00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.680
it's me colin bam my name's not colin

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

00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:13.040
but no am i trying to rap what the

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

00:00:16.240 --> 00:00:24.160
yet again according to german tech tester and commenter igor wallacek of

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:28.080
igor's lab Intel have run afoul of many of their branded partners causing

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:32.480
widespread discontent amongst the manufacturers the trouble supposedly

00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:36.320
started when Intel told their add-in board partners to avoid selling the

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:40.559
cards on the retail market and instead focus on system integrators and oems

00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:44.879
which carries a much lower profit margin to make matters worse Intel has also

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:49.120
reportedly refused to give a guaranteed price point for their arc a380 or

00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:53.600
similar cards and their rma and returns policy are notably worse than those of

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:57.680
NVIDIA and AMD all of this has according to igor left the partners sitting on

00:00:55.680 --> 00:01:01.520
massive amounts of inventory and with the price of graphics cards in sharp

00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:05.040
decline it's getting less valuable by the day we've all been there evidently

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:09.760
nobody wants a plush banana for scale from ltteststore.com filled with real

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

00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:18.640
unknown manufacturers apparently cease production of art cards entirely citing

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:21.920
quality concerns while the partners who still are on board have reportedly

00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:25.680
capped their marketing budget for these cards and won't be doing any big launch

00:01:23.759 --> 00:01:29.360
day pushes so the arc launch parties could be less of an extravaganza and

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

00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:37.920
anything helps please please and in more Intel news the company has yet again

00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:42.640
delayed its 3 nanometer meteor lake tile GPU order according to its manufacturer

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:46.720
tsmc it was announced last year that Intel will be outsourcing the production

00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:52.079
of tgpu chipsets for their 14th generation processors to tsmc with

00:01:49.600 --> 00:01:55.759
orders due in the second half of 2022. initially they delayed those orders

00:01:53.439 --> 00:02:00.880
until early 2023 and now they've delayed their order further to late 2023. with

00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:04.960
Intel leaving them high and dry tsmc has been left with only one client for their

00:02:03.119 --> 00:02:09.599
three nanometer production line and that client is apple it's expected that

00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:13.120
companies like AMD mediatek and qualcomm will eventually also be knocking on

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:16.800
their door for three nanometer but uptake will be slowed now that there's

00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:20.720
limited capital to expand the production line ahead of those companies throwing

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:25.200
down some deposits if Intel fails to mass-produce their Intel 4 in-house and

00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:28.720
on schedule the resulting outsourcing to tsmc could still offer a bit of

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:33.280
financial reprieve from the current situation however if they are successful

00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:38.239
it could spell future order cancellations as Intel moves away from

00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:44.319
outsourcing even further poor tsmc always a bridesmaid never a bride you're

00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:46.000
always useless and barely employed

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:50.560
this is a new guy this is a new guy very funny twitter has

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:55.280
rejected elon musk's claims in court that he had legitimate reasons to back

00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:59.920
out of a 44 billion deal to purchase the social media platform saying that musk

00:02:57.440 --> 00:03:04.280
claims are contradicted by the evidence and common sense which we assume was

00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:10.080
padded out letter by letter across all 127 pages of the filing that also states

00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:15.680
that according to musk he was hoodwinked by twitter into signing a

00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:20.239
44 billion merger agreement hoodwinked the richest man in the world

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:23.840
got hoodwinked musk's case is based around twitter having more bot accounts

00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:28.159
than the five percent figure twitter advertised to him but twitter says the

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:33.599
tool musk used for his own bot counting even identified musk's own account as a

00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:38.480
bot the tool hilariously called bottom meter uses machine learning to calculate

00:03:35.920 --> 00:03:43.200
a score that indicates how bot-like an account is a may 2022 article from

00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:48.560
protocol lists musk's account with a score of four to five or an 80

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

00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:57.840
rs technica though if we're all being honest with ourselves the 80 was much

00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:01.439
easier to believe zuckerberg is a 95. according to us below meter you're a

below on to the quick bits quick bits a world

00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:46.000
of warcraft mobile game that has been developed for the past three years has

00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:50.080
been scrapped reports bloomberg blizzard and chinese gaming giant netease

00:04:47.919 --> 00:04:54.639
co-creator of diablo immortal have apparently cancelled an unannounced

00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:58.560
mobile mmo set in the same universe as world of warcraft the cancellation comes

00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:01.919
after the companies could not agree over financial terms for the title i wonder

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

00:05:03.520 --> 00:05:10.160
performed it might just be tragic google is officially merging google meet and

00:05:07.919 --> 00:05:14.560
google duo announced in june the plan was to keep the google meet branding and

00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:18.000
the google duo features however the existing google meet app is still

00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:21.840
sticking around until september this means there are now two apps called

00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:26.479
google meet apparently it'll take a few more months for them to combine and form

00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:30.160
some sort of meat loaf he took the words right out of my mouth

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:34.400
youtube is testing a new mobile app feature premium subscribers that opt

00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:39.919
into the experimental feature can now pinch for an up to eight times zoom on

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

00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:48.800
enhance so fans of true crime youtube will still be unable to live out their

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:52.960
csi tech fantasies that's probably for its best yeah

00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:57.919
Intel says that they expect laptops equipped with wi-fi 7 to be able to

00:05:55.039 --> 00:06:02.400
reach speeds that will surpass 5.8 gigabits per second this is more than

00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:08.880
double the current wired speeds on most high-end laptops and nearly six times

00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:10.639
that of standard wired devices the ieee

00:06:08.880 --> 00:06:15.120
e the ie said it expects the standard to be ready

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

00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:22.800
make eye contact and began trying to clear the browsing history on their

00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:27.520
phone without anyone noticing it's like you in business meetings

00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:32.800
got me there that's true definitely not evil corporation amazon has announced a

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:38.479
deal to purchase irobot maker of the definitely not sentient vacuum cleaner

00:06:35.039 --> 00:06:40.880
roomba for 1.7 billion dollars though

00:06:38.479 --> 00:06:44.560
unclear what amazon intends to do with an expensive robot army that collects

00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:50.240
detailed floor plans of people's homes there's surely absolutely no reason to

00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:52.479
panic alexa play desposito that's it for
