look if you came here because you heard we made great paninis i don't know what to
tell you we don't make paninis that doesn't even make any sense between
apple ditching them and AMD keeping up the pressure in the pc market Intel
hasn't had a great year so they're understandably looking for any advantage
they can muster on friday they apparently thought they had found one as
they gave a briefing to journalists detailing a flaw in AMD's ryzen 4000
series laptops almost namely that when on battery power
AMD's chips don't ramp up to full strength until 8 to 10 seconds after
certain heavy workloads begin now Intel isn't wrong this behavior is part of
what makes AMD's latest laptop so great for battery life at the expense of a bit
of performance but as rs technica and xtreme tech point out it's not the ace
in the hole Intel might think it is because first off Intel modified their
laptops to run at a higher TDP than the AMD models in their tests they created
specialized benchmarks which they say reflect real world usage when this issue
doesn't cause any problems for established tests and this waiting
behavior was an option AMD made available to laptop oems to maximize
battery life the issue here isn't that Intel doesn't have a point
it's just that having a press conference about it seems a bit
desperate like consumers don't want the strongest laptop they just want one
that's confident in who it is that's true masculinity wait what are we
talking about let's talk about graphics card leaks because the rate at which
they are arriving has increased specifically ones about the rtx 3060 ti
which NVIDIA still hasn't officially announced even though leaks featuring
the card have been popping up steadily over the past month now we even have a
pretty official looking slides of the card specs or at least manly's version
there's a GPU company called manly
anyways this avalanche of leaks claim the cards will launch on december 2nd
for 3.99 so get your wallets ready to not buy one because shopping online is
now off limits to humans that's bot territory we also got a
couple leaks regarding AMD's unannounced rx 6700 and 6700 xt which could both
launch with 12 gigs of vram in early 2021 so don't worry there will be plenty
more opportunities to spend some quality time at your computer hitting f5 that's
refresh james
and one of the downsides of apple's new m1 mac processor is the fact that it's a
lot more complicated to emulate Windows on macOS that's something that was
pretty easy on Intel based macs thanks to bootcamp which isn't supported on the
new ARM based models i can't believe apple would do this those scoundrels
well apple's craig federighis has said that bootcamp could work just fine on m1
max microsoft just has to enable it on their side now craig's actually
referring to Windows 10 on ARM not x86 Windows x86 apps can already be emulated
using crossover on mac and parallels is working to bring support for m1 and
currently microsoft doesn't license Windows 10 on ARM unless the oem
pre-installs it on the device ah so it is up to apple they just have to
pre-install Windows on the m1 max you can't trick me craig
me and james we know business

wondering it looks like samsung might release their new flagship a bit early
this year with rumors pointing to january 14th as the release date oneplus
9 pro is also getting some attention in the rumor mill with leaks pointing to a
curved screen giant rear camera module and a release date in march but i don't
know i think i can hold on to my pixel 3 till next september it's doing pretty
good comcast has to extend its 1.2 terabyte data cap to all 39 states in
which the company operates it just has to it's got no choice
it has to otherwise people will abuse the system and clog the internet pipes
with traffic even though multiple isps have said that the network handled the
pandemic fueled surge and internet activity just fine and comcast engineers
have said that monthly data limits exist to generate revenue not to manage
congestion we need these caps guys
snapchat has launched spotlight essentially a mini version of tick tock
inside the existing snapchat app but what's different about it you might ask
what's different about it well snapchat is giving the top video creators a share
of one million dollars every day for the foreseeable future i don't know
to me that sounds way more fun and easy to use how many top creators though
should i get a cent
yeah well i guess we'll see you gotta you gotta make apps uh make videos first
the solomon islands which are close to australia because i didn't know that
plans to ban facebook due to widespread cyber bullying and people using fake
identities never mind that facebook was the place where official documents were
leaked showing government spending on kovid it's the cyber bullying okay fine
it is a real problem my mom comments on everything i post please stop and in the
latest example of that's too much money a rare copy of super mario bros 3 has
