According to leaks, Lenovo's upcoming Legion Go handheld will be unveiled on September 1st,
only 20 days before Earth, Wind and Fire's favorite day.
I'm James Schreib. This is TechLinked, and this handheld was first teased a month ago
when Windows Central reported on rumors of its existence. Then Windows Report leaked what appeared
to be the first images of the console showing off removable controllers, a feature that could
finally spur Nintendo into releasing the Switch Pro, not to compete with the Legion Go, but to
su Lenovo. Windows Report now claims to have received official press release documents from an
anonymous tipster that includes prices and specs. For $800, you'll get an 8.8-inch QHD Plus display
with 144Hz refresh rate, LPDDR5X RAM that's faster than both the Steam Deck and the ROG allies,
and Hall Effect joysticks. Rejoice. The specs also imply that there will be multiple models
based on three listed storage options, and the device's processor being up to an AMD Ryzen Z1
Extreme. When we asked people who had already bought a Steam Deck or an ally for comment,
they said, weep, sorrow and woe, too huge for mortal tongue or pen of scribe. I just got my
Steam Deck a week ago, this sucks. American Telecom Sentry Link has been accused of ignoring
customers' issues that lead to many, often old, people having no internet access. 86-year-old
Helen Marie Pleward of Minnesota had no internet or phone service for over a month because Sentry
Link no showed for multiple scheduled service appointments. She's not that old, but like if
she falls. But wouldn't you know it, one single email from RS Technica and the issue is fixed the
next day. This, of course, is not an isolated incident. Just last week, several senior residents
of Omaha, Nebraska reached out to a local NBC news affiliate to have their voices heard.
One 93-year-old couldn't go home after her release from Stroke Rehab because her home's
life alert system is connected to a dead Sentry Link phone line. And you may not believe this,
but non-engineering stroke victims occasionally need to send alerts about their life.
In some cases, they were even charging customers for services that didn't work
and would only credit their accounts once service had been restored.
But screwing over paying customers isn't enough for Sentry Link because after the city of Bountiful
Utah wanted to fund and build a city-owned fiber internet network, Sentry Link and fellow
hell-based corporation Comcast tried to stop it by astroturfing as the Utah Taxpayers Association.
Fortunately, Sentry Link screwed that up too.
India's space agency, the ISRO, has successfully sent back video and images from the moon after
last week's successful landing of the Chandraan 3 lunar module. Like the US before them, they're
really milking this success for all it's worth. We get it. The ISRO's official account tweeted
video of the moon's surface as the lander touched down on the moon's south pole. There's also
several videos of the lunar module deploying its ramp and the Pragyan rover carefully disembarking
onto the surface like a cat that's encountering snow for the first time, accompanied by incredibly
inspirational non-copyrighted music. The ISRO also posted a video labeled Pragyan rover roams around
Shiva Shakti point in pursuit of lunar secrets, which looks a bit like Pragyan rover rolls forward
a couple of meters. But you know what? They made it to the moon and already completed two of their
three objectives. Congratulations, India. You crushed it. Welcome to the moon club. It's very cold in
here. We haven't been to the moon. But we take the ARM on this biasing. We're basically America.
We're cool. Our secret for the crispiest quick bits? Lean in and I'll tell you. It's an unnamed
group of white hat hackers have infiltrated a Brazilian spyware firm and deleted the information
of over 75,000 victims preventing any more of their information from being stolen.
The spyware service called Web Detetive, because apparently that's how you spell
detective in Portuguese, advertises itself as allowing complete access to a compromised device.
So governments, blackmailers, and your average old run of the mill stalker can eavesdrop on phone
calls and track the location of their victim all for less than a cup of coffee. Wow. I never knew
being a complete monster could be so cheap and convenient. Doesn't cost anything to slap a baby.
Apple might be revamping the iPad Pro to fix the device's sluggish sales, or at least that's what
Mark Gurmin determined. Determine to you in there. Apparently there are four upcoming models that
will be the first to feature OLED screens and M3 chips. The sizes will range from 11 to 13 inches,
which is slightly larger than the current largest model. Apple is also revamping their magic keyboard
by increasing the trackpad size and making it more laptop-like. I said those things weird for no
reason. Probably so Riley can keep complaining about how he doesn't understand the purpose of the iPad.
I'm the only one who does understand it. What? What's a computer? Google appears to be partnering
with Garmin, not Mark Gurmin, to integrate their satellite SOS feature into Google Messages.
This would allow users to text emergency services from remote areas without conventional call service,
thereby ending every teen slasher movie before it could even begin. It's not clear how much the new
potentially life-saving service will cost, but Garmin, not Gurmin's current system, requires
a $15 per month subscription on a Garmin device. Apple launched a similar currently free SOS service
for the iPhone 14 last year, so at least the iOS-loving elite could avoid dying alone and
un-mourned in the uncaring wilderness. Mark Garmin knows where you are.
ASUS's compact Zenfone 10 might be the last Zenfone ever, dammit, when it launches in the U.S.
on September 19th, disappointing the apparently dozens of people, there's lots of us,
who prefer phones that can be used with one hand. Yeah, you can say that.
This information comes from the far too literally named Taiwanese tech news site, TechNews,
who says ASUS will be discontinuing the Zenfone line in favor of making more beefy ROG gaming
phones. Why? Small phone lovers, I'm sorry, but you must accept that you have lost. Now put the TV
in your pocket. Put it, get it in there. And Chinese graphics card manufacturer, Max Sun,
felt NVIDIA's RTX 4090 graphics card didn't have enough fans on launch, so they decided to make
more. The company's GeForce RTX 4090 MGG, or Mega Gamer, has 5 fans with 2 extras near the top of the
card. It certainly isn't the worst name they've used before, having released their GTX 1650
Transformers car, and even tempting the fast food clown with the Max Sun RTX 3060 Big Mac.
You should come back and steal another episode of our trademark TechLinked episodes this Wednesday.
Well, there will be no clowns, I promise. They're scary.
Now I think there's going to be clowns. Why would you... There's not, but...
