WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.920 It's a brand new week of news, or what us newsies call, 00:00:03.920 --> 00:00:08.800 brand news. In the news biz, you gotta save time as much as possible 00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:14.240 so you never miss a hot scoop. That's why we always, my friend, Mark Gurman, 00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.840 has given more details on Apple's planned low-cost version 00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:21.760 of their upcoming Vision Pro headset. Don't worry, it's still expensive enough 00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:26.440 for you to flex on the poor people who can't afford it. While Gurman already claimed Apple 00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:31.360 would be using lower resolution displays in replacing the M-Series chip with an iPhone processor, 00:00:31.360 --> 00:00:37.840 he now also says that the iSight feature, the revolutionary feature that reveals lifeless simulacra 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:42.120 of your eyes on the external screen when you interact with another human, or attempt to, 00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:46.400 will also be removed from the cheaper model. Notice I didn't say cheap, 00:00:46.400 --> 00:00:52.760 because apparently the company is looking to price the device somewhere between $1,500 and $2,500. 00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:56.760 Speaking of extra months, 00:00:56.760 --> 00:01:01.200 Gurman has also adjusted his prediction for when the new M3 MacBooks will launch 00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:05.960 from this month to early next year. Last time Apple launched new MacBook chip 00:01:05.960 --> 00:01:10.720 so early in the year was 2015. Maybe they should have delayed the iPhone 15 lineup too, 00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:15.800 since yet another issue has been found, this time affecting just the 15 Pro Max. 00:01:15.800 --> 00:01:20.720 Some new owners of the flagship iPhone are reporting screen burn-in on its OLED display 00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:24.880 on social media. I don't know, I'm starting to think that maybe focusing all that effort 00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:28.760 on engineering a $3,500 headset might not have been the best idea. 00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:32.480 Can the Vision Pro get burn-in? It burns onto your eyes. 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:38.120 I'll never forget this 3D hollow memory. Intel has officially announced 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.600 their 14th gen Raptor Lake refresh chips, just in time for them to be released 00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:46.900 on the 17th of October, or what us Newsy's call tomorrow. 00:01:46.900 --> 00:01:51.540 The launch includes three refreshed chips with K and KF versions of each 00:01:51.540 --> 00:01:55.680 that will all be releasing at the same price as their 13th gen predecessors, 00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:00.060 despite predictions of a price increase. But I mean, can you blame them in this economy? 00:02:00.060 --> 00:02:03.580 When the milk restock is rebranded as milk premium? 00:02:03.580 --> 00:02:07.020 Unfortunately, price isn't the only similarity here. 00:02:07.020 --> 00:02:12.620 Core counts are the same as last gen across the board, save for the i7-14700K, 00:02:12.620 --> 00:02:18.100 but all the new chips have higher boost frequencies while staying within the same power envelopes as last gen. 00:02:18.100 --> 00:02:24.340 That's good. Intel also claims that the 14th gen chips will have up to 23% better gaming performance 00:02:24.340 --> 00:02:28.240 than AMD's Ryzen 7000X3D series chips. 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:35.280 Though, according to Tom's hardware, Intel's own benchmarks show an uplift of just 2% on average. 00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.560 For me, 2% only really matters if we're talking milk, 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.840 which is delicious. Home or go home? Home or home or go home? 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:47.360 That doesn't make sense to Americans, sorry. That's 3.25%, but yeah, it's still good. 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:54.160 However, Intel also says their refreshed chips will have up to 54% faster creator workflow 00:02:54.160 --> 00:02:59.720 versus the Ryzen 97950X, which is basically a passing grade on an English exam. 00:02:59.720 --> 00:03:02.960 Intel also announced their AI Assist overclocking plugin 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:08.360 for their extreme tuning utility that uses AI algorithms to help you overclock your processor, 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:11.760 which is helpful for people like me who have no idea what they're doing 00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:16.560 and just enter different numbers in to see what happens. It's like betting your computer on a hand of poker, 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.760 but if you win, it just gets slightly faster. 00:03:20.760 --> 00:03:25.320 And if you lose, you smell burnt tires. It's a bad value proposition. 00:03:25.320 --> 00:03:29.880 AMD is being blamed by gaming handheld company GPD 00:03:29.880 --> 00:03:33.000 for the delay in shipping their new Win Max 2, 00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:38.320 because there's always a reason crowdfunded projects are not on time ever. 00:03:38.320 --> 00:03:43.880 GPD has gone as far as to accuse Team Red of breach of contract because they didn't supply enough 00:03:43.880 --> 00:03:47.040 Ryzen 77840U APUs. 00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:53.720 Like all the best stories involving delayed products, GPD posted an update on the Win Max 2's Indiegogo page 00:03:53.720 --> 00:03:58.920 saying that AMD did not deliver enough of the chips to GPD's upstream supplier, 00:03:58.920 --> 00:04:04.440 and therefore they didn't receive their expected second batch of APUs to fulfill backer orders. 