you know they say you should always keep up to date with the tech news but i
0:04
never really believed it until now
0:08
who's vape sony apparently couldn't keep their trap shut any longer and has
0:12
spilled some interesting details about the playstation 5. in an interview with
0:17
wired mark cerney lead system architect of the ps4 said that the next generation
0:22
console will be powered by an emd eight core zen two processor built on the
0:27
seven nanometer process yeah but what does he know exactly well he's the lead
0:31
system architect last time and a custom variant of AMD's nevi navi
0:37
GPU which will support ray tracing
0:41
the technique won't just be used for visuals but also to enhance the 3d audio