hey guys you may not know this but there's a little thing i like to call
james time in this moment right here that's a great example of james time
james can you just it's james time on wednesday we talked about some leaks
concerning NVIDIA's rumored super versions of their rtx graphics cards but
now there's even more information from sources i love air codes today
it's still a little sketchy but apparently inside our sources i've told
wccf tech videocards.com and igor
wallacek from toms hardware germany that NVIDIA will release upgraded versions of
the rtx 2060 2070 and 2080 at those cards original price points while the
vanilla versions will get a price cut wccf text and videocards.com sources
both point to a possible announcement for these cards next week now what this
could mean for the graphics card market is just chaos utter
debasement NVIDIA would have 11 current gen cards
out there from the gtx 1650 to the titan rtx not to mention it will probably
anger gamers who just bought the non-super clark kent rtx cards at full
price let's hope the Radeon rx 5700
cards are pretty super themselves or they're gonna have a super hard time
selling to a super crowded market
super duper it's time to check in on our favorite sketchy chinese company huawei
the company got some bad press this week that was unrelated to its banned by the
us huawei device owners reported that ads started showing up on their lock
screens for hotelservicebooking.com
after the reports became widespread huawei removed the wallpaper ads from
their servers but didn't mention whether the ad placement was intentional or not
meanwhile the company announced it has delayed its mate x folding phone to
september from its original summer launch september is definitely fall huawei says
they delay the phone not because of the us ban but to avoid problems similar to
the ones that plagued the samsung galaxy fold which has been indefinitely delayed
due to manufacturing issues well that explanation is a bit hard to swallow
given that huawei also just canceled the launch of their latest matebook despite
the setbacks huawei might be gaining allies china's global times reports that
fellow chinese companies xiaomi tencent and oppo are reportedly testing huawei's
hongmen operating system for use with their own products presumably to use as
a replacement for Android which they won't be able to use anymore that sounds
scary but but isn't that actually a good thing that means that there are more
androids for the rest of us i love hoarding androids
and 5g might be the next big thing in tech but there's just one problem it
might break our weather detection systems
nasa and the national oceanic atmospheric administration or noaa have
warned that since the band of spectrum used by 5g equipment is very close to
the band used by weather technology deploying vast 5g networks could result
in a data loss of roughly 77 percent
that's a lot of percents but ajit pai chairman of the fcc thinks nasa doesn't
know what they're talking about i mean they're only nasa
pi says that studies provided by the two dissenting agencies are faulty and that
they fail to account for the use of beam forming which would focus 5d signals
more precisely to avoid interference with weather equipment for now it looks
like 5g development is moving forward so i guess we'll find out if we shot
ourselves in the foot after we pull the trigger yeah usually a good strategy
yeah you got to be confident it's gonna rain i know it's gonna rain already now it's
time for quick bits brought to you by madanina's
you can drink the very essence of Linus tech tips with the lambo roast it's got

there is no spoon Intel has not stopped their wild hiring spree just yet with
their latest recruits being former apple developer manisha padia and john cell
who also worked for apple but most recently worked for microsoft as the
chief architect of chip designs for the xbox one x and the upcoming project
scarlet man Intel is building up the hype for
their graphics cards like something fierce like imagine they
launch and they just suck hey these are just integrated
graphics elon musk bless his heart he dropped by e3 to announce that even more
games are coming to tesla vehicles including beach buggy racing 2 which
will let you use the car's steering wheel to control the game even when
you're driving just joking i made that last part up tesla is also working on
adding support for video streaming apps like youtube and netflix but tesla
owners will only be able to use these features while the vehicle is in park
boring but also our relief
musk also took the opportunity to remind us once again
that we're all living a simulation right
nothing's real except me more leaks to make you freak out
unnecessarily sources reportedly told wccf tech that AMD is planning to launch
a new threadripper CPU with 64 freaking
cars and 128 threads in q4 2019 and
that's really cool but like guys how many threads do you really need you know
we gotta stop at some point i'm scared especially because this chip will
apparently launch on the x 599 platform so AMD's jumping from x 399 to 5.99 come
on it's a mess i can't handle that many x's
ai generated deep fake videos and photos may be a scourge on human's ability to
determine what's real but adobe has come up with a solution make an ai figured it
out the company worked with researchers at
uc berkeley on a machine learning method to identify when images of faces have
been manipulated but what if that ai gets tricked into
joining the deep fake ais and then we need another ai to figure out where the
first one's lying oh no or smarter every day would say counter
counter counter measures he loves counter measures
yeah what if and security from cyber mdx has found critical security
vulnerabilities in an infusion pump widely used in hospitals and clinics the
pump runs on a pre-Android operating system Windows ce there is a patch
available though so if you're getting an iv make sure you ask your nurse whether
your pump's been updated or you
and your very blood could get hacked that sounds like a joke but it could be
dangerous so your nurse isn't gonna know
it would be just as dangerous not really to continue this episode so it's time to
end it once and for all so come back on monday for more tech news and hey maybe
even subscribe if you're feeling up to it if not that's fine you live your life
at your own pace okay sweetie sweetie
who writes this stuff i made you say sweetie hey sweetie hey a doll
