why'd you have to address it
well i just took my set ming chi quo the apple leaker known for
his pretty good accuracy claims to have some details about apple's next apple
silicon max apple debuted a new version of magsafe in the iphone 12 lineup but
according to quo sources apple will be bringing magnetic charging back to the
macbook line in the next macbook pro which will come with 14 inch and 16 inch
versions now this might seem like just a rumor but mark german a slightly more
respected apple leaked guy said his inside sources had the same information
and additionally james don't get too excited
german claims that a redesigned imac is on the way this year along with two mac
pros one with a smaller design and an apple silicon processor and ones that's
essentially an update to the existing mac pro which will use Intel processors
now whether these turn out to be rumors or not there's no question that apple is
making big moves something that's recognized by Intel's new ceo pat
gelsinger who told employees recently that Intel has to deliver better
products to the pc ecosystem than a lifestyle company in cupertino
oh dang pat get him go and try it the
shade i love the energy keep it up whatsapp is delaying the planned update
to its terms of service agreement that caused mass confusion among its users in
case you're out of the loop last week whatsapp pushed out a notice to users
notifying them that they'd have to agree to the new terms and privacy policy
which included updates to how whatsapp processes user data and how they
integrate with facebook by february 8th or stop using the app that led to tens
of millions of people downloading signal and telegram two messaging apps that
like whatsapp offer encrypted messaging the difference being of course that
they're not owned by facebook the smog of the data hoarding world
it's not a perfect analogy google also hoards a lot of data also
smog doesn't sell his treasure and in doing so hurt other people's privacy
anyways the important thing is facebook sucks and we saw lots of cool stuff at
virtual ces this year but arguably one of the coolest trends was seen in the
realm of laptops 1440p displays have
been conspicuously absent from the notebook industry for a long time but we
saw them pop up in a number of laptops this week including the razer blade 15
acer nitro 5 and the lenovo legion 7 the world's first 16-inch qhd gaming laptop
qhd is kind of perfect for a high-powered gaming laptop since it's
sharper than 1080p but not as demanding as 4k which is kind of pointless on a
tiny little screen anyways imo we can
thank NVIDIA's rtx 30 mobile lineup for this which is also giving us a bunch of
thin stealthy gaming laptops that will look more normal when you can actually
go out in public again you won't have to explain to that cute server why your
computer's shaped like a dragon he understands
or she maybe there are they're just all into dragons now it's time for quick
bits brought to you by pulseway the software that lets you manage your

sources have apparently told gamersnexus we're reporting on gamer's nexus now
that NVIDIA has delayed the release of the rtx 3080 ti from its initial launch
window in february and it may be that the community's intense response to the
ongoing GPU stock shortage is the cause video cards reports that there's also an
rtx 3050 and 3050 ti in the works at NVIDIA but who knows when we'll see any
of those well if this ordeal has given us anything
it's patience also crushing anxiety we needed vaccine
for ppu it's expected that samsung will as usual
use qualcomm snapdragon chips in some of its galaxy s21 phones and its own exynos
chips in others but hold on but users with an exynos model
might not be so disappointed this time around specs for the two new mobile
chipsets reveal the exynos 2100 might actually be more
powerful boo i don't want that then the snapdragon
888 thanks to higher clocked components it could also be too powerful overheat
and explode in your pocket but maybe it gets caught on video and that will get
you on the news and stacey would think you're a badass for surviving it
lots to think about on their way out the trump administration is adding nine
chinese businesses including xiaomi to america's entity list of
firms that are communist chinese military companies xiaomi doesn't sell a
ton of products in north america but the list just kind of felt weird not having
them in there you know just felt just felt kind of empty you know like this is
where they belong google has completed their acquisition of fitness wearable
company fitbit for 2.1 billion
even though the us department of justice hasn't actually cleared the deal in fact
google is still under investigation for antitrust regarding that very
acquisition google says the doj's waiting period expired and they haven't
texted in a while so they just like went and did it
we actually have a thing to get to so and microsoft has said they're working
on a fix for a Windows 10 bug that corrupted hard drives super easily the
user would just have to open a system folder containing a one line command
that could be hidden in a zip archive a batch file or even just a shortcut icon
until the fix rolls out i'd play it safe and just not open any folders how will
you upload your homework though you're gonna have to go
inside the computer time for us to go to the weekend guys
