1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,640 - Today's the day. It's actually happening. 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,680 In fact, it already happened. Well, isn't that cool? 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:12,030 I've never seen anything like it. - [Man] What happened? What what? - Hey, want some tech tips? - [man] what happened? 4 00:00:12,030 --> 00:00:15,150 - NVIDIA launched the RTX 3060 graphics card yesterday, 5 00:00:15,150 --> 00:00:19,110 and by launched, I mean, shuffled a few boxes 6 00:00:19,110 --> 00:00:24,980 through their doggy door, where they were promptly set upon and devoured by the starving hoards of gamers. 7 00:00:24,980 --> 00:00:28,480 Of course, it's no surprise that the cards sold out almost immediately 8 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,930 given the ongoing stock shortage which is a shame since it's actually a decent mid-range card 9 00:00:33,930 --> 00:00:39,450 and a worthy successor to the GTX 1060. As I said in the full review, online at tech tips. 10 00:00:39,450 --> 00:00:42,730 Newegg is now raffling off chances to buy cards, 11 00:00:42,730 --> 00:00:45,910 which is just bonkers. - [Man] But overall 12 00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:50,430 But overall. It seems like invidious plan to cripple the 3060s mining power 13 00:00:50,430 --> 00:00:53,660 and introduce mining specific cards down the line. 14 00:00:53,660 --> 00:00:57,440 Didn't do basically Jack all for availability. 15 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,278 However, according to a new leak NVIDIA's first two mining cards, the CMP 38 checks 16 00:01:02,278 --> 00:01:08,280 and 48 checks appear to be based off of Turing 12 nanometer GPUs 17 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,490 instead of ampere eight nanometer GPUs, 18 00:01:12,490 --> 00:01:18,511 which is of course what the RTX three series is built on. So maybe they do have our best interests 19 00:01:18,511 --> 00:01:22,390 in mind after all. Stay tuned for later in the year 20 00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:25,470 when we find out that the 50 X is built 21 00:01:25,470 --> 00:01:31,575 on ampere and NVIDIA stole eight nanometers GPUs from the RTX division to make them ha ha or maybe not 22 00:01:31,575 --> 00:01:34,850 but maybe they will, - [man] Oh but I'll definitely make a video about it. 23 00:01:34,850 --> 00:01:38,710 A judge has ordered Valve to comply really? - [man] Ha ha ha 24 00:01:38,710 --> 00:01:42,830 That's so stupid. - [man] Oh I love it A judge has ordered valve to comply 25 00:01:42,830 --> 00:01:46,340 with Apple's subpoena asking for steam game sales data 26 00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:49,400 after Valve initially refused to provide it. 27 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:55,710 But then instead of submitting data from as early as 2015 Valve will only have to go back to 2017 28 00:01:55,710 --> 00:01:58,780 with the judge remarking that Apple has salted the earth 29 00:01:58,780 --> 00:02:02,930 with subpoenas in its quest to repel attacks from Epic games 30 00:02:02,930 --> 00:02:07,540 over the iOS apple stores, monopolistic practices. - [man] You get some dinner, you get us some dinner 31 00:02:07,540 --> 00:02:11,440 - Thanks for that. Apple says that their request is perfectly reasonable. 32 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,330 I mean, they only asked for data on 436 games instead of 33 00:02:16,330 --> 00:02:20,850 30,000 Steam Games. They totally could have done that. 34 00:02:20,850 --> 00:02:25,270 So you should be grateful. Valve, Valve apparently has until mid-March 35 00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:30,370 to comply with the order or else the company's conflict will be decided with a one V one 36 00:02:30,370 --> 00:02:35,370 between Team Apple and gave in, in that's right, there on it 37 00:02:35,490 --> 00:02:40,160 - [man] Neutral ground. - And the semiconductor shortage affecting every product that uses chips, 38 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,391 which is basically every product is reportedly 39 00:02:43,391 --> 00:02:49,170 going to get worse. Thanks in part to another type of shortage in Taiwan. 40 00:02:49,170 --> 00:02:52,260 The country is experiencing a massive drought, 41 00:02:52,260 --> 00:02:55,390 so chip makers like tsmc are buying truckloads 42 00:02:55,390 --> 00:02:59,820 of water in an attempt to get out ahead of the national water supply restrictions, 43 00:02:59,820 --> 00:03:05,513 so they can continue production. Because you see, their plants run on hydrogen fuel cells. 44 00:03:05,513 --> 00:03:11,220 - [man] Wow, - Wow, just kidding, the people who work there need to drink water ha ha 45 00:03:11,220 --> 00:03:16,650 and also you need water for other stuff for manufacturing. Anyway, aside from that, market analysts believe 46 00:03:16,650 --> 00:03:22,800 that it will take three or four quarters. So a year before semiconductor supply meets demand. 