okay i gotta transform into my news alter ego or like super news
we're gonna have to have super a lot of news because uh there's gonna be no tech
linked anymore for one week
everyone's getting fired i'm getting fired i'm kind of loud and obnoxious
riley's getting fired for not advancing the prompter because i don't have my
remote today and uh what's actually happening though is the entire Linus
media group crew is going on a company
bonding experience we're calling it workation 2.0 it's a corporate retreat
into the wilderness where there is no tech
and there is no news but we'll be back on september 10th just
in time to make fun of apple's new products that they'll be announcing on
september the 12th see that segway it's tight yep the company teased the
event with a big circle that looks like their new office building or maybe
they'll unveil a round apple watch actually probably not
we know that because the apple watch series 4 has been leaked with new edge
to edge display a super information dense watch face and what looks like an
extra microphone hole it's revolutionary
images have also leaked of a larger and smaller version of what is apparently
going to be the iphone xs yeah is that 10s
is it like extra small is it like x in
excess like the band there's an excess
this is a very confusing this very confusing thing so one of them is 5.8
inches and the other is 6.5 and then there's maybe also a new version of the
regular iphone 10 coming in let's just hope that september 12th clears all this
up um or doesn't because that's better for jokes at apple's expense but wait we
can't let apple have all of the leaks the google pixel 3 has finally leaked
after its larger sibling the pixel 3 xl was leaked to kingdom come yes my
friends it's amazing the boat even got there with all the leaks and praise the
phone gods the pixel 3 does not have a
notch so high fives everyone nope you missed it you were too slow the
pixel 3 does though have dual front-facing cameras screenshots of the
phone specs also reveal that it's packing a 2160 by 1080 display a 29 15
milliamp hour battery and a snapdragon 845 CPU with eight excuse me four gigs
of RAM google is holding their own unveiling event on september the 9th so
we won't have to wait too long to get all the official details but man what a
relief is that a leaking joke no wow that's kind of crass
and german tech event ifa 2018 is still
rolling on with lenovo announcing so many laptops that it makes my tummy
tingle actually that's probably the spicy soup i had for lunch uh so first
off is the thinkpad x1 extreme this is the first 15-inch x1 but still pretty
thin and light at under four pounds with a six-core 8th gen core i7 processor and
up to 64 gigs of RAM if you don't need that much power lenovo also showed off
the yoga c630 the first Windows laptop
powered by a qualcomm snapdragon 850
that will reportedly get it 25 hours of
battery life using the lower power Windows 10 s but wait you want an even
less usable laptop than that well the lenovo yoga book c930 has got
you covered it takes the touch pad of the original and replaces it with an
e-ink display which i guess is
better uh but there's almost certainly better
machines that you can get for like a thousand bucks like maybe ASUS new
mid-range zenbooks the company has gone the dell xps route and shrunk the bezels
down drastically wow that is a lot of laptops i guess the international floppy
disk assembly 2018 is the event to see
laptop launches that is not what it is short for very cool but you know what is

on to the quark barks huawei was also at
ifa 2018 where they unveiled the kyron 980 the first mobile chip using a seven
nanometer manufacturing process based on ARM's cortex a76 architecture it also
has a neural processing unit inside for ai tasks now that literally everything
has to have ai tacked onto it somehow
speaking of ai huawei also made a smart speaker called
the ai cube that isn't a cube it's just
kind of a blatant google home clone except that it has alexa instead of
google assistant so like the ai is short
for like alexa instead
also it doubles as a router so that's cool a bunch of phones showed up at ifa
2. the sony xperia xz3 features a shiny
new OLED display the xiaomi mix 3 adds a
sliding selfie camera section like the oppo find x which i'm actually still
working on my review of look at that thing isn't that ridiculous and the
honor play is a gaming phone with haptic feedback and
the huawei mate 10 lite is a large mid-range phone with a big battery but
also the pixel 3 it doesn't have a notch did i mention that already i hope i did
researchers at queen's university have built a tablet called the magic scroll
isn't that cute it rolls into a cylindrical form thanks to its flexible
touchscreen but what's neat is it can also be controlled with dials on either
side of the device man i missed the good old days when you'd read things on
papyrus and stone tablets and stuff really brings me back to my child really
an old joke wow you know what you know what those jokes are getting old
audio company harman kardon worked with netgear to make a smart speaker the
orbee voice that also functions as a wi-fi repeater that's kind of neat i
guess and california state assembly has approved a bill that would prohibit
throttling or blocking of internet traffic by service providers if the
senate approves the bill will be signed into law which could act as an example
for other states to follow bringing net neutrality back to life
despite its crippling like curb stomping it got by
the u.s federal government this would be good or not so good depending on your
position me i don't have a position you might say that i'm net neutral uh
that's not what true true neutral true neutral good dungeon the dragon's
reference lordy what's not neutral is the fact that this episode is over that
sucks the big one especially because there is no TechLinked next week i mean

butter jelly time peanut butter just like for like six minutes of this you
