00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,160
hello friends it's me deep voice riley

2
00:00:04,319 --> 00:00:10,320
because when you spend all weekend talking loudly on the show floor at ltx

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:15,599
you go through second puberty let me tell you

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:20,400
it's rough but ltx wasn't rough actually it was

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:25,199
awesome thanks everyone who traveled from all over the world and came up to

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:30,480
say hi to me and dennis and the whole team but enough lollygagging around it's

7
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:34,079
time for tech news want to say anything dennis

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,200
no he's scared

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:42,000
google is continuing its unusual practice of revealing details about the

10
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:46,000
upcoming pixel 4. after many rumors and leaks pointed to the device having some

11
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:50,239
sort of facial recognition and air gesture capabilities the company

12
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:54,160
released a video teaser confirming it showing a woman unlocking the phone with

13
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:58,079
her face and swiping through music tracks without actually touching

14
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:02,879
anything google also published a diagram of the pixel 4's various front-facing

15
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:07,119
sensors including a dot projector and ir cameras for the face unlock feature but

16
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:11,680
the big news is the presence of a radar chip made by project solely the google

17
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:16,240
division working on detecting extremely subtle hand and finger gestures that

18
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:20,640
could allow users to fully control mobile devices with virtually no

19
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:25,600
physical interaction and if that's the future we're looking

20
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,200
at that's exciting if it's not well

21
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,880
regular air swipe gestures have been around since 2013 in the samsung galaxy

22
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,560
s4 so not as exciting at least we know now why

23
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:39,520
google was going around giving people five bucks to scan their face it was

24
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:41,600
practice for the face unlock system not

25
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:45,119
because they need our face they already have it

26
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:48,960
they have all of us

27
00:01:47,119 --> 00:01:53,439
the voice really adds to the delivery there all of us

28
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:58,479
speaking of google the company's Android os is being put in places it was never

29
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:03,680
meant to go the nintendo switch developer group switchroot has published

30
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:06,000
lineage os 15.1 for the switch a variant

31
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:11,200
of the Android oreo build used by NVIDIA shield tv units the port uses the hekate

32
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,879
bootloader which won't be compatible with every switch but tons of people

33
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,720
have already installed Android and are posting about it on social media the

34
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:24,239
general consensus is that while some things are understandably still a bit

35
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:28,160
janky games run surprisingly smooth on the switch and people are even using it

36
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:31,120
to play their pc games via in-home streaming we'll have to see whether

37
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:35,680
nintendo tolerates this little experiment or does what nintendo and

38
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:39,599
attempts to shut it down it might eat into the company's game sales if people

39
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:44,800
are streaming witcher 3 from their pc instead of buying it from the eshop as

40
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,200
one tweeter has already demonstrated and

41
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:50,959
Intel has unintentionally leaked some details about their upcoming discrete

42
00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:55,599
graphics cards in a driver the company posted and then took down a non-tech

43
00:02:53,519 --> 00:03:01,120
forum member spotted four code names with variations of the dg designation

44
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:06,080
for discrete graphics there appears to be one low-powered unit designated lp

45
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:10,480
and three high-powered units designated hp the information has caused the pc

46
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:14,560
hardware community to start speculating about what Intel could be planning for

47
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:19,440
their graphics cards if the numbers at the end of the codename which are thought to reveal the number of

48
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:23,599
execution units are any indication these might be mid-range cards in the same

49
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:28,560
general performance category as AMD's Radeon 5700 and 5700 xt

50
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:34,720
let's hope not though because those cards are actually a pretty good deal compared to NVIDIA's mid-range offerings

51
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:38,799
what we really need Intel to do is challenge NVIDIA at the top end because

52
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:43,280
they're just partying up there and thinking everything's fine ooh NVIDIA up

53
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:48,080
at the top you can't touch us until Intel comes in with the triple slammer

54
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:53,680
that's what we need now it's time for the quick bits brought to you by

it's good for you dennis have you ever had quick bits

66
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,919
no no you've been here you edit them every

67
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:47,840
day basically i don't like quick bits you don't i like tin fits he likes tim

68
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:53,120
bits that's i have to agree with you france's defense minister florence parley said

69
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:57,440
the country is planning to launch satellites armed with lasers and

70
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:01,280
submachine guns dennis didn't even hear what i said

71
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:05,759
it's shocking but only to defend their satellites from other satellites except

72
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:10,160
it sounds like you guys are the first ones putting weapons in space so

73
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,880
if anything this is going to start a satellite arms race that can only culminate in robotic space sharks with

74
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:18,479
freaking laser beams on their heads is that what you want france

75
00:05:16,479 --> 00:05:20,720
france don't just smoke your cigarette and look down your nose at me i'm

76
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:25,039
talking to you bethesda is acquiescing to the demands

77
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:29,199
of the people and removing the online login requirement for the re-release of

78
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:34,000
the first three doom games on current gen consoles the publisher says the

79
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:39,039
forced login was a mistake and was only meant to be there for slayers club

80
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:42,000
members to redeem rewards sure bethesda

81
00:05:39,039 --> 00:05:42,000
we'll go with that

82
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:48,320
stanford researchers have developed a device they're calling a quantum

83
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:53,440
microphone capable of detecting the smallest units of sound known as

84
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:57,520
phonons rather than using a membrane to detect sound waves like normal audio

85
00:05:55,280 --> 00:06:02,160
equipment does this device would capture phonons and measure them using an array

86
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:06,800
of nanomechanical resonators and could theoretically be used to build a quantum

87
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:10,800
computer using phonons instead of photons

88
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:15,120
guys i looked through this story but there's no mention of carbon nanotubes

89
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:19,280
none at all i tried i wanted to do it maybe one day

90
00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:22,880
processor comparison site user benchmark has responded to complaints over the way

91
00:06:21,039 --> 00:06:27,520
they adjusted their scoring method which appeared to favor Intel cpus the site's

92
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:33,520
statement points out that the scores for the ryzen 73800x and ryzen 5 3600x both

93
00:06:31,919 --> 00:06:37,039
went up and that they'll be updating their scoring index in the near future

94
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:42,240
to account for the strengths of octa-core processors as soon as Intel

95
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:46,080
has more of them hey wait a sec and google's waymo self-driving division

96
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:51,039
has partnered with another alphabet company deepmind to use the latter's

97
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:55,039
evolutionary system in developing its ai deepmind creates many variations of the

98
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:58,080
same neural network has them compete against each other and the ones that

99
00:06:56,479 --> 00:07:01,840
perform the best go on to receive further development but do we really

100
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:06,160
want ais from different companies cooperating with each other

101
00:07:04,479 --> 00:07:10,880
this seems like a recipe for something and it ain't annie carol's baked plan

102
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:14,560
it's disaster it's a recipe for disaster that's what i was getting and this

103
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:18,479
episode will be a disaster if i carry on talking so it's over now come back on

104
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:22,880
wednesday for more tech news delivered by someone who doesn't sound like they

105
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:27,520
need to drink some herbal tea speaking of which i'm going to have some herbal

106
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:31,120
tea dennis you want some yes yes what kind

107
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:34,880
honey chamomile honey

108
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,880
okay
