WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.440 Intel has officially announced they are changing their processor branding dropping their eyes like an awkward teenager asking the popular girl to prom 00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:19.080 It me Riley this is TechLinked and you may not be bothered by Intel's new core and core ultra branded chips yet, but 00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:21.440 You will be 00:00:25.520 --> 00:00:31.880 Intel hinted to the verge that core ultra chips will have bigger feature sets arc level integrated graphics 00:00:32.080 --> 00:00:38.360 AI capabilities and even the absolute best performance. That's right. You name a buzzword and the ultra has it 00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:46.960 this isn't the only change as we referenced earlier their iconic tier numbers like i7 and i9 are becoming a much less Apple like 00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:51.400 seven and nine introducing phone 00:00:51.400 --> 00:00:58.080 15 pro Imagine Christopher Hirsch Intel's director of product branding says the question is no longer 00:00:58.360 --> 00:01:06.880 Am I an i7 guy? Am I an i9 guy? It's now. Are you an ultra buyer or are you a core buyer? 00:01:08.440 --> 00:01:12.800 As we'll go to the flea market I 00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:18.280 Guess the eyes kept away the non guys well 00:01:18.800 --> 00:01:27.760 That's a surprise. Alright, we're rhyming It's too early for rhyming and the branding change gets even worse Intel will now put the processor number after the word 00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:34.240 Processor meaning the company expects customers to speak sentences like hello. I would like to buy an Intel core 00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:40.760 Ultra 9 processor 1070k which was an awful physical experience for my mouth just now 00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.360 The changes will take effect with a launch of Meteor Lake later this year 00:01:44.360 --> 00:01:48.320 So enjoy the mouthfeel of Intel's current branding while you still can 00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:57.640 Twitch is introducing partner plus a program that will allow anyone to earn 70% of their subscription revenue with several notable caveats 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:04.680 First of all by anyone twitch means anyone with 350 recurring subscriptions for a period of at least three consecutive months 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:09.760 That should have been obvious, but which is kind of like saying hey anyone can win the lottery 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:16.240 Yeah, technically, it's true But you're more likely to get hit by lightning and run over by a car on the way to buy the ticket 00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:22.960 Know your limit play within it. I did not especially since twitch prime subscriptions and gift subscriptions 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:28.880 Arguably the most common types of subscriptions don't count towards the 350 sub goal 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:37.960 But once you achieve it for those three months You are automatically enrolled in partner plus for the next 12 months until you hit the hundred thousand dollar cap 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:39.960 Don't get too rich 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:47.880 Yes, okay naturally the reactions to this announcement have been mixed longtime streamer 00:02:47.880 --> 00:02:51.920 Harris Heller was expressing his consternation with twitch's monetization 00:02:52.440 --> 00:03:00.400 Okay, I'll accept it when Seth Hendricks the creative and editorial director of twitch literally entered the chat to tell 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:07.480 Heller that he didn't think heller was wrong per se. He just had so many assumptions that are so way off 00:03:09.480 --> 00:03:15.800 Poor Hendricks couldn't figure out that's the same thing which might explain why twitch has made so many poor decisions recently 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:22.280 They don't know what words mean Hendricks proceeded to spend 10 minutes spamming the chat to the point where a fed-up heller 00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:28.000 Finally tried to ban Hendricks only to find out you can't ban twitch employees 00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:30.480 So he just ended the stream 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:37.160 Because at twitch we believe that interfering with your ability to make money on our platform requires a 00:03:37.640 --> 00:03:46.320 Personal touch will come screw up your stream And the EU Parliament has approved comprehensive regulation to the region's battery market to make it a 00:03:47.160 --> 00:03:49.160 battery market 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:57.520 The legislation which comes from a proposal made over two years ago is meant to ensure batteries can be repurposed 00:03:58.160 --> 00:04:04.440 remanufactured or recycled once all the battery juice has been squeezed out one of the big changes for consumers will be that device 00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:09.840 Manufacturers must design batteries so users can themselves easily remove and replace them 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:16.760 Instead of having to send your phone to some blue-shirted group of jerks that call themselves geniuses because they think they're better than you 00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:23.080 Other changes include requiring EV batteries to declare their carbon footprint and eventually giving them a fancy 00:04:23.400 --> 00:04:29.200 Digital battery passport starting in 2026 that will hold information on the battery model such as 00:04:29.960 --> 00:04:31.960 Cars would have feet 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:41.280 What footprint oh my gosh, that was so long ago. It's way too slow such as which side is its best side for taking photos 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:48.000 