tech news it contains 200 of your daily recommended intake of fat
delicious we're only a day away from the launch of Intel's new rocket lake cpus
for desktop the official launch but some folks that have already gotten their
hands on them have done some pretty cool things one intrepid overclocker has
apparently pushed the top end core i9 11900k to a whopping
7 gigahertz but more surprisingly they did this by putting 1.873 volts through
the chip without frying it another overclocker on youtube got his chip up
to 6.5 gigahertz at 1.678 volts so although you'd obviously
need liquid nitrogen to cool things off at these voltages it looks like there's
some pretty good overclocking potential with the new lineup of processors just
don't expect numbers this insane unless you run a cryonic
storage warehouse and have tons of extra ln2 on hand ellen 2
ellen are you one of those lucky folks who have an rtx 3000 series graphics
card maybe you didn't even pay a million dollars for it you might be pleased to know that resizable bar support is
finally making its way out to some models from aib partners if you're
unfamiliar with resizable bar it's a feature that allows more efficient vram
access and resultant performance gains the feature has already been present on
AMD Radeon cards when paired with a ryzen CPU as smart access memory but now
it's here for the rest of us almost it looks like gallax and gainward have been
two of the first aib partners to give its users access to the feature by way
of a video BIOS update NVIDIA did promise their resizable bar support
would be available on all 30 series cards by the end of this month so they
have about 48 hours to make good on that
not optimistic come on NVIDIA you can do it
let's go green there's a rather insidious piece of malware for Android
circling out there if you only update apps through the official google play
store this likely won't affect you but if you're a fan of side loading outside
apps you find on the internet because you're crazy be sure to take extra
caution the malware is sneakily called system update and displays a
notification that says system update searching for update with an official
looking google logo next to it which could easily bamboozle a non-eagle-eyed
user into thinking the phone is just looking for a routine update in reality
though what is this no oh i've seen that i think oh
no you're a side loader sometimes Colton
in reality though the code is actually stealing your information and sending it
to attackers when this message is displayed it doesn't appear there are a
whole lot of limits to what the malware can do it can even use your camera to
take pictures and steal from your clipboard so think twice before
installing that dodgy looking hot pocket simulator game or whatever the hell
Colton does hot pocket simulator now it's time for

won't be a packed east this year the event was originally planned for june
3rd through 6th at its usual home in boston but the good news is that penny
arcade is optimistic about holding packs west and packs unplugged in person later
this year well at least this year no one's going to get sick from those questionable nine dollar burritos that
they sell at the boston convention center that's a plus overpriced are you
still rocking a ps3 psp or ps vita for
some reason be sure to buy anything be sure to buy anything you might want for
those platforms soon as sony has announced it will be shutting down their
online store soon july 2nd for the ps3 and psp and august 27th for the vita the
good news though is that after those dates you'll still be able to download content you've already paid for
thank god i got to be able to play that pac-man
world rally 10 years from now visa is following mastercard's footsteps and
allowing cryptocurrency on its payment network the specific crypto it's using
usd coin maybe not a crypto you've heard of but it is tethered to the us dollar
making it more stable which is why they call them stable coins and it'll use the
ethereum blockchain to process transactions that sounds expensive right
now maybe this is a good time for lttstore.com to start taking your crypto
and return for a sweet hoodie huh should we next can we do it yes
yeah we support dogecoin for those of you who are half-life fans
it looks like valve is already working on a sequel to half-life alex the first
game ended on a cliffhanger naturally so a sequel would make sense though we may
not see it for a few years which also makes sense and unfortunately i would
not expect there to be a plot twist where the new title is actually
half-life 3. it's never happening guys let it go
let it go and there's a whole new way to mine bitcoin that does not require an
expensive asic or even a graphics card one creative enthusiast was able to
write a minor for an original game boy of all things connecting it to a
raspberry pi pico in order to get it connected to the bitcoin network
unfortunately the gameboy's processor isn't the quickest miner out there as it
can't even do one hash per second um so
it would take far longer than you know the current age of the universe just to
mine a single bitcoin but hey
just buy some batteries chuck them in
that's our show come back on wednesday for more hopefully we'll be with you
until the sun burns out
