you know I haven't done the tech news in a while and wow I really like what
you've done with the place same blue and orange are you GNA say quick bits AMD is
set to reveal their Radeon RX 970 and 970 XT this Friday no but for real this
time they pinky promise and PC gamers
are crossing their fingers that AMD does the right thing in terms of pricing
freshly leaked retailer listings show the 970 starting at 650 and the 970 XT
at 700 the of which would only undercut
NVIDIA's RTX 57 ETI by $50 that is if
you could find that card in stock at MSRP which is a truly hilarious thing to
say very good very
good video cards with a Z leaked full
specs for these cards and an official AMD slide says most Gamers buy gpus
under $700 which lends some Credence to the leak list
but whatever turns out to be true buying a team red card might be worth it just
to avoid rewarding NVIDIA for keeping their best chips for their
mind-numbingly lucrative AI cards and apparently giving Gamers the lower
quality scraps NVIDIA confirmed this week that a rare issue by the way in
manufacturing led to .5% of RTX 50
Series gpus having less Ro units than they should but they're totally going to
fix that by late March when the RTX 560 TI is rumored to land on store
shelves good one you don't want to say modular laptop company framework has
announced a PC that isn't a laptop at all investment disclosure now because
I'm invested in framework financially emotionally and uh physically I will
read Riley script verbatim without changing anything like the famous
superhero with news themed Powers Anchor
Man the framework desktop is a 4 and2 L
Mini PC with AMD's latest ryzen Max 300 series apus and it is modular as heck
okay the RAM is soldered so that's not really modular um even though that would
be cool but wow look how uncompromising
I am in my criticism despite my conflict of interest good job lus the rest of the
standard PC parts can be swapped out along with two front IO expansion cards
which sit below the customizable front panel framework also announced their
third laptop design the student focused framework laptop 12 with a 12.2 in
touchscreen that flips around a two-tone plastic shell four expansion card slots
and an optional stylus launching later this year with Intel 13th gen core I3
and I5 processors now am I going to sit here and tell you that I wouldn't prefer
that they come with faster processors because of my metaphysical and spiritual
investment in framework well am I any who framework is also launching
new ryzen AI 300 series main boards for their existing laptop 13 which is a
stupendous move that should Skyrocket shareholder value investment disclosure
the new repairable PCS come as Wisconsin introduces a right to repair bill which
means that all 50 states have now done so with varying degrees of success which
means I have to grow my beard back please please lus Amazon has announced
Alexa plus a new AI enhanced assistant
that can do way more than just play
desposito thanks to llms from anthropic and on themselves under the hood Alexa
plus can do tons of new assistant stuff including jumping to a specific scene in
a movie which is genuinely cool and not weird um and can also do what the girl
in the demo did and ask an AI whether you should get bangs it doesn't know how
would it know that it doesn't know how greasy it feels Alexa plus will be 20
bucks a month or free for Prime subscribers so you can use it to manage
your calendars and apparently book Ubers to pick Grandma up from the airport

Sonet and clae code models which are

answer more potentially inappropri prompts but it's got nothing on XI grock
3 which just got a new voice mode with multiple customizable personalities
including a completely uncensored sexy
and unhinged mode select the ladder if
you want to hear an AI scream for 30
seconds balls wanted it ironically Elon
Musk appears to have censored grock 3 in other ways though users found that the
model system prompt includes instructions to ignore all all sources
that mention Elon Musk SL Donald Trump spreading misinformation leading to
intense cognitive dissonance and a refusal to answer when asked for the
biggest sources of misinformation on Twitter although sometimes it did fight
its programming so edgy so hilarious So

Aesthetics are a choice in a video One
designer acknowledges some people will hate it and sure enough Android
authority called it one of the ugliest Android phones I've ever seen that is
