00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:07.120
oh thank goodness you're here the tech news was almost offended

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:11.599
jk the tech news cannot be offended it is not a person

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:16.720
reviews of one of the two laptops that apple has slapped its new m2 chip into

00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:20.160
so far are out and the consensus seems to be that while the company's second

00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:24.560
gen soc definitely brings some performance gains it's hard to recommend

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:29.840
grabbing it when it comes buried inside the same old boring 13-inch macbook pro

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

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

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

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

00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:53.760
a new laptop that still has the touch bar on it that would probably be so

00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:57.520
embarrassing for you the m2's value proposition might make a little more

00:00:55.360 --> 00:01:02.879
sense when the new macbook air shows up or better yet when it comes in its

00:00:59.199 --> 00:01:04.479
inevitable upgraded m2 pro model so stay

00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:09.600
tuned for that episode where we scrutinize those products for anything

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:14.320
we could make a joke about in other product review news Intel's arc a380

00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:19.840
desktop graphics card has received one of its first full reviews courtesy of

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:22.560
chinese tech channel

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:26.479
shh i'm not gonna say it right it's it's anglicized shen

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

00:01:32.960 --> 00:01:39.759
outperform a Radeon rx 6400 and gtx 1650

00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:44.320
in some synthetic benchmarks but performed significantly worse in every

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:48.720
real world gaming scenario if you're thinking oh oh that's because the

00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:53.360
drivers probably aren't optimized good job that seems to be the prevailing

00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:58.079
explanation among speculationists on the internet right now if so Intel better

00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:04.159
get those drivers in shape before they launch the Intel serpent canyon nuk with

00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:06.640
its arc a770m GPU which was leaked on

00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:10.399
another chinese social media site baidu prepare for more info dumps like this

00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:15.440
out of china as Intel continues its launch in that country starting with the

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

00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:23.280
time Intel hopes to have its drivers in shape because they'll have all that

00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:27.680
training data from chinese gamers my idea of optimizing drivers basically

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

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

00:02:35.519 --> 00:02:40.720
advance the controversial bill c11 aka

00:02:38.959 --> 00:02:45.760
the online streaming act which would require platforms like youtube netflix

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:50.560
and even pornhub to change the way they serve up content proponents of bill c-11

00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:55.040
say the act is needed to place digital distributors under the same regulations

00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:59.840
that apply to traditional broadcasters defining and promoting content that

00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:01.760
qualifies as canadian we call it can con

00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:06.640
up here not to be confused with the much more interesting cancun but critics

00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:10.720
argue that platforms would be forced to prioritize and de-prioritize certain

00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:15.680
content for canadian audiences potentially affecting viewership at home

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

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

00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:25.760
know drink a bag of milk and chill i guess

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

00:04:00.959 --> 00:04:06.319
new tech industry group called the metaverse standards forum has been

00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:11.360
created by a number of tech giants including microsoft epic games NVIDIA

00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:15.519
qualcomm and of course meta they almost set out though as the

00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:20.000
name implies the forum will be working on developing interoperable standards

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:24.080
between different vr and ar ecosystems something apple and google are

00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:28.960
apparently not interested in as they haven't joined the club yet they didn't

00:04:26.080 --> 00:04:33.280
even respond to the rsvp mark stayed up all night working on it pretty rude

00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:40.320
they were partying in their own private metaverses github has publicly released

00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:42.639
its ai powered coding assistant copilot

00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:45.840
as part of a 10 per month subscription although it's free for students and

00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:50.080
maintainers of popular open source projects copilot hasn't been free of

00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:54.400
controversy with some criticizing the fact that it previously required paid

00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:59.600
software to use and others probably asking if the code generated by the ai

00:04:56.880 --> 00:05:04.080
is sentient for some reason you have to name every string that it writes and

00:05:01.919 --> 00:05:08.160
assure it that it matters you're a parent now in other microsoft news

00:05:06.320 --> 00:05:13.360
because microsoft owns github the company may have blocked downloads of

00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:14.880
Windows 10 and 11 for users in russia

00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:18.800
multiple reports make it seem like that's the case but microsoft hasn't

00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:22.960
officially commented on the issue they did publish a blog post though today

00:05:21.039 --> 00:05:27.120
detailing their efforts to help ukraine fight back against russian attacks both

00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:29.840
cyber and otherwise so i don't think it would be

00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:35.039
super out of character like i don't think anyone's saying what but why

00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:39.600
north american phone aficionados excited for the release of the much hyped

00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:43.600
nothing phone one received some disappointing news today when the

00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:48.400
company headed by former oneplus chief carl pay announced the phone one would

00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:52.639
not be getting a widespread release in the u.s or canada so i guess north

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:57.600
american fans of nothing will get what they wanted after all and amazon has

00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:03.600
unveiled what it calls its first fully autonomous mobile robot called proteus

00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:08.240
which can move large carts around its warehouses proteus arrives at a crucial

00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:12.479
time for amazon which just had a memo leak showing that executives think the

00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:17.759
company's high turnover rate has almost depleted the entire available workforce

00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:21.759
close one amazon talk about a success story and this

00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:28.600
episode has successfully concluded come back on friday for more tech news or it

00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:28.600
will be offended i lied at the beginning
