Samsung has titillated us with the mention of the industry's first
256 terabyte solid-state drive to put
that amount of storage in perspective you could fit nearly half of the average
steam library on there and you know
and not even half of those are played
I'm Riley Murdoch this is techlinked and this technological teas occurred during
the flash memory Summit not to be confused with the flash bulb memory
Summit where thousands gathered to discuss the horribly traumatic things they've seen Samsung said very little
about the upcoming SSD but did mention that the drive uses seven times less
energy than if you were to combine eight 32 terabyte drives to get the same level
of storage now to put that in perspective imagine pinning eight evil
Kevin Hart clones versus one Dwayne Johnson and then you realize that's
probably the premise for a movie being made right now in a jungle it's in a
jungle there's a lot of ad-libs it won't do well Samsung also showcased
their new PBS SD architecture a petabyte
scale ultra high capacity solution that allows capacity changes based on context
and automatically asks for more Public Funding for mainstream consumers the
company unveiled their New PCIe Gen 5 SSD that will offer capacities of up to
nearly 31 terabytes and features sequential read bandwidth of 16
gigabytes per second more than enough to download eight hearts one Johnson the
minute it releases multiple new vulnerabilities have been identified in
both Intel and AMD processors with fun names like Inception downfall and Zen
bleed continuing to prove that security researchers would have started a death
metal band if their parents didn't make them go to security school you're going
to discover software exploits just like your father unsurprisingly all three of
the attacks exploit the speculative execution feature used in modern CPUs
which researchers have been using as an excuse to come up with cool names and
logo goes for their vulnerabilities since the original meltdown and Specter
popped off in 2018. these all do sound like James Bond films featuring Adele
The Adventures of James Bond and Adele
the attacks have been designated medium severity partially because attackers
would need physical access to the Target PC but together they could Target a wide
swath of chips currently in use downfall affects Intel's 6th to 11th gen CPUs Zen
bleed affects the ryzen 3000 to 5000 series thread dripper 3000 and epic Rome
and Inception affects basically all ryzen processors now if you're wondering
why I'm being so nonchalant about the whole thing is because firmware updates
are already available that largely patch these flaws so update your BIOS and
remind yourself the world is a dangerous place that is constantly attempting to
murder you and one day succeed
we'll get you Tech news site CNET has been deleting thousands of old articles
over the last few months as a way of gaming Google search rankings according
to an internal memo seen it voluntarily shared with Gizmodo when asked I guess
CNET has no shame after all this is the same company that earlier this year
fired 10 of their staff in order to focus on appearing more authoritative to
Google and then got caught posting inaccurate seo-ified Financial advice
articles that were covertly written by AI if that's confusing it's a bit like a
little kid shoving half a bag of baby carrots up their nose in a desperate bid
for attention oh that clarifies things foreign
look what I can do in an apparent response Google's search liaison zeded a
reminder that Google penalizing sites simply because they contain older
content is not a thing however Google
did state in 2011 that removing older and importantly low quality content can
improve site-wide ranking that's an and not an or
get your Boolean logic straight algebra bird selective content pruning
is a known Advanced SEO practice like the six red Yang formation Jutsu but for
marketing however purging thousands of pages is
more like trying to lose weight by cutting off your less useful ARM lose
five percent of your body weight with this one clever trick doctors hate her
secret leprosy
who is she now it's time for quick bits brought to you by Best Buy look we know
studying can be a chore I mean how many of you are procrastinating and watching
this right now don't leave we ain't narcs Best Buy is holding their
back to school sale and you can score some sick deals on big Brands like Sony
HP Logitech and more so wait until the
end of this video then get off your butts and go check it out at the link
below or stay on your butt and check either one ah Linus never gives me any
treats for quickening my bits meanwhile Luke gets the beef flavor that's the
best one these are getting worse they're getting self-referential okay which is I
think presumptuous how many people are gonna have watched both valve has
announced they are now selling refurbished steam decks for about 20
less than a normal boring unpre-loved
one it's not coded in anything the refurbs are available online through
Steam and in store at select GameStop locations and they still include a
one-year warranty it's also a cheaper way to get into the massive deck modding
Community I mean imagine how much more popular pet adoption would be if you
could upgrade the senior cat you're gonna buy with off-the-shelf parts laser
eyes additional memory for members where to pee
the internet blew up in the past few weeks with news of a room temperature
superconductor called LK 99 and boy is
it one of the substances of all time so far lots of other attempts at
replication have resulted in papers with mixed results though some theoretical
calculations suggest there's some secret structure sauce within LK 99 that could
lead to a room temp superconductor just
not now and not in LK 99 especially
after LK 99 gets charged with identity theft for stealing the name of one of
Elon musk's many children most of them have normal names and then there's like
R2D2 Google is reportedly working on a
feature that will allow you to link your Android devices together when they're
logged into the same Google account in a similar vein to Apple's continuity not
content to stop at copying Apple Google is also adding annotations to slides a
la Microsoft PowerPoint which I'm sure is a joy to people forced to continue
making slideshows past college graduation some of us just like them
check out these slides a leaked video of what is apparently
Sony's upcoming PS5 slim was posted on
Twitter by an account called bwe but they were apparently not happy about it
bwe wrote that the model's Blu-ray Drive looks weird it has
ugly black slits on the sides and embossed shapes from the PS5 controller
on the back which they say is stupid to make matters worse they say the PS5 slim
is about five centimeters shorter but not much thinner oh well I've I totally
get the rage then ah I am also quite angry oh I hope I don't punch any of
these walls in my Fury that's not slim at all and a company called OG X has
released Augie an AI powered video creation platform that also lets you
clone voices ogx's founder alleges Augie
was inspired by users who didn't like speaking into a microphone instead users
can clone their voice by simply speaking into a microphone or selecting a
pre-recorded voice there it is the tool is designed for marketers and social
media teams so safety guards are in place to prevent misuse like how it will
only accept voices recorded with a live mic it's sure to be extremely useful for
people like celebrities who can't record their contractually obligated sponsored
Instagram posts because they're too busy yachting and you better not yacht on
Monday because that's when the next tech link comes out I guess the episode
wouldn't have to come out if anyone ever invited me to yacht
c'est la vie thank you
