1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,480
so without further ado the tech news

2
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:12,800
i let the news speak for itself new graphics cards have been hard to come by

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:18,000
in 2020 so photos of a cryptocurrency mining farm equipped with 78 GeForce rtx

4
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:22,560
3080 graphics cards are understandably causing some distress in pc enthusiast

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:26,080
circles the setup was apparently built by simon

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,880
byrne in las vegas for around a hundred thousand us dollars with like paid him

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:35,120
with a hundred thousand or that's how much it costs and when electricity costs are factored

8
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:39,520
in it's capable of generating 128 thousand dollars per year

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,719
in ethereum what's your job and what's the price of ethereum is that

10
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:46,879
counting because that's why so all simon could potentially start

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:50,800
making money with his disgusting machine about 10 months from now why don't you

12
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:54,719
just start mining bitcoin instead simon it just broke the 28 000 mark that was a

13
00:00:53,199 --> 00:00:58,640
trick bitcoin will definitely crash at some point and then we'll be the rich

14
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:03,039
ones as long as i sell mine before that as if

15
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:07,840
the story wasn't bad enough many reports were claiming that a missing shipment of

16
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:12,720
500 000 rtx 30 gpus was found in south korea but it turned

17
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:17,600
out the original article was a joke haha posted for spain's version of april

18
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:20,400
fool's day which isn't in april

19
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:24,720
when will the madness end when the rtx 3080 ti releases it will fix everything

20
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:28,560
it's our greatest hope but perhaps we should look even further into the future

21
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:32,159
for some hope as rumors are starting to proliferate concerning NVIDIA's

22
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:36,640
successor to the ampere architecture reportedly codenamed lovelace

23
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:40,720
funkytown in case you're wondering that's not a

24
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:44,479
reference to linda but to ada lovelace the english mathematician writer and

25
00:01:43,119 --> 00:01:49,200
countess yes he's just diving into money

26
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,479
and NVIDIA's lovelace cards may be equally impressive so far the rumors say

27
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:59,280
that they'll be built on a five nanometer node instead of ampere's eight nanometer and the flagship gaming chip

28
00:01:56,159 --> 00:02:02,159
the ad102 will be capable of 66

29
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:06,079
teraflops of fp32 computing power around double that of the rtx 3080. how

30
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:11,200
exciting and distracting from our current GPU lacking reality

31
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:15,200
lovelace the very word fills my nostrils with a sweet

32
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:19,120
dream that's not the delivery i was going for but hey we'll take it and

33
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:22,640
Intel's not giving up hope either because more leaks have given us

34
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:26,879
potential idea of the performance we can expect from the company's alder lake

35
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:32,319
processors a geekbench result for an alder lake CPU has popped up sporting 16

36
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,239
cores and 24 threads the benchmark has so many cores normally you'd expect the

37
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:40,000
thread count to be a double the core count on a multi-threaded CPU but alder

38
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:44,080
lake will reportedly use a big little design similar to qualcomm's mobile

39
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,840
processors and apple's m1 chip meaning powerful and in this case

40
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:51,440
multi-threading capable cores are supplemented by smaller more power

41
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:55,680
efficient cores in any case if these geekbench results are to be believed

42
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:59,440
it's a setup that might work for Intel as there's some discussion that with

43
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:04,239
slightly higher clock speeds this CPU could outperform AMD's ryzen 5950x but

44
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:09,519
these chips aren't supposed to come out for at least another year so let's not

45
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:13,760
get too excited you know because AMD is probably going to keep making stuff too

46
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:18,800
it's time for the quick bits brought to you by ifixit maker of compact toolkits

47
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:22,560
with all the essential bits to fix small electronics i mean look at the minnow it

48
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:26,080
has 16 driver bits that work with most laptops desktops and smartphones and

49
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:29,519
it's not much bigger than an actual minnow which is a small fish there's

50
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,680
tiny little ones by the dock for those of you who haven't been outside very

51
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:37,280
much lately if you need more the more a has you covered with an additional 16

52
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:42,480
bits that will help you repair home appliances both have magnetic lids and

53
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:46,799
four millimeter swivel top drivers and we all use them here all the time and

54
00:03:44,799 --> 00:03:50,879
we're cool so get your own and be like us learn more at ifixit.com

55
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,879
Linus he's the coolest quick bits they're not

56
00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:58,640
what you thought they were lg has announced a new tv technology

57
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:04,239
it's not OLED or lead it's q ned or the way they want

58
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:10,159
it pronounced q-n-e-d it's a moped no ped no red you said look

59
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:14,879
what is this it's based on mini led technology and will allow tvs to have up

60
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:20,239
to 2500 dimming zones so it's pretty cool even if we do have to learn another

61
00:04:17,359 --> 00:04:25,199
acronym i'm oh fed up k-fed that's the tv technology

62
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,080
but i think the end has something to do with quantum dot which is nano-assist

63
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:34,240
otherwise and if i know it's an acronym boston dynamics has taught its atlas

64
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,880
spot and even its ostrich-looking handle robots to not only show off some frankly

65
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:43,120
impressive dance moves but to do so in perfectly timed collaboration with each

66
00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:47,120
other because they're robots they don't have individual personalities

67
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:50,080
and after the war they'll have something to do on our graves

68
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:57,280
last year apple filed a lawsuit against a company named corellium way cooler

69
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:01,520
name than apple which offered virtualized instances of iOS for

70
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:05,040
developers well corellium has actually won a victory in that legal battle with

71
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:09,440
a judge throwing out the portion of apple's lawsuit related to copyright

72
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:14,240
infringement corellium isn't completely off the hook yet but this show's apple

73
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:18,320
can be hurt their apple skin can be pierced they're just like mortals like

74
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:22,960
the rest of us apple trees definitely send me a facebook invite

75
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:24,759
when it's time to storm their

76
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:29,039
you there campus apple did do something good this week

77
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:33,120
though when it pulled the vibe together app off its app store the app promoted

78
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:38,240
invite only secret house parties that helped users covertly defy local covid

79
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:43,039
restrictions and restrictions from their partners against having uh orgies

80
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:46,960
which is definitely something you could not do with any other messaging app

81
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:51,360
both those things plus this one has vibe

82
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:56,080
you wouldn't get it and it appears that at t's experiment involving releasing

83
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:59,680
movies in theaters and on hbo max of the same day

84
00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:03,919
has paid off wonder woman in 1984 earned the highest box office opening ever seen

85
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:07,120
during the pandemic pretty low bar and broke download scores on the

86
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:13,360
streaming service again a low bar so a third wonder woman

87
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,479
film is being fast-tracked which is

88
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:18,319
well you have to go and check out our review on carpool critics to see our opinion

89
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,520
this episode is just getting less awesome as we go so now it's over come

90
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:30,080
back on friday for more tech news and guess what it'll be 2021 then

91
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,080
all the bad things will be gone

92
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,319
21 more like 20 20 fun
