Unlike my uncle's fingers, he lost them in a tragic high-fiving accident. With a saw, apparently. Microsoft is updating Windows 11 to make it better to use, at least for people who love pop-up ads. Yay! They do exist. After the last major update brought notifications, telling Windows 11 users to back up their files with OneDrive, the company has decided to increase the number of ads in the start menu in the newest preview build of Windows 11. I'm sure it's for our own good. Microsoft knows. These little pop-ups will appear for local account users and will mention all the free services you can get if you log in with a Microsoft account, which Microsoft would very much like you to believe you must do in order to take advantage of amazing new features like Cortana. They probably don't want to use the word advertising to describe their notices promoting products or services, even though that's the exact definition of the word, because the word advertisement has a negative connotation. Instead, they've decided to call these pop-ups badging, a more positive word that calls to mind things like confrontations with police, or the verb to badger, meaning to annoy with frequent or persistent requests. Riding, riding, riding, riding. Thank you for the badging. So the way you would describe what's happening is to say, Windows 11 is being overrun with intrusive pop-up badging, not the other thing. Now for our weekly segment, where we discuss the newest NVIDIA 40 Series GPU to leak. This time, it's the 4060 Ti. The card is rumored to have a launch cost of $450, which would be 25% more than the 3060 Ti, or just five times the current inflation rate. Oof, what a steal. Oh, man, it's every time. It's rough out there. At least one partner card's specs has leaked Colorful's iGaming OC variant, seemingly confirming that the 4060 Ti will have eight gigs of VRAM. This leak comes just over a month before the card is rumored to launch, which is somehow always when these NVIDIA GPU leaks happen for reasons indecipherable to humans. Looks like I've got a schedule. I'm sure there's no spreadsheets involved. These leaks come from tech power-ups GPU database editor, who also claimed the base 4060 Ti's boost clock will be 2,535 megahertz, while Colorful's version is only 45 megahertz higher, much lower than the inflation rate of Hertz. Didn't quite sell that one, yeah, that one hurt. Of course, there's still no word on the specs gamers really care about. Will it fit inside a PC case that humans actually own? Or will we once again be treated to a GPU bulge reminiscent of that one guy at the hotel pool who's always in an undersized speedo? And it seems like Apple has had an 18-carat run of bad luck after falling victim to multiple bugs across their services. Multiple iPhone users have complained their phones started constantly asking for their Apple ID passwords, scaring iOS fans into thinking their accounts may be compromised. But that doesn't sound as bad as the iPhone pop-ups asking users if they think Tim Cook is cute that I just made up right now. Tim put it in there because he just needs a little confidence boost, you know? Do you think I'm cute? As for the real Apple ID password issue, it isn't limited to iPhones. Several users, especially in Brazil and Japan, have been having similar issues with logging into Apple TV. Some users on Twitter are complaining of being logged or even locked out of their Apple IDs, while at least one Brazilian user claims his Apple TV Plus subscription just disappeared. How will he watch lovable underdog Ted Lasso lead the ragtag players of Richmond towards team victory and personal growth now? He's gonna have to go touch grass. The website down detector shows a massive peak in reported Apple TV outages just 24 hours ago. Tim Cook takes time off to go to Coachella and look what happens. I heard Lord would be there. What would he, who would he like? We've noticed some Gen Xers pronouncing quick bits as K-W-I-K-B-Y-T-Z. And first of all, how dare you? I said Zed, sorry Americans. The mutant hedgehog and Yakuza enthusiasts over at SEGA have decided to buy Rovio Entertainment, the developer of Angry Birds for $776 million. The mobile game? It's huge right now. Is it? I was gonna say it's basically a retro game at this point. SEGA says they bought the company to strengthen its position in the global gaming market, apparently relying on the kind of strategic thinking that kept their gaming console business alive. Moving from furries to avians. More animals. Personally, I don't get why SEGA would be interested in a company whose popular animal mascots once dominated entire platform, but now only catered to a smaller yet rabid fan base. They're just so sexy. Anthropomorphic animals, there's just so much you can do with them. So many things you can draw them doing. Valve has restricted almost 2,500 accounts thanks to a negative review of the game Warlander posted by a user called Freedoms117, who pointed out its anti-cheat software continues to run and send data after closing the game. Because they described how to remove the software, a Steam moderator accused Freedoms117 of showing how to tamper with anti-cheat systems, which, fair enough, that's what he did. And restricted their account, as well as anyone who thumbsed up the review. You're all hackers. You're all against me. You're my associate. In fairness to Valve's moderators, they were just living up to their job title, freaking out and banning thousands of people is a moderate response, according to most social platforms. Stardew Valley is getting another update after more than a year, according to one man dev team, Eric Concerned Ape, Barone. The update will add new dialogue and better mod support, but at a cost, Barone is taking a break from haunted chocolatier, his highly anticipated second game, to release an update to the game he released seven years ago. You just can't escape your first love. Oh, Abigail. Now, I don't get this reference because I've never played the game, but I'm assuming all of your hearts are fluttering right now. I just, Jacob wrote this. She's the purple hair of my food. Okay, I still... She eats rocks. That does sound hot. Samsung is in negotiation with, just she actually? Yes. Samsung is in negotiations with Microsoft to switch the default search engine on its devices from Google to Bing. Google has been the dominant player in search for a quarter century, but now they're in a rush to add AI features to their search engine, what they've dubbed Project Magi. Google has also had a long history in AI research, obviously, but they held off and incorporating AI into Google search due to its tendency towards inaccuracy. Of course, now we've all decided that accuracy doesn't matter if we can pretend we're talking to a tiny deranged consciousness trapped in a computer, so this all makes sense. And AT&T has launched a new radar-based alert system dubbed Cherisherenity for elderly and disabled people at heightened risk of falls and injury in the home, okay? According to AT&T, unlike other systems which require cameras or wearable trackers, this system is designed to keep the elderly safe while allowing them a greater degree of privacy. Nothing says privacy, quite like using radar and AI to track your grandma through walls like an enemy submersible. Wait, did you hear that? Oh no, man is getting closer. Man, no, no, don't come this way, ah! And did you hear that you can come back on Wednesday for more tech news? It'll be just like today's, but with more relevant stories and a different person speaking. Imagine."}
