1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,120
oh thank goodness you're here the tech news was almost offended

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:11,599
jk the tech news cannot be offended it is not a person

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:16,720
reviews of one of the two laptops that apple has slapped its new m2 chip into

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:20,160
so far are out and the consensus seems to be that while the company's second

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:24,560
gen soc definitely brings some performance gains it's hard to recommend

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:29,840
grabbing it when it comes buried inside the same old boring 13-inch macbook pro

7
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:34,320
design sure the m2 performs a bit better than the m1 but is that saying much when

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:39,280
you're comparing a supposedly pro laptop to a chip you can find in the ipad air

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:44,800
some reviews noted that a macbook pro with an m1 pro chip can still get up to

10
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:49,440
double the performance of the m2 in some cases plus do you want to be seen buying

11
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,760
a new laptop that still has the touch bar on it that would probably be so

12
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:57,520
embarrassing for you the m2's value proposition might make a little more

13
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:02,879
sense when the new macbook air shows up or better yet when it comes in its

14
00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:04,479
inevitable upgraded m2 pro model so stay

15
00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:09,600
tuned for that episode where we scrutinize those products for anything

16
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:14,320
we could make a joke about in other product review news Intel's arc a380

17
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:19,840
desktop graphics card has received one of its first full reviews courtesy of

18
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:22,560
chinese tech channel

19
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:26,479
shh i'm not gonna say it right it's it's anglicized shen

20
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:37,600
i tried on billy billy as expected the card was able to keep pace with and even

21
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:39,759
outperform a Radeon rx 6400 and gtx 1650

22
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:44,320
in some synthetic benchmarks but performed significantly worse in every

23
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,720
real world gaming scenario if you're thinking oh oh that's because the

24
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:53,360
drivers probably aren't optimized good job that seems to be the prevailing

25
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:58,079
explanation among speculationists on the internet right now if so Intel better

26
00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:04,159
get those drivers in shape before they launch the Intel serpent canyon nuk with

27
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:06,640
its arc a770m GPU which was leaked on

28
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:10,399
another chinese social media site baidu prepare for more info dumps like this

29
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:15,440
out of china as Intel continues its launch in that country starting with the

30
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:19,680
low-end gpus and working their way up to the flagship models i'm guessing by that

31
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:23,280
time Intel hopes to have its drivers in shape because they'll have all that

32
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:27,680
training data from chinese gamers my idea of optimizing drivers basically

33
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:32,160
just looks like reboot it's a great show i'm bob and sorry non-canadian listeners

34
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:38,959
but we're going to talk about our own country for a second because the canadian government has just voted to

35
00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:40,720
advance the controversial bill c11 aka

36
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:45,760
the online streaming act which would require platforms like youtube netflix

37
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:50,560
and even pornhub to change the way they serve up content proponents of bill c-11

38
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:55,040
say the act is needed to place digital distributors under the same regulations

39
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:59,840
that apply to traditional broadcasters defining and promoting content that

40
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,760
qualifies as canadian we call it can con

41
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:06,640
up here not to be confused with the much more interesting cancun but critics

42
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,720
argue that platforms would be forced to prioritize and de-prioritize certain

43
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:15,680
content for canadian audiences potentially affecting viewership at home

44
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:19,360
and abroad c11 now moves to a final vote in the senate so if you don't want this

45
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,239
to happen write to your representatives and if you do want it to happen i don't

46
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,760
know drink a bag of milk and chill i guess

47
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:31,920

in and out you won't even you won't even notice them you won't remember them a

56
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:06,319
new tech industry group called the metaverse standards forum has been

57
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:11,360
created by a number of tech giants including microsoft epic games NVIDIA

58
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:15,519
qualcomm and of course meta they almost set out though as the

59
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:20,000
name implies the forum will be working on developing interoperable standards

60
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:24,080
between different vr and ar ecosystems something apple and google are

61
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:28,960
apparently not interested in as they haven't joined the club yet they didn't

62
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:33,280
even respond to the rsvp mark stayed up all night working on it pretty rude

63
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:40,320
they were partying in their own private metaverses github has publicly released

64
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:42,639
its ai powered coding assistant copilot

65
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,840
as part of a 10 per month subscription although it's free for students and

66
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:50,080
maintainers of popular open source projects copilot hasn't been free of

67
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:54,400
controversy with some criticizing the fact that it previously required paid

68
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:59,600
software to use and others probably asking if the code generated by the ai

69
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:04,080
is sentient for some reason you have to name every string that it writes and

70
00:05:01,919 --> 00:05:08,160
assure it that it matters you're a parent now in other microsoft news

71
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:13,360
because microsoft owns github the company may have blocked downloads of

72
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,880
Windows 10 and 11 for users in russia

73
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:18,800
multiple reports make it seem like that's the case but microsoft hasn't

74
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:22,960
officially commented on the issue they did publish a blog post though today

75
00:05:21,039 --> 00:05:27,120
detailing their efforts to help ukraine fight back against russian attacks both

76
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,840
cyber and otherwise so i don't think it would be

77
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:35,039
super out of character like i don't think anyone's saying what but why

78
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:39,600
north american phone aficionados excited for the release of the much hyped

79
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:43,600
nothing phone one received some disappointing news today when the

80
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:48,400
company headed by former oneplus chief carl pay announced the phone one would

81
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:52,639
not be getting a widespread release in the u.s or canada so i guess north

82
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:57,600
american fans of nothing will get what they wanted after all and amazon has

83
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:03,600
unveiled what it calls its first fully autonomous mobile robot called proteus

84
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:08,240
which can move large carts around its warehouses proteus arrives at a crucial

85
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:12,479
time for amazon which just had a memo leak showing that executives think the

86
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:17,759
company's high turnover rate has almost depleted the entire available workforce

87
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:21,759
close one amazon talk about a success story and this

88
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:28,600
episode has successfully concluded come back on friday for more tech news or it

89
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:28,600
will be offended i lied at the beginning
