tech news videos are awesome but they're even awesomer when they're sponsored by
0:03
lastpass because this one is so they call wednesday hump day apparently and
0:08
it looks like NVIDIA is finally going to get over the hump and drop its next-gen
0:12
touring graphics cards for consumers through a teaser video entitled before
0:17
the game NVIDIA has teased the arrival of the new
0:20
gpus on the 20th of august the top end card will almost certainly be called the
0:24
GeForce rtx 2080 with the r indicating
0:28
that the card will have better support for ray tracing including microsoft's
0:31
new directx ray tracing API it isn't
0:34
clear yet though if gtx branded cards will still exist alongside rtx perhaps
0:39
as a stack of lower end products without the extra ray tracing support but no
0:44
word yet on pricing the 2070 2060 and so
0:47
on are expected in the months following i'm still confused about that slogan
0:51
though is it b for the game like not
0:54
against games or is it b for the game
0:58
like dedicate your very soul to the game
1:02
i don't think it's for i don't think it's before the game the rapper that
1:05
doesn't make any sense if you normally enjoy TechLinked or anything else on
1:09
youtube on a smartphone you might want to check out a new web page from youtube
1:12
called device report the streaming giant has set up the page to give users a list
1:16
of smartphones that it calls signature devices according to youtube
1:21
these phones have undergone internal testing for reliability and performance
1:25
and also support a number of features that are prerequisites
1:28
prerequisites for inclusion in the program
1:33
prerequisites so these
1:36
features are 4k decoding HDR support 360
1:40
degree video high frame rates the use of modern codecs and a flare for the
1:45
sophisticated things in life unsurprisingly flagship devices such as
1:48
the google pixel 2 samsung galaxy s9 and lg v30 made the list but no iphones are
1:54
anywhere to be found which is strange because if any phone is a flair for
1:58
fanciness it's iphones Intel has another black eye
2:02
when it comes to processor security as it still tries to deal with fixing the
2:06
spectre and meltdown bugs that made headlines earlier this year a new
2:09
vulnerability called foreshadow has reared its ugly head such fun names
2:14
for these super dangerous security problems
2:17
the next one will be called like mooncake or something like spectre and
2:21
meltdown foreshadow exploits a predictive feature called speculative
2:25
execution but foreshadow is a little different in that it can attack a secure
2:30
enclave which are parts of the CPU that are separated from the rest of the chip
2:34
so that any malware affecting the os can't touch sensitive data or code
2:39
although the issue can be resolved somewhat with microcode updates it
2:42
appears that unsurprisingly it'll come with a performance hit the good news is
2:47
that if you're in the market for a new CPU Intel's new 9th gen parts should fix
2:51
the problem when they come out later this year although technically if this were a
2:56
thriller movie that could be foreshadowing for them not fixing the
2:59
problem speaking of quick things it's time for quick bits sponsored by
3:03
lastpass lastpass relieves the troubles of remembering your passwords and
3:06
reduces anxiety about getting locked out of accounts and then waiting for that
3:10
atrocious reset password email especially when you thought your
3:13
password was so great and now it's gone it's just gone look
3:19
your passwords are terrible well you don't need to write remember or reset
3:22
them anymore because lastpass allows you to keep track of your passwords so you
3:26
can stay sane and secure it's also got unlimited password storage free
3:30
cross-device sync password breach alert and multi-factor authentication so put
3:36
your passwords on autopilot with lastpass and click the link below to
3:40
find out more whoa where'd my hair go
3:44
anyways it's time for quick bits the uk's advertising standards authority has
3:48
called amazon out for marking products with one day delivery and then failing
3:52
to actually deliver them in one day amazon clarified that it means one day
3:57
after dispatch but i'm sure that's not much comfort to those who are kept
4:00
waiting for their toilet paper shipment and who need help with a dispatch of
4:05
their own potty humor a new law has been signed
4:10
that limits the number of drivers that can work for ride-sharing companies like
4:13
uber or lyft in new york city it's the latest in a long-running battle between
4:17
ride-sharing apps and taxi services but if it becomes too difficult to hail a
4:21
ride i hear that watching the rats scurry around the subway can be pretty
4:24
entertaining it's not gonna help you get anywhere
4:28
though john wrote the script that sounds fun though 5g is getting
4:33
close to showing up on smartphones as samsung has recently released a new
4:37
modem for mobile devices that can achieve speeds of up to six gigabits per
4:42
second whoa whoa but even if your carrier won't support 5g right off the
4:46
bat the modem can still get up to over 1.5 gigabits over lte advanced although
4:53
real world speeds will probably be a fair bit slower it looks like we're
4:56
getting closer to the incredibly important dream of snapchat in 4k that
5:00
sounded like sarcasm the market for video games in china appears to be
5:04
stagnating as the authorities in beijing haven't approved any new games for
5:08
months now a trend which could continue as there is currently a freeze on new
5:12
approvals caused by a reorganization within the chinese government the good
5:16
old people's republic screens games for what it considers subversive content
5:20
before they can be published and while some babies are thrown out with a bath
5:23
water they're also opposed to loot boxes so maybe they could find some common
5:28
ground with western gamers over the whole battlefront 2 debacle
5:32
and anhoyzer boosh i think that's how you say it is
5:36
deploying a number of wi-fi enabled fridges containing free bud light around
5:40
the cleveland ohio area which are
5:44
kept chained up by internet connected magnets the fridges are only unlocked if
5:48
the cleveland browns can find a way to win a game
5:52
and wow you guys got that joke and if you aren't an nfl fan the cruel joke
5:57
here is that the long-suffering browns have only managed four victories in the
6:01
last three seasons and that's not very many
6:05
is it sports and that's the tech news join us back
6:09
here on friday for more great taste with
6:12
only 110 calories per episode you'll be saying
6:16
give me some of that news
6:22
that was an ad-lib see you later
