there's been like eight boxes of pizza in the studio right now
0:04
ah the review embargo has lifted for NVIDIA's rtx 2070 graphics card and the
0:09
overall story seems to be similar to the 2080. the card is fine
0:14
but once again the lack of rtx and dlss support in games makes its price hard to
0:19
justify right now the price to performance ratio is not super good and
0:22
a lack of good competitor cards from AMD means NVIDIA can keep charging a lot for
0:27
these top tier cards pc gamer has a giant headline reading the new card is
0:31
12 faster than the gtx 1080 but costs 33
0:35
percent more whoa yeah we can't verify
0:38
those numbers specifically right here on techlink but Anthony and Linus's full
0:42
reviews up on Linus tech dip so check that out at the link in the description
0:46
warning if you watch it without raytracing might not even be worth it
0:50
might as well be watching on a potato and how much of your life do you want to spend like that none none of it

earlier this year google was fined five billion dollars by the european
1:00
commission for illegally dominating the web search market the main issue being
1:04
that while google offers Android as a free open source operating system if
1:08
manufacturers want to include the google play store they also have to pre-install
1:12
other google apps like search chrome gmail and more while also abiding by
1:16
certain restrictions it is good to be the king
1:20
yes what is it is that a reference to something from age of empires
1:25
you've ever used to be able to press those buttons i never i never played age of empires in response to the fine
1:30
google has altered that agreement pray they do not alter it further
1:36
Android will still be free but if you want any google apps you'll need to pay
1:40
licensing fees which is how google is going to make up the ad revenue that
1:43
they're losing by potentially not having search and chrome on Android devices so
1:48
we may see companies like samsung release an Android device in europe with
1:52
bing pre-installed instead of google search
1:56
or chinese Android phone makers launch completely google free phones wow google
2:00
free life can you even imagine such thing i just baidu
2:06
yeah i've well i prefer google speaking of chinese phone makers huawei is taking
2:10
their apps off their new flagship mate 20 and mate 20 pro while the mate 20 pro
2:15
has a traditional notch they're traditional now that's kind of sad the
2:18
mate 20 has a single dewdrop camera notch that takes up a tiny portion of
2:23
the top of the screen i think the essential phone also had something like that that's something i can live with
2:28
it's got three cameras on the back some real fancy internals like a 4 200
2:32
milliamp hour battery with the ability to charge other phones wirelessly and it
2:36
can use the camera to measure the calories of food that seems a little
2:41
fishy i get it fishy cause fish is food
2:45
right no they're friends sometimes oh fish are
2:48
friends not food yeah okay huawei also announced the nm card a proprietary
2:53
format for flash storage the size of a nano sim card not sure we needed an sd
2:58
card to be only slightly smaller but hey huawei's doing their thing i don't want
3:01
