1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,040 Desktop GPU sales are the lowest they've been in decades. 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:08,120 Kids these days, they don't know how good they have it. Yet ironically, they seem to have 3 00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:12,000 a great understanding of inflation. I'm Riley Murdock, this is TechLinked, 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,160 and this is where the fun begins. For nerds who love numerical facts, 5 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:24,080 get excited. According to a report from John Petty Research, 6 00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:27,920 GPU sales are about 13% lower than last quarter, 7 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,440 and down 38% from this time last year. But according to science, 8 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,480 GPU manufacturers should want number go up, 9 00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:39,480 not number go down. It's taken us years to find out. 10 00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:45,440 And that's really where this tension is coming from. Shipments of NVIDIA cards have fallen by 15.2%, 11 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,640 while AMDs have decreased by 7.5%. 12 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:53,560 You dropped those shipments, pick them back up. These percentages would sound delicious 13 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,400 if we were discussing dairy products and not corporate profits. 14 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,480 So, here we are. 15 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:05,680 There seems to be a shake up in desktop GPU market share as well, milk shake. 16 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,680 Almighty NVIDIA has fallen from 86% to merely 84% 17 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:16,560 since the end of last year, while AMD's market share hasn't changed, but Intel's has. 18 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,880 They've suckled the milk from NVIDIA's 2% teat 19 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,600 and doubled their market share, rising to the peak of 4% of the market. 20 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:31,320 And while that's not quite in cream territory, it would make for a rich bowl of cocoa buffs. 21 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,640 Going to get some after this. Several popular third party Reddit apps 22 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,080 have announced they will be shutting down due to the site's upcoming API changes. 23 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,280 Christian Selig, the creator of Apollo, the iOS Reddit app, 24 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,320 beloved by anyone who prefers their apps to not suck, 25 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,200 but said he would have to pay over $20 million in API fees 26 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:59,040 under the new rules with very little notice. So, Apollo was shut down on June 30th. 27 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,360 The developers of Reddit is Fun and Sync echoed similar sentiments 28 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,200 when they announced they would shut down as well. Couldn't hold water at Sync. 29 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,320 Let that Sync in. On top of being exorbitantly expensive, 30 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,320 Reddit's new API rules prevent third party apps 31 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,320 from running ads or even showing not safe for work content, 32 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,440 which is, let's be honest, a huge part of Reddit, 33 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,280 r slash wolves with watermelons not included. I browse that page with my family every night. 34 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,280 It's fun for the whole family. Selig made a long post describing the situation 35 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:37,280 and his reasoning for shutting down Apollo, in which he also detailed how Reddit CEO Steve Huffman 36 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,000 had internally accused him of blackmailing the company 37 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,240 for $10 million. What actually happened, as evidenced by Selig's transcripts 38 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:53,080 and audio recording of his phone call with Huffman, was that Selig jokingly offered to sell his app to Reddit 39 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,000 for what would amount to six months of its API costs, 40 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,040 but Huffman misunderstood this as a threat. 41 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,520 He's always on edge. Selig then clarified it was a joke 42 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,520 and Huffman apologized profusely, 43 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,160 yet apparently later told others that it was blackmail. 44 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,720 Selig's joke wasn't very good, but if you wanna see a tremendous joke, 45 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,080 check out today's AMA with Reddit CEO Steve Huffman. 46 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:24,000 Someone actually asked him about the accusations and Huffman replied, saying the real problem with Selig 47 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,480 was how he would communicate differently, privately and publicly. 48 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,560 Naturally, Selig replied and asked for receipts. Huffman replied to that and said he must have left him 49 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,120 in his pants when he threw them in the wash. Then Selig clarified he wasn't talking 50 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,960 about physical paper receipts. These guys really need to learn to communicate better. 51 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,960 Also, those last two things we said were a joke. We're not blackmailing you. 52 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,800 And a leaked Tesla report shows the Cybertruck had serious design flaws, 53 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,160 like, for example, not releasing in 2021. 54 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:58,520 The information is brought to us by 100 Gigabyte leak given to German outlet Handelsblatt, 55 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,400 which contained a report dated January 25th, 2022, 56 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:08,760 that said the pre-production truck struggled with things like body sealing, handling, breaking and suspension, 57 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,000 which I believe are things that cars need to grow up 58 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,160 big and strong. The brakes were especially bad, 59 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,360 earning a poor rating on the Society of Automotive Engineers rating scale 60 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,600 instead of the fair the engineers were hoping for. 61 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,840 That's not a lot of hope, is it? That's a lot. 62 00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:31,120 Someone call Obi-Wan. Also, the brake pedal pressure pad was still under design 63 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,320 at least a month after the Cybertruck was supposed to originally release. 