welcome back to time linked the new show about what's going on in the world of
antique clock restoration wait a second
there's a new king of the hill for the well-known square root based w prime
benchmark and the top spot again belongs to the Intel core i9 9920x after briefly
losing the title to AMD a day earlier currently the 9920x and AMD's ryzen 9
3900x are within a half second of each other so it's a very tight race but an
interesting takeaway is that although the chips both have 12 cores and 24
threads AMD is going toe to toe with Intel despite running at lower clock
speeds the 3900x was overclocked around 5.6 gigahertz but the i-999 20k needed
to be cranked up to around six gigahertz in order to produce similar results so
it's a bit of a pyrrhic victory for Intel and shows how much AMD has
improved its ipc to the delight of team red sympathizers everywhere a pyrrhic
victory if you have an Android phone and live in the us you might notice that
your texting experience has gotten a little richer
you fat cats as the rollout of rich communication services or rcs is
complete for the entire country in case you haven't heard rcs is supposed to
make texting for Android more like apple's imessage with higher photo and
video quality wi-fi support and notifications when someone else is
typing you'll need to check to make sure both the Android messages app as well as
the carrier services are updated to the latest version currently the only other
countries supported are mexico britain

phone it doesn't belong to LMG
the big drawback of wireless headphones is that the batteries can die when you're trying
to listen to music but what if you never had to remember to charge your wireless
headphones ever again well gbl is trying to work that out for you with their new
crowdfunded reflect eternal headphones
which are powered by the sun
according to the company leaving these headphones in the sun for 90 minutes
will give you nearly three straight days of listening time although the solar
sensitive material in the headphones can also draw from indoor light sources that
helps a lot up here and they can charge via usb if necessary if
if you're like a time traveler going to the past jbl is asking 99 bucks for a
pair with a targeted release date of october next year just in time for you
to enjoy the sun setting before 5 pm

cadillac escalade has long been let's say a celebration of excess
and it's now even more so as the 2021 model will be getting a 38 inch OLED
that will take up over half of the dashboard it's the biggest screen to
show up in a mainstream vehicle probably ever i feel like this tech is developing
out of order shouldn't we have a full self-driving
car before we have a full movie watching experience some people can multitask
don't do it if you're watching movies online instead of watching movies
through a subscription service like the rest of us then you know that there are
no takesies backsies once you hit rent but voodoo is rolling out a
consumer-friendly alternative if you decide within the first half hour that
the movie sucks you can just stop it and get credit back by emailing their
customer support department within 24 hours at least that's email and not call
and that'll be incredibly useful the next time you rent a michael bay movie
got him oh ruthless underground never heard of it pewdiepie
fans might have to deal with a lack of new content for a while as the youtuber
announced that he'll be taking a break early next year saying that he was
feeling very tired he's so so tired it's unclear exactly when he'll go on hiatus
or how long his break will be he clearly should have pulled the Linus and hired a
small army of people to do the work for him yeah up top that's us hey yeah
night night Linus facial recognition isn't perfect for example it now appears
that some forms of it can be defeated with masks an ai company had some
realistic 3d mass produced not 2d masks
which cannot be produced in real life 3d masks which fooled both wechat and
alipay to make fraudulent purchases and the same team even tricked a system at a
dutch airport just with a photo wow allowing them to board a plane so if
you happen to be a gate agent at an airport your job is probably safe for a
while unless you're just a terrible gate agent
is that it is that a 2d mask
and visa has issued a warning that hackers are stealing credit card data
from gas pumps but not from using skimmers like you might
expect attackers have instead gotten access through infected emails they then
target mag strip cards that don't have security chips it turns out that the gas
companies haven't bothered upgrading to a system that encrypts card numbers i
mean why would you expect that huh i'd happily pay an extra five cents on
that 99 soda inside if it meant not seeing thousands of dollars within
fraudulent charges on my statement actually i disagree with that part of
the script because you're insured who cares take my credit card do whatever
you want it's not gonna hurt me and also who goes inside to buy
and also who buys pop yeah
that's our show for today come on back on wednesday for free tech news an even
better deal than a 44 ounce pop of diabetes
diabetes 44 ounces okay so i don't know six 180
milliliters of six ounces six times eight
okay
