we're on day four of TechLink CES coverage but today was only officially
day one of CES so what everything before now is just a warm-up
well at this rate I'm gonna be hotter than a 40 90. at their event AMD
introduced some tasty new CPUs but also foreshadow the dark AI future for
Windows we'll start with the bright stuff though the successor to the popular ryzen 7 5800 x3d gaming CPU has
been announced actually it has three successors one with eight cores one with
12 and one with a whopping 16. based on
the launch of the 5800x3d I cannot wait for these things to come out Crush
absolutely everything else in gaming benchmarks and be permanently sold out
everywhere AMD also unveiled their ryzen 7000 mobile CPU lineup and announced
that their new 7040 Series has a
dedicated AI engine called ryzen AI wow
Lisa Sue says that this engine is 20 better than Apple's M2 engine
um are we talking cars or chips at this point anyway she proved the only way
that tech companies know how to Market is using colorful graphs covered in
vague statements with some kind of relationship with cars I mean remember
when Intel came up with I3 i5 and i7
that's just BMW Sue then invited
Microsoft executive Panos Penang onto the stage who stated that AI is going to
reinvent how you do everything on Windows it's worth noting by the way
that open AI is in an exclusive Computing relationship with Microsoft
which could mean chat GPT embedded in
Windows 11 and is this in TechLinked yet they've already announced that it's
going to be built into Bing we talked about that yesterday wild
right anyway that could be bad news for students in New York City since they
have been banned from using the chat bot I hope they like Chromebooks because
Public Schools can't afford Apple's prices Sony CES announcements leaned
into the unconventional this year with the reveal of project Leonardo a
customizable controller to make PlayStation 5 gaming more accessible in
a blog post Sie senior vice president hideaki nishino
good said that accessibility is an important topic to us at PlayStation
which is why of course they waited more than four years after Microsoft released
their adaptive controller to do something about it there were more Revelations to be had though as Sony
also revealed the name of the electric vehicle car brand that they created in
cooperation with Honda a Fila because at
the heart of Mobility is the word feel I actually didn't make that up that is a
direct quote from the presentation and not some sort of cars fan fiction
written by Nicholas Sparks you know I thought it was sort of poking fun at
Nintendo about the whole Chris Pratt Mario thing I feel like I'm making a car
of course Sony knows what everyone really came to see es for movie
announcements as Sony announced a Gran Turismo movie being directed by District
9 Creator Neil blomkampf and featuring actors like David Harbaugh or David and
or Orlando Bloom he's back I mean I
would have liked to see a demo of the psvr 2 instead of a movie announcement
at CES but hey Sony you do you and
Lenovo decided to info dump harder than a Kojima video game this year the
company decided to enter the e-ink space with their upcoming smart paper tablet
but wait if you presumably give them even more money for a different e-ink
screen it will come with a free laptop because the e-ink tablet is attached to
the laptop it's called the thinkbook plus twist and the twist is that the
e-ink screen is on the back of the main OLED display with a Twist hinge to allow
you to Boom twist swap between his two screens and if you like that thing you
Gonna Love lenovo's new yoga book 9i whose twin 13-inch displays are OLED
this time around in a surprising break from dual screen products Lenovo also
announced project Kronos essentially a set-top box that allows for motion
capture without any physical apparatus that sounds an awful lot like the Xbox
Connect is this Deja Vu and the remnants
of Motorola who were bought by Lenovo are making a business-oriented think
phone with apparently better security and productivity which isn't that just
BlackBerry that doesn't sound that original Lenovo

elevator but I see them right over there
oh I knew they were going to get me on that elevator somehow facial recognition
allegedly put an innocent man behind bars Randall Reed was pulled over by
police and told that he was wanted for a robbery in Louisiana a state he had
never even been to Reed happens to be
black which has been known to affect the accuracy of facial recognition software
in the computer's defense apparently not even the police officers noticed the
40-pound weight difference between Reed and the actual suspect which is yet
another example of why facial recognition is a potentially dangerous
technology we need like whole body recognition yeah I mean that's clearly
not my penis in other news keeping your PlayStation 5 upright may damage your
console According to some console repairers the liquid metal thermal
interface material that is used to cool the Apu can leak around the processor
and kill some components YouTuber the coder showed the issue would not occur
had Sony applied a conformal coding around the Apu but I mean how could they
have had time for that when they were working on Gran Turismo the movie
if only we could have told them that this was going to happen haha
magsafe style technology is coming to Android phones according to the
specifications for the upcoming G2 charging standard the new tech will keep
devices aligned with charging pads using magnets just like Apple's solution this
marks the second time I can remember where Android took an idea from Apple
the first being when they removed the audio jack so I guess this is what it
feels like when they steal a good idea it's fuzzy yesterday AMD finally
admitted that faulty heat sinks are causing massive Junction temperatures on
their 7900 XTX graphics cards in an official statement the company said they
believe this to be the cause of the thermal throttling and they are
committed to solving the issue I suppose that after the public backlash that they
got for claiming that 110 degree temperatures were normal and then the
public backlash they got over their refusal to accept returns on the faulty
cards not to mention the multiple independent investigators doing their
job for them AMD proactively took action to humbly admit their mistake and Apple
has quietly implemented a new digital narration feature for its audiobooks to
allow Publishers to use one of two AI voices to read their books aloud to
customers Apple claims that the tool is meant to promote independently published
authors but some are fearful for the future of the narration industry first
AI came for the artists and I said nothing because I was not an AI artist
then it came for the programmers and I said nothing because I'm not a
programmer and and now not even LeVar Burton is safe anymore think of Morgan
Freeman and think of tomorrow's Tech news
because it's going to be real weird you thought the smart device that analyzes
your urine was weird in yesterday's episode just you wait
