1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,200 We're on day four of TechLink's CES coverage, but today was only officially day one of CES, so what? 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:12,600 Everything before now is just a warm-up? Well, at this rate, I'm gonna be hotter than a 4090! 3 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:19,600 At their event, AMD introduced some tasty new CPUs, but also foreshadowed a dark AI future for Windows. 4 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:26,100 We'll start with the bright stuff, though. The successor to the popular Ryzen 7 5800X 3D gaming CPU has been announced. 5 00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:32,200 Actually, it has three successors, one with 8 cores, one with 12, and one with a whopping 16. 6 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,700 Based on the launch of the 5800X 3D, I cannot wait for these things to come out, 7 00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:41,800 crush absolutely everything else in gaming benchmarks, and be permanently sold out everywhere. 8 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:48,900 AMD also unveiled their Ryzen 7000 mobile CPU lineup and announced that their new 7040 series 9 00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:53,500 has a dedicated AI engine called Ryzen AI. 10 00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:59,200 Wow! Lisa Sue says that this engine is 20% better than Apple's M2 engine. 11 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,500 Um, are we talking cars or chips at this point? 12 00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:07,700 Anyway, she proved the only way that tech companies know how to market is using colorful graphs 13 00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:11,200 covered in vague statements with some kind of relationship with cars. 14 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,000 I mean, remember when Intel came up with i3, i5, and i7? 15 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,500 That's just BMW! Sue then invited Microsoft executive Panos Panay onto the stage, 16 00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:25,100 who stated that AI is going to reinvent how you do everything on Windows. 17 00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:30,500 It's worth noting, by the way, that OpenAI is in an exclusive computing relationship with Microsoft, 18 00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:34,300 which could mean chat GPT embedded in Windows 11. 19 00:01:34,300 --> 00:01:38,800 And is this in tech links yet? They've already announced that it's going to be built into Bing. 20 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,100 Yes. We talked about that yesterday. Wild, right? 21 00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:46,400 Anyway, that could be bad news for students in New York City since they have been banned 22 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:51,500 from using the chatbot. I hope they like Chromebooks because public schools can't afford Apple's prices. 23 00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:57,700 Sony CES announcements leaned into the unconventional this year with the reveal of Project Leonardo, 24 00:01:57,700 --> 00:02:01,700 a customizable controller to make PlayStation 5 gaming more accessible. 25 00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:06,800 In a blog post, SIE Senior Vice President Hideaki Nishino, 26 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,700 said that accessibility is an important topic to us at PlayStation, 27 00:02:10,700 --> 00:02:14,300 which is why, of course, they waited more than four years after Microsoft released 28 00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:18,100 their adaptive controller to do something about it. There were more revelations to be had though, 29 00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:22,100 as Sony also revealed the name of the electric vehicle car brand 30 00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:25,900 that they created in cooperation with Honda. A feelah. 31 00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:28,900 Because at the heart of mobility is the word feel. 32 00:02:28,900 --> 00:02:32,500 I actually didn't make that up. That is a direct quote from the presentation 33 00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:36,500 and not some sort of cars fan fiction written by Nicholas Sparks. 34 00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:41,100 You know, I thought it was sort of poking fun at Nintendo about the whole Chris Pratt Mario thing. 35 00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:43,300 I feel like I'm making a car. 36 00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:48,600 Of course, Sony knows what everyone really came to CES for. 37 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:55,900 Movie announcements. As Sony announced a Gran Turismo movie being directed by District 9 creator Neil Blumkamp 38 00:02:55,900 --> 00:03:01,400 and featuring actors like David Harbaugh and Orlando Bloom. 39 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:07,400 He's back, baby. He's back. I mean, I would have liked to see a demo of the PSVR2 40 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,600 instead of a movie announcement at CES, but hey, Sony, you do you. 41 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,500 And Lenovo decided to info-dump harder than a Kojima video game this year. 42 00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:21,000 The company decided to enter the e-ink space with their upcoming smart paper tablet. 43 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,500 But wait, if you presumably give them even more money for a different e-ink screen, 44 00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:31,100 it will come with a free laptop because the e-ink tablet is attached to the laptop. 45 00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:38,400 It's called the Thinkbook Plus Twist and the twist is that the e-ink screen is on the back of the main OLED display 46 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,600 with a twist hinge to allow you to boom, twist, swap between its two screens. 