1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Somewhere Out There is a person who's never heard a single Tech news in their

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:12,719
life so cherish what you have

3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:16,920
this show members of the European Parliament have

4
00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:21,900
voted overwhelmingly in favor of approving legislation that will require

5
00:00:18,539 --> 00:00:24,240
Apple products to finally get rid of

6
00:00:21,900 --> 00:00:29,039
lightning ports in favor of USBC ports by 2024. yeah the rules would also apply

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:33,059
to all mobile phones tablets cameras and even to laptops starting in 2026 but the

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:37,559
important thing to focus on here is Apple being forced to do something they

9
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:40,739
don't want to do that's funny because Apple hates being forced to do things

10
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:45,600
and so do I wait do I feel bad for Apple no no you

11
00:00:43,860 --> 00:00:49,680
know what no I don't because as GSM Arena points out unless you count the

12
00:00:47,460 --> 00:00:54,180
iPhone 5's introduction of lightning 10 years ago Apple has been super slow to

13
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:58,559
adapt to all sorts of tech Trends from camera sensors to 5G connectivity to

14
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:02,340
wireless charging and always on displays apples like The Artsy student that turns

15
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:06,960
in their projects late rather than compromise their Vision oh no that's

16
00:01:04,860 --> 00:01:11,760
Tech longer hey if you could believe it yesterday's vote was actually still not

17
00:01:09,540 --> 00:01:16,260
the final step of the process EU member states have to Grant approval on October

18
00:01:13,619 --> 00:01:19,260
24th and then the rule will be signed into law so I think we should get a few

19
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,939
more good thumbnails out of this one Speaking of things taking a long time

20
00:01:21,060 --> 00:01:31,619
press reviews for Intel's Arc a770 and a750 graphics cards are actually out

21
00:01:27,420 --> 00:01:33,659
right now I I would say pinch me but I

22
00:01:31,619 --> 00:01:36,840
know I'm not dreaming Dr bug bones isn't here

23
00:01:34,619 --> 00:01:41,460
doctor while the launch of a third player in the gaming GPU game is

24
00:01:39,060 --> 00:01:45,840
undoubtedly a good thing how good of a thing it is St is still unclear even

25
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:50,759
after finally getting to see independent benchmarks because as pointed out by PC

26
00:01:48,060 --> 00:01:54,840
World said benchmarks tell a roller coaster of a story the cards can blow

27
00:01:53,579 --> 00:01:59,640
away the competition especially considering price to Performance but

28
00:01:56,579 --> 00:02:01,860
only in specific circumstances dx11

29
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:08,220
gaming is subpar you basically need resizable bar active and xcss upscaling

30
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:11,879
supporting games is decent but hard to find that will also make it hard for

31
00:02:09,959 --> 00:02:17,340
most people to go for one of these over the now most popular GPU the RTX 3060.

32
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:21,239
it seems like Intel is putting these out as sort of a down payment on Art

33
00:02:19,020 --> 00:02:25,680
Graphics as a whole all it takes is a one-time payment of 289 and months of

34
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:30,840
fiddling with drivers to cement your place as an early adopter in the in the

35
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:34,440
history look the next one will be better okay just front me the money I'll get

36
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:38,400
you your frames man and just when I thought we were done reporting on the

37
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,540
Elon Musk Twitter Saga Elon win and changed his mind again the richest Edge

38
00:02:40,739 --> 00:02:46,620
Lord in the world submitted a filing yesterday proposing that he go ahead

39
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:52,739
with his original offer to buy Twitter for 44 billion dollars what's he

40
00:02:49,739 --> 00:02:54,480
thinking his mind is so mysterious and

41
00:02:52,739 --> 00:02:57,959
horrifying I mean he may have been thinking that he was almost certainly

42
00:02:55,980 --> 00:03:02,099
going to lose the case According to some legal analysts but the flip-flop may not

43
00:03:00,540 --> 00:03:06,480
even protect him as the judge for the case ruled this morning that as of now

44
00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:10,680
the trial will begin as planned on October 17th interestingly this news

45
00:03:08,819 --> 00:03:14,879
came alongside the rollout of a number of new Twitter features including mixed

46
00:03:12,659 --> 00:03:19,800
media tweets with images gifs and videos in one post and the edit button for

