where do i get my tech news that's easy TechLinked of course
specs for what could be Intel's 9th gen mainstream processors have leaked from
chinese site kuliler but are they cool aller we'll see we got
numbers for the eight core core i9 9900k
that's a lot of nines the eight core core i7 9700k and the six core core i5
9600k the latter of which had already been spotted on Intel's database with a
4.5 gigahertz boost clock instead of 4.6 as listed in this leak the other
interesting thing about this leak is the core i7 appears to be without hyper
threading only the core i9 has 16 threads for its eight cores for a long
time the flagship desktop i7 has had hyper threading and the i7 8700k its
predecessor has six cores and 12 threads now okay
come on before you get your capris in a twist we don't know what kind of performance these chips will get or even
whether these numbers are accurate until these chips launch later this year we
don't even know whether this reality is real or a simulation like papa musk says
so keep calm and carry on with the tech news after admitting there was an issue
with its 2018 core i9 macbook pro overheating and limiting performance
also known as thermal throttling fyi apple has released a fix the company
said there was a missing digital key in the firmware for the thermal management
system which is remedied in the latest macOS high sierra update the original
whistleblower for the problem youtuber dave lee has given the update his sort
of blessing according to his test the core i9 machine now renders slightly
faster in normal conditions than it did when he stuck it in the freezer before
the patch so that's great but the question still lingers how the heck did
apple not encounter this problem during testing the people buying your 7 000
laptop are professionals but it seemed like the only thing apple made sure
worked properly was the fan favorite touch bar which james
would never buy a laptop without at this point
it's very useful i'm just gonna let the silence hang
i love the touch bar too and google kicked off its cloud next
conference in san francisco yesterday with a bunch of machine learning and ai
announcements auto ml vision the company's machine learning tool for
image and object recognition is now in public beta and auto ml tools for
natural language and translation are being tested with select companies now
they're also working on an ai customer service agent called contact center ai
very creative there which sounds like it's google duplex for companies aside
from the ai stuff though google is also releasing two versions of a usb
two-factor authentication dongle called the titan security key one is a normal
usb key the other is a bluetooth low energy fob is google releasing a bunch
of ai programs and two factor keys at the same time to prevent a situation
where said ais can't become super intelligent and hack us because they
don't have arms to hold usb keys seems likely to me what do i know i'm
just a low energy bluetooth spot
that's that's a bit of an insult to call somebody you low energy bluetooth fob
what's what do you call a fob then if it's not a fob are you calling me
no i'm not talking about you dennis oh god it's time for quick bits brought to
you by an electronics retailer that is currently in good operation memory
express if you're looking to buy electronics in canada let me tell you
these guys are good memory express has rigorous customer care with 15 day
returns and exchanges so canadians can feel good about their electronics and
themselves plus with their uber price beat guaranteed they'll beat any
authorized canadian retailer's price by 10 of the difference both in store and
online click the link below for all the details there's always more google news
there always more google news when you want it
or when you don't it's time for
there's always more google news if you're using youtube's more modern
redesign the site loads a lot slower on edge safari or firefox than google's own
chrome browser because of an API specific to chrome according to
mozilla's chris peterson which would be less of a big deal if google wasn't
being fined billions of dollars already for anti-competitive practices there are
some things you can do to speed up those other browsers though so check the news sources for the info wait was that
mozilla guy's name chris ederson
crispy ederson that's pretty good hello nice to meet
you i'm crispy ederson what chris peterson but on the plus side the latest
build of chrome will show any site that hasn't enabled https did i say that
right https as not secure hopefully
pushing companies to make sure their websites comply with a safety protocol
so that's the last google story i swear google is i mean valve is updating the
chat feature of steam to look more like discord with group chats inline media
support and more but will they be able to have the same fun tongue-in-cheek
attitude as discord no because they've lost their heart
that was sincere valve makes me sad more fake meat burgers for everyone yeah
the fda has given the ok to the key ingredient heem in impossible foods
non-meat burger that tastes like meat it's already available all over the u.s
and hong kong though so it's good to know everyone hasn't been poisoning
themselves in the meantime including dennis
he already tried it and he's not dead yet so unfortunately hey
i mean that i just thought it worked NVIDIA uk is bundling 120 Gigabyte
kingston ssds with select graphics cards which really says how cheap ssds have
become soon we'll just be like hey got a 240.
nah go fish because they're
that's really good but not if these researchers have their way scientists at
the university of alberta canada have created the most dense solid-state
memory ever exceeding the capacities of hard drives by 1 000 times they do it by
manipulating individual atoms actually no that would help the
whole SSD situation i said it wouldn't help but it would make them cheaper so
you know what never mind it's time to end this TechLinked already like dislike subscribe retweet favorite
upvote down vote whatever you kids do on the internet these days i'm grumpy i'm
not i just wrote that alberta who knew
who knew alberta knew how to use computers that's rude
that's rude of canada yeah sort of sorry texas i was
born at edmonton so love you guys
