00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,680
it's me colin bam my name's not colin

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:11,040
nobody cares what your name is okay okay i could be waiting in line for the dole

3
00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:13,040
but no am i trying to rap what the

4
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:18,560
is this intro i don't understand the joke Intel's arc alchemist GPU is in trouble

5
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:24,160
yet again according to german tech tester and commenter igor wallacek of

6
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:28,080
igor's lab Intel have run afoul of many of their branded partners causing

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,480
widespread discontent amongst the manufacturers the trouble supposedly

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:36,320
started when Intel told their add-in board partners to avoid selling the

9
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:40,559
cards on the retail market and instead focus on system integrators and oems

10
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:44,879
which carries a much lower profit margin to make matters worse Intel has also

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:49,120
reportedly refused to give a guaranteed price point for their arc a380 or

12
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:53,600
similar cards and their rma and returns policy are notably worse than those of

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:57,680
NVIDIA and AMD all of this has according to igor left the partners sitting on

14
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:01,520
massive amounts of inventory and with the price of graphics cards in sharp

15
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:05,040
decline it's getting less valuable by the day we've all been there evidently

16
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:09,760
nobody wants a plush banana for scale from ltteststore.com filled with real

17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:14,400
banana skin why'd i order 40 000 of them they smelled worse than you one aib

18
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:18,640
unknown manufacturers apparently cease production of art cards entirely citing

19
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,920
quality concerns while the partners who still are on board have reportedly

20
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:25,680
capped their marketing budget for these cards and won't be doing any big launch

21
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:29,360
day pushes so the arc launch parties could be less of an extravaganza and

22
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:34,079
more of a guy on the side of the freeway with a sign that says please buy my gpus

23
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:37,920
anything helps please please and in more Intel news the company has yet again

24
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:42,640
delayed its 3 nanometer meteor lake tile GPU order according to its manufacturer

25
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:46,720
tsmc it was announced last year that Intel will be outsourcing the production

26
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:52,079
of tgpu chipsets for their 14th generation processors to tsmc with

27
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:55,759
orders due in the second half of 2022. initially they delayed those orders

28
00:01:53,439 --> 00:02:00,880
until early 2023 and now they've delayed their order further to late 2023. with

29
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:04,960
Intel leaving them high and dry tsmc has been left with only one client for their

30
00:02:03,119 --> 00:02:09,599
three nanometer production line and that client is apple it's expected that

31
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:13,120
companies like AMD mediatek and qualcomm will eventually also be knocking on

32
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,800
their door for three nanometer but uptake will be slowed now that there's

33
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:20,720
limited capital to expand the production line ahead of those companies throwing

34
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:25,200
down some deposits if Intel fails to mass-produce their Intel 4 in-house and

35
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:28,720
on schedule the resulting outsourcing to tsmc could still offer a bit of

36
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:33,280
financial reprieve from the current situation however if they are successful

37
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:38,239
it could spell future order cancellations as Intel moves away from

38
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:44,319
outsourcing even further poor tsmc always a bridesmaid never a bride you're

39
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,000
always useless and barely employed

40
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:50,560
this is a new guy this is a new guy very funny twitter has

41
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:55,280
rejected elon musk's claims in court that he had legitimate reasons to back

42
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:59,920
out of a 44 billion deal to purchase the social media platform saying that musk

43
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:04,280
claims are contradicted by the evidence and common sense which we assume was

44
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:10,080
padded out letter by letter across all 127 pages of the filing that also states

45
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:15,680
that according to musk he was hoodwinked by twitter into signing a

46
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:20,239
44 billion merger agreement hoodwinked the richest man in the world

47
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:23,840
got hoodwinked musk's case is based around twitter having more bot accounts

48
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:28,159
than the five percent figure twitter advertised to him but twitter says the

49
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:33,599
tool musk used for his own bot counting even identified musk's own account as a

50
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:38,480
bot the tool hilariously called bottom meter uses machine learning to calculate

51
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:43,200
a score that indicates how bot-like an account is a may 2022 article from

52
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:48,560
protocol lists musk's account with a score of four to five or an 80

53
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:52,799
likelihood of him being a bot these days he's getting a 1.2 out of 5 according to

54
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:57,840
rs technica though if we're all being honest with ourselves the 80 was much

55
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:01,439
easier to believe zuckerberg is a 95. according to us below meter you're a

of warcraft mobile game that has been developed for the past three years has

66
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:50,080
been scrapped reports bloomberg blizzard and chinese gaming giant netease

67

co-creator of diablo immortal have apparently cancelled an unannounced

mobile mmo set in the same universe as world of warcraft the cancellation comes

69
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:01,919
after the companies could not agree over financial terms for the title i wonder

70
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:05,919
if one was trying to get a payment from the other each time a certain action was

71
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:10,160
performed it might just be tragic google is officially merging google meet and

72
00:05:07,919 --> 00:05:14,560
google duo announced in june the plan was to keep the google meet branding and

73
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:18,000
the google duo features however the existing google meet app is still

74
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:21,840
sticking around until september this means there are now two apps called

75
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:26,479
google meet apparently it'll take a few more months for them to combine and form

76
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:30,160
some sort of meat loaf he took the words right out of my mouth

youtube is testing a new mobile app feature premium subscribers that opt

into the experimental feature can now pinch for an up to eight times zoom on

79
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:44,639
both portrait and landscape videos sure it'll let you zoom but it'll not let you

80
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:48,800
enhance so fans of true crime youtube will still be unable to live out their

81
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,960
csi tech fantasies that's probably for its best yeah

82
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:57,919
Intel says that they expect laptops equipped with wi-fi 7 to be able to

83
00:05:55,039 --> 00:06:02,400
reach speeds that will surpass 5.8 gigabits per second this is more than

84
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:08,880
double the current wired speeds on most high-end laptops and nearly six times

85
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:10,639
that of standard wired devices the ieee

86
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:15,120
e the ie said it expects the standard to be ready

87
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:19,440
by 2024 when asked about what they'd use such fast wi-fi for Intel refused to

88
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,800
make eye contact and began trying to clear the browsing history on their

89
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:27,520
phone without anyone noticing it's like you in business meetings

90
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:32,800
got me there that's true definitely not evil corporation amazon has announced a

91
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:38,479
deal to purchase irobot maker of the definitely not sentient vacuum cleaner

92

93
00:06:38,479 --> 00:06:44,560
unclear what amazon intends to do with an expensive robot army that collects

94
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:50,240
detailed floor plans of people's homes there's surely absolutely no reason to
