WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.160 Welcome to the jungle. And by the jungle, I mean the tech news. 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:09.200 And by the tech news, I mean the jungle. 00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:13.880 Intel revealed some exciting new details about its upcoming Lunar Lake laptop chips 00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:18.000 at Computex earlier this week, including redesigned e-cores 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.280 with up to 68% higher instructions per clock. 00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:25.800 Performance cores are up only 14%, but laptops are all about battery life now. 00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.840 Ankle socks aren't cool anymore. We're back to tall socks. 00:00:28.840 --> 00:00:33.280 Things change, keep up. Lunar Lake will likewise use integrated memory 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:38.240 on the package, similar to Apple's M1 and various other mobile SoCs. 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:45.040 Lunar Lake will also be the first product from Intel to include their new Z2 battle mage GPU architecture, 00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:49.000 which will apparently have up to 50% of performance gains. 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.360 This bodes well for the next generation of discrete Intel graphics cards, 00:00:53.360 --> 00:00:58.120 as well as the upcoming MSI claw eight AI plus, 00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:02.920 because of course it's called that, and Zotac zone Windows gaming handhelds. 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:08.400 Altogether, the Lunar Lake platform offers a total of 120 trillions of operations per second, 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.800 AKA tops with 48 tops just from the NPU, 00:01:12.800 --> 00:01:16.160 easily clearing Microsoft's 40 tops requirement 00:01:16.160 --> 00:01:20.880 for next gen AI PCs. There is a slight caveat, however, 00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:24.520 in that almost none of the Intel designed chiplets 00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:28.200 in Lunar Lake will be manufactured by Intel's Foundry. 00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:32.880 They'll be fabricated by TSMC. According to Intel CEO, Pat Gelsinger, 00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:35.880 of Pat Gelsinger fame, he needs no introduction. 00:01:35.880 --> 00:01:41.360 TSMC simply had better process technology at the time that Intel was designing these chiplets. 00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:47.480 Next year's Panther Lake, however, rar, will be largely fabricated in house. 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:51.560 I told you we were going in the jungle. And it's exactly that kind of grace 00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:55.720 and self-assured humility that has made Pat Gelsinger the industry giant 00:01:55.720 --> 00:02:00.720 and undeniable sex symbol he is today. Whistling, bat. 00:02:00.720 --> 00:02:08.360 Google's longstanding chief privacy officer, Keith Enright, and head of competition law, Matthew By, 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:12.840 will be going Matthew By-By and leave in the company later this year. 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:16.440 Further, there doesn't seem to be any plans to replace them. 00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:20.240 Google is reportedly restructuring its privacy and legal compliance teams 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.920 to spread privacy policy responsibility throughout the company, 00:02:23.920 --> 00:02:27.320 rather than concentrating it in just one office. 00:02:27.320 --> 00:02:30.760 This sounds very familiar, open AI, cough cough. 00:02:30.760 --> 00:02:36.760 But as the DOJ just finished closing arguments in a major antitrust lawsuit against Google, 00:02:36.760 --> 00:02:40.480 it seems like an odd time for it to replace its legal leadership 00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:46.000 with a Nest Mini taped to a standing fan. But then it's an overall awkward time for Google. 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:51.400 As their recently rolled out AI overviews for search have apparently been significantly rolled back. 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.240 At one point, these overviews appeared in around 84% of searches, 00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.960 but that was reduced to around 15% of queries, 00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.480 even prior to the glue-based pizza sauce incident. 00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:05.520 This lower profile for the feature is probably for the best, 00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.800 both for regular users and Google's PR team. 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:13.360 But it's a devastating blow to fans of unhinged culinary recommendations 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:17.320 and dangerous medical advice. Where are they gonna get it now? 00:03:17.320 --> 00:03:21.000 Everywhere else on the internet? We should take over. 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:26.280 Stick your finger in your eye. Microsoft has announced it will be testing new features 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:31.600 for Windows 10, despite the fact that the OS is supposed to be near the end of its life 00:03:31.600 --> 00:03:34.600 and unpaid security updates are supposed to end 00:03:34.600 --> 00:03:40.560 in October of next year. Microsoft has consequently reopened the Windows 10 beta channel 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:44.600 and will be pushing the first beta build since 2021 00:03:44.600 --> 00:03:48.280 in the next few weeks. Any new features that pass through that beta 00:03:48.320 --> 00:03:53.560 will then be added to 22H2, Windows 10's last major update. 