well the tech news is coming and it don't stop coming clogging up the pipes
making me fix the plumbing i rewrote all the lyrics to be about
tech news so this is going to take a while guys while we're waiting for the Radeon
rx6000 series to launch AMD has announced a different kind of powerful
GPU the instinct mi100 no it's not a gaming card but it
is the first GPU with the company's compute-oriented cdna architecture it's
like rdna but with a c for compute you knew that dennis
it's obvious AMD claims the mi 100 can reach up to
11.5 teraflops of peak fp64 throughput
which is three times better than its predecessor the mi 50 and it's
apparently the first GPU ever to achieve more than 10 teraflops in fp64 but if
you're not interested in a card that's primarily designed to solve differential
equations that's understandable AMD's gaming focus Radeon rx 6800 will be
launching this week and it can apparently be overclocked to 2.5
gigahertz meaning it could beat the 2080 ti even better
so get excited gamers lock and load party up
it's shooting time apple really talked up the performance of its max powered by
the new m1 chip last week and they're pretty wild claims that say the macbook
air is faster than 98 of pc laptops has
really gotten the online discussion rolling to say it kindly well leaked
benchmarks may be clarifying the situation a bit it seems like the m1
does perform very well compared to Intel based macs even when running x86 apps
through apple's rosetta 2 emulation however compared to pcs it's a bit of a
different story when compared to a pc running a ryzen 5 3600x and a laptop
with a ryzen 7 4800 hs the m1 performs
about half as well according to cinebench results using a new version
with support for apple's new chip as usual we should probably wait for the
good legit benchmarks from reviewers like Linus tech tips i hear they do this
stuff pretty well although i've tried to offer my services
and they aren't returning my calls apple also rolled out its newest version of
macOS called big sur last week which seemed to have sparked a different
discussion about apple's commitment to privacy the rush of people trying to
download big sur crashed apple's gatekeeper technology which sends
identifiers for each program you run to apple servers suddenly people were
talking about how this means that apple can tell exactly what you're running
when you run it but today apple responded with claims that they only
checked verify if an app contains malware they don't combine those checks
with user identifying information apple says they'll also be stepping up
encryption for these kind of checks and will let users opt out in the future
well sounds like they've got that issue sorted although they're still dealing
with a lawsuit in europe over their use of an identifying marker for advertisers
being built into iphones and the fact that macOS big sur is still crashing
older macbooks but hey you know that uh that sand blasted aluminum is um
feels nice now it's time for quick bits brought to you by the manscape

down they're prepping the rtx 3060 ti to release in january and if leaked slides
are any indication it's gonna be a good one matching the rtx 2080 super in
performance which is the card i just got a few months ago and now i'm sad NVIDIA
also announced their server-focused a100 GPU will get a memory upgrade and will
be available in the beastly dgx station a100 a system with up to 320 gigabytes
of GPU memory again not for gamers
unless your game is laying the groundwork for a humanity destroying ai
it's great for that one runs like a dream spacex already took two astronauts to
the international space station but on sunday the company launched the first
fully crewed flight of its crew dragon spacecraft carrying four astronauts into
orbit they're five i should say they brought baby yoda

adorable electric vehicle charging stations that are part of electrify
america's network will soon get an automatic payment feature just like
tesla's you just plug in your car and it handles authentication and billing
compatible vehicles include the 2021 porsche take-hands lucid airs and ford
mustang mock ease but do any of those companies have eccentric founders that
downplay the covet pandemic then what's the point i'll tell you what

recalling about 70 000 of the 2017 to 2019 models after a series of instances
where batteries malfunctioned and even caught fire huh
