nine out of 10 doctors recommend you sit down while listening to the tech news in
case you pass out from shock the 10th doctor bit of a jerk to be honest Audio
company DCS has been forced to respond to allegations they've threatened to sue
a YouTuber for giving a bad review three
years ago according to Cameron Oley AKA
golden sound a DCS representative contacted him in October 2023 to express
concern about a remark he had made that was taken out of context Representatives
then brought up alleged inaccuracies in O's 2021 review of one of their products
oie claims that he had asked for detail so he could correct the factual errors
yet he never received them until May of this year from lawyers threatening
litigation if they weren't fixed in 10 days according to Oley however none of
the complaints given are actually errors David Stevens managing director of DCs
refutes some of this in a response he claims o was provided a list of inac in
2022 but Oley never followed up this
refuting has itself been refuted by headphones.com who Ole has worked for
since 2022 Stevens also said there was no threat of litigation but his argument
seems to be predicated on the word litigation not being used I guess the
threats of real and special damages impu of Damages was referring to Ole being
beaten up by a team of paralegals there's much more to this story but we
didn't have room for everything we'll try to provide updates on future episodes and line us will probably
mention this on this week's WAN Show on Friday so stay tuned for that AMD has
confirmed that the ryzen 9000 series of CPUs will launch at the end of this
month but they didn't tell us how much we'll have to Shell out to get our
grubby little hands on them but don't worry they gave us a bunch of pretty
graphs that they definitely maybe definitely cherry-pick to make
themselves look good AMD claims that while they've lowered the TDP of three
of of the four SKS all 9000 Series chips will see a performance uplift when
compared to their current gen ryzen 7,000 counterparts a huge part of that
performance uplift are the architectural tweaks AMD has made to the Zen 5 cores
powering these little processor puppies at the same time the company has
allegedly made changes to the thermal material between the silicon and the
heat spreader allowing the flagship ryzen 9 950x to run 7° cooler than the
795x even though both have the same TDP according to earlier leaked benchmarks
of the 950x engineering sample there's also strong efficiency improvements over
the 7950 X this is great news for people who want to save on their energy bills
but terrible news for enthusiasts who have been using their PCS as Insite
heating can't win them all I know unless there's no Seasons where you live
apologies to all Tech lovers in Oslo according to wired us Telecom giant AT&T
paid hackers $370,000 to delete customer data stolen
in the breach we reported on last week for that fee AT&T also got a video
recording of the data being deleted but it's still possible some of the data is
out there this really ATD also did a
fine job of negotiating as they talked the hackers down from a million dollars
now AT&T is in a fight with fellow telecoms T-Mobile and Verizon over 5G
service for emergency responders back in 2017 AT&T won a contract to help the US
government build first net a dedicated Network for First Responders as part of
the deal AT&T can sell exess capacity to AT&T's commercial customers now AT&T has
asked the FCC to assign the 4.9 GHz band
to First net especially since the band is already considered a public safety
Spectrum Verizon and T-Mobile don't want firstnet to get that band because they
see it as A14 billion gift to AT&T that
or maybe Verizon wants to be able to go back to the good old days when they
could throttle firefighters unlimited data plans during dangerous wildfires in
their defense think of the savings they got better yet think of the savings you
could get thanks to our sponsor Newegg their fantas teex sale is going on right
now it's time to think about you whether that's GPU CPU or even PSU cuz
PSU can get some good deals if you're
tired of buying your PCS piece by piece you can save $500 on a 4070 powered Acer
gaming PC you can also save on that new ktc gaming monitor we both know is just
sitting in your cart if anyone deserves savings it's you wonderful Majestic
fantastic you treat yourself to fantas

believe me believe the almighty pie chart Google's Gemini AI platform has
been accused of scanning Google drive files without user permission by Kevin
Bankston the senior adviser on AI governments for the nonprofit Center for
democracy and technology and I almost want to call him Kevin Bacon Bankston
tweeted that his tax return in Google Docs was summarized by Gemini without
his consent having said that Google has made a statement clarifying that
workspace data isn't used to train Ai and so bankston's data is safe the
company also says that all Bankston had to do was close the Gemini side panel
and it would stop giving summaries proving once again that maybe having a
fancy title doesn't mean you always know what you're talking about last year open
AI pledged that it would rigorously test new versions of its AI to ensure that it
wouldn't help dangerous actors by developing tools for cyber attacks or a
bioweapon that makes lupus go Airborne however according to Washington Post
Open aai Leadership pressured its safety team to speedrun their new testing
protocol likewise company insiders claimed that employees were required to
sign ndas requiring them to ask permission before talking to Regulators
openai reportedly scheduled the Afterparty for the launch of GPD 4 Omni
even before it was confirmed to be safe which is like sending invites for a baby
shower before you've even missed a period collaps human civilization any%
SE Sonic's wattage calculator has leaked the power requirements for the upcoming
RTX 50 series graphics cards the 5050 and 30 watt increases on the 5090 and 80
aren't shocking but 60 class cards are getting Juiced if the calculator is
correct we're talking upwards of 170 watt or almost 50% more power compared
to the current generation maybe you're lucky NVIDIA will start bundling power
supplies with their gpus instead of games what would you rather have Diablo
4 or a working computer and the world AI Creator awards has crowned its first
Miss AI Kenza leele or more realistically Phoenix AI the company
that made her bizarrely two of the competition's four judges are also AI
generated influencers who exist entirely as Instagram feed thirst bait some
commentators of the beauty pageant including many so-called real women were
skeptical of the competition and the unrealistic beauty standards it presents
of soulless brainless homunculi with poess skin and zero opinions but if you
