WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.360 Wow, tech news! 00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:12.000 Ha ha, gotcha! Don't do the blood, it's gross Images of the Xbox branded handheld, known as Project Canon, have leaked 00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:16.400 And so have images of the ASUS ROG Ally 2 00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:19.740 Coincidence? I think not! Ha ha ha 00:00:19.740 --> 00:00:23.560 Because it looks like they're just... The same device 00:00:23.560 --> 00:00:28.920 An Indonesian regulatory listing for the handheld it was first spotted by 91 mobiles 00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:34.400 and then connected to an FCC listing, which included photos of white and black variants 00:00:34.400 --> 00:00:38.280 of the devices taken by someone who was apparently trying to disguise them 00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:43.320 by making them look as gross as possible. I hope this person gets medical attention soon 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.920 because they appear to suffer from a condition that makes their fingers sweat dust. 00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:53.640 The leaked listings also revealed one variant has a Ryzen Z2 chip with 16 gigs of memory 00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:57.200 and another has a Z2 Extreme with 32 gigs. 00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:02.320 Jez Corden at Windows Central, who was first to get the word out about Project Kennan, 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:08.080 thinks we may learn more about both of these devices at Computex and I am looking forward to it 00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:11.520 because despite looking like just black and white variants 00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:15.840 of the same device, the black one pretty clearly has an Xbox button 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:23.000 while the white one does not. Now old Jez also claimed a proper first party Xbox handheld 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.600 coming in 2027 alongside a new traditional console, 00:01:26.600 --> 00:01:30.360 but these handhelds are probably both just gonna run Windows. 00:01:30.360 --> 00:01:32.440 So what are they? 00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:36.480 Xbox PCs, which is a thing now apparently. 00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:41.440 Ah, we'll just have to wait to find out whether these devices are two sides of the same coin 00:01:41.440 --> 00:01:46.440 or just one side of a one-sided coin. 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:50.800 Microsoft officially announced two new Surface devices, 00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:54.960 a 13-inch Surface laptop and 12-inch Surface Pro 00:01:54.960 --> 00:01:58.400 that are a bit cheaper than the existing 13.8-inch laptop 00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.600 and 13-inch Pro because they're worse. 00:02:01.600 --> 00:02:06.240 Both devices are only available with eight core Snapdragon X plus chips 00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:10.200 and don't have magnetic Surface Connect charging ports anymore. 00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:15.280 They both come with a decent 16 gigs of RAM, which is good because it's the only option. 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.480 The 13-inch laptop starts at 900 USD 00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:21.600 while the 12-inch Surface Pro starts at 800 00:02:21.600 --> 00:02:26.680 instead of 940 for the 13-inch, but its keyboard lies flat now 00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:31.440 instead of ergonomically popping up. And the keyboard also can't be used as storage 00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:36.080 for the Surface Slim Pen, which now sticks to the back of the tablet 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:39.840 like a hastily hidden piece of gum. But don't worry if you lose it 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.520 because it popped off while shoving your expensive device into your backpack. 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.840 It's super easy to purchase replacements on the Microsoft Store 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.240 where the keyboard still costs an extra 150 bucks 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.680 and you can pick up a 45 watt charger for $70 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:57.800 if you maybe need to charge your laptop for some reason. 00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.400 That launch video sure was fun though, Microsoft kudos for that. 00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:07.160 A New York Magazine article has gotten some traction for describing how for many students, 00:03:07.160 --> 00:03:11.960 University is now basically a place to test their ability to use AI. 00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:16.200 The article partially follows Roy Lee, the guy behind that AI app 00:03:16.200 --> 00:03:22.880 that promises to help you cheat at everything, except the use case explicitly shown in their ad, 00:03:22.880 --> 00:03:26.280 which maybe says something about the critical thinking development 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:31.920 that is being missed by these students using AI to write large chunks of their essays for them. 00:03:31.920 --> 00:03:35.320 Like this student, who is asked by writer James D. Walsh 00:03:35.320 --> 00:03:41.120 if she recognizes the irony in depending so heavily on AI to write her paper, 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:46.440 which is about school hindering students' cognitive ability to think critically. 