look i know what you guys are thinking tech news is easy it just grows on trees
0:05
but you're wrong
0:09
it grows in the ground and you've really got to yank on it sometimes that's tech
0:13
news right after his spacex starship blew its top during a pressure test
0:18
which is apparently not a huge setback elon musk took to the internet to get
0:23
even more flack for the ridiculous
0:26
design of the new tesla cyber truck welcome to the cybertruck
0:31
unveil i mean look at that thing it's like a
0:35
de-aging snapchat filter but for polygons it looks like it was designed
0:39
when tesla had to take your kids to work day it looks like what happens when you
0:43
try to wedge a truck into a parking spot it's what a truck looks like before you
0:47
downloaded the right driver being as ugly as it is i'm not surprised that it
0:51
doesn't come with any mirrors it's like a delorean and an x-wing had a baby wait
0:54
is this the halo warthog with the low-spec gamer treatment all right guys
0:58
we're running out of good angles here anywho it starts at 39 000 us dollars
1:03
but there's also a 70 000 model with 14
1:07
000 pounds of towing capacity and that'll do zero to 60 and under 2.9
1:11
seconds oh right and there's also an atv
1:15
that can be charged in the bed of the truck the panels are made from the same
1:19
stainless steel alloy that's used in the starship rocket and they are bulletproof
1:25
the glass was also supposed to be incredibly resilient but for some reason
1:30
musk felt the need to demo this on stage when the truck clearly wasn't ready yet
1:35
i don't know i i'd still consider getting one as long as it's Windows stop
1:39
crashing after teasing it earlier this year valve
1:44
delivered the official trailer for half-life alex yesterday and i'd be
1:49
lying if i said it didn't give me the tingles
1:52
the game is a prequel set between the events of half-life 1 and 2 but fans are
1:57
combing through the trailer and are starting to be hopeful that it could
2:01
bleed directly into the post episode 2 story valve is apparently interested in
2:07
pushing forward with the franchise but temper your expectations harden your
2:13
hearts we're all just going to get hurt again aren't we a nice bonus bit of news
2:18
that came along with the game's trailer is that all owners of the valve index
2:22
that's me and even those who only bought index controllers will get the game for
2:26
free along with some other in-game goodies i mean i don't think any of them
2:29
are sufficient consolation for 12 years of waiting but that's okay
2:33
this is a happy day and NVIDIA launched the gtx 1650 super today with very
2:39
little fanfare we forgot about it we never even got one they sent some
2:42
reviewers the card but they did not provide drivers for testing it um some
2:46
outlets like tech powerup and hardware unboxed we're able to modify the
2:50
publicly available NVIDIA drivers to add support for the card but the initial
2:54
consensus seems to be that the new 159
2:57
graphics processor is well it's actually pretty great value at its price point so
3:01
it's really unclear why NVIDIA apparently wanted to avoid any reviews
3:05
coming out on launch day maybe they were just bashful maybe they were afraid of
3:09
competition from stadia
3:13
in other budget GPU news german publication heist
3:17
has put up a review of the Radeon rx 5500 showing it beating the vanilla gtx
3:22
1650 so that might be a decent lower powered option whenever the cards
3:26
actually make it to the market and hopefully they even come with drivers
3:30
