oh man that Tech news just makes you
want to go if you've ever tried to overclock an
Intel chip that wasn't specifically marked with the K you probably were met
with a great deal of frustration but that may be changing soon thanks to some
new motherboards from azrock although they still can't magically unlock a
locked multiplier azrock attempts to get around this restriction by increasing
the CPU's maximum thermal design power and on Comet Lake it looks like ASRock
is letting users nearly double the default TDP increasing the effective
frequency by over 40% by adjusting the base clock no word on how much these
motherboards might cost but hopefully it won't wind up being cheaper just to buy
an unlock CPU in the first place who needs warranties right yeah screw them
they can't prove you've overclocked it are you in the market for a laptop well
if there's a particular model you've got your eye on you're maybe out of luck
there's a supply shortage on notebook computers that is expected to hit within
the next month unsurprisingly the coronavirus pandemic is affecting Key
Supply chains around the world but most notably in Southeast Asia where tons of
electronics manufacturing takes place and of course with everyone staying at
home and relying even more than we already did on our Electronics to keep
us occupied there's additional demand which is just making the problem even
worse similar to how we're seeing the Nintendo switch go for 500 bucks on
Amazon do you all really need to play Animal Crossing that badly the turnip
Market is going nuts right now honestly I find it kind of boring I got do you
have it yeah I have it and you don't like it I don't like it we probably
should include that people get really mad if you prefer Cloud streaming to
local gaming for whatever reason you might want to take note that NVIDIA's
GeForce now streaming service supports dlss 2.0 dlss which stands for deep
learning super sampling is an AI power technique for upscaling essentially
NVIDIA is training neur networks to upscale images more accurately to
lighten the load on the GPU itself since game streaming does have to make some
quality sacrifices in order to ensure frames can be rendered quickly enough to
be sent over the internet without too much input lag this is certainly good
news the first game to get dlss 2.0 support will be control but more games
should be coming later good news for those of us not wanting to blow our
whole stimulus checks on graphics cards just on subscriptions yeah just on
subscriptions not that different now on to the quick bits baby apple just
launched an updated version of its 13-in MacBook Pro but don't get too excited
other than more storage and updated CPU the only real change here is replacement
to the horrible terrible no good very bad butterfly switch keyboard with a
scissor switch magic keyboard I've actually used that it's pretty good well
when you fall off the horse go back to your old horse I guess keyboard yeah
Microsoft's dual screen surface Neo was supposed to Launch this fall alongside
the dual screen version of Windows called Windows 10x but like many other
things that are being delayed it's being delayed however Microsoft is still
apparently planning to release Windows 10x it's like your date skipped prom but
you got Dro where is this going oh read it Timmy's coming over here to talk what
I missed something but I think it got dirty R Racing is coming to get another
huge title world of warcraft's newest expansion shadowlands it's set to get ra
tracing support as an alpha version of the game shows a spot for R tracing
option it can't yet be enabled but it looks like that'll change by the time
that the game gets released later this summer is it just me or is it kind of on
the nose that we're talking about a game called Shadow lands with rage tracing
that is that's horrible that's a that's a pretty good pun actually I like it
okay French airplane manufacturer Airbus went to replace bomb sniffing dogs with
bomb sniffing sensors they're currently testing a small device that kind of
looks like a fancy smoke detector which is supposed to go in airport screening
areas to see if anyone's trying to smuggle explosives through a checkpoint
if only we could find a way to spot people who were going to listen to their headphones really loudly before they got
on board what seems like John has a very specific tick yeah very specific trigger
not like people that just like open their laptop and listen to it and
researchers that waterl University here in good old Canada have developed a
browser add-on called mitigator that's supposed to be able to tell you if a
site is actually following its privacy policy specifically in the way it
handles cookies it's unclear if or when this will take form as a browser
extension or it might just be built into a popular browser but it should
definitely beat having your cookies mishandled I mean usually I take mine
out of the oven a bit too soon so well anyway get subscribed Tech news do it
