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

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

00:00:14.719 --> 00:00:21.279
a YouTuber for giving a bad review three

00:00:17.720 --> 00:00:23.720
years ago according to Cameron Oley AKA

00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:28.599
golden sound a DCS representative contacted him in October 2023 to express

00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:32.680
concern about a remark he had made that was taken out of context Representatives

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:38.520
then brought up alleged inaccuracies in O's 2021 review of one of their products

00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:42.960
oie claims that he had asked for detail so he could correct the factual errors

00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:47.440
yet he never received them until May of this year from lawyers threatening

00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:52.480
litigation if they weren't fixed in 10 days according to Oley however none of

00:00:50.199 --> 00:00:57.320
the complaints given are actually errors David Stevens managing director of DCs

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

00:01:00.559 --> 00:01:06.439
2022 but Oley never followed up this

00:01:03.559 --> 00:01:11.680
refuting has itself been refuted by headphones.com who Ole has worked for

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:15.799
since 2022 Stevens also said there was no threat of litigation but his argument

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:20.759
seems to be predicated on the word litigation not being used I guess the

00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:25.079
threats of real and special damages impu of Damages was referring to Ole being

00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:27.720
beaten up by a team of paralegals there's much more to this story but we

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

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

00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:41.799
confirmed that the ryzen 9000 series of CPUs will launch at the end of this

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

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:48.360
grubby little hands on them but don't worry they gave us a bunch of pretty

00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:51.960
graphs that they definitely maybe definitely cherry-pick to make

00:01:49.960 --> 00:01:55.960
themselves look good AMD claims that while they've lowered the TDP of three

00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.360
of of the four SKS all 9000 Series chips will see a performance uplift when

00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:03.799
compared to their current gen ryzen 7,000 counterparts a huge part of that

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:08.360
performance uplift are the architectural tweaks AMD has made to the Zen 5 cores

00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:11.560
powering these little processor puppies at the same time the company has

00:02:09.640 --> 00:02:15.000
allegedly made changes to the thermal material between the silicon and the

00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:22.599
heat spreader allowing the flagship ryzen 9 950x to run 7° cooler than the

00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:26.879
795x even though both have the same TDP according to earlier leaked benchmarks

00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:31.280
of the 950x engineering sample there's also strong efficiency improvements over

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

00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:38.480
but terrible news for enthusiasts who have been using their PCS as Insite

00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:42.200
heating can't win them all I know unless there's no Seasons where you live

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:46.680
apologies to all Tech lovers in Oslo according to wired us Telecom giant AT&T

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:51.040
paid hackers $370,000 to delete customer data stolen

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

00:02:53.400 --> 00:03:00.480
recording of the data being deleted but it's still possible some of the data is

00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:02.319
out there this really ATD also did a

00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:06.200
fine job of negotiating as they talked the hackers down from a million dollars

00:03:04.239 --> 00:03:11.280
now AT&T is in a fight with fellow telecoms T-Mobile and Verizon over 5G

00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:16.519
service for emergency responders back in 2017 AT&T won a contract to help the US

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:21.360
government build first net a dedicated Network for First Responders as part of

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

00:03:24.760 --> 00:03:30.599
asked the FCC to assign the 4.9 GHz band

00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:34.599
to First net especially since the band is already considered a public safety

00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:40.560
Spectrum Verizon and T-Mobile don't want firstnet to get that band because they

00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:42.599
see it as A14 billion gift to AT&T that

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

00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:49.920
could throttle firefighters unlimited data plans during dangerous wildfires in

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:54.560
their defense think of the savings they got better yet think of the savings you

00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:59.159
could get thanks to our sponsor Newegg their fantas teex sale is going on right

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

00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:10.840
PSU can get some good deals if you're

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

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

00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:26.240
sitting in your cart if anyone deserves savings it's you wonderful Majestic

00:04:23.080 --> 00:04:28.680
fantastic you treat yourself to fantas

00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:32.479
Tech things by visiting a link in the description below

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:37.120
wait quick bits are on their way but I'm underdressed does my hair look okay sh

00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:41.000
quiet they're coming be cool at least two game studios are calling out Intel

00:04:39.520 --> 00:04:46.880
over instability issues on their high-end 13th and 14th gen CPUs path of

00:04:44.479 --> 00:04:50.919
Titans developer aldron games rake them over the Death Star laser with their

00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:56.280
scathing write up apptly titled Intel is selling defective 13th 14th gen CPUs

00:04:54.440 --> 00:05:00.240
citing crashes and memory corruption Warframe developer digital extreme says

00:04:58.039 --> 00:05:06.960
their user base is experiencing an MV GPU comp 64.dll error and the Crash logs

00:05:03.919 --> 00:05:08.960
are overwhelmingly from Intel CPUs don't

00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:13.000
believe me believe the almighty pie chart Google's Gemini AI platform has

00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:17.960
been accused of scanning Google drive files without user permission by Kevin

00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:21.600
Bankston the senior adviser on AI governments for the nonprofit Center for

00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:24.919
democracy and technology and I almost want to call him Kevin Bacon Bankston

00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:29.440
tweeted that his tax return in Google Docs was summarized by Gemini without

00:05:27.280 --> 00:05:33.479
his consent having said that Google has made a statement clarifying that

00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:37.880
workspace data isn't used to train Ai and so bankston's data is safe the

00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:42.199
company also says that all Bankston had to do was close the Gemini side panel

00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:45.800
and it would stop giving summaries proving once again that maybe having a

00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:50.360
fancy title doesn't mean you always know what you're talking about last year open

00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:54.160
AI pledged that it would rigorously test new versions of its AI to ensure that it

00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:58.840
wouldn't help dangerous actors by developing tools for cyber attacks or a

00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:01.960
bioweapon that makes lupus go Airborne however according to Washington Post

00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:06.160
Open aai Leadership pressured its safety team to speedrun their new testing

00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:10.080
protocol likewise company insiders claimed that employees were required to

00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:13.919
sign ndas requiring them to ask permission before talking to Regulators

00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:18.360
openai reportedly scheduled the Afterparty for the launch of GPD 4 Omni

00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:21.479
even before it was confirmed to be safe which is like sending invites for a baby

00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:27.160
shower before you've even missed a period collaps human civilization any%

00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:31.599
SE Sonic's wattage calculator has leaked the power requirements for the upcoming

00:06:28.880 --> 00:06:36.880
RTX 50 series graphics cards the 5050 and 30 watt increases on the 5090 and 80

00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:41.840
aren't shocking but 60 class cards are getting Juiced if the calculator is

00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:46.479
correct we're talking upwards of 170 watt or almost 50% more power compared

00:06:44.880 --> 00:06:50.319
to the current generation maybe you're lucky NVIDIA will start bundling power

00:06:48.039 --> 00:06:54.919
supplies with their gpus instead of games what would you rather have Diablo

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:59.879
4 or a working computer and the world AI Creator awards has crowned its first

00:06:56.960 --> 00:07:04.280
Miss AI Kenza leele or more realistically Phoenix AI the company

00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:08.520
that made her bizarrely two of the competition's four judges are also AI

00:07:06.400 --> 00:07:11.840
generated influencers who exist entirely as Instagram feed thirst bait some

00:07:10.520 --> 00:07:16.160
commentators of the beauty pageant including many so-called real women were

00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:20.639
skeptical of the competition and the unrealistic beauty standards it presents

00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:24.440
of soulless brainless homunculi with poess skin and zero opinions but if you

00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:29.400
want our opinion you should come back on Wednesday for more Tech news how could

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:29.400
you say no it's Tech news
