1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,359
sure tech news can't solve all our problems but that doesn't mean we can't

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:09,280
talk about computers for a bit as a way to distract ourselves from the constant

3
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:13,440
reminders that life is pain so come with me and let's go

4
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:16,880
have pain the graphics card shortage hasn't really

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:21,199
let up so GPU manufacturers have turned to re-releasing old cards every now and

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:25,680
then and now NVIDIA is once again trying to make something old new again with a

7
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:30,080
report indicating that a new rtx 2060 is coming our way early next year but this

8
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:34,960
time it'll have 12 gigabytes of gddr6 memory double the previous amount can

9
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:39,280
you imagine a card with that much vram ah i'm sorry i'm just trying to squeeze

10
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:44,719
some excitement out of this dry ass chip shortage is that a loud riley no

11
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:47,120
stop it i just like RAM the larger amount of memory will be useful for

12
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:52,000
folks wanting to game at higher resolutions or with better texture quality but i'm sure gamers will just be

13
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:56,559
happy to get their hands on a mid-range card again for a reasonable price which

14
00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:03,280
might not happen because GPU prices are still hella inflated but come on we have

15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,280
to hope he'll help me Jake

16
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:09,360
sticking with hardware news let's turn to Intel who looks like they'll finally

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:13,439
be updating the designs of its stock coolers with the upcoming alder lake s

18
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:17,680
CPU lineup other leg s will be using a new socket lga 1700 and while recent

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:22,720
Intel sockets have all been compatible with the same cooling solutions lga 1700

20
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:27,840
will be rectangular rectangles much sexier than squares

21
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,000
you know i like them long due to the new shape Intel is reportedly

22
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:38,479
changing the stock cooler complete with RGB lighting oh core i9 models will be

23
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:42,079
getting a taller model with full RGB while the rest of the product stack all

24
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:45,600
the way down to core i3 will feature a halo design similar to those you might

25
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:49,520
have seen on a ryzen stock cooler while the new stock coolers may look a bit

26
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:53,360
cooler they will still be very much identifiable as stock coolers so you may

27
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:57,360
want to check out third-party options if you're big on style points

28
00:01:55,439 --> 00:02:00,479
tony hawk's pro skater there's been plenty of discussion about

29
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:04,320
Windows 11's new look and system requirements but something that's gotten

30
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:08,560
a little bit lost is talk about performance improvements and we've just

31
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,400
gotten a better look at what to expect according to a microsoft executive

32
00:02:10,239 --> 00:02:16,560
Windows 11 will place a particular emphasis on what it calls foreground

33
00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:20,319
prioritization which will put background apps in a sleep state that can slash

34
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:24,720
both memory and CPU usage by about a third although this means Windows will wake up

35
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:28,640
faster across platforms it's gonna benefit laptops the most by saving a

36
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:32,720
significant amount of battery life but i know google chrome is just gonna ignore

37
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,599
the feature entirely it's it's google chrome you know

38
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:40,000
RAM what's that kick it out of the club

39
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:44,480
so selfish so selfish now it's time for quackity bakity bats brought to you by

40
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:47,680
drop and their pc38x gaming headset built in collaboration with sennheiser

41
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:52,239
it's got the same open back design as the pc37x but with re-tuned drivers and

42
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:55,519
a lower 28 ohm impedance for use with low power devices like gaming

43
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,280
controllers and a newly designed knit mesh headband for less heat retention

44
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:02,480
and better comfort it's upgraded like your brain is now that you've heard

45
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:07,680
about it so upgrade yourself even more by buying the drop pc38x today at the

46
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:11,360
link below and use code drop this for 20 off until september 29th i'm

47
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:16,080
almost positive that it's time for quackity bit bats boots or whatever i

48
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:20,879
said but i'll wait for the go ahead go okay no if you're one of the many people

49
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:24,640
who don't use microsoft edge like myself you've probably seen how

50
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:28,239
annoying Windows makes it to change default browsers but mozilla has finally

51
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:33,120
found a way around this and have updated firefox with a new method that will let

52
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:34,159
users switch browsers in one click holy

53
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:38,560
crap just in time for Windows 11 to arrive

54
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:42,959
and break it probably just give up use edge use edge foolish

55
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:49,360
consumer use edge use it use it

56
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:53,760
microsoft get out of my head ignore the voice

57
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,799
oh wait apple's here now the iphone 13 is set to be officially announced

58
00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:00,480
tomorrow but a last minute leak from our liable apple analyst has revealed that

59
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:05,599
we should expect a one terabyte storage option on the upcoming iphone lineup

60
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:08,720
doubling the previous maximum of 512.

61
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:12,159
wow one terabyte of storage on an iphone

62
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,159
still no room for a headphone jack

63
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:18,560
though headphones who needs those

64
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,120
no chargers either from the other side of the aisle it

65
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:25,680
looks like we have an official release date for Android 12 the fourth of

66
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:28,880
october which is under one month away as you might expect google pixel users

67
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:33,040
will start getting the upgrade that same day but other devices are just going to

68
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,440
be left in the ditch and just have to wait

69
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,120
forever hate ditches in the meantime you can i

70
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:43,840
don't know cry about how out of date your phone is you know iphones get

71
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:47,040
updates really fast get out of here

72
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,639
you might have noticed a huge jump in the value of your litecoin wallet last

73
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:54,560
week before the value went right back down it turns out this was due to a fake

74
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:58,800
press release that claimed walmart would start accepting the cryptocurrency

75
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,240
yeah good luck with that walmart quickly came out to clarify the

76
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,840
release was bogus but litecoin's value had already shut up by 20 in the

77
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:09,759
meantime so the press release may have been fake to pump up like coins value

78
00:05:07,919 --> 00:05:12,720
prior to a dump yeah we should definitely make crypto

79
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:16,000
our main currency i think it would go fine

80
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,960
we should just use bitcoin for everything right yeah you want some

81
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,880
bitcoin sure speaking of things we should be doing

82
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,800
there's been a breakthrough in the quest for fusion power a group of scientists

83
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:31,600
have showed off an extremely powerful magnet that can produce a field the

84
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:33,919
strength of 20 tesla which is very very

85
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,919
strong

86
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:41,759
the manual will be crucial for an upcoming fusion reactor due to come online in 2025 with the same project

87
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,840
aiming to build a fusion power plant by 2033 though i hope nobody tells doc awk

88
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:51,120
about this i hope nobody goes into the multiverse then multiverse

89
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:54,240
but if it's real we're already in the multiverse that's

90
00:05:53,039 --> 00:05:57,199
true riley and i hope this episode is over

91
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:01,759
because there's nothing else left in the script except for me to say come back on wednesday for more tech news how will

92
00:06:00,479 --> 00:06:06,000
you distract yourself from the pain of existence until then i don't know i hear

93
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:11,199
popsicles are pretty nice oreos are decent or tesla robots will the tesla

94
00:06:08,479 --> 00:06:14,639
robot feed you a popsicle i yes or i'm not gonna buy one
