okay filming TechLinked on a tuesday feels wrong i'm not happy about this i am
ces 2021 is now in full swing or
one-quarter swing since tech companies are making virtually all their
announcements virtually did you like that yeah but a pandemic can't stop them
from making wild claims to stir up excitement so let's start with AMD who
announced their ryzen 5000 series mobile processors during a keynote this morning
laptops will be releasing in q1 for major players like ASUS hp and lenovo
featuring the new chips which range from the lowly four core eight thread ryzen 3
5300u to the beastly eight core 16
thread ryzen 9
5980hx wars AMD said these chips will be
the fastest mobile processors you can get showing a slide comparing one of
their top chips to Intel's current 10th and 11th gen offerings but Intel also
had a press conference today uh-oh announcing that their 35 and 45 watt
11th gen mobile cpus would also launch in q1 oh no who will win this battle of
the mobile chips the answer is apple
team green obviously wasn't happy letting team blue and red have all the
spotlight today so they made their own announcement also focused on mobile
parts gaming laptops featuring rtx 30 series mobile graphics cards will become
available starting january 26th and unfortunately it looks like those spec
leaks from last week were mostly correct while there will be variants of these
cards that deliver close to the power we might have expected there may be other
variants that offer drastically lower performance we don't know why NVIDIA
designed them like this but i'm going to blame the pandemic NVIDIA also unveiled
the rtx 3060 the non-ti version and
while it has significantly less cuda cores it has more vram 12 gigs compared
to the 36 dti's 8 gigs and a slightly
higher boost clock it's like NVIDIA pressed the randomize button on the GPU
specs generator they always do this it can make it interesting sometimes
anyways as expected NVIDIA also announced resizable bar support for
ampere gpus which will work with both Intel and AMD processors which is almost
something i would expect AMD to do instead but hey weird things happen at
ces i'm just glad we're doing this remotely it's much weirder in person
speaking of weird thing razer did their razer at ces thing and announced not one
but two wacky concept products today the first is project hazel a transparent
face mask with a built-in mic and amplifier so people can still hear your
muffled voice it's also equipped with a surgical n95 respirator and active
ventilation but i didn't see any mention of fans so i'm guessing that's just
referring to uh breathing
of course there's freaking RGB lights on it including on the inside so people can
still see your mouth even when it's dark and its charging case includes a uv
light to disinfect it when you take it off which you won't do because you won't
get it in the first place just like you won't get razer's other concept project
brooklyn an immersive gaming station consisting of a chair with a mechanized
ARM that emerges from the rear to unroll a transparent 60-inch OLED display in
front of you at the same time

ai-powered fluffy pet robot that will wiggle around to provide emotional
support somehow and there it is this year's cat pillow i knew it would show
up controversial social network parlor's troubles didn't end when it was taken
offline by basically everyone 50 terabytes of data found on the platform
servers has been leaked have been leaked thanks to parlor's
developers using a public API which allowed internet archivists to easily
troll the site for data and it's incriminating data
i don't know some of it i don't know i don't wanna no comment parlor is suing
amazon for violating anti-competition laws but i'm not sure what innovation
they're bringing to the competition in terms of data security if this is
true moving on the british heart rhythm society has identified a problem with
the iphone 12's magsafe connector researchers were able to easily
reproduce a situation where an iphone 12 placed close to the chest of a patient
with a pacemaker would cause the implanted device to stop working oh
that's a resting oof cardiac arrest yeah yeah i got it so
maybe get a different phone for your grandparents to facetime you until they
sort this one out russia's government has proposed fines for citizens who use
spacex's starlink satellite internet service because the country is working
on their own space internet called sphere with much cooler features like
heavy content restrictions zero competition
who would want to use field filthy american internet anyways it's probably
covered in mcdonald's grease and the dna editing technology crispr has been used
to write data to the dna inside living bacteria for the first time
man there's so much more badass now researchers at columbia university were
able to accomplish the feat by combining crispr with voltage regulation
techniques so it might not be very long before you can transfer me a file not
using a usb stick but using bacteria turn it up man you can't plug this
sucker in and if you've been waiting for this
episode to end good news come back tomorrow for more of a normal wednesday
type tech link it'll be way less weird trust me i love those way better here's
my braces dude what
