WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.040 Desktop GPU sales are the lowest they've been in decades. 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 00:00:08.120 --> 00:00:12.000 a great understanding of inflation. I'm Riley Murdock, this is TechLinked, 00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:17.160 and this is where the fun begins. For nerds who love numerical facts, 00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:24.080 get excited. According to a report from John Petty Research, 00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:27.920 GPU sales are about 13% lower than last quarter, 00:00:28.040 --> 00:00:32.440 and down 38% from this time last year. But according to science, 00:00:32.440 --> 00:00:35.480 GPU manufacturers should want number go up, 00:00:35.480 --> 00:00:39.480 not number go down. It's taken us years to find out. 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%, 00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:48.640 while AMDs have decreased by 7.5%. 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:53.560 You dropped those shipments, pick them back up. These percentages would sound delicious 00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:57.400 if we were discussing dairy products and not corporate profits. 00:00:57.400 --> 00:00:59.480 So, here we are. 00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:05.680 There seems to be a shake up in desktop GPU market share as well, milk shake. 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:10.680 Almighty NVIDIA has fallen from 86% to merely 84% 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. 00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.880 They've suckled the milk from NVIDIA's 2% teat 00:01:19.880 --> 00:01:24.600 and doubled their market share, rising to the peak of 4% of the market. 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. 00:01:33.880 --> 00:01:38.640 Going to get some after this. Several popular third party Reddit apps 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:43.080 have announced they will be shutting down due to the site's upcoming API changes. 00:01:43.080 --> 00:01:46.280 Christian Selig, the creator of Apollo, the iOS Reddit app, 00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.320 beloved by anyone who prefers their apps to not suck, 00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:53.200 but said he would have to pay over $20 million in API fees 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:59.040 under the new rules with very little notice. So, Apollo was shut down on June 30th. 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:03.360 The developers of Reddit is Fun and Sync echoed similar sentiments 00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:07.200 when they announced they would shut down as well. Couldn't hold water at Sync. 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:11.320 Let that Sync in. On top of being exorbitantly expensive, 00:02:11.320 --> 00:02:14.320 Reddit's new API rules prevent third party apps 00:02:14.320 --> 00:02:18.320 from running ads or even showing not safe for work content, 00:02:18.320 --> 00:02:22.440 which is, let's be honest, a huge part of Reddit, 00:02:22.440 --> 00:02:27.280 r slash wolves with watermelons not included. I browse that page with my family every night. 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.280 It's fun for the whole family. Selig made a long post describing the situation 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 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:41.000 had internally accused him of blackmailing the company 00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:46.240 for $10 million. What actually happened, as evidenced by Selig's transcripts 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 00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:57.000 for what would amount to six months of its API costs, 00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.040 but Huffman misunderstood this as a threat. 00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:03.520 He's always on edge. Selig then clarified it was a joke 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.520 and Huffman apologized profusely, 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:10.160 yet apparently later told others that it was blackmail. 00:03:10.160 --> 00:03:14.720 Selig's joke wasn't very good, but if you wanna see a tremendous joke, 00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:18.080 check out today's AMA with Reddit CEO Steve Huffman. 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:24.000 Someone actually asked him about the accusations and Huffman replied, saying the real problem with Selig 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.480 was how he would communicate differently, privately and publicly. 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 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 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.960 about physical paper receipts. These guys really need to learn to communicate better. 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.960 Also, those last two things we said were a joke. We're not blackmailing you. 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:49.800 And a leaked Tesla report shows the Cybertruck had serious design flaws, 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.160 like, for example, not releasing in 2021. 00:03:53.160 --> 00:03:58.520 The information is brought to us by 100 Gigabyte leak given to German outlet Handelsblatt, 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:02.400 which contained a report dated January 25th, 2022, 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:08.760 that said the pre-production truck struggled with things like body sealing, handling, breaking and suspension, 00:04:08.760 --> 00:04:12.000 which I believe are things that cars need to grow up 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:16.160 big and strong. The brakes were especially bad, 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.360 earning a poor rating on the Society of Automotive Engineers rating scale 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:23.600 instead of the fair the engineers were hoping for. 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.840 That's not a lot of hope, is it? That's a lot. 00:04:26.840 --> 00:04:31.120 Someone call Obi-Wan. Also, the brake pedal pressure pad was still under design 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:35.320 at least a month after the Cybertruck was supposed to originally release. 