1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,400 Oh, sup, you here for tech news too? 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:08,320 You are? Oh, no way, man, that's, oh, that's sick, hey. 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,480 Hey, that's really cool. Hey, hey, that's really cool. 4 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:18,120 NVIDIA's ARM-powered laptop CPU has been rumored to exist for over a year, 5 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,840 or at least it feels that way, I haven't checked. But now a geekbench result has appeared 6 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,880 listing a 20-core ARM-based CPU 7 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:31,560 called the NVIDIA N1X. The strongest evidence yet that it is indeed 8 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,600 possibly a thing. The geekbench entry was first spotted 9 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,960 by Twitter user olrack29, but we can't see it because their tweets are protected. 10 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,960 And at the time of writing, they hadn't accepted my follow request yet, 11 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:46,040 let me into your life. The N1X makes a pretty good showing too, 12 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,440 beating the Ryzen AI Max plus 395 13 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,080 and the Core Ultra9 285HX in single-core. 14 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:58,600 It lost in multicore, and keep in mind that Linux systems do a bit better than Windows 15 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,240 on geekbench, but NVIDIA obviously has a bunch of optimization work to do. 16 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:08,040 This is early, I'm sure Team Green's driver team is working on this day and night 17 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,520 so that by the time it launches, it won't just run faster, 18 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,200 it actually won't run at all. Burn a hole right through your desk. 19 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,240 Now that's power. Google is rolling out a stable build 20 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,240 of Android 16 to Google Pixel devices, 21 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,720 although support for the coolest features aren't coming until later, 22 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,360 like the desktop mode and the Material 3 expressive redesign. 23 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,760 More like Material 3 excessive compared to Apple's new liquid glass look. 24 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,840 I mean, with the colors here, can you let my eyes breathe for a second? 25 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,960 There are other concerns with Android 16 too. 26 00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:46,200 The team behind Android fork Graphene OS apparently received information 27 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,960 that Google would make Android no longer open source. 28 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,800 And the first step towards this happening would be Google not releasing device repositories 29 00:01:54,800 --> 00:02:00,760 for Pixel phones alongside new Android releases. And it looks like that has indeed come to pass, 30 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,960 which is especially bad news for Graphene OS, 31 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,920 which only officially supports Pixel devices. Now, some are saying the Graphene team 32 00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:12,560 is misreading the situation. Google's becoming more private 33 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:17,880 with some elements of Android, but the open source project itself isn't going away, 34 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:23,800 according to these people. Whatever's really happening, closed sourcing Android would not only be pretty dumb 35 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,360 when Google's engulfed in antitrust trials, it would be bad for consumers. 36 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,480 Like, look, Chinese manufacturer Vivo claims 37 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,000 they got their upcoming X Fold 5 to work with the Apple Watch, 38 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,200 and they even got it to work as an external monitor for a Mac. 39 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,240 Honestly, I don't know whether Android being open source helped with that, 40 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:47,280 but it can't have hurt. OpenAI has made a deal with its biggest rival, Google, 41 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:52,080 for cloud compute power, according to a Reuters report based on three insider sources. 42 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,280 That's wild, but hey, AI companies gotta stick together now, 43 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,840 because Disney and NBC Universal are together suing mid-journey 44 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,760 for producing replicas of copyrighted characters like Aladdin and the Minions. 45 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:11,120 Despicable. That was from Glenn, nice one. So add that one to the pile of AI copyright lawsuits. 46 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,840 Hopefully one of them gets decided soon so we can tell whether it's okay 47 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,000 that Amazon is about to be overrun with AI-generated video ads. 48 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,520 Amazon's new tools let brands access AGI, what? 49 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,240 Oh, advanced generative intelligence, ah, come on. 50 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,480 Six photorealistic video ads can be generated in minutes 51 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,880 and I'm sure AI getting integrated into all of the most used business products 52 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,600 makes somebody happy, but also provides another vector for malware. 