nine out of 10 doctors recommend you sit down while listening to the tech news in

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:12,320
case you pass out from shock the 10th doctor bit of a jerk to be honest Audio

00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:17,720
company DCS has been forced to respond to allegations they've threatened to sue

4
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:21,279
a YouTuber for giving a bad review three

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:23,720
years ago according to Cameron Oley AKA

6
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:28,599
golden sound a DCS representative contacted him in October 2023 to express

7
00:00:26,679 --> 00:00:32,680
concern about a remark he had made that was taken out of context Representatives

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:38,520
then brought up alleged inaccuracies in O's 2021 review of one of their products

9
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:42,960
oie claims that he had asked for detail so he could correct the factual errors

10
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:47,440
yet he never received them until May of this year from lawyers threatening

11
00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:52,480
litigation if they weren't fixed in 10 days according to Oley however none of

12
00:00:50,199 --> 00:00:57,320
the complaints given are actually errors David Stevens managing director of DCs

13
00:00:54,879 --> 00:01:03,559
refutes some of this in a response he claims o was provided a list of inac in

14
00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:06,439
2022 but Oley never followed up this

15
00:01:03,559 --> 00:01:11,680
refuting has itself been refuted by headphones.com who Ole has worked for

16
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:15,799
since 2022 Stevens also said there was no threat of litigation but his argument

17
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:20,759
seems to be predicated on the word litigation not being used I guess the

18
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:25,079
threats of real and special damages impu of Damages was referring to Ole being

19
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,720
beaten up by a team of paralegals there's much more to this story but we

20
00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:32,840
didn't have room for everything we'll try to provide updates on future episodes and line us will probably

21
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:37,479
mention this on this week's WAN Show on Friday so stay tuned for that AMD has

22
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:41,799
confirmed that the ryzen 9000 series of CPUs will launch at the end of this

23
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:45,200
month but they didn't tell us how much we'll have to Shell out to get our

24
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:48,360
grubby little hands on them but don't worry they gave us a bunch of pretty

25
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,960
graphs that they definitely maybe definitely cherry-pick to make

26
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:55,960
themselves look good AMD claims that while they've lowered the TDP of three

27
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,360
of of the four SKS all 9000 Series chips will see a performance uplift when

28
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:03,799
compared to their current gen ryzen 7,000 counterparts a huge part of that

29
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:08,360
performance uplift are the architectural tweaks AMD has made to the Zen 5 cores

30
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:11,560
powering these little processor puppies at the same time the company has

31
00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:15,000
allegedly made changes to the thermal material between the silicon and the

32
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:22,599
heat spreader allowing the flagship ryzen 9 950x to run 7° cooler than the

33
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:26,879
795x even though both have the same TDP according to earlier leaked benchmarks

34
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:31,280
of the 950x engineering sample there's also strong efficiency improvements over

35
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:34,519
the 7950 X this is great news for people who want to save on their energy bills

36
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:38,480
but terrible news for enthusiasts who have been using their PCS as Insite

37
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:42,200
heating can't win them all I know unless there's no Seasons where you live

38
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:46,680
apologies to all Tech lovers in Oslo according to wired us Telecom giant AT&T

39
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,040
paid hackers $370,000 to delete customer data stolen

40
00:02:49,239 --> 00:02:55,680
in the breach we reported on last week for that fee AT&T also got a video

41
00:02:53,400 --> 00:03:00,480
recording of the data being deleted but it's still possible some of the data is

42
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:02,319
out there this really ATD also did a

43
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:06,200
fine job of negotiating as they talked the hackers down from a million dollars

44
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:11,280
now AT&T is in a fight with fellow telecoms T-Mobile and Verizon over 5G

45
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:16,519
service for emergency responders back in 2017 AT&T won a contract to help the US

46
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:21,360
government build first net a dedicated Network for First Responders as part of

47
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:28,319
the deal AT&T can sell exess capacity to AT&T's commercial customers now AT&T has

48
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:30,599
asked the FCC to assign the 4.9 GHz band

49
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:34,599
to First net especially since the band is already considered a public safety

50
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:40,560
Spectrum Verizon and T-Mobile don't want firstnet to get that band because they

51
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:42,599
see it as A14 billion gift to AT&T that

