:03:20.500 But they really just reflect today's most common refresh rates in desktop gaming monitors 00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:25.020 It's super common now to find budget gaming monitors at 144 Hertz 00:03:25.020 --> 00:03:33.180 But no matter what monitor you're running AMD's new upscaler for non-game just video content could be welcome news for you 00:03:33.180 --> 00:03:38.820 Radeon RX 7000 users out there. It's basically team red's answer to NVIDIA's RTX 00:03:39.020 --> 00:03:46.060 VSR, but apparently it's a bit more complicated to set up not only do you have to enable it in AMD's adrenaline control panel 00:03:46.060 --> 00:03:52.660 But you also need to enable options in Windows 11 settings app and additional settings in Chrome and Edge 00:03:52.660 --> 00:03:58.460 If you want to use it in one of those browsers as for other browsers AMD didn't mention them Firefox 00:03:58.460 --> 00:04:06.420 What is that some sort of cryptid it's friends with the insolendian phasmid about five people get that and apple will be releasing next-gen 00:04:06.500 --> 00:04:13.900 iPad pros and heirs in the next month according to the girm in the apple apple will not have a launch event for their mac and 00:04:13.900 --> 00:04:16.940 iPad updates because the vision pro is all that matters now 00:04:17.380 --> 00:04:21.940 Previously it was rumored that apple would simply put out press releases on its website last week 00:04:21.940 --> 00:04:25.740 But that doesn't seem to have happened while we wait for those products 00:04:25.740 --> 00:04:29.220 We can perhaps also wait for a new apple headset. Oh 00:04:29.620 --> 00:04:36.540 Insiders like Gerbin have claimed we might see a cheaper alternative to the vision pro in 2025 or 2026 00:04:36.620 --> 00:04:41.460 But according to a leaker called Ravegnaz 00:04:42.900 --> 00:04:47.580 According to that leaker apple is accelerating research and development on an entry-level 00:04:48.020 --> 00:04:55.100 headset the leaker claims apple is trying to reduce the cost of their headset displays which count for almost a third of the vision 00:04:55.100 --> 00:04:59.740 pro's total manufacturing cost allegedly the second generation headset could cost 00:05:01.100 --> 00:05:04.380 $1,500 which is a bargain on apples pricing scale 00:05:04.460 --> 00:05:13.060 But before that allegedly happens the AirPods Pro may be getting a major new hearing aid mode with iOS 18 according to 00:05:13.300 --> 00:05:17.980 Mark German again. He's back a 2022 study already suggested AirPods work 00:05:18.340 --> 00:05:23.060 Competently as a cheaper alternative to a traditional hearing aids. So how can they get better? 00:05:23.260 --> 00:05:28.220 Will they cure hearing loss in some weird partnership with mr. Beast 00:05:28.980 --> 00:05:36.620 Implant your AirPods directly into your skull quick bits are like a little kiss of summer in the spring a flashlight in the fog 00:05:37.620 --> 00:05:44.100 Sunday morning pajama reddit and its current shareholders would be offering a total of 22 million shares 00:05:44.820 --> 00:05:50.740 Optimistically for around thirty four dollars each and the rest is as they say basic grade school math 00:05:50.860 --> 00:05:58.740 Who says that around 1.76 million of those shares have been set aside specifically for reddit users who joined prior to 00:05:58.820 --> 00:06:03.700 January of this year because everyone else is just free writing the company is reportedly targeting 00:06:03.780 --> 00:06:09.780 Evaluation of close to six and a half billion dollars, which is honestly a bit more than I'd be willing to pay for it 00:06:09.780 --> 00:06:13.740 20 bucks. Take it or leave it. You'd be lucky if anyone pays you more than 20 bucks for that thing 00:06:14.620 --> 00:06:22.460 Xiaomi is removing a popular feature that allowed users to play YouTube videos in the background on their Android based operating system 00:06:22.620 --> 00:06:27.620 Without subscribing to YouTube premium thus avoiding paying Google money 00:06:27.900 --> 00:06:35.100 So that works Google who actually quite likes money is suspected of having pressured Xiaomi into removing the feature 00:06:35.100 --> 00:06:37.700 Though Xiaomi only said that the changes were due to 00:06:38.460 --> 00:06:44.940 Unspecified compliance requirements Specifically compliance with the back of Google's hand slap slap 00:06:45.380 --> 00:06:53.180 Google leaked the pixel 8a's existence in the most on-brand way in Android 14's QPR one update 00:06:53.180 --> 00:06:58.780 Google added extended battery statistics that allowed users to see charging cycle counts and 00:06:59.180 --> 00:07:07.860 Manufacturing dates for their phones battery However, this feature disappeared in an update this month when a user reported this as a bug a Google representative 00:07:08.260 --> 00:07:12.580 Stated that existing devices were never meant to get this feature. So they removed it 00:07:12.940 --> 00:07:18.900 Saying we only enable this page on pixel 8a and beyond. Oh, oh, that'll be on the pixel 00:07:19.900 --> 00:07:29.860 Sorry Android users you may have lost a feature But your sacrifice has allowed Google to justify yet another phone launch a mod has been released that gives NVIDIA 00:07:29.980 --> 00:07:38.220 RTX 20 series and GTX 16 series GPUs support for resizable bar a performance enhancing feature that lets your CPU 00:07:38.860 --> 00:07:43.860 Access your GPU's entire frame buffer as long as your motherboard says it's okay 00:07:45.740 --> 00:07:53.340 Isn't there someone you forgot to ask that's actually not a joke rebar only works if the motherboard CPU and GPU all support it 00:07:53.340 --> 00:07:58.340 So using this mod which is based on another mod adding rebar support to older processors 00:07:58.540 --> 00:08:02.340 Involves patching your motherboards at UEFI firmware now 00:08:02.340 --> 00:08:10.660 That's always a little risky But what is life if not a continuous sequence of taking one risk after another? This is not an endorsement. Do not sue us 00:08:10.660 --> 00:08:13.820 We're not an AI company if Riley jumped off a cliff with you 00:08:14.300 --> 00:08:19.020 And that's just a question and Porsche has unveiled the Taycan turbo GT 00:08:19.180 --> 00:08:27.420 It's fastest road legal car ever and it proved it too by setting a new record for a production EV car at the Laguna 00:08:27.460 --> 00:08:30.620 Seca track in California Linus is so sad 00:08:30.620 --> 00:08:35.980 He went back to driving his Lambo out of shame in addition to more range and faster charging 00:08:35.980 --> 00:08:40.940 The new Taycan got a bonus in the form of a Tim Cook appearance in its announcement video 00:08:40.940 --> 00:08:47.300 He congratulated Porsche CEO Oliver Bloom on the launch and on the Porsche Vision Pro app 00:08:47.300 --> 00:08:54.540 That lets you spectate races from various perspectives. I hope CEO's pinching the air becomes part of every major product release going forward 00:08:54.540 --> 00:08:58.920 It just makes everything more exciting. I think it's called carcinization where everything starts turning into crabs 00:09:03.620 --> 00:09:09.700 As you know we're releasing a product, but there's nothing more exciting than coming back on Wednesday for more tech news 00:09:11.940 --> 00:09:13.940 Nothing
