what are you starting this one no you're you're starting it what no i thought
that you're going to say the like oh hey it's jimmy oh you just what
do the tech news dude what
read the script it's easy no jimmy the tech news it's
been inside you all along
i thought you were going to purpose that oh my gosh apple may release an iphone
in 2021 with no lightning port
but it won't have usbc either
see multiple leaks and rumors have pointed to apple finally retiring from
the lightning connector for future iphones with the obvious replacement
being usb type-c however apple analyst ming chi ko who has a great track record
for apple product prophecy predicts that in 2021 apple released a high-end iphone
with no ports at all uh sure cooperino would apparently
rather go completely wireless than listen to consumer's demands and i
thought they had changed after we got the good keyboard on the 16-inch macbook
pro but i guess not some people are just
toxic you know who also predicts we'll see a smaller sized iphone se sized
iphone 9 in spring 2021 surely apple
would put a USB-C in that one right no
never apple head honcho phil spencer has
bragged on twitter about taking home a next-gen xbox garlic console using it to
play his games connect to the community and yes his elite 2 series controller oh
good thing he clarified that last point i was wondering whether he was going to use his elite series 2 controller yeah
anyway the news seems to indicate that microsoft was telling the truth about
scarlett's backwards compatibility features spencer's claim about
connecting to the community indicates that xbox one games and controllers are
apparently completely cross-compatible with scarlet other xbox leaks this week
have indicated that alongside the high-end scarlet microsoft will launch
another cheaper diskless version of the xbox codenamed lockhart it's unclear at
this time whether you'll also be able to have a blast with that model but i'm
sure phil will tweet again and qualcomm has announced more processors at its
annual tech summit including the snapdragon 8c and 7c both new processors
for laptops and tablets that are for some reason less powerful than the hcx
introduced last year but the more interesting addition is the snapdragon
xr2 5g a chipset designed for extended reality that's vr and ar headsets the
xr2 will apparently enable all-in-one headsets like the oculus quest with 3k
by 3k resolution at 90 hertz up to seven
built-in cameras and even integrated 5g connectivity nyan tech the developers of
pokemon go are collaborating with qualcomm to make augmented reality
glasses that you can use to see your fake cartoon animals in real life yeah

looks like tick-tock should have taken a page from youtube's book because the
social apps parent company bite dance has been sued for violating privacy laws
that prevent the collection of data from children tiktok has apparently collected
data from users under the age of 13 since 2014 but on the other hand we've
got some pretty bumping acapella videos right oh that's not
yeah it's still bad rocket league has completed their quest to get rid of
sketchy loot boxes replacing them with an item shop where users can straight up
buy cosmetics that they want but now players are complaining because the
items are expensive as much as fifteen dollars for a set of rare wheels but
fifteen dollars for a set of wheels in real life is a steal so i can't complain
yeah i can't curb them in rocket league either researchers of facebook have
taught an ai system how to understand theory of mind at a primitive level mean
it can predict the actions and empathize with human players in a cooperative game
at the same time simon ii the upgraded astronaut helper robot has been sent to
the iss to serve as an empathetic conversational partner
so maybe we'll have a chance to make friends with the robots right before
they vaporize us i don't think they can do that speaking
of ai developer nick walton has released ai dungeon 2 a text-based game that uses
elon musk's open ai to procedurally generate an infinite number of game
scenarios you can type whatever you want riley has been able to eat a magic ring
turn into superman and fly into space so
check it out if the real world isn't confusing and disorientating enough for
you and researchers at bath in the uk have
designed artificial neurons tiny silicone chips that mimic the functions
of real squishy neurons like in your
squishy the hope is that they could be implanted in brains to make up for
deficits caused by injuries or diseases but just like maybe we could use them to
come up with some less cringy tech link jokes
rude can't believe you would say that alex
you're the one that wrote that riley all right that's been enough of this come
back on monday for more tech news and until then well we
have fun on the weekend or don't i will
oh we have a sick Linus hey guys i'm just gonna try to host techlink today