52
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,480
or maybe Verizon wants to be able to go back to the good old days when they

53
00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:49,920
could throttle firefighters unlimited data plans during dangerous wildfires in

54
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:54,560
their defense think of the savings they got better yet think of the savings you

55
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:59,159
could get thanks to our sponsor Newegg their fantas teex sale is going on right

56
00:03:57,079 --> 00:04:08,159
now it's time to think about you whether that's GPU CPU or even PSU cuz

57
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:10,840
PSU can get some good deals if you're

58
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:16,239
tired of buying your PCS piece by piece you can save $500 on a 4070 powered Acer

59
00:04:13,799 --> 00:04:20,479
gaming PC you can also save on that new ktc gaming monitor we both know is just

60
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:26,240
sitting in your cart if anyone deserves savings it's you wonderful Majestic

61
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:28,680
fantastic you treat yourself to fantas

wait quick bits are on their way but I'm underdressed does my hair look okay sh

64
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:41,000
quiet they're coming be cool at least two game studios are calling out Intel

65
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:46,880
over instability issues on their high-end 13th and 14th gen CPUs path of

66

Titans developer aldron games rake them over the Death Star laser with their

67
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:56,280
scathing write up apptly titled Intel is selling defective 13th 14th gen CPUs

68
00:04:54,440 --> 00:05:00,240
citing crashes and memory corruption Warframe developer digital extreme says

69
00:04:58,039 --> 00:05:06,960
their user base is experiencing an MV GPU comp 64.dll error and the Crash logs

70
00:05:03,919 --> 00:05:08,960
are overwhelmingly from Intel CPUs don't

71
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:13,000
believe me believe the almighty pie chart Google's Gemini AI platform has

72
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:17,960
been accused of scanning Google drive files without user permission by Kevin

73
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:21,600
Bankston the senior adviser on AI governments for the nonprofit Center for

74
00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:24,919
democracy and technology and I almost want to call him Kevin Bacon Bankston

75
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:29,440
tweeted that his tax return in Google Docs was summarized by Gemini without

76
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:33,479
his consent having said that Google has made a statement clarifying that

77
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:37,880
workspace data isn't used to train Ai and so bankston's data is safe the

78
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:42,199
company also says that all Bankston had to do was close the Gemini side panel

79
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,800
and it would stop giving summaries proving once again that maybe having a

80
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:50,360
fancy title doesn't mean you always know what you're talking about last year open

81
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:54,160
AI pledged that it would rigorously test new versions of its AI to ensure that it

82
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:58,840
wouldn't help dangerous actors by developing tools for cyber attacks or a

83
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:01,960
bioweapon that makes lupus go Airborne however according to Washington Post

84
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:06,160
Open aai Leadership pressured its safety team to speedrun their new testing

85
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:10,080
protocol likewise company insiders claimed that employees were required to

86
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:13,919
sign ndas requiring them to ask permission before talking to Regulators

87
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:18,360
openai reportedly scheduled the Afterparty for the launch of GPD 4 Omni

88
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,479
even before it was confirmed to be safe which is like sending invites for a baby

SE Sonic's wattage calculator has leaked the power requirements for the upcoming

91
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:36,880
RTX 50 series graphics cards the 5050 and 30 watt increases on the 5090 and 80

92
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:41,840
aren't shocking but 60 class cards are getting Juiced if the calculator is

93
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:46,479
correct we're talking upwards of 170 watt or almost 50% more power compared

94
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:50,319
to the current generation maybe you're lucky NVIDIA will start bundling power

95
00:06:48,039 --> 00:06:54,919
supplies with their gpus instead of games what would you rather have Diablo

96
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:59,879
4 or a working computer and the world AI Creator awards has crowned its first

97
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:04,280
Miss AI Kenza leele or more realistically Phoenix AI the company

98

that made her bizarrely two of the competition's four judges are also AI

99
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:11,840
generated influencers who exist entirely as Instagram feed thirst bait some

100
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:16,160
commentators of the beauty pageant including many so-called real women were

101
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:20,639
skeptical of the competition and the unrealistic beauty standards it presents

102
00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:24,440
of soulless brainless homunculi with poess skin and zero opinions but if you

103
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:29,400
want our opinion you should come back on Wednesday for more Tech news how could

104
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,400
you say no it's Tech news