47 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,700 And if you like that thing, you're gonna love Lenovo's new YogaBook 9i 48 00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:51,500 whose twin 13-inch displays are OLED this time around. 49 00:03:51,500 --> 00:03:56,100 In a surprising break from dual-screen products, Lenovo also announced Project Chronos, 50 00:03:56,100 --> 00:04:01,700 essentially a set-top box that allows for motion capture without any physical apparatus. 51 00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:04,700 That sounds an awful lot like the Xbox Kinect. 52 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,300 It's this deja vu. And the remnants of Motorola, who were bought by Lenovo, 53 00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:14,100 are making a business-oriented think-phone with apparently better security and productivity, 54 00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:18,900 which isn't that just Blackberry? That's what I said. That doesn't sound that original Lenovo. 55 00:04:18,900 --> 00:04:25,600 Have you guys tried adding another screen? Or a nipple? Excuse me, I need to get the buck quets out of storage. 56 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,900 They said I'm supposed to take the elevator, but I see them right over there, so one moment. 57 00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:33,800 Hey, wait! Oh! I knew they were gonna get me on that elevator somehow. 58 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,400 Facial recognition allegedly put an innocent man behind bars. 59 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,700 Randall Reed was pulled over by police and told that he was wanted for a robbery in Louisiana, 60 00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:45,700 a state he had never even been to. 61 00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:51,400 Reed happens to be Black, which has been known to affect the accuracy of facial recognition software. 62 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:56,800 In the computer's defense, apparently not even the police officers noticed the 40-pound weight difference 63 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:03,600 between Reed and the actual suspect, which is yet another example of why facial recognition is a potentially dangerous technology. 64 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,700 We need, like, whole-body recognition. Yeah! Yeah! I mean, that's clearly not my penis. 65 00:05:08,700 --> 00:05:13,300 In other news, keeping your PlayStation 5 upright may damage your console. 66 00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:19,700 According to some console repairers, the liquid metal thermal interface material that is used to cool the APU 67 00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:22,900 can leak around the processor and kill some components. 68 00:05:22,900 --> 00:05:29,100 YouTuber TheCoder showed the issue would not occur had Sony applied a conformal coating around the APU. 69 00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:32,700 But, I mean, how could they have had time for that when they were working on Gran Turismo the movie? 70 00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:36,700 If only we could have told them that this was going to happen. 71 00:05:38,900 --> 00:05:46,000 MegSafeStyle technology is coming to Android phones, according to the specifications for the upcoming G2 charging standard. 72 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,500 The new tech will keep devices aligned with charging pads using magnets, just like Apple's solution. 73 00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:55,100 This marks the second time I can remember where Android took an idea from Apple, 74 00:05:55,100 --> 00:06:00,200 the first being when they removed the audio jack. So, I guess this is what it feels like when they steal a good idea. 75 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:10,500 Nice, isn't it? It's fuzzy. Yesterday, AMD finally admitted that faulty heat sinks are causing massive junction temperatures on their 7900 XTX graphics cards. 76 00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:15,200 In an official statement, the company said they believe this to be the cause of the thermal throttling, 77 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:24,000 and they are committed to solving the issue. I suppose that after the public backlash that they got for claiming that 110 degree temperatures were normal, 78 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,400 and then the public backlash they got over their refusal to accept returns on the faulty cards, 79 00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:32,300 not to mention the multiple independent investigators doing their job for them, 80 00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:36,700 AMD proactively took action to humbly admit their mistake. 81 00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:42,200 And Apple has quietly implemented a new digital narration feature for its audio books 82 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:47,100 to allow publishers to use one of two AI voices to read their books aloud to customers. 83 00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:50,700 Apple claims that the tool is meant to promote independently published authors, 84 00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:53,900 but some are fearful for the future of the narration industry. 85 00:06:53,900 --> 00:06:57,900 First, AI came for the artists, and I said nothing because I was not an AI artist. 86 00:06:57,900 --> 00:07:01,400 Then it came for the programmers. I said nothing because I'm not a programmer. 87 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,700 And now, not even Lovar Burton is safe anymore. Think of Morgan Freeman! 88 00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:10,700 And think of Tomorrow's Tech News, because it's gonna be real weird. 89 00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:14,700 You thought the smart device that analyzes your urine was weird in yesterday's episode? 90 00:07:14,700 --> 00:07:15,700 Just you wait.
