hi there it's me mr tech news man i got
a legal name change when i found out i was hosting this video because the tech
news today is that exciting
NVIDIA launched the rtx 3080 at 6am yesterday exclusively to bots and
scalpers who overwhelmed the pre-ordering system and cleaned out
virtually all stock from seemingly every store minutes after the launch the one
place you could find in rtx 3080 right now is ebay where said scalpers are
reselling the cards for hundreds and thousands of dollars above msrp some
sellers are even selling fake cards under the name rtx 3080 paper edition
because it's not an actual card it's a piece of paper with a picture of the
card on it i am so sad NVIDIA apologized
for what can only be described as a complete cluster of a launch saying they
are now manually reviewing orders placed on their website to prevent scalpers
from ordering any more but some users took it into their own hands those
seventy thousand dollar prizes you see were apparently the result made by angry
fans who withdrew their winning bids which costs the sellers ebay fees and
may prevent them from being able to sell the cards at all until more stock is
available at which point they'll have no choice but to sell them at normal prices
like a like a schmuck one user even wrote a bot that clogged the ebay
listings with fake bids showing that the only thing that can stop a bad guy with
a bot is a good guy with a bot murica ps5 fans found themselves in an
only slightly worse predicament as due to some mixed messaging pre-orders for
the console went live early and were already sold out basically everywhere by
the time sony announced that the pre-orders would go live the next day
but david got one did he oh wow he was he had his finger on the pulse walmart
best buy and other resellers were swamped making it virtually impossible
to order the console many of those that did snag one have received emails saying
their shipment will be delayed due to high demand now this is all happening
while another scandal is emerging over ps5 exclusives apparently the only
launch games that will actually be exclusive to the ps5 are demon souls
which sony has clarified is not coming to pc even though their presentation
said it would be available on pc and destruction all-stars which were all
really generators
big splody game horizon forbidden west and spider-man
miles morales will both be available on ps4 no
i wanted a special box for my special
games have you heard about the SSD sony has also confirmed that the ps5 will not
be backwards compatible with the ps1 ps2 or ps3 but will run 99 of ps4 games
which is a higher number than we thought it would be xbox claims they'll avoid a
similar situation by penalizing retailers if they offer pre-orders early
and if you heard about game pass it's a great deal you can't afford not to buy
an xbox 35 a month wow and it's
happening the u.s government will ban tick-tock and wechat from app stores in
the country on sunday september 20th see
you later it's unclear how this band will affect existing users but new users
would be unable to download the apps starting next week i guess in that case
they wouldn't be new users they'd just be people it's also unclear what tik tok
can do at this point to avoid a ban they've got this deal going with oracle but apparently that wasn't enough for
president trump one tick tock executive reached out to adam mosseri the head of
instagram on twitter asking for facebook's help in their legal fight to
stay in the u.s which would not be in facebook's best interest but it's worth
a shot the government isn't stopping there though both epic games and league
of legends creator riot games are having their security protocols probed by the
feds for their ties to chinese gaming conglomerate tencent i'd like to see how
that goes down because the amount of gaming companies tencent owns is i think
all of them not sure about that one but like halo for exa that i think that's
tencent it's all been tense and the whole time now it's time for quick bits

AMD might be skipping desktop versions of its ryzen 4000 series chips and
jumping straight to the 5000 series software engineer patrick shurer said he
spotted a 12 core ryzen 9 5900x are you
sure and an 8 core ryzen 7 5800x so maybe
this is what we'll get to see when AMD announces new processors on october 8th
maybe it's not leaks are like life what is it even you know iOS 14 has arrived
on iphones bringing improved security and privacy features a cool double
back tap gesture that should have made it to Android 11 but didn't and widgets
a revolutionary feature that Android phones have had since 2010. what do i
sound bitter if i do it's because apple sucks you're not my real dad tim new
leaks have given us a good look at the google nest audio and the new google
chromecast which should both be launching during the pixel event on
september 30th this is the most concrete evidence yet that the new chromecast
will run Android 10 as it apparently comes with a remote sporting an ipod
click wheel hey that's my dad's click wheel
and yet another tesla driver has been found sleeping behind the wheel of their
car while in autopilot mode
i wish a 20-year-old man in alberta and his
passenger had both the passenger seats of their 2019 model s completely
reclined when they were being arrested they were sleeping
why does this keep it in alberta you don't even need autopilot that's true
it's very flat why does this keep happening tesla should add driver
sensors or something so that when the car detects someone doing this it just
drives them straight onto a spacex rocket and it's time for this guy to
blast off away from here come back on monday for
more tech news at which point my name will be changed back to riley i realized
crater it's a pretty small crater
