you know they say you should always keep up to date with the tech news but i
never really believed it until now
who's vape sony apparently couldn't keep their trap shut any longer and has
spilled some interesting details about the playstation 5. in an interview with
wired mark cerney lead system architect of the ps4 said that the next generation
console will be powered by an emd eight core zen two processor built on the
seven nanometer process yeah but what does he know exactly well he's the lead
system architect last time and a custom variant of AMD's nevi navi
GPU which will support ray tracing
the technique won't just be used for visuals but also to enhance the 3d audio
capabilities of the console the ps5 will also feature a custom designed SSD
rather than the hard drives that are standard in home consoles it will
support 8k output although we have to imagine that's not talking about running
games in ak and it will be backwards compatible with ps4 games wow
if all this is true the next playstation will be pretty badass
hopefully mark cerny didn't just say it because he loves hilarious pranks mark
wouldn't do that would he no it would be it would be a pretty good
prank though mark good one apple and qualcomm have been suing the crap out of
each other for months years even over patents but they've now announced a
settlement ending the dispute the two companies troubles centered around the
qualcomm modems used in iphones apple thought qualcomm's licensing fees were
too high too damn high qualcomm accused apple of stealing its modem tech and
giving it to Intel speaking of Intel that company also announced yesterday
that it was exiting the mobile 5g modem business yes coincidence
well you hate Intel 5g they're the worst i hate their 5g modem
yeah it's probably not coincidence it's unclear at this point which decision
caused the other Intel bowing out or the apple qualcomm settlement but either way
the big winner here is arguably qualcomm whose stock has shot upwards in the wake
of the news kind of sad to see this conflict die what will we do for drama in the tech
world now i wonder uh check what john mcafee is up to there's
always huawei that too and bengate has returned albeit
in a new way reports are coming in from tech reviewers of their samsung galaxy
fold screens breaking sometimes on their own sometimes because of user error see
the fold comes with a screen protector which can apparently be peeled off
except when you do that it causes the screen to die so it's less of a screen
protector and more just like scream more just part of the screen as mark german
from bloomberg bloomberg other tech journalists fold had their displays just
quit working or be damaged from receiving pressure while folded it's not
a particularly good look for samsung but maybe we're just not ready for folding
phones you know as a society also even if you thought it
was a screen protector and not part of the screen doesn't it make sense to not
take it off to like you know protect the phone we're just so used to

sony kind of stole their thunder with the ps5 news but microsoft has confirmed
the xbox one s all digital edition will launch may 7th as the first major home
console without a disk drive the new console is the same size as the existing
xbox one s and is technically 50 cheaper
at 249 usd msrp but you can find regular
xbox one s's with disk drives all over the place for 249 as well
so let's hope xbox has some slightly more
exciting announcements at e3 they said they would i trust phil spencer i mean
look at him he's adorable leaks about the oneplus 7 and 7 pro have been flying
like crazy and the latest ones seem to indicate the higher end option will
feature not only a pop-up camera but also a quad hd super amoled display with
a 90 hertz refresh rate now that's not quite as impressive as the razer phone's
120 hertz display but it'll probably come without the whole wannabe apple
complex so that's a roast of razer it's a big roast
speaking of apple that company might be trying to appeal to the small-handed
among us once again with a new version of the iphone se a number of reports
have pointed to a device launching alongside the iphone 11 this fall with a
profile slightly smaller than that of the vanilla iphone 10s
look at us talking about phones getting smaller
again feels like 2002. the first u.s based trials of the gene editing
technique known as crispr have begun on human participants at the university of
pennsylvania finally i know it's to determine the methods effectiveness in
treating cancer and soon similar trials are set to take place in canada and
europe as well crispr has huge potential for revolutionizing medical care but
let's hope that we don't end up making ourselves a little crispier in the
process see you gotta take care you got to be careful move on and nicola the electric
car company rival to tesla has unveiled a batch of new vehicles the nikola 2 is
a hydrogen electric hybrid semi truck although a full electric version is on
the way the reckless is an all-terrain vehicle intended for the military the
wav is an electric jet ski and the nzt
is another all-terrain vehicle for civilians it's a cool time to be an
electric vehicle fan but not a cool time to be a thomas edison fan
not a single company named after him
