it's monday and hopefully you've got some excitement to start your week Intel
0:03
certainly tried to drum up some of its own at its desktop launch event in new
0:07
york this morning as the company announced a new lineup of desktop chips
0:11
focused on gaming and content creation highlights included a new 28 core 56
0:16
thread xeon and an updated x-series lineup with 68 platform pci express 3.0
0:21
lanes bigger cache sizes and soldered thermal interface material to help with
0:25
overclocking the biggest news for gamers was probably the 9th gen core chips for
0:30
desktop with the flagship and much rumored and leaked i9 9900k featuring 8
0:35
cores 16 threads and a clock speed of 5 gigahertz as well as the aforementioned
0:39
soldered tim although you'll have to wait until november and december for the
0:43
x-series and xeon parts respectively the new core i9s can be pre-ordered today
0:48
with availability and shipping on october 19th well i guess we'll have to
0:52
wait for the oh
0:56
james isn't here i'm here oh dennis
0:59
yeah yes i'm not i'm leaving though oh
1:03
so am i so as we reported in our last episode the Windows 10 october update
1:07
has come under fire after many users have claimed that the update is randomly
1:11
deleting their personal files although microsoft is calling the user reports
1:15
isolated they've decided to yank the october update and stop rolling it out
1:19
while they attempt to fix the issue and have even claimed that microsoft support
1:23
can recover those deleted files even though
1:27
everybody else can't seem to see why that would be possible although losing
1:30
important personal data without warning is certainly cause for alarm just by
1:33
itself users are also reporting that certain apps from the Windows store
1:37
including the edge web browser no longer connect to the internet after the update
1:41
was installed we don't know yet when the issues will be fixed but we can only
1:45
hope that the update to the update will be a little less
1:49
disappointing another flagship phone launch is just around the corner we've
1:52
already got the iphone 10s the google pixel 3 is all but certain to be
1:56
announced tomorrow and now the oneplus 6t will be shown off to the world on
2:01
october 30th according to an official announcement from the company rumors
2:05
about its features are currently circulating including the ever popular
2:08
notch albeit one smaller than what you'd find in an iphone usbc and the ability
2:13
to unlock using facial recognition interestingly the phone will also have a
2:17
fingerprint reader buried inside the screen however oneplus will be ditching
2:21
the headphone jack so be prepared to dongle yourself
2:26
thanks apple the oneplus 6t will probably set you back around 500 us
2:30
dollars but more details will be forthcoming at the launch event in new
2:33
york at the end of the month and now it's time for quick bits brought to you
2:37
by synergy if you're an it professional or a power user who uses two or more
2:41
computers at the same time that run a different operating system on each
2:44
computer like Windows Linux or macOS you could have a severe mouse and
2:49
keyboard problem you probably have a bunch of mice and keyboards strewn
2:52
across your desk but then you forget which mouse or keyboard goes to what and
2:55
you just why is this why things this way
2:59
synergy is a software download that combines your desktop computers together

australia you might find that your apple watch is behaving as if it's just been
3:19
on the receiving end of a kangaroo's foot as many apple watch fours in
3:23
australia are suffering from reboot loops after the recent daylight saving
3:27
times uh clock adjustment apparently because the virtual watch face can't
3:31
deal with a day that appears to be an hour short and it's not even clear if a
3:34
fix is coming that's dumb if you've ever been tempted
3:38
to cheat at fortnite this might be enough to dissuade you attackers are
3:42
intentionally targeting would-be cheaters but not as some sort of weird
3:46
vigilante crusade rather they're using youtube videos to distribute what are
3:50
supposedly cheats such as aimbots but are actually exes that have stolen user
3:55
data as well as cryptocurrency so remember that cheaters never win i mean
4:01
they sometimes win no i'm sure many of you have been looking forward to playing
4:04
assassin's creed odyssey but many users are still having issues as ubisoft
4:08
servers have been hit with several ddos attacks although ubisoft said the
4:12
problem has been dealt with lots of users are still having connection
4:16
problems especially frustrating as it's a single player game that requires an
4:20
internet connection spacex has pulled off its first ever ground landing on the
4:24
u.s west coast with its falcon 9 rocket landing safely in california although
4:28
this isn't elon musk's first landing near the pacific coast it's the first
4:32
that's on good old terra firma instead of out on the ocean that means land i
4:36
guess this marks a nice milestone for the company as it shows it won't have to
4:40
rely on waterborne drone ships in order to land its craft and in case you don't
4:44
already feel like your smartphone has a mind of its own it can now crawl around
4:48
your table thanks to the moby lim robotic ARM which attaches via usb and
4:54
can be programmed to your heart's content although it can provide haptic
4:58
feedback and manipulate real-world objects watching it scoot its way across
5:03
your desk really is delightfully unnerving
5:07
that's it for today guys to come back on wednesday for more tech news that's sure
5:10
to satisfy rather than unnerve
5:13
hopefully that's the goal love you guys so much see you later see
5:17
