listen up tech news is important and you
0:04
know what so are you Elon Musk has
0:08
revealed more details about his brain computer interface company near a link
0:12
during a live stream last night musk showed off neural links progress in
0:16
developing their system which consists of an n1 chip connected to many threads
0:22
thinner than a human hair these threads would be sewn by a sci-fi looking
0:27
surgical robot into the cortex of the brain being placed right next to real
0:33
neurons so they can detect neural signals and then they would connect to
0:38
an intramural implant just behind the ear and then that implant would then
0:43
communicate wirelessly through the skin with an external wearable link pod that
0:49
would house a Bluetooth radio and about it we're all going to be pod people
0:52
importantly without the link the implant
0:56
is basically inert so musk claimed during the livestream that during
1:00
testing on a monkey the primate was able to control a computer with its brain and
1:06
mirrorlink has petitioned the FDA to start human trials next year Oh Elon
1:12
what crazy scheme will you come up with next
1:17
he's already working on that pci express 4.0 is exclusive to Andy's X
1:23
570 motherboard platform at the moment sort of because last week a sous made it
1:30
seem like they were gonna be bringing the feature to some older motherboards
1:33
as well uh-oh small problem with that
1:36
AMD apparently shut down that plan so
1:40
this is the latest development in a story of flip-flopping Two Cities so the am DNA
1:47
system tale of calif originally AMD said
1:51
that 300 and 400 series motherboards could support PCIe 4.0 but then they
1:58
came out and said they would not enable support then a sous was like oh no you
2:02
didn't and released a list of their boards that could support the feature
2:07
with BIOS updates and then apparently they got a stern
2:11
finger wagging for me m.d. about that because enabling the feature on older
2:16
boards could cause reliability and consistency issues that would of course
2:21
potentially reflect badly on AMD so PCIe
2:25
4.0 is being disabled in all future a.m.
2:29
for motherboard biases for the older generation boards which this is
2:34
important to note Ryzen 3000 series owners and of course you need a Ryzen
2:38
3000 series chip in order to run PCIe 4 would of course need because older
2:44
BIOS's wouldn't necessarily work with the new chips and in fact there are even
2:48
some bugs on the BIOS's that do support the new chips that have prevented people
2:52
from booting their machines or lunching destiny 2 or what-have-you
2:56
now one bit of good news on the AMD front is that if you're one of those
3:00
people that's having issues with your system because your BIOS on your older
3:04
board doesn't support your new chip AMD is offering free boot loan kits
3:08
containing a cheap Athlon CPU so you can boot up with that update your system
3:13
BIOS then install your new CPU and ship the cheap one back to AMD it is a little
3:18
complicated but we think maybe aim to use just a little like drunk with power
3:22
from being at the top of the food chain for once
3:25
top of the drink chain in a not
3:28
unexpected turn of events Facebook is being chewed out by the US government
3:32
the internet giant was just handed a five billion dollar fine by the FTC or
3:38
in the Cambridge analytical scandal and some senators are even saying that that
3:43
isn't enough so a few of them sent a letter to the FTC calling their fine
3:47
woefully inadequate and asking about the
3:51
process that was used to determine the amount Facebook's David Marcus also had
3:56
to face some sick burns from the Senate
3:59
in a hearing yesterday when senator sherrod Brown compared Facebook to a
4:04
toddler who has gotten their hands on a book of matches and burned the house
4:09
down over and over they also said it was
4:13
delusional to think that people should trust Facebook with their money so on
4:17
the whole it's clear that Facebook has some legal hurdles to clear before it
4:21
can get Libre off the ground so I wouldn't cross my fingers for the launch
4:24
happening time soon yeah does anyone why did I even save it
4:31
now it's time for the quack buts brought
4:34
to you by the mas vie for the backpack you can plug in to charge all of the
4:39
devices inside it the mas v4 combines
4:42
the best features of the Grande and the black pack models with 20 liters of
4:47
capacity internal cable management to keep your wiring organized and an
4:50
available power adapter to keep you your charge from an outlet it also features a
4:54
pocket for the MAS go twenty thousand milliamp hour battery bank and a bright
4:57
orange interior so you can easily see what's in your bag right now you can use
5:02
offer code Linus to get 15% off everything on the law store so go to LG
5:06
GG / TL nas before to get yours today
5:09
Kwak buts they're kind of like nocturnal
5:13
gluts Nintendo has confirmed those rumors
5:18
about an upgraded original switch the new model called hack zero zero 1 - 0 1
5:25
really really well thought the tongue there it's gonna last four and a half to
5:30
nine hours on a single battery charge that's a big range compared to the two
5:34
and a half to six and a half hours of the original model other than the
5:38
battery life though there doesn't appear to be any significant change but we'll
5:42
see for sure when it hits shelves in August if you ask me Nintendo should
5:45
just fix the banking drift issue just can't stop you Tokyo yeah that's what
5:52
the script says device IDs for a new AMD
5:55
GPU codenamed Arcturus have popped up on
5:59
the web and have immediately got all the usual suspects suspecting is this a
6:05
high-end Navi card a low-end Vega card well regardless it's most likely a
6:10
workstation card not a gaming part so I guess we'll have to wait for more of the
6:15
rx 5000 series it's too bad cuz like
6:19
Arcturus it sounds like cool you know like I'm Arcturus yeah like good
6:25
Starcraft
6:29
every tech company and their dog is currently working on facial recognition
6:33
but Oakland has just joined San Francisco and Somerville in Ben the use
6:38
of the technology in public spaces the
6:41
band is being instituted on the grounds that facial recognition just ain't ready
6:45
for primetime and frankly I agree because I only want to be recognized
6:50
once I have properly done all of my makeup
6:53
thanks Bulgaria has a population of roughly 7 million and about 5 million of
6:59
them just had their personal information leaked by a hacker claiming to be
7:03
Russian among the leaks details are in couple well income health care
7:08
information and social security numbers the attack was reported by the NRA no
7:14
not that NRA it's Bulgaria's National
7:17
Revenue Agency but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it was the National
7:21
Rifle Association these are these are truly some crazy times that we're living
7:24
in and we're making robot brains arms and legs
7:29
so why not tongues iBM has unveiled
7:32
hyper taste a system made up of
7:36
electrochemical sensors that taste this
7:40
is a lot of finger quotes for one episode of tech lean that tastes
7:43
molecules in a liquid and identify their
7:47
fingerprint I heard that robots prefer salty treats to sweet ones but we could
7:52
probably find out if we just stuck a pretzel and a CD drive see what happens
7:56
and that's it for tech link guys come back on Friday cuz we're gonna party
8:00
like we're Rebecca Black you're gonna get down by your shirt