That would be a passport photo joke if you didn't take passport photos face forward 00:04:49.840 --> 00:04:53.400 The passport will also contain information specific 00:04:53.400 --> 00:04:57.920 The passport will also contain information specific to the individual battery and its use 00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:04.600 But before this all becomes actual law the EU council will need to formally endorse the text before its 00:05:04.760 --> 00:05:12.600 Publication in the EU official journal shortly after and its entry into force like Obi-Wan or in American still cooking 00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:19.960 Digger ain't going off you Jacob would love to write our smaller stories as little songs and call them quick hits 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:27.960 But Linus said we don't have the budget Started on licensing it's a whole mess CEO of reddit Steve Huffman aka 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:35.600 Huff Huff pass is standing firm on the platform's controversial API changes Huffman has stated that reddit was 00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:42.480 Never designed to support third-party apps despite doing exactly that for ten years already based on my personal experience 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.560 Reddit also wasn't designed to support first-party apps 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:55.220 Oh Despite stating that they wouldn't unilaterally reopen communities that are closed for the protest reddit has 00:05:55.640 --> 00:06:03.040 Implied that moderators of protesting subreddits may be replaced to keep the site open and accessible to users 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:10.320 And that's what the users want I mean look at all these incredibly recent one word five-star reviews 00:06:10.320 --> 00:06:14.920 We're not saying reddit is paying for these reviews, but if they are they aren't buying enough 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:22.840 Their average is still 3.6 Steam has received a major update looking even better than my mom did when I took her to prom 00:06:24.080 --> 00:06:30.120 It's been given a bunch of new features including a cloud-based notes function and the ability to pin Windows in-game 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:37.280 Which even allows you to watch movies while you play of course the biggest improvements are in the back end since there's new shared 00:06:37.400 --> 00:06:40.240 Codebase between steam desktop big picture mode and 00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:49.520 I wish and Steam Deck just like a rom-com makeover the most important change happens on the inside 00:06:51.080 --> 00:06:53.480 Turns out Matthew McConaughey isn't a 00:06:54.280 --> 00:07:00.800 Group of 17 music publishers in the US has sued Twitter for allegedly enabling copyright violations 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:07.320 What how? Apparently the platform was in talks to license music rights before Elon Musk bought the platform and 00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:11.240 Fired 75% of its staff bringing new meaning to the phrase 00:07:11.640 --> 00:07:14.080 Everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked 00:07:15.960 --> 00:07:22.120 A phrase everyone knows Another new change is the platform has been evicted from one of their offices in Boulder, Colorado 00:07:22.400 --> 00:07:26.840 After failing to pay rent speech may be free to Twitter, but real estate 00:07:27.960 --> 00:07:36.320 It's not so Japanese company Astroscale plans on offering a space cleanup service that will remove defunct satellites from Earth's orbit 00:07:36.320 --> 00:07:39.680 And no this is not actually an indie game that just launched on steam 00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:46.080 It's an opportune time since both the FCC and the World Economic Forum seem to agree that space operators 00:07:46.200 --> 00:07:51.840 Should dispose of their unused equipment within five years following end of mission. You got five years. Is that fair? 00:07:52.720 --> 00:08:01.440 Just throw it in the garbage It can stay on the ground for five years, and then it's ridiculous in an animation Astroscale shows how their Elsa M 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:03.920 Servicer frozen fans will decay the 00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:09.760 Let it go I can't will decay the orbits of dead satellites 00:08:09.760 --> 00:08:14.880 Causing them to crash towards Earth and burn up in the atmosphere in what must be the most violent 00:08:15.080 --> 00:08:21.480 Implementation of the Con Marie method, which is Marie Kondo spark joy etc. That's what she 00:08:24.400 --> 00:08:29.200 And Diablo 4 players have yet to find the game's secret cow level 00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.160 Which has featured in every other entry in the franchise 00:08:32.560 --> 00:08:37.240 Developers at Blizzard have suggested this may be because the level does not exist 00:08:37.400 --> 00:08:44.520 Maybe maybe it's not there guys despite the disappointing news from Blizzard hopeful gamers believe the company is just trying to 00:08:44.520 --> 00:08:48.920 Mislead them and prevent them from fully enjoying their game, which seems to be Blizzard's job 00:08:49.160 --> 00:08:55.880 Honestly, it's perfectly believable since Blizzard had personally sucked the fun out of every other one of their IPs at least once 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:59.840 That's the secret to keeping things fresh regular doses of disappointment 00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:08.240 It's called subverting expectations the sequel sucked and now you appreciate what we give you okay 00:09:08.400 --> 00:09:13.400 I'm talking about Star Wars, but you won't be disappointed if you come back on Monday for more tech news 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:19.960 We're very excited to reveal that Mondays episode will feature someone standing in front of a camera trying 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.680 Desperately to be funny while they talk about tech news
