0:04
tech news time currently right now one of the biggest
0:08
tech events of the year is happening it's called ifa
0:12
international phronics association it's
0:15
in berlin i don't know what it stands for but we do know acer put up a heck of
0:19
a showing at the event first off the triton 900 convertible gaming laptop one
0:23
of if not the first gaming machine to use the two in one style flippy screen
0:28
so you can finally prove to your friends that you can game without looking very
0:32
impressive the predator x desktop on the other hand is a gaming desktop with two
0:36
Intel xeon cpus and up to 12 ecc memory
0:40
slots slightly overkill but it's obviously meant for users that would
0:44
actually use that power professionals or streamers who need lots of multitasking
0:48
the swift 7 is now the world's thinnest laptop apparently and the swift 5 is the
0:53
world's lightest 15-inch laptop but where is the world's humblest laptop you
0:57
know a lot of big talk not a big talk here
1:01
moving on acer also debuted the oho 500
1:04
mixed reality headset headset you can detach the visor for cleaning and it
1:08
automatically adjusts to your pupillary distance apparently
1:12
what do you think your pupillary distance is four
1:16
i get mine measured at the optimum interest that's right
1:19
nice good answer and last but not least acer showed the
1:24
thronos gaming cockpit with three
1:27
monitor mounts tilt control and vibration it's the ultimate way to tell
1:31
your mom to leave you alone you're very busy right now can't be bothered dell
1:35
also showed off new laptops at ifa but they're mostly refreshes with the new
1:39
Intel laptop CPU so we're skipping those for now what is this the laptop show you
1:43
know sometimes tech news hey remember smartwatches you
1:48
might now since google just upgraded wear os in a major way with wear os 1.6
1:54
bringing changes to nearly every interface notifications are stacked
1:57
vertically just like Android and other elements like google assistant also feel
2:00
like Android has been watchified new wear os watches are coming to market
2:05
with the update including skagen's faulster ii
2:08
yup a minimalist swim proof model and
2:11
casio's pro-tec wsd f30 a more rugged
2:15
outdoorsy model with a 30-day battery apparently i still feel like the biggest
2:18
obstacle to wear os is simply how big the watches are and how
2:23
small the screens are you know what you should add some notches and dual cameras
2:27
then they start they'll start selling like hotcakes speaking of watches
2:31
facebook is now rolling out facebook watch internationally the video service
2:35
has been live in the us for a year hosting shows made exclusively for that
2:38
platform but now everyone in the world will have access creators will also have
2:42
increased opportunity to make revenue from content on watch with 55 of the
2:46
revenue from ad breaks going to the creators with the rest going to facebook
2:50
the platform will look to differentiate itself from youtube or other streaming
2:53
services with features that allow viewers to interact while watching
2:57
together running polls challenges and quizzes live honestly that's what i've
3:02
been missing this whole time how am i supposed to enjoy a show if i don't have
3:05
a quiz popping up on screen sounds like a terrible idea like there's
3:09
a dramatic moment did you know that's the director's lamp in the background
3:13
i'll stick with Floatplane thanks it's time for quick bits brought
3:19

Intel has launched their 8th gen whiskey lake laptop cpus they're calling them
4:23
8th gen still because they're basically kb lake cpus with a few optimizations
4:27
and better wi-fi but importantly they're coming with some fixes for the spectre
4:32
meltdown and foreshadow vulnerabilities so if you're looking for a laptop look
4:36
for the ones with the new chips chip fabricator global foundries is pausing
4:40
development on its seven nanometer process so AMD has switched over to tsmc
4:45
for its seven nanometer chip development global foundries will now focus on
4:49
optimizing its 12 and 14 nanometer processes for markets other than high
4:53
performance computing and that's okay not everyone is built to be on the
4:57
leading edge of chip development i mean just look at Intel
5:00
whoa what is that yeah as a burn
5:04
it's a sick burn guys roast it oh
5:08
elite 3d benchmark of what could be an rtx 2080 has popped up on the web
5:12
showing the unreleased GPU scoring about 35 higher than the current gen gtx 1080
5:18
and 5 higher than the 1080 ti so
5:22
maybe NVIDIA isn't being too enthusiastic about the hype maybe we
5:25
maybe we should pre-order i mean the numbers are there
5:30
it must be amazing don't do it dude bad idea
5:33
no i don't know no oh
5:38
great defense distributed the 3d printed gun company has been forbidden by a
5:42
federal court order from publishing the blueprints to its gun so the owner is
5:46
selling copies on usb drives instead for a suggested price of 10 bucks each the
5:51
company has already gotten 20 000 in sales so this is either
5:55
great for freedom or terrible for everyone yeah
6:00
right now i'm kind of leading towards the second one but we're we're canadian so it's like i wouldn't trust we don't
6:06
yeah guns are already dangerous and then you 3d print them that's a whole nother
6:10
