now you guys might think that talking tech news isn't a lot of work but uh
0:05
think again bucko unless you're one of those people who's into
0:09
technicalities because yes okay the amount of force that i exert on my jaw
0:14
and the distance that it moves is not a lot of work in like a physics sense but
0:18
not much it's this isn't a physics show it's a tech show
0:22
and we're going to talk about tech now we
0:26
said again and again not to order NVIDIA's new rtx graphics cards until
0:31
you had seen the reviews and now the reviews are out including my alter ego
0:38
lioness tech tips review and depending on your situation
0:44
you might want to wait a little longer as we thought might happen while
0:48
performance in games and professional applications is frankly great for the
0:52
rtx 2080 and 2080 ti there is still
0:56
nothing currently available that can use the card's shiny new ray tracing and
1:02
dlss capabilities games should start
1:05
getting rtx patches in october but last i checked it's not october and
1:10
until then we have no idea whether all the hype about rtx is worth it i mean
1:15
even tom's hardware finished off their review saying that the cards aren't
1:20
something we'd rush to jump into right now so i guess they're okay with living
1:26
at least a little bit more of their life without ray tracing now that they know
1:30
that you're going to be living that much of your life without ray tracing regardless of whether you have the
1:34
hardware yeah so there's a great roundup of reviews in
1:37
an LTT forum post linked in the description so go check that out for all the coverage
1:41
spacex and elon musk have revealed late on monday the identity of the mysterious
1:46
passenger that will be going around the moon on the company's bfr rocket

japanese billionaire yusaku miyazawa how
1:55
would i do there the founder of japanese fashion retailer
1:58
zozo town i've never heard his own suntan but he won't be going it alone
2:03
miazawa will apparently choose six to eight other artists to accompany him on
2:08
his trip in hopes that they will be inspired to create
2:12
earth-shattering works of art and then presumably post them on social
2:17
media with the hashtag dearm really dear moon lordy tests with the bfr
2:23
aren't supposed to begin until mid 2019 with the first uncrewed flights to mars
2:27
in 2022 and crude flights two years after that i know i'd be on a crude
2:32
flight anyway with all that said who knows what twitter and instagram will look like in
2:37
2024 and is that is it really the best use of a moon capable rocket to post on
2:43
