oh wow freshly baked tech news hmm just
gotta leave that for a second there can i have some no no riley
don't touch it it's too hot you'll burn yourself let it cool you're too hot
please wow that's weird anyway after years of speculation leaks
and rumors had started to make us pretty confident nintendo was going to release
a switch pro with an upgraded processor that could output 4k video well
yesterday nintendo did announce a new switch with a bigger OLED screen
extended adjustable quickstand and a new dock with an Ethernet port but it's got
the same CPU and RAM from previous switch models and
yeah come on nintendo
yeah the company also says the design for new
switches joy-cons is completely unchanged so it doesn't look like that
they did anything to address the stick drift problem that they've been sued
over by switch owners now hardcore splatoon players don't fret yet because
the door may still be open for a true switch pro
some analysts point out that between the chip shortage and existing switch
consoles continuing to fly off the shelves nintendo just doesn't have a ton
of incentive to release a new model other than you know trying to keep us
and the fans happy but they clearly don't care about that you're gonna buy
the next toad tracker redux without thinking anyway he's so quaint what even
is that i love quaint things quaint things he's cute speaking of entities
that like lawsuits donald trump is back in the news after announcing separate
lawsuits against facebook twitter and youtube and each of their ceos the goal
of the litigation is to end shadow banning blacklisting and censorship on
social platforms which trump claims have disproportionately affected
conservatives as well as himself the former president is still banned from a
number of social sites including twitter and facebook after his unsuccessful
campaign to convince u.s courts nationwide that the 2020 election was
fraudulent most analysts seem to think these new lawsuits will meet similar
fates but hey it's a free country although trump might want to think about
asking the new pro-trump social network getter to add some censorship since it's
been overtaking with a bunch of very not safe for work art of sonic the head what
little blue guy can really get freaky
wow that's not where i thought that was going and current u.s president joe biden is
planning to issue new executive orders directing the ftc to create new right to
repair rules the right to repair movement has been picking up steam as
multiple states across the u.s have proposed legislation that would prevent
companies from restricting users options from repairing their own devices and
equipment it's unclear how applicable the laws will be for consumer
electronics joe biden only mentioned giving farmers the right to repair their
own equipment a reference to john deere's restrictive repair policies but
the signs are that unlike the uk's right to repair legislation that doesn't apply
to computers and phones the new ftc rules could force apple to maintain your
warranty even if you take your iphone to the janky repair shop in the back alley
downtown they're actually super nice there yeah yeah they've seen some

well you're gonna get them it looks like the gpus actually are becoming both
affordable and available again as prices in germany have hit a six-month low
driven in part by chinese miners flooding the market with used graphics
cards after their country cracked down hard on crypto mining so listen if we
can all hold off buying right away the prices should continue to go down and we
can meet on the virtual fields of battle once more without turning down the game
settings so low that we're not sure whether we're looking at each other's
avatars or low poly rocks can we do it to be fair my avatar is a
rock anyway so yeah to be fair i also just use low settings to see people
better you know you got to go sweaty gamer mode turn it all to low
see the models easy who needs grass apple's app tracking transparency
feature allows iOS users to opt out of being tracked by third-party apps and
unsurprisingly about 70 percent of users did so meaning advertisers have now
turned their dollars towards Android with ad spending on iOS dropping while
ad spending on Android rises yay for privacy but if google implements
a similar restriction we might be looking at the end of free apps as we
know them which is so confusing i thought those app developers were just
being nice christmas every day the pentagon has cancelled its 10
billion contract with microsoft for cloud services after years of lobbying
by amazon to choose the shopping giant instead the defense department now says
it will pursue a split contract with multiple cloud providers including
microsoft and amazon congratulations

just issued an emergency patch for the print nightmare flaw that could allow
hackers to take control what control of your machine
it could be kind of your own fault for still trying to print things in the year
of our lord 2021 but i get it you're quirky like that
it's traditional i had to print things to send it to the government the other day i was really mad about it and vivo
has patented a smartphone design with a built-in quad rotor drone equipped with
multiple cameras and in for what and infrared sensors
seems more like a piece of concept art for a bond movie but maybe it could
start a new trend of physically delivering messages again reject
modernity embrace carrier pigeons

that guy loved pigeons yeah love pigeons maybe too much so oh no riley the tech
