No, it's the uh tech news. Hey, AMD released the RX 5600 XT yesterday, calling it the ultimate graphics card for 1080p gaming. And it seems like that might just be true. At $279, the card slots in right between the GTX 1660Ti and the RTX 2060, performing slightly better on average than NVIDIA's competitors, especially after board partners released BIOS updates that bumped performance up a bit. NVIDIA seemed to know that the 5600 XT was going to be good, though, and they slashed the price of the RTX 2060 by $50 down to $299 just a few days before AMD's launch, which is what AMD did to NVIDIA when Team Green released the first Super Cards. What's that smell? Smells like Justice. The price drop makes the RX 5600 XT a bit harder to recommend if you also care about getting some of the special team green features like endbank encoding, but overall it is not a bad pick. So, go watch our full review over on LT. It's got Anthony in it. He loves you. Facial recognition is cool and all, but the EU and Google think that we might be getting a little bit ahead of ourselves with it. The new leadership of the EU are drafting a document that would propose banning the use of facial recognition in public spaces for up to 5 years until proper regulations can be put in place to minimize the risks of using the technology. Google actually agrees with CEO Sundar Pachai saying at a conference in Brussels that there should perhaps be a waiting period while governments figure out how to avoid letting facial recognition undermine civil liberties and potentially discriminate against people because of algorithmic bias. But Microsoft, they're having none of that. Probably because they're the ones working on the technology.

And a report claims to have evidence that the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Muhammad bin Salman, hacked the phone of Amazon and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos. Bezos commissioned FTI Consulting to make a report after he became suspicious of a video bin Salman sent to him over WhatsApp in 2018. FTI found that shortly after Bezos received the video, his phone started uploading unprecedented volumes of data to an unknown source, indicating that the video file was infected with some sort of malware. Some analysts believe Bezos was hacked because of the Washington Post's coverage of Saudi Arabia, which was sometimes less than favorable. Go figure.