47 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,310 The situation is so bad that US president Joe Biden signed an executive order this week 48 00:03:27,310 --> 00:03:32,400 launching a review of the supply chain, and committing $37 billion 49 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,149 to addressing the chip bottleneck, right? I mean, we're a little late there, Joe 50 00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:41,010 - [man] Yeah - where was the executive order a year ago where he's getting rid of the tariffs, but 51 00:03:41,010 --> 00:03:44,900 - [man] Yeah - whatever, sup Riley 52 00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:50,640 - now it's time for quick bits brought to you by Dr. Fone, the seamless way to move your chat app message history 53 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,100 between iOS and Android devices. It's like you're getting an organ transplant 54 00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:58,100 except the organs, are your messages and attachments 55 00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:01,460 from WhatsApp, WhatsApp business, line, Viber, Kik 56 00:04:01,460 --> 00:04:05,810 or WeChat. and you can backup those organs too, nice. 57 00:04:05,810 --> 00:04:09,850 The good Dr. Fone also lets you preview and check any item you want and export it 58 00:04:09,850 --> 00:04:15,310 to your computer as an HTML file for reading or printing all while being completely secure. 59 00:04:15,310 --> 00:04:19,070 So check out Wondershare Dr. Fone by clicking the link below. 60 00:04:19,070 --> 00:04:22,800 - Thanks Riley. Hey, did you ever hear of BitQuicks - [man] Woo 61 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:28,500 - Bloomberg and Wired have both published deep dives into just what the heck happened to Stadia? 62 00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:34,530 Well, it turns out despite a lot of big talk the service received drastically lower sales than expected, 63 00:04:34,530 --> 00:04:39,510 and spent tens of millions of dollars per title, really? 64 00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:43,526 just to port major games from publishers like Ubisoft and Take-Two. 65 00:04:43,526 --> 00:04:48,230 Stadia's leaders were presumably shocked that such a strategy could lead to overspending. 66 00:04:48,230 --> 00:04:52,294 But I mean, I don't know what were they supposed to do with that money pay news publishers 67 00:04:52,294 --> 00:04:57,350 - [man] Hey - Australia has gone ahead and passed legislation designed to force Google 68 00:04:57,350 --> 00:05:02,119 and Facebook to pay for links to news articles, even after the two tech giants spent the last two 69 00:05:02,119 --> 00:05:05,210 weeks frantically making deals with publishers. 70 00:05:05,210 --> 00:05:09,980 The law is a bit Tamer than its original version. Now giving tech companies a longer window 71 00:05:09,980 --> 00:05:13,560 of time to make such deals before being forced into arbitration. 72 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,383 But, it's there now. So let's just hope 73 00:05:17,383 --> 00:05:21,553 that Google doesn't make the Koch brothers, Is that really how you pronounce this Ko Koch? 74 00:05:21,553 --> 00:05:25,010 I'm going to go with Koch brothers. Let's hope it doesn't make them go out 75 00:05:25,010 --> 00:05:29,480 of business when they suddenly realized this is costing a lot of money, which I, yeah 76 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,620 but I guess would be fine. Cyberpunk 2077 won't be getting its next update 77 00:05:33,620 --> 00:05:37,440 until mid-March, thanks to the notorious ransomware hack that struck developers 78 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,900 CD PROJEKTRED. The companies developers are reportedly, still locked 79 00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:47,030 out of their workstations. Oh no, we can't run good heavens because the hack 80 00:05:47,030 --> 00:05:50,565 which makes well, patching to gain a little Trixie 81 00:05:50,565 --> 00:05:53,650 - [man] Have you tried? - Although the source code might actually be out 82 00:05:53,650 --> 00:05:57,560 there somewhere on the internet. So maybe the, maybe the devs could like hack it back 83 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,684 from the hackers hack exception. And Twitter announced that they're testing 84 00:06:01,684 --> 00:06:05,080 a community's feature similar to Facebook groups, 85 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,445 as well as other features that could help monetize the social platform including tipping options 86 00:06:09,445 --> 00:06:13,250 and super follows 87 00:06:13,250 --> 00:06:17,093 Which would give paid subscribers access to special super tweets, 88 00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:21,549 from it's coming. Super tweeters 89 00:06:21,549 --> 00:06:25,200 - [man] There it is - Question though, I mean, would any of you pay 90 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,848 for photos of me with it like (smooth music) half of my clothing removed? 91 00:06:28,848 --> 00:06:32,074 - [man] Oh no - Hey hey don't don't tell anybody 92 00:06:32,074 --> 00:06:37,360 - [man] No - it's only for the fans. - [man] Yeah it is superman. And Facebook's portal device as well 93 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,380 as the Oculus Quest too will soon respond to the phrase 94 00:06:40,380 --> 00:06:43,800 hey, Facebook and execute voice commands. 95 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,950 Oh, goodie. Um, how about this? 96 00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:50,283 Hey, Facebook, let Oculus go, let them go, 97 00:06:50,283 --> 00:06:53,485 Oculus if you're in their blink twice. 98 00:06:53,485 --> 00:06:56,690 - [man] Oh you're a good singer - Hey Facebook, if you're listening 99 00:06:56,690 --> 00:07:00,520 this episode is over by the way. So we'll come back on Friday for more tech news. 100 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,640 The rest of you. Hey, you're not Facebook. Go celebrate. 101 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,919 - [man] Hey you're not Facebook - Woo - [man] Okay
