where's the intro Anthony why are you asking me i don't know i'm
just here yeah well i mean i'm just here too like
i mean scrap yard wars is going on yeah like i don't know like nobody's nobody's
here to do their jobs i'm kind of hungry you know microsoft has decided it's time to cram
two screens into one portable device as
its new surface neo was unveiled today in new york city i
know kung fu the dual screen gadget weighs only a
pound and a half due in part to the screens being connected by cables that
aren't even as thick as a human hair that sounds like a bad idea oh yeah
sounds great on paper oh yeah paper thin there's also a new version of Windows
called Windows 10
optimized for two screens microsoft even released a dual screen phone to go
alongside the new surface funnily enough the phone runs Android instead of
Windows and basically yeah resembles a smaller surface google wins you can fold
the top screen back all the way if you want to just hold it more like a
traditional smartphone though it isn't quite clear how developers will use both
screens to their full potential maybe you'll be able to swipe through
two people at once on bumble what's bumble i don't actually know
you might also have noticed that AMD had a presence there and AMD's resurgence
has put price pressure on Intel especially at the higher end where the
new ryzen chips with high core counts are being sold for fairly reasonable
prices unlike Intel's so
Intel has been forced to respond and pricing details that have been released
for the new core 10 series not core 10 series oh my god why can't they
series anyway the new prices for the core x series cpus
reflect this instead of 2 grand of the top end 18 core 10 980 xe
that's a mouthful will cost 979 us
dollars as you go down the stack you eventually get to a 10 core model for just 590
which is obviously still a good chunk of change but
it's indicative of team blue trying to get closer to their rivals in red with
what they're charging these premium chips should be on shelves by the end of
november in case you need 18 cores of processing power to look up stuffing
recipes and just a quick side note it is going
to be compatible with x299 don't worry about that
i have no idea what that means oh google is giving users another way to avoid
indiscriminate data collection this time in its maps app
although you're probably familiar with incognito mode in chrome there is now
going to be an incognito mode in google maps for mobile should be easy to find
in the settings in your user interface by tapping your profile picture and when
enabled google will not save the places you search or get directions to Android
users should be able to take advantage of this later on this month
and while iOS users might have to wait a little longer the feature actually
appears to have been slightly fast-tracked as it only took about two
weeks to be launched officially after a beta preview
so now your friends won't accidentally see that you went somewhere embarrassing
like applebee's what's wrong with applebee's i know right it's actually
pretty decent i've only been there once but it's like the unlimited spirits are the
best yeah who wrote this john

for the quick bits if you're an Android auto user you probably know one of the
most annoying things about it is that you have to use a physical cable to
connect your device unless you have a google phone
however the samsung galaxy s8 and later
now reportedly work with wireless Android auto so that's one less messy
cable you might pull out while you're reaching for your big gulp speaking of
big gulps explosions in your car are typically a bad thing but bosch thinks
that they could actually save your life with one if you get into an accident in
your electric vehicle the company is coming out with a small explosive that
would cut the connection between the battery and the rest of the car in the
event of a crash which could prevent the battery's current from being directed
through the car's frame and reduce the risk of shock
the tech is similar to the mechanism that deploys airbags but hey calling
them explosions makes them sound so much cooler michael bay
yeah unwelcome messages on instagram aren't
anything new but the app is trying to give users a better way to deal with
them in the form of a feature called restrict this is essentially a form of
shadow banning where a blacklisted user's comments won't show up for anyone
but them and they also won't see if and when you've read their messages not a
bad little tool if you've got a crazy x on your hands
looking at you elaine stop messaging me
you heard the man as loot boxes grow increasingly unpopular one popular game
has a plan to eliminate them rocket league is going to be replacing loot
boxes with virtual blueprints which will show users what they'll be getting
before they buy them so they're basically just standard dlc with a fancy
sounding name but but i need that mystery i need the rng
the gambling you're not even getting rmg if you know what's in the box i know but
that's what i'm saying i want that gamble but that's illegal
uh bye and if you're a fan of those lime
electric scooters beware of florida man
florida man a guy from fort lauderdale was recently
caught after he cut the brakes to 20 public e-scooters in the area
after he was arrested he didn't give a motive
why so maybe the idea of like people zipping
around on scooters just made his limit is the inner ludite come to the
fore that doesn't even make sense no it really doesn't it just destroys things
it makes people slower i guess it's like it's probably the same
like justification as people have for rolling coal and now it's time for you
to channel your inaudible because that's it for today so come back on friday for
more tech news and maybe a few more florida man updates we'll keep you
posted florida man yeah florida man is just getting around
