uh yeah no there isn't an intro here so uh
i think like there was a little bit of guidance in the actual doc x saying
quick 10 second joke here that was the intro as powerful as the
new playstation 5 and xbox series x look to be under the hood they might end up
needing more Wi-Fi bandwidth especially as game downloads flights mx
become even larger the good news is that a report indicates
the ps5 will come with wi-fi 6 built in
although of course it won't magically make the internet connection coming into
your house faster wi-fi 6 should provide
improvements when lots of devices are connected to a single wi-fi network at
once it may also end up being a good way for sony to increase the longevity of its
new console as wi-fi 6 is quite new and
many routers on the market don't even support it yet of course you could
always just run a long Ethernet cable to your console as long as you're not prone
to tripping over stuff or you can use a wi-fi bridge although the big news with
apple right now is its legal battle over fortnight with epic games there's also a
kerfuffle brewing between apple and facebook the social media giant has
inserted a transparency notice
into an update to make users aware that 30 percent of the revenue facebook gets
through in-app purchases actually goes to apple due to the app
store terms of service the same issues at the root of the current apple epic
dispute unsurprisingly apple didn't like this
much and as such has blocked the update from making its way to users the impetus
for this seems to be that facebook was understandably i suppose miffed after
apple decided not to waive its usual 30 fee for facebook hosted virtual events
for small business owners affected by the pandemic and facebook is also
reportedly unhappy about how stricter rules surrounding off app ad tracking in
iOS 14 could eat into facebook's ad revenue
personally i wouldn't mind a 30 cut of an apple probably a pie
yeah power supplies well they're not the most exciting thing in the world they're
a critical part of your pc build and there haven't been any other major
entrants into the psu market lately until now MSI has just announced that
it's coming out with their own line of power supplies and yes they come
complete with dragons on them they have a number of standard fare
bells and whistles including japanese capacitors full modularity 80 plus gold
certification and flat cables but surprisingly
no RGB but if you can get over and having your power supply not looking
like the tilt-a-whirl at the county fair MSI is offering skus between 650 and 850
watts we're not sure who the oem is but
we can say it's probably not the same people who make those gray box psus that
like to spark under load probably
fsp c3bt or seasonic

mass-market under-screen cameras for your phone will arrive in 2021. the
company says that the next generation of its mobile cameras can be completely
hidden without affecting picture quality or the screen experience
we'll have to wait and see if their claims are true but obviously a phone
with an additional 0.5 square centimeters of usable screen space will
be a major boom to society and if you've been paying attention on LTT the
original wii is the latest console to be scaled down
in size not quite in terms of micro console but
modern ginger of mods has found a way to fit a wii into a chassis the size of a
game boy color like the one we did on LTT it comes complete with built-in
joysticks and can simulate a shaking a wii remote since the miniaturized system
doesn't come with a sensor bar pretty cool but
what if you can fit a mario kart wheel on it and also there's a slightly smaller one now uh
actually it came out a little bit earlier but it's a little bit less polished looking it's uh actually in an

well as a special headset for an event on september 2nd so we'll find out soon
enough what exactly Intel's up to i just hope they don't get rid of that jingle
and just a reminder if you have a tesla it's still a good idea to pay full
attention if you're on autopilot this week a tesla driver in north carolina
crashed into a police car because he was watching a movie on his phone while
behind the wheel needless to say he's facing charges so remember that
autopilot is a little bit of a misnomer i guess
the thing in your tesla that makes driving 20 easier wasn't as sexy for
marketing purposes and that's our show for today come back on wednesday pretty
sure that means monday we're not skipping monday we're going to be here
