WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.880 Ah, the tech news has always been celebrated for its excellence. 00:00:03.880 --> 00:00:09.560 There's a Canadian tech news by Tech LinkedIn inspired by that same excellence. 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, 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, 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:26.080 has been reviewed. But its specs are impressive. 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 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 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:43.240 other AI applications you'd want to run on a notebook, I guess? 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 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. 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 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:03.360 of that is because most Windows on-ARM devices aren't using the flagship processor. 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 00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:13.680 Book 4 Edge, a laptop that shares Samsung's discontinued branding for the curved-screened 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:18.000 phones it launched back in 2016. It's like they wanted us to not find it. 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.880 Hey, that phone was kind of… it's like a waterfall. I hate this laptop. 00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:29.280 AMD's upcoming Ryzen 9000 series desktop CPUs may have been delayed because of a typo. 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 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 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 00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:54.920 heat spreaders. It always hurts a little when your parents misspell your name. 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 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. 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:08.680 I'm not an engineer, but I'm pretty sure typos don't affect performance. 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.760 And by all accounts, Ryzen 9000 can perform. 00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:16.120 Billy Billy creator and relative with the dark secret, ordinary Uncle Tony, was able to break 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 00:02:23.600 --> 00:02:27.840 GHz and drowning it in liquid nitrogen in front of a live crowd. 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:32.360 Maybe we don't let Uncle Tony babysit anymore. His methods are unconventional. 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:36.800 SpaceX successfully launched their Falcon 9 rocket again after an engine failure occurred 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 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:46.960 International Space Station have been trapped there for over six weeks longer than originally 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 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 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:03.320 them shut off as Starliner was approaching the ISS on June 6th. 00:03:03.320 --> 00:03:12.000 The other was the helium leak that Boeing was warned about before launch. 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. 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 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:23.400 can safely bring the astronauts back to Earth that seems important and figure out how to 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, 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 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.400 an indeterminate amount of time. They may have to hunt for food soon. 00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.520 We could eat Elvis. Now that's a deep cut reference. 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 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 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:57.320 practices and assess just how much of it is actually legal and whether consent was 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 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.560 amounts of potentially revealing data, such as exactly how many times you've been to 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. 00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:17.000 Hyundai got just 61 cents for each car's data. 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.960 It was only 26 cents a car for Honda, whose drivers are apparently worthless. 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 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:34.880 by the concept of selling a high quality, beautiful forever mouse that you'd keep and 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. 00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:44.920 So your mouse will never miss out on the newest ways to click buttons. 00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:49.080 The Verges and Eli Patel pointed out that consumers might not go for this. 00:04:49.080 --> 00:04:52.320 To which Faber countered, what about a diamond encrusted mouse? 00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:59.080 Damn. She's good. Apple's upcoming artificial intelligence features will launch later than expected. 00:04:59.080 --> 00:05:02.960 According to Mark Gurman, apparently the Cupertino Collective needs more time to work out 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. 00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:15.960 Developers can, however, access some of the features now, thanks to iOS 18.1 beta release 00:05:15.960 --> 00:05:19.160 with a public beta release expected sometime this summer. 00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:23.840 Fun fact, beta release is also how doctors refer to the birth of TechLinked writer Jacob 00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:28.280 Rush. He wrote that to describe himself. He's not even here to defend himself. 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 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, 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.120 but it also performs at comparative speeds to current tech. 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:48.000 In addition, the transistor's tiny size could allow for denser memory storage, so it's 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. 00:05:53.520 --> 00:05:57.120 Listen, science is really cool. It's just not that fast. 00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.600 As you're at CERN, then it's really fast. 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:06.520 And high-tech exertion-saving exoskeletons are going mainstream with a pair of $4,000 00:06:06.520 --> 00:06:11.520 superpants created by Skip Innovations in collaboration with Arcterix, that clothing 00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:16.760 brand for wilderness explorers who lack the commitment to resort to cannibalism, but they 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 00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:27.440 leg day. This until it runs out of power, which only takes about three hours. 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 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 00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.120 a cockroach, come on back here on Wednesday. It might not be the afternoon, though. 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:47.400 It depends on your time zone.
