1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,880
there's a mistletoe on the mic boom

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,480
distancing distancing no throw it

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:13,840
you still have to kiss me oh and take note guys there's not going to be a tech

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:17,199
linked on wednesday but we will be back on friday with a special christmas

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:21,680
episode it's beginning to smell a lot like

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:26,160
christmas there's smells associated there have

7
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:31,519
been plenty of subpar game launches but cyberpunk 2077 may go down in history as

8
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:36,000
one of a handful to spark an actual lawsuit over a fiasco of a release

9
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:40,000
a report has indicated that this isn't even a suit that will be brought by

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,239
customers over a defective product instead this looks like a suit from

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:48,320
investors who felt misled by cd projekt red one new york based law firm that

12
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:51,760
focuses on securities litigation has already put out a press release saying

13
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:56,079
it's considering action against the studio and is encouraging investors to

14
00:00:53,680 --> 00:01:00,399
come forward this weekend cd projekt red stock fell by 15 after sony announced it

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,720
was yanking the game from the playstation store

16
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:08,640
so i hope you put your money in a safer investment like bitcoin

17
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:13,360
bitcoin still holding so far AMD has only

18
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,280
released three cpus in its new ryzen 5000 series and although reviews have

19
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:21,759
been very good they're slightly more expensive than we've been used to for

20
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:25,280
zen chips that's kind of what happens with market share isn't it however it

21
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:30,360
looks like team red will be introducing some new skus starting next month

22
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:34,640
reportedly we'll be seeing a ryzen 7

23
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:36,720
5800 and ryzen 9 5900 which should be

24
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:40,560
cheaper than the x variants of those chips currently on the market albeit

25
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:47,040
with lower tdps so there the other two skus are the ryzen 5 5600g

26
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:50,479
and the ryzen 7 5700g which both have integrated graphics

27
00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:55,119
hence the g and then you're worth another g

28
00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:58,880
g net yeah although those ones look like they're more for oems than diy builders

29
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,399
it'll be interesting to see what the pricing is you know if we're ever able

30
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:08,439
to actually buy them from someone that isn't a scalper but you know aren't all

31
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,439
corporations scalpers

32
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:14,560
there's also news today about Intel's upcoming 11th gen lineup it looks like

33
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:19,920
if you're in the market for a new core i7 or core i9 you'll be getting eight

34
00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:24,879
cores and 16 threads in both series while the i5s will stick with 6 and 12

35
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:29,840
respectively interestingly all skus branded as i5 or higher will use the new

36
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:35,519
rocket lake architecture and have Intel's new xe graphics built in but if

37
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:39,599
you're going with an i3 pentium or celeron you'll instead instead be

38
00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:44,239
getting comet lake refresh with Intel's older uhd 600 graphics it appears that

39
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:48,800
clock rates across the board will be similar to the previous generation so hopefully we'll get some good

40
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:53,760
overclocking headroom with these new chips and i'm sure team blue hopes that

41
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:57,280
they can stop getting trounced on by AMD in the value for money department i'm

42
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:01,040
ready to feel blue again today's quick bits are brought to you by the drop

43
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,239
panda wireless headphones nice timing guys they're thx certified and they

44

check out them out at the link below now it's time for the quick bits a lot took

50
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:33,920
effect in the us this weekend banning isps from charging rental fees for a

51
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:37,280
modem if you bought one for yourself it sounds kind of crazy this was allowed to

52
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:41,440
go on in the first place and although many isps weren't doing anything this

53
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:45,280
egregious some perhaps unsurprisingly found a way to make their hapless

54
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:49,120
customers pay for nothing almost as bad as las vegas resort fees if you're a

55
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:53,760
halo fan that's still rocking an xbox 360 it looks like microsoft is about to

56
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:57,280
red ring of death your online play as the company has announced you won't be

57
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:00,799
able to play halo using matchmaking starting in december

58
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:04,640
2021 breaking the covenant that's actually messed up you'll still be able

59
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:09,360
to play custom games if you have specific friends far away that you want

60
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:11,280
to invite who also have that old game

61
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:14,879
but forget about matching up against some rando taunting you in a language

62
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:17,440
that you don't understand or in a voice that's so high pitched it makes you even

63
00:04:16,479 --> 00:04:20,720
more mad that they're slaying you because they're 12.

64
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:25,440
i'm upset oneplus has a new phone concept simply

65
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:29,919
called the 8t concept that features a color changing back panel a special

66
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:34,720
metal oxide film embedded in the phone can change colors between silver and

67
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,560
blue and oneplus thinks that far from being just for looks it could end up

68
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:41,280
being useful to indicate incoming notifications

69
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:48,720
i don't put the screen on the table personally i like the idea

70
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:53,120
is that a lot of the rings reference my phone is blue

71
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:57,120
you'd sting you've seen it before if you're an apple fan in california

72
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:01,120
don't plan on visiting an apple store anytime soon as the company has shut

73
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:05,199
down all of its stores in the state due to guess what

74
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:09,600
the pandemic however you can still pick up gear

75
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,560
you've ordered online and you can also come in for any appointments you've

76
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:16,560
already made those legacy appointments no word on

77
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:21,039
when the stores might reopen in earnest and allow people to put their grubby

78
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:25,520
little hands on everything once again i just go to swipe and queen elizabeth

traitor to the crown like our friends down south i am not a loyalist
