00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:06.160
hello friends it's me deep voice riley

00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:10.320
because when you spend all weekend talking loudly on the show floor at ltx

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:15.599
you go through second puberty let me tell you

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:20.400
it's rough but ltx wasn't rough actually it was

00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:25.199
awesome thanks everyone who traveled from all over the world and came up to

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:30.480
say hi to me and dennis and the whole team but enough lollygagging around it's

00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:34.079
time for tech news want to say anything dennis

00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:37.200
no he's scared

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:42.000
google is continuing its unusual practice of revealing details about the

00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:46.000
upcoming pixel 4. after many rumors and leaks pointed to the device having some

00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:50.239
sort of facial recognition and air gesture capabilities the company

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:54.160
released a video teaser confirming it showing a woman unlocking the phone with

00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:58.079
her face and swiping through music tracks without actually touching

00:00:55.760 --> 00:01:02.879
anything google also published a diagram of the pixel 4's various front-facing

00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:07.119
sensors including a dot projector and ir cameras for the face unlock feature but

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:11.680
the big news is the presence of a radar chip made by project solely the google

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:16.240
division working on detecting extremely subtle hand and finger gestures that

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:20.640
could allow users to fully control mobile devices with virtually no

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:25.600
physical interaction and if that's the future we're looking

00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:27.200
at that's exciting if it's not well

00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:30.880
regular air swipe gestures have been around since 2013 in the samsung galaxy

00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:34.560
s4 so not as exciting at least we know now why

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:39.520
google was going around giving people five bucks to scan their face it was

00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:41.600
practice for the face unlock system not

00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:45.119
because they need our face they already have it

00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:48.960
they have all of us

00:01:47.119 --> 00:01:53.439
the voice really adds to the delivery there all of us

00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:58.479
speaking of google the company's Android os is being put in places it was never

00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:03.680
meant to go the nintendo switch developer group switchroot has published

00:02:00.479 --> 00:02:06.000
lineage os 15.1 for the switch a variant

00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:11.200
of the Android oreo build used by NVIDIA shield tv units the port uses the hekate

00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:14.879
bootloader which won't be compatible with every switch but tons of people

00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:18.720
have already installed Android and are posting about it on social media the

00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:24.239
general consensus is that while some things are understandably still a bit

00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:28.160
janky games run surprisingly smooth on the switch and people are even using it

00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:31.120
to play their pc games via in-home streaming we'll have to see whether

00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:35.680
nintendo tolerates this little experiment or does what nintendo and

00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:39.599
attempts to shut it down it might eat into the company's game sales if people

00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:44.800
are streaming witcher 3 from their pc instead of buying it from the eshop as

00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:47.200
one tweeter has already demonstrated and

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:50.959
Intel has unintentionally leaked some details about their upcoming discrete

00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:55.599
graphics cards in a driver the company posted and then took down a non-tech

00:02:53.519 --> 00:03:01.120
forum member spotted four code names with variations of the dg designation

00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:06.080
for discrete graphics there appears to be one low-powered unit designated lp

00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:10.480
and three high-powered units designated hp the information has caused the pc

00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:14.560
hardware community to start speculating about what Intel could be planning for

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

00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:23.599
execution units are any indication these might be mid-range cards in the same

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:28.560
general performance category as AMD's Radeon 5700 and 5700 xt

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

00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:38.799
what we really need Intel to do is challenge NVIDIA at the top end because

00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:43.280
they're just partying up there and thinking everything's fine ooh NVIDIA up

00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:48.080
at the top you can't touch us until Intel comes in with the triple slammer

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

00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:43.919
no no you've been here you edit them every

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

00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:53.120
bits that's i have to agree with you france's defense minister florence parley said

00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:57.440
the country is planning to launch satellites armed with lasers and

00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:01.280
submachine guns dennis didn't even hear what i said

00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:05.759
it's shocking but only to defend their satellites from other satellites except

00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:10.160
it sounds like you guys are the first ones putting weapons in space so

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

00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:18.479
freaking laser beams on their heads is that what you want france

00:05:16.479 --> 00:05:20.720
france don't just smoke your cigarette and look down your nose at me i'm

00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:25.039
talking to you bethesda is acquiescing to the demands

00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:29.199
of the people and removing the online login requirement for the re-release of

00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:34.000
the first three doom games on current gen consoles the publisher says the

00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:39.039
forced login was a mistake and was only meant to be there for slayers club

00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:42.000
members to redeem rewards sure bethesda

00:05:39.039 --> 00:05:42.000
we'll go with that

00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:48.320
stanford researchers have developed a device they're calling a quantum

00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:53.440
microphone capable of detecting the smallest units of sound known as

00:05:50.840 --> 00:05:57.520
phonons rather than using a membrane to detect sound waves like normal audio

00:05:55.280 --> 00:06:02.160
equipment does this device would capture phonons and measure them using an array

00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:06.800
of nanomechanical resonators and could theoretically be used to build a quantum

00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:10.800
computer using phonons instead of photons

00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:15.120
guys i looked through this story but there's no mention of carbon nanotubes

00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:19.280
none at all i tried i wanted to do it maybe one day

00:06:17.039 --> 00:06:22.880
processor comparison site user benchmark has responded to complaints over the way

00:06:21.039 --> 00:06:27.520
they adjusted their scoring method which appeared to favor Intel cpus the site's

00:06:26.080 --> 00:06:33.520
statement points out that the scores for the ryzen 73800x and ryzen 5 3600x both

00:06:31.919 --> 00:06:37.039
went up and that they'll be updating their scoring index in the near future

00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:42.240
to account for the strengths of octa-core processors as soon as Intel

00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:46.080
has more of them hey wait a sec and google's waymo self-driving division

00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:51.039
has partnered with another alphabet company deepmind to use the latter's

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:55.039
evolutionary system in developing its ai deepmind creates many variations of the

00:06:52.880 --> 00:06:58.080
same neural network has them compete against each other and the ones that

00:06:56.479 --> 00:07:01.840
perform the best go on to receive further development but do we really

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:06.160
want ais from different companies cooperating with each other

00:07:04.479 --> 00:07:10.880
this seems like a recipe for something and it ain't annie carol's baked plan

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

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

00:07:16.880 --> 00:07:22.880
wednesday for more tech news delivered by someone who doesn't sound like they

00:07:20.400 --> 00:07:27.520
need to drink some herbal tea speaking of which i'm going to have some herbal

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:31.120
tea dennis you want some yes yes what kind

00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:34.880
honey chamomile honey

00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.880
okay
