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

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:09.280
talk about computers for a bit as a way to distract ourselves from the constant

00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:13.440
reminders that life is pain so come with me and let's go

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:16.880
have pain the graphics card shortage hasn't really

00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:21.199
let up so GPU manufacturers have turned to re-releasing old cards every now and

00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:25.680
then and now NVIDIA is once again trying to make something old new again with a

00:00:23.119 --> 00:00:30.080
report indicating that a new rtx 2060 is coming our way early next year but this

00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:34.960
time it'll have 12 gigabytes of gddr6 memory double the previous amount can

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

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:44.719
some excitement out of this dry ass chip shortage is that a loud riley no

00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:47.120
stop it i just like RAM the larger amount of memory will be useful for

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

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:56.559
happy to get their hands on a mid-range card again for a reasonable price which

00:00:54.640 --> 00:01:03.280
might not happen because GPU prices are still hella inflated but come on we have

00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:03.280
to hope he'll help me Jake

00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:09.360
sticking with hardware news let's turn to Intel who looks like they'll finally

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:13.439
be updating the designs of its stock coolers with the upcoming alder lake s

00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:17.680
CPU lineup other leg s will be using a new socket lga 1700 and while recent

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:22.720
Intel sockets have all been compatible with the same cooling solutions lga 1700

00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:27.840
will be rectangular rectangles much sexier than squares

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:34.000
you know i like them long due to the new shape Intel is reportedly

00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:38.479
changing the stock cooler complete with RGB lighting oh core i9 models will be

00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:42.079
getting a taller model with full RGB while the rest of the product stack all

00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:45.600
the way down to core i3 will feature a halo design similar to those you might

00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:49.520
have seen on a ryzen stock cooler while the new stock coolers may look a bit

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:53.360
cooler they will still be very much identifiable as stock coolers so you may

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:57.360
want to check out third-party options if you're big on style points

00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:00.479
tony hawk's pro skater there's been plenty of discussion about

00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:04.320
Windows 11's new look and system requirements but something that's gotten

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:08.560
a little bit lost is talk about performance improvements and we've just

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:12.400
gotten a better look at what to expect according to a microsoft executive

00:02:10.239 --> 00:02:16.560
Windows 11 will place a particular emphasis on what it calls foreground

00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:20.319
prioritization which will put background apps in a sleep state that can slash

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:24.720
both memory and CPU usage by about a third although this means Windows will wake up

00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:28.640
faster across platforms it's gonna benefit laptops the most by saving a

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:32.720
significant amount of battery life but i know google chrome is just gonna ignore

00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:35.599
the feature entirely it's it's google chrome you know

00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:40.000
RAM what's that kick it out of the club

00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:44.480
so selfish so selfish now it's time for quackity bakity bats brought to you by

00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:47.680
drop and their pc38x gaming headset built in collaboration with sennheiser

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

00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:55.519
a lower 28 ohm impedance for use with low power devices like gaming

00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:59.280
controllers and a newly designed knit mesh headband for less heat retention

00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:02.480
and better comfort it's upgraded like your brain is now that you've heard

00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:07.680
about it so upgrade yourself even more by buying the drop pc38x today at the

00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:11.360
link below and use code drop this for 20 off until september 29th i'm

00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:16.080
almost positive that it's time for quackity bit bats boots or whatever i

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

00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:24.640
who don't use microsoft edge like myself you've probably seen how

00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:28.239
annoying Windows makes it to change default browsers but mozilla has finally

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:33.120
found a way around this and have updated firefox with a new method that will let

00:03:29.920 --> 00:03:34.159
users switch browsers in one click holy

00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:38.560
crap just in time for Windows 11 to arrive

00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:42.959
and break it probably just give up use edge use edge foolish

00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:49.360
consumer use edge use it use it

00:03:46.799 --> 00:03:53.760
microsoft get out of my head ignore the voice

00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:56.799
oh wait apple's here now the iphone 13 is set to be officially announced

00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:00.480
tomorrow but a last minute leak from our liable apple analyst has revealed that

00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:05.599
we should expect a one terabyte storage option on the upcoming iphone lineup

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:08.720
doubling the previous maximum of 512.

00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:12.159
wow one terabyte of storage on an iphone

00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:12.159
still no room for a headphone jack

00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:18.560
though headphones who needs those

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:21.120
no chargers either from the other side of the aisle it

00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:25.680
looks like we have an official release date for Android 12 the fourth of

00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:28.880
october which is under one month away as you might expect google pixel users

00:04:27.280 --> 00:04:33.040
will start getting the upgrade that same day but other devices are just going to

00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:35.440
be left in the ditch and just have to wait

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:39.120
forever hate ditches in the meantime you can i

00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:43.840
don't know cry about how out of date your phone is you know iphones get

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:47.040
updates really fast get out of here

00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:50.639
you might have noticed a huge jump in the value of your litecoin wallet last

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

00:04:52.880 --> 00:04:58.800
press release that claimed walmart would start accepting the cryptocurrency

00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:02.240
yeah good luck with that walmart quickly came out to clarify the

00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:05.840
release was bogus but litecoin's value had already shut up by 20 in the

00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:09.759
meantime so the press release may have been fake to pump up like coins value

00:05:07.919 --> 00:05:12.720
prior to a dump yeah we should definitely make crypto

00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:16.000
our main currency i think it would go fine

00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:18.960
we should just use bitcoin for everything right yeah you want some

00:05:17.520 --> 00:05:22.880
bitcoin sure speaking of things we should be doing

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:26.800
there's been a breakthrough in the quest for fusion power a group of scientists

00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:31.600
have showed off an extremely powerful magnet that can produce a field the

00:05:28.400 --> 00:05:33.919
strength of 20 tesla which is very very

00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:33.919
strong

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

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:45.840
aiming to build a fusion power plant by 2033 though i hope nobody tells doc awk

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:51.120
about this i hope nobody goes into the multiverse then multiverse

00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:54.240
but if it's real we're already in the multiverse that's

00:05:53.039 --> 00:05:57.199
true riley and i hope this episode is over

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

00:06:00.479 --> 00:06:06.000
you distract yourself from the pain of existence until then i don't know i hear

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:11.199
popsicles are pretty nice oreos are decent or tesla robots will the tesla

00:06:08.479 --> 00:06:14.639
robot feed you a popsicle i yes or i'm not gonna buy one
