WEBVTT

00:00:06.560 --> 00:00:09.440
oh that's me

00:00:10.719 --> 00:00:18.000
i have to i have to come back i have to come back into to do the hosting though

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:21.760
after much leaking AMD's Radeon rx 590 is official and reviews are out except

00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:27.359
for Linus's review it'll be up on the weekend you can't rush art got em

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:31.199
got Linus yeah anyways for the 590 AMD is squeezing as

00:00:29.599 --> 00:00:34.719
much as they can out of their more than two-year-old polaris architecture

00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:39.120
they've shrunk the process used for the GPU to 12 nanometer from 14 nanometer

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:43.360
and clocked it higher which appears to boost its performance to about 12

00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:47.840
percent faster than the rx 580 and nine percent faster than the reference gtx

00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:53.440
1060 although you could likely find overclocked 1060s that break that rule

00:00:50.239 --> 00:00:55.760
at an msrp of 280 usd it's comfortably

00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:59.199
positioned between the gtx 1060 and 1070. a niche that's all the more

00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:03.600
important given NVIDIA's lack of announcements concerning their mid-range

00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:09.280
20 series gpus and it's being bundled with devil may cry 5 the division 2 and

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:11.360
resident evil 2 so the 590 apparently is

00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:16.000
decent let's cross our fingers that this is the last time we see polaris however

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:22.240
which is not something you'd hear coming out of a sailor's mouth that's for sure

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:26.960
that's your joke that's it's polaris that's brutal speaking of 20 series gpus

00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:32.479
NVIDIA has finally partially identified what could have caused all those issues

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:34.400
reported by rtx 2080 ti owners in a tiny

00:01:32.479 --> 00:01:38.079
blog post on the GeForce forums a moderator known as tim

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:41.680
at NVIDIA said that limited test escapes from

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:45.920
early boards caused the issues some customers have experienced which

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:50.560
included black screens system crashes and artifacting as bits and pieces on

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:54.720
the Linus tech tips forums explains test escapes refer to parts of the graphics

00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:58.479
card's pcb that are tested off-site so if there's a problem with them it might

00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:02.320
not become apparent until after launch that's still

00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:05.439
pretty vague but at least NVIDIA has identified that it's an early batch of

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:09.759
the cards that are experiencing problems so hopefully later batches will be fine

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:12.800
addressing this issue won't fix the fact that enabling ray tracing tanks

00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:17.920
performance by two or three times but hey at least they won't catch on fire right

00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:21.599
you gotta take the small victories i'm just disappointed that guy's twitter

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:26.640
handle isn't tim vidya tim vidya swing and i missed him that

00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:31.840
was a good one get him next time tim and speaking of fire facebook is embroiled

00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:35.120
in a scandal do you like that one that's good yeah

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:38.879
you like that one yeah you didn't like polaris keep it going it's the north

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:42.720
star so the new york times released a report accusing facebook of a couple key

00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:46.640
things that they knew about russian interference in the u.s election as

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:50.640
early as spring 2016 and that they hired the pr firm definers public affairs to

00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:54.640
conduct a campaign that would shift the public's anger away from facebook's

00:02:52.400 --> 00:03:00.000
mistakes and towards their competitors perhaps in not quite so legal ways

00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:03.440
facebook ceo mark zuckerberg responded to the report by of course denying any

00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:08.239
knowledge of russian interference that early and also denying that he or ceo

00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:12.720
sheryl sandberg even knew that the pr firm was hired at all facebook promptly

00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:16.400
fired the firm following the new york times report the story has renewed calls

00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:20.319
for facebook to undergo some sort of regulation from washington and this new

00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:24.560
crisis is apparently so intense that the company's top lawyer colin stretch was

00:03:22.959 --> 00:03:29.360
called off his resignation from the company to help sort things out his

00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:30.480
name's funny yeah it's a funny name

00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:34.959
that's the end of that story it's a funny name see ya speaking of tweets

00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:40.239
it's time for quick beats brought to you today by the ergodox 76 hot docs

00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:45.120
mechanical keyboard kit what the heck is that get out of here i use this keyboard so

00:03:42.959 --> 00:03:49.200
i'm going to read this ad it's an ergonomic keyboard it's split in

00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:53.120
two and sometimes you can get this kit that makes it tilty which is what i have

00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:56.560
human hands just aren't meant to sit the way they do on a normal keyboard because

00:03:54.640 --> 00:04:01.040
you get your wrists all like this and your hands all like that it's no good

00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:04.239
but this configuration lets you lets your hands rest at a more natural angle

00:04:02.959 --> 00:04:08.000
and opens up your chest reducing discomfort and fatigue or fatty gay if

00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:11.840
you're french this keyboard has changed my life in innumerable ways the best one

00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:16.639
is that no one else knows how to use my keyboard because i have this really weird configuration that with my thumbs

thanks james um okay well i guess it's time for quick bits uh

00:04:39.919 --> 00:04:45.440
google pixel fans were disappointed after we didn't see a pixel 3 light at

00:04:43.840 --> 00:04:49.360
google's event last month after it was heavily rumored but now photos of what

00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:53.680
looks like a pixel 3 light have been posted by russian tech blog rosettekid i

00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:57.840
don't think that's how you say it which was also responsible for a ton of legit

00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:02.960
pixel 3 leaks prior to the launch of that phone it looks like a smaller pixel

00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:04.720
3 with a headphone jack and a snapdragon

00:05:02.960 --> 00:05:07.520
670 inside oh

00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:11.360
a bunch of pixel phone i don't want to get my hopes up that this is real

00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:16.240
i've been hurt before by james a techcrunch report revealed that a

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:20.960
massive database of text messages which included two-factor authentication codes

00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:24.880
password reset links and more have been leaked as a result of being stored on a

00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:28.240
server with no password by a company called

00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:31.440
vovox and that's why you use an authenticator app seriously guys use

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:35.039
lastpass or google authenticator or something do it

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:38.240
after the episode verizon has sort of addressed the lack of dual sim card

00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:42.560
functionality in north american phones by launching the my numbers app which

00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:46.479
lets you put as many as four extra phone numbers on your existing sim it's not

00:05:44.960 --> 00:05:50.560
quite the same as having two distinct cards which can be on different carriers

00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:54.800
and plans but it's a start sony is not going to e3

00:05:53.520 --> 00:06:00.400
meaning we won't be seeing any playstation 5 announcements at one of the game industry's biggest trade shows

00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:04.639
they're also skipping their playstation experience event guess they don't have

00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:08.800
much to say microsoft on the other hand is still going although they pretty much

00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:14.400
make big announcements about anything halo's getting an update to fix a bug

00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.400
better hold a news conference

00:06:15.280 --> 00:06:20.160
halo yeah

00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:27.520
and sharp has unveiled a phone with not one notch but two

00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:30.720
yes the aquos r2 compact has a camera

00:06:27.520 --> 00:06:32.560
notch at the top and a home button notch

00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:36.960
at the bottom they not understand the phone industry

00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:39.520
as a whole is trying to get rid of the notch

00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:44.080
they thought it was like a fun game it's like ooh we're doing notches cool

00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:49.919
i get it it's like this right

00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:51.600
