J James introduce me and here's your host our good friend Riley Tech hey what
0:07
That's Not My Name the people's names aren't just their first names and then the company they work for what what when
0:13
the switch came out there were a few rumors about Nintendo developing VR
0:17
attachments for the portable console but since the switch has a 720p screen no
0:22
one really took them that seriously well apparently Nintendo did the company has
0:27
unveiled the Nintendo labo VR kit which which is basically a Google cardboard
0:31
headset with a number of fun attachments there's a gun camera and an elephant
0:38
face and you can even put your face in a bird's butt just to see what it's like
0:42
have you seen this I was trying to think of
0:46
something you don't know what I'm talking about I can't imagine that this
0:50
makes for a super immersive virtual reality experience but hey people
0:54
thought the whole labo concept was a little silly when it came out but then
0:57
it turned out to be pretty cool for kids and at 40 bucks for the starter set and
1:01
80 for the complete kit it's less than some Lego sets and you might even avoid
1:06
headaches and nausea if you only use it for 10 minutes at a time sign me
1:12
up NVIDIA really wants you to buy more expensive gaming Hardware but not just
1:17
because they want more money because science wow sounds convincing please go
1:22
on okay I will okay NVIDIA published a
1:25
study comparing Gamers kill death ratios in games to the power of their graph
1:29
graphics card and monitor and concluded that Gamers with higher-end graphics
1:34
cards like the RTX 2080 TI and monitors that support refresh rates of 144 Hertz
1:39
or more have higher KD ratios uh-huh so
1:44
having higher-end Hardware will give you an advantage in Battle Royale games and
1:48
the like you think Sherlock the problem here is that NVIDIA is sort of
1:52
insinuating without saying it outright that buying more expensive Hardware will
1:56
make you better at games without really acknowledging that people who play more
2:00
games are probably more likely to a be better at them already and B buy better
2:06
Hardware now they did try to address this with a graph that shows that even
2:09
when Gamers play the same number of hours per week those with GTX 1080 TI
2:14
did better than those with GTX 1050 TI
2:17
except that still only describes a correlation not causation James no
2:23
that's basic come on measuring Gamers KD
2:26
ratios before and after they switch from a 60 HZ to a 100 44 HZ monitor that
2:31
could have worked you know what they should have just gone with something like cool Gamers choose the RTX 2080 TI
2:38
oo now that's fresh L Cool GPU and
2:41
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has published a statement detailing
2:44
Facebook's vision for transitioning into a privacy focused platform despite the
2:49
fact that they are Facebook Zuckerberg says privacy is a big reason Facebook is
2:54
integrating and encrypting the messaging services of messenger Instagram and
2:58
WhatsApp but this move to tie the the company services together comes at the
3:01
same time that politicians in the US are starting to talk about breaking Facebook
3:05
up and doing the same to other Tech giants like Amazon and Google the
3:09
argument is that these companies have managed to secure monopolies on multiple
3:13
online platforms and to protect consumers it might be necessary to
3:17
reverse mergers like Amazon's acquisition of Whole Foods and
3:21
Facebook's purchase of Instagram I'm not saying this this is what people are
3:24
saying settle down until they sort all
3:27
that out I say we all just hang out on Twitter they're not making any money so
3:31
they're not monopolizing anything except limited character count hot
3:37
takes it's time for quick bits brought to you by seic these guys have been
3:41
making power supplies for longer than most of YouTube's audience have been
3:44
alive so trust me they know what they're doing and power supplies are the heart
3:49
of your PC so you want to make sure you get an efficient unit with solid
3:52
performance also they look pretty cool in this video we're showing always a
3:56
plus bottom line guys if you need a power supply for your new build or
4:00
replacement or upgrade you better make it see Sonic if you're a smart person
4:04
check them out at the link below you know what I could use right about now James what's that some don't say it some
4:11
piping hot don't delicious quick bits a zero day security flaw in Chrome
4:17
has been identified by Google who are now telling all users to update their
4:21
browsers right this minute always wait to be clear Windows 10 users who are
4:25
updated should be completely safe but if you're running Windows 7 even updating
4:29
your Chrome may not leave you fully protected so maybe consider upgrading to
4:34
Windows 10 I I I know I know I'm you hey
4:39
you do you you know whatever I'm not trying to tell you what to do you just
4:42
saying I'm going down with the ship it's Windows 7 till I die Sony has added
4:47
Remote Play for iOS to PS4 meaning iPhone and iPad users can now stream
4:52
PlayStation 4 games over their home network to their mobile devices
4:55
unfortunately iOS devices don't support the dual shock 4 controller so you'll be
4:59
stuck with third party Bluetooth controllers or even worse the onscreen
5:04
controls yeah also Apple didn't allow
5:07
the steam link app because it could stream games from a PC so how is this
5:12
different some new leaks are adding fuel to the rumors of more GTX 16 series
5:17
cards from NVIDIA namely the GTX 1660
5:20
that's the non-ti version the MSI variant of which showed up online thanks
5:24
to videoc cards.com but budget Gamers might want to hold on a bit even when
5:28
that releases because as GPU prices are reportedly set to drop in the coming
5:32
months as vendors try to clear out old inventory be patient my friends no
5:38
pre-ordering and also tell that to Colton he's a bad man T-Mobile says it
5:42
really wants to provide 5G powered home internet and it would be really cool you
5:47
guys it's just that it will be really hard to do if their merger with Sprint
5:51
isn't approved yeah it might make the industry more monopolistic but it would
5:55
be really cool you guys don't you want to see a cool 5G home network
6:01
come on and PC Gamers might want to roll back their Windows update if they're
6:05
experiencing issues in games right now Microsoft has reportedly identified a
6:08
number of issues causing graphics and mouse performance degradation unless
6:13
you're a sucker for punishment in which case you are not invidious target
6:16
audience why can't they just do it right you know the first time it's simple
6:22
Microsoft just do it right the first time like we do here at Tech every time
6:27
like next time it's one take all right that's it for EP episodes that's it for
6:31
episodes that kind of disproved what I
6:34
just said that we do it right the first time
