listen to me the tech news i'm about to tell you could change the fate of the
world as we know it like i said it could it's a big could
sony has continued their tradition of publishing a very in-depth and
meticulous tear down of their upcoming console this time giving us a detailed
look at the ps5's inner workings one of the coolest takeaways from the video is
the revelation that the system's eight core AMD zen 2 CPU is cooled with liquid
metal yeah have you seen this boy proving
definitively that consoles are better than most pcs hey look i'm just reading
the facts here it's clear that ps5 owners are going to
get some great cooling but in japan they'll have other problems because
after 25 years sony is switching the japanese playstation controller's layout
to match the western model which uses x
to confirm and circle to cancel
in japan the x has historically meant quit while the circle has stood for ok
which frankly makes more sense what it does i hate that oh for okay it's way
over no it's the position of it makes it wrong
look if you're upset go watch the tear-down video again because you know what it's just basically
so peaceful it's just asmr when he drops it in the parts tray
one day before AMD is probably going to unveil their desktop ryzen 5000 series
cpus Intel has pushed out details about its 11th gen rocket lake cpus and what
i'm sure is a silly coincidence it's tectober baby these things happen get
used to it buy the ticket take the ride unfortunately the only two things that
Intel really said about rocket lake is that it will support PCIe 4.0 finally
catching up to ryzen in that regard and that the chips will launch in q1 next
year confirming rumors to that effect but we did get some potential details
about Intel's higher end alder lake cpus
lake country which should be launching later this year alder lake will
apparently feature at least a 16 core 32 thread chip and use some kind of hybrid
design with eight large powerful
beautiful it's just like vascular cores
as well as eight smaller efficient ones see if Intel had revealed these kind of
details i might have forgotten that AMD is gonna launch new cpus tomorrow that
will probably still blow rocket lake out of the water when that launches in 2021
but as it is i won't forget no dr lisa sue
and epic games has rallied some support for their lawsuit against apple in the
form of a report filed by the house judiciary subcommittee on anti-trust
it's the result of a 16-month long investigation into the workings of tech
giants like facebook amazon google and apple and concludes that each of these
companies enjoys monopoly power in specific markets perhaps the most
interesting thing in the report is the claim that apple abuses its monopoly on
the iOS app distribution market if that sounds familiar it's because that's the
exact argument epic is trying to make against apple now to be crystal clear
this report is not legally binding and doesn't materially change anything but
it does provide some validation to epic side of the case however the epic v
apple suit is going to trial in may 2021 so there's still plenty of time for
apple's assassins to take out tim swinney with a swinney with a well
thrown spinning ipad it's they're so thin

of their own rtx 3080 graphics cards so that they could sell them for higher
prices on ebay a process known as scalping well according to them no they
weren't the offending seller starlit partner is apparently an individual
sales subsidiary working under MSI who normally sells refurbished items and
excess inventory MSI says that an internal error allowed them to access
inventory that they wouldn't normally and that customers who bought the
overpriced 3080s will be offered refunds i can only imagine that the people
buying these overpriced 380s are just trying to experience ray tracing before
they die apple has confirmed leaks that pointed

the strings of government listen to the q and on episode from the reply all
