Amazon Prime day may be over but you can call me optimist because it's a prime
0:06
day for news about technology no sooner did Apple launch a MacBook
0:11
with an unlocked core i-96 core
0:14
processor than tech nerds found a problem with it intrepid youtuber Dave
0:19
Lee has found that the core I nine macbook performs worse than the core i7
0:24
version in many instances because of its
0:27
extensive thermal throttling in fact while rendering a video the CPU wasn't
0:32
even able to maintain its a base clock speed of 2.9 gigahertz only once mr. Lee
0:38
put the laptop in the freezer did it render faster than the core i7 another
0:44
prime example of Apple's form over
0:47
function design refusing to add more powerful cooling to it's beautifully
0:52
slimming device so go watch Dave's full video down below and hopefully they will
0:57
fix this in the next model huh
1:01
I'm just kidding the European Commission has fine Google 4.3 for billion euros or
1:07
5 billion u.s. dollars and that is no laughing matter hahaha for
1:13
anti-competitive behavior regarding the Android platform I mean that is a lot of
1:17
money but then Google did make nine point four billion dollars in the first
1:22
quarter of 2018 alone so they're probably gonna get through this
1:27
the behavior in question involves Google requiring manufacturers to pre install
1:33
apps like Google search and Chrome in
1:36
order to access the Google Play Store you can make an Android variant without
1:41
those apps but you would lose access to the Play Store which is what Amazon did
1:45
with fire OS which they run on their tablets the Commission's ruling means
1:50
that Google may be forced to include the
1:53
Google Play Store in Android weather device manufacturers and carriers
1:57
pre-installed google apps or not but
2:00
that might mean that google would need to charge for Android and that's not a
2:05
threat Europe that's a promise may be specula speculatively and USB type-c is
2:12
can it's crusade against all other connectors with the announcement of a
2:15
new standard for VR a big old gang of companies that always cooperate
2:19
including NVIDIA valve and AMD also Microsoft have announced their
2:24
collaboration on a physical connector standard known as virtual link right now
2:29
virtual link is just like a regular link but it's only in your mind no just
2:34
kidding right now VR headsets often have separate cables for power video and
2:38
audio not to mention other data so virtual link using USB-C would combine
2:43
all of those streams into one whether they want to or not the standard is
2:48
expected to show up on next-gen VR and augmented reality headsets but not those
2:54
from Sony or Intel they have not joined the virtual link club quite possibly
3:00
because they think the name is terrible but I mean like have you got a better
3:04
one the de goggle cable headset Connect
3:07
vr troopers really sweet
3:12

the bits that aren't fast the Xbox too
4:00
is coming ha just kidding Microsoft doesn't know how to count but seriously
4:04
they are bringing some kind of new Xbox hardware to Gamescom in Germany in
4:08
August maybe a psvr competitor maybe another Kinect ha ha just kidding about
4:13
that to a waterpark in earning Germany
4:17
has opened VR slide which is exactly what it sounds like a waterslide with
4:21
built in via is this really a good idea the headset is water-resistant but like
4:28
maybe I'm being old-fashioned here but what was wrong with regular what isn't
4:33
that the point of a waterslide and if if I wanted a VR waterslide experience why
4:37
wouldn't I just sit in my chair wearing a VR headset and having somebody
4:41
like splash water and you know we should try that later that sounds fun
4:45
rolls-royce is developing little swarms of robots to crawl inside engines and
4:51
fix problems are they German because that seems like a German solution to a
4:56
problem you know what instead of making it so that you can get the wrench on the
5:00
nut why don't we just make a new wrench they're aiming to make the BOTS as small
5:05
as fifteen millimeters across and I'm sure you've already thought of the
5:09
scenario where these things go rogue and think that our bodies our engines and go
5:13
inside and try to fix stuff but but bit but they don't fix it they just make it
5:16
worse way worse GE has unveiled the smart countertop
5:22
microwave which is a microwave but smart and goes on your counter bullet okay
5:26
regular microwaves can go on your countertop but it but the point is they can cook food after you scan the foods
5:32
packaging with your phone which I'm sure is so much easier than just kind of
5:37
looking at about what mass of food you have and I think of all the free time
5:42
we're gonna have now for virtual waterslides and finally Swiss
5:47
researchers are working on a system that allows drone pilots to use their body to
5:51
command the tiny aircrafts rather than a
5:54
joystick I can think of some parts of my body that could substitute for this
5:59
finger that's right what do you think participants were better able to
6:02
complete flying challenges using the new system compared to traditional to
6:06
traditional controls so soon we can look
6:10
stupid doing things in real life exactly the way that we do in VR and that's it
6:15
for tackling boys and girls so if you didn't know this is a show about tech
6:19
news they know that they just sat through it you probably shouldn't yeah I
6:22
see the problem you even knew they should why would you even put it in there like the video if you liked it we
6:28
post every Monday Wednesday and Friday except when we're gonna be on vacation
6:31
soon so subscribe to get your fix now I
6:34
need to go get my fix aka Milan Ireland
