Somewhere Out There is a person who's never heard a single Tech news in their
life so cherish what you have
this show members of the European Parliament have
voted overwhelmingly in favor of approving legislation that will require
Apple products to finally get rid of
lightning ports in favor of USBC ports by 2024. yeah the rules would also apply
to all mobile phones tablets cameras and even to laptops starting in 2026 but the
important thing to focus on here is Apple being forced to do something they
don't want to do that's funny because Apple hates being forced to do things
and so do I wait do I feel bad for Apple no no you
know what no I don't because as GSM Arena points out unless you count the
iPhone 5's introduction of lightning 10 years ago Apple has been super slow to
adapt to all sorts of tech Trends from camera sensors to 5G connectivity to
wireless charging and always on displays apples like The Artsy student that turns
in their projects late rather than compromise their Vision oh no that's
Tech longer hey if you could believe it yesterday's vote was actually still not
the final step of the process EU member states have to Grant approval on October
24th and then the rule will be signed into law so I think we should get a few
more good thumbnails out of this one Speaking of things taking a long time
press reviews for Intel's Arc a770 and a750 graphics cards are actually out
right now I I would say pinch me but I
know I'm not dreaming Dr bug bones isn't here
doctor while the launch of a third player in the gaming GPU game is
undoubtedly a good thing how good of a thing it is St is still unclear even
after finally getting to see independent benchmarks because as pointed out by PC
World said benchmarks tell a roller coaster of a story the cards can blow
away the competition especially considering price to Performance but
only in specific circumstances dx11
gaming is subpar you basically need resizable bar active and xcss upscaling
supporting games is decent but hard to find that will also make it hard for
most people to go for one of these over the now most popular GPU the RTX 3060.
it seems like Intel is putting these out as sort of a down payment on Art
Graphics as a whole all it takes is a one-time payment of 289 and months of
fiddling with drivers to cement your place as an early adopter in the in the
history look the next one will be better okay just front me the money I'll get
you your frames man and just when I thought we were done reporting on the
Elon Musk Twitter Saga Elon win and changed his mind again the richest Edge
Lord in the world submitted a filing yesterday proposing that he go ahead
with his original offer to buy Twitter for 44 billion dollars what's he
thinking his mind is so mysterious and
horrifying I mean he may have been thinking that he was almost certainly
going to lose the case According to some legal analysts but the flip-flop may not
even protect him as the judge for the case ruled this morning that as of now
the trial will begin as planned on October 17th interestingly this news
came alongside the rollout of a number of new Twitter features including mixed
media tweets with images gifs and videos in one post and the edit button for
Twitter blue subscribers which will also show that tweet's version history so
canceling that person still on the table at least until Elon
takes control of Twitter and eventually turns it into X the everything app and
now I'm concerned that elon's employees are growing a black hole underneath spacex's headquarters

value okay sorry one more Elon related story and then we're done Tesla has
announced they're dropping the ultrasonic sensors from their vehicles
and will be relying solely on cameras for the company's autonomous driving
mode Tesla says after they dropped radar from some of their car ours last year
they've maintained or improved safety ratings which checks out if you've ever
tried to walk while covering one eye the longer you do it the better you get so
might as well matter the smart home standards set to usher in a wondrous new
world of intraoperable devices has had version 1.0 released by The connectivity
standards Alliance Google also just revamped their home app to make pairing
matter devices easier and release new matter-enabled smart doorbells along
with the Wi-Fi Pro router now everyone from Apple to Samsung and Google have
promised support for matter which frankly seems too good to be true we
have to force Apple to use USBC but they're just like on board for this
we're all gonna die aren't we after being announced back in 2019
OverWatch 2 has finally launched replacing the original OverWatch for
good rip I don't know whether it was
salty fans of the original or a hate raid from valorent but OverWatch 2 was
immediately hit by heavy DDOS attacks making it very difficult to get into a
game or maybe it was Legendary game creator Cliff blazinski salty about the
fact that OverWatch won steamrolled over his hero shooter lawbreakers as you can
see in the video game world today there is a lot to be pissed out of your mind
about hold on to that fire and use it after waiting a couple hours to get into
a map a company called vitrix has unveiled the pro BFG a controller for
PS5 PS4 and PC with swappable button and
stick modules so you can flip sticks around and add more buttons for fighting
games I'm gonna be honest when I first saw this I thought you could take the little stick and button module out and
use that as a fight stick and then I realized that would that would be stupid
what it should do is allow you to map swapping out modules to an in-game
reload button so then you could I think that would feel pretty cool the first
six times or so and tomorrow morning Google will officially unveil slash
announce slash detail it's hard to know what to call it anymore since they leak
all their own stuff on purpose now the pixel 7 pixel 7 Pro and pixel watch I
think James will be there to make a ShortCircuit video and I can't wait to
see his reaction to the watch which had a last minute leak showing that it has
some absolutely chunking bezels for a
watch called the pixel it's got far too little of them if you catch them okay
anyways the stream starts at 7am Pacific see you there I will not be there I'll
be trying to sleep come back on Friday for more Tech news and I'll too late
