today may have been the biggest tech news day techlink has ever seen we make
this show in like a day how are we supposed to do this tech
industry ah nah it's okay we got this
let's go huge story number one
reviews for NVIDIA's GeForce rtx 3080 are out and it looks like the hype
wasn't entirely misplaced sure it's not quite twice as powerful as the rtx 2080
across the board but when NVIDIA said that they apparently meant specifically
in quake 2 rtx and minecraft rtx not necessarily in every game they didn't
even know people played other games so the confusion's understandable however
the rtx 3080 does fetch performance around 75 faster than 2080 on average
which is frankly sick and it finally makes gaming in 4k at
ultra settings and high refresh rates seem normal jensen you've outdone yourself i
love you i love you we'll have to see what AMD has to offer
when they release their big knabby graphics card they released a model of what we think is the rx 6900xt in
fortnite for some reason and more leaks have since given us a more
detailed look you know what i think it's got a chance it's got like three fans
3080s only got two you do the math
33 bro
huge story number two at their time flies event yesterday
apple unveiled the apple watch series six for 399 featuring the normal
improvements you'd expect to battery life usability but it can also now
measure blood oxygen levels track it make fun of your oxygen deprived friends
you can track it and make fun of all of your oxygen deposit friends
also announced was the first apple watch sc for 279. that's a pretty good deal
featuring the chip from the series 5 and a few other downgrades apple has made a
deal with singapore which will be paying its citizens up to 280 to exercise with
an apple watch what
apple also unveiled an 8th gen ipad with an a12 chip and an ipad air with a new
a14 chip suspected to be the same chip
that will be found in the iphone 12. the new ipad air uses the ipad pro's design
language and will even work with the pros magic keyboard dock so if you get
an 11-inch ipad pro at this point i don't think we'll ever understand each
other no it's silly like the macbook to the macbook
pro yes fitness plus is joining apple slate of
subscription services which will all be bundled under the mega subscription
apple one program except there's three tiers of oneness
which sounds confusing but also sounds like the mantra tim apple says as he
does yoga in front of his shrine to steve jobs
so it actually makes a lot of sense
i think they just hired the microsoft people for naming
and huge story number three facebook
took this opportunity to make this episode even more packed with news by
unveiling the oculus quest 2. the leaks were mostly true it's lighter
powered by a heftier snapdragon xr2 chip and has a higher resolution per eye
thanks to a single lcd panel what we didn't know but now we do is that it has
a 90 hertz refresh rate and will launch on october 13th for 299 for the 64 gig
model it looks like the new quest will sort of replace the rift going forwards
thanks to oculus link facebook said it's the best way
across the vr industry to play pc vr content which is objectively false
valve index oh i'm still on rift one the
dev kit well for you it might be this i'm ready no reviews are out already
with ars technica saying that even if you can get over the required facebook
login a number of changes have been made that make the headset just
worse in many ways but hey yeah it'll get cool games like assassin's creed and
splinter cell titles it's getting a splitter sent to the title why no
but i want to split the cell title to play everywhere
a new take on mist wow and also beat saber is getting multiplayer with bts
chibi characters i'm so excited yes
very confusing moving on project arya is facebook's prototype ar glasses and
they're also working on a tracking bracelet that could allow users to
manipulate a virtual hand with six fingers what
we need to move on to the quick bits six figures quick bits now the quick bits
are brought to you by the MSI clutch gm50 gaming mouse which features the bmw
3330 optical sensor with up to 7200 dpi
the clutch also has special omron switches rated for 20 million clicks a
lightweight and ergonomic design and support for millions of colors thanks to
built-in RGB leds so you can clutch
in style learn more about the MSI clutch gm50 at
the link below is the quick bits i hear i hear them
they're speaking to me my doctor told me i shouldn't listen to the voices sony
finally unveiled the price and release of the ps5 wow it's a busy day it'll
cost 4.99 which is the same as the xbox series x
with the disc driveless digital edition going for 3.99 both will launch on
november 12th in the us canada japan and a few other countries with the rest of
the world getting in on november 19th sony also announced a harry potter game
called hogwarts legacy a brand that's really testing the whole uh death of the
author concept but more importantly
sort of final fantasy 16 looks okay it looks kind of whack i thought you would
be so excited i've been hurt i've been hurt riley when
was the last good final fan seven it was this year fine
but before that before that yeah only tears maybe this
is finally the last one the ultimate final fantasy
the final final fantasy although apparently it's also coming to pc so
don't get your anime hair in a bunch if you were worried you wouldn't be able to get a ps5 because sony was reducing
stock also they say they aren't doing that now they're sending them on planes
apple is continuing their retaliation against epic filing a new court motion
claiming epic started a fire pouring gasoline on it and is now asking for
emergency assistance the filing again asks a court to allow apple to ban all
epic developer accounts including the one used to update the unreal engine
cupertino has been blocked from doing this so far by a restraining order but
they're concerned epic will use that account to insert malware or more direct
payment options like they did in fortnight
epic is not respecting the three tiers of oneness not at all
tick-tock competitor has capitalized on its rivals
instability by getting tick-tock's biggest star charlie dimelio who i know
all about to sign up it's not an exclusive agreement but it doesn't look
great on tick-tock owner bite dance who is considering moving the app's
headquarters to the us and or spinning it off into a separate company as part
of its deal with oracle thankfully there are approximately like two billion
clones of demelio doing their own flirty dances on triller instagram reels the
youtube shorts and everywhere else so i'm sure it's not that big a deal ea is
officially killing the origin gaming brand shortly after renaming origin
access to ea play the company is doing the same with the desktop app which will
now be known as the ea desktop app it's in the game
challenge everything i mean it's definitely less catchy but at least we
won't get it confused with origin pc anymore press f my dudes
his fingers lift them up
and microsoft's experiment with running servers under the seat
apparently went swimmingly i didn't write this this is him
the project had just one ate the failure rate of a land-based data center and
cooling is a lot better down where it's wetter also harder for hackers to gain
physical access to unless there are hacker mermaids oh no
ariel always looks suspicious to me well that's more than enough tech news for
one day come back on friday for more because i need a break no tech news for
at least one day okay please
it's too much
