welcome to techlate the show where we tell you which PC components are the
most flammable it's very important that you watch reports have surfaced of ryzen
x3d series CPUs burning and dying allowing team red to compete with Team
Green in a market that no one asked for the crispiest hardware the story blew up
when user speed rookie showed his lightly toasted ASUS board and 7800 X 3D
processor on Reddit overclocker dur Bauer has had some experience with
frying a 7950 x3d chip and he apparently put that knowledge to use discussing pin
analysis hypotheses with Igor of Igor's
lab Igor and Co speculate that and who saw this coming the pins that got crispy
on the motherboard and CPU were the ones that Supply power to the CPU cores of
course I know I already referenced the 4090 but
I'm beginning to get deja vu
MSI decided to address the issue by issuing firmware updates for their am5
boards that further lock down the voltage controls for x3d chips by only
allowing negative voltage offsets stay tuned for more investigation though
because apparently a certain Tech Messiah got their hands on speed rookies
busted Hardware no not Jacob Steve from Gamer's Nexus although
I've never seen Jacob and Steve in the same room it's a conspiracy the latest
Google Hardware leak is out and this time it's the pixel fold a video is
making the rounds on Twitter showing the Phablet in action bending like the love
child of David Beckham and Keira Knightley's character from the film Bend
It Like Beckham a perfect match Android police called it the most comprehensive
pixel fold leak yet and that is true if
you completely neglect front page text leak from three days ago in the YouTube
channels video host John Prosser laid out every alleged spec of the upcoming
device according to John Google is claiming a Beyond 24-hour battery life
with up to 72 hours if you use Extreme
battery saver that's crazy which I do wow though I don't think that would
include using the foldable screen since it's a 7.6 inch 6x5 aspect ratio OLED
John also claims Google will be including pixel watches with full
pre-orders so it sounds like Google really wants a win but if the company
really wants to move product they need two things two things Sarah McLaughlin
and crying puppies how to really pull some Heartstrings
tears my eye just thinking about it just a dollar a day you can save a
multinational corporation by buying
their product please Google needs your help and apple is trying their best to
come up with a use case for their AR VR headset according to Mark German aka the
early girm gets the bird the multi-trillion dollar fruit is hoping
that by making its headset capable of doing more things more people will want
to spend three thousand dollars on it it just appears right in your wallet the
headset will supposedly run hundreds of thousands of iPad apps at launch which
is tremendous news for people who wish they could spend six times more money
than a normal iPad so they can have one that straps to their face sold but
Gamers Rejoice for you will be able to play top tier games as long as they're
compatible with Apple's other devices man the trains and subway surface will
jump right out at you for three thousand dollars they better hit me I better fuel
the trains but I hope you only like short gaming sessions because the
headset's external battery will likely only provide two hours of usage not only
that but the battery pack will have a non-detachable proprietary connection
cable ah proprietary cool awesome they
wouldn't want you to have fun using somebody else's batteries or devices
Apple would rather you had no fun at all
it's their favorite wow uh Jacob thanks for this Bud now
it's time for quick bits brought to you by ground news you know I used to think
the teas and internet stood for totally true 10 out of 10 times but did you know
there's contradictory information online and I don't want to get caught in an echo chamber I have sensitive ears
that's where ground news comes in they present you with several articles and
sources for each story and break down the biases of the reporting Outlets you
can find out who owns different news sites to have a fuller grasp of where
their opinions may come from take the AI generated Drake and the weekend song as
an example be the tdubs it slaps but ground news will help you break down who
is reporting on that topic so you can ask yourself why and use that
information to help you parse future articles by the same sites to help this
independent platform bring media transparency to the Forefront go to
ground.news slash TechLinked or click the link in the description below I'm
gonna level with you folks I wasn't in the sponsor spot cause I got fired they
said I could get my job back though if I did well on the quick bits it seems AMD
might be skipping some GPU series launches and goes straight from the RX
7900 to the 70 600. according to Igor's
lab some of AMD's exclusive board Partners will show Finnish 7600 cards at
computex in June while no word has been given on when or if a 7 800 or 7700 will
be launched it's certainly difficult for mid-range gpus to compete with the used
Market who could have seen the mining crash coming we never even got to the
Moon less than a month after sun setting
Legacy verification Twitter is giving check marks to some celebrities whether
they like it or not the check marks still say the person is subscribed to
Twitter blue though which clearly isn't the case for re-verified figures like
Kobe Bryant Michael Jackson and Anthony Bourdain if only because they are all
very dead micro verification Twitter has
also been non-consensually verifying fraudulent accounts such as an account
posing as a Sudanese paramilitary group and a fake Disney Junior UK account
that's intimately familiar with the definition of hard R this could possibly
get Elon in legal trouble for false endorsement a risk that's never seemed
to really bother Elon because he's got his Martian Escape flight booked he's
going to the Moon he's going past the Moon to Mars baby blizzard staff have
been leaving the company in large enough numbers that the company has had to create crisis maps to decide what can
and cannot be shipped according to two prominent employees on Twitter
apparently the company's return to in-office work and other work culture
policies might have driven the dev Exodus I might even call it the dexedus
if I was feeling silly and I am in response blizzard said crisis maps
are not a team practice for World of Warcraft which is not exactly denying
that they've been doing them now running away from a bear is not generally
something I practice either but I doubt that I try going for a handshake first
if you get what I'm saying Snapchat has
rolled out their new AI chat bot to all users and has been hammered with one
star reviews as a result the AI chat bot sits pinned at the top of user feeds and
apparently it's a gaslighting little creep the AI will casually reference
users locations or birth months then insist that it doesn't have access to
their personal data the bot used to be a paid feature but now that it's been
rolled out to everyone it's only possible to remove it with a Snapchat
Plus subscription like your friend who's always asking for money give me five
dollars and I'll go away all right no no
I need that five bucks and the company augmental have announced that they are
making a wearable track pad that you control with your tongue
finally a way to increase your skills on PC and in bed it's called the mouth pad
and it's designed to allow people with quadriplegia to control electronic
devices like iOS and Android devices computers and even vibrators because
everyone should be allowed to get their consensual freak on if I own a new how
good question I don't want it for that reason I'm out and you should allow
yourself to come back on Wednesday for more Tech news did I do it can I have my
job can I have my job back can I go back to work please guys please
we'll get back to you
