00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.440
if you don't know the tech news you can't give any tech tips

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

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

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:20.000
ethereum on a GPU as the long-awaited merge is expected to be imminent

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

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

00:00:27.279 --> 00:00:34.320
which means that if you want to continue passively generating eth you'll want to

00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:39.200
invest or stake the network with however much of the cryptocurrency you want

00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:44.000
the more you stake the more you'll make back just like a regular investment and

00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:47.360
it just goes up all the time every time up up up

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:51.039
line goes up a big reason the merge is happening at all is because the ethereum

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:56.640
devs wanted to make the blockchain less of an energy hog with power consumption

00:00:53.360 --> 00:00:58.399
expected to drop by well over 99 percent

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:02.480
and while the transaction rate and gas fees shouldn't significantly ch change

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:06.880
post-merge the whole thing will at least be a heck of a lot greener

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:11.920
and still used for scams by people probably it's looking more and more like

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:15.760
the rtx 4090 is launching this year because the trickle of leaks about the

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:19.920
card has just turned into a full-on burst pipe it's coming in october

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

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:31.119
design from lenovo and another one from Gigabyte moore's law is dead just reported that

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

00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:39.600
the 4080 and 4070 following after that this is great news for folks who wanted

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:43.200
a shiny new graphics card under their christmas tree or their non-sectarian

00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:47.280
holiday plant and we should be getting some more news very soon at NVIDIA's

00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:50.880
upcoming project beyond event on september 20th and with as many add-in

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.600
board options as we're rumored to be getting hopefully NVIDIA goes beyond

00:01:53.600 --> 00:02:00.399
with the supply situation too everybody should have a GPU you know there's no

00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:05.119
reason why not it's probably just gonna be one of the 3000 series though

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

00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:13.520
gaming sites and creators go hands-on with their upcoming playstation vr2

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:17.120
headset before they release it early next year

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:20.959
the feedback overall seems to be really positive and that's not just because

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:24.879
there's probably at least a few gaming journalists in there who just haven't

00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:28.239
played vr very much at all oh it's like feels real

00:02:26.239 --> 00:02:32.959
where am i the ps vr2 is a huge leap ahead of the

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:37.040
psvr1 and even has some big improvements over the oculus quest too there's

00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:40.720
automatic ipd adjustments higher resolution pass through cameras eye

00:02:38.959 --> 00:02:45.920
tracking with support for foveated rendering and haptic feedback in the

00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:50.160
headset so no need to strap rumble controllers to your head anymore that's

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

00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:58.160
quick bits brought to you by brilliant the hands-on interactive way to learn

00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:01.760
stem topics but how do you go hands-on with things like numbers when they're

00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:05.920
abstract constructs that only truly exist on the mental plane the answer is

00:03:04.239 --> 00:03:09.840
brilliant they've got thousands of courses with new topics to learn each

00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:13.599
month like computer science fundamentals you can use brilliant to augment your

00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:17.760
college education or just use it to get smart because understanding even just

00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:21.440
the basics can help you troubleshoot all kinds of problems but if you need

00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:26.319
another reason the first 200 people to head to brilliant.org techlink will get

00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:30.720
20 off an annual premium subscription so go on get smart

00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:35.680
quick bids are always there they're pretty bad at picking up cues

00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:39.840
just let's just leave voice chat support for discord has finally made its way

00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:43.280
onto the xbox as of today bringing the popular line of consoles that much

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:48.480
closer to delivering a pc like experience especially as the xbox

00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:53.200
discord app allows cross-platform chat xbox rival playstation supports discord

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:57.040
account linking but still does not have voice chat support despite announcing a

00:03:55.200 --> 00:04:00.959
special partnership with the chat app earlier this year

00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:05.200
analysts looking at footage of the deal have determined that while sony and

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:08.720
discord were shaking hands discord was crossing their fingers

00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:17.600
speaking of xbox you probably remember the nintendo 64 classic goldeneye 007

00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:23.199
well 25 years later it's coming to xbox game pass alongside the nintendo switch

00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:27.840
making a genre defining game much more accessible to current audiences modern

00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:32.800
touches will be added like native 16x9 support and dual analog stick controls

00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:37.199
that's cheating i know right even if i'm odd job that actually

00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:40.880
but online multiplayer will be exclusive to the switch version they should really

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

00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.000
friends do your bond

00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:52.960
iOS 16 is going to try and automatically minimize your carbon footprint when

00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:56.639
something called clean energy charging basically it tries to figure out when

00:04:54.639 --> 00:05:01.680
the grid feeding your home is using cleaner energy sources and selectively

00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:05.440
charging at those times you can also set it to only accept energy produced by

00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:08.960
power plants whose facility managers haven't said anything problematic on

00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:13.039
twitter it's really cool there was a scare at northeastern university in

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:17.199
boston yesterday as someone sent a dangerously pressurized package to the

00:05:15.039 --> 00:05:21.840
school's vr lab with one person suffering hand injuries as he opened the

00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:25.759
parcel a note inside indicated the currently unknown sender sent the

00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:29.759
package because he had some kind of beef with mark zuckerberg

00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:34.720
did this person think zuck was there like anywhere people are using vr

00:05:32.320 --> 00:05:38.479
he shall be there also this package is full of hot ass

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

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:46.800
print robot designed for construction workers the little bot that kind of

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:51.440
looks like one of those autonomous lawn mowers can print blueprint elements like

00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:54.880
outlines of doors and walls onto bare floors at construction sites giving

00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:59.759
workers more time to actually build buildings rather than work on planning

00:05:57.039 --> 00:06:02.240
and soon that'll be a robot job too every building will either be boring

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

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

00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:18.319

00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:21.840
with an ai that's the deal but more about your job riley

00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:25.199
