00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:05.440
okay stop you don't have any tech news

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:09.840
i won't allow it sit down sit down

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:14.719
i got the tech news it's finally happened reddit has gone

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:20.800
from making memes about stonks to turning the real stock market into a

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:23.439
stonks meme you see this week the folks

00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:28.960
over at r slash wall street bets decided on mass to buy stocks in gamestop the

00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:33.280
video game retail chain that hasn't been in the best shape financially for quite

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:38.000
some time now the rapid influx of netizens suddenly

00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:42.800
buying shares through online brokerages seemingly caused many such brokerages to

00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:48.160
crash from all the traffic and elon musk as usual

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:52.320
wasn't helping or was helping depending on how you see things he tweeted

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:55.680
gamestonk with a link to the wall street bet subreddit

00:00:53.760 --> 00:01:00.480
thanks elon now apparently this isn't just a meme

00:00:58.239 --> 00:01:04.239
for these redditors gamestop's value rising by over a thousand percent

00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:09.680
compared to last year is actually causing hedge funds that shorted the

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:12.000
gamestop stock to lose money by the

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:14.960
billions which has given the subreddit a real like

00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:19.439
robin hood vibe it's also caused more traditional wall

00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:23.920
street traders and federal regulators to panic because they're supposed to be the

00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:31.119
ones artificially manipulating the stock market not reddit do you people have no

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:33.439
respect for entrenched hierarchies

00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:38.640
Intel has reportedly begun shipping its dg1 discrete graphics card to oems and

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

00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:49.520
about that because you wanted to buy one for yourself gamers

00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:51.520
don't be although the dg1 uses the same

00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:55.119
z graphics architecture found in Intel's latest mobile processors

00:01:53.439 --> 00:02:02.799
it is actually excuse me less powerful than the top-end laptop

00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:06.040
parts with only 80 out of 96 execution

00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:08.879
units enabled and 4 gigs of

00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:14.480
lpddr4x memory plus this thing won't work in systems

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:18.480
that don't have a 9th or 10th gen Intel CPU

00:02:15.920 --> 00:02:20.879
because they require a special BIOS to function

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:25.360
so no no you will not be making a

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:31.440
frankenstein AMD CPU Intel graphics monstrosity of a

00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:39.440
computer at least not yet meanwhile Intel graphics chief raja

00:02:35.519 --> 00:02:41.280
kaduri shared an image of Intel's ponte

00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:45.920
vecchio vecchio yeah thanks

00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:47.760
the largest chip in the z family and

00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:51.360
showed off its uh chiplets

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

00:02:53.519 --> 00:02:58.879
take on this is rude okay rude

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

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

00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:12.879
super computer yeah nothing in between

00:03:10.239 --> 00:03:16.959
i want the middle i want the oreo right i want the the the icing

00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:22.480
frosting sugar sugar and sony has announced its

00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:25.440
latest flagship mirrorless camera the a1

00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:28.400
for 6500 us dollars but that doesn't even seem that expensive

00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:33.440
when you consider that it's only the second mirrorless camera with 8k video

00:03:30.959 --> 00:03:37.680
recording to exist ever so this is actually a really good deal

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

00:03:40.239 --> 00:03:46.720
is basically the same phone as last year's

00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:49.599
but with an added micro HDMI port so you

00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:54.159
can use it as a camera monitor wow a reason to buy a sony phone

00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:58.560
mind you it costs twenty five hundred dollars so i hope you got in on those

00:03:56.640 --> 00:04:03.040
game stunks now it's time for the bat quicks

00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:06.879
brought to you by private internet access no bats go away

00:04:05.760 --> 00:04:14.640

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:18.079
encrypt your traffic pia offers over 24

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

keep you in control of your connection so when combined with private browsing

00:04:25.919 --> 00:04:31.759
best practices pia can make websites and services think that you're in a

00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:35.440
different country you can connect up to five devices at

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:44.800
pia's mace feature blocks malware and tracking domains try it out at the link

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:50.400
below with a 30 day money back guarantee here i made you these bat quicks

00:04:48.080 --> 00:04:55.520
that's how fast i was german enthusiast site computer base claims to have found

00:04:52.479 --> 00:04:58.160
a list of all of NVIDIA's rtx 30 series

00:04:55.520 --> 00:05:04.400
mobile GPU variants and there is 28 of them including 12 rtx 38

00:05:02.080 --> 00:05:09.120
configurations three of which are apparently max q

00:05:06.080 --> 00:05:11.600
so while NVIDIA may not be killing the

00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:15.280
branding they're probably killing customer satisfaction for people who

00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:18.800
just bought a gaming laptop only to realize that it can barely run angry

00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:23.199
birds oneplus co-founder carl pay has

00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:25.840
officially announced his next company it's called

00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:32.800
nothing dude that is so it's so deep

00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:36.960
nothing has a slew of famous investors behind it including youtuber casey

00:05:34.400 --> 00:05:40.720
neistat and its name also describes what the company has said they're working on

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:44.160
actually no that's not true the plan is to release products in multiple

00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:48.800
categories with the eventual goal of people hanging out with no laptop screen

00:05:46.880 --> 00:05:53.919
no phone screen and no smart watch screen gotcha carl the screen is gonna

00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:58.639
be in your mind and spacex is adding laser links to its

00:05:56.880 --> 00:06:03.120
latest starling satellites which will help increase coverage in polar regions

00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:07.120
without requiring more base stations on earth and i'm sure that these

00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:12.400
laser-equipped spacecraft have nothing to do with the fact that elon musk has

00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:16.160
been bashing jeff bezos and amazon on twitter over their plans to launch a

00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:20.240
competing satellite internet service nothing at all

00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:25.360
an automated bot on the secure messaging service telegram has been selling access

00:06:22.880 --> 00:06:30.000
to a database of 500 million facebook users phone numbers which leaked in 2019

00:06:28.080 --> 00:06:33.360
well thank goodness we all escaped whatsapp and found

00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:38.960
telegram right this bastion of security and privacy

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

00:06:40.960 --> 00:06:47.919
starts working you know what screw it fine zuckerberg fine you win we cannot

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:52.720
block your soil and finally a recently unearthed NVIDIA patent also from 2019

00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:57.440
describes a game controller with a third pair of trigger buttons and a trackball

00:06:55.520 --> 00:07:01.120
instead of a second joystick how's this even news it's hard to believe that

00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:06.000
NVIDIA would try this after the steam controller's very short heyday but

00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:09.199
i don't know maybe this is the way console players will even the odds in

00:07:07.599 --> 00:07:12.240
online shooters i believe in you guys

00:07:10.960 --> 00:07:15.680
never give up but we are going to give up filming this

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:20.479
episode because honestly we're just not that good at it

00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:25.280
come back on friday for our next attempt at finally delivering the tech news in a

00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:27.039
way that's informative and entertaining

00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:30.560
pro tip by the way the crunchiest stories are usually at the end of the

00:07:28.840 --> 00:07:33.840
week no no no
