00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,600
According to leaks, Lenovo's upcoming Legion Go handheld will be unveiled on September 1st,

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,400
only 20 days before Earth, Wind and Fire's favorite day.

3
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,680
I'm James Schreib. This is TechLinked, and this handheld was first teased a month ago

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:20,640
when Windows Central reported on rumors of its existence. Then Windows Report leaked what appeared

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,120
to be the first images of the console showing off removable controllers, a feature that could

6
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:30,400
finally spur Nintendo into releasing the Switch Pro, not to compete with the Legion Go, but to

7
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:36,240
su Lenovo. Windows Report now claims to have received official press release documents from an

8
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:44,000
anonymous tipster that includes prices and specs. For $800, you'll get an 8.8-inch QHD Plus display

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,720
with 144Hz refresh rate, LPDDR5X RAM that's faster than both the Steam Deck and the ROG allies,

10
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,240
and Hall Effect joysticks. Rejoice. The specs also imply that there will be multiple models

11
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:03,520
based on three listed storage options, and the device's processor being up to an AMD Ryzen Z1

12
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,440
Extreme. When we asked people who had already bought a Steam Deck or an ally for comment,

13
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:14,000
they said, weep, sorrow and woe, too huge for mortal tongue or pen of scribe. I just got my

14
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:20,560
Steam Deck a week ago, this sucks. American Telecom Sentry Link has been accused of ignoring

15
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:27,360
customers' issues that lead to many, often old, people having no internet access. 86-year-old

16
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:33,120
Helen Marie Pleward of Minnesota had no internet or phone service for over a month because Sentry

17
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:39,200
Link no showed for multiple scheduled service appointments. She's not that old, but like if

18
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,480
she falls. But wouldn't you know it, one single email from RS Technica and the issue is fixed the

19
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,680
next day. This, of course, is not an isolated incident. Just last week, several senior residents

20
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,800
of Omaha, Nebraska reached out to a local NBC news affiliate to have their voices heard.

21
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,520
One 93-year-old couldn't go home after her release from Stroke Rehab because her home's

22
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,800
life alert system is connected to a dead Sentry Link phone line. And you may not believe this,

23
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:10,080
but non-engineering stroke victims occasionally need to send alerts about their life.

24
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:16,400
In some cases, they were even charging customers for services that didn't work

25
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,680
and would only credit their accounts once service had been restored.

26
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,720
But screwing over paying customers isn't enough for Sentry Link because after the city of Bountiful

27
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:32,320
Utah wanted to fund and build a city-owned fiber internet network, Sentry Link and fellow

28
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:39,040
hell-based corporation Comcast tried to stop it by astroturfing as the Utah Taxpayers Association.

29
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,120
Fortunately, Sentry Link screwed that up too.

30
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:50,960
India's space agency, the ISRO, has successfully sent back video and images from the moon after

31
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,840
last week's successful landing of the Chandraan 3 lunar module. Like the US before them, they're

32
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:01,920
really milking this success for all it's worth. We get it. The ISRO's official account tweeted

33
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:06,320
video of the moon's surface as the lander touched down on the moon's south pole. There's also

34
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:11,600
several videos of the lunar module deploying its ramp and the Pragyan rover carefully disembarking

35
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,560
onto the surface like a cat that's encountering snow for the first time, accompanied by incredibly

36
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:23,440
inspirational non-copyrighted music. The ISRO also posted a video labeled Pragyan rover roams around

37
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:30,720
Shiva Shakti point in pursuit of lunar secrets, which looks a bit like Pragyan rover rolls forward

38
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,440
a couple of meters. But you know what? They made it to the moon and already completed two of their

39
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,320
three objectives. Congratulations, India. You crushed it. Welcome to the moon club. It's very cold in

40
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,520
here. We haven't been to the moon. But we take the ARM on this biasing. We're basically America.

41
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:53,280
We're cool. Our secret for the crispiest quick bits? Lean in and I'll tell you. It's an unnamed

42
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:59,200
group of white hat hackers have infiltrated a Brazilian spyware firm and deleted the information

43
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,320
of over 75,000 victims preventing any more of their information from being stolen.

44
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,640
The spyware service called Web Detetive, because apparently that's how you spell

45
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:14,320
detective in Portuguese, advertises itself as allowing complete access to a compromised device.

46
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:19,760
So governments, blackmailers, and your average old run of the mill stalker can eavesdrop on phone

47
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:25,360
calls and track the location of their victim all for less than a cup of coffee. Wow. I never knew

48
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,760
being a complete monster could be so cheap and convenient. Doesn't cost anything to slap a baby.

49
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,720
Apple might be revamping the iPad Pro to fix the device's sluggish sales, or at least that's what

50
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:43,280
Mark Gurmin determined. Determine to you in there. Apparently there are four upcoming models that

51
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:49,600
will be the first to feature OLED screens and M3 chips. The sizes will range from 11 to 13 inches,

52
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,960
which is slightly larger than the current largest model. Apple is also revamping their magic keyboard

53
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:00,960
by increasing the trackpad size and making it more laptop-like. I said those things weird for no

54
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,680
reason. Probably so Riley can keep complaining about how he doesn't understand the purpose of the iPad.

55
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:11,840
I'm the only one who does understand it. What? What's a computer? Google appears to be partnering

56
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:18,240
with Garmin, not Mark Gurmin, to integrate their satellite SOS feature into Google Messages.

57
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,920
This would allow users to text emergency services from remote areas without conventional call service,

58
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,760
thereby ending every teen slasher movie before it could even begin. It's not clear how much the new

59
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:36,000
potentially life-saving service will cost, but Garmin, not Gurmin's current system, requires

60
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:42,160
a $15 per month subscription on a Garmin device. Apple launched a similar currently free SOS service

61
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:48,800
for the iPhone 14 last year, so at least the iOS-loving elite could avoid dying alone and

62
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,960
un-mourned in the uncaring wilderness. Mark Garmin knows where you are.

63
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:59,760
ASUS's compact Zenfone 10 might be the last Zenfone ever, dammit, when it launches in the U.S.

64
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,240
on September 19th, disappointing the apparently dozens of people, there's lots of us,

65
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,240
who prefer phones that can be used with one hand. Yeah, you can say that.

66
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,760
This information comes from the far too literally named Taiwanese tech news site, TechNews,

67
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:19,680
who says ASUS will be discontinuing the Zenfone line in favor of making more beefy ROG gaming

68
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:27,040
phones. Why? Small phone lovers, I'm sorry, but you must accept that you have lost. Now put the TV

69
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:32,240
in your pocket. Put it, get it in there. And Chinese graphics card manufacturer, Max Sun,

70
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:38,080
felt NVIDIA's RTX 4090 graphics card didn't have enough fans on launch, so they decided to make

71
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:47,040
more. The company's GeForce RTX 4090 MGG, or Mega Gamer, has 5 fans with 2 extras near the top of the

72
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:52,160
card. It certainly isn't the worst name they've used before, having released their GTX 1650

73
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:58,080
Transformers car, and even tempting the fast food clown with the Max Sun RTX 3060 Big Mac.

74
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,520
You should come back and steal another episode of our trademark TechLinked episodes this Wednesday.

75
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,840
Well, there will be no clowns, I promise. They're scary.

76
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,000
Now I think there's going to be clowns. Why would you... There's not, but...
