00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.080
i swear one day tech news will get so advanced that it'll just become

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:10.559
self-aware then it'll just report on itself

00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:12.480
wow narcissistic much cyberpunk 2077

00:00:10.559 --> 00:00:16.560
launched last week to widespread user complaints about it being quote buggier

00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:21.439
than my aunt's cockroach-infested trailer was that a quote from

00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:24.800
i don't know well one curious redditor who claims to be a c-sharp developer

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:29.439
didn't want to wait around for a patch and discovered that they can get significantly higher frame rates simply

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:32.880
by editing a couple of parameters in a config file these settings appear to

00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:36.880
allow the game to use more system resources including memory and vram the

00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:42.399
user claims that with a few tweaks they were able to get above 60fps at 1440p

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:45.440
with high settings using a gtx 1080ti hopefully this tweak will help some of

00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:48.719
you who are struggling to run the game and don't have enough eddies to cyber up

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.920
your rig not that you could chip in now that all the kleptoids have yanked all

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:55.760
the choice gear wow you seem like you've been playing the game a lot uh

00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:58.960
maybe a little the smartphone industry is still trying

00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:02.879
to find a foldable that will really make a splash on the market and oppo with the

00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:06.479
help of design firm nendo thinks they might have one they're calling it a

00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:11.600
slide phone but it doesn't really slide in the way you might remember back when we were all

00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:16.240
rocking feature phones instead it can fold and unfold vertically into three

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:21.360
different sizes so it's really more like unrolling a piece of fruit by the foot

00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:24.720
sounds fun yeah love it each configuration enables different features

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:30.720
and when you unroll it all the way the phone is actually quite long which might make for a cool option for watching

00:01:28.080 --> 00:01:35.439
movies on the go i i guess blade runner oh totally really long

00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:38.240
so is lord of the rings right now the phone's just a concept so there's no

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:42.079
word on when we might see it or something similar on the market i guess

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:45.040
if we really need to unroll something in the meantime to get information i can

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:51.280
always just go back to reading the newspaper oh like we all used to do

00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:51.280
definitely you know me

00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.840
gotta love sitting the big news from apple recently has

00:01:56.240 --> 00:02:01.439
been the launch of macs with their own custom silicon but it looks like

00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:05.280
cupertino isn't done with designing more of its in-house components according to

00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:09.840
a recent apple town hall the company is also developing its own 5g modems for

00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:12.879
use in both iphones and ipads although this would have significant

00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:16.319
repercussions in the balance of power in the mobile space it isn't too surprising

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:20.160
seeing as apple is dead set on controlling as much of its own ecosystem

00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:23.360
as possible previously apple had been using motors from qualcomm so it

00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:26.879
shouldn't shock you that qualcomm shares tumbled a little bit after the news came

00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:30.000
out but i'm sure they're not too worried apple has made ARM desktop chips a real

00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:35.760
commodity so you know what they say about rising tides if they get too big

00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:39.920
it's a tsunami i guess they say today's expedient moments are brought to you by

00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:44.959
redux a pc builder striving to bring the fun of pc gaming to the masses redex

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:53.200

00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:03.680
pc today what what did i even call them

00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:07.200
expedient moments you can't live without them

00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:11.920
and you can't live within them whoa and i've tried but i just i just did disney

00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:15.280
is apparently digitally adding masks to photos of massless people on disney

00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:18.480
world rides the idea was to both encourage compliance and allow riders

00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:22.480
who are following the rules to still buy a photo why don't you just tell them to

00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:25.599
put on a mask disney has reportedly seized the

00:03:24.239 --> 00:03:33.360
practice but the real question is when they're going to stop over charging for cheesy potatoes oh cheesy potatoes for

00:03:31.040 --> 00:03:37.760
cheesy photos of people on the log ride i'm guessing never

00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:42.319
especially the potatoes dang dang cheesy boys cd projekt red has

00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:47.200
promised that several patches will be rolling out for console cyberpunk players over the next few months with

00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:50.080
the next round to come within a week they're also offering refunds for

00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:56.400
console customers if you just don't want to wait and you would rather use your money on something else like those

00:03:52.879 --> 00:04:00.159
non-existing new consoles gpus and cpus

00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:00.159
you should get an LTT desk pad instead

00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:07.040
riley dang it man if you're like me and tried to access

00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:12.000
google's main services this morning such as youtube gmail google search itself

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:16.079
google sheets whatever you might have only came across error messages the

00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:19.359
outage affected large swaths of europe and north america for a little less than

00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:22.800
an hour and apparently even nest thermostats weren't spared so hopefully

00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:26.960
your house didn't turn into some kind of weird sauna today it did that might be

00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:31.440
kind of fun it was great very relaxing i'm sure the baby loved it

00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:35.120
speaking of steam the game platform made headlines earlier this year for setting

00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:39.759
a record for the most concurrent players and now it's happened again as nearly 25

00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:43.840
million players were online at once over the weekend no doubt the pandemic and

00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:46.880
the launch of cyberpunk help this number i mean you count as being online even if

00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:51.199
your system runs cyberpunk like a slideshow right still entertaining oh

00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:54.080
totally and although tons of electronics manufacturing and supply chains have

00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:58.800
been disrupted by the aforementioned pandemic the next iphone should be

00:04:55.919 --> 00:05:02.639
released on time that is in september of next year apple fans were concerned

00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:07.039
considering the delayed iphone 12 launch and limited supply but analyst ming chi

00:05:04.960 --> 00:05:12.400
kuo doesn't foresee a similar situation for the iphone 13. how lucky

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:16.000
and that's our show so come back on wednesday for more tech news and don't

00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:19.919
worry the show won't be delayed to thursday you say that now
