now look everybody just calm down there's no need to be scared of tech
0:05
news you just have to stand up straight
0:09
look it right in the eyes and show it who's the alpha james is in here you
0:13
gotta show it who's the alpha ah no no wait i'm not the alpha
0:18
after they were already leaked to the moon and back samsung finally took the
0:21
wraps off their newest flagship phones the galaxy note 10 and 10 plus starting
0:26
at 9 49 and 1099 respectively both phones are
0:31
powered by the seven nanometer qualcomm snapdragon 855 rather than the exynos
0:36
9825 that samsung just announced for some reason maybe qualcomm was like
0:41
holding them hostage with patent lawsuits or something i don't know but
0:45
here's the rundown the null plus gets a few bonuses other than its slightly
0:50
larger nearly bezel-less 6.8 inch
0:53
display including 45 watt super fast charging over USB-C 12 watt wireless
0:59
charging 12 gigs of RAM and a slightly larger 4300 milliamp hour battery
1:04
samsung apparently did go through with their stupid decision to remove the
1:09
headphone jack and i'm gonna get right back to crying about that after we
1:13
finish filming the camera has some interesting new ar features including
1:16
the ability to scan physical objects to create a 3d model and ar doodles which
1:21
is kind of like google's tilt brush vr but in a phone app and the s pen now has
1:27
gyro sensors to go along with its wireless charging and stuff so you can
1:31
use motion controls with your camera remotely in addition to just using the
1:36
pen as a shutter button like we used to be able to do back in the old days
1:40
samsung also talked about the galaxy watch active 2 the tab s6 and the
1:44
snapdragon 855 powered Windows 10 running galaxy book s but frankly those
1:50
are all far less interesting and i'm done talking about them now
1:54
nope i'm done i'm done toshiba has unveiled a new form factor
1:58
for NVMe ssds called xfm express it's
2:02
like radio but not like radio at all it's actually uh more like an sd card
2:07
than it is like radio but unlike a micro
2:11
sd card these new ssds will not be hot
2:14
swappable instead they're gonna have a specialized mount with a metal cover
2:19
which can only be accessed by opening up
2:22
the system that the card is installed in so these xfm express cards could
2:27
theoretically have a bandwidth of up to four gigabytes per second with the next
2:32
gen units expected to reach eight gigabytes per second
2:36
so that looks pretty cool but uh seeing as toshiba is rebranding their storage
2:41
division to kioxia yeah this fall
2:45
they might want to take a second look at the name of the cards because i look at it and i just see like
2:49
xfmx fmx yeah
2:53
radio turns out putting internet connectivity
2:57
in every doohookie that we own from lamps to baby toys might not have been
3:01
the best idea microsoft says that they have detected attacks on common internet
3:07
of things devices like printers and office phones by hackers that are
3:11
allegedly working for the russian government according to officials from
3:15
the microsoft threat intelligence center the hackers apparently are using these
3:20
iot devices as an initial point of ingress from which they can attempt to
3:24
gain further access to other devices on the network well
3:29
the joke's on them because i've got all my stupid iot devices segregated on
3:34
their own network and i'm just going to disconnect it from
3:37
the internet as soon as they break in there and then they'll be stuck oh
3:40
that's cool they'll be stuck inside my iot network it's like a black mirror
3:44
yeah it's like it's like a special hell of baby monitors
3:48
and doorbells i just got the xm radio
3:52
joke now it's time for the quark barfs
3:55
brought to you by thermal grizzly thermal paste we actually use their
3:58
cryonaut and liquid metal conductance pastes here at the office quite often
4:03
for our builds because both of them help deliver optimal heat transfer for larger
4:07
scale cooling systems and also small ones you know so there's that some of
4:11
the systems we build put out a ton of heat so dissipating that heat is of
4:14
critical importance so if you're an overclocker or just a regular person
4:19
thermal grizzly is an excellent choice for your cooling needs you can check out
4:22
both their products at amazon through the link below
4:25
cork barks that sounds nasty Intel has released a bunch of details
4:30
about their 14 nanometer cooper lake server processors which will have models
4:35
with up to apparently 56 cores
4:38
now that was also true of its predecessor cascade lake ap but whereas
4:44
those processors were soldered to the motherboard cooper lake will be socketed
4:49
and will even be able to accommodate future 10 nanometer ice lake processors
4:54
on its lga 4198 socket when they launch
4:58
it in 2020. i wish i could say that AMD
5:01
was shaking in their epic boots but
5:06
they don't wear i've never seen dr sue wear boots and if she did wear boots i'm
5:10
sure they'd be made for walking and that's just what they'd do
5:14
watch out spacex has gotten a lot of praise for landing and reusing their
5:19
rockets so another space flight company rocket lab is apparently going to try
5:23
their hand at it albeit with a slightly different
5:27
approach as the startup's rocket re-enters the
5:30
atmosphere it will deploy a parachute which will then be hooked by a
5:34
helicopter that comes out to meet it the
5:37
chopper will then return with its little present and uh yeah that's a little
5:42
jankier but you know what i say whatever we got to do to make our way to building
5:47
a real millennium falcon you know so stepping stones look what a couple years
5:52
a couple more years and oh wait really another spectre
5:57
vulnerability is not what you should say
6:00
because apparently microsoft already patched it one year ago bitdefender
6:04
identified and reported a serious flaw in all Intel cpus since 2012 and now
6:10
that the flaw has been patched they are announcing it to the public so if your
6:14
Windows pc got the july security update you're protected and the vulnerability
6:19
is apparently unfeasible to exploit on other operating systems plus you know
6:24
macs don't get viruses so yeah they're great
6:29
nintendo reportedly isn't stopping at the switch light or the rumored switch
6:33
pro according to the wall street journal the company is planning even more switch
6:38
models down the road i think they're going to call them switchbacks
6:43
what because it's down the road don't worry about it these future switches may come
6:47
with sharp exo displays featuring resolutions higher than 1080p and we can
6:51
only hope that they come with some exciting new code names as well like
6:54
switch heavy switch xtreme the mega
6:58
switch switch and in a games industry infected with
7:02
mystery loot boxes nintendo sony and microsoft have announced in partnership
7:07
with the esa that they will now require games to disclose the probabilities of
7:12
obtaining randomized items from such boxes the rules are expected to be
7:17
implemented in 2020 and rocket league developer psionics which is now owned by
7:22
epic games has gone one further saying they will phase out mystery crates
7:27
completely by the end of the year see riley there's hope you love rocket
7:31
league there's hope for the system i thought i was feeling fine why did you want to
7:35
burn the whole thing down i didn't want to do that
7:39
and it's time to burn down this episode of techlink because it's over buy a
7:43
shirt subscribe come back on friday so you don't miss any tech news how else
