1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,440
if you don't know the tech news you can't give any tech tips

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,559
exactly and then what are you gonna give tips on huh the economy come on get real

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:15,280
just the tips it looks like this is the last day you'll ever be able to mine

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:20,000
ethereum on a GPU as the long-awaited merge is expected to be imminent

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:25,279
at the time this is going up it's in a few hours or something i feel like a high temperature

6
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:28,880
in case you haven't heard of it ethereum is moving to a proof of stake model

7
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:34,320
which means that if you want to continue passively generating eth you'll want to

8
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:39,200
invest or stake the network with however much of the cryptocurrency you want

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:44,000
the more you stake the more you'll make back just like a regular investment and

10
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:47,360
it just goes up all the time every time up up up

11
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:51,039
line goes up a big reason the merge is happening at all is because the ethereum

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:56,640
devs wanted to make the blockchain less of an energy hog with power consumption

13
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:58,399
expected to drop by well over 99 percent

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:02,480
and while the transaction rate and gas fees shouldn't significantly ch change

15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:06,880
post-merge the whole thing will at least be a heck of a lot greener

16
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:11,920
and still used for scams by people probably it's looking more and more like

17
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:15,760
the rtx 4090 is launching this year because the trickle of leaks about the

18
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:19,920
card has just turned into a full-on burst pipe it's coming in october

19
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:25,520
is it for sure not only have two new versions of the board shown up a monster quad slot

20
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:31,119
design from lenovo and another one from Gigabyte moore's law is dead just reported that

21
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:36,240
we'll be getting the rtx 4090 next month that's october that's it i think so with

22
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:39,600
the 4080 and 4070 following after that this is great news for folks who wanted

23
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,200
a shiny new graphics card under their christmas tree or their non-sectarian

24
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:47,280
holiday plant and we should be getting some more news very soon at NVIDIA's

25
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:50,880
upcoming project beyond event on september 20th and with as many add-in

26
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:55,600
board options as we're rumored to be getting hopefully NVIDIA goes beyond

27
00:01:53,600 --> 00:02:00,399
with the supply situation too everybody should have a GPU you know there's no

28
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:05,119
reason why not it's probably just gonna be one of the 3000 series though

29
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:09,520
they got a lot but it's something it's a human right and sony has led a bunch of

30
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:13,520
gaming sites and creators go hands-on with their upcoming playstation vr2

31
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:17,120
headset before they release it early next year

32
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:20,959
the feedback overall seems to be really positive and that's not just because

33
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,879
there's probably at least a few gaming journalists in there who just haven't

34
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:28,239
played vr very much at all oh it's like feels real

35
00:02:26,239 --> 00:02:32,959
where am i the ps vr2 is a huge leap ahead of the

36
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:37,040
psvr1 and even has some big improvements over the oculus quest too there's

37
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,720
automatic ipd adjustments higher resolution pass through cameras eye

38
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:45,920
tracking with support for foveated rendering and haptic feedback in the

39
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:50,160
headset so no need to strap rumble controllers to your head anymore that's

40
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:53,519
that's was a bad idea to start with i don't know why you now it's time for

41
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:58,160
quick bits brought to you by brilliant the hands-on interactive way to learn

42
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:01,760
stem topics but how do you go hands-on with things like numbers when they're

43
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:05,920
abstract constructs that only truly exist on the mental plane the answer is

44
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:09,840
brilliant they've got thousands of courses with new topics to learn each

45
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:13,599
month like computer science fundamentals you can use brilliant to augment your

46
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:17,760
college education or just use it to get smart because understanding even just

47
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:21,440
the basics can help you troubleshoot all kinds of problems but if you need

48
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:26,319
another reason the first 200 people to head to brilliant.org techlink will get

49
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:30,720
20 off an annual premium subscription so go on get smart

50
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:35,680
quick bids are always there they're pretty bad at picking up cues

51
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:39,840
just let's just leave voice chat support for discord has finally made its way

52
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:43,280
onto the xbox as of today bringing the popular line of consoles that much

53
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:48,480
closer to delivering a pc like experience especially as the xbox

54
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:53,200
discord app allows cross-platform chat xbox rival playstation supports discord

55
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:57,040
account linking but still does not have voice chat support despite announcing a

56
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:00,959
special partnership with the chat app earlier this year

57
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:05,200
analysts looking at footage of the deal have determined that while sony and

58
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:08,720
discord were shaking hands discord was crossing their fingers

59
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:17,600
speaking of xbox you probably remember the nintendo 64 classic goldeneye 007

60
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:23,199
well 25 years later it's coming to xbox game pass alongside the nintendo switch

61
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:27,840
making a genre defining game much more accessible to current audiences modern

62
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:32,800
touches will be added like native 16x9 support and dual analog stick controls

63
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:37,199
that's cheating i know right even if i'm odd job that actually

64
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:40,880
but online multiplayer will be exclusive to the switch version they should really

65
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:46,000
just call q as i'm sure he could rig something up oh you want to pone your

66
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,000
friends do your bond

67
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:52,960
iOS 16 is going to try and automatically minimize your carbon footprint when

68
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:56,639
something called clean energy charging basically it tries to figure out when

69
00:04:54,639 --> 00:05:01,680
the grid feeding your home is using cleaner energy sources and selectively

70
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:05,440
charging at those times you can also set it to only accept energy produced by

71
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,960
power plants whose facility managers haven't said anything problematic on

72
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:13,039
twitter it's really cool there was a scare at northeastern university in

73
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:17,199
boston yesterday as someone sent a dangerously pressurized package to the

74
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:21,840
school's vr lab with one person suffering hand injuries as he opened the

75
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:25,759
parcel a note inside indicated the currently unknown sender sent the

76
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:29,759
package because he had some kind of beef with mark zuckerberg

77
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:34,720
did this person think zuck was there like anywhere people are using vr

78
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:38,479
he shall be there also this package is full of hot ass

79
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:43,199
a cool bit of news from the robotics world as hp has shown off their new site

80
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,800
print robot designed for construction workers the little bot that kind of

81
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:51,440
looks like one of those autonomous lawn mowers can print blueprint elements like

82
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:54,880
outlines of doors and walls onto bare floors at construction sites giving

83
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:59,759
workers more time to actually build buildings rather than work on planning

84
00:05:57,039 --> 00:06:02,240
and soon that'll be a robot job too every building will either be boring

85
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:09,360
cubes or they it'll look like it came out of an art generator there's either no door

86
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:13,520
or it's all or it's all doors and it is time to stop generating this episode

87
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:18,319
come back on friday for more tech news and we promise we won't replace your job

88
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,840
with an ai that's the deal but more about your job riley

89
