welcome to tech links the only tech news show that's not exactly true the only
tech news show
Intel is continuing on the war path it was set on by mormon cuddly ceo pat
gelsinger he's always smiling he's a very nice man very nice and he's so nice
that he poached another one of AMD's top graphics architects
rohith verma AMD's former lead system architect for discreet gpus is now back
at Intel yeah he actually left team blue in 2013 after 14 years working there and
has worked at AMD for the past eight playing a key role in designing the last
few generations of Radeon gpus which were actually pretty good
like i mean vega was whatever it was for the price it was pretty good okay and
our dna too is you better bet that's pretty good okay yep although i'd
understand that most gamers didn't know that not actually being able to buy any
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
GPU shortage rohit joins raja kaduri the
former Radeon graphics chief in making the blue switch as i like to call it
i gotta tell you if Intel's gaming cards aren't good
i will feel like i've wasted so much time talking about you imagine they come
out and they're just sh that would be such an Intel thing to do
sony has finally unveiled the design of its new ps vr2 virtual reality headset
along with the finalized design of the psvr2 controllers and uh let me tell you
this baby looks smooth i feel like it might just slide right
off your face you know it splits
yeah the psvr ii borrows heavily from the ps5 design with a black body covered
in white plates so dbrand we will be expecting you to risk
legal action from sony to design custom plates for this thank you thank you
thank you if you weren't aware this headset is meant specifically for use
with the playstation 5. so if you are excited about using meta's newly
announced builderbot tool that lets you speak virtual places and objects into
existence psvr2 won't help you or it will by
stopping you from doing that doing you a favor yeah actually doing you a solid
don't do it don't you get away from there
nope nope it's coming
and NVIDIA's infamous ethereum mining limiter on its light hash rate gpus
which the company described as unhackable
may have been finally well and truly hacked the developer of the NVIDIA rtx
lhr v2 unlocker which is not a mouthful
claims that it will completely unlock the full mining performance of lhr
graphics cards when it launches this weekend this weekend wow all of NVIDIA's
hopes and dreams go down the toilet but
before all you crypto nuts eagerly downloaded into your thirst for
digitized coin beware
there is currently a battle going on in the github comments over whether the
tool is actually just malware with some users posting screenshots of antivirus
programs flagging the tools exe file as malicious although this is
nothing new for weird third-party things so you never
know apparently github is already looking into it so hopefully by the time
this video comes out we may have some answers personally i just want to find
out if it's real so i know whether this unhackable
meme will survive you know it's really unhackable what me

all i can say is hold on samsung made a big deal about its new 45
watt charger for the galaxy s 22 lineup but a number of tech outlets have
determined that the difference in charging speed compared to samsung's 25
watt charger is negligible at best in fact gsm arena found that using a
third-party 65-watt charger produces around the same charge in the same time
as both of samsung's chargers sure the phone might be just shy and we're making
it worse by talking about it but you should still probably avoid shelling
out the extra cash for the 45 watt charger don't be an enabler it should be
a shame it should be shy it should be shy there are some things that you should be shy
about bethesda has announced that it will be retiring its first party game
launcher app on Windows thank you and will help gamers move their games
and dlc to steam leading to much rejoicing amongst gamers
i would rejoice yes who saw this coming this is a microsoft studio now
who have generally hated the app since it launched back in 2016. yes
it's usually not great to see platforms consolidated like this like
but sometimes monopoly can be good
like when you win the board game amazon's astro robot seemed super
sketchy when the tech giant announced it last year but videos are now starting to
emerge from early adopters showing the robot creepily but accurately following
instructions so let's roll to like a specific room or to find a specific
person oh gross apparently it hasn't fallen down any
stairs like it was expected to but let's hold on to hope
it could still happen and when it does will it won apple's vr ar headset is
supposedly actually getting closer to launch with a new digi times report
claiming that apple is now in the second phase validation of the unit's design
with the launch targeted for late 2022. that's me too
you're gonna launch in late 2022 i think so honestly if i was gonna jump into
anybody's metaverse it would probably be apples i'm not even
joking i don't know if i can take many more of zuck's hydrofoil jokes cool you
reclaimed the neem but now you're killing it what even is uh did people
even know what that is a hydrofoil i don't know
the last time i played with the hydrofoil it was diddy kong racing and
elden ring the intensely hyped game from dark souls developer from software and
game of thrones creator george rr martin is apparently a freaking masterpiece
it's now surpassed super mario odyssey as the highest rated game on open critic
now that said it is a souls-like game so there's still a healthy amount of
suffering involved but it's the fun kind of suffering yeah you know
you know the kind yeah and your suffering is now ended
tech news night come back on friday for more because where else are you going to
get it well there's a there's a few other like false hardware nowhere oh
