guys guys guys tech news isn't something you feel it's something you read and
0:05
hear and you know feel microsoft is reportedly
0:08
planning to launch a dual screen surface tablet codenamed
0:12
centaurus centerus in the first half of 2020 forbes
0:17
reported the information after receiving it from a source inside the supply chain
0:22
the supply chain is all around you centaurus will reportedly feature two
0:26
nine inch screens with a four by three aspect ratio which they normally have
0:30
and we'll run Windows lite a slim down version of Windows 10 designed to
0:34
compete with chrome os it will also feature Intel's super slim 10 nanometer
0:39
lakefield soc and will be able to run Android apps as well as icloud
0:44
that all seemed a little out there but uh at least we know where the centaur
0:48
name came from because this is just a bunch of product concepts smashed
0:52
together like a human and a horse and not in a good way wait
0:56
what's the good way hope you had a good weekend because the
0:59
Linux community was busy getting jerked around over whether their games would be
1:04
ruined so first a spokesperson for the ubuntu distro posted an update on their
1:09
forums effectively saying new versions of ubuntu would not support 32-bit
1:13
applications since a ton of apps on Linux used 32-bit including Windows apps
1:17
that are run through compatibility layers like wine and steam proton the
1:21
community understandably got upset and a
1:25
developer at valve said steam would no longer support ubuntu going forward but
1:29
after seeing the backlash the ubuntu leadership changed their mind and
1:33
announced that they would support specific 32-bit programs following a
1:37
community-directed selection process i don't know whether to be mad that they
1:41
didn't think this through at first or mad that they flip flopped it's all very
1:45
confusing i am mad though are you ah you
1:48
use Linux mad and there's a new raspberry pi on
1:52
the scene and it's tastier than ever it still costs the same 35 as the pi 3 but
1:57
the new pi 4 features upgrades to almost every component and according to its
2:01
makers it can provide desktop performance comparable to an entry-level
2:04
x86 pc system wow the system runs a 1.5
2:09
gigahertz ARM cortex a72 CPU which delivers about three times more
2:13
performance than the pi 3 and video core 6 graphics which can drive two 4k
2:18
monitors booyah it's also got gigabit Ethernet up to four gigabytes of lp ddr4
2:23
memory and four usb ports two of which
2:27
are usb 3.0 it's apparently so capable
2:30
that most of the raspberry pi website is being run on a cluster of 18 raspberry
2:34
pi force although the server rack doesn't look particularly pretty that's
2:39
called a bush riley oh yeah it's a raspberry bush but hey things can look
2:44
horribly ugly and still be worth something you know riley's living proof oh he turned it

why not both the u.s ban on huawei is apparently so
4:32
strong that not even single phones can slip by
4:36
it pc mag tried to ship a huawei p30 from britain to their colleague in the
4:40
states but after identifying the contents of the package fedex returned
4:44
the phone saying that they could not deliver it because of a u.s government
4:48
issue with huawei and china government that's literally what it said on the
4:51
package nuance political commentary isn't fedex's strong suit but they got
4:56
the gist of it the u.s air force has unveiled a new prototype anti-drone
5:00
defense weapon called the tactical high power microwave operational responder or
5:05
thor that's not contrived at all it uses short bursts of microwave radiation to
5:09
disable drones from a distance and could even disable many at once the
5:14
countermeasure was developed in just 18 months to protect against attacks from a
5:17
swarm of enemy drones it would be cooler
5:20
if you could shoot out lightning at the drones instead but i i guess we can
5:23
settle for this it's okay i remember that whole scandal a couple years back
5:27
where volkswagen was spoofing emissions test results for its diesel cars well
5:32
daimler which owns mercedes-benz was just accused of the sane darn thing darn
5:37
it auto regulators germany just told the company they'd have to recall 42 000 of
5:42
their vehicles after illegal software was discovered that met with the
5:46
emissions control system look some cars are just gassier than others right it's
5:50
simple biology
