whoa you guys wanted the tech Blues that's not this show
yeah yeah it's the next Studio over woke up this morning to wanted some tech Sony
is buying game developer Bungie who could have seen this coming the studio
behind the original Halo as well as the destiny franchise for 3.6 billion
dollars that's way less than what Microsoft paid for Activision this is
hardly a flex they say though that Bungie will remain an independent
subsidiary with Bungie CEO Pete Parsons pledging that their future games will
not be PlayStation exclusives the deal comes right on the heels of Microsoft's
purchase of Activision Blizzard with the irony of Xbox being the house that Halo
built being lost on absolutely no one now Bungie will be joining the Sony
interactive entertainment family which already includes Insomniac Games Naughty
Dog Gorilla Games Sucker Punch Productions and blue point games to name
a few Bungie says it's entering a new era focused on global multimedia
entertainment not just game game so maybe Destiny animated series Allah
arcane anyone I don't really want that but Arcane was pretty good do people
care about Destiny in that way I think so did anyone care about League of
Legends in that way yes be on the lookout for faster connectivity the next
time you're at a U.S airport the FAA has announced they've come to an agreement
with Telecom Giants Verizon and at T for
placing c-band 5G at airports huzzah
although it sounds like a no-brainer especially considering how clogged both
cell and Wi-Fi networks can get at busy airports the move was actually a long
time coming as the FAA was concerned about safety that's what they do that's
so weird it wanted to ensure the 5G bands wouldn't interfere with important
aircraft systems such as altimeters and
wings Sky chairs flaps the telcos
countered however that many other countries already have 5G at their
airports without any accidents happening it's unclear as to when exactly we'll
see the first 5G towers near airports in the U.S but if you're worried about
catching the 5G yourself don't worry you already have to be vaccinated to fly
internationally and the signal is amazing iPhone owners should see a
couple of interesting updates in iOS 15.4 one is a pretty big Quality of Life
Enhancement face ID will now work even if you're wearing a face mask I thought
they already had that like an anonymous mask
put them up unlock your phones although
this feature was kind of sort of present for a while you had to also have an
unlocked Apple watch to use as a key ah there you go meaning iPhone users
without the expensive watch add-on were left out in the cold no technology plebs
Additionally the OS update will bring a new batch of emoji one of which is a
face that's smiling as it literally melts literally I'm not getting into
this again which would be pretty on brand for most of us these days that's
true the update should officially roll out sometime later this year hopefully
no one will care because we won't be wearing masks
yeah but it's an emoji so it's not literally melting it's a it's depicting

gonna tell you what they are but James knows one of the most punishing games
you can buy for your PC might be getting a little easier to run according to the
head of Microsoft Flight Simulator the game will be getting dlss support in
DirectX 12 sometime this year of course you'll need an NVIDIA RTX GPU to take
advantage of it but if you're lucky enough to have one you could have first
class visual quality without coach level frame rates I like this oh or seat mates
they're even worse faster your seatbelt when you're in when you're in with like
the people sitting I get the armrest if you're in the middle you get both
armrests in November Tesla started allowing owners of non-tesla electric
vehicles to use its supercharger stations in the Netherlands but that's
now being expanded to France and Norway
you have to live in one of these countries or in Germany or Belgium to
take advantage of the service and you'll also pay some additional fees compared
to Tesla drivers they eventually hope to open all superchargers to third-party
EVS though so Tesla drivers will only be able to smugly nod to each other for so
long before the plebs come in I'm sure they'll still do
that it looks like cyberpunk 2077 is very close to launching on next-gen
consoles the current release is written for previous gen machines and of course
the PC version took a notoriously lengthy time to release and was still
plagued with bugs so console Gamers have had quite a long wait for the next gen
version the news comes as the game is now listed on the back end of the
PlayStation store and it's believed we'll see the game on the platform within a few weeks hopefully without a
boatload of glitches but odd fingers are not crossed for that one it's probably
gonna happen they're a hot mess I know PC components have been hard to come by
but please don't do what one Amazon warehouse manager did and steal them a
manager at Amazon's Charlotte Warehouse is in deep doo-doo yeah that's poop
after pleading guilty to stealing over a quarter million dollars in computer
parts and selling them to a wholesaler he's facing up to 20 years in the joint
so yeah please stick to getting your gpus through legal means which it's like
what who knows download a car yeah exactly but how do I know I don't know
if it's legal right now you're going away for a long time Best Buy could have
done some shady stuff and the next version of Chrome for Android looks like
it'll come with a new built-in safety feature for users it will now ask you if
you're sure about closing all your browser tabs the option to do so is
currently right next to a list of other options making it very easy to tap by
mistake no my fetishes so hopefully the powers that be at
Google will include the feature in the final release wait you don't want it but
we do want it close your tabs anyways I don't want to lose tabs
you don't need all those tabs on the phone who cares and it's time to close
all the tabs of today's news stories because this episode's over come back on
Wednesday for more Tech news timelines what time what dimension is this
hopefully I'll see you in the right one later
