00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,600
it was the friday before christmas and james is here with a brand new t-shirt

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:09,440
that you can buy now in the LTT Store we'll have that link below

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:15,040
folks are in the market for a mid-range GPU without fancy ray tracing support

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:20,800
might be in luck as reports suggest that NVIDIA will soon be releasing a gtx

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:25,439
1160. the card would supposedly launch in addition to the previously rumored

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:29,359
rtx 2060. this might be the way that NVIDIA will differentiate its higher

7
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:33,520
tier rtx lineup with the aforementioned ray tracing from its lower end product

8
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:39,040
stack however it does appear that the gtx 1160 will still use a touring family

9
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:43,760
GPU and will possibly support features like dlss a new anti-aliasing mode that

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:48,160
was heavily touted when the rtx lineup was initially announced no word yet on

11
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:51,840
pricing and availability but we might hear something mid-january right as all

12
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:57,520
your bills from all that christmas shopping start rolling oh great i'm

13
00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:01,440
fully leveraged riley i'm to the max it appeared that the days of apple

14
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:06,000
products bending under small amounts of pressure maybe in your pocket were long

15
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:13,200
behind us after the iphone 6 debacle but it looks like ipad users are now dealing

16
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:14,720
with their own electric boogaloo

17
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:20,400
users have been reporting that their 2018 ipad pros are you guessed it bent

18
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:25,600
which is undesirable on a product that starts at 800 us dollars and to make

19
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:30,720
matters worse the issue is reportedly even more noticeable on the larger

20
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:33,720
cellular enabled model that starts at 1 150.

21
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:40,799
james louise and funnily enough this has even been reported on ipads immediately

22
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:45,200
after they've been removed from their original box apple has actually

23
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:48,640
confirmed the reports and blamed it on the cooling process that they used

24
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,079
during assembly while apple claims it won't affect functionality at least one

25
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:56,640
youtuber has opined that the new ipads are quite flimsy a friendly reminder

26
00:01:54,240 --> 00:02:00,240
that i devices do not yet come with those newfangled

27
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,680
foldable screens it's not folded that much

28
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:07,680
it's fine if you're in germany you may now have a tougher time trying to save

29
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,360
money by buying an older model iphone because there's currently a patent

30
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:15,440
kerfuffle playing out between apple and qualcomm as the latter is claiming that

31
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:20,000
apple has violated a number of its patents german courts have already ruled

32
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:24,160
that apple is indeed in the wrong here to be specific the issue revolves around

33
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:28,480
a power saving feature to keep the battery from draining too fast when the

34
00:02:26,239 --> 00:02:32,879
phone is connected to a 4g network the court has issued an injunction meaning

35
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:37,280
apple would be legally prohibited from selling older iphones in the country

36
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:41,519
germany that is but the injunction is on hold while apple appeals however apple

37
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:47,599
has said that it won't be selling iphone 7s or 8s in store for the time being so

38
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:50,160
hopefully lions might just be a tiny bit

39
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:54,959
shorter at the genius bar or since it's germany that would be

40
00:02:52,480 --> 00:03:01,120

51
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:49,840
bad 2018 still holding that isn't stopping facebook from developing its

52
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:53,519
own digital currency bloomberg tells us that this will be a stable coin whose

53
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:57,840
value is tied to the us dollar in order to avoid wild fluctuations facebook

54
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:02,799
wants to use the new currency to allow users to send and receive money via

55
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:08,319
whatsapp although you'll have to be a stable genius to know how probably the

56
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:11,920
smartest is it forget to use it it's probably gonna be pretty easy germany is

57
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:16,239
also beefing with nintendo as their consumer protections authorities are

58
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:21,680
taking the japanese game giant to court because of its all sales final policy on

59
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:25,199
the nintendo eshop allegedly a violation of european law personally i think you

60
00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:28,720
should be able to get your money back for an unsatisfying product even if it's

61
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:33,440
just ones and zeros i mean if you can get a big mac compt i don't see why you

62
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:36,720
shouldn't be able to refund sonic forces is that yeah is that a good game

63
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:42,720
no fortnite is known just about as much for his exuberant dances as it is for its

64
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:47,600
gameplay but not everyone is booging down as multiple parties are suing epic

65
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:53,120
games claiming that the developer ripped off pre-existing dances such as the

66
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:55,360
carlton from tv series fresh prince of

67
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:59,759
bel air the legal battle should be interesting as while dances can be

68
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:04,639
copyrighted litigation over dance moves is uncommon maybe this is why that guy

69
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:08,639
from the safety dance song was so insisting oh my god i finally understand

70
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:12,160
the safety dance guy you should be able to dance if you want

71
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:16,240
to even if that means leaving your friends behind

72
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,880
off-key caroling is a time-honored christmas tradition especially at my

73
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:23,360
house where we suck at singing but nintendo has taken it to a whole new

74
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:28,320
level as it recently released a video of toad singing a tune to the melody of joy

75
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:37,199
to the world in japanese in his trademark screechy voice

76
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,720
and it's every bit as bad as it sounds the song is set to visuals from breath

77
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:49,039
of the wild for reasons that aren't totally clear so yeah

78
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:55,919
merry christmas merry christmas hey youtuber mark rober robert has admitted

81
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:08,400
thefts were real according to robert some of his friends

82
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,919
posed his narrow due wells and activated the glitter bombs without him knowing

83