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:59.960 Windows 10 remains more than twice as popular as Windows 11, despite Microsoft's stalwart determination 00:03:59.960 --> 00:04:02.960 to make fetch happen in no small part 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:07.240 due to the company's insistence on pushing features that most users don't care about 00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:13.480 and a large subset of users actively despise. For instance, Microsoft recently closed a Windows 11 loophole 00:04:13.480 --> 00:04:18.000 that allowed users to use a local account and avoid signing into a Microsoft account 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:23.200 if they set up their PC using a blocked email. Even if you don't use Windows though, 00:04:23.200 --> 00:04:26.640 there will be no escaping Microsoft's AI co-pilot, 00:04:26.640 --> 00:04:29.720 which they plan to launch for customer service call centers, 00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:33.440 which basically means you'll still be stuck talking to an unhelpful robot, 00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:36.960 but it will now be a Microsoft branded unhelpful robot. 00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:41.080 Quick bits are like a box of chocolates. They're quick, snacky, and loaded with calories. 00:04:41.080 --> 00:04:45.880 NVIDIA has introduced a sizing guideline to allow consumers to more easily tell 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:50.080 if their graphics cards will fit into smaller form factor PC cases. 00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:53.800 Though it doesn't bode well that the guidelines real full name is 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:58.080 SFF Ready Enthusiast GeForce Cards and Compatible Cases. 00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:04.440 Yet the guidelines specs allow for cards to take up two and a half PCIe slots, which is surprising. 00:05:04.440 --> 00:05:10.520 Though not as surprising as a woman asking NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang, to sign her chest. 00:05:10.520 --> 00:05:15.480 That's not a joke. I just needed you to know that happened. That's part of my trip to Taiwan. 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:20.080 Google has rushed to reassure pixel owners that it won't confiscate their phones 00:05:20.080 --> 00:05:24.520 if third party components are found inside while repairing them, which is great 00:05:24.520 --> 00:05:29.640 because that wouldn't make any sense. Yet that very scenario was described 00:05:29.640 --> 00:05:34.440 in Google's repair terms and conditions, as discovered by Lewis Rossman echoing 00:05:34.440 --> 00:05:37.680 Samsung's similar policy, which was discovered a couple weeks ago. 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:40.960 Google says they're updating their terms to clarify this, 00:05:40.960 --> 00:05:46.480 but it's been over 24 hours and the language is still there, which means untold numbers of pixel phones 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.880 are still being sucked up by the giant pixel vacuum 00:05:49.880 --> 00:05:53.280 at these repair shops. Only you can save them, Google. 00:05:53.280 --> 00:05:58.800 Multiple major hospitals in London wound up cancelling non-essential operations 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:02.920 and diverting emergency patients following a major cyber attack 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:08.400 against pathology service provider, Sinovus, that left them unable to access their mainframe. 00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:12.800 The incident seriously disrupted delivery of medical services, in particular test results 00:06:12.840 --> 00:06:17.240 and blood transfusions. Several patients scheduled for surgery that day 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:21.600 were sent home with no hint as to when their potentially urgent medical procedure 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:25.320 might be rescheduled. Imagine getting injected with the wrong type of blood 00:06:25.320 --> 00:06:28.320 thanks to the work of your Xbox Live nemesis, 00:06:28.320 --> 00:06:33.160 XXX BonkSnipe69. I'm sorry for what I said about your model, babe. 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:36.320 Meta is apparently both testing unskippable ads 00:06:36.320 --> 00:06:42.480 on Instagram and collecting user data on both Facebook and Instagram for use in AI training. 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:46.880 If you'd like to opt out of your life being fed to Zuckerberg's pet AI, 00:06:46.880 --> 00:06:50.120 there's a simple process that starts with immigrating to Europe. 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:55.440 In fact, we might not even know about this new policy if it weren't for the fact that UK and EU legislation 00:06:55.440 --> 00:06:58.600 forces Meta to inform users over there. 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:02.520 America might be the land of the free, but if that's apparently in the sense of, 00:07:02.520 --> 00:07:07.920 ooh, free data, yum, yum, yum. And the key to creating a four-day work week 00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.280 is creating an AI clone that can attend meetings for you. 00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:14.960 That's according to Eric Yuan, CEO of Zoom, 00:07:14.960 --> 00:07:18.920 the meeting company. He believes that his company will eventually allow 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:23.600 a digital twin of yourself to attend all of your Zoom calls 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:28.000 and then give you the summary of those meetings. Have your deep pick, call my deep pick. 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.400 Hey, here's a thought. If your meetings are so pointless 00:07:31.400 --> 00:07:36.560 that you can send a soulless golem that essentially rolls dice to decide what words to say, 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:42.840 maybe just send a fucking email instead. But no email could replace Friday's episode of TechLinked, 00:07:42.840 --> 00:07:47.680 so be there. Your AI twin just doesn't really get it like you do. 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:50.280 We have something special. Also, they freak me out.
