1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:06,799
you know they always say if you like it then you should have put a ring on it

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:09,280
and i do like tech news it's not really fetishized when i do it

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:14,160
is it leaked specs for Intel's mysterious

4
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:19,439
upcoming discrete graphics cards are here a registry entry from the eurasian

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:26,320
economic union listed a development kit with 96 execution units which sounds

6
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:30,960
pretty impressive until you realize that that's the same number of eu's in the

7
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:36,079
integrated graphics for Intel's upcoming tiger lake desktop cpus and those things

8
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:41,840
are not going to be taken on the rtx 2080 anytime soon unless you're just

9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:49,200
into watching massacres now it would appear that this dg1 card is essentially

10
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:52,480
then a discrete desktop version of team

11
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,719
blue's own integrated graphics but then

12
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:59,680
wait there's more a Linux driver from back in october indicated that Intel is

13
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:04,960
working on multi-GPU support combining the horsepower of a CPU's integrated

14
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:09,439
graphics with a discrete graphics card because that worked

15
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:11,119
so freaking well when AMD did it so

16
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:16,400
maybe Intel's initial cards will be something like optane and they'll be

17
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:18,640
like to accelerate low spec systems and

18
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:22,000
that'll be good maybe i don't know i'm really looking for

19
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:27,280
positives here because Intel needs a win

20
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:29,759
like i'm starting to actually pity them

21
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,680
notorious leaker ice universe who has a pretty good track record for phone

22
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:38,960
related predictions claims that samsung will not be calling its next flagship

23
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:43,439
the galaxy s11 because we live in a postmodern nihilist hellscape and

24
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:48,000
numbers are just a construct the phone might end up being called the galaxy s20

25
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:52,720
i'm actually not sure whether this is worse or better than microsoft skipping

26
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:56,560
Windows 9 and apple skipping the iphone 9 like it almost makes more sense to

27
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:01,600
skip 10 than to skip one

28
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:05,600
i guess i don't know nothing means anything one silver lining here though

29
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:10,800
maybe the introduction of a new pro version of the galaxy buds to combat

30
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:14,239
apple's airpods pro i mean we love the galaxy buds but they had a few

31
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:19,360
shortcomings samsung just needs to add some active noise cancellation make them

32
00:02:16,239 --> 00:02:21,200
cheaper and i'd be into it as long as

33
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:25,840
they come with the phone for free and a chinese hacking group known as apt-20

34
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:31,040
has apparently managed to circumvent two-factor authentication in attacks on

35
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:35,599
industrial and government facilities sms message-based two-factor systems have

36
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:41,680
been compromised before but this attack involved stealing an rsa secure id

37
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:47,120
software token from a hacked system which can then be used to generate a

38
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:49,120
one-time security code now normally such

39
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:53,760
tokens require a physical piece of hardware like a usb key to be connected

40
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:57,840
to the computer that's being logged into but the hacking group was somehow able

41
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:01,360
to bypass that restriction targets of the attack are reportedly

42
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:06,239
located in nearly a dozen countries including brazil china france and the us

43
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:11,120
i don't know exactly what the takeaway is here but companies are tracking your

44
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,959
every move and your every attempt at security is a hilarious joke who needs

45
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,480
password merry christmas ladies and gentlemen now it's time for the buck

46
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:22,560

makes solving puzzles and challenges even more fun and hands-on our

53
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:51,680
recommendation check out mathematical fundamentals is it possible to drag the

54
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:55,920
number of tiles so that every row and column add up to the target some beside

55
00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:00,560
it i don't know you tell me head to brilliant.org forward slash TechLinked

56
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:05,360
and get 20 off today on to the quack bucks volkswagen has shown off their

57
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:09,360
idea for a robot that can scuttle around parking lots charging electric cars so

58
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:14,159
owners wouldn't have to worry about parking in designated charging spas

59
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:18,799
it's certainly a cool idea but so far it appears to be only that an idea i mean

60
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:22,320
should i make a big announcement and like a cgi video every time i think of

61
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:28,240
something cool wait actually we have people that can do that

62
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:33,440
maybe i should do it owners of 2019 and 2020 mazdas are experiencing sudden

63
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:37,520
stops as their car smart braking systems are reportedly hallucinating the

64
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:42,000
existence of obstacles in their hey you have a 29

65
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:47,120
oh boy we're a mazda fanboy over here mazda has recalled more than 35 000 of

66
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:50,639
the vehicles and so far no injuries or deaths have been reported

67
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,560
i mean if my car is going to have an acid trip i'd rather

68
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,800
imagine a fake obstacle than imagine a fake like

69
00:04:55,759 --> 00:05:02,080
freeway so that's good the wall street journal published a

70
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:07,039
report on christmas day alleging that huawei received as much as 75 billion

71
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:11,199
dollars in aid from the chinese government adding fuel to rumors that

72
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:15,280
the company is basically an extension of the communist party of course many

73
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:19,759
countries financially back home-grown tech companies but usually the aid they

74
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:26,639
receive is slightly less than a small loan of 75 billion

75
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:29,280
huawei has basically denied any um

76
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:32,720
wrongdoing and their tweet got i don't know i got at least 200 likes i think

77
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:37,520
rivian has shown off a pretty slick new feature for their electric pickup truck

78
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:41,919
the tank turn which allows the vehicle's wheels to spin independently of each

79
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:46,160
other rotating the truck without needing to move forward or backward

80
00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:51,600
and the truck's Windows didn't even shatter much in the process

81
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:56,560
your turn your move elon and speaking of teslas haptic suit maker tesla suit has

82
00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:00,320
unveiled a new glove that's designed for extended reality which will not only

83
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:06,720
track the position of a user's hands in vr or ar but also provide force feedback

84
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:11,600
okay now we're inventing more new force powers that was my biggest issue with

85
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:17,280
that movie spoiler alert there's a new force power like in rise of skywalker

86
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:22,400
like every 10 minutes they just pull a new force move out of their ass and

87
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:27,759
they're like oh the force does this now see you can't do that when you set up a

88
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:31,440
universe and create a set of rules you have to actually follow them because if

89
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:35,840
you don't follow rules then there's never any stakes nothing bad can ever

90
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:39,600
happen to the protagonists as long as they're gonna magically have a solution

91
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:43,919
to it and you just have to kind of sit and eat a couple pieces of popcorn and

92
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:47,199
wait for it to materialize if you think they're actually in any danger because

93
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:51,039
you know what all the force does is allow you to like move things from a

94
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:55,039
distance and maybe you know have some control over people's minds a little bit

95
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:59,360
and predict stuff like a bit but not that much then there's actual stakes

96
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,400
something could actually go wrong but if you can just blow lightning up at the

97
00:07:01,599 --> 00:07:06,960
sky or like you know project your presence

98
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:09,840
somewhere else or fly through space or whatever i mean that was the last one

99
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:14,319
but it was a problem with the whole trilogy quite frankly and you know leia

100
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:19,360
is a jedi master now what anyway the point is uh these gloves make

101
00:07:17,599 --> 00:07:22,960
it feel like virtual objects are actually in your hand so you can put one

102
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:26,560
on your wish list for next year if you're into being relentlessly mocked by

103
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,759
your family while you play vr games while they're all you know participating

104
00:07:28,479 --> 00:07:34,560
in the real world and when you know it that's it for this episode of TechLinked but tell you what come back on

105
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:38,160
monday and we'll see if we can sort out some more tech news for you enjoy that

106
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:42,319
eggnog while it lasts ladies and gentlemen what'd you think of star wars

107
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:45,599
oh i thought it was great freaking great

108
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:49,120
brilliant film changed cinema forever