00:03:46.440 --> 00:03:51.280 She acknowledges the risk, but then essentially says there's no putting the genie back in this bottle. 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.280 That's okay. This university crisis has been covered 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.160 for years at this point, but nothing seems to have significantly changed, 00:03:58.160 --> 00:04:02.320 possibly because at least in North America, we're kind of in a crisis 00:04:02.320 --> 00:04:06.280 over what university is for and what it should look like. 00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:10.240 Many go to college just looking for a rubber stamp so they can get a better job. 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:14.400 A job that verified Twitter accounts are constantly saying we'll be gone soon, 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:20.560 along with our critical thinking skills. But hey, at least we made some funny AI memes along the way. 00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.040 That's what it's all about. 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:30.120 I'll have quick bits, dry, shake it up and don't stutter around. 00:04:31.320 --> 00:04:34.400 I'm not really a big bond guy. I don't know what that... 00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:40.080 NVIDIA has revealed the official release date of the RTX 5060 May 19th. 00:04:40.080 --> 00:04:43.920 Just don't hold your breath because it's got eight gigabytes of VRAM 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.120 and hardware unboxed found that the eight Gigabyte version 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.360 of the RTX 5060 Ti performed worse 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:54.040 than the Intel Arc B580, which is much cheaper. 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:59.400 Thankfully, videocards.com spotted a listing for AMD's own 60-tier card, 00:04:59.400 --> 00:05:03.800 the RX 9060XT with 16 gigabytes of VRAM, 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:08.800 which is at least double that of the number eight. 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:15.360 In a time when every company is upping prices, Intel has announced a $100 price cut 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:20.120 for its core Ultra7 265K and KF desktop processors, 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.800 which was greeted by fans with cries of, 00:05:23.960 --> 00:05:31.360 should have been that price when you launched it. Oh man, this is the coolest thing since the Core 2 Duo. 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:36.920 No, not the Intel processor. The new smartwatch from pebble creator, Eric Migakovsky, 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:41.440 which he showed off in a podcast he called TikTok, spelled differently though. 00:05:41.440 --> 00:05:46.120 This guy's big into stepping on other brands toes. NVIDIA and MediaTek may show off 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:52.360 their ARM-based Windows PC processor, codenamed N1, at Computex in mid-May. 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:55.760 According to mysterious sources who spoke to German outlet, 00:05:55.760 --> 00:05:58.360 computer-based, possibly in German. 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.760 But our team could not confirm that. 00:06:04.760 --> 00:06:08.680 A company called Physical Intelligence has shown off household robots 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:12.000 powered by their new Pi-05 AI model, 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:16.520 following spoken instructions and successfully performing household tasks 00:06:16.520 --> 00:06:19.560 in several Arabian Bs they had never seen before. 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.640 A use case I know is not in the Arabian B terms 00:06:22.640 --> 00:06:25.880 and conditions I'm suing. But to really be a part of the family, 00:06:25.880 --> 00:06:30.960 these bots will need a sense of touch, which Amazon just added to their warehouse robots. 00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:35.640 Although Amazon added it so they can feel pain and thus be punished properly for missing their quota. 00:06:35.640 --> 00:06:40.040 It's a bit different. The researchers at Oregon State University have discovered a new species 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:46.960 of electrically conducting bacteria they've called electrophryx yakonensis. 00:06:46.960 --> 00:06:50.000 Maybe we can use these to make better biomedical devices 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.080 or use them instead of wires. 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:59.200 Why? Look, I don't know, but it makes more sense than electrocuting bugs into playing music. 00:06:59.200 --> 00:07:04.360 And you know what would be music to my ears? You coming back here on Friday for more tech news. 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:06.840 I can almost hear it. 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:10.040 Nope, that's the bugs.
