if no one said happy valentine's day to you yesterday look i love you okay if
things suck right now they're gonna get better the night is always darkest
before the dawn and i'm angriest before i read the tech news
last week we mentioned that qualcomm microsoft and google are coming out in
opposition to NVIDIA's acquisition of ARM but what we didn't talk about is the
fact that those companies remarks were part of the second phase of the us
federal trade commission's investigation into the acquisition which is also being
looked into by regulators in the uk the eu and china now NVIDIA told cnbc that
they're confident there won't be any major issues guys okay
it's gonna be fine we got worked out but the problem is that ARM licenses chip
designs to a ton of companies many of whom including apple amazon qualcomm and
mediatek create processors that compete with NVIDIA's not to mention that
microsoft and google are just getting started making their own in-house chips
which could help them compete with apple's m1 chips so it's pretty easy to
see how NVIDIA would have to be like really nice to not use the best ARM
technology in their chips while withholding it from their competitors or
just making them pay more do we think jensen shared with the other kids on the
playground i feel like he didn't you don't eat and sleep in a leather jacket
for that long without having some kind of complex facebook watch is a service
on facebook where you watch videos but the facebook watch is a potential
Android-powered wearable that facebook is reportedly working on for some reason
the smartwatch which the web giant may be planning to launch next year would be
tightly integrated with facebook's apps like messenger and whatsapp of course
would work with a cellular connection with no need for a connected phone and
with health tracking features to boot it would be designed to take away some of
the market from the apple watch which is i mean that's cute facebook
especially in a market where wear os watches are like you ever seen an
Android watch in 2021 come on i liked
the moto 360 back in the day it looks like facebook might be just desperate
after basically failing in its war with apple over the iOS 14 anti-tracking
feature which is poised to evaporate some of facebook's precious ad profits
the wall street journal says an angry zuckerberg told his team they need to
inflict pain on apple can you imagine

i'm imagining it it's great and concerns have arisen about AMD's
upcoming ryzen 5000 desktop processors after system integrator power GPU
reported that six percent of the new cpus they received from AMD were dead on
arrival they also claimed the new 500 series motherboards for the AMD
processors had the highest failure rate of the ones that they tested the story
was picked up by numerous outlets but when some savvy users took a look at the
actual error rates from various other retailers it appeared that power GPU may
have just gotten an unlucky batch they deleted their tweet about the issue

lordy microsoft is reportedly testing the browser-based web app for its xcloud
game streaming service which is currently limited to chromium-based
browsers it will allow iOS users to play xcloud games on iphones and ipads since
apple thinks streaming games is so much more different than streaming movies on
netflix that's that's a totally different thing but why
apple the answer to which is of course
because a month after announcing the rtx 3060
NVIDIA has finally revealed the card's specs and confirmed its previously
rumored release date february 25th unfortunately it looks like the 3060s
launch will continue the current trend of being disappointing since multiple
retailers in europe have already been spotted jacking up the price well above
the car's msrp of 329 euros oiros
awesome well at least this time we won't have to depend on scalpers to do the
price gouging cut out the middleman you know helping the economy apple's talks
with nissan concerning a partnership to produce an apple car have reportedly
stalled because nissan thought apple wanted to like integrate apple services
into a nissan car and apple wanted nissan to just make an apple-designed
car under the apple brand and nissan was
like uh we're not your like factory man
also putting the charging port on the bottom would be stupid parlor the free
speech focused social network has announced they're back online after
amazon cut their servers off from the internet parlor says they're now running
on sustainable independent technology not reliant on so-called big tech
companies the landing page calls it the world's town square and who knows maybe
it could be that one day i think right now it's more like the closet you go
into to scream all your frustrations out but ambition is good and carl pays new
company nothing now owns Android founder andy rubin's defunct smartphone startup
essential nine to five google found uk government filing showing reuben had
signed ownership over to nothing technologies limited so i guess one of
the nothings that nothing might make is
a phone i wouldn't worry about getting it as soon as it comes out though it's probably nothing essential but it is
essential that you come back on wednesday for more tech news because there will be more will the tech news be
