Happy Valentine's Day to the only thing I love in this world
Tech news don't tell my wife and kids
AMD knows there's still a chip shortage but they might go ahead and give us the
much anticipated ryzen 7000 lineup earlier than expected anyway because
love conquers all processors based on
Zen 4 weren't supposed to be here until the fourth quarter of this year but a
new rumor from a well-known Hardware leaker indicates we'll actually be seeing them arrive in the third quarter
possibly as early as July how's that for
a summer of fun I'm taking it down the waterfall grease me up baby
so sun hat some Zen okay
AMD might be going for an earlier launch to regain a Competitive Edge against
Intel whose Raptor Lake chips are expected to launch at the end of the
year AMD's market share is RAR
AMD's market share is the highest it's been in 15 years and team red definitely
doesn't want to lose that and have to rename their mainstream CPUs to Fallen
over in team Green's Camp that's NVIDIA for you colorblind folks a significant
change is reportedly being made to its mid-range lineup as the supply crunch
eases up a bit and graphics cards prices
continue to fall I know I don't even believe myself when I say it just we're
waiting for the fourth wave
according to a report NVIDIA is going to be replacing the ga 106 gpus inside of
its RTX 3050 graphics cards with a ga-107 which is also used in the laptop
version of the RTX 3050 but these Geo 107 chips will actually have the same
number of Cuda cores enabled as the cut down desktop ga-106 so the result should
be the same level of performance with better power efficiency I don't know
what you said but it sounds great you know the 6500 XT not that like that in
the good ways but not like it in the bad ways
the idea is this could lead to better availability overall as NVIDIA can now
just use the full fat GI 106 and its RTX 3060s instead of splitting them between
two different cards have you ever ripped a card in half with your bare hands why
did you write that and the UK's revenue and Customs department has seized three
nfts related to a fraud case involving nearly 2 million US Dollars marking the
first such seizure of the digital the tokens uh but I thought the whole idea
was that they couldn't be seized due to their special slimy protective
blockchain coding the case itself involved a rather complicated scheme
including 250 shell companies 250 shell
companies and data being moved through vpns which I hear they hate at the
Olympics the British government is currently stopping the alleged
perpetrators from selling the nfts and around 6 700 of other crypto assets were
also seized this is all happening it's a fluid environment apparently the perps
were used in the nfts to hide large sums of money from the tax authorities
presumably by by hiding it in the Apes
men I don't know how it works is that could it go in there could if the ape is
sufficiently Bored maps have the Quick Pitch brought to you by the MSI Vigor GK
50 Elite box white mechanical gaming keyboard that whole thing is the product
name crazy it's a full-size wired gaming keyboard complete with a number pad so
you can type the phone numbers in there you haven't saved them and it features
kale box white switches and this is true I really like those switches one of my
favorites they've got an audible and tactile click and an advertised lifespan
of up to 80 million jokes and you don't even have to worry about spilling your
box of wet sawdust on those ski switches because you know what they have dust and
moisture protection thanks to the Box around the stem does it have perky RGB
are you kidding me does a bear poop in the woods yes to both so check out the
MSI Vigor GK 50 Elite box white keyboard in the links below thankfully finally
somewhere to spill my wet dust I got all of this soaking wet sawdust it's got to
go somewhere the only way to banish the quick bits is to read them
otherwise they Fester watch out after making a big
stink about Apple not supporting RCS and iMessage and perpetuating toxic
anti-green bubble stigma Google has apparently sweet talked Samsung into
making Google messages the default texting app in Samsung's Galaxy s22
lineup oh my God who cares about the Samsung App anyway but Samsung messages
already had RCS so we're not sure
whether we should be cheering for Google here or criticizing them for doing more
Monopoly things why not both they exist
in the liminal space I hate defaults that are worse wait but that means I
like iMessage the nether Realms I mean Netherlands has
led me to fine against Apple for the fourth week in a row this time to the
tune of over 5 million dollars which Apple won't care about for failing to
appease Dutch authorities with its proposals for payments in dating apps
it's up to 20 million cumulatively now wow Apple has said it will allow the use
of third-party payments in dating apps but with only a three percent discount
off its default 30 so that's 27 if I did
the math properly I don't know if you're in the market for a fancy new QD OLED
display you might be in for a bit of a wait although Samsung was due to release
them sometime this year under their actual Samsung brand there's now a
business dispute within Samsung apparently the business side like the
Samsung consumer electronics has to pay the manufacturing inside Samsung display
for the panels and they can't even agree on the price sibling rivalry so I guess
Sony's qdo leads are going to be the only ones forever
they were supposed to be first the news follows an earlier report about possible
delays for manufacturing issues so you might be stuck with your boring old
regular OLED TV for a while
hang on in there guys will be garbage Google Plus has seemingly died a second
deaths I put an S on there because it's two deaths odds are you've already
forgotten about Google's ill-fated social network but it actually lived on
as something called Google Currents which I've never heard of but was
available in G Suite some of its features are being folded into Google
spaces which also apparently exists and
is not a Twitter feature that knocked off Clubhouse what the hell is that
there's all these Google features stuck under the couch pillows the quick bits
do not permit me enough time to think about this anymore and one man should
probably be eligible for a frequent flyer card to space American billionaire
Jared Isaac's men I have one isaacman
has booked three more flights with SpaceX after flying into Earth orbit
last year one of these flights is apparently going the farthest into space
humans have been since the moon landings well Jared on behalf of the
non-billionaires who haven't even gotten around to booking their first space
flight we hope you have fun hope you get a window seat and that's it see you on
Wednesday
