tech news baby
0:03
never heard of it NVIDIA has once again defied all logic
0:08
and released the GeForce gtx 1660 super
0:12
it joins the four other 60 tier cards in NVIDIA's lineup the gtx 1660 the 1660 ti
0:19
the rtx 2060 and the 2060 super coming
0:22
in at an msrp of 229 us dollars the 1660
0:26
super appears to be positioned as a slight upgrade to the vanilla 1660 which
0:32
retails for around 220 us dollars but it's still quite a bit lower on the
0:37
louder than the existing 1660 ti at 280
0:41
AMD actually cut rx 590 prices just before the launch since the new
0:45
supercard infringes on its territory reviewers so far haven't been
0:50
incredibly impressed with the card's price to performance but that might be
0:54
okay because NVIDIA's real stars of the show this week are new features added to
0:58
the latest GeForce drivers very exciting
1:02
reshade filters image sharpening low latency tech they're all built-in
1:06
features now for NVIDIA gpus with those last two being direct answers to AMD's
1:10
recently added Radeon image sharpening and low latency features oh and
1:14
apparently there's a gtx 1650 super on
1:17
the way too because if you can't convince people to buy your products
1:20
just just confuse them i bought this
1:26
it's its own joke built in samsung held their developer conference keynote
1:29
yesterday and used the opportunity to tease some upcoming products including a
1:33
vertically folding phone which that sounds like a flip phone it folds down
1:38
to be half the phone's size most phones are are one phone size it's
1:43
a metric unit you know samsung also unveiled the galaxy book
1:48
book ion and galaxy book flex Windows
1:52
laptops but unlike their galaxy book s sibling which is powered by a qualcomm
1:56
processor the new laptops are part of Intel's project athena running 10th gen
2:01
core processors they're sleek with qled displays and wireless charging built
2:06
into their track pads i guess that works if you got a mouse attached but if you want to type
2:10
something i'm i'm sure samsung has this figured i'll trust those guys hopefully better
2:15
than they figured out their space selfie balloon which crashed into a michigan
2:18
horse farm never know what's gonna happen this baby fell out of the sky and
2:23
landed in our yard it's never boring on the welky farm it
2:29
was a pr stunt meant to send selfies into space
2:33
called spaces i made that part up and as william cll
2:38
on the forum points out by dropping it from space they've outdone Linus even in
2:43
spectacular fashion i said spectacular did you catch that and netflix is still
2:48
planning on rolling out a test for variable speed playback despite
2:52
opposition from a chorus of filmmakers the proposed feature would work just
2:57
like speed options available on many online web players including youtube
3:01
allowing viewers to watch content at a faster or slower speed judd apatow aaron
3:06
paul and brad bird and even more than them have called on netflix to stop the
3:11
rollout of the feature saying it would destroy films
3:14
which should be viewed as intended by the filmmakers although by that logic i
3:18
guess netflix should also not be available on smartphones and laptops
3:23
wait you watch netflix and cook dinner at the same time
3:27
yeah psychopath now netflix has defended the feature saying it's only one of many
3:32
that the company is exploring and as davindra hardware and gadget points out
3:36
most of netflix's content isn't exactly high art damn
3:41
davindra why you gotta do it dirty like that have you seen roma it's even better at
3:45
double speed
3:48

3:54
efficient power supplies your power supply is the heart of your pc build so
3:58
why not pick one known for excellent reliability high efficiency and the
4:02
performance you need for whatever you do with your system there's no good answer

5:07
what fallout 76 has a bit of a class war on its hands players have taken to
5:11
attacking other players when it becomes clear that they've purchased bethesda's
5:15
recently launched fallout first subscription which provides special
5:18
outfits infinite item storage and private servers the attacks seem to be a
5:23
protest against bethesda's milking players for more money but at the very
5:28
