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

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:09.280
and i do like tech news it's not really fetishized when i do it

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:14.160
is it leaked specs for intel's mysterious

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:19.439
upcoming discrete graphics cards are here a registry entry from the eurasian

00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:26.320
economic union listed a development kit with 96 execution units which sounds

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:30.960
pretty impressive until you realize that that's the same number of eu's in the

00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:36.079
integrated graphics for intel's upcoming tiger lake desktop cpus and those things

00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:41.840
are not going to be taken on the rtx 2080 anytime soon unless you're just

00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:49.200
into watching massacres now it would appear that this dg1 card is essentially

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:52.480
then a discrete desktop version of team

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:54.719
blue's own integrated graphics but then

00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:59.680
wait there's more a linux driver from back in october indicated that intel is

00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:04.960
working on multi-gpu support combining the horsepower of a cpu's integrated

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:09.439
graphics with a discrete graphics card because that worked

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:11.119
so freaking well when amd did it so

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:16.400
maybe intel's initial cards will be something like optane and they'll be

00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:18.640
like to accelerate low spec systems and

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:22.000
that'll be good maybe i don't know i'm really looking for

00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:27.280
positives here because intel needs a win

00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:29.759
like i'm starting to actually pity them

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:33.680
notorious leaker ice universe who has a pretty good track record for phone

00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:38.960
related predictions claims that samsung will not be calling its next flagship

00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:43.439
the galaxy s11 because we live in a postmodern nihilist hellscape and

00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:48.000
numbers are just a construct the phone might end up being called the galaxy s20

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:52.720
i'm actually not sure whether this is worse or better than microsoft skipping

00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:56.560
windows 9 and apple skipping the iphone 9 like it almost makes more sense to

00:01:55.600 --> 00:02:01.600
skip 10 than to skip one

00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:05.600
i guess i don't know nothing means anything one silver lining here though

00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:10.800
maybe the introduction of a new pro version of the galaxy buds to combat

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:14.239
apple's airpods pro i mean we love the galaxy buds but they had a few

00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:19.360
shortcomings samsung just needs to add some active noise cancellation make them

00:02:16.239 --> 00:02:21.200
cheaper and i'd be into it as long as

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:25.840
they come with the phone for free and a chinese hacking group known as apt-20

00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:31.040
has apparently managed to circumvent two-factor authentication in attacks on

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:35.599
industrial and government facilities sms message-based two-factor systems have

00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:41.680
been compromised before but this attack involved stealing an rsa secure id

00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:47.120
software token from a hacked system which can then be used to generate a

00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:49.120
one-time security code now normally such

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:53.760
tokens require a physical piece of hardware like a usb key to be connected

00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:57.840
to the computer that's being logged into but the hacking group was somehow able

00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:01.360
to bypass that restriction targets of the attack are reportedly

00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:06.239
located in nearly a dozen countries including brazil china france and the us

00:03:04.239 --> 00:03:11.120
i don't know exactly what the takeaway is here but companies are tracking your

00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:14.959
every move and your every attempt at security is a hilarious joke who needs

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:18.480
password merry christmas ladies and gentlemen now it's time for the buck

00:03:16.720 --> 00:03:22.560
quacks brought to you by brilliant the problem solving based website and app

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

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:51.680
recommendation check out mathematical fundamentals is it possible to drag the

00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:55.920
number of tiles so that every row and column add up to the target some beside

00:03:53.360 --> 00:04:00.560
it i don't know you tell me head to brilliant.org forward slash tech linked

00:03:57.760 --> 00:04:05.360
and get 20 off today on to the quack bucks volkswagen has shown off their

00:04:02.959 --> 00:04:09.360
idea for a robot that can scuttle around parking lots charging electric cars so

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:14.159
owners wouldn't have to worry about parking in designated charging spas

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

00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:22.320
should i make a big announcement and like a cgi video every time i think of

00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:28.240
something cool wait actually we have people that can do that

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:33.440
maybe i should do it owners of 2019 and 2020 mazdas are experiencing sudden

00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:37.520
stops as their car smart braking systems are reportedly hallucinating the

00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:42.000
existence of obstacles in their hey you have a 29

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

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:50.639
the vehicles and so far no injuries or deaths have been reported

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:54.560
i mean if my car is going to have an acid trip i'd rather

00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:56.800
imagine a fake obstacle than imagine a fake like

00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:02.080
freeway so that's good the wall street journal published a

00:04:59.919 --> 00:05:07.039
report on christmas day alleging that huawei received as much as 75 billion

00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:11.199
dollars in aid from the chinese government adding fuel to rumors that

00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:15.280
the company is basically an extension of the communist party of course many

00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:19.759
countries financially back home-grown tech companies but usually the aid they

00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:26.639
receive is slightly less than a small loan of 75 billion

00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:29.280
huawei has basically denied any um

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

00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:37.520
rivian has shown off a pretty slick new feature for their electric pickup truck

00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:41.919
the tank turn which allows the vehicle's wheels to spin independently of each

00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:46.160
other rotating the truck without needing to move forward or backward

00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:51.600
and the truck's windows didn't even shatter much in the process

00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:56.560
your turn your move elon and speaking of teslas haptic suit maker tesla suit has

00:05:54.240 --> 00:06:00.320
unveiled a new glove that's designed for extended reality which will not only

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

00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:11.600
okay now we're inventing more new force powers that was my biggest issue with

00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:17.280
that movie spoiler alert there's a new force power like in rise of skywalker

00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:22.400
like every 10 minutes they just pull a new force move out of their ass and

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

00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:31.440
universe and create a set of rules you have to actually follow them because if

00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:35.840
you don't follow rules then there's never any stakes nothing bad can ever

00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:39.600
happen to the protagonists as long as they're gonna magically have a solution

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

00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:47.199
wait for it to materialize if you think they're actually in any danger because

00:06:45.440 --> 00:06:51.039
you know what all the force does is allow you to like move things from a

00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:55.039
distance and maybe you know have some control over people's minds a little bit

00:06:52.880 --> 00:06:59.360
and predict stuff like a bit but not that much then there's actual stakes

00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:02.400
something could actually go wrong but if you can just blow lightning up at the

00:07:01.599 --> 00:07:06.960
sky or like you know project your presence

00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:09.840
somewhere else or fly through space or whatever i mean that was the last one

00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:14.319
but it was a problem with the whole trilogy quite frankly and you know leia

00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:19.360
is a jedi master now what anyway the point is uh these gloves make

00:07:17.599 --> 00:07:22.960
it feel like virtual objects are actually in your hand so you can put one

00:07:21.280 --> 00:07:26.560
on your wish list for next year if you're into being relentlessly mocked by

00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:29.759
your family while you play vr games while they're all you know participating

00:07:28.479 --> 00:07:34.560
in the real world and when you know it that's it for this episode of tech linked but tell you what come back on

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

00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:42.319
eggnog while it lasts ladies and gentlemen what'd you think of star wars

00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:45.599
oh i thought it was great freaking great

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:49.120
brilliant film changed cinema forever
