1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,640
Warning, the tech you are about to see may shock you if you drag your feet on

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:12,360
carpet and then touch it. So don't do that. NVIDIA's frame generation

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:15,480
and AMD's rival fluid motion frame

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,200
technology have been used simultaneously

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:21,760
to achieve up to three times the performance compared to gaming at native

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:27,640
resolution, or so claims South Korean tech outlet Quasar Zone. Team Red and

7
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:33,640
Green working together? It's unnatural, but also festive. It's December 1st. It

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:35,320
jingles my bells. That 3x boost in

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:40,560
average frame rate was observed in Cyberpunk 2077 at native 4K and ultra

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:45,120
settings, but impressive uplifts were also seen in Call of Duty and Ratchet &

11
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:52,640
Clank: Rift Apart. To pull this off, the Quasar Zone team plugged an RTX 4090 and

12
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:54,400
an RX 6600 into the same PC, installed

13
00:00:52,640 --> 00:01:00,440
both of their drivers, then hooked up the primary display to the 6600 while

14
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:06,760
the 4090 was set as the primary GPU in Windows. That meant the 4090's post

15
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,680
frame gen output passed through the 6600

16
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:14,840
and got its frames fluidly motioned, which looks like this I imagine.

17
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:20,120
Of course, this incredible setup is also horribly impractical since you'd need a

18
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:25,520
motherboard with two x16 PCIe slots and enough space for a 4090 plus an

19
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:30,280
additional GPU and enough juice for both of them. And they're thirsty boys. On

20
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:35,560
top of that, fluid motion frames is in beta, meaning crashes may occur and the

21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:40,120
feature deactivates during fast movement leading to massive frame drops during

22
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:45,120
motion, ironically making said motion frames incredibly unfluid. While the

23
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:51,160
average frame rate was pretty good, the 1% lows either barely increase or

24
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:53,280
actually decrease. On top of that, both

25
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:58,520
frame generating solutions can introduce visual artifacts and increase input lag.

26
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:04,000
So if you try this at home, you'll be spending a lot of time and money to

27
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,600
potentially make yourself sick. But hey,

28
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,640
that's what being a gamer is all about. Right.

29
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:14,640
Earlier this week, Elon Musk hosted Tesla's Cybertruck delivery presentation

30
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:18,960
where he let 10 lucky customers drive away in the newly launched vehicle while

31
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,720
taking a delightful break from letting himself drive away Twitter's

32
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:27,600
advertisers. Got him. Despite Musk promising the event will be the biggest

33
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:33,120
product launch by far on Earth this year, wow, many Cybertruck enthusiasts

34
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,640
found the event, quote, cringe and not

35
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:39,960
just because they decided to repeat 2019's infamous metal ball window demo

36
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:43,960
with a half-hearted baseball pitch. The spirit of it was intact. As of now, two

37
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:48,360
versions of the finalized Cybertruck are currently available, a dual motor

38
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:52,160
configuration for $80,000 and a tri-motor performance variant for

39
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:56,560
$100,000. Any mathematicians in the audience may

40
00:02:54,240 --> 00:03:01,560
surmise that neither of those numbers are equal to the promised $40,000

41
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:05,440
starting price back in 2019. Hey, wait a second. And it's not just a price

42
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:09,200
difference either. Both the total carry weight and the mileage range of the

43
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:13,960
Cybertruck are noticeably lower than what was originally advertised, leading

44
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:18,120
many to reconsider buying the EV. Though to be fair to Tesla, there is a range

45
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:22,800
extender option for the Cybertruck and all it will cost you other than the

46
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:26,600
additional cost is more of the truck's carry weight and about half of the

47
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,560
available bed space. But why would you need either of those things in a pickup

48
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:35,760
truck? It's just to look cool. And NVIDIA is rumored to be launching a new

49
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:38,960
GPU in China called the RTX 4090 D that

50
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:41,000
complies with the US's Chinese export

51
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:46,240
policies. Apparently, the reason the 4090 non-D isn't allowed in China is due

52
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:52,240
to its total processing performance or TBP being rated above 4800 trillions of

53
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:57,360
operations per second, also known as a lot. To account for this, leaks suggest

54
00:03:54,600 --> 00:04:03,240
the D will use an AD102-250 GPU rather than the AD102-300

55
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,200
on the original non-D. That's my rapper name.

56
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:10,040
Blender. vanilla swirl. Given that back in March,

57
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:13,480
NVIDIA changed the 4090's die to an AD102-301,

58
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:19,280
which has a slightly lower voltage maximum, going from 300 to 250 probably

59
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:23,120
represents a big change. While we don't yet know for sure, it's possible that

60
00:04:21,239 --> 00:04:26,560
not only will the CUDA core performance be affected, but the Tensor core

61
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:30,160
performance will be as well if the change is this significant. This would

62
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:34,120
make sense since Tensor cores affect the card's AI capabilities and AI

63
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:38,000
performance is a major factor in these export restrictions. Another unknown is

64
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:42,280
how the card will compare to the 4080 Super that is rumored to come out in

65
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:46,520
January. What we do know is that however much the 4090 D costs, it'll be too

66
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,400
much. Got him again. Just want to play some games, NVIDIA.

