i don't always discuss the tech news but when i do i prefer the WAN Show this was
supposed to be Linus Linus was supposed to host and so then it was
Android 13 is now available for pixel phones and many users who have updated
are enjoying the new features like the removal of wireless charging
yeah users from multiple reddit threads are reporting that wireless charging got
borked on a number of pixel models after updating to Android 13 although it looks
like the pixel 4 is most affected other pixel owners have also reported that rcs
the rich chat features standard that google really wants apple to support has
stopped working on google's own phi mobile network of course launch bugs
aren't anything new but what really sucks for owners of pixel 6 series
phones is that google has disabled their ability to roll back to Android 12 due
to a bootloader vulnerability so now
they're stuck hey look on the bright side as long as you're on the cutting
edge you might get to try google's upcoming pixel face and fingerprint
unlock feature which will make up for the fact that on pixels those two things
suck by themselves but if you make users do both at the same time they'll
probably suck even more so i i don't really i don't get it either AMD's ryzen
processors have enjoyed a slight advantage over team blues offerings for
a while when it comes to productivity at least but a new leak is making it look
like Intel's raptor lake is going to hit the market claws first
that's my favorite high dive technique into raptor lake chinese tech influencer
extreme player has posted alleged specs of 14 raptor lake cpus while we've seen
these numbers for the higher end chips before we haven't yet seen specs for the
mid-range core i5 chips most of which are listed with six power and eight
efficiency cores the other notable detail here is all k
series processors appear to have two times more efficiency cores as their
elder lake counterparts it looks like Intel is done seeding the productivity
crown to AMD old pat may seem like a nice guy but who knows what ferocity
hides under that warm smile he hates doctors
watch out lisa and mark zuckerberg has responded to memes mocking the metaverse
selfie he posted last week which looked like it was taken from inside the wii's
main menu according to poor zuck the photo was meant to celebrate the launch
of meta's horizon worlds in more countries so we didn't have time to make
it look like something other than a blank slate roblox template mark posted
another photo showing what horizon would look like after planned graphical
upgrades rolled out and sure you know looks slightly better but even though i
just used roblox as an example of bad graphics that company's metaverse
ambitions involve making roblox indistinguishable from the real world
both in terms of graphics and mechanics i mean they're already ahead of meta in
the avatars having legs department so that's progress

just just go home do not attempt to join them things will end badly china has
been forced to shut down major factories in the country's manufacturing hub of
sichuan i'm not saying that right for almost a week due to temperatures
soaring above 40 degrees celsius the region is struggling with the strongest
heat wave seen in six decades leading to a dangerous amount of stress being
placed on the electric grid as everybody pumps up the air conditioning the
shutdowns aren't great news for the still recovering global supply chain but
at least factory workers can take a break those last four hours are way
harder than the previous eight even with ac lenovo has issued a cease and desist
to fellow laptop maker framework over the ladder company's power button design
on their standalone motherboard chassis the button resembles the logo for
lenovo's legion gaming sub brand and frankly i think it was intentional it's
a good thing lenovo took action otherwise someone might see that button
and think did lenovo put that button there
super smash alike fighting game multiverses has enjoyed mod support
during its early access beta but now that the game is out publisher warner
bros has prevented the game from launching if any mods are installed
yeah the game's director confirmed this which is crushing news to members of the
community who have created tons of alternate skins backgrounds and music
for the game although as expected some of the mods can get weird i can see why
warner bros might not want a duct tape velma skin in there

wirelessly transmit sensor data such as
your pulse sweat levels and uv exposure
