00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:11.120
it's tech news it's always is it what it's always been what did you

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:16.880
think it was after making some confusing changes to HDMI 2.1 the HDMI forum is

00:00:14.719 --> 00:00:21.840
digging their confusing standards whole even deeper according to reports

00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:25.920
claiming that the all-new HDMI 2.1 a

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:28.960
specification will debut at ces 2022

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:30.080
which no one is actually attending

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:34.960
there's gonna be like tumbleweeds blowing between the exhibits but they

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:40.160
will have RGB leds so now i wanna go HDMI 2.1 a is expected to

00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:45.600
introduce a source-based tone mapping feature which will help displays better

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:49.440
adapt to both HDR and sdr content but it

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:52.000
won't be a required feature of 2.1a you

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:55.280
may see a product box with an HDMI 2.1 a label but it won't mean because

00:00:53.920 --> 00:01:00.399
you'll still have to look on the back for the actual features i don't know why this is so hard it's

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:06.000
like the HDMI forum wants us to yell at them do you like this do you

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:11.200
reports of ASUS rog z690 hero motherboards catching fire surfaced on

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:14.720
reddit last week and turns out it's not only because their owners had

00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:18.479
transcended to a higher level of pwnage and they just didn't notice because it

00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:22.799
was like come on after investigative videos posted by jay's two cents bill

00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:27.759
zoidens and others it became apparent that certain diodes on the units were

00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:31.360
soldered in reverse polarity making it possible to potentially identify which

00:01:29.759 --> 00:01:36.079
boards were at greater risk of providing some extra heat to those cold clammy

00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:40.159
gamer hands but now that's no longer necessary as ASUS acknowledged the issue

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:44.479
today and will be announcing a recall and replacement program if you've got a

00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:48.640
z690 hero motherboard i suggest you participate unless you've already

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:53.119
ascended to a higher plane yourself and then your house burns down i mean you're

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:57.840
gonna have some cred and AMD is expected to take their upscaling technology

fidelity fx super resolution to the next level by announcing Radeon

00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:06.560
super duper mega omega resolution no

00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:10.879
it's called Radeon super resolution which i mean it does roll off the tongue

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:15.040
a lot better video cards reports rsr will be implemented directly in Radeon

00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:19.840
graphics drivers allowing the feature to be enabled in nearly any game without

00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:24.640
any work on the developers part this is super cool but to be super clear other

00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:28.400
than the driver thing it sounds like rsr is just basically fsr

00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:32.239
but it's still probably not as good as NVIDIA's dlss

00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:36.160
but even though AMD is doing great right now i still feel the need to cheer on

00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:40.239
every slightly cool thing they do mostly because jensen comes off like he's he's

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:44.560

bullish bro i don't know what that is the hackers

00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:48.319
activities were publicly viewable on the raptorian blockchain which shows why we

00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:52.400
need the blockchain because of the hackers mind us dollars we probably

00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:56.799

year to avoid collisions with spacex starlink internet satellites elon musk

rejects claims that starlink is taking up too much room up there though saying

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:56.960
it's a simple traffic management problem and the idea that musk is firing

00:04:54.720 --> 00:05:01.919
