trust me kid i've been hunting for tech news in these
0:04
parts for a long time and uh whoa is it
0:07
dangerous it's deadly
0:11
now there's an age-old debate about whether apple products live up to the
0:15
hype but a new report suggests that apple has been pulling the wool or could
0:20
it be apple skin over our eyes with regard to
0:24
battery life on the iphone a consumer
0:27
advocacy group based in the uk is claiming that after testing nine iphone
0:33
models literally all of them fell significantly short of apple's claimed
0:38
battery life with respect to talk time
0:41
now according to the report the iphone 10r showed the biggest discrepancy
0:46
between the actual talk time and apple spec sheet only lasting about 16 and a
0:52
half hours instead of the advertised 25.
0:55
now apple put out a rather generic statement about how it stands behind its
1:00
claims in response but to be fair to
1:03
them the uk watchdog group didn't reveal its testing methodology so
1:08
maybe the issue is that they were i don't know uh holding it wrong
1:13
now if you were excited to get your paws on AMD's new third gen threadripper chip
1:18
you might be in for a bit of a wait it's gonna be a heavy one
1:23
a couple of months ago AMD indicated that their latest behemoth in their
1:27
high-end desktop lineup would be ready sometime in 2019 but the focus seems to
1:32
be firmly on the higher volume more consumer-oriented 3rd gen ryzen series
1:38
which should be dropping sometime this summer although both the upcoming ryzen
1:42
and threadripper chips will be using the seven nanometer manufacturing process
1:46
there is some speculation that this new process might not have the capacity to
1:50
handle all of the new chips that AMD is pushing out especially when you consider
1:55
that AMD is also using it for their new server processors and for their gpus so
2:02
here's the deal then if you really need to rip threads before 2020 you can go to
2:06
your local fabric store and get a seam ripper which is lame not quite
2:12
the same thing but hey you can make cool cut off jeans
2:16
now remember when the best looking desktop mac that you could buy looked
2:19
kind of like darth vader's
2:22
garbage can well i think it's safe to assume that apple learned from pushing
2:27
out a design that not only looked kind of funny but was very difficult to
2:30
upgrade much to the chagrin of their professional level customers so we're
2:34
all excited to see what apple has up its sleeve at next month's worldwide
2:38
developer conference probably not this look uh where sources say that apple
2:42
will be coming out with a new mac pro along with an HDR mini led monitor to go
2:47
alongside it no word yet on what the new system will
2:50
look like but i'm calling it now
2:54
it's gonna look like a dumpster when you upgrade it yeah
2:58
like a bigger stronger garbage can now for the quack butts brought to you by
3:03
the drop.com x focal elex headphones
3:06
they feature the same precise development as other four figure focal
3:10
headphones made at their facility in france and the elexas are handmade and
3:14
individually numbered featuring an open back design full range 40 millimeter
3:18
dynamic drivers with aluminium magnesium cones microfiber ear pads and both
3:24
quarter inch and xlr plugs check them out today at the link in the video
3:27
description now quack butts have you ever felt like your water cooling setup
3:31
needed some freaking laser beams well thanks to alphacool your wish
3:37
has been granted as the manufacturer is now offering laser fittings that will
3:42
show you where your tubing runs should go making measuring them a little less
3:46
difficult if you're one of those hardline tubing folks it uses standard
3:51
fittings and you can pick one up now for about 10 euros just don't expect it to
3:56
fry your adversaries yet
4:01
facebook is reportedly using large numbers of paid contractors to look at
4:06
users facebook posts regardless of their
4:10
privacy settings to help develop ai systems
4:13
now although it might be understandable that facebook wants better insights into
4:17
user behavior the timing is just pretty
4:20
unfortunate on the heels of zucks the future is private talk so it's like
4:26
the future is private except when we don't want it to be and we pay other
4:30
people to make it not private hey look at these oculus headsets
4:35
microsoft's new chromium-based edge browser will come with an internet
4:39
explorer mode for folks who just gosh darn miss internet explorer no who
4:44
really need to access legacy sites that don't play nicely with modern browsers
4:49
although the feature honestly does kind of make sense
4:53
especially for enterprise users who might need to work with older standards
4:57
or access internal systems that are just not available on the world wide web
5:01
anyway so why bother upgrading them it's just uh
5:04
it's just funny because it turns out that ie is actually proving to be harder
5:08
to kill than a nokia 3310 why won't you
5:11
die now the internet was in an uproar recently over just how awful the
5:16
realistic cgi sonic the hedgehog it really was just
5:20
stupendously bad wasn't it so how awful the realistic sonic looked
5:25
in the in the trailer for the upcoming live action movie so much so that the
5:30
director actually relented and promised
5:33
fans a redesign so the film which is being produced by paramount is set to
5:37
hit theaters in november so i'm guessing that the uh the studio folks in charge
5:42
of the character design gotta you might say
5:46
go really fast gotta go fast yeah i got whatever whatever whatever i'm gonna
5:50
watch detective pikachu i'm not even gonna watch the sonic one because they
5:53

6:10
pokemon go tie-in to help promote the film starting tomorrow the detective
6:15
