nature tasty oh my gosh spit that out james you
no you did it i'm a vegetarian mother valve has given developers access to the
beta for steam cloud play it's unclear exactly what this new service will look
like for consumers but here's what we know steam cloudplay can apparently
integrate cloud streaming services into your steam library allowing you to
launch services like GeForce now from steam
okay but why would you want to do that instead of just using GeForce now
regularly or streaming from your own pc using steam remote play well the key
difference here seems to be that steam cloud play could involve streaming games
not from your own pc or NVIDIA servers but from servers hosted by valve why do
i care it also looks like steam cloud play integration could help services
like GeForce now expand their library of supported games that would be nice if
it's super easy for publishers to opt in via steam's platform the news comes just
as GeForce now is actually getting some aaa games from ubisoft back on the
platform through the epic game store but let's be real here guys no one owns
those games on egs we all just claimed the free games
thank you for tonight i'm not gonna buy it if i don't have to okay we're gonna
talk about trump and twitter now okay but you gotta keep it chill okay let's
all just this week has seen a tense confrontation
between twitter and u.s president donald trump over a number of his tweets it
started on tuesday when twitter pinned a fact-checking link to one of trump's
tweets in which he claimed that mail-in ballots will lead to election fraud then
on thursday trump signed an executive order directing the fcc and ftc to
investigate whether new regulations could be placed on social media giants
like twitter and facebook which would effectively turn them into publishers
which are liable and can be sued for the content they host instead of merely
platforms which are not liable for a set content currently twitter and facebook
are protected from liability by section 230 of the communications decency act
there's plants eye mouth which both trump and joe biden want to
overturn it's unclear what an order like this would accomplish for trump as
twitter might be more incentivized to remove sensitive tweets if they are
liable for hosting certain content which is the very thing that prompted this
whole debacle in the first place how ironic i don't get it while twitter is
going head-to-head with the president mark zuckerberg apparently wants to just
stay out of it you know robots they
don't like drama zuckerberg said in an interview that facebook shouldn't be the
arbiter of truth even though the platform has been fact-checking posts
about the american election and covet 19 pandemic we'll have to wait and see what
the future of social media looks like but on the bright side at least you can
now schedule tweets on desktop again again no now oh
well later yeah the future now for some lighter news hp has unveiled the reverb
g2 headset for desktop powered vr and it might have just knocked the index out of
the best vr headset thrown it's 5.99 us
with a per eye resolution of 2160 by 2160 that's a square the indexes panels
are just 1440p it's got a 90 hertz refresh rate and a field of view around
114 degrees although field of view is dependent upon a number of factors so
it's hard to describe with a single number riley everybody knows that
but valve apparently isn't scared of the headset's success they actually worked
with hp to develop and you can see that in the g2 speakers which looked like
they were taken right off an index microsoft also helped hp they developed
the unit's new Windows mixed reality controllers which come with the headset
the reverb g2 uses inside out tracking no base stations required so we'll have
to see whether Linus looks just as silly playing beat saber wearing this thing
instead of the index now it's time for the quick bits brought to you by xsplit
v cam all the letters it can remove replace and blur your streaming
background without a green screen and it works with any webcam damn it anyone so
there's no need for complicated lighting setups this isn't film school it's the
internet gosh darn it you can customize the background to anything you want and
it works with other xsplit broadcast tools and even messaging apps like slack
hangouts skype and more xsplit promises 24 7 support and lifetime updates for as
little as 39.95 for a lifetime license
or 9.95 for three months that's three bucks a month that's like a coffee or a
flapjack you could also use code Linus tech tips to get 10 off so do that at
the link below this is like free
in america quick this with syrup hey did you buy this 370 usb
stick that promises to protect you from 5g radiation
well i'm sorry you're an idiot no refunds you see it doesn't actually use
quantum holographic catalyzer technology for the balance and harmonization of the
harmful effects of imbalanced electrical radiation at all it doesn't do anything
because it's a 128 megabyte megabyte usb
key with a sticker on it and you should have known
shame on you and your country which poorly educated you and the
companies in your country that let you be in a filter bubble samsung has
officially unveiled a new version of the galaxy book s featuring an Intel
lakefield processor instead of the qualcomm 8cx armchip set if it's good
the first lakefield laptop could prove ARM doesn't have a place in the future
of thinning lights after all and Intel really needs a wood right now so come on
guys look into your hearts i think i saw them last night outside a bar
just sitting on the curb crying into their budweiser and they're not supposed
to bring the glasses outside NVIDIA has launched quadro experience a Windows app
that fulfills many of the same functions for pcs running quadro graphics cards as
the GeForce experience app does for systems with gaming focused GeForce
cards so i guess you're not going to download it either users can record 4k
footage get driver updates and optimize games because don't forget you can run
games on a quadro two you're just if you do that well
you're just spending a lot more to do that russians that's how hillary clinton says
it the russians are hacking our emails the nsa says the division of the russian
military code named sandworm very dune has been attacking email servers that
run the exam mail transfer agent it's an agent which is used in both private and
government organizations hopefully this naming and shaming will get it managers
to issue patches but you know the most effective way to kill a sound worm what
is it spoilers
how do you kill it i can't even respond to that without spoilers
and an app by yamaha called remote shearer will let sports
fans who are watching matches from home connect to giant
speakers in the stadium so they can cheer on their teams from afar
but the players won't hear your actual voice fans will choose from a preset
selection of cheers boos and rhythmic claps that's probably for the best i was gonna
say this is a recipe for the biggest zoom bomb ever this is so stupid come on
ref like if there's not a good turnout the people on the sound board are just like
just turn it up anyways they're like they're cheering they really like you that's enough of
those nonsense come back on monday for more tech news and maybe we'll have
a building we'll have to survive on plants don't do it james
how do you feel i'm going prickly leaf exclusive this is actually the best leaf
i've eaten
