you might think this is a show about tech news well think again buddy because
clearly you've got a talent for thinking correctly
nice job huawei sometimes i feel bad for the chinese
tech giant like all they want to do is roll out 5g technology to everybody why
is the us and australia and europe treating them like they're spying for the chinese government and then huawei
goes and spies on apple allegedly a
report from the information.com details first-person accounts of huawei
attempting to steal and reverse engineer the design for the heart rate sensor
used in the apple watch a number of manufacturers reportedly refused to
manufacture the part for huawei because they recognized the component another
story involves a former apple employee being repeatedly asked about upcoming
apple products and features while interviewing for a job at huawei now
some might hear news like this and think hey that's just business okay
that's just how it goes others might ask
why why why
the world is about to see a lot of folding and bendable devices and tcl is
looking to get ahead of the curve by patenting a bending phone that can roll
up around your wrist like those slap bracelets did you ever did you ever have
one of those dennis the slap no the ones were like oh yes yeah
there i knew it slap bracelets
no tcl a company known for making displays
smartphones and tvs actually patented four other folding designs as well that
look more like the other concepts that we've seen from samsung xiaomi and
others the phone bracelet design stands out a little maybe that's because it
looks very similar to lenovo's concept phone from 2016. i don't know i think
i'd prefer to just wear a smartwatch or to just like embed the phone in my
actual skin or something you know something simple and this isn't exactly
tech news but i've been following the hype around bioware's anthem throughout
its development and now that the game is out for some people who bought it anyway
i can truly let myself feel the disappointment reviews are saying the
game has some really cool elements like the first few hours of combat and flying
are fun but the game feels like it was designed by executives who tried to tick
off all the boxes for game features they think the kids like nowadays if you
don't want to be thrust into the game's final mission long before you're ready
stay away from quick play and the story the main reason i was even excited for
this game is apparently a thin shadow of the quality found in mass effect and
dragon age and if you don't want to miss important cutscenes or dialogue thanks
to the game's ubiquitous loading screens forbes even recommends playing it solo
what did you do to bioware ea what did you do but people also said
stuff like this about destiny 2 when it came out so i don't know we'll see what happens it's time for quick bits brought

i can't i'm busy doing quick bits NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce gtx 1660 ti
has been spotted in results from the final fantasy 15 benchmark which always
seems to come up before a major GPU launches the new card's performance is
apparently better than the gtx 1070 and only just slightly behind the gtx titan
x although that is the maxwell titan x from four years ago still if the 1660 ti
launches at its rumored price of 279 u.s
it would be a heck of a value i sincerely doubt that will be the price
though team green loves its green a little too much you get that green
loves it team team green they love the benjamins call
it a sign of the times samsung has said it will stop production of 1080p and 4k
blu-ray players in the u.s following similar news from oppo previous reports
that said samsung was making a new high-end 4k blu-ray player for 2019 but
that has since been scrapped and so begins the long slow death of discs
i might be wrong but at the same time you can't very well
play frisbee with a netflix subscription to my
discs an fcc filing shows that motorola's upcoming 5g moto mod
attachment for the moto z3 has sensors other phones have sensors the
moto z3 has sensors they're to detect whether your fingers are covering the
device's millimeter wave antenna if it detects your digits it will disable the
module that's being blocked to prevent radiation exposure except
all 5g devices are supposed to operate within
acceptable radiation limits so
why do we need this i've been following the development of the smok z handheld Windows gaming
system for a time and a new set of videos now show that the device is
coming along the demos show the smoxy playing starcraft 2 left 4 dead and
other games pretty well it's taken them years but at least they're spending more
time on the product itself than they apparently spent on the name
smock really and microsoft knows it
screwed up the Windows 10 october update now it wants to get ahead of any
problems that might come up for future updates and i mean the future microsoft
is currently testing a Windows 10 build slated for a 2020 release so if there's
still bugs by the time that comes out i might be tempted to switch to macOS
no no and now i'm tempted to end this episode
and i must give in to temptation unfortunately
because it's over thanks for watching guys and come back on wednesday for more
tech news i promise it'll be juicy ew
dennis just made a juicy sound whatever that is happy family day i
don't want oh happy yeah well it's family day up here i think it's
president's day down there
