WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.520 Details on NVIDIA's next generation of GPUs, codenamed Blackwell, appear to have been leaked, 00:00:06.520 --> 00:00:11.600 raising the question of whether Team Green can pull off a better redemption than Shawshank. 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. 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 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 00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:35.240 Copight7Kimi elaborated that the upcoming Blackwell GPUs will be cut into five dies, 00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:39.600 the GB202, 203, 5, 6, and 7. 00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.800 That naming is notable for two reasons, lots of numbers today. 00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:47.720 200 series usually represents dies that are re-spins, chips that are built again to be 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 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 00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:09.880 that designation to the die for the 4070 and 4070Ti floor tom symbol. 00:01:09.880 --> 00:01:16.680 Now NVIDIA has replaced the X04 designation with X05, does the higher number here indicate 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:20.960 lower performance as usual, or did NVIDIA just want to chip that accurately reference 00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:29.400 their favorite mambo? 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 00:01:36.160 --> 00:01:41.360 their attempt to preserve music recorded on 78RPM discs, a format that was discontinued 00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:46.080 in 1959. Holy cow, you know you're evil, when? 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, 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 00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:04.280 no chance they'll be lost, forgotten, or destroyed, which you know, press X to doubt. 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. 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:14.400 According to the internet archive, the olden times recording still holds significant research 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:19.680 value, as artifacts and usage evidence, and that's artifacts as in unintentional sounds 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:24.160 and audio recording, not like the Venus of Willendorf. 00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:28.440 This comes only four months after the internet archive lost another copyright lawsuit brought 00:02:28.440 --> 00:02:32.680 on by a group of large publishers who sued the archive for making digital books available 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:37.200 without restriction during the unprecedented global pandemic when most of the world's libraries 00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:40.320 were closed. 00:02:40.320 --> 00:02:44.880 The archive says it plans to appeal the decision apparently unapologetic for their dastardly 00:02:44.880 --> 00:02:49.680 crimes of enabling literacy. 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:54.720 Disney has decided to stop producing physical media in the entire country slash continent 00:02:54.720 --> 00:03:03.320 of Australia because I guess not enough things regularly perish there. 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 00:03:07.480 --> 00:03:12.160 once for something they really want, when you can charge them for one thing they want 00:03:12.160 --> 00:03:17.280 and thousands of things they don't want every month until they die. 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 00:03:21.640 --> 00:03:25.320 to cancel their subscription, it's also because of the cost of manufacturing physical media, 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 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, 00:03:38.760 --> 00:03:44.160 not even including a physical game in their $300 constellation edition, despite including 00:03:44.160 --> 00:03:48.520 a steel book case. 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 00:03:52.920 --> 00:03:56.440 Wake 1 distributed to THQ Nordic is begging for discs. 00:03:56.440 --> 00:04:01.640 Please give us the discs, they're great frisbees. 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:11.120 Dell was found to have misled consumers on monitor prices in June by Australian regulators 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:21.120 who have now issued the company a fine of $6.46 million or $10 million. 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:25.920 From August 2019 to December 2021, Dell's Australian website suggested that shoppers 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:30.360 could get the best price for monitors if they bundled them with other items. 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:35.880 But that best price often turned out to be a much less desirable higher price. 00:04:35.880 --> 00:04:39.200 I totally get where Dell is coming from though, they were probably talking about the best 00:04:39.200 --> 00:04:46.480 price for them. 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:52.000 In other tech companies, Badly News Apple will soon pay up to $500 million to settle 00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:57.200 a class action lawsuit filed in 2020 accusing them of secretly throttling the performance 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 00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:07.280 billion dollars to people complaining you did something wrong. 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 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:20.200 and done though, so this way everybody's happy. 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 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:31.800 a major update for the Apple Watch's 10th anniversary, Watch X, which sounds like porn. 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:36.960 Despite the Roman numeral, the watch won't be a wearable, Hellenic sundial, but a rather 00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:42.280 huge overhaul of the design, including a micro LED display, thinner watch case, magnetic band 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 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:53.160 and is by all reports an extremely minor upgrade to the standard Apple Watch formula. 00:05:54.160 --> 00:06:02.320 Where's Windows 9? Microsoft went micro hard finding vulnerabilities in the industrial automation software Codesys, 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 00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:13.360 for remote code execution and denial of service attacks. 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:17.040 Due to the wide use of the software, these vulnerabilities could have been used to shut 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.760 down important utilities like power plants, which provide the energy that allows you to 00:06:20.760 --> 00:06:25.600 Google why Charona was written out in the middle of the third season of Emmy-winning 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:35.560 TV series, Monk starring Tony Shalu, and Netflix is rolling out public testing of its new 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:44.560 cloud gaming service for select subscribers in Canada and the Yo-Kai. 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 00:06:50.280 --> 00:06:56.160 will be able to stream exactly two games on web browsers on certain TVs, notably not 00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:01.240 including Apple TV because the Apple Store doesn't allow cloud gaming and Tim Cook hates 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 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:15.480 doesn't crap up its own back if a million people log on simultaneously. 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. 00:07:20.960 --> 00:07:24.400 You can sit all together and say nothing while you stare at your phone. 00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:27.960 It's just like dinner at my parents' house. Except my mommy uses an iPad.
