WEBVTT 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. 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 00:00:13.600 --> 00:00:18.720 to compete with Team Green in a market that no one asked for, the crispiest hardware. 00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:24.880 The story blew up when user Speed Rookie showed his lightly toasted ASUS board and 7800X3D 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 00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:37.400 put that knowledge to use discussing pin analysis hypotheses with Igor of Igor's Lab. 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 00:00:42.720 --> 00:00:47.440 and CPU were the ones that supply power to the CPU cores. 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. 00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:59.760 MSI decided to address the issue by issuing firmware updates for their AM5 boards that 00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:05.200 further locked down the voltage controls for X3D chips by only allowing negative voltage 00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:11.600 offsets. Stay tuned for more investigation though because apparently a certain tech messiah got their 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 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. 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 00:01:30.440 --> 00:01:34.920 child of David Beckham and Kira Knightley's character from the film, bend it like Beckham. 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 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.680 completely neglect front page techs leak from three days ago. 00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:50.040 In the YouTube channel's video, host Jon Prosser laid out every alleged spec of the 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 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.000 you use extreme battery saver. That's crazy. 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 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 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. 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.440 Two things. Sarah and McLaughlin and crying puppies. 00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:27.360 I'd really pull some heartstrings. In the arms of an angel. 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. 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:38.200 Yeah. By buying their product, please, Google needs your help. 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. 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:47.760 Using a Mark Gurman, aka the early Gurm gets the bird, the multi-trillion dollar fruit 00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:52.920 is hoping that by making its headset capable of doing more things, more people will want 00:02:52.920 --> 00:02:56.960 to spend $3,000 on it. It just appears right in your wallet. 00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:01.320 The headset will supposedly run hundreds of thousands of iPad apps at launch, which is 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, 00:03:06.760 --> 00:03:09.760 so they can have one that straps to their face. Sold. 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 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:19.280 other devices. Man, the trains and subway surface will jump right out at you. 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.720 For $3,000, they better hit me. I better fuel the trains. 00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:27.240 But I hope you only like short gaming sessions because the headset's external battery will 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. 00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:37.480 Ah, proprietary. Cool. Awesome. 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:41.480 They wouldn't want you to have fun using somebody else's batteries or devices. 00:03:41.480 --> 00:03:44.480 Apple would rather you had no fun at all. 00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:47.480 It's their favorite word for proprietary. Wow. 00:03:47.480 --> 00:03:50.680 Uh, Jacob. Thanks for this, bud. I'm gonna level with you folks. 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.920 I wasn't in the sponsor spot because I got fired. 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. 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 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 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. 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.080 It's certainly difficult for mid-range GPUs to compete with the used market. 00:04:21.080 --> 00:04:25.560 Who could have seen the mining crash coming? We never even got to the moon. 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 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 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:44.520 the case for re-verified figures like Kobe Bryant, Michael Jackson, and Anthony Bourdain. 00:04:44.520 --> 00:04:47.520 If only because they are all very dead. 00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:55.080 Necro verification. Twitter has also been non-consensually verifying fraudulent accounts such as an account posing 00:04:55.080 --> 00:05:01.160 as a Sudanese paramilitary group and a fake Disney Junior UK account that's intimately 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:04.360 familiar with the definition of hard R. 00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:08.720 This could possibly get Elon in legal trouble for false endorsement, a risk that's never 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:13.240 seemed to really bother Elon because he's got his Martian escape flight booked. 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:18.240 He's going to the moon. He's going past the moon to Mars. 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.500 Blizzard staff have been leaving the company in large enough numbers that the company has 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 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 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. 00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:44.600 In response, Blizzard said crisis maps are not a team practice for World of Warcraft, 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:48.280 which is not exactly denying that they've been doing them now. 00:05:48.280 --> 00:05:51.840 Running away from a bear is not generally something I practice either, but I doubt that 00:05:51.840 --> 00:05:56.160 I try going for a handshake first, if you get what I'm saying. 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 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 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 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 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:24.920 only possible to remove it with a Snapchat Plus subscription, like your friend who's 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:29.280 always asking for money. Give me $5 and I'll go away. 00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:32.840 Alright, no. No. I need that five bucks. 00:06:32.840 --> 00:06:36.760 And the company Augmental have announced that they are making a wearable trackpad that you 00:06:36.760 --> 00:06:44.400 control with your tongue. Finally, a way to increase your skills on PC and in bed. 00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:48.760 It's called the Mouthpad and it's designed to allow people with quadriplegia to control 00:06:48.760 --> 00:06:54.400 electronic devices like iOS and Android devices, computers, and even vibrators. 00:06:54.400 --> 00:06:58.040 Because everyone should be allowed to get their consensual freak on. 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. 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. 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:10.360 Did I do it? Can I have my job? Can I have my job back? 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.360 Can I go back to work? Please? Okay. 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:15.360 Please? We'll get back to you.
