00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.400
look when you've got tech news you don't need friends who wrote that

00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:12.400
you need friends riley so all of us are probably thankful that we have our games

00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:17.119
to keep us busy during the current pandemic but one major game retailer is

00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:21.119
being accused of taking things a little too far last week we reported on how

00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:25.760
gamestop was trying to argue that they were an essential business that needed

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:29.359
to stay open during the outbreak and now according to boston globe report they're

00:00:27.599 --> 00:00:33.760
now telling employees to wrap their hands in plastic bags and keep working

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:37.520
the idea is that store workers should wrap their hands in a bag stick their

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:42.640
arms out the front door which is only open a crack and get the customer's

00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:47.440
credit card then run the cart without touching it turn the bag inside out so

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:52.079
the card stays inside stick the purchase inside and hand it

00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:55.680
out the door although not the only store to offer

00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:59.600
curbside pickup during this crisis there are concerns isn't a proper safety

00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:05.039
measure it's almost as dangerous as plunking down 60 bucks for another star

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.039
wars title oh

00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:11.680
although apparently jedi ordered for all in order was pretty good good delivery

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:15.040
riley laptop cpus have traditionally run at

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

00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:25.520
is throwing caution to the literal wind that will be coming out of your laptop

00:01:23.119 --> 00:01:31.040
the core i9 0 hk sure that's a bad one will serve as

00:01:29.119 --> 00:01:36.799
the flagship of Intel's newest CPU lineup and it's going to boost to a

00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:38.960
total of 5.3 gigahertz that's

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:42.560
really fast and although it's obviously not an exact comparison it's even higher

00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:47.640
in the boost clock on their current top-end desktop processor chip the core

00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:52.799
i9 9900k the 1098-0 hk will feature 8 cores 16

00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:56.560
threads and an unlocked multiplier and although we're not sure about pricing

00:01:54.479 --> 00:02:01.600
yet it's probably going to be pretty freaking expensive as this chip is

00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:05.439
expected to launch early next month so hopefully it isn't an april fool's prank

00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:08.959
but pretty late april yeah especially since AMD just

00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:12.160
absolutely stomped them in mobile shifting to the war against the

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:16.160
coronavirus one pretty cool piece of tech to help us identify new cases could

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

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

00:02:22.239 --> 00:02:29.040
negative result in less than 15 minutes rather than hours or days and because

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

00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:37.599
now works using rna amplification it can take a very small piece of genetic

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:42.560
material from the virus and replicate it until it has been detected avid expects

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:46.800
to deliver around 50 000 id now devices every day beginning next week as the

00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:50.480

the phones will reportedly have 5g support and the pro model will also get

00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:27.120
wireless charging which could make it more competitive with competing flagship

00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:30.720
devices you can catch a live stream of the launch event on youtube on the 14th

00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:33.840
in case you haven't gotten tired of sitting at home watching things already

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

00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:42.639
getting quite a treat this year as nintendo will reportedly be planning hd

00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:47.040
remasters of several old favorites these include super mario 64 super mario

00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:50.160
sunshine and super mario galaxy for the switch

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:55.440
mario mario yeah same thing although there are rumblings

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

00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:04.000
35th year for mario it's not too surprising nintendo could be offering us

00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:08.800
a little more but i was personally holding out for a mario branded plunger

00:05:06.320 --> 00:05:11.840
he jumps out of toilets right sure some of you may have gotten a

00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:17.120
pleasant surprise when you received a disc copy of square enix's final fantasy

00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:20.880
which number is that seven remake ahead of schedule

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:24.960
a statement from the company noted that the pandemic forced square enix to

00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:28.320
adjust shipping so while it's great for those who got the game early they've

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

00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:36.160
don't want to know what happens in the game that was already released 20 years

00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:39.840
ago or whatever 23 years yeah i think you're good for

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:44.080
spoilers and you may have noticed that for the time being you can't upload

custom gamer picks on xbox live unsurprisingly custom uploads are

00:05:45.919 --> 00:05:51.360
typically reviewed by moderation teams but with so many people currently

00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:55.360
staying at home and playing xbox microsoft staff can't keep up a good

00:05:53.600 --> 00:06:00.400
reminder not to ruin things for everyone by uploading photos of well

00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:04.160
