Look, I already know why you're here. It's for tech news. How do I know this?
I can tell by the way you clicked on this video. There was just something
about it. See, the PlayStation 6, which
sounds weird to say, may come with a handheld variant that takes a page from
Nintendo in that it has a Switch style docked mode for TV gaming and that
they'll sue you if you even think about writing God of War fanfiction. The
docked mode claim comes from YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead, whose sources also
provided him with the PS6 handheld's APU specs, which if accurate, would make it
one of the most cuttingedge processors ever in a gaming console. The chip CPU
cores are reportedly built on AMD's Zen 6 architecture, which is slated to
launch in 2027, while its GPU uses AMD's
also unreleased nextG RDNA 5 graphics.
Normally consoles are built on chips and architectures that are at least a couple
years old by the time they launch. So developers can squeeze everything they
can out of familiar stable chipsets. So
we're not sure how much to trust Moors law is dead here. He's right very often,
but it is a leak website. You know, it's like Nintendo. You let them in once and
then they sue you. I'm keeping my distance this time. Apple has stepped in
and removed popular torrenting app torrent from alt store PAL. the third
party app store Apple was forced to allow on iOS in the EU because the EU
gets it. I Torrent developer Daniel Vinogradov told torrent freak that their
distribution rights to publish apps had been removed which an Apple spokesperson
said was due to government sanctions related rules in various jurisdictions.
Meanwhile, another developer of Eye Torrent stated on GitHub that Apple
removed alternative distribution functionality from Eye Torrent's
developer portal without any warning and didn't provide a reason for the removal.
This just shows that Apple does still have some control over what apps can and
can't be on their device or your device
through side loading since in the Markets Act ruling, apps must still be
notorized by Apple to be published. So, what's the point of the market act? Do
you? I thought you got it. Everyone's
favorite punching bag, Intel has confirmed it has received the $5.7
billion it was supposed to get from the US government in exchange for the
government getting 10% of the company, but the deals are still being ironed
out. The concept of a plan, according to the White House, they're not sure
whether it's completely fair just yet. They may put in a clause about making
Intel do their laundry, but a previous version of the deal was reportedly
structured to prevent Intel from selling its foundry unit, stipulating that the
government could purchase up to 5% more of the company's shares at 20 bucks a
share if Intel's ownership fell below
51%. You better continue to own your own
company or we will at 15%. While they
did agree to the deal, Intel's financial troubles mean that it didn't have much
of a choice. And in a recent SEC filing, they warned investors about the various
ways in which the government owning part of Intel could hurt their sales, not
help them, citing the possibility that many of Intel's customers may think the
deal is lame and cringe. Unlike our sponsor, Get them boot.dev. The smartest
way to learn back-end web development from start to finish in Python Go and
more. Why is it the smartest? because it makes sure that you're never bored. It's
self-paced, feels like a captivating RPG game, and gets you writing a ton of code
because the only way to really learn is by slapping your fingers on that
keyboard like it's a bass guitar and laying out the funkiest lines of code
this side of the Mississippi. Now, you might have heard that the median salary
for back-end developers in the US in 2023 was over $100,000, but I bet you
didn't know that training for that job is also really fun with boot.dev. It
does not seem fair. Earn XP, level up, get achievements, and complete quests to
climb the global leaderboard. And if you ever get stuck, you can ask the active
Discord community or Boots, a powerful
bear wizard. I'm not going to explain that. They've got a free demo of every
course and a 30-day no questions asked refund policy. Plus, you can use the
code techlink to get 25% off your first payment for boot.dev. So, click the link
in the description to choose your subscription and get 25% off your first
month or first year. Even though you haven't said explicitly that you'd like
the Quickbits now, I somehow know. I
don't know how I know. I I've always had a gift. It's my Zodiac. Xbox is giving
you more value for your money by giving the core and standard tiers of Xbox Game
Pass the ability to use Xbox Cloud Gaming, whereas before you needed the
$20 a month ultimate tier. They also added the ability to play some PC Games
Pass games to these lower tiers as well. This is available today if you're part
of the Xbox Insiders program and should be rolling out to the masses soon. I'm
trying to think of the last time a company gave me more value for the money
I was already paying and I can. Happy
Friday. Soon, Microsoft Word will be changing their optin, save to the cloud
feature to opt out, meaning any new documents you create will save to one
drive by default. That's that's enough.
All right, Riley's making me read the rest anyway, even though this sucks. While senior product manager Raul Munos
stated in a blog post that this offers increased security and compliance,
Pierre Arts over at Malware Bites said that breaches happen and if your account
is ever compromised, you could be exposing any documents you are working
on. So, if that scares you, just like it scares me, be sure to toggle the setting
off and be ready to do it for Excel and
PowerPoint when they get updated in the future. YouTube is rolling out the new
hype feature to 39 more countries. If
you're watching a creator with fewer than 500,000 subscribers, you may notice
a hyper button on mobile, which when pressed gives points to the video and
helps it climb the ranks in the new leaderboard. Creators can also see how
much each video is being hyped on their dashboard, adding yet another analytic
to their difficult to navigate analytics page. But they just they live for the
analytics. Get more is better. NVIDIA continues to grow as they report another
record smashing quarter over 46 billion dollars in revenue in Q2. And they did
this without selling the H20 chip to China, which would have brought in an
estimated $8 billion on top of that. Of course, they did just get the export
license during this time. But this may cause other issues since NVIDIA says
they are unable to pay the 15% that was agreed upon to the US government if
Trump's plan isn't formalized. But NVIDIA CFO Kletto Crest said, "If
nothing shows up, I've got the licenses. I don't have to do this 15%." Yeah, you
go, girl. Taco Bell is having issues with her AI drive-thrus since people are
trolling and causing glitches. I love people today. Like this video where
someone asked for 18,000 water cups. >> Can I get 18,000 water cups, please?
>> And the AI pauses for way too long. >> Okay.
>> Before a human takes over. >> What can I get for you? Taco Bell
announced this AI drive-thru plan last year, and it's now being used in over
500 dystopian locations. And I think Dne Matthews, Taco Bell's chief digital and
technology officer, put it best when he said, "I think like everybody, sometimes
it lets me down." Yeah, me too, Dane.
Me, too. I just hope you guys won't let me down if I ask you to come back for
more tech news. I've been let down before by you, and it it hurts. I cry
not thinking about it. Riley burns my feet. Please don't let him do it again.
