WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.600 According to leaks, Lenovo's upcoming Legion Go handheld will be unveiled on September 1st, 00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:08.400 only 20 days before Earth, Wind and Fire's favorite day. 00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:15.680 I'm James Schreib. This is TechLinked, and this handheld was first teased a month ago 00:00:15.680 --> 00:00:20.640 when Windows Central reported on rumors of its existence. Then Windows Report leaked what appeared 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:25.120 to be the first images of the console showing off removable controllers, a feature that could 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 00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:36.240 su Lenovo. Windows Report now claims to have received official press release documents from an 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 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, 00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:56.240 and Hall Effect joysticks. Rejoice. The specs also imply that there will be multiple models 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 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, 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 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:20.560 Steam Deck a week ago, this sucks. American Telecom Sentry Link has been accused of ignoring 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:27.360 customers' issues that lead to many, often old, people having no internet access. 86-year-old 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 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:39.200 Link no showed for multiple scheduled service appointments. She's not that old, but like if 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 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:49.680 next day. This, of course, is not an isolated incident. Just last week, several senior residents 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:54.800 of Omaha, Nebraska reached out to a local NBC news affiliate to have their voices heard. 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 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, 00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:10.080 but non-engineering stroke victims occasionally need to send alerts about their life. 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:16.400 In some cases, they were even charging customers for services that didn't work 00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:19.680 and would only credit their accounts once service had been restored. 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 00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:32.320 Utah wanted to fund and build a city-owned fiber internet network, Sentry Link and fellow 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:39.040 hell-based corporation Comcast tried to stop it by astroturfing as the Utah Taxpayers Association. 00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:41.120 Fortunately, Sentry Link screwed that up too. 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 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 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 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 00:03:06.320 --> 00:03:11.600 several videos of the lunar module deploying its ramp and the Pragyan rover carefully disembarking 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 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:23.440 inspirational non-copyrighted music. The ISRO also posted a video labeled Pragyan rover roams around 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 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 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 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. 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 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:59.200 group of white hat hackers have infiltrated a Brazilian spyware firm and deleted the information 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:04.320 of over 75,000 victims preventing any more of their information from being stolen. 00:04:04.320 --> 00:04:08.640 The spyware service called Web Detetive, because apparently that's how you spell 00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:14.320 detective in Portuguese, advertises itself as allowing complete access to a compromised device. 00:04:14.320 --> 00:04:19.760 So governments, blackmailers, and your average old run of the mill stalker can eavesdrop on phone 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 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. 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 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:43.280 Mark Gurmin determined. Determine to you in there. Apparently there are four upcoming models that 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, 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:54.960 which is slightly larger than the current largest model. Apple is also revamping their magic keyboard 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 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. 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 00:05:11.840 --> 00:05:18.240 with Garmin, not Mark Gurmin, to integrate their satellite SOS feature into Google Messages. 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:23.920 This would allow users to text emergency services from remote areas without conventional call service, 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 00:05:29.760 --> 00:05:36.000 potentially life-saving service will cost, but Garmin, not Gurmin's current system, requires 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 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 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.960 un-mourned in the uncaring wilderness. Mark Garmin knows where you are. 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. 00:05:59.760 --> 00:06:04.240 on September 19th, disappointing the apparently dozens of people, there's lots of us, 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:08.240 who prefer phones that can be used with one hand. Yeah, you can say that. 00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:13.760 This information comes from the far too literally named Taiwanese tech news site, TechNews, 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 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 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:32.240 in your pocket. Put it, get it in there. And Chinese graphics card manufacturer, Max Sun, 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 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 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 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. 00:07:01.200 --> 00:07:05.520 You should come back and steal another episode of our trademark TechLinked episodes this Wednesday. 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.840 Well, there will be no clowns, I promise. They're scary. 00:07:09.840 --> 00:07:14.000 Now I think there's going to be clowns. Why would you... There's not, but...
