it's wednesday so wedge your eyeballs to the screen for a few minutes to catch up
0:05
on the tech news the sd association unveiled a new specification today
0:10
called sd express so imaginative which might actually give
0:14
SATA ssds a run for their money if you
0:18
can believe that not only will the new cards be capable
0:21
of transferring data at nearly one Gigabyte per second thanks to their use
0:26
of pci express and the NVMe protocol but
0:29
they can be built in capacities of up to 128
0:34
terabytes that is 32 times larger than
0:38
the most spacious consumer ssds today
0:42
and although a 120 terabyte sd card
0:46
might seem like overkill ever rising video resolutions and the internet of
0:50
things and ai devices like autonomous
0:54
cars might mean that we will see gadgets down the road
0:58
that can take advantage of them but no word yet of course on pricing or
1:02
availability get ready to see some more expensive
1:06
gaming monitors in the near future though NVIDIA g-sync has always been a
1:10
pricey add-on but NVIDIA has been rolling out a new version of the g-sync
1:15
module that can support HDR
1:19
currently they sit inside two gaming monitors one from ASUS and one from acer
1:24
that go for about two thousand dollars a
1:27
pop and a report from pc perspective indicates that the likely cost of the
1:32
HDR compatible module is somewhere around five hundred dollars
1:37
a full one-fourth of the retail price of
1:41
a 4k 120 or 144 depending on who you ask
1:45
hertz monitor this is a market increase from the 200 that regular g-sync modules
1:52
used to cost manufacturers speaking of the way things used to be
1:56
are you still rocking a phone with just dual back cameras like a chump thinking
2:02
man this just isn't enough well
2:05
no i'm not well you yes all dozens of
2:09
you might be interested in a phone with five cameras because
2:14
why not a report from Android police claims that
2:18
lg's next flagship phone will indeed have this many lenses possibly with two
2:25
in the front to enable depth detection for selfies and the like and then three
2:31
rear cameras for additional zoom or depth of field functionality and
2:37
not to be outdone their rival samsung is
2:40
also looking at a triple rear camera setup for its next top of the line
2:44
galaxy according to a report from korea based et news we are expecting to see
2:50
this new lg model later this year and while the galaxy might not arrive until
2:55
early 2019 i think we can all agree that
2:58
it's pretty funny that we're talking about a product called the galaxy from
3:02
an outlet called et news and now it's time for quick bits brought
3:07
to you by memory express whether you're a gamer business owner or literally
3:12
anyone else i mean we all need technology right memory express is your
3:16
go-to destination in canada for electronic products and services if it
3:20
uses electricity there's a good chance memory express carries it plus with uber
3:24

3:28
difference both in store and online check the link below chick that's like

3:38
now on to the rapid small morsels the
3:42
iOS 12 public beta is now available for download welcome news for those who
3:47
wanted to try its plethora of new features without paying 99 for the less
3:52
polished developer preview the full version is expected in september just in
3:58
time for incredibly vain selfies with a backdrop of fall foliage
4:03
if you find yourself in south korea don't try to sell video game cheats as
4:08
one man who sold overwatch cheats for a total of about a hundred and eighty
4:12
thousand us dollars who is paying for game cheats
4:16
he was handed a one-year suspended prison sentence and two years of
4:21
probation although this shouldn't be that surprising considering that esports
4:25
are important enough over there to make up part of the
4:29
soul of korea oh wow who wrote this
4:33
don't look at me the state of florida is creating a
4:36
position for a so-called cryptocurrency
4:40
czar in order to figure out how financial
4:44
laws apply to bitcoin and other digital currencies
4:50
and to crack down on schemes involving crypto given the state's large retiree
4:55
population that they feel might be vulnerable to such scams
5:01
with all that said i don't know how much i trust a state government that
5:04
accidentally made all computers and smartphones illegal a few years back
5:10
your wi-fi might be getting a little safer as the wi-fi alliance just rolled
5:14
out wpa 3 the successor to the currently
5:18
widespread wpa2 security standard that
5:21
was thought to be quite secure until the
5:24
crack that's crack with a k vulnerability reared its ugly head back
5:29
in 2016. it also promises a way to choose easy to remember passwords so
5:34
that's great news because i guess i can keep using socks and sandals 6969
5:39
and for a bit of potentially disappointing news a report from germany
5:43
claims that some monitor manufacturers are using 4k panels in their 1440p
5:50
monitors when they're a little short on 1440p panels yes no
5:56
this might sound like a good idea like hey
5:59
extra case right but it's actually terrible because it
6:04
means that when you're running at what you think is the native resolution of
6:07
your monitor you are actually going to be like down sampling it which can cause
6:12
the entire image to be blurry especially for text and
6:17
don't expect to be been able to be able to enable 4k functionality somehow
6:23
because it is locked down in the firmware don't you just love
6:28
not being able to use the things that you don't own or that you do own i mean
6:32
i don't have one of those monitors i don't own it but maybe you do and that's
6:36
it for today join us again on friday at tgi fridays for some mozzarella sticks
