WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.759 Riley's still on vacation, but he left me this note to read for you guys. Don't 00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:12.080 screw this up. Or else. Wow, that's actually a lot less menacing 00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:16.480 than he is in person. Epic Games in Fortnite might owe you money for a 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:20.960 change thanks to their predatory dark patterns. Those include displaying 00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:24.400 confusing purchase prompts, promoting misleading offers, allowing underage 00:00:23.119 --> 00:00:28.560 account holders to make purchases without parental consent, and probably 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:33.600 the worst one, to be honest, charging players unintentionally by waking the 00:00:31.599 --> 00:00:39.360 game from sleep mode during the loading screen or while customers attempted to 00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:40.879 preview an in-game item. Yesesh. Now, 00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:46.399 the full settlement happened back in 2022, but in this second phase, the FTC 00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:54.000 has approved paying $126 million in refunds to about $970,000 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:55.600 players. That works out to uh a whopping 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:58.399 $130 each. So, uh it's actually not bad. 00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:02.879 Watch out for your check in the mail, although it might not be that much. 00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:07.200 Apparently, it's happening on a case-byase basis, depending on how much 00:01:05.199 --> 00:01:13.119 you spent. And Elijah said one of his friends got $1,200. 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:18.159 Now that's a power user. As for us, we'll be waiting for our RTX50 to arrive 00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:23.119 because we're even more excited to review it now that NVIDIA has given a 00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:26.400 statement on why it's using GDDR6 in the 00:01:23.119 --> 00:01:29.119 desktop version instead of the GDDR7 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:33.119 that the laptop version is getting. What? Laptop master race. Let's go. 00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:37.759 Apparently, this has to do with thermals and battery life. And well, GDDR7 is 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:43.040 just so much gosh darn more efficient that mobile devices just love it. But 00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:48.240 then why not just put the GDDR7 in both of them instead of saying that GDDR6 was 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:52.000 the best choice for desktop? Not enough margin. Yeah, best choice for your 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:54.880 shareholders maybe. Regardless, you won't have to wait much longer as the 00:01:53.439 --> 00:02:00.799 launch is going to be in the second half of July. That is unless you're in China. 00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:03.520 Then it's just July. When? In July? Who 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:08.720 knows? I know something that happened. Last generation DDR4 memory has gone 00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:13.280 from being cheap because it's old to expensive because it's really old. With 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:18.879 DDR4 currently costing about double the price of DDR5 on DRAM exchange. Ouch. 00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:23.840 Now, you got to be wondering what the heck, why? And the reason is that most 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:28.560 companies that are still making DDR4 are manufacturing the last waves of it and 00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:33.040 therefore are jacking up the prices to ensure that their supply won't disappear 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:37.519 too quickly. But the problem is there are a ton of people and businesses out 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:42.560 there who would rather perform a simple memory upgrade instead of upgrading to 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:48.800 an entirely new platform. So if they need it, they're basically bent over a 00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:50.800 barrel. So, um, act fast or you might be 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:53.920 looking at an even higher price in the future. That is until it gets really, 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:58.160 really, really old and then it gets cheap again. Speaking of cheap, here's a 00:02:55.760 --> 00:03:01.120 cheap transition to our sponsor, SY, the global eim service that keeps you 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:07.519 connected while traveling to more than 200 destinations. I mean, 200, you're 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:10.879 not going to go to 200. What? You are? Well, it's not going to be cheap. 00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:15.200 Although, you will save a nice chunk of change by downloading just one eim for 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:18.480 your whole trip with SY. They've got affordable prices for regional and 00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:22.720 global plans. The scammers waiting outside of airports to sell you sketchy 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:27.760 local SIM cards hate this one trick. SE E SIM plans are compatible with most iOS 00:03:25.519 --> 00:03:31.040 and Android devices. And if yours isn't compatible, you'll get a full refund. 00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:35.040 And you can still chat with support available 24/7, even if you're not 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:39.280 paying them. Get an exclusive 15% discount on eIM plans. Just download the 00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:42.959 SY app and use the code tech at checkout. Sometimes I just want a few 00:03:40.959 --> 00:03:47.360 more speedy portions in my life. Is that too much to ask? 00:03:44.720 --> 00:03:51.760 No, no, it's not. Here's one. Shout out to China and their Loomson server 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:56.879 processors. You guys are catching up and congratulations. Better late than never. 00:03:54.000 --> 00:04:01.920 You're only about four, 5 years behind Intel and AMD. Seriously though, this is 00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:07.680 an impressive feat with the 36000 processor featuring a quad chiplet 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:10.159 layout with 64 cores, 128 threads, 32 00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:15.280 megs of cache, quad channel DDR4 support. Oo, that's going to cost them. 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:20.320 and a max frequency of 2.2 GHz. Very cool. What's not so cool is Windows 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:26.880 changing the blue screen of death to just the sod. That's right. It's 2025 00:04:24.479 --> 00:04:31.280 and we are going from blue to black sometime this summer. The black dad. I 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:35.680 guess it's still a bod, but it's not the kind that I grew up with and I don't 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:38.639 like change so I don't like it. You're still going to get an error code at the 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:43.040 bottom as well as the name of the driver or other file that caused the crash. Um, 00:04:40.960 --> 00:04:47.120 and they're saying that this is to help give users and administrators the right 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:50.960 details to troubleshoot or diagnose. What does that have to do with changing 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:55.840 the color? Don't you understand the brand recognition you're losing for your 00:04:53.280 --> 00:05:00.560 error? Oh, they do. They don't want it. And Nintendo is also making some dumb 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:05.120 changes that nobody really wanted. Updates to Mario Kart World's online 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:09.759 modes have already annoyed players when they removed the option to vote for 00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:13.520 circuit style threelap tracks and limited them to the intermission sprint 00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:17.919 style races. I thought this is democracy. But now the workaround 00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:22.400 selecting random to get a traditional race has been squashed like a gloomba 00:05:20.320 --> 00:05:26.960 because they have added the full race roster to that list making the odds of 00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:31.120 getting a normal track slim to none. What is this a communist country? And if 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:36.000 you've been slimming down or sizing up, maybe you can use Google's new Doppel 00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:40.400 app to update your wardrobe. It's easy. You just screenshot the outfit you want 00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:46.960 to try on, take a full body photo of yourself in a well-lit room, and hit the 00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:48.800 generate button. It's not perfect. Uh, 00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:52.720 using mirror selfies might result in some weirdness, but hey, I can't wait to 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:58.000 see what I'd look like in a headtotoe leather suit. What? You don't do Jensen 00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:03.280 Fridays? And last but not least, Apple is trying to avoid some fines in the EU 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:04.720 by giving users app store options. This 00:06:03.280 --> 00:06:09.520 comes after negotiating with the European Commission for the last 2 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:11.840 months after they were fined€500 million 00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:15.680 euro for breaching the EU's digital markets act. And of course, they're 00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:19.919 waiting until basically the last minute to make the changes. You know what, 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:25.039 Apple? For that, I'm changing the app store on my Nana's phone and my phone. 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:28.800 Don't make me tell my Primos. Come back Monday for more tech news. But before 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:33.720 you go, make sure to like and subscribe on this video so that Riley doesn't beat 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.720 us.
