00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.880
there's a mistletoe on the mic boom

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:08.480
distancing distancing no throw it

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

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:17.199
linked on wednesday but we will be back on friday with a special christmas

00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:21.680
episode it's beginning to smell a lot like

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:26.160
christmas there's smells associated there have

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:31.519
been plenty of subpar game launches but cyberpunk 2077 may go down in history as

00:00:29.279 --> 00:00:36.000
one of a handful to spark an actual lawsuit over a fiasco of a release

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:40.000
a report has indicated that this isn't even a suit that will be brought by

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:44.239
customers over a defective product instead this looks like a suit from

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:48.320
investors who felt misled by cd projekt red one new york based law firm that

00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:51.760
focuses on securities litigation has already put out a press release saying

00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:56.079
it's considering action against the studio and is encouraging investors to

00:00:53.680 --> 00:01:00.399
come forward this weekend cd projekt red stock fell by 15 after sony announced it

00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:04.720
was yanking the game from the playstation store

00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:08.640
so i hope you put your money in a safer investment like bitcoin

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:13.360
bitcoin still holding so far AMD has only

00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:17.280
released three cpus in its new ryzen 5000 series and although reviews have

00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:21.759
been very good they're slightly more expensive than we've been used to for

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:25.280
zen chips that's kind of what happens with market share isn't it however it

00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:30.360
looks like team red will be introducing some new skus starting next month

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:34.640
reportedly we'll be seeing a ryzen 7

00:01:30.360 --> 00:01:36.720
5800 and ryzen 9 5900 which should be

00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:40.560
cheaper than the x variants of those chips currently on the market albeit

00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:47.040
with lower tdps so there the other two skus are the ryzen 5 5600g

00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:50.479
and the ryzen 7 5700g which both have integrated graphics

00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:55.119
hence the g and then you're worth another g

00:01:52.479 --> 00:01:58.880
g net yeah although those ones look like they're more for oems than diy builders

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

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

00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:08.439
corporations scalpers

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:14.560
there's also news today about Intel's upcoming 11th gen lineup it looks like

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

00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:24.879
cores and 16 threads in both series while the i5s will stick with 6 and 12

00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:29.840
respectively interestingly all skus branded as i5 or higher will use the new

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:35.519
rocket lake architecture and have Intel's new xe graphics built in but if

00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:39.599
you're going with an i3 pentium or celeron you'll instead instead be

00:02:37.519 --> 00:02:44.239
getting comet lake refresh with Intel's older uhd 600 graphics it appears that

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

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:53.760
overclocking headroom with these new chips and i'm sure team blue hopes that

00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:57.280
they can stop getting trounced on by AMD in the value for money department i'm

00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:01.040
ready to feel blue again today's quick bits are brought to you by the drop

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

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:33.920
effect in the us this weekend banning isps from charging rental fees for a

00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:37.280
modem if you bought one for yourself it sounds kind of crazy this was allowed to

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:41.440
go on in the first place and although many isps weren't doing anything this

00:03:39.519 --> 00:03:45.280
egregious some perhaps unsurprisingly found a way to make their hapless

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:49.120
customers pay for nothing almost as bad as las vegas resort fees if you're a

00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:53.760
halo fan that's still rocking an xbox 360 it looks like microsoft is about to

00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:57.280
red ring of death your online play as the company has announced you won't be

00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.799
able to play halo using matchmaking starting in december

00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:04.640
2021 breaking the covenant that's actually messed up you'll still be able

00:04:03.040 --> 00:04:09.360
to play custom games if you have specific friends far away that you want

00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:11.280
to invite who also have that old game

00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:14.879
but forget about matching up against some rando taunting you in a language

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

00:04:16.479 --> 00:04:20.720
more mad that they're slaying you because they're 12.

00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:25.440
i'm upset oneplus has a new phone concept simply

00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:29.919
called the 8t concept that features a color changing back panel a special

00:04:27.840 --> 00:04:34.720
metal oxide film embedded in the phone can change colors between silver and

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:38.560
blue and oneplus thinks that far from being just for looks it could end up

00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:41.280
being useful to indicate incoming notifications

00:04:41.520 --> 00:04:48.720
i don't put the screen on the table personally i like the idea

00:04:46.080 --> 00:04:53.120
is that a lot of the rings reference my phone is blue

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:57.120
you'd sting you've seen it before if you're an apple fan in california

00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:01.120
don't plan on visiting an apple store anytime soon as the company has shut

00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:05.199
down all of its stores in the state due to guess what

00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:09.600
the pandemic however you can still pick up gear

00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:12.560
you've ordered online and you can also come in for any appointments you've

00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:16.560
already made those legacy appointments no word on

00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:21.039
when the stores might reopen in earnest and allow people to put their grubby

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
