1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,440
okay stop you don't have any tech news

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:09,840
i won't allow it sit down sit down

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:14,719
i got the tech news it's finally happened reddit has gone

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:20,800
from making memes about stonks to turning the real stock market into a

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:23,439
stonks meme you see this week the folks

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:28,960
over at r slash wall street bets decided on mass to buy stocks in gamestop the

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:33,280
video game retail chain that hasn't been in the best shape financially for quite

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,000
some time now the rapid influx of netizens suddenly

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:42,800
buying shares through online brokerages seemingly caused many such brokerages to

10
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:48,160
crash from all the traffic and elon musk as usual

11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:52,320
wasn't helping or was helping depending on how you see things he tweeted

12
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:55,680
gamestonk with a link to the wall street bet subreddit

13
00:00:53,760 --> 00:01:00,480
thanks elon now apparently this isn't just a meme

14
00:00:58,239 --> 00:01:04,239
for these redditors gamestop's value rising by over a thousand percent

15
00:01:02,239 --> 00:01:09,680
compared to last year is actually causing hedge funds that shorted the

16
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:12,000
gamestop stock to lose money by the

17
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,960
billions which has given the subreddit a real like

18
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:19,439
robin hood vibe it's also caused more traditional wall

19
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:23,920
street traders and federal regulators to panic because they're supposed to be the

20
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:31,119
ones artificially manipulating the stock market not reddit do you people have no

21
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,439
respect for entrenched hierarchies

22
00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:38,640
Intel has reportedly begun shipping its dg1 discrete graphics card to oems and

23
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:43,920
system builders who will sell it as part of pre-built systems and if you're upset

24
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:49,520
about that because you wanted to buy one for yourself gamers

25
00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:51,520
don't be although the dg1 uses the same

26
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:55,119
z graphics architecture found in Intel's latest mobile processors

27
00:01:53,439 --> 00:02:02,799
it is actually excuse me less powerful than the top-end laptop

28
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:06,040
parts with only 80 out of 96 execution

29
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:08,879
units enabled and 4 gigs of

30
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:14,480
lpddr4x memory plus this thing won't work in systems

31
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:18,480
that don't have a 9th or 10th gen Intel CPU

32
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:20,879
because they require a special BIOS to function

33
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:25,360
so no no you will not be making a

34
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:31,440
frankenstein AMD CPU Intel graphics monstrosity of a

35
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:39,440
computer at least not yet meanwhile Intel graphics chief raja

36
00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:41,280
kaduri shared an image of Intel's ponte

37
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:45,920
vecchio vecchio yeah thanks

38
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,760
the largest chip in the z family and

39
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:51,360
showed off its uh chiplets

40
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,959
now this thing's meant to be for data centers not for gaming so you know my

41
00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:58,879
take on this is rude okay rude

42
00:02:56,959 --> 00:03:04,400
throwing this in our face it's like i just want a gaming pc and you're saying

43
00:03:01,519 --> 00:03:10,239
no no you either get like a game and watch or you get like a game-altering

44
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,879
super computer yeah nothing in between

45
00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:16,959
i want the middle i want the oreo right i want the the the icing

46
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:22,480
frosting sugar sugar and sony has announced its

47
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:25,440
latest flagship mirrorless camera the a1

48
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:28,400
for 6500 us dollars but that doesn't even seem that expensive

49
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:33,440
when you consider that it's only the second mirrorless camera with 8k video

50
00:03:30,959 --> 00:03:37,680
recording to exist ever so this is actually a really good deal

51
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,959
and it's an even better deal after you bundle sony's new xperia pro phone which

52
00:03:40,239 --> 00:03:46,720
is basically the same phone as last year's

53
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:49,599
but with an added micro HDMI port so you

54
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:54,159
can use it as a camera monitor wow a reason to buy a sony phone

55
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:58,560
mind you it costs twenty five hundred dollars so i hope you got in on those

56
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:03,040

bandwidth caps it has configurable encryption levels and a kill switch to

below with a 30 day money back guarantee here i made you these bat quicks

68
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:55,520
that's how fast i was german enthusiast site computer base claims to have found

69
00:04:52,479 --> 00:04:58,160
a list of all of NVIDIA's rtx 30 series

70
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:04,400
mobile GPU variants and there is 28 of them including 12 rtx 38

71
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:09,120
configurations three of which are apparently max q

72
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:11,600
so while NVIDIA may not be killing the

73
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:15,280
branding they're probably killing customer satisfaction for people who

74
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,800
just bought a gaming laptop only to realize that it can barely run angry

75
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:23,199
birds oneplus co-founder carl pay has

76
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,840
officially announced his next company it's called

77
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:32,800
nothing dude that is so it's so deep

78
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:36,960
nothing has a slew of famous investors behind it including youtuber casey

79
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:40,720
neistat and its name also describes what the company has said they're working on

80
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:44,160
actually no that's not true the plan is to release products in multiple

81
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:48,800
categories with the eventual goal of people hanging out with no laptop screen

82
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:53,919
no phone screen and no smart watch screen gotcha carl the screen is gonna

83
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:58,639
be in your mind and spacex is adding laser links to its

84
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:03,120
latest starling satellites which will help increase coverage in polar regions

85
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:07,120
without requiring more base stations on earth and i'm sure that these

86
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:12,400
laser-equipped spacecraft have nothing to do with the fact that elon musk has

87
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:16,160
been bashing jeff bezos and amazon on twitter over their plans to launch a

88
00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:20,240
competing satellite internet service nothing at all

89
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:25,360
an automated bot on the secure messaging service telegram has been selling access

90
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:30,000
to a database of 500 million facebook users phone numbers which leaked in 2019

91
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,360
well thank goodness we all escaped whatsapp and found

92
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:38,960
telegram right this bastion of security and privacy

93
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:42,479
but hey you can always use signal or at least you'll be able to when their app

94
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:47,919
starts working you know what screw it fine zuckerberg fine you win we cannot

95
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:52,720
block your soil and finally a recently unearthed NVIDIA patent also from 2019

96
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:57,440
describes a game controller with a third pair of trigger buttons and a trackball

97
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:01,120
instead of a second joystick how's this even news it's hard to believe that

98
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:06,000
NVIDIA would try this after the steam controller's very short heyday but

99
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,199
i don't know maybe this is the way console players will even the odds in

100
00:07:07,599 --> 00:07:12,240
online shooters i believe in you guys

101
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,680
never give up but we are going to give up filming this

102
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:20,479
episode because honestly we're just not that good at it

103
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:25,280
come back on friday for our next attempt at finally delivering the tech news in a

104
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:27,039
way that's informative and entertaining

105
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:30,560
pro tip by the way the crunchiest stories are usually at the end of the

106
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,840
week no no no
