00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,520
Details on NVIDIA's next generation of GPUs, codenamed Blackwell, appear to have been leaked,

2
00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:11,600
raising the question of whether Team Green can pull off a better redemption than Shawshank.

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,880
Let's hope the answer isn't Z-Watt and A-No, that's a deep cut.

4
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:22,680
I'm James Schreib. This is TechLink, and this is the ChipHell forum post where Leaker, Panzerleid, posted

5
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:30,120
the numbers 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7. Before you think Panzerleid forgot how to count, Liverpool FC fan and hardware leaker

6
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:35,240
Copight7Kimi elaborated that the upcoming Blackwell GPUs will be cut into five dies,

7
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,600
the GB202, 203, 5, 6, and 7.

8
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,800
That naming is notable for two reasons, lots of numbers today.

9
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:47,720
200 series usually represents dies that are re-spins, chips that are built again to be

10
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:55,120
better, faster, costlier. Also, there is no 4 variant, which is typically meant to be used for the best bang for the

11
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:00,160
buck GPU, I guess that doesn't exist anymore, until NVIDIA decided to prank us by giving

12
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:09,880
that designation to the die for the 4070 and 4070Ti floor tom symbol.

13
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:16,680
Now NVIDIA has replaced the X04 designation with X05, does the higher number here indicate

14
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,960
lower performance as usual, or did NVIDIA just want to chip that accurately reference

15
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:29,400
their favorite mambo?

16
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:36,160
Hey no lubega voice. A group of six music labels, including Sony and UMG, is suing the internet archive over

17
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:41,360
their attempt to preserve music recorded on 78RPM discs, a format that was discontinued

18
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,080
in 1959. Holy cow, you know you're evil, when?

19
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:51,360
The archive's great 78 project is trying to save the work of Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald,

20
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:58,560
Frank Sinatra, and many other talented dead people. But the labels argue that because the preserved songs are already available to stream, there's

21
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:04,280
no chance they'll be lost, forgotten, or destroyed, which you know, press X to doubt.

22
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:10,560
You only can stream one version usually when there's a remaster, that's what you get.

23
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,400
According to the internet archive, the olden times recording still holds significant research

24
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,680
value, as artifacts and usage evidence, and that's artifacts as in unintentional sounds

25
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,160
and audio recording, not like the Venus of Willendorf.

26
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,440
This comes only four months after the internet archive lost another copyright lawsuit brought

27
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,680
on by a group of large publishers who sued the archive for making digital books available

28
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,200
without restriction during the unprecedented global pandemic when most of the world's libraries

29
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,320
were closed.

30
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,880
The archive says it plans to appeal the decision apparently unapologetic for their dastardly

31
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,680
crimes of enabling literacy.

32
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,720
Disney has decided to stop producing physical media in the entire country slash continent

33
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:03,320
of Australia because I guess not enough things regularly perish there.

34
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,480
The House of Mouse is instead going full throttle on Disney Plus because why charge a customer

35
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,160
once for something they really want, when you can charge them for one thing they want

36
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:17,280
and thousands of things they don't want every month until they die.

37
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,640
Obviously this isn't just about getting people to sign up for Disney Plus and then getting

38
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:25,320
to cancel their subscription, it's also because of the cost of manufacturing physical media,

39
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:31,640
which I'm sure is only near zero. Disney has also pulled physical releases from some countries in Latin America and Asia where

40
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:38,760
the sales numbers were underwhelming. Unfortunately for some, this trend extends beyond movies with upcoming games like Starfield,

41
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:44,160
not even including a physical game in their $300 constellation edition, despite including

42
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,520
a steel book case.

43
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,920
Alan Wake 2 is an example of a big budget game releasing digital only and even Alan

44
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,440
Wake 1 distributed to THQ Nordic is begging for discs.

45
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,640
Please give us the discs, they're great frisbees.

46
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:11,120
Dell was found to have misled consumers on monitor prices in June by Australian regulators

47
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:21,120
who have now issued the company a fine of $6.46 million or $10 million.

48
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,920
From August 2019 to December 2021, Dell's Australian website suggested that shoppers

49
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,360
could get the best price for monitors if they bundled them with other items.

50
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,880
But that best price often turned out to be a much less desirable higher price.

51
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,200
I totally get where Dell is coming from though, they were probably talking about the best

52
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:46,480
price for them.

53
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:52,000
In other tech companies, Badly News Apple will soon pay up to $500 million to settle

54
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,200
a class action lawsuit filed in 2020 accusing them of secretly throttling the performance

55
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:04,080
of older iPhone models. Dell maintains that they did nothing wrong, a claim totally consistent with paying a half

56
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,280
billion dollars to people complaining you did something wrong.

57
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:12,480
The 3 million claimants involved in the lawsuit could receive about $65 each once all is said

58
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:20,200
and done though, so this way everybody's happy.

59
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:26,480
In other Apple news, according to a man whose name rhymes with Dark Merman, Apple is planning

60
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,800
a major update for the Apple Watch's 10th anniversary, Watch X, which sounds like porn.

61
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,960
Despite the Roman numeral, the watch won't be a wearable, Hellenic sundial, but a rather

62
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:42,280
huge overhaul of the design, including a micro LED display, thinner watch case, magnetic band

63
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:48,360
attachment system, and a blood pressure monitor. That's gonna be weird for the 9th model of the Apple Watch, which isn't even out yet

64
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,160
and is by all reports an extremely minor upgrade to the standard Apple Watch formula.

65
00:05:54,160 --> 00:06:02,320
Where's Windows 9? Microsoft went micro hard finding vulnerabilities in the industrial automation software Codesys,

66
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:09,520
objectively the sexiest kind of software. In both a presentation and a blog post, Microsoft stated these vulnerabilities could be used

67
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,360
for remote code execution and denial of service attacks.

68
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,040
Due to the wide use of the software, these vulnerabilities could have been used to shut

69
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,760
down important utilities like power plants, which provide the energy that allows you to

70
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,600
Google why Charona was written out in the middle of the third season of Emmy-winning

71
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:35,560
TV series, Monk starring Tony Shalu, and Netflix is rolling out public testing of its new

72
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:44,560
cloud gaming service for select subscribers in Canada and the Yo-Kai.

73
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:50,280
Netflix has had mobile games since last November, but now a random handful of Brits and Canucks

74
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:56,160
will be able to stream exactly two games on web browsers on certain TVs, notably not

75
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:01,240
including Apple TV because the Apple Store doesn't allow cloud gaming and Tim Cook hates

76
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:06,800
Joy. To be clear, this is less about exclusivity and more about making sure that the new system

77
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:15,480
doesn't crap up its own back if a million people log on simultaneously.

78
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:20,960
And you should get your friends all on simultaneously to watch this Wednesday's episode of TechLink.

79
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,400
You can sit all together and say nothing while you stare at your phone.

80
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,960
It's just like dinner at my parents' house. Except my mommy uses an iPad.
