WEBVTT 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? 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! 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. 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. 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. 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, 00:00:36.700 --> 00:00:41.800 crush absolutely everything else in gaming benchmarks, and be permanently sold out everywhere. 00:00:41.800 --> 00:00:48.900 AMD also unveiled their Ryzen 7000 mobile CPU lineup and announced that their new 7040 series 00:00:48.900 --> 00:00:53.500 has a dedicated AI engine called Ryzen AI. 00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:59.200 Wow! Lisa Sue says that this engine is 20% better than Apple's M2 engine. 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.500 Um, are we talking cars or chips at this point? 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 00:01:07.700 --> 00:01:11.200 covered in vague statements with some kind of relationship with cars. 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.000 I mean, remember when Intel came up with i3, i5, and i7? 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:20.500 That's just BMW! Sue then invited Microsoft executive Panos Panay onto the stage, 00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:25.100 who stated that AI is going to reinvent how you do everything on Windows. 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, 00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:34.300 which could mean chat GPT embedded in Windows 11. 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. 00:01:38.800 --> 00:01:42.100 Yes. We talked about that yesterday. Wild, right? 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 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. 00:01:51.500 --> 00:01:57.700 Sony CES announcements leaned into the unconventional this year with the reveal of Project Leonardo, 00:01:57.700 --> 00:02:01.700 a customizable controller to make PlayStation 5 gaming more accessible. 00:02:01.700 --> 00:02:06.800 In a blog post, SIE Senior Vice President Hideaki Nishino, 00:02:06.800 --> 00:02:10.700 said that accessibility is an important topic to us at PlayStation, 00:02:10.700 --> 00:02:14.300 which is why, of course, they waited more than four years after Microsoft released 00:02:14.300 --> 00:02:18.100 their adaptive controller to do something about it. There were more revelations to be had though, 00:02:18.100 --> 00:02:22.100 as Sony also revealed the name of the electric vehicle car brand 00:02:22.100 --> 00:02:25.900 that they created in cooperation with Honda. A feelah. 00:02:25.900 --> 00:02:28.900 Because at the heart of mobility is the word feel. 00:02:28.900 --> 00:02:32.500 I actually didn't make that up. That is a direct quote from the presentation 00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:36.500 and not some sort of cars fan fiction written by Nicholas Sparks. 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. 00:02:41.100 --> 00:02:43.300 I feel like I'm making a car. 00:02:45.300 --> 00:02:48.600 Of course, Sony knows what everyone really came to CES for. 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 00:02:55.900 --> 00:03:01.400 and featuring actors like David Harbaugh and Orlando Bloom. 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 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:11.600 instead of a movie announcement at CES, but hey, Sony, you do you. 00:03:11.600 --> 00:03:16.500 And Lenovo decided to info-dump harder than a Kojima video game this year. 00:03:16.500 --> 00:03:21.000 The company decided to enter the e-ink space with their upcoming smart paper tablet. 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:25.500 But wait, if you presumably give them even more money for a different e-ink screen, 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. 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 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.600 with a twist hinge to allow you to boom, twist, swap between its two screens. 00:03:43.600 --> 00:03:47.700 And if you like that thing, you're gonna love Lenovo's new YogaBook 9i 00:03:47.700 --> 00:03:51.500 whose twin 13-inch displays are OLED this time around. 00:03:51.500 --> 00:03:56.100 In a surprising break from dual-screen products, Lenovo also announced Project Chronos, 00:03:56.100 --> 00:04:01.700 essentially a set-top box that allows for motion capture without any physical apparatus. 00:04:01.700 --> 00:04:04.700 That sounds an awful lot like the Xbox Kinect. 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:09.300 It's this deja vu. And the remnants of Motorola, who were bought by Lenovo, 00:04:09.300 --> 00:04:14.100 are making a business-oriented think-phone with apparently better security and productivity, 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. 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. 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. 00:04:28.900 --> 00:04:33.800 Hey, wait! Oh! I knew they were gonna get me on that elevator somehow. 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:37.400 Facial recognition allegedly put an innocent man behind bars. 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, 00:04:42.700 --> 00:04:45.700 a state he had never even been to. 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. 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 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. 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:08.700 We need, like, whole-body recognition. Yeah! Yeah! I mean, that's clearly not my penis. 00:05:08.700 --> 00:05:13.300 In other news, keeping your PlayStation 5 upright may damage your console. 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 00:05:19.700 --> 00:05:22.900 can leak around the processor and kill some components. 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. 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? 00:05:33.700 --> 00:05:36.700 If only we could have told them that this was going to happen. 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. 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. 00:05:51.500 --> 00:05:55.100 This marks the second time I can remember where Android took an idea from Apple, 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. 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. 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, 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, 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, 00:06:28.500 --> 00:06:32.300 not to mention the multiple independent investigators doing their job for them, 00:06:32.300 --> 00:06:36.700 AMD proactively took action to humbly admit their mistake. 00:06:37.300 --> 00:06:42.200 And Apple has quietly implemented a new digital narration feature for its audio books 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. 00:06:47.100 --> 00:06:50.700 Apple claims that the tool is meant to promote independently published authors, 00:06:50.700 --> 00:06:53.900 but some are fearful for the future of the narration industry. 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. 00:06:57.900 --> 00:07:01.400 Then it came for the programmers. I said nothing because I'm not a programmer. 00:07:01.400 --> 00:07:05.700 And now, not even Lovar Burton is safe anymore. Think of Morgan Freeman! 00:07:07.100 --> 00:07:10.700 And think of Tomorrow's Tech News, because it's gonna be real weird. 00:07:10.700 --> 00:07:14.700 You thought the smart device that analyzes your urine was weird in yesterday's episode? 00:07:14.700 --> 00:07:15.700 Just you wait.