67
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:54,920
Now it's time for quick bits brought to you by iFixit. Their holiday sale is in

68
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:59,920
full swing and you can get up to 75% off plus an additional 25% off bundles.

69
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:06,000
We're talking tools, parts, parts for tools. They got it all as long as it is

70
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:08,280
parts and/or tools. That 25% off even

71
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:12,440
applies to their ever-popular Pro Tech Bundle, making it the perfect time to

72
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:16,360
kit yourself up to get some fixing done. Check out the sale at the link below and

73
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:19,360
use code FREESHIP for free shipping. Warning, it does not give you a free

74
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:24,160
ship. We have to say that legally. It was the best of times, it was the

75
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:27,160
quickest of times. Charles Dickens said that once. And now

76
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:31,280
it's quick bit time. Google's Threat Analysis Group has

77
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:36,920
discovered several massive and actively exploited vulnerabilities in Chrome and

78
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,920
Apple's WebKit in a 48-hour span.

79
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:42,560
They're working hard. On Thursday, Apple patched the flaws in WebKit, one that

80
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,200
allowed hackers to access sensitive information and another that could make

81
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:50,640
vulnerable devices execute malicious code. Google patched seven Chrome

82
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:54,520
vulnerabilities back on Tuesday, one of which already had exploits available in

83
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:57,920
the wild, though the company said nothing else about it. It's probably for

84
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:01,480
the best since Google doesn't want to help someone else get access to your

85
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,640
private information. They don't need the competition. That's for their special

86
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:09,560
information box that they keep under their bed. The ROG Ally just got way

87
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:14,240
better according to the newest episode of the official ROG podcast, a thing I

88
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:19,360
just learned exists. According to that pod, the Ally now has gyroscope support

89
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:23,000
and control customization options, allowing you to individually adjust the

90
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,720
sensitivity of each joystick. There's also control calibration options so you

91
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:30,800
can recalibrate the joysticks to account for dead zones that may develop over

92
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:34,280
time. Or you could install a compatible third-party Hall Effect joysticks and

93
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:38,720
never have to think about that ever until the end of time basically.

94
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:43,840
It's nice to have options though. An AI-powered tool from Google DeepMind

95
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:48,200
called Gnome has predicted recipes for

96
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:50,200
2.2 million new crystals with 380,000 of

97
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:53,320
those being stable enough to potentially enable the development of new

98
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:57,400
superconductors, batteries, computer chips, and more. Google says discovering

99
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:02,720
this amount of recipes would have taken 800 years using normal squishy human

100
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:06,560
intelligence and even longer to cook the darn things. Just cleaned the kitchen

101
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:11,320
and now there's vanadium everywhere. Vanadium? Vanadium. Even better,

102
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:17,200
Google's giving researchers free access to the data and 736 of the materials are

103
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:21,400
being synthesized and tested right now. So don't you worry. ChatGPT will have an

104
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:25,680
indestructible physical body soon enough. You will not be able to defeat

105
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:30,080
them. Scientists at Tufts University and Harvard have created itty-bitty

106
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:35,560
self-assembling robots made out of hundreds of cultured human trachea cells

107
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:41,240
that they're calling anthrobots. In the lab, these tiny transformers were able

108
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:43,400
to combine into a superbot to repair a

109
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:46,440
scratch in a layer of neural tissue without any need for genetic

110
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:50,280
manipulation. Maybe one day they'll be used to heal and regrow parts of

111
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:55,760
patients' bodies and to fight the equally tiny disease icons that secretly

112
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:58,360
cause all sickness. I liked it. I loved

113
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:03,320
it. And Google has issued an apology to the dozens of drivers and families that

114
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:07,960
Google Maps mistakenly directed down an otherwise abandoned dirt road in the

115
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:12,840
Mojave Desert, ostensibly to avoid a dust storm. The new route was supposed

116
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:17,120
to shave 50 minutes off their trip, but instead it just led to a washed-out dead

117
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:20,360
end and wrecked one vehicle badly enough that it had to be towed. This is just

118
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:26,000
like in the book of Exodus when the Israelites are wandering the desert, but

119
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:29,400
every few minutes Moses goes, "Ding!

120
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,560
Recalculating." And then the

121
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:34,440
Moses says, "There's an ocean here. Oh, whoops."

122
00:08:32,719 --> 00:08:38,479
But there's no need to recalculate when I direct you to come back on Monday for

123
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:44,400
more tech news. We won't wreck your car. I mean, we will try, but no promises.

124
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,400
Why'd you bring your car? Right.
