listen up tech news is important and you
know what so are you Elon Musk has
revealed more details about his brain computer interface company near a link
during a live stream last night musk showed off neural links progress in
developing their system which consists of an n1 chip connected to many threads
thinner than a human hair these threads would be sewn by a sci-fi looking
surgical robot into the cortex of the brain being placed right next to real
neurons so they can detect neural signals and then they would connect to
an intramural implant just behind the ear and then that implant would then
communicate wirelessly through the skin with an external wearable link pod that
would house a Bluetooth radio and about it we're all going to be pod people
importantly without the link the implant
is basically inert so musk claimed during the livestream that during
testing on a monkey the primate was able to control a computer with its brain and
mirrorlink has petitioned the FDA to start human trials next year Oh Elon
what crazy scheme will you come up with next
he's already working on that pci express 4.0 is exclusive to Andy's X
570 motherboard platform at the moment sort of because last week a sous made it
seem like they were gonna be bringing the feature to some older motherboards
as well uh-oh small problem with that
AMD apparently shut down that plan so
this is the latest development in a story of flip-flopping Two Cities so the am DNA
system tale of calif originally AMD said
that 300 and 400 series motherboards could support PCIe 4.0 but then they
came out and said they would not enable support then a sous was like oh no you
didn't and released a list of their boards that could support the feature
with BIOS updates and then apparently they got a stern
finger wagging for me m.d. about that because enabling the feature on older
boards could cause reliability and consistency issues that would of course
potentially reflect badly on AMD so PCIe
4.0 is being disabled in all future a.m.
for motherboard biases for the older generation boards which this is
important to note Ryzen 3000 series owners and of course you need a Ryzen
3000 series chip in order to run PCIe 4 would of course need because older
BIOS's wouldn't necessarily work with the new chips and in fact there are even
some bugs on the BIOS's that do support the new chips that have prevented people
from booting their machines or lunching destiny 2 or what-have-you
now one bit of good news on the AMD front is that if you're one of those
people that's having issues with your system because your BIOS on your older
board doesn't support your new chip AMD is offering free boot loan kits
containing a cheap Athlon CPU so you can boot up with that update your system
BIOS then install your new CPU and ship the cheap one back to AMD it is a little
complicated but we think maybe aim to use just a little like drunk with power
from being at the top of the food chain for once
top of the drink chain in a not
unexpected turn of events Facebook is being chewed out by the US government
the internet giant was just handed a five billion dollar fine by the FTC or
in the Cambridge analytical scandal and some senators are even saying that that
isn't enough so a few of them sent a letter to the FTC calling their fine
woefully inadequate and asking about the
process that was used to determine the amount Facebook's David Marcus also had
to face some sick burns from the Senate
in a hearing yesterday when senator sherrod Brown compared Facebook to a
toddler who has gotten their hands on a book of matches and burned the house
down over and over they also said it was
delusional to think that people should trust Facebook with their money so on
the whole it's clear that Facebook has some legal hurdles to clear before it
can get Libre off the ground so I wouldn't cross my fingers for the launch
happening time soon yeah does anyone why did I even save it
now it's time for the quack buts brought
to you by the mas vie for the backpack you can plug in to charge all of the
devices inside it the mas v4 combines
the best features of the Grande and the black pack models with 20 liters of
capacity internal cable management to keep your wiring organized and an
available power adapter to keep you your charge from an outlet it also features a
pocket for the MAS go twenty thousand milliamp hour battery bank and a bright
orange interior so you can easily see what's in your bag right now you can use
offer code Linus to get 15% off everything on the law store so go to LG
GG / TL nas before to get yours today
Kwak buts they're kind of like nocturnal
gluts Nintendo has confirmed those rumors
about an upgraded original switch the new model called hack zero zero 1 - 0 1
really really well thought the tongue there it's gonna last four and a half to
nine hours on a single battery charge that's a big range compared to the two
and a half to six and a half hours of the original model other than the
battery life though there doesn't appear to be any significant change but we'll
see for sure when it hits shelves in August if you ask me Nintendo should
just fix the banking drift issue just can't stop you Tokyo yeah that's what
the script says device IDs for a new AMD
GPU codenamed Arcturus have popped up on
the web and have immediately got all the usual suspects suspecting is this a
high-end Navi card a low-end Vega card well regardless it's most likely a
workstation card not a gaming part so I guess we'll have to wait for more of the
rx 5000 series it's too bad cuz like
Arcturus it sounds like cool you know like I'm Arcturus yeah like good
Starcraft
every tech company and their dog is currently working on facial recognition
but Oakland has just joined San Francisco and Somerville in Ben the use
of the technology in public spaces the
band is being instituted on the grounds that facial recognition just ain't ready
for primetime and frankly I agree because I only want to be recognized
once I have properly done all of my makeup
thanks Bulgaria has a population of roughly 7 million and about 5 million of
them just had their personal information leaked by a hacker claiming to be
Russian among the leaks details are in couple well income health care
information and social security numbers the attack was reported by the NRA no
not that NRA it's Bulgaria's National
Revenue Agency but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it was the National
Rifle Association these are these are truly some crazy times that we're living
in and we're making robot brains arms and legs
so why not tongues iBM has unveiled
hyper taste a system made up of
electrochemical sensors that taste this
is a lot of finger quotes for one episode of tech lean that tastes
molecules in a liquid and identify their
fingerprint I heard that robots prefer salty treats to sweet ones but we could
probably find out if we just stuck a pretzel and a CD drive see what happens
and that's it for tech link guys come back on Friday cuz we're gonna party
like we're Rebecca Black you're gonna get down by your shirt
