0:08

0:13
NVIDIA might have thought they got the drop on AMD releasing the rtx 2060 and
0:18
2070 super a week before the Radeon rx 5700 and 5700 xt but really
0:24
team green just got played get right AMD is dropping the price of their upcoming
0:29
cards the rx 5700 will be 349 going up
0:32
against the rtx 2060 at the same price the rx 5700 xt will be 3.99 the same
0:38
price as the 2060 super and 100 less than the 499 2070 super and the
0:44
overclocked 5700 xt anniversary edition will be 449 still 50 dollars less than
0:50
the 2070 super and if leaked benchmarks of these navi based cards are accurate
0:55
the new price points will make AMD's cards quite competitive with 2nd gen
0:59
ryzen cpus getting price cuts ahead of the 3rd gen ryzen and new Radeon launch
1:04
this sunday AMD might be set to enjoy a nice weekend come on NVIDIA
1:09

1:31
anyways apple might have finally seen the light or listen to their users as
1:35
reports indicate the company is moving on from its almost universally disliked
1:39
macbook pro butterfly keyboard apple analyst which is apparently a job
1:45
sounds fun ming chi quo believes apple will
1:48
introduce a new keyboard using a scissor switch design beginning with a refreshed
1:53
macbook air to launch later this year followed by a macbook pro in 2020. all
1:58
three generations of apple's butterfly keyboards have been plagued with issues
2:01
caused by debris easily getting under the keycap and obstructing the switch
2:05
leading apple to institute a dedicated service program offering free keyboard
2:09
repairs did you make use of it no you
2:12
don't have a macbook no that's why no you know maybe this was the straw that
2:17
broke joni ives back like maybe he didn't understand that just because
2:21
something's beautiful doesn't mean it's not sucky did you ever
2:24
see the the apple mouse with the charging port on the bottom oh yeah yeah
2:30
don't get me started and g2a.com is responding to critics
2:34
calling for gamers to pirate games rather than buy them from the online
2:38
game store those critics include developers who say many of the game keys
2:42
available on g2a are purchased using stolen credit cards which means game
2:46
makers potentially lose revenue from those sales in their response g2a said
2:51
they're no different from other marketplaces like amazon or ebay and
2:55
that if suspected fake keys are reported and they find the keys are illegally
2:59
obtained they'll remove them block the seller and report it to the authorities
3:04
g2a even announced that it will ask an independent auditing company to examine
3:08
whether there's any funny business going on behind the scenes this whole thing is
3:11
only the latest tussle in the saga of whether g2a is sketchy or not and
3:16
despite their reasonable defense when we've been talking about their sketchiness for this long probably a
3:21
little sketchy yeah just a little bit i mean where there's smoke there's fire oh
3:25
yeah unless it's just unless it's just smoke and you're just
3:28
like smoking steam smoking salmons steaming steamed steamed hams yes
3:34

4:23
love you amazon can be held liable for third-party products sold on its website
4:27
if a ruling from a philadelphia court of appeals is upheld that means customers
4:31
could sue amazon directly if they buy third-party products which account for
4:35
around half of all items on the store that turn out to be defective quick
4:40
philadelphians buy all the cheap knockoff stuff you can find there's gold
4:44
in them there jungle
4:47
you get it amazon oh the amazon yeah amazon jungle there's golden yeah okay
4:52
moving on well i guess we found out why apple issued a recall for some 2015
4:56
macbooks last month they could explode
4:59
okay not not really maybe a designer posted images of his macbook pro after
5:05
it caught fire and it appears to be one of the models affected by the recall so
5:08
if you were dragging your feet on bringing your machine in maybe you know
5:13
call an uber like right now
5:16
or a taxi we don't have uber no we need uber we need please
5:21
give us uber vancouver call of vancouver vancouver vancouver
5:26
they should do that usually you don't have to go download a separate app to
5:29
get updates for your phone but apparently 10 million people didn't know
5:33
that that's how many people downloaded an app called updates for samsung which
5:38
actually did deliver the proper firmware updates but also charged 34.99 a year to
5:45
access them while filling the screen with advertisements
5:48
maybe we should make people have a license to use the play store you know
5:52
like a driver's license don't give him any ideas that's true i should never mind cancel
5:57
that tesla promised we'd have fully autonomous vehicles by next year but bmw
6:01
and mercedes are trying to be a bit more realistic the two car makers have
6:05
announced plans to release level four self-driving cars which can drive on the
6:09
autobahn and park themselves by 2024 but
6:13
by elon musk's estimation we'll have already uploaded our minds to the cloud
6:16
by that time so what's the point
6:22
we need self-driving cars in the computer and are you tired of
6:26
having literally every song ever made constantly at your fingertips go back to
6:31
the good old days with the world's first bluetooth audio cassette player it's
6:35
called the it's okay that's the name by a company named nim
6:41

6:45
