WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.480 Google's addiction to leaking their own phones is so bad now 00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:08.600 They couldn't even wait one hour for the pixel 10 launch event to start at 1 p.m. 00:00:08.600 --> 00:00:13.680 Eastern time the company just dropped all their major announcements at noon and while 00:00:13.680 --> 00:00:20.800 I think they officially have a problem and should seek help that did mean I could start looking at the new pixel 10 10 pro 10 pro 00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.560 XL 10 pro fold and pixel watch for right away 00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:31.280 Instead of sitting through the pre-stream and being subjective to an onslaught of AI videos 00:00:31.520 --> 00:00:41.640 Depicting pigeons dragging pizza the wrong way But I was subjected to Google's latest desperate attempt to capture some of Apple's Riz in the form of a never-ending stream of 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.080 Celebrities and influencers at the event who I 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:52.120 Don't know probably just showed up because they love talking about pixels when Google pays them to all the new pixels share some 00:00:52.120 --> 00:00:58.680 Common features with the hot new one being Google's answer to Apple's MagSafe new pixel snap 00:00:59.040 --> 00:01:04.240 Magnetic wireless charging based on the updated cheat to standard with an accompanying 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:09.920 Magnetic charging pad and stand as well as the ring stand which doesn't charge 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:16.000 But it is very pretty even if it looks like it would be somewhat unstable those things often go together 00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:21.840 Every pixel 10 variant supports charging via pixel snap at at least 15 watts 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:25.520 And they also all feature the new tensor g5 chip 00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:39.320 Which Google says is 34% faster than the g4 on average they'll all get seven years of software updates 00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:43.600 And none of them will have a physical SIM card slot in the US 00:01:43.880 --> 00:01:47.640 Just like iPhones now, so what do you think? 00:01:48.800 --> 00:01:52.480 Google's wondering if that looks like an Apple logo to you yet. They're pretty 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.720 Similar, I mean, you know, they're equally cool 00:01:58.160 --> 00:02:04.560 So cool, right on to the phones themselves the pixel 10 uses the same overall design as the pixel 9 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:09.600 but it gets a third camera like the pro models although they're not as good as the pros and 00:02:09.880 --> 00:02:15.120 Two of the three cameras on the pixel 10 are in fact worse than the ones on the pixel 9 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:20.560 They had to borrow some of the pixels But the battery is a tad bigger and the screen is a tad brighter 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:26.280 And you should not pre-order it before it hits shelves August 28th starting at 800 USD 00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:32.680 Then there's a pixel 10 pro which is nearly identical to the 9 pro minus the new chip and charging support 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.120 And the same is true for the 10 pro XL except 00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:44.600 The XL is the only model in the lineup to support chi 2.2 charging at up to 25 watts instead of 15 00:02:44.600 --> 00:02:49.720 The pixel 9 pro could reach 21 watts, but only with the official pixel stand 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:56.000 Also, please don't pre-order these when they launch August 28th at a thousand bucks for the pixel 10 pro and 00:02:56.200 --> 00:03:01.880 1200 for the pro XL. Okay, but the new pixel 10 fold that has something new 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:08.360 It's the first foldable display phone to achieve an IP68 water and dust resistance rating 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:13.080 And it can only pixel snap charge at 15 watts And it's coming a bit later 00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:18.040 So you'll have until October 9th to not pre-order it for 1800 USD 00:03:18.040 --> 00:03:21.800 Now the pixel watch 4 might be the most updated device here 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:27.480 It's got a 50% brighter more curved year display for 10% more screen space 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:32.840 Smaller bezels 25% longer battery life and a new side mounted charger to accommodate 00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:38.920 It's apparently more repairable design and it starts at 350 bucks for the smallest 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:43.960 Wi-Fi only model which you should also not pre-order before it ships October 9th 00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:49.960 Even though it's got a tiny AI Fitbit coach slowly going mad while it sits on the shelf inside it 00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:54.360 Lastly, there's new a series pixel buds the pixel buds 2a 00:03:54.600 --> 00:04:01.720 They've got active noise cancellation now and when that's on they'll last seven hours or 10 hours when ANC's off 00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:06.680 But even if you completely trash the battery in the charging case, it's replaceable 00:04:08.040 --> 00:04:15.400 So I can forgive these ones being 130 bucks 30 dollars more expensive than the first a series buds 00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.720 Ah, what the hell pre-order these if you want, let's go crazy 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:26.360 Now to wrap up the pixel stuff I must also mention a few software things the pixel 10s will feature magic q 00:04:26.760 --> 00:04:31.080 Which will pop up relevant details that it's gathered from closely watching your every move 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.840 Like suggesting an address when you get a message asking about it 00:04:35.640 --> 00:04:38.520 It could just take care of your stuff. Do I need to be here for this? 00:04:38.840 --> 00:04:46.520 The pixel 10 pro models have their own special pro res zoom which has nothing to do with pro res the video codec 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:53.400 It's different. It applies a latent diffusion model that makes photos taken at 30 to 100 time zoom 00:04:53.880 --> 00:04:57.800 Look less like they were taken at 30 to 100 time zoom 00:04:58.200 --> 00:05:04.600 Google announced that gemini is finally coming to google nest and home devices the pixel flex dual port 00:05:04.840 --> 00:05:10.440 67 watt charger can charge two devices at