53 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,640 AIM Security has identified the first known zero-click AI vulnerability 54 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,720 which could let an attacker secretly ask your AI assistant 55 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,720 to provide sensitive info just by sending an email to the victim. 56 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:58,360 No killer robots needed. Those will come later, thanks to world models like the one Meta just introduced 57 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,880 called VGEPPA2, sounds Italian, VGEPPA. 58 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,400 Meta says it helps AI think before it acts, 59 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,180 which also sounds like something Meta themselves could do. And maybe the rest of Silicon Valley too. 60 00:04:11,180 --> 00:04:14,680 I think we're kinda reaching the limit of move fast 61 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,680 and break things. So honestly, Apple deserves some kudos 62 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,400 for delaying the launch of the new AI upgraded Siri to 2026. 63 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,760 In WWDC interviews this week, software chief Craig Federighi said, 64 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,700 there's no need to rush the wrong product out just to be first. 65 00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:38,160 Now he just needs to apply that same approach to product demos like the one they did at WWDC 2024 66 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,860 for this 2026 product. You wanna see a 2028 product? 67 00:04:42,860 --> 00:04:48,220 Then check out our sponsor. So, oh, you're here for the quick bits too? 68 00:04:49,580 --> 00:04:53,340 Okay, I didn't think I'd see you again. 69 00:04:53,340 --> 00:04:57,100 This is awkward. The Nintendo Switch 2 appears to be 70 00:04:57,100 --> 00:05:00,700 the fastest selling video game console of all time 71 00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:04,860 after selling three and a half million units in its first four days. 72 00:05:04,860 --> 00:05:09,220 Now I say appears to be because the Switch 2 apparently also has a battery bug 73 00:05:09,220 --> 00:05:12,300 that makes it lie to you about how much charge you have left. 74 00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:16,060 And now I don't know who to trust. Thankfully, there's an official support article 75 00:05:16,060 --> 00:05:19,340 that should help. While unofficial developers are also working 76 00:05:19,340 --> 00:05:22,860 on a microSD to M.2 adapter for the Switch 2, 77 00:05:22,860 --> 00:05:27,500 which could massively expand storage. However, there are apparently some power issues 78 00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:31,420 they need to work out. So be aware of that unless you wanna beat Nintendo 79 00:05:31,420 --> 00:05:36,100 to bricking your console. US and Chinese representatives have agreed on a proposal 80 00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:40,100 that could reduce planned tariffs and perhaps even more importantly, 81 00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:43,820 ease Chinese restrictions on the export of rare earth minerals, 82 00:05:43,820 --> 00:05:48,340 which are needed to make everything from Jeep Grand Cherokees to grandma's pancakes. 83 00:05:48,340 --> 00:05:53,620 They always had a little something extra. Unfortunately, despite Trump shouting on truth social 84 00:05:53,620 --> 00:05:58,340 in all caps about how the deal with China is done, 85 00:05:58,340 --> 00:06:01,680 the specific details of the proposal haven't been released 86 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,980 as both Trump and Chinese President Xi have yet to sign off on the deal, which is done. 87 00:06:06,980 --> 00:06:12,400 By the way, you may have missed that. Owners of EVGA motherboards have turned to a farm boy fix 88 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,420 for the boot up problems they've been experiencing with RTX 50 series GPUs. 89 00:06:16,420 --> 00:06:21,860 Just put some type on it. That apparently prevents contact with the extra SM bus pins 90 00:06:21,860 --> 00:06:26,060 on a number of EVGA motherboards, which I'm assuming in the wake of the company 91 00:06:26,060 --> 00:06:32,500 swearing off ever making NVIDIA GPUs again, EVGA put there to sabotage GPUs out of spite. 92 00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:36,980 Ooh, Jensen will hate this. The first Google Beam compatible hardware 93 00:06:36,980 --> 00:06:40,580 has been revealed. The HP dimension has six cameras, 94 00:06:40,580 --> 00:06:45,700 a spatial audio system and adaptive lighting to make it seem like you're really in the room 95 00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:49,940 with your company's HR manager. What, what you thought you're gonna call 96 00:06:49,940 --> 00:06:54,340 your grandma on this thing? It's $25,000, but it is cool. 97 00:06:54,340 --> 00:06:59,140 And if you don't think so, you can take Google's buyout offer and leave. 98 00:06:59,140 --> 00:07:02,980 Is that open to everyone or just Google employees? 99 00:07:02,980 --> 00:07:06,420 Okay, typical corporate. 100 00:07:06,420 --> 00:07:11,860 And humanoid robots are coming up in a big way, but a company called Ground Control Robotics 101 00:07:11,860 --> 00:07:15,700 had a different idea. What if we make farming robots 102 00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:18,860 that look like horrifying giant centipedes? 103 00:07:18,860 --> 00:07:24,100 They could writhe and crawl around and slap their gross long bodies on stuff 104 00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:28,300 to make everyone uncomfortable, listen. Okay, yeah, they made an armored version 105 00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:31,380 with actual antenna. Is that necessary? 106 00:07:31,380 --> 00:07:34,600 They say it can be used to pull out weeds and stuff, 107 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,420 but it's having trouble with this one. And that's not even the only horrifying, 108 00:07:38,420 --> 00:07:41,860 crawly thing these people are making. 109 00:07:41,860 --> 00:07:45,180 They should be ashamed of themselves. Just like you should be 110 00:07:45,180 --> 00:07:50,300 if you don't come back on Friday for tech news. I wasn't sure about you being here at first, 111 00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:55,900 but now I've gotten used to your calming presence. You make me feel better about myself, goddamn it.
