Sony finally signed a 10-year deal with Microsoft to keep Call of Duty on the
PlayStation proving that enemies can become friends but can they become
lovers I've already picked out a celebrity couple name Sony soft I'm
James Drive this is TechLink and this Sony news comes a few days after the
ftc's appeal to delay Microsoft's buyout was rejected basically telling the Xbox
company enjoy activism blizzard King I like that pun Sony probably seeing the
writing on the wall decided to capitulate and sign Microsoft's deal or
rather their New Deal Microsoft originally offered to guarantee all
existing Activision console titles on Sony back in January 2022. this old deal
is like the one NVIDIA got for the GeForce now cloud gaming service but the
New Deal only guarantees Microsoft will keep Call of Duty on PlayStation for the
next 10 years nothing else because Microsoft altered the deal pray they
don't alter it further or Sony's friends will all be put in carbonite etc etc
meanwhile in the UK Microsoft's case management conference to try and get the
cma's approval is happening today that's what I said meanwhile that's today so
Microsoft can focus on trying to woo those Stern Brits they like tea I
recommend detailed plans on how to assuage their concerns about the cloud gaming Market Yorkshire Tea actually and
fried bread right Donuts it's delicious no it's not Donuts
it's a different thing it's Savory it's still not pudding NVIDIA has decided
they will not be actively involved in the launch of the 16 Gigabyte variant of
the RTX 4060 TI but they swear they'll
be right back right after they pick up some milk at the store Team Green won't
even sell a Founder's edition of the card and they're not the only ones
uninterested in building it Hardware on box said every NVIDIA partner they spoke
to so far said that they won't be providing review samples nor are they
even sure when their own cards will be available imagine if your mom had no
interest in knowing when you'd be born and didn't want to show you off to every
friend or family member possible you'd probably be very upset if you weren't a
literal baby speaking of diapers leaks suggests the card could release as soon
as this week but it's hard to be enthusiastic for a 500 budget card
unless they're ASUS who decided to make a 16 Gigabyte 4060 TI more expensive
than a 4070 because NVIDIA already left off the logic train with their msrps why
not go nuts you want to get nuts come on let's get that's a lot of nuts AMD might
be finally filling out their Radeon 7000 series lined up with an RX 7800 and 7700
next month and maybe even a 7 900 non-xt
because we might as well and then we have it this leak comes from Moore's Law
is dead the king of putting red text on a black background he says that AMD will
announce the 7 800 and 7700 at Gamescom
2023 and the company I'm not going the
company expects to release the cards in September of this year he further said
that there was a 7 900 floating around but apparently board Partners don't
really want to touch it another leaker going by all the Watts tweeted images
that purport to be screenshots of 3D Mark times 5 scores for the 7700 and
7800 the latter card apparently scored lower than the 6800 XT and only beat the
6800 non-xt by 18 now if these numbers
are true and the price is high enough AMD will once again prove to the world
that they can compete with NVIDIA when it comes to disappointing everybody

man Corsair announced that they have bought the audio and mechanical keyboard
company drop really or according to Corsair's press release they've just
acquired certain drop assets without elaborating on what those assets are
also stating drop will remain a separate brand meanwhile in a community post drop
CEO expressed enthusiasm both the development and unlike Corsair is
certain that the entire company has been acquired hope hopefully the companies
discussed their relationship before someone gets hurt seems like Drop wants
a commitment while Corsair wants to keep things casual No Labels cornstarch just
wants to clap those asset cheeks of Corsair wants to see other companies the
Chinese government has funded a shanghai-based GPU startups project to
create gpus that sounds like a good job for them the startup hasn't built four
products ranging from gaming cards to AI training cards and supposedly their
cards will be compatible with Cuda NVIDIA's proprietary parallel Computing
platform and API it does everything it cuts it dices this could make the chip a
serious competitor to NVIDIA and be a real Boon to the Chinese market after
the US and post tax sanctions in the country after all Cuda is often regarded
as NVIDIA's Secret Sauce by enthusiasts of sauce-based metaphors Elon Musk is
how I say his name now has unveiled a new AI startup called xai which will be
staffed by both academic experts and former employees of Google's Deep Mind
and Microsoft's AI division this will be musk 6 company and he will reportedly
fit into his busy schedule by Leading the company through judicious use of the
time Turner from Harry Potter the stated goal of xai is the creation of true
artificial general intelligence that can uncover fundamental truths about the
universe in the past musk has called AI one of the biggest risks to the future
of civilization but he apparently believes that if Humanity wants to
destroy itself then he's just the man to pull it off and even better if he's in
control of it hey phones will soon have replaceable batteries again because the
EU said so I mean have you tried arguing with an Italian it's all hands yep the
European Council has finished the adoption procedure for regulations that
require all battery-powered devices including smartphones to have user
replaceable batteries within four years because contrary to popular belief
technology actually peaked 10 years ago and has only gotten worse since the
regulation also manates that manufacturers get better at both
recycling their old phones and making new phones out of recycled materials so
we don't end up with so many brick phones that we're forced to use as
actual bricks a new technology allows OLED screens to be repaired with laser
beams without disassembling the device YouTuber strange Parts released a video
or if you're nine to five Mac YouTubers
spare parts showed off how the laser can
fix broken traces which are tiny electrical Pathways within the OLED
panel in his video strange Bob spare parts
strange Bob spare parts shows the moment the visible line in the display
disappears as the laser Works its magic this Tech could be a huge Boon to phone
refurbishers something brought up by stranger things in his video but I don't
understand what this has to do with the fate of Hawkins Indiana and
back and also can you say Boone twice in one episode but I do understand that you
should come back on Wednesday for more Tech news and if you get sad waiting a
new game link will be out tomorrow watch it subscribe link or die get linked we
should acquire LinkedIn
