tech news baby
never heard of it NVIDIA has once again defied all logic
and released the GeForce gtx 1660 super
it joins the four other 60 tier cards in NVIDIA's lineup the gtx 1660 the 1660 ti
the rtx 2060 and the 2060 super coming
in at an msrp of 229 us dollars the 1660
super appears to be positioned as a slight upgrade to the vanilla 1660 which
retails for around 220 us dollars but it's still quite a bit lower on the
louder than the existing 1660 ti at 280
AMD actually cut rx 590 prices just before the launch since the new
supercard infringes on its territory reviewers so far haven't been
incredibly impressed with the card's price to performance but that might be
okay because NVIDIA's real stars of the show this week are new features added to
the latest GeForce drivers very exciting
reshade filters image sharpening low latency tech they're all built-in
features now for NVIDIA gpus with those last two being direct answers to AMD's
recently added Radeon image sharpening and low latency features oh and
apparently there's a gtx 1650 super on
the way too because if you can't convince people to buy your products
just just confuse them i bought this
it's its own joke built in samsung held their developer conference keynote
yesterday and used the opportunity to tease some upcoming products including a
vertically folding phone which that sounds like a flip phone it folds down
to be half the phone's size most phones are are one phone size it's
a metric unit you know samsung also unveiled the galaxy book
book ion and galaxy book flex Windows
laptops but unlike their galaxy book s sibling which is powered by a qualcomm
processor the new laptops are part of Intel's project athena running 10th gen
core processors they're sleek with qled displays and wireless charging built
into their track pads i guess that works if you got a mouse attached but if you want to type
something i'm i'm sure samsung has this figured i'll trust those guys hopefully better
than they figured out their space selfie balloon which crashed into a michigan
horse farm never know what's gonna happen this baby fell out of the sky and
landed in our yard it's never boring on the welky farm it
was a pr stunt meant to send selfies into space
called spaces i made that part up and as william cll
on the forum points out by dropping it from space they've outdone Linus even in
spectacular fashion i said spectacular did you catch that and netflix is still
planning on rolling out a test for variable speed playback despite
opposition from a chorus of filmmakers the proposed feature would work just
like speed options available on many online web players including youtube
allowing viewers to watch content at a faster or slower speed judd apatow aaron
paul and brad bird and even more than them have called on netflix to stop the
rollout of the feature saying it would destroy films
which should be viewed as intended by the filmmakers although by that logic i
guess netflix should also not be available on smartphones and laptops
wait you watch netflix and cook dinner at the same time
yeah psychopath now netflix has defended the feature saying it's only one of many
that the company is exploring and as davindra hardware and gadget points out
most of netflix's content isn't exactly high art damn
davindra why you gotta do it dirty like that have you seen roma it's even better at
double speed

anyone get hyped about but one of them's a tube did you know
what fallout 76 has a bit of a class war on its hands players have taken to
attacking other players when it becomes clear that they've purchased bethesda's
recently launched fallout first subscription which provides special
outfits infinite item storage and private servers the attacks seem to be a
protest against bethesda's milking players for more money but at the very
least the subscription has caused something interesting to happen in
fallout 76 and i i think that's a first
oh what a win did you enjoy buying and selling the keys to cs go loot boxes
well you can't anymore you can't enjoy it or do it because valve says players
have been using the system to clean dirty cash so you'll just have to play
your games without potential fraud like a normal person i know go launder your
money at the pizza place on commercial drive
like everybody else and xiaomi's upcoming me note 10 will be the world's
first smartphone with both five cameras and a 108 megapixel sensor
