ah
i'm charging up i'm charging up the news
the design of NVIDIA's rtx 3080 graphics
card has been leaked like crazy this week with multiple photos and mockups
appearing online the card apparently has a dual fan setup but with each fan on an
opposite side of the heatsink so they're like blowing in opposite directions
i know it looks weird but doesn't everything look weird the first time you
see it isn't that what weirdness is
other rumors are saying that cooler alone could cost as much as a hundred
and fifty dollars fueling rampant speculation about the cost of the
finished card and german website igor's lab claims that NVIDIA product and sales
managers hadn't even seen these designs before they leaked so NVIDIA has started
an internal investigation into how these photos got out my guess
via cellular phone
you gotta lock those down jensen we'll have to wait and see whether team green
keeps this weird wacky design when the cards actually launch later this year
but it looks kind of crazy enough that
it's got to be real no one would have guessed that you know
apple has powered iphones and ipads with custom designed ARM processors for years
and now it looks like they will finally do the same for mac computers reliable
leaker mark german wrote a report for bloomberg this week claiming that apple
will announce a strategic shift away from Intel processors and towards
desktop level ARM chips at the company's worldwide developers conference or wwdc
on june 22nd we may also get an announcement for an imac that basically
looks like a giant ipad pro but that's a little less exciting back
to ARM german sources claim that the announcement is meant to give developers
time to optimize their x86 macOS apps
before the first ARM powered macs arrive in 2021
now ARM-powered Windows laptops have actually existed for a while now but
they've been plagued by lackluster performance and frankly
inadequate app compatibility will apple do a better job of making desktop
machines that don't suck probably either way bummer for Intel
Intel actually has their own announcement to make in the form of the company's lakefield processors which are
appropriately meant to be a competitor to ARM-based chips wow what a day
lakefield designs combine core i3 and i5
modules built with the x86 sunny cove architecture with smaller more power
efficient tremont atom cores this setup is very similar to the big
little arrangement used by qualcomm and should give lakefield processors a
similar power and performance profile the best part is lakefield is x86
meaning that lakefield powered Windows machines might solve the problems
experienced by ARM-powered window spinning lights lakefield is making its
debut in the samsung's galaxy book s but we should see it in foldable display pcs
like the thinkpad x1 fold as well if those ever launch ah pandemics you know
every time every time every time just like no one would have guessed that it's
time for the bad quacks brought to you by private internet access vpn which
lets you mask your ip and encrypt your traffic pia has over 3 300 servers in
over 30 different countries and no bandwidth caps they offer configurable
encryption levels and a kill switch to keep you in control and when combined
with private browsing best practices pia can make websites think you are some
anonymous user in some other country practice your acting and pretend you're
british why is that in my talking points you can connect up to five devices at
once whether they be Windows mac Android iOS or Linux and pias may feature blocks
malware and tracking domains try it at the link below with a 30 day money back
guarantee for nothing what do the back rats do
google has released the public beta for Android 11 featuring message bubbles an
expanded power button menu and media controls baked into the quick settings
if you want to treat your phone like it's just some sick experiment and not
your best friend you can download it now and try it out oh and watch riley's
video from when he tried out the developer preview although that's
probably a little out of date by now but it's a really good it's a really good
video good you did a good job so good two more speculative execution
vulnerabilities have been found in Intel processors named sgx and crosstalk while
no active attacks have been identified that use the flaws hearing about new
attacks on Intel cpus once every few months is getting a little tiring i mean
i can understand why apple is switching to ARM like you know going down with the
ship is noble but also stupid if there's a perfectly good door to float away on
but only one well the only apple can fit on the door jack no jack no
reports emerged this week that some x-570 motherboards can run ryzen
processors at higher power levels than they're designed for which has led to
concerns among ryzen owners that their pcs might be at risk of damage well dr
cutress over at anantek has explained that the risk of actual damage is
extremely low so while we're all asking motherboard makers what gave them the
right to run our cpus out of spec hello
we can at least stop worrying that playing valorent is going to burn the
house down unless your skills are fired hey got em
honda has halted production at vehicle production facilities so now what do we
call them just vehicle facilities in ohio turkey india and south america
after a cyber attack locked staff out of their systems using ransomware it seems
like a bit of a random target to hit but maybe some hackers got upset that hondas
are just so darn reliable and wanted to take them
down a notch that's probably not it and keep your eyes peeled on sony's online
channels tomorrow because the company is going to have a big playstation 5 reveal
event we already know the specs for the console and what the controller looks
like so it is expected that we will finally get to see the physical box
itself and more importantly learn how much it's going to cost
although kenya really put a price on last of us too
no probably i didn't play the first one but but i was i was going to but then i
forgot because i had children during that decade come back on friday for more
tech news we're going to have our tech news
charged up by then i'm going to be running
now we don't have any for friday i can charge up more just gotta plug in
