1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,360 Welcome to Tech Late, the show where we tell you which PC components are the most flammable. 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:13,600 It's very important that you watch. Reports have surfaced of Ryzen X3D series CPUs burning and dying, allowing Team Red 3 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:18,720 to compete with Team Green in a market that no one asked for, the crispiest hardware. 4 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:24,880 The story blew up when user Speed Rookie showed his lightly toasted ASUS board and 7800X3D 5 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:31,480 processor on Reddit. Overclocker Der Bauer has had some experience with frying a 7950X3D chip, and apparently 6 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:37,400 put that knowledge to use discussing pin analysis hypotheses with Igor of Igor's Lab. 7 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:42,720 Igor and Co. speculate that, and who saw this coming, the pins that got crispy on the motherboard 8 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,440 and CPU were the ones that supply power to the CPU cores. 9 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:54,920 Of course. Of course. I know I already referenced the 4090, but I'm beginning to get deja vu. 10 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,760 MSI decided to address the issue by issuing firmware updates for their AM5 boards that 11 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,200 further locked down the voltage controls for X3D chips by only allowing negative voltage 12 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:11,600 offsets. Stay tuned for more investigation though because apparently a certain tech messiah got their 13 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:19,600 hands on Speed Rookie's busted hardware. No, not Jacob, Steve from Gamers Nexus, although I've never seen Jacob and Steve in the same 14 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:26,120 room. It's a conspiracy. The latest Google hardware leak is out, and this time it's the Pixel Fold. 15 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,440 A video is making the rounds on Twitter showing the phablet in action, bending like the love 16 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,920 child of David Beckham and Kira Knightley's character from the film, bend it like Beckham. 17 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:41,920 A perfect match. Android Police called it the most comprehensive Pixel Fold leak yet, and that is true if you 18 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,680 completely neglect front page techs leak from three days ago. 19 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,040 In the YouTube channel's video, host Jon Prosser laid out every alleged spec of the 20 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:57,840 upcoming device. According to Jon, Google is claiming a beyond 24 hour battery life with up to 72 hours if 21 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,000 you use extreme battery saver. That's crazy. 22 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,080 Which I do. Wow. Though I don't think that would include using the foldable screen since it's a 7.6 inch 23 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:14,120 6x5 aspect ratio OLED. Jon also claims Google will be including Pixel watches with full pre-orders, so it sounds 24 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:20,120 like Google really wants a win. But if the company really wants to move product, they need two things. 25 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,440 Two things. Sarah and McLaughlin and crying puppies. 26 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,360 I'd really pull some heartstrings. In the arms of an angel. 27 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:33,840 I tear my eye just thinking about it. For just a dollar a day, you can save a multinational corporation. 28 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,200 Yeah. By buying their product, please, Google needs your help. 29 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,680 And Apple is trying their best to come up with a use case for their ARVR headset. 30 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,760 Using a Mark Gurman, aka the early Gurm gets the bird, the multi-trillion dollar fruit 31 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,920 is hoping that by making its headset capable of doing more things, more people will want 32 00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:56,960 to spend $3,000 on it. It just appears right in your wallet. 33 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,320 The headset will supposedly run hundreds of thousands of iPad apps at launch, which is 34 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:06,760 tremendous news for people who wish they could spend six times more money than a normal iPad, 35 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,760 so they can have one that straps to their face. Sold. 36 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,680 But gamers rejoice. For you will be able to play top tier games as long as they're compatible with Apple's 37 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,280 other devices. Man, the trains and subway surface will jump right out at you. 38 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,720 For $3,000, they better hit me. I better fuel the trains. 39 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,240 But I hope you only like short gaming sessions because the headset's external battery will 40 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:34,480 likely only provide two hours of usage. Not only that, but the battery pack will have a non-detachable proprietary connection cable. 41 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,480 Ah, proprietary. Cool. Awesome. 42 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,480 They wouldn't want you to have fun using somebody else's batteries or devices. 