1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,720 I know that you came here for tech news. I know that you didn't come for reviews of Walmart's in-house brand baked goods 2 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:11,520 That's for the show. I do after this one. They're all terrible by the way on purpose 3 00:00:11,820 --> 00:00:16,560 Even they don't want you to buy them. Why do you keep buying them? They're like the plastic food you see in Ikea 4 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:25,860 You're not supposed to eat them Anyway, Android laptops and desktop computers are indeed coming as confirmed by Google exec Rick 5 00:00:26,020 --> 00:00:34,100 Osterlo at Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit event this morning after years of intense yearning for such devices by people like me 6 00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:38,900 Who know full well that it would be just like a normal PC, but worse. What's wrong with me? 7 00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:43,260 Somehow I know the Samsung DeX people are already yelling at me in the comments. I said I wanted it 8 00:00:43,260 --> 00:00:47,620 Well Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon doesn't think it would be worse 9 00:00:47,740 --> 00:00:55,760 He's seen this PC version of Android and he a man with a bit of financial interest in the sale of Qualcomm powered Android devices 10 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:02,120 Thinks it's incredible. I trust him. Look at this bro moment between these two Rick smiling 11 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,120 It's like he built Android for PC in his garage 12 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:11,000 This official confirmation follows Google's president of the Android ecosystem Samir Samat 13 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,960 Casually mentioning to tech radar earlier this year that they're combining 14 00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:20,400 Chromo as an Android. Yeah, just you know combining them, you know figured you know 15 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:29,320 Well today Samir confirmed that this synthesis is happening next year. Yes. I mean, I don't care 16 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:37,120 Qualcomm also announced their second gen X series laptop processors the Snapdragon X2 Elite and X2 Elite 17 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:44,640 Extreme the extreme is mostly identical to the vanilla X2 Elite minus some higher clocks 18 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,880 But is significantly different than the X2 Elite the other one 19 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:57,000 With six less cores. Are you confused by my explanation? You should tweet at Qualcomm about it because what is this? 20 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:03,200 Having learned nothing from their previous round of obscenely over-hyped marketing for the first gen X series 21 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:14,240 Which otherwise were pretty cool Qualcomm claims these unreleased chips are the fastest and most efficient processors for Windows PCs period 22 00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:23,520 Fastest it I'm not gonna touch it steam briefly hosted malware earlier this week when an update to the game block blasters 23 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:31,760 Introduced malicious code. Now. It turns out steam doesn't necessarily validate the updates to its otherwise verified games 24 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:38,840 Though it's expected under 500 users were affected the scam made headlines after a Latvian pump dot fun 25 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,920 streamer and cancer patient Rivo 26 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,520 Plavniks aka Rostaland had 27 00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:52,560 $32,000 in crypto stolen after a seven-hour stream which included playing block blasters 28 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:59,520 This isn't even the first time this year a game has been pulled from steam for hosting or redirecting to malware 29 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:05,280 But Plavniks heart-wrenching circumstances elevated the story to mainstream media 30 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:11,080 Fortunately that lost cryptocurrency was actually made up by donations from the community 31 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:18,280 But for its part Valve has delisted block blasters and seems to have notified users who played while the malicious build was active 32 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:25,000 But hasn't mentioned any plans to scan updates for malware because is that like a skin you can get in 33 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,160 Counter-strike or something? I just pretty busy NVIDIA will invest up to 34 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:37,120 $100 billion in open AI raising antitrust concerns as the biggest provider of AI accelerators 35 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,760 Takes a massive stake in one of the biggest AI companies now 36 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:46,600 Although the Trump administration's big beautiful bill took steps to limit the power of AI regulation 37 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,560 The Department of Justice did say last week that protecting competition 38 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:56,840 Supports the AI innovation it wants to encourage so it might be taken a little look see at this deal 39 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,360 Open AI isn't wasting any time though in putting the promised funding to good use 40 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:07,760 It's working with Oracle and SoftBank to build five new data centers for its Stargate initiative 41 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,880 That will bring the total planned capacity to seven gigawatts 42 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:19,480 Seven point no just seven which wired says is roughly the power consumption of seven nuclear reactors 43 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:26,280 Well if the AI bubble isn't bursting quite yet could we at least get some AI tools that are actually useful? 44 00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:32,680 I mean at least Google is still trying to do something interesting with their new Google Labs mix board 45 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:39,680 It's a concepting board app now in beta which is similar to Adobe's firefly boards or fig jam 46 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:46,040 It's meant to explore visual ideas generate mood boards and apparently put googly eyes and a bunch of birds 47 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:52,920 There is also Mindstate design Labs a company with an AI model that makes psychoactive drugs 48 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,520 Without the trip that may not sound like 49 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:05,880 Thing that psychedelic drug enjoyers would enjoy but apparently psychedelics are useful for treating severe mental health conditions like PTSD and 50 00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:11,840 Literally meeting your fears face-to-face in another dimension isn't considered productive treatment 51 00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:19,920 So it's a good thing. It's it's good for the people Maybe not for my weekend plans, but it's good for the people unlike Walmart's house branded baked goods 52 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,320 These quick bits are made with 100% pure news. No 53 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,920 They they don't have any paint thinner in them 54 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:34,880 Which seems like an easy call to make Microsoft has introduced a micro fluidic cooling breakthrough 55 00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:39,920 They're claiming a three times improvement in pulling heat away from the package 56 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:47,160 The chip by first cutting hair-sized channels in the silicon and then running coolant through them 57 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,440 They use AI to map the hotspots and direct the fluid 58 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,600 So we're officially at the point where AI is physically improving itself 59 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,840 Kind of and it's only a matter of time before the missiles are launched 60 00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:03,040 But did you know that if you have the right electric vehicle soon? 61 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:08,760 You could give back some of that sweet delicious power juice back to the grid from whence it came 62 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:15,360 three Ford F-150 lightning owners participated in a residential vehicle to grid or 63 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,360 V2g pilot program this summer offloading unused 64 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:27,280 Electricity between the hours of 5 and 9 p.m. And earning participants up to a thousand dollars over the course of the multi-month trial 65 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:34,480 Not bad for doing nothing but plugging in now for anyone who's privileged enough to charge their EV for free at work 66 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,720 Keep your eye on this one boss makes a dollar. I make a dime 67 00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:43,240 That's why I sell my company's electricity back to the grid to help with my expensive vehicle payments 68 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,600 Hey, speaking of power thanks to Logitech's new solar powered keyboard 69 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:53,640 You don't need an electric vehicle to feel like you're helping the planet the new K980 can use the sun or 70 00:06:54,360 --> 00:07:00,560 artificial light of at least 200 lux to charge the battery for up to four months of use in 71 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:09,640 Complete darkness which should appeal to many of you It costs a hundred bucks and has an AI button that pulls up co-pilot or Gemini depending on your OS 72 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:17,000 Because those are tools that use a lot of power the reason any of this matters is the predecessor of this product 73 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,640 Logitech's K760 came out in 74 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,440 2012 For whoever's been waiting to upgrade 75 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:29,560 I guess it's finally time an origin code is a new player in the DDR5 game 76 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:34,400 And they're off to a great start with the world's fastest high-capacity RAM modules 77 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:41,800 But what really caught my eye is this wild active cooling setup that you can mount on top of the vortex modules 78 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:50,960 Hello performance Goodbye tower cooler compatibility, but apparently it's worth it because they're claiming nearly 40% more heat dissipation 79 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,760 over standard heat spreaders and now it's time for me to spread 80 00:07:55,160 --> 00:08:02,760 My my wings this little bird's gonna fly the coop for now, but don't worry.
