when i was a child they told me that you cannot physically hold tech news
it's an abstract concept but my friends
i have held it and i did it like this
it feels like we've been hearing leaks and rumors about nintendo releasing a
higher spec switch pro pretty much since the first one came out but new leaks and
new rumors are making it look like the cycle may finally come to an end it
seems that multiple sources have informed bloomberg eurogamer and other
press outlets sorry don't feel bad that we didn't name you that the switch pro
may be unveiled by nintendo before e3 this year which formally starts on
june 12th wow furthermore the upgraded portable
console is expected to launch in september it's expected to feature a
larger 7-inch OLED display and have the ability to output 4k video through the
dock honestly i'm almost less excited to see
mario's nipples in 4k than i am to stop hearing about leaks every couple of
months but then now we're part of the problem mario's nipples batman you know
what else is part of the problem two massive tech industry associations have
sued the state of florida after its governor signed a bill into law that
would fine social media platforms for banning floridan politicians i for one
am extremely disappointed because the florida politicians make up like half of
those florida man stories
those are fun the lawsuit comes from net choice and the computer and
communications industry association or ccia who together count facebook twitter
google and other tech giants don't feel bad i didn't name you among their
members the law has come under fire for possibly being unconstitutional and for
also including an exemption for companies that own a
theme park or entertainment venue of more than 25 acres wow that is oddly
specific couldn't have anything to do with the fact that disney world is in
florida and obviously is a huge source of tourism revenue for the state
personally i'd prefer facebook world they're always watching
you are the ride and starting june 1st google will no longer be offering
unlimited storage on google photos at any quality previous policies gave pixel
owners the ability to upload unlimited original quality photos which were
ostensibly not compressed but actually
were compressed you can tell by the pixels and then non-pixelites were able
to upload unlimited high quality meaning lightly compressed photos but then a
while back google actually downgraded pixel users unlimited uploads to high
quality and then depending on the model that perk is staying for now but then
for everyone else all photos and videos uploaded to google photos after june 1st
will now count towards the standard 15 gigs of cloud storage allotted to every
google account but so what do you what do you do then
well you can either pay for google storage use the google photos tool to
review and delete photos to save space or shop around for an alternative cloud
photo service amazon's is apparently okay but you
probably want to wait around until you hear the uh rapid fire news items too

um in a sense-deleted tweet and video
amazon announced that they've got the solution to helping their overworked
stressed out employees achieve zen okay they're called
zen booths and you can find them conveniently spaced out on the warehouse
floor at the exact distance that you would normally travel before you need to
have a good crime the idea
sorry that's not how amazon described it they described it as a place to recharge
and re-energize so there's a computer in there and fabric-covered walls to
make sure that you don't hurt yourself when you're banging your head against
the walls while doing a yoga yoga pose or
yeah yoga or having a mental breakdown
honestly whatever it takes to get you meat robots
to shut up and sling more boxes i guess
unreal borderlands 3 studio gearbox has announced the game will be getting cross
play on all platforms except playstation
because of sony's royalty system for cross play which was revealed in
documents released as part of the apple vs epic trial you know it's a weird
thing because sony does like cool stuff like bringing uncharted 4 to pc but then
they stop me from experience what has basically
cringed the game with my friends who
have playstations for whatever reason
no it's not i don't think i have a single friend with a playstation i just don't have friends the leaks and rumors
about the rtx 3080 ti seem to be coming to a head in the run up to its expected
announcement this weekend video cards
with a z have published images and full specs for both NVIDIA's founders edition
cards which apparently won't have mining limiters and multiple third-party
variants which apparently will have limiters we still don't know if that's
true or the msrp for any of these but
that is very interesting one way or another
i'll be your friend thanks riley after that star citizen experience you had
especially speaking of mining police in sanvil england were surprised when they
raided what they thought would be a cannabis farm but that turned out to be
a cryptocurrency mining operation that was stealing thousands of pounds of
electricity apparently in the uk electricity has
mass man you guys really got it backwards over there not just the side
of the road and researchers have managed to restore some sight to a blind man by
genetically engineering a virus to carry light-sensitive proteins and then
injecting the virus into his eye and training him with special light
filtering goggles for seven months wow
after the training the man was able to locate an object on a table 92 of the
time that is amazing and elon musk hasn't even invented the cybernetic
eyeball yet maybe our future isn't cyberpunk it's virus punk i don't know
why i said that now of all time and and i don't know why i keep talking come
back on monday for more tech news and i'll show you how to harness its power
for yourself you can keep your jaw going like this for like minutes on end