64 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,960 So the Alpha model experienced excessive pedal travel 65 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,400 and even inconsistent stop, which is something Jacob sometimes suffers 66 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,200 when he starts talking. But it's all okay because Tesla says 67 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,360 they will have release candidates for the Cybertruck around August of this year, 68 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,880 and you can take that to the bank. Unlike the $100 Cybertruck deposit 69 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,040 you put down almost four years ago. That's gone. 70 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:04,000 Did you know quick bits were originally designed as a way to slowly build tolerance to snake venom? 71 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,760 Now, they're just five shorter stories, one for each failed test subject. 72 00:05:12,060 --> 00:05:16,480 People died, Riley. Don't ask any more questions. The organic life form known as 73 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:22,160 Mark middle name Elliot Zuckerberg unleashed a hot new diss track about Apple's 74 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,880 recently announced Vision Pro headset during a company-wide meeting on Thursday. 75 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,960 According to Elliot, we're calling him now. 76 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:35,640 Well, it's Smell-Eat. According to said Elliot, Apple didn't demonstrate any major technical breakthrough 77 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,880 that Meta hasn't already explored, and that there's a real philosophical difference 78 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,080 in how the two companies are approaching VR because every demo that Apple showed 79 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,400 was a person sitting on a couch by themselves. Our vision, this is meta-talking, 80 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,280 for the metaverse is fundamentally social. It's about people interacting in new ways 81 00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:57,480 and feeling closer in new ways, said Mark Zuckerberg, 82 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,200 a man who pays his employees to sit at the same table as him during lunch, a source alleged. 83 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,720 The source was me just now. Ha ha ha. I heard it too. 84 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,200 Logitech will be ending the blue brand. Double D, double dead. 85 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:15,600 The name under which it sells its extremely popular Sona, Yeti, and Snowball microphones. 86 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,440 It's a name that has launched a thousand two-man podcast about weed, 87 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,800 which is why it's strange that Logitech is axing the brand. That's a strong market. 88 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,480 The mics aren't going away, of course, unless you count most of them. 89 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,400 Blue's music and audio recording mics are absent from Logitech's site. 90 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,520 Seemingly only the streamer-focused Yeti, Snowball, and Blue's Sona 91 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:40,080 have been rolled under the Logitech G brand alongside Astro headsets, 92 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:46,960 which will at least retain the Astro name. Logitech G, of course, standing for Logitech Gangster. 93 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,480 See, it's more like, it's more like. 94 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,680 Thank you. Managers may be using telemetric data 95 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,680 from workplace software to track the productivity of remote workers. 96 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,280 Even though companies like Microsoft and Slack explicitly ask them not to use the data 97 00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:08,920 they give your boss access to. And it may only get worse in the future. 98 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:14,280 The UK's Information Commissioner's office issued a report on neuro data 99 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:20,720 and suggests that workplaces of the future may use neuro technology to track productivity 100 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,320 and even as a recruitment tool. So get ready to ask your friend 101 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,520 to put his brain in a cup for you. It's the only way. Come on, man, I do it for you. 102 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,080 Will I die? No, don't worry about it. 103 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:37,320 I drank like three beers last night. I need a replacement brain. 104 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,560 Summer Game Fest is in full swing with the main showcase, 105 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,360 a Day of the Devs event, and Devolver all showing off the games you'll buy 106 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,000 and forget you own for three years. Just stop, why are you buying so many? 107 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,080 Among the hall of announcements from Summer Game Fest was Alan Wake II gameplay 108 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,000 and a new Star Trek game from Paradox, Star Trek Infinite. 109 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,840 What does it mean? It's infinitely good. 110 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,480 Day of the Devs showed off a bunch of titles and even some new gameplay from Hyper Light Breaker. 111 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,680 Harpachine, I like them. And Devolver showed off exactly four games. 112 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,520 One of them is the Talos Principle II, the sequel to one of my favorite games. 113 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,840 You're just tailoring this to me. And I can sincerely say that when this game comes out, 114 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,160 I will neglect my wife and child. I do not sign off on that, that's not. 115 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,560 It's true. And the creators of Ape Out and Getting Over It, 116 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:28,120 respectively the story of a gorilla-led prison break and a cautionary tale about the consequences 117 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:33,240 of replacing your legs with a cauldron. Don't do it. Are teaming up on a game called Baby Steps, 118 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:39,120 a very literal walking simulator with a fully dynamic onesie-soilage system, 119 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,280 starring Nate, a 35-year-old man who lives in his parents' basement, 120 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:48,040 but is one day magically transported to a random cavern in the middle of the woods, 121 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,200 barefoot, and in his pajamas. He must then embark on a journey of meaning 122 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:57,440 by waddling around through the wilderness like a baby with an overlaid and diaper. 123 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,360 And I think the main thing is that you control one leg at a time, and that's what makes it funny. 124 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,560 Finally, a character we can all relate to. 125 00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:09,120 And you'll definitely be able to relate to Monday's tech news. So why not come on back and say hi? 126 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,740 I won't hear you, but I'll feel it in all of my bones. 127 00:09:12,740 --> 00:09:16,040 So don't say it too loud. My bones will rattle. 128 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:16,880 Hi, Riley.
