1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,400
look when you've got tech news you don't need friends who wrote that

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:12,400
you need friends riley so all of us are probably thankful that we have our games

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:17,119
to keep us busy during the current pandemic but one major game retailer is

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:21,119
being accused of taking things a little too far last week we reported on how

5
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:25,760
gamestop was trying to argue that they were an essential business that needed

6
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:29,359
to stay open during the outbreak and now according to boston globe report they're

7
00:00:27,599 --> 00:00:33,760
now telling employees to wrap their hands in plastic bags and keep working

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:37,520
the idea is that store workers should wrap their hands in a bag stick their

9
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:42,640
arms out the front door which is only open a crack and get the customer's

10
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:47,440
credit card then run the cart without touching it turn the bag inside out so

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:52,079
the card stays inside stick the purchase inside and hand it

12
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:55,680
out the door although not the only store to offer

13
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:59,600
curbside pickup during this crisis there are concerns isn't a proper safety

14
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:05,039
measure it's almost as dangerous as plunking down 60 bucks for another star

15
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,039
wars title oh

16
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,680
although apparently jedi ordered for all in order was pretty good good delivery

17
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,040
riley laptop cpus have traditionally run at

18
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:20,799
lower clock speeds in their desktop counterparts but Intel's upcoming offerings for gaming and editing laptops

19
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:25,520
is throwing caution to the literal wind that will be coming out of your laptop

20
00:01:23,119 --> 00:01:31,040
the core i9 0 hk sure that's a bad one will serve as

21
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:36,799
the flagship of Intel's newest CPU lineup and it's going to boost to a

22
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,960
total of 5.3 gigahertz that's

23
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:42,560
really fast and although it's obviously not an exact comparison it's even higher

24
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:47,640
in the boost clock on their current top-end desktop processor chip the core

25
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:52,799
i9 9900k the 1098-0 hk will feature 8 cores 16

26
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:56,560
threads and an unlocked multiplier and although we're not sure about pricing

27
00:01:54,479 --> 00:02:01,600
yet it's probably going to be pretty freaking expensive as this chip is

28
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:05,439
expected to launch early next month so hopefully it isn't an april fool's prank

29
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:08,959
but pretty late april yeah especially since AMD just

30
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:12,160
absolutely stomped them in mobile shifting to the war against the

31
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,160
coronavirus one pretty cool piece of tech to help us identify new cases could

32
00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:20,400
be making its way to the clinic near you soon it's called the id now from abbott

33
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:24,800
Labs and it's a gadget about the size of a toaster that can provide positive or

34
00:02:22,239 --> 00:02:29,040
negative result in less than 15 minutes rather than hours or days and because

35
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:34,239
it's small it can be used in clinics and offices instead of just hospitals the id

36
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:37,599
now works using rna amplification it can take a very small piece of genetic

37
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:42,560
material from the virus and replicate it until it has been detected avid expects

38
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,800
to deliver around 50 000 id now devices every day beginning next week as the

39
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:50,480
virus continues to spread despite social distancing measures on that note make

washed your hands if you say yes the app will match you

60
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:27,120
wireless charging which could make it more competitive with competing flagship

devices you can catch a live stream of the launch event on youtube on the 14th

62
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:33,840
in case you haven't gotten tired of sitting at home watching things already

63
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:38,160
there's so many things to watch like the tech news it looks like you mario fans will be

64
00:04:36,479 --> 00:04:42,639
getting quite a treat this year as nintendo will reportedly be planning hd

65
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:47,040
remasters of several old favorites these include super mario 64 super mario

66
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:50,160
sunshine and super mario galaxy for the switch

67
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:55,440
mario mario yeah same thing although there are rumblings

68
00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:59,759
that the new paper mario game is in the works for the holidays but seeing as the

69
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:04,000
35th year for mario it's not too surprising nintendo could be offering us

70
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:08,800
a little more but i was personally holding out for a mario branded plunger

71
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,840
he jumps out of toilets right sure some of you may have gotten a

72
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:17,120
pleasant surprise when you received a disc copy of square enix's final fantasy

73
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:20,880
which number is that seven remake ahead of schedule

74
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:24,960
a statement from the company noted that the pandemic forced square enix to

75
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:28,320
adjust shipping so while it's great for those who got the game early they've

76
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:32,240
also been asked not to spoil it for those that have not been so lucky no i

77
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:36,160
don't want to know what happens in the game that was already released 20 years

78
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:39,840
ago or whatever 23 years yeah i think you're good for

79
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:44,080
spoilers and you may have noticed that for the time being you can't upload

81
00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:51,360
typically reviewed by moderation teams but with so many people currently

82
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:55,360
staying at home and playing xbox microsoft staff can't keep up a good

83
00:05:53,600 --> 00:06:00,400
reminder not to ruin things for everyone by uploading photos of well

84
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:04,160
