1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:07,650
that's right tech news man is back

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,760
mother

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:16,800
Intel has announced a lineup of all new arc pro graphics cards since the launch

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:22,240
of Intel's arc gpus for gaming was such a smashing success

5
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:24,080
smart and then the script says smirk

6
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:28,720
as the name implies they're professional tier graphics processors for content

7
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:34,559
creation design and engineering akin to NVIDIA's rtx a series and AMD's Radeon

8
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:37,280
pro the cards have a dare i say it

9
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:41,440
minimalist and utilitarian look devoid of any RGB bling you could use to

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,800
illuminate the gaping void in your soul but they do have all the bells and

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:49,600
whistles when it comes to encoding and rendering however as is still the case

12
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:54,320
with the arc gaming lineup it might be a bit before we find out just how well

13
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:58,640
these pro gpus actually work considering Intel's now very well publicized issues

14
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:02,719
with graphics drivers and more recently board partners so you may want to think

15
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:06,880
about holding off on buying an arc pro unless you're looking for an architect

16
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,880
that wasn't john i take full responsibility hey you know

17
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:15,680
how you can save a thousand dollars right now leave it in your bank account

18
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:21,119
and don't spend it on anything or you could buy an rtx 3090 ti which is

19
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:25,119
getting a pretty insane discount due to the huge glut of inventory floating

20
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:30,159
around out there that NVIDIA wants cleared out ahead of the lovelace GPU

21
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:34,240
launch right now two models from evga are going for less than twelve hundred

22
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:38,159
dollars down from msrp is around twenty two hundred bucks so it's quite a deal

23
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:43,360
but do keep in mind that the upcoming rtx 4070 is rumored to match the

24
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:47,119
performance of the 3090 ti at a significantly lower price point so if

25
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:51,280
you've got twelve hundred dollars burning a hole in your pocket maybe

26
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:56,079
choose a wiser investment like lottery tickets that was not investment advice

27
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,200
john wrote this script and he went to law school

28
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,719
but still i wouldn't valve has been quite good about allowing

29
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:06,880
players to use many different kinds of controllers but for a long time support

30
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:11,440
for the nintendo switch's joy-cons has been notably absent

31
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,959
well not anymore the latest beta version of steam finally features support for

32
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,319
the popular controllers so if you already own a switch it'll save you from

33
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,319
spending extra money on something like an xbox controller if you don't want to

34
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,680
use a mouse and keyboard do keep in mind though that unlike most other

35
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:30,480
controllers you don't have the option to connect joy-cons to your pc via usb and

36
00:02:28,239 --> 00:02:34,800
will have to use bluetooth i wonder if some indie developer will

37
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:38,800
release a steam game called joy-con drift simulator 2022.

38
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,640

with riley no way

49
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,840
oh it looks like apple is going to get into

50
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,480
the smart display game to compete with products like the amazon echo show and

51
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:41,760
the google nest hub insider mark german has reported that such a device is in

52
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,280
testing and could appear in the next couple years hopefully for apple it'll

53
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:50,560
be more popular than the complete debacle that was the original homepod i

54
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,840
can't even remember it i was traumatized you'd be forgiven for forgetting that

55
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,439
netflix has been offering some free games to subscribers for a while now a

56
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:02,159
new report has revealed that less than one percent of their subscriber base is

57
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:06,480
actually playing them although netflix's bread and butter is obviously streaming

58
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:10,000
movies and series not gaming the company would surely like to see more folks

59
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,680
downloading its games as it seeks new revenue streams to counter recent

60
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:17,440
subscriber losses except that they're only offering like a handful of Android

61
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:21,120
games right now you know what they should do is to pick up those old aaa

62
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:25,680
games that ubisoft stopped supporting that i

63
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:30,080
got him the xbox series s obviously has appeal as a lower cost alternative to

64
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:33,759
the series x but one massive trade-off is that the s doesn't have enough vram

65
00:04:31,919 --> 00:04:37,360
to keep up with all the fancy fixings developers are adding to games but a

66
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:41,280
recent software update has allocated more of the system's shared memory to

67
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:45,840
vram so hopefully you'll see a quality boost in your favorite titles and never

68
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:50,400
have to feel console envy again it's my forever console i'm sure that

69
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:54,320
NVIDIA is hoping for its lovelace gpus to be a hit whenever they come out as

70
00:04:52,160 --> 00:05:00,160
the crypto crash and result in tank and demand for graphics cards led team green

71
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:02,639
to finish the second quarter 1.4 billion

72
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:07,680
dollars short of projections that's obviously a lot of money but keep in

73
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:12,160
mind their overall revenue is up thanks to their data center business so jensen

74
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:16,639
is in no risk of having to sell the leather jacket off his back can you

75
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:21,600
imagine and remember to verify that images you see on the web are actually

76
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:25,360
what they say they are etienne klein a research director within the french

77
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:30,560
government shared what he claimed was a picture of the star proxima centauri

78
00:05:27,919 --> 00:05:35,680
taken by the james webb's telescope but it was actually a slice of chorizo

79
00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:39,680
posted as a joke and as a lesson not to blindly trust those with authority

80
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:43,360
seeing his proxima centauri is in fact a red dwarf i wouldn't feel too bad if you

81
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:47,759
were fooled by the vermilion colored sausage but now

82
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,800
i'm suddenly in the mood for tapas and if you're still in the mood for tech

83
00:05:49,039 --> 00:05:55,759
news well all i can say is come back on wednesday trust me binging tech news is

84
00:05:53,199 --> 00:06:01,080
a habit you do not want to get into it's the beginning of a

85
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,080
of a dark spiral