once, but will prioritize pixel phones 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:15.560 And seems designed to help pixel users trick iphone users into thinking iPhones are worse 00:05:15.640 --> 00:05:22.040 Uh, whoops, that wasn't a software thing, but this is pixel 10s get a new ai enhanced pixel journal app 00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:27.640 For when you need ai to help with a task that i'm pretty sure is supposed to be valuable 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:33.720 Because you just take a second and come up with your own Uh thoughts, but I who I don't know 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:40.360 Okay, no more pixel stuff a youtube rep has replied on twitter to a re-uploaded TechLinked clip 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:45.000 From monday's episode in which we talked about youtube seemingly upscaling shorts 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:50.840 So they look like ai video compared to the original shout out to denosaurus for 00:05:51.400 --> 00:05:58.920 Reposting the re-uploaded clip and tagging youtube liaison and former youtuber renae richie who said this is an experiment 00:05:59.320 --> 00:06:05.720 That does not involve Generative ai or upscaling, but does unbler 00:06:06.200 --> 00:06:08.920 Denoise and improve clarity using 00:06:09.400 --> 00:06:17.160 Traditional machine learning techniques passed down for generations. It's ai that your grandpa would be okay with 00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:21.560 He says the test is only running on select youtube shorts 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:26.840 But i'm thinking they selected a lot of shorts because every random short i picked 00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:33.800 Had this same effect renae went on to further explain his terms, which is genuinely helpful ai gen ai 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:37.160 Upscaling these terms are thrown around very casually 00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:41.160 So we should know what specific kind of neural network based techniques 00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:48.360 We're talking about when we say that the ones youtube is using to try and make shorts look better are making them look worse 00:06:48.760 --> 00:06:51.960 Uh I'm not mad because you're using generative ai 00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:55.000 I'm mad because you're making real video 00:06:55.880 --> 00:07:01.240 Look like it oozed out of some robots orifice. Hey, hey eyes on me 00:07:01.880 --> 00:07:09.960 We're doing the quick bits now Focus up a test result for a system called valve fremont has shown up on the geek bench 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:14.360 Database as spotted by a person who spots such things brad lynch 00:07:14.520 --> 00:07:19.240 The specs of the system seem to be consistent with prior leaks that point towards fremont 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:25.080 Being a tv set top console of some kind, but they're still kind of weird for one thing 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:29.960 It's got an AMD hawk point apu from the ryzen 8000 mobile 00:07:30.520 --> 00:07:36.680 range But with the integrated GPU removed in favor of a Radeon rx 7600 00:07:37.080 --> 00:07:40.680 It's also running Windows 11 instead of steam os 00:07:41.400 --> 00:07:47.560 It's all quite mysterious, but i'm sure if you do the math right you can get a half life three confirmation from this somehow 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:57.720 Ooh, maybe fremont's running Windows 11 because valve is giving up its os war with microsoft because microsoft announced that the xbox ally and ally x handhelds 00:07:57.960 --> 00:08:04.840 Will launch october 16th They are gonna come alongside a handheld compatibility program 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:12.920 Which actually sounds like it improves a bit on valve's deck verified program giving games ratings based on expected fbs and other factors 00:08:13.080 --> 00:08:17.640 Like whether it has seamless controller support or small screen friendly ui 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:24.840 Valve doesn't say anything about small screen friendly ui's i think do they even care about us a leak claims the price will be 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:33.160 550 usd for the xbox ally and 900 for the xbox ally x but nothing's officially confirmed on that front 00:08:33.800 --> 00:08:39.800 No doubt due to the challenging economic environment that sony blamed for the $50 price hike 00:08:39.880 --> 00:08:47.400 It's applying to the ps5 ps5 digital edition and ps5 pro which will now be 550 500 and 75 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:51.320 70 50 usd respectively 00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:56.760 The news comes after a similar price hike in europe australia and new zealand was announced in april 00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:00.520 But sadly we have no idea why any of this is happening 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:04.040 The economy is like the weather it's challenging out there 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:10.200 Right now it's like it's raining uh to wear a coat and Intel has gotten some help with its challenges 00:09:10.280 --> 00:09:15.400 Not only has it gotten a two billion dollar investment from japanese conglomerate softbank 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:21.320 The u.s. Government has confirmed rumors that it will give Intel the chips act funding 00:09:21.640 --> 00:09:28.440 Previously allocated to the company as long as the government gets that value about 5.4 billion i think 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.760 In Intel equity some are concerned about the u.s. governments 00:09:33.640 --> 00:09:39.160 Having a stake in a very important private company such as Intel, but you know who's not concerned 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:48.120 bernie sanders He's all for this apparently uh confusing everyone except me the only one who understands the economy 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:54.840 commerce secretary howard lutney confirmed the investment to cnbc not to be confused with msnbc 00:09:55.160 --> 00:10:02.200 Which is not to be confused with its new name ms now which stands for my source news opinion world 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:07.800 Which sounds like a theme park for the ai they'll eventually replace me with but not yet. Haha 00:10:08.520 --> 00:10:12.520 Oh, sorry zuck. I'm gonna be right back here on friday with more tech news 00:10:12.760 --> 00:10:17.720 Even if you give me and my whole family free tickets to my source news opinion world 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:23.800 Because okay, i'm through the gate And what i'm gonna spend a hundred dollars on lunch now come on