00:04:04.440 --> 00:04:09.640 According to GPD themselves, all configurations with 32 gigs or 64 gigs of memory 00:04:09.640 --> 00:04:13.920 and two terabytes of storage are affected. And GPD seems to have no estimate 00:04:13.920 --> 00:04:17.040 for when affected orders will be delivered. According to video cards, 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:20.200 these sorts of posts from board and OEM partners are rare, 00:04:20.200 --> 00:04:23.200 probably because most partners know to fear the Android 00:04:23.200 --> 00:04:27.760 known as Dr. Lisa Sue and the laser beams she shoots from her eyes. 00:04:27.760 --> 00:04:31.360 With the calming regality of Mufasa's spirit. 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:36.360 Simba, now it's time for quick bits. 00:04:36.400 --> 00:04:39.680 Is that okay? NVIDIA is hell bent on pushing the envelope 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:43.160 regarding what level of chunk is acceptable for graphics cards, 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:48.880 but one intrepid modder has had enough. A Redditor going by Tech Taxi slapped the cooler 00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:52.680 of a two-slot Gainword RTX 4070 Ghost OC 00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:57.400 onto the PCB of a Gainword RTX 4080 Phoenix GX, 00:04:57.400 --> 00:05:02.240 resulting in, astonishingly, a normal size graphics card. 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:07.000 What? The smallest commercially available RTX 4080 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.160 is the two and a half slot ASUS ProArt model, 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:15.440 but hopefully the extensive performance data Tech Taxi included in his post proves to NVIDIA 00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:20.960 that it is, in fact, still possible to make graphics cards that can fit in your freezer. 00:05:20.960 --> 00:05:28.040 That's the part where you ask me, why the freezer? And I say, nah, shh, oh, I'm not telling you. 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:34.640 That's where I keep my GPUs. Google's VP of Engineering for Android, Dave Burke, 00:05:34.640 --> 00:05:39.480 announced in a Reddit AMA last week that the Pixel 8 and other OEMs will be able 00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:42.880 to support lossless audio output over USB-C. 00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:47.040 According to Burke, while Android 14 supports the feature in software, 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.040 any Android phones need baked-in hardware support 00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:53.240 to make the magic happen. Something Burke didn't mention 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:57.040 is the Pixel 8's support for display over USB-C, 00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:00.280 which it has, at least if you root your phone 00:06:00.280 --> 00:06:03.760 to get around the block that Google put on it, 00:06:03.760 --> 00:06:07.440 for some reason, why? Someone needs to organize an intervention 00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:10.920 for Google to address their addiction to killing features and services. 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:14.840 They're like Dexter over here, it's not healthy. We're concerned. 00:06:14.840 --> 00:06:20.120 Another interesting bit from Mark Germanson's recent revelations concerns an Apple system 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:25.000 that will allow retail store staff to wirelessly update sealed iPhones. 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:30.880 The system consists of a pad-like device that will turn on iPhones even inside unopened boxes, 00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:36.080 run an update, then turn the phone back off. It feels somehow perfectly Apple 00:06:36.080 --> 00:06:39.520 to know that Tim Cook got his engineers to create groundbreaking new tech 00:06:39.520 --> 00:06:44.080 so your mom won't have to update her new iPhone on Christmas. Because that's like half the morning gone. 00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:46.760 You can't keep your mom happy, Tim Cook will. 00:06:47.760 --> 00:06:50.120 Come on, Barbara, we're going to Denny's. 00:06:53.320 --> 00:06:56.600 A brand new RTX 4090 Founders Edition graphics card 00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:01.560 has been killed by a literal bug, you know, the kind with wings and six legs. 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:05.160 You'd see more of them if you went outside. In a senseless kamikaze attack, 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:10.160 an insect somehow crawled under this card's AD102 GPU chip, 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.700 like the actual GPU. Luckily, the card was brought back to life 00:07:13.700 --> 00:07:17.360 by the removal of the bug and the repair of a minor component. 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:22.000 But sadly, the bug did not survive. Finally enough, the first known computer bug 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:27.000 was also an actual insect. Back in 1946, the Harvard Computation Lab 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:31.080 suffered a metaphorical bug when a moth got trapped inside a relay. 00:07:31.080 --> 00:07:34.040 Relays were bigger back then. What the heck was that? What is this, TechWiki? 00:07:34.080 --> 00:07:39.600 IntelliHealth Platform's simple practice is warning patients that Apple's new video reactions 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.640 in FaceTime might result in call participants 00:07:42.640 --> 00:07:47.880 accidentally adding a heart emoji or virtual confetti during an awkward moment. 00:07:47.880 --> 00:07:53.520 The reactions are enabled by default and eight of them can be set off just by hand gestures. 00:07:53.520 --> 00:07:56.560 It might be nice to get two thumbs up from your therapist 00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:00.280 for managing to take a shower today, but a round of virtual fireworks 00:08:00.280 --> 00:08:04.680 just makes it seem sarcastic. Great job, nice. 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:08.680 Oh, God, where's my next client? Ha ha ha ha. 00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:14.640 But I'm not being sarcastic when I say you should come back on Wednesday for more tech news. 00:08:14.640 --> 00:08:17.080 Shower or not, we don't care.
