00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,200
death taxes and tech news

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:09,120
the new album from the guy that brought you brian the electrician that's a

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:12,400
banger let's hear it play it our favorite

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:16,160
electronics have been pretty expensive for a while now so let's have some

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,439
positive news okay the u.s federal government has lifted some tariffs on

6
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:22,720
goods from china specifically pcbs so

7
00:00:21,439 --> 00:00:28,480
the hope is that products like motherboards will see price drops in the

8
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:31,199
near future yes the import taxes range

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:34,880
anywhere from an additional 7.5 to 25 percent so this will definitely make

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:38,800
things easier on manufacturers and hopefully they'll pass some of those

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:42,960
savings along to us by us we mean the americans

12
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:46,559
we're fine we're not we're all suffering as far as whether graphics card prices

13
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:50,960
will also drop that's a bit harder to predict across the board due to high

14
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:56,960
demand but ASUS is announcing that it's dropping its graphics card prices by up

15
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,920
to 25 percent starting on april first

16
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:02,879
no no you would think so that would be really

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:06,880
bad for them it's not a good luck guys horrible timing unfortunately there

18
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:10,560
still looks to be some not great news further out on the horizon for the

19
00:01:08,479 --> 00:01:15,439
entire chip industry according to a report out of taiwan it's expected that

20
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:21,680
fabs will have to pay over 200 bucks for a 12-inch silicon wafer by 2024 the

21
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:26,720
highest price on record it's just going to equal out i guess this marks an

22
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:31,360
increase of 20 to 25 over current levels and to make matters worse most fabs have

23
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:35,040
multi-year contracts with wafer makers meaning if some company needs extra to

24
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,720
keep up with demand looking at you NVIDIA you are so

25
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:43,360
they just keep putting them out thirsty for wafers slurping them up they're

26
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:47,520
going to be rather hard to obtain the good news is that the big wafer makers

27
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:51,920
are planning to expand capacity and wafer costs aren't typically the biggest

28
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:55,439
driver of how much you the user ends up paying at the store but i'm still not

29
00:01:53,600 --> 00:02:00,880
too keen on spending an extra five bucks that i could have spent on actual wafers

30
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,880
you know or horse armor

31
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:07,040
in elden ring did they even have it

32
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:10,560
it wouldn't help horses i can't say i'm too surprised but apple is reportedly

33
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:14,720
cutting down production of the new iphone se in fact the company is

34
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:20,400
planning to cut production next quarter by a full one fifth iphone slash edition

35
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:24,239
i'd buy it apple is still expected to ship as many as 20 million of the lower

36
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,599
end iphones this year but this is a lower number than apple was hoping for

37
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:31,920
oh poor apple low demand and not the chip

38
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:35,519
shortage is apparently the culprit marking the latest example of consumers

39
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:40,080
simply not being all that excited about lower end iphones because they're

40
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:43,519
jewelry this is it's simple remember what happened with the iphone 5c i got

41
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,720
it from our dean's what is that claire's

42
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,800
at the mall there's also the price increase of 30

43
00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:54,720
over the previous iphone se that's not helping at all especially when the

44
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:59,680
iphone 13 mini is also positioned as apple's main mid-range product right now

45
00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:03,040
can't have two small ones now it's time for quick bits brought to

59
00:03:54,799 --> 00:04:00,400
riley a new ipad pro is on its way and

60
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:05,680
unsurprisingly this one is expected to feature the new m2 chip oh the new new

61
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:09,920
the new you know that new new the news comes from well-known apple insider mark

62
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,599
german who expects the latest iteration of the tablet to come out this fall the

63
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:17,359
upcoming ipad pro is also expected to support magsafe so you can mount it to

64
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:21,359
one of your car vents if you want a nice big picture to help you drive in your

65
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:25,280
field well if you didn't want to use the one in the

66
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:30,080
tesla if you get that one terabyte version then you got like a 2 000 gps

67
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:33,680
and some news about AMD's m4 chips i hope you've got a hefty cooler at the

68
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:40,320
ready as a recent leak indicates the upper tier ryzen 9 7950x will have a

69
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:43,280
whopping TDP of 170 watts that's a lot

70
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:49,120
of watts have you ever seen that many watts a huge increase over the 5950x is

71
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:53,520
105 watts what unsurprisingly this would be a 16 core

72
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:58,320
processor but that's a high TDP even considering the core count so maybe

73
00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:00,720
don't pair it with a 20 air cooler

74
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:03,600
unless you want to burn your house down for

75
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:08,160
points moscow based cyber security and

76
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:11,919
antivirus provider kaspersky is now ironically on the fcc's security threat

77
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,759
list i didn't know there were companies who were moscow based

78
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:19,360
not anymore you wouldn't know it it isn't super surprising given that

79
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:22,960
founder eugene kaspersky is suspected of being connected to russian intelligence

80
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:27,039
and kaspersky products were already banned from us government networks but

81
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:30,639
it does make kaspersky the first russian company to be added to the list which

82
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:35,280
includes chinese companies suspected of government entanglement like huawei and

83
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:38,400
zte american companies on the other hand they don't speak to the government at

84
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,840
all they barely know anything about each other they don't go to luncheons they

85
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,919
just give you a red envelope slide it under the table

86
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:50,320
if you paid for icloud in late 2015 or late 2016 congratulations there's a

87
00:05:48,479 --> 00:05:54,320
class action settlement that came out of a lawsuit alleging that apple improperly

88
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,520
handled icloud data so not congratulations i got 25 cents coming to

89
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:01,759
me you got manipulated but

90
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:06,400
some coins payouts won't be going out until at least late 2022 and we're not

91
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:10,479
sure exactly how much they'll be but you should at least be able to you know pay

92
00:06:08,479 --> 00:06:13,919
for a couple months of apple tv plus if that's

93
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:18,479
honestly severance though apparently it's good should we cover it

94
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:22,400
on our podcast they're just movies or with a little bit of money you could

95
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:26,800
also buy a game on apple's first ever game console the pippin oh that's right

96
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,880
they already have one uh nothing is confirmed yet but apple is consulting

97
00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:33,840
with developers like capcom and ubisoft as well as folks in the hardware

98
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:38,639
industry to see if they can get one off of the ground off of the ground hovering

99
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:42,560
this follows earlier reports of apple poaching engineers from microsoft for

100
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:46,560
the same purpose or maybe for a hilarious prank there's no console we

101
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:51,280
hired you for nothing you don't have a job and we're not

102
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:55,120
playing when we say that you better come back on wednesday for more tech news

103
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:58,800
because there's going to be more baby and maybe even james will be here maybe

104
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:04,479
let's call it the apple gaming console we're not talking about that anymore the episode's over no more techniques no
