today's tech news has got me up in the clouds flying first class popping
champagne living my life oh the flossie flossie
as you probably know people don't have as much money to buy stuff right now due
to the pandemic and smartphones haven't been immune to the economic downturn
according to a report from industry analytics firm gartner smartphone sales
are down over 20 percent globally compared to last year huawei
was hit the worst losing over 27 of sales but samsung also saw its numbers
dip by over one-fifth which is 20
interestingly apple hasn't fared as badly only losing about eight percent
whether that's due to brand loyalty or something else isn't clear yet hopefully
this will mean lower prices come black friday that are actually worth getting
up at 5am for and available online so we
can avoid that whole shopper stampede situation
not not advisable right now circle distance stampede
i'm getting there while we're used to electronics generally getting smaller
and sleeker as time goes on some things really buck that trend the xbox series x
isn't going to be the most thin and trim gaming console ever and now it looks
like the rival playstation 5 will be following its lead according to a
specialist from a russian video game publication the console will be quote
very fit or about twice as tall as the ps4 pro
basically atx it's an atx ps4 it doesn't
look like it'll be tower style a la the newest xbox but instead resemble a
horizontal box just taller than what we're used to but all sources point to
the ps4 having some powerful hardware under the hood and you know what they
say with great performance comes great chunk
oh that console is gonna be thick boy
damn that's a thicker hand boy
if you bought a core i9 9900k i hope you
haven't thrown away the box Intel has announced that it will no longer be
shipping the processors in those cool dodecahedron packages although the
processor should still be available for purchase for quite some time you'll be
getting it in a more unremarkable box fewer sides
well i like the amount of sides and it's not too surprising since the
new i-910 900k has recently arrived on
store shelves as Intel's newest next-gen flagship how am i gonna roll initiative
there's a joke about that already james if you still want to get your hands on a
box you could also use as a die in a table top rpg
then get a move on because shipments are due to stop in a little over five weeks
of course it's just a box at the end of the day but think about the fact that
cool trinkets are a multi-billion dollar industry just walk into crate and barrel
and check out all the weird decor that just kind of sits there i don't get that
we don't have that store we don't have crate and barrel now it's time for the quick bits dang it

quick no heads up Android users a certain
wallpaper is crashing phones if you set it as your background
apparently the issue is caused by color space incompatibility between the image
and the operating system causing phones to get stuck in a boot loop so play it
safe and use a different wallpaper like one of my gorgeous face
you're apple's no stranger to irritating
customers with high prices and they're at it again with their current lineup of
macbook pro models the base macbook pro comes with eight gigs of memory a rather
scant amount considering it's supposed to be a high-end laptop but the price to
upgrade to 16 gigs is now 200 bucks up
from the 100 it cost previously it's not clear what's behind the price change
whether it's a supply chain problem or the fact that it's just apple that's
good enough of an explanation for me moving on developer ebb software is in
hot water because the footage it showed of its new game scorn in an xbox series
x trailer was actually captured on you guessed it
yeah he thinks it's a pc
the gaming rig used an rtx 2080 ti which
should be a bit more powerful than the series x hardware although it's not as
big of a leap as we've seen with some past trailers we wouldn't blame anyone
if their enthusiasm for the game has ebbed a little bit
wow are you interested in picking up a playstation game before the ps5 comes
out this might be a bit of good news then sony is requiring all new ps4
titles to be ps5 compatible starting in mid-july this means the games will have
to provide the same features on ps5 as they do on ps4 and run without any
technical issues however older titles may not fare so well so be sure to check
first you know what happens when you assume
and the default operating system for raspberry pi's raspbian has changed its
name to the simpler raspberry pi os and
added a 64-bit version the developers say because the os has changed so much a
new name was in order i mean look at me maybe it's time i get a new name as well
this was this pupa this was supposed to be for Linus
sliders was supposed to host it and i was wanting him to say that his new name is Linus aurelius and he will have his
pie in this life for the next but now that can't happen that's our show so
come back on wednesday for another great episode of tackling i'm assuming it's
gonna be great but you know what happens when you assume there i see i brought it
back brought the joke back still don't know what happened to what when you
assume macaulay culkin if you're watching come on carpool critics let oh
that'd be fun