47
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,920
Twitter blue subscribers which will also show that tweet's version history so

48
00:03:21,540 --> 00:03:27,120
canceling that person still on the table at least until Elon

49
00:03:25,620 --> 00:03:32,040
takes control of Twitter and eventually turns it into X the everything app and

50
00:03:30,420 --> 00:03:37,739
now I'm concerned that elon's employees are growing a black hole underneath spacex's headquarters

51
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:41,760
it's gonna have everything in there now it's time for quick bits brought to you

52

60
00:04:15,180 --> 00:04:22,979
but quick bits the tater tots of tech news great taste almost Zero nutritional

61
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:26,400
value okay sorry one more Elon related story and then we're done Tesla has

62
00:04:24,900 --> 00:04:30,720
announced they're dropping the ultrasonic sensors from their vehicles

63
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:34,560
and will be relying solely on cameras for the company's autonomous driving

64
00:04:32,220 --> 00:04:38,880
mode Tesla says after they dropped radar from some of their car ours last year

65
00:04:36,180 --> 00:04:42,840
they've maintained or improved safety ratings which checks out if you've ever

66
00:04:40,860 --> 00:04:47,639
tried to walk while covering one eye the longer you do it the better you get so

67
00:04:45,060 --> 00:04:51,660
might as well matter the smart home standards set to usher in a wondrous new

68
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:56,639
world of intraoperable devices has had version 1.0 released by The connectivity

69
00:04:54,540 --> 00:05:00,780
standards Alliance Google also just revamped their home app to make pairing

70
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:05,460
matter devices easier and release new matter-enabled smart doorbells along

71
00:05:03,180 --> 00:05:09,120
with the Wi-Fi Pro router now everyone from Apple to Samsung and Google have

72
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:13,860
promised support for matter which frankly seems too good to be true we

73
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:18,240
have to force Apple to use USBC but they're just like on board for this

74
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:22,740
we're all gonna die aren't we after being announced back in 2019

75
00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:27,960
OverWatch 2 has finally launched replacing the original OverWatch for

76
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,880
good rip I don't know whether it was

77
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:34,320
salty fans of the original or a hate raid from valorent but OverWatch 2 was

78
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:38,699
immediately hit by heavy DDOS attacks making it very difficult to get into a

79
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:43,500
game or maybe it was Legendary game creator Cliff blazinski salty about the

80
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:48,600
fact that OverWatch won steamrolled over his hero shooter lawbreakers as you can

81
00:05:46,860 --> 00:05:53,280
see in the video game world today there is a lot to be pissed out of your mind

82
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:57,960
about hold on to that fire and use it after waiting a couple hours to get into

83
00:05:55,139 --> 00:06:04,320
a map a company called vitrix has unveiled the pro BFG a controller for

84
00:06:00,780 --> 00:06:06,300
PS5 PS4 and PC with swappable button and

85
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:10,139
stick modules so you can flip sticks around and add more buttons for fighting

86
00:06:08,699 --> 00:06:14,820
games I'm gonna be honest when I first saw this I thought you could take the little stick and button module out and

87
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:19,020
use that as a fight stick and then I realized that would that would be stupid

88
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:24,000
what it should do is allow you to map swapping out modules to an in-game

89
00:06:21,660 --> 00:06:27,660
reload button so then you could I think that would feel pretty cool the first

90
00:06:25,860 --> 00:06:31,919
six times or so and tomorrow morning Google will officially unveil slash

91
00:06:29,699 --> 00:06:35,039
announce slash detail it's hard to know what to call it anymore since they leak

92
00:06:33,419 --> 00:06:39,180
all their own stuff on purpose now the pixel 7 pixel 7 Pro and pixel watch I

93
00:06:37,919 --> 00:06:43,020
think James will be there to make a ShortCircuit video and I can't wait to

94
00:06:41,220 --> 00:06:48,660
see his reaction to the watch which had a last minute leak showing that it has

95
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,280
some absolutely chunking bezels for a

96
00:06:48,660 --> 00:06:54,419
watch called the pixel it's got far too little of them if you catch them okay

97
00:06:52,259 --> 00:06:58,500
anyways the stream starts at 7am Pacific see you there I will not be there I'll

98
00:06:56,460 --> 00:07:02,419
be trying to sleep come back on Friday for more Tech news and I'll too late