00:04:35.320 --> 00:04:38.960 So the Alpha model experienced excessive pedal travel 00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:43.400 and even inconsistent stop, which is something Jacob sometimes suffers 00:04:43.400 --> 00:04:47.200 when he starts talking. But it's all okay because Tesla says 00:04:47.200 --> 00:04:51.360 they will have release candidates for the Cybertruck around August of this year, 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:55.880 and you can take that to the bank. Unlike the $100 Cybertruck deposit 00:04:55.880 --> 00:04:59.040 you put down almost four years ago. That's gone. 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? 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:08.760 Now, they're just five shorter stories, one for each failed test subject. 00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:16.480 People died, Riley. Don't ask any more questions. The organic life form known as 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:22.160 Mark middle name Elliot Zuckerberg unleashed a hot new diss track about Apple's 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:26.880 recently announced Vision Pro headset during a company-wide meeting on Thursday. 00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:29.960 According to Elliot, we're calling him now. 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 00:05:35.640 --> 00:05:39.880 that Meta hasn't already explored, and that there's a real philosophical difference 00:05:39.880 --> 00:05:45.080 in how the two companies are approaching VR because every demo that Apple showed 00:05:45.080 --> 00:05:49.400 was a person sitting on a couch by themselves. Our vision, this is meta-talking, 00:05:49.400 --> 00:05:54.280 for the metaverse is fundamentally social. It's about people interacting in new ways 00:05:54.280 --> 00:05:57.480 and feeling closer in new ways, said Mark Zuckerberg, 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. 00:06:02.200 --> 00:06:05.720 The source was me just now. Ha ha ha. I heard it too. 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.200 Logitech will be ending the blue brand. Double D, double dead. 00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:15.600 The name under which it sells its extremely popular Sona, Yeti, and Snowball microphones. 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.440 It's a name that has launched a thousand two-man podcast about weed, 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. 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:27.480 The mics aren't going away, of course, unless you count most of them. 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.400 Blue's music and audio recording mics are absent from Logitech's site. 00:06:31.400 --> 00:06:35.520 Seemingly only the streamer-focused Yeti, Snowball, and Blue's Sona 00:06:35.520 --> 00:06:40.080 have been rolled under the Logitech G brand alongside Astro headsets, 00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:46.960 which will at least retain the Astro name. Logitech G, of course, standing for Logitech Gangster. 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.480 See, it's more like, it's more like. 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.680 Thank you. Managers may be using telemetric data 00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.680 from workplace software to track the productivity of remote workers. 00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:05.280 Even though companies like Microsoft and Slack explicitly ask them not to use the data 00:07:05.280 --> 00:07:08.920 they give your boss access to. And it may only get worse in the future. 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:14.280 The UK's Information Commissioner's office issued a report on neuro data 00:07:14.280 --> 00:07:20.720 and suggests that workplaces of the future may use neuro technology to track productivity 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:24.320 and even as a recruitment tool. So get ready to ask your friend 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. 00:07:28.520 --> 00:07:32.080 Will I die? No, don't worry about it. 00:07:32.080 --> 00:07:37.320 I drank like three beers last night. I need a replacement brain. 00:07:37.320 --> 00:07:40.560 Summer Game Fest is in full swing with the main showcase, 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:44.360 a Day of the Devs event, and Devolver all showing off the games you'll buy 00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:48.000 and forget you own for three years. Just stop, why are you buying so many? 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:52.080 Among the hall of announcements from Summer Game Fest was Alan Wake II gameplay 00:07:52.080 --> 00:07:56.000 and a new Star Trek game from Paradox, Star Trek Infinite. 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.840 What does it mean? It's infinitely good. 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. 00:08:04.520 --> 00:08:08.680 Harpachine, I like them. And Devolver showed off exactly four games. 00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:12.520 One of them is the Talos Principle II, the sequel to one of my favorite games. 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, 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. 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:23.560 It's true. And the creators of Ape Out and Getting Over It, 00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:28.120 respectively the story of a gorilla-led prison break and a cautionary tale about the consequences 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, 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:39.120 a very literal walking simulator with a fully dynamic onesie-soilage system, 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:43.280 starring Nate, a 35-year-old man who lives in his parents' basement, 00:08:43.280 --> 00:08:48.040 but is one day magically transported to a random cavern in the middle of the woods, 00:08:48.040 --> 00:08:52.200 barefoot, and in his pajamas. He must then embark on a journey of meaning 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:57.440 by waddling around through the wilderness like a baby with an overlaid and diaper. 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. 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:04.560 Finally, a character we can all relate to. 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? 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:12.740 I won't hear you, but I'll feel it in all of my bones. 00:09:12.740 --> 00:09:16.040 So don't say it too loud. My bones will rattle. 00:09:16.040 --> 00:09:16.880 Hi, Riley.
