so i'm in the middle of my studio tour and i get to the tech link set and i'm like oh no i got to show these guys the
tech news riley quick go write a script with the
tech news why did you need to tour the studio when you work here Intel launched
their 11th gen rocket lake desktop cpus last week and the flagship core i7 and
i9 parts were well let's just say the only kind of
attention they got was the bad kind of attention where they end up with a seat
next to the teacher's desk and it appears they got so much of it that the
core i7 11700k has already had its price
slashed from the nice 420 us dollars to
the much less me 405 us dollars that it
currently sits at at amazon and b h i think the bigger shock here though is
that there is actually stock of these chips available to buy during the
current global chip shortage it's almost like nobody wanted them
hey thankfully Intel has also just launched another processor line to
distract the market the company's new 10 nanometer ice lake xeon server
processors launched yesterday with 36
different models raring to compete with AMD's epic server chips which
they don't do that well i don't know what you got hiding up your sleeves pat
but it better be a miracle on ice you know the men's hockey team gold medal do
you believe in miracles in what is now apparently their mo apple has demanded
that facebook turn over thousands of documents related to the facebook gaming
platform and its vice president vivek sharma sharma is set to testify in
apple's trial against epic games next month which is why apple wants the
documents now valve was previously forced by a judge to give apple access
to their files after initially denying apple's request so it seems like that
may happen to facebook as well
the situation is made all the more weird given the fact that apple and facebook
have been arguing vehemently in public in recent months over the anti-tracking
feature that apple will be adding to iOS 14.5
it's kind of like challenging someone to a fight not even it's like being
fighting with them and then asking their
friend to hand you a baseball bat made of corporate records to use against your
person you're mad at or whatever it's just it's not gonna help you in the
fight it's just a power move you know feel more powerful and twitch is
expanding its policy against hate and harassment by applying it to streamers
conduct even when they are not on twitch under the new rules twitch users who
engage in extremism threats of violence ties to known hate groups or other
behavior prohibited by the policy could be suspended or banned from twitch even
if that behavior happens on another platform twitch is even hiring a third
party investigations firm to enforce the policy damn daniel
the changes come after a year in which twitch has had to reckon with multiple
incidents involving streamers allegedly harassing and assaulting women with many
of these incidents happening off-site but because this is the internet
opinions vary from this is good but not nearly enough all the way to this is bad
because twitter's my safe place to be an app people which i mean i think is why
jack created it in the first place isn't it just the mean social network hey wait
a second riley wait what ah what's happening now it's time for quick bits

the following will be the big quits of this episode thank you t-mobile has
officially launched their 5g home internet service after many months
trialling the 4g version of the service it'll be available to 30 million
americans with expected average speeds of 100 megabit per second although if
we're being honest the latency probably won't be great i mean sure get your
grandparents hooked up to it but for gaming
come on fiverr to the home place my grandpalossus go computer technicians in
china have apparently managed to upgrade an m1 mac computer which you are not
supposed to do craig told me that personally craig
federighi has never talked to me these individuals were able to upgrade the m1's RAM from 8 gigs to 16 gigs and its
storage from 256 gigs to one terabyte by
soldering on new chips so i think you
should be able to just show the geniuses at the apple store this video and
they'll let you do it yourself and keep your apple care right it works
it just works fine facebook has discontinued the oculus rift s a
shocking move that was actually totally
expected given the fact that the oculus quest 2 has outsold every previous
oculus vr headset combined facebook also said last year that they would do it so
look sometimes i just enjoy feeling a little surprised it never happens
because i'm so smart so i gotta fake it thanks and the french army is throwing
caution to the wind and including boston dynamics spot robot in military training
exercises spots terms and conditions do forbid anyone from using it to harm or
intimidate any person or animal as a weapon or to enable any weapon but i
guess that part of the manual wasn't printed on francais
to be fair though the army isn't strapping weapons to the bot yet but i
do think i'd feel kind of intimidated if that thing came around the corner in
like you know red white and blue stripes
yeah i mind you depending on the order that could be russia as well and a new
experiment may have broken physics unless it hasn't researchers in fermilab
in illinois have confirmed findings that subatomic particles called muons are
disobeying the standard model of physics how dare they the deviance doesn't meet
the normal threshold for statistical significance though so it could be that
everything is fine and we won't see any wormholes opening nearby anytime soon
but to know for sure we must return to the lab and also stay home hey see that
that's quantum however this universe has collapsed into
the one where this episode is over so come back on friday for more tech news
but also maybe no tech news reality man
