00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.200
death taxes and tech news

00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:09.120
the new album from the guy that brought you brian the electrician that's a

00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:12.400
banger let's hear it play it our favorite

00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:16.160
electronics have been pretty expensive for a while now so let's have some

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:21.439
positive news okay the u.s federal government has lifted some tariffs on

00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:22.720
goods from china specifically pcbs so

00:00:21.439 --> 00:00:28.480
the hope is that products like motherboards will see price drops in the

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:31.199
near future yes the import taxes range

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:34.880
anywhere from an additional 7.5 to 25 percent so this will definitely make

00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:38.800
things easier on manufacturers and hopefully they'll pass some of those

00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:42.960
savings along to us by us we mean the americans

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

00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:50.960
will also drop that's a bit harder to predict across the board due to high

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:56.960
demand but ASUS is announcing that it's dropping its graphics card prices by up

00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:57.920
to 25 percent starting on april first

00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:02.879
no no you would think so that would be really

00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:06.880
bad for them it's not a good luck guys horrible timing unfortunately there

00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:10.560
still looks to be some not great news further out on the horizon for the

00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:15.439
entire chip industry according to a report out of taiwan it's expected that

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

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:26.720
highest price on record it's just going to equal out i guess this marks an

00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:31.360
increase of 20 to 25 over current levels and to make matters worse most fabs have

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:35.040
multi-year contracts with wafer makers meaning if some company needs extra to

00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:38.720
keep up with demand looking at you NVIDIA you are so

00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:43.360
they just keep putting them out thirsty for wafers slurping them up they're

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:47.520
going to be rather hard to obtain the good news is that the big wafer makers

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:51.920
are planning to expand capacity and wafer costs aren't typically the biggest

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

00:01:53.600 --> 00:02:00.880
too keen on spending an extra five bucks that i could have spent on actual wafers

00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.880
you know or horse armor

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:07.040
in elden ring did they even have it

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

00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:14.720
cutting down production of the new iphone se in fact the company is

00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:20.400
planning to cut production next quarter by a full one fifth iphone slash edition

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

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:27.599
end iphones this year but this is a lower number than apple was hoping for

00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:31.920
oh poor apple low demand and not the chip

00:02:30.239 --> 00:02:35.519
shortage is apparently the culprit marking the latest example of consumers

00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:40.080
simply not being all that excited about lower end iphones because they're

00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:43.519
jewelry this is it's simple remember what happened with the iphone 5c i got

00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:46.720
it from our dean's what is that claire's

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:50.800
at the mall there's also the price increase of 30

00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:54.720
over the previous iphone se that's not helping at all especially when the

00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:59.680
iphone 13 mini is also positioned as apple's main mid-range product right now

00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:03.040

sky you can see on a clear moonless night

00:03:54.799 --> 00:04:00.400
riley a new ipad pro is on its way and

00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:05.680
unsurprisingly this one is expected to feature the new m2 chip oh the new new

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:09.920
the new you know that new new the news comes from well-known apple insider mark

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:13.599
german who expects the latest iteration of the tablet to come out this fall the

00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:17.359
upcoming ipad pro is also expected to support magsafe so you can mount it to

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

00:04:19.440 --> 00:04:25.280
field well if you didn't want to use the one in the

00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:30.080
tesla if you get that one terabyte version then you got like a 2 000 gps

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

00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:40.320
ready as a recent leak indicates the upper tier ryzen 9 7950x will have a

00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:43.280
whopping TDP of 170 watts that's a lot

00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:49.120
of watts have you ever seen that many watts a huge increase over the 5950x is

00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:53.520
105 watts what unsurprisingly this would be a 16 core

00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:58.320
processor but that's a high TDP even considering the core count so maybe

00:04:55.280 --> 00:05:00.720
don't pair it with a 20 air cooler

00:04:58.320 --> 00:05:03.600
unless you want to burn your house down for

00:05:01.520 --> 00:05:08.160
points moscow based cyber security and

00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:11.919
antivirus provider kaspersky is now ironically on the fcc's security threat

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:15.759
list i didn't know there were companies who were moscow based

00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:19.360
not anymore you wouldn't know it it isn't super surprising given that

00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:22.960
founder eugene kaspersky is suspected of being connected to russian intelligence

00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:27.039
and kaspersky products were already banned from us government networks but

00:05:24.880 --> 00:05:30.639
it does make kaspersky the first russian company to be added to the list which

00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:35.280
includes chinese companies suspected of government entanglement like huawei and

00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:38.400
zte american companies on the other hand they don't speak to the government at

00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:41.840
all they barely know anything about each other they don't go to luncheons they

00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:45.919
just give you a red envelope slide it under the table

00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:50.320
if you paid for icloud in late 2015 or late 2016 congratulations there's a

00:05:48.479 --> 00:05:54.320
class action settlement that came out of a lawsuit alleging that apple improperly

00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:57.520
handled icloud data so not congratulations i got 25 cents coming to

00:05:56.080 --> 00:06:01.759
me you got manipulated but

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

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

00:06:08.479 --> 00:06:13.919
for a couple months of apple tv plus if that's

00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:18.479
honestly severance though apparently it's good should we cover it

00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:22.400
on our podcast they're just movies or with a little bit of money you could

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

00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:30.880
they already have one uh nothing is confirmed yet but apple is consulting

00:06:28.479 --> 00:06:33.840
with developers like capcom and ubisoft as well as folks in the hardware

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

00:06:36.960 --> 00:06:42.560
this follows earlier reports of apple poaching engineers from microsoft for

00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:46.560
the same purpose or maybe for a hilarious prank there's no console we

00:06:44.960 --> 00:06:51.280
hired you for nothing you don't have a job and we're not

00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:55.120
playing when we say that you better come back on wednesday for more tech news

00:06:52.960 --> 00:06:58.800
because there's going to be more baby and maybe even james will be here maybe

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