43 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,480 Apple would rather you had no fun at all. 44 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,480 It's their favorite word for proprietary. Wow. 45 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,680 Uh, Jacob. Thanks for this, bud. I'm gonna level with you folks. 46 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,920 I wasn't in the sponsor spot because I got fired. 47 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,080 They said I could get my job back though if I did well on the quick bits. 48 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:02,760 It seems AMD might be skipping some GPU series launches and go straight from the RX 7900 49 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:09,920 to the 7600. In Igor's lab, some of AMD's exclusive board partners will show finished 7600 cards at 50 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:17,680 Computex in June while no word has been given on when or if a 7800 or 7700 will be launched. 51 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,080 It's certainly difficult for mid-range GPUs to compete with the used market. 52 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,560 Who could have seen the mining crash coming? We never even got to the moon. 53 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:32,320 To the moon. To the moon. Less than a month after sunsetting legacy verification, Twitter is giving check marks 54 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:38,920 to some celebrities, whether they like it or not. The check marks still say the person is subscribed to Twitter Blue though, which clearly isn't 55 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:44,520 the case for re-verified figures like Kobe Bryant, Michael Jackson, and Anthony Bourdain. 56 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,520 If only because they are all very dead. 57 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:55,080 Necro verification. Twitter has also been non-consensually verifying fraudulent accounts such as an account posing 58 00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:01,160 as a Sudanese paramilitary group and a fake Disney Junior UK account that's intimately 59 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,360 familiar with the definition of hard R. 60 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,720 This could possibly get Elon in legal trouble for false endorsement, a risk that's never 61 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:13,240 seemed to really bother Elon because he's got his Martian escape flight booked. 62 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:18,240 He's going to the moon. He's going past the moon to Mars. 63 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,500 Blizzard staff have been leaving the company in large enough numbers that the company has 64 00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:27,560 had to create crisis maps to decide what can and cannot be shipped according to two prominent 65 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:33,400 employees on Twitter. Apparently, the company's return to in-office work and other work culture policies might 66 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:39,680 have driven the dev exodus. I might even call it the dexodus if I was feeling silly, and I am. 67 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,600 In response, Blizzard said crisis maps are not a team practice for World of Warcraft, 68 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,280 which is not exactly denying that they've been doing them now. 69 00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:51,840 Running away from a bear is not generally something I practice either, but I doubt that 70 00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:56,160 I try going for a handshake first, if you get what I'm saying. 71 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,520 Snapchat has rolled out their new AI chatbot to all users and has been hammered with one 72 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:08,480 star reviews as a result. The AI chatbot sits pinned at the top of user feeds, and apparently it's a gaslighting 73 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:14,720 little creep. The AI will casually reference users' locations or birth months, then insist that it doesn't 74 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:20,600 have access to the personal data. The bot used to be a paid feature, but now that it's been rolled out to everyone, it's 75 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,920 only possible to remove it with a Snapchat Plus subscription, like your friend who's 76 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,280 always asking for money. Give me $5 and I'll go away. 77 00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:32,840 Alright, no. No. I need that five bucks. 78 00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:36,760 And the company Augmental have announced that they are making a wearable trackpad that you 79 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:44,400 control with your tongue. Finally, a way to increase your skills on PC and in bed. 80 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,760 It's called the Mouthpad and it's designed to allow people with quadriplegia to control 81 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:54,400 electronic devices like iOS and Android devices, computers, and even vibrators. 82 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,040 Because everyone should be allowed to get their consensual freak on. 83 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,960 If I own a new, how am I supposed to trash talk though? That's a good question. 84 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:07,360 I don't want it. For that reason, I'm out. And you should allow yourself to come back on Wednesday for more tech news. 85 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,360 Did I do it? Can I have my job? Can I have my job back? 86 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,360 Can I go back to work? Please? Okay. 87 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,360 Please? We'll get back to you.
