but wait i'm going to transform into my alter ego
0:06
now i'm ready for the tech news
0:09
speaking of tech news Intel remembers the good times sure butchered that
0:14
segway when NVIDIA had some actual competition in the graphic space the
0:18
company has released a flashy video teasing its discreet graphics cards
0:23
along with a list of its previous achievements in graphics like the truly
0:27
mind-shattering feat of being the first pc graphics to play netflix movies in 4k
0:34
uh Intel's graphics ambitions are the reason why they hired AMD's former head
0:38
of graphics raja kuduri earlier this year maybe they have some real
0:42
innovation to bring to the table or maybe they're just looking to shift
0:45
focus from the fact that they just can't seem to get past the 14 nanometer node i
0:50
mean when you've been with something that long you know you can't drop it like it's nothing speaking of feelings
0:56
the internet is feeling the hype perhaps too much so about NVIDIA's upcoming
1:01
graphics card announcement on monday we've seen leaks of MSI's gaming x trio
1:06
and duke versions of the rtx 2080 and
1:10
2080 ti we've seen photos of the rtx
1:13
2080s pcb so scandalous complete with the actual
1:18
GPU and info about the specs claiming that the 2080 ti has 11 gigs of gddr6
1:24
memory with 4 352 cuda cores while the 2080 has 8 gigs
1:30
of vram with 2944 cuda cores we're still
1:34
waiting to hear about how many giga rays the new cards will have though since the
1:38
rtx denotes real-time ray tracing
1:41
capabilities the new quadros have 10 giga rays which is there's there's not
1:46
nearly enough giga rays around here i've been saying for years if only we had
1:50
more giga rays well then
1:53
there will be then there will be no shortage of giga rays and ASUS wasn't
1:57
content with making the rog zephyrus the world's thinnest gaming laptop once
2:02
they had to do it a second time with the logically named zephyrus s for smooth
2:08
small smooth operator and they had to unveil it with the world's most
2:12
over-the-top and unnecessary launch video ever complete with flashy action
2:17
scenes that are meant to mirror the flashiness of the laptop or
2:22
um ed from accounting was like you know
2:25
what i've always just dreamed of making a short film with these characters
2:30
fighting each other in an epic battle wouldn't that be cool
2:34
and then he just allocated his own budget anyway the 15-inch notebook is
2:39
14.95 millimeters thin
2:43
with an 8th gen Intel core i7 gtx 1060
2:46
or 1070 max q graphics a 1080p screen with a 144hz refresh rate and 3
2:50
milliseconds response time oh and ASUS also unveiled the rg strix scar 2 a 17
2:56
inch gaming machine but its launch video was way less flashy so you don't want
2:59
that one it's time for snazzy snippets brought to
3:03
you by the snazziest canadian electronics retailer memory express their uber price beat guarantee means
3:08
that memory express will beat any authorized canadian retailers
3:13
price by 10 of the difference both in store and online now that's snazzy plus they
3:18
have awesome customer care with 15 day returns and exchanges so canadians do
3:22
yourself a maple syrup in favor and check out memory express at the link in
3:26
the description maple syrup can be like a cuss word yeah google's in hot water
3:31
speaking of cuss words after reports revealed that google apps and websites
3:36
continue to track users locations even
3:39
when location history is turned off so google has changed the language this
3:44
is the obvious response that it uses to describe location tracking so you feel
3:49
better about the fact that you're probably being tracked all the time
3:52
everywhere by everything anyway so you might as well just give up thanks google
3:57
that was the right thing to do valve for some reason is still trying to
4:02
squeeze some life out of the dead lifeless corpse of steam machines reddit
4:07
users have found that files buried in the steam ui
4:11
reference something called play
4:14
which would let Windows games run on steam os and other Linux flavors via a
4:20
virtual machine or or or or
4:23
or or or you could just buy a Windows machine
4:28
it's just like a steam machine but with Windows you'll love the sunlight
4:32
motorola unveiled their new p30 smartphone which appears to be almost a
4:36
carbon copy of the iphone 10 right down
4:39
to the home screen wallpaper now i'm not sure whether this was
4:43
motorola putting on like uh a workshop on how to plagiarize or maybe
4:50
we're just getting to the limit of how different phones can look from each
4:53
other except i really don't think it's that second one like really what are you
4:56
guys doing like we're just it's like we're just adding ugly things for the
5:00
hell of it notches folding screens what's wrong with folding screens you
5:03
being a hater hater ARM is super confident that its next cortex cpus are
5:08
going to beat Intel's laptop core i5s
5:12
and that'll be next year but the chips aren't released yet so this appears to
5:16
be the chip maker equivalent of like you know before the wwe match when they like
5:22
stand there and each other i'm gonna rip you apart
5:26
but like nerdier and getting robots to balance properly is hard but researchers
5:30
from the university of tokyo have found a solution
5:34
just give the robot a drone for a head
5:37
that way it'll still stumble around but it'll make a lot more noise and have
5:42
less control we are like this close
5:46
to deus ex machina or ex machina or whatever that i got games and movies
5:50
confused i robot it's a better one the
5:54
iron man the suits move without him in it sometimes i think anyway we're at the
5:59
