i have systematically examined today's
tech news and according to my calculations
it is indeed
we've already been talking a lot about processor releases this year but we
might actually be getting yet another one as rumors indicate that a refreshed
ryzen 3000 lineup will launch before the upcoming 4000 series a possible report
from the chip hell forums indicates that AMD might be rolling out three chips
with boosted clock speeds a ryzen 9 3900
xt ryzen 7 3800 xt and a ryzen 5 3600 xt
the timing of this release does raise some questions it's unclear whether AMD
is just trying to give Intel a little bit more competition against the 10th
gen chips or if there might be a slight delay with zen 3. either way you might
want to wait a little bit before buying ryzen unless you just really crave that
new CPU smell so i can tell you
it smells good and there's now a possible release date
for the new graphics cards coming from team green and team red a report from
digitimes suggests that both NVIDIA's ampere consumer gpus and AMD's big navi
lineup should be out in september just in time for you to be forced to ignore
them because you have to do homework i hated doing homework
i just didn't do it
although this report is unconfirmed it does match up with the other rumors
we've heard especially as september marks the end of the year's third
quarter which has previously been given as a possible release window
so it might turn out that our fears of big tech releases being delayed due to
the pandemic were unfounded but you can't blame us for being scared i mean i
didn't really think leather jacket man's whole bit about cooking up the world's
biggest graphics card was that funny is this a joke to you jensen this is our
kitchen set you get out he copied us
how dare he you know how iOS has always historically been a pretty tough
operating system to jailbreak i mean especially in comparison to Android well
one clever group of hackers has just bucked that trend as the uncover group
has jailbroken all iphones that use iOS 11 and later and yes that includes iOS
13.5 which was just released a few days ago how could you jailbreak a baby
you disgust me apparently uncover found a zero day bug
that was able to build a jailbreak around and the good news is that if
you're an iphone enthusiast that wants to open up the operating system while
still keeping security features for apps you find useful like apple pay the
jailbreak actually does leave those alone it's pretty cool news but it also
makes me wonder if apple's security standards are slipping a little bit i
wonder if someone on their security team is going to be put through the juicer

if that could happen right that's possible texas instruments is no longer
supporting some popular apps based on either c or assembly code it's
apparently to prevent cheating but the change means that many math programs and
games like doom will no longer work if you use a program that you think might
be affected your only recourse for now is to not update the firmware but if
you're really bored i think writing a naughty word upside down with numbers
should still work i checked still good
still good speaking of good Linus torvalds
announced a new version of the Linux kernel this weekend but he also made a
big announcement of a more personal nature as he switched to an AMD
threadripper 3970x for his desktop computer
what did you think it was this means it's the first time in around
15 years he's used AMD as his daily driver rather than Intel it also means i
owe some people a lot more money due to some bad bets
