1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,880
Ah, the tech news has always been celebrated for its excellence.

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:09,560
There's a Canadian tech news by Tech LinkedIn inspired by that same excellence.

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:16,640
You know this reference? It's French. The first reviews for AMD's new mobile chips seem to be blowing Qualcomm out of the water,

4
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:22,960
for the most part. So far, only the Ryzen AI9-HX370, a processor with a longer title than Daenerys Targaryen,

5
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,080
has been reviewed. But its specs are impressive.

6
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:32,040
The 370's NPU is capable of 50 trillion operations per second, which would be great if you could

7
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:38,920
really use it for anything. Microsoft's Co-Pilot Plus programs are currently unsupported, but you can use it for all the

8
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,240
other AI applications you'd want to run on a notebook, I guess?

9
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:48,720
Qualcomm certainly can't match AMD in mobile gaming, but Ryzen still can't seem to catch

10
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:54,640
up to the Snapdragon X Elite when it comes to battery life. However, that's basically Qualcomm's only win.

11
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,960
And it's so weird to see this happen after the X Elite got so much hype, but maybe part

12
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,360
of that is because most Windows on-ARM devices aren't using the flagship processor.

13
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:08,240
As of right now, the most powerful Snapdragon chip can only be found in the Samsung Galaxy

14
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:13,680
Book 4 Edge, a laptop that shares Samsung's discontinued branding for the curved-screened

15
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,000
phones it launched back in 2016. It's like they wanted us to not find it.

16
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,880
Hey, that phone was kind of… it's like a waterfall. I hate this laptop.

17
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:29,280
AMD's upcoming Ryzen 9000 series desktop CPUs may have been delayed because of a typo.

18
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,200
Last week, TechTech Potato's Dr. Ian Kutcher claimed that the delay was due to a typo on

19
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:39,080
the packaging. This was seemingly confirmed in an unsanctioned Billy Billy review, seen by eagle-eyed Twitter

20
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:48,240
user HXL. Apparently, AMD mislabeled their Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X CPUs as Ryzen 9 on the chip's

21
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:54,920
heat spreaders. It always hurts a little when your parents misspell your name.

22
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,160
While the reports of this typo seem to be verified, they might not entirely be the reason

23
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:04,560
for the delay. WCCF Tech claims that they were told by AMD they were issues during testing.

24
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,680
I'm not an engineer, but I'm pretty sure typos don't affect performance.

25
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,760
And by all accounts, Ryzen 9000 can perform.

26
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,120
Billy Billy creator and relative with the dark secret, ordinary Uncle Tony, was able to break

27
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:23,600
the Cinebench R23 world record for 16-core CPUs by overclocking a Ryzen 9 9950X to 6.5

28
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,840
GHz and drowning it in liquid nitrogen in front of a live crowd.

29
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,360
Maybe we don't let Uncle Tony babysit anymore. His methods are unconventional.

30
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,800
SpaceX successfully launched their Falcon 9 rocket again after an engine failure occurred

31
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,560
earlier this month. Meanwhile, things haven't been so easy for Boeing as two astronauts they sent to the

32
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,960
International Space Station have been trapped there for over six weeks longer than originally

33
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:52,920
planned. God that sounds like hell. NASA and Boeing are currently trying to figure out two issues with the Starliner spacecraft

34
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:58,240
that sent them up there. For starters, the craft's reaction control systems thrusters overheated, and some of

35
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:03,320
them shut off as Starliner was approaching the ISS on June 6th.

36
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:12,000
The other was the helium leak that Boeing was warned about before launch.

37
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,200
Apparently that leak isn't really an issue, but they wanted to take another look just in case.

38
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,840
The length of the mission has been extended by NASA so that they can make sure the craft

39
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,400
can safely bring the astronauts back to Earth that seems important and figure out how to

40
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:30,440
avoid the same issue for the next Starliner mission. Until then, the Starliner astronauts are living off of the space station's reserve supplies,

41
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,280
and I'm sure the crew on the station are thrilled to have two more mouths to feed for

42
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,400
an indeterminate amount of time. They may have to hunt for food soon.

43
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,520
We could eat Elvis. Now that's a deep cut reference.

44
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,040
I love the smell of quick bits in the morning, or afternoon, or evening, whenever you're

45
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:52,360
watching these. They smell pretty good. Two U.S. senators have called on the FTC to investigate car manufacturers' data collection

46
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,320
practices and assess just how much of it is actually legal and whether consent was

47
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:02,800
obtained deceptively. Past reporting from the New York Times indicates that these companies are hoovering up massive

48
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,560
amounts of potentially revealing data, such as exactly how many times you've been to

49
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:13,240
the Krispy Kreme drive through this year. Now senators Ron Wyden and Edward Markey say that they're selling this data for a song.

50
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,000
Hyundai got just 61 cents for each car's data.

51
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,960
It was only 26 cents a car for Honda, whose drivers are apparently worthless.

52
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:29,680
But very reliable. And they drive them for a long time. Logitech's relatively new CEO, Heneke Fe, but not sure, told the Verge that she's intrigued

53
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,880
by the concept of selling a high quality, beautiful forever mouse that you'd keep and

54
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:41,800
maintain for a long time. Like a Rolex watch. A Rolex for which you pay a subscription fee to get ongoing software updates.

55
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,920
So your mouse will never miss out on the newest ways to click buttons.

56
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,080
The Verges and Eli Patel pointed out that consumers might not go for this.

57
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,320
To which Faber countered, what about a diamond encrusted mouse?

58
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:59,080
Damn. She's good. Apple's upcoming artificial intelligence features will launch later than expected.

59
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,960
According to Mark Gurman, apparently the Cupertino Collective needs more time to work out

60
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:09,840
the bugs and will therefore miss the initial iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 updates planned for September.

61
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:15,960
Developers can, however, access some of the features now, thanks to iOS 18.1 beta release

62
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,160
with a public beta release expected sometime this summer.

63
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,840
Fun fact, beta release is also how doctors refer to the birth of TechLinked writer Jacob

64
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:28,280
Rush. He wrote that to describe himself. He's not even here to defend himself.

65
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:33,880
A small team at MIT has developed a new transistor for flash memory chips that doesn't wear away

66
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:40,000
with use. Not only did the new transistor show no signs of degradation after 100 billion switches,

67
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,120
but it also performs at comparative speeds to current tech.

68
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:48,000
In addition, the transistor's tiny size could allow for denser memory storage, so it's

69
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,520
everything better. According to the researchers, this could change the world in like 10 to 20 years.

70
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,120
Listen, science is really cool. It's just not that fast.

71
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,600
As you're at CERN, then it's really fast.

72
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:06,520
And high-tech exertion-saving exoskeletons are going mainstream with a pair of $4,000

73
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,520
superpants created by Skip Innovations in collaboration with Arcterix, that clothing

74
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,760
brand for wilderness explorers who lack the commitment to resort to cannibalism, but they

75
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:23,120
look good. The Mo Go, or mountain goat, can apparently boost leg strength by up to 40%, so I'm skipping

76
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,440
leg day. This until it runs out of power, which only takes about three hours.

77
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:35,160
Superpants! I'm not out of the house that long. The exoskeleton is still potentially a valuable device for users with mobility issues or anybody

78
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:41,800
who wants to role-play as a cockroach for the afternoon. And if you want to spend the afternoon role-playing as a tech news reviewer who moonlights as

79
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,120
a cockroach, come on back here on Wednesday. It might not be the afternoon, though.

80
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,400
It depends on your time zone.
