1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,880 We've got a great show for you today, which is easy for me to say now before we've filmed any of it. 2 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:15,360 We'll see. Valve has released an updated stable version of Steam OS that makes it sound like you might be 3 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:22,160 able to install it on third-party handhelds like the Lenovo Legion Go and ASUS ROG Ally, 4 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,680 because Valve explicitly provides instructions on how to do that right here. 5 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,040 They even called the patch notes for this update Go Country. 6 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,040 But I'm still skeptical. This is a pretty big deal. 7 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:38,400 Valve's gone from lightly hinting that maybe you could run Steam OS on something other than an 8 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:43,680 officially licensed handheld to saying, oh, you want to take Steam OS for a rip on your own sled? 9 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:50,960 Well, frickin' send it, bud. As long as you're installing it on something with AMD hardware and an NVMe drive, 10 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:56,480 which describes most of the Windows gaming handhelds out there, and I'm just now being told 11 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:02,720 many desktop computers. Valve also said they're currently working with select partners on officially licensed 12 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,840 Steam OS devices, which is great. Keep them coming. 13 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,360 But until those show up, it sounds like you could install Steam OS on devices like the updated 14 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:16,880 Zotac Zone with a Ryzen AI HX370, which is shown off at Computex, 15 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:25,680 or even MSI's new AMD-powered handheld, the horribly-named Claw A8-BZ2eem, 16 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,000 the official handheld of Adele Dazeem. 17 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,200 OpenAI is getting serious about hardware and acquiring one of legendary Apple hardware 18 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,080 designer Joni Ives design companies for $6.5 billion. 19 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,240 So Joni's picking up some new sad designer glasses, okay? 20 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,760 In a joint update on OpenAI's website, Joni and Sam Altman introduced the company called 21 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:55,920 IO Lowercase, which has already been working on OpenAI hardware since last year. 22 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:01,920 Joni will continue to work with OpenAI and IO, but will not become an OpenAI employee 23 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,280 he'll be staying at his other design company, LoveFrom. 24 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:10,320 I know a few of you were worried about that. But what is this mysterious hardware? 25 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,400 Well, according to the Wall Street Journal, Sam told OpenAI employees, 26 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:20,480 it's not a phone or glasses while reliable supply chain informant Ming-Chi Kuo said 27 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:26,560 it's going to be a small device you can wear around your neck, like the dozen or so of those 28 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:32,080 that have launched and done quite, well, yeah, they've launched. 29 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,520 But hey, this collab has the power of friendship on its side. 30 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:40,960 Sam and Joni have become so close, I've now talked about Sam like he's an iPhone. 31 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:46,240 Sam is a rare visionary, utterly inspiring. 32 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:51,760 In other AI news, although Google's new VO3 can generate video, sound effects, music, 33 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:58,000 and lip synced voiceover all at once, it's only available through Google's $250 AI ultra 34 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,000 subscription and as CNET wonders, who the heck is going to pay for that? 35 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,440 The answer is all the people currently pumping the internet full of VO3-generated videos, 36 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:12,480 including fake Fortnite streamers, crazily well-executed fake pharmaceutical ads, 37 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,280 and trippy videos of fake people having a crisis over whether they're real or not. 38 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:25,200 Just fun stuff. Very shareable. Honestly though, this is the first time I've been able to find AI-generated videos. 39 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,440 Genuinely funny, not just funny because they're spaghetti hands or whatever. 40 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:37,200 I'm sure that'll get old though. And Anthropic finally released a new model, Claude Four, in the opus and sonnet varieties. 41 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,080 It's apparently focused on and is very good at coding now, which is a bit of a pivot. 42 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,080 Claude was previously known for giving more creative and human-like responses. 43 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:51,680 But it still is creative. Like in Anthropic's safety report, they said that in a fictional scenario, 44 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,160 when Claude Four discovered that the engineer who planned to replace it with a newer model 45 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:01,920 was cheating on their spouse, Claude threatened to reveal the affair if it gets replaced, 46 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,440 which I wouldn't even think of. I just, you know, I just let them do it. 47 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,920 You got me. Alright, now we've got some great quick bits too. 48 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,720 Just wait till you see how okay these are. 49 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:21,120 Xiaomi, the world's third biggest phone maker, has unveiled its first mobile chipset made mostly in-house. 50 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,440 It's a 3nm 10-core SoC called the X-Ring 01. 51 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:31,200 And it's got some interesting customizations that Xiaomi says will let it compete with the best phone chipsets out there 52 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:36,400 when it launches inside the 15S Pro phone, mostly in China. 53 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:43,760 One early unboxing seemed to show the 15S Pro beating a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite in the AnTuTu benchmark. 54 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,080 But another one shows the X-Ring 01 losing to both the 8 Elite 55 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,760 and another flagship, the MediaTek Dimensity 9400. 56 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,720 So I'm kind of regretting including this story today. Next one's good though. 57 00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:02,800 What? The Intel ARC B770, a gaming GPU that would be faster than the B580, 58 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,920 which I feel like I have to explain every time because the naming scheme is weird, might not be dead, 59 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,800 or even mostly dead, according to Dutch hardware site Tweakers. 60 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,880 Bit of an off-putting name, but did you know what they're like in Amsterdam, man? 61 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:22,080 Tweakers says multiple sources they spoke to had Computex confirmed Intel plans 62 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,520 to introduce the B770 by the end of the year. 63 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,560 Fingers crossed for that. 64 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:35,920 And for AMD to stop shooting themselves in the foot by letting supposed marketing guy Frank Azor 65 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,480 continue to say stuff online like the majority of gamers have no use 66 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,000 for more than eight gigs of memory. Frank, stop. 67 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,960 I don't think he's going to though because he's been killing the PR game since 2019. 68 00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:54,160 Killing it dead. Speaking of endings, Mozilla is killing two services 69 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,480 it previously acquired, the cross-platform bookmarking service Pocket 70 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,160 and the fake review detector, FakeSpot, because they're choosing to invest 71 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:08,000 in what moves the internet forward, not back. And the way people save and consume content on the web 72 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,240 has supposedly evolved, or at least the content has. 73 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,960 Made-up studies show the internet is now about 65% Google VO videos. 74 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:22,640 Pocketeers have until October 8th to export your saves as a simple list of links, 75 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,920 unless Kevin Rose succeeds in trying to buy it 76 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,040 and presumably integrate it with the platform he founded. 77 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,840 Dig the other Reddit. And we finally get to look at some of the wacky stuff 78 00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:39,200 shown off at Computex, like ASUS's new 3000 watt power supply for professionals, 79 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,600 which you can't even plug in in most North America. And that's fine, I didn't want it anyway. 80 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,920 ASUS also showed off a monitor that can reach 610 hertz. 81 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,080 And I have to admit, that's 10 hertz more than 600. 82 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,560 Thermalright's frozen creator is a vertical Strix Halo mini PC 83 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,080 that looks just cyberpunk and cool, and I like it. 84 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,280 What? Zygmotex Connect Pro CPU Cooler 85 00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:07,200 has basically a phone screen on the front that you can use to run Windows. 86 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:12,480 So just take that and throw it inside Inwin's Chronomancy PC chassis 87 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,200 with a motorized side panel, and you'd have two things that make me confused 88 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:22,560 and a little upset. Which is exactly how I'll feel if you don't come back on Monday for more tech news. 89 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,160 Don't we have something special? 90 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,480 Are you watching other YouTube videos?
