it's me colin bam my name's not colin
nobody cares what your name is okay okay i could be waiting in line for the dole
but no am i trying to rap what the
is this intro i don't understand the joke Intel's arc alchemist GPU is in trouble
yet again according to german tech tester and commenter igor wallacek of
igor's lab Intel have run afoul of many of their branded partners causing
widespread discontent amongst the manufacturers the trouble supposedly
started when Intel told their add-in board partners to avoid selling the
cards on the retail market and instead focus on system integrators and oems
which carries a much lower profit margin to make matters worse Intel has also
reportedly refused to give a guaranteed price point for their arc a380 or
similar cards and their rma and returns policy are notably worse than those of
NVIDIA and AMD all of this has according to igor left the partners sitting on
massive amounts of inventory and with the price of graphics cards in sharp
decline it's getting less valuable by the day we've all been there evidently
nobody wants a plush banana for scale from ltteststore.com filled with real
banana skin why'd i order 40 000 of them they smelled worse than you one aib
unknown manufacturers apparently cease production of art cards entirely citing
quality concerns while the partners who still are on board have reportedly
capped their marketing budget for these cards and won't be doing any big launch
day pushes so the arc launch parties could be less of an extravaganza and
more of a guy on the side of the freeway with a sign that says please buy my gpus
anything helps please please and in more Intel news the company has yet again
delayed its 3 nanometer meteor lake tile GPU order according to its manufacturer
tsmc it was announced last year that Intel will be outsourcing the production
of tgpu chipsets for their 14th generation processors to tsmc with
orders due in the second half of 2022. initially they delayed those orders
until early 2023 and now they've delayed their order further to late 2023. with
Intel leaving them high and dry tsmc has been left with only one client for their
three nanometer production line and that client is apple it's expected that
companies like AMD mediatek and qualcomm will eventually also be knocking on
their door for three nanometer but uptake will be slowed now that there's
limited capital to expand the production line ahead of those companies throwing
down some deposits if Intel fails to mass-produce their Intel 4 in-house and
on schedule the resulting outsourcing to tsmc could still offer a bit of
financial reprieve from the current situation however if they are successful
it could spell future order cancellations as Intel moves away from
outsourcing even further poor tsmc always a bridesmaid never a bride you're
always useless and barely employed
this is a new guy this is a new guy very funny twitter has
rejected elon musk's claims in court that he had legitimate reasons to back
out of a 44 billion deal to purchase the social media platform saying that musk
claims are contradicted by the evidence and common sense which we assume was
padded out letter by letter across all 127 pages of the filing that also states
that according to musk he was hoodwinked by twitter into signing a
44 billion merger agreement hoodwinked the richest man in the world
got hoodwinked musk's case is based around twitter having more bot accounts
than the five percent figure twitter advertised to him but twitter says the
tool musk used for his own bot counting even identified musk's own account as a
bot the tool hilariously called bottom meter uses machine learning to calculate
a score that indicates how bot-like an account is a may 2022 article from
protocol lists musk's account with a score of four to five or an 80
likelihood of him being a bot these days he's getting a 1.2 out of 5 according to
rs technica though if we're all being honest with ourselves the 80 was much
easier to believe zuckerberg is a 95. according to us below meter you're a

been scrapped reports bloomberg blizzard and chinese gaming giant netease
co-creator of diablo immortal have apparently cancelled an unannounced

if one was trying to get a payment from the other each time a certain action was
performed it might just be tragic google is officially merging google meet and
google duo announced in june the plan was to keep the google meet branding and
the google duo features however the existing google meet app is still
sticking around until september this means there are now two apps called
google meet apparently it'll take a few more months for them to combine and form

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
both portrait and landscape videos sure it'll let you zoom but it'll not let you

csi tech fantasies that's probably for its best yeah
Intel says that they expect laptops equipped with wi-fi 7 to be able to
reach speeds that will surpass 5.8 gigabits per second this is more than
double the current wired speeds on most high-end laptops and nearly six times
that of standard wired devices the ieee
e the ie said it expects the standard to be ready
by 2024 when asked about what they'd use such fast wi-fi for Intel refused to
make eye contact and began trying to clear the browsing history on their
phone without anyone noticing it's like you in business meetings
