00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:05.600
when dealing with live tech news remember always wear protective

00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:08.080
equipment we don't but we're professionals we're raw dog and life

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:13.280
baby it's dangerous microsoft has announced

00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:15.440
that xbox series x slash s and xbox one

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:19.600
consoles now support voice chat integration with discord after the tech

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:24.880
giant failed to acquire the popular chat platform back in 2021 it was a swing and

00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:28.960
a miss at a big net it doesn't always work there are some caveats though

00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:32.719
discord voice chat is only available to xbox insiders so you'll have to be okay

00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:37.840
with installing early versions of software which so far require you to go

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:42.239
through a complicated first time setup involving multiple discord session

00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:45.280
handoffs between your phone and console things probably would have been smoother

00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:49.120
if microsoft's acquisition went through but what should we just let them buy

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:52.879
anything if it'll run better this keeps all the laying people off the

00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:56.800
announcement makes xbox as the first consoles to support direct voice chat

00:00:55.039 --> 00:01:00.160
integration with discord even though they announced a partnership with sony

00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:03.600
last year right after turning down microsoft's offer and said there would

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:09.439
be some kind of playstation integration in early 2022. oh i'd be mad but sony

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:12.960
keeps making awesome exclusive games and bringing them to pc so if that's what

00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:16.640
they want to focus on i'm fine with that i also don't have a ps5 so

00:01:15.119 --> 00:01:21.680
speaking of consoles you might want to check that yours isn't melting as summer

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:25.200
heat waves batter parts of the globe nintendo and valve have both issued

00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:30.000
warnings to owners of the switch and steam deck respectively to avoid gaming

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:35.439
in temperatures over 35 degrees celsius otherwise you might experience a

00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:38.079
different kind of steam head steam

00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:42.320
i was thinking of the plastic but it's very poisonous the warnings are

00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:46.159
appropriate given that it's been over 35 degrees in tokyo for five days straight

00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:50.399
and the country's worst heat wave ever documented while record-breaking

00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:54.479
temperatures also afflict the eu and uk causing google and oracle servers to

00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:58.399
overheat and two british airports to shut down because their runways are

00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:01.840
fricken melting while there isn't anything you can do immediately to stop

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:06.320
the heat other than recycling your soda cans of course

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:09.759
it'll help you could also pull a Linus tech dips and slap a heatsink on the

00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:14.640
back of your switch or steam deck or grandma or anyone and elon musk has

00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:19.680
experienced another setback completely unrelated to twitter thank god because

00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:24.239
i'm tired of talking about that syncron has become the first company to implant

00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:29.200
a brain computer interface into a u.s patient beating musk's competing company

00:02:26.720 --> 00:02:34.160
neurolink to the punch syncron's stentrode system involves implanting a

00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:38.400
wire lace in the patient's brain by pushing it up through a blood vessel

00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:42.080
meaning no invasive surgery is required unlike existing prototypes where

00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:46.879
research participants have a big dewicky sticking out of their head have you ever seen those james neurolinx is actually

00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:50.959
called the stent chode syncron has already implanted stentrodes

00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:56.000
and four australian patients but received fda approval to do the same in

00:02:52.959 --> 00:02:58.640
the us back in july 2021. meanwhile

00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:02.000
neurolink hasn't even begun human trials which is

00:02:59.519 --> 00:03:05.720
which is probably monkeying around honestly this is probably good i think

00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:09.440
it's okay to take it slow with the whole cyborgification thing we have a lot of

00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:13.280
problems to deal with already before we add in that you know let's figure things

going by this quickly

00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:56.799
ludicrously high refresh rates are making their way from desktop monitors

00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:01.360
to gaming laptops alienware just announced new notebooks with 1080p

00:03:58.720 --> 00:04:06.400
panels that can reach a blistering 480 hertz you don't need that you do not

00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:13.040
thank you james it's an optional 300 upgrade for the AMD powered m17 r5 or

00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:14.959
the Intel powered x17 r2 which might be

00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:21.120
as hard to justify as those model names what do they mean did they just pick

00:04:16.479 --> 00:04:23.040
letters and numbers out of a hat m15 r8

00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:26.720
that one's next year's after killing google wallet and

00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:31.040
replacing it with google pay google is releasing a new google wallet to replace

00:04:28.960 --> 00:04:34.639

what do you want to use the same app forever time for you to switch it up dolly 2 the text to image generator

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:56.160
developed by open ai and the source of manifold internet memes will be made

00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:59.759
available to a million people currently on the waitlist in the coming weeks

00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:05.440
those lucky few will be able to generate 50 free images in the first month and 15

00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:10.800
every following month this is great but also entirely unfair so only a select

00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:15.440
few will have ultimate meme power this is meme elitism sign my petition to add

00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:20.320
a right to meme in the constitution and put open ai in jail microsoft has

00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:23.280
announced viva engage a new social platform inside its team chat app that

00:05:22.400 --> 00:05:27.919
looks almost exactly like facebook there's a

00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:32.560
news feed with text image and video posts and personal profiles that are

00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:37.520
like look look at that that's facebook i don't think microsoft understands that

00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:41.280
facebook's growth is declining because people don't like facebook they're like

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:45.199
the people who pick up litter and bring it back to you you dropped this you

00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:50.080
didn't mean to i'm sure and listen up canadians who may have bought an optical

00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:52.000
disk drive between 2004 and 2010 you

00:05:50.080 --> 00:05:56.800
could get 20 bucks without a proof of purchase thanks to a 29.7 million dollar

00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:00.400
settlement in a class-action lawsuit brought against large electronic

00:05:58.320 --> 00:06:04.560
manufacturers like sony phillips panasonic benq and more the companies

00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:07.440
were accused of price fixing on optical drives so the least they could do is

00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:10.960
give you some money for some double doubles and timbits see you there i

00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:14.639
never understand why these are a thing and the least we

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:19.039
could do is tell you to come back on friday for more tech news because again

00:06:17.039 --> 00:06:22.240
we are the only people qualified to handle it we go through rigorous

00:06:20.880 --> 00:06:25.759
training see i wouldn't have been able to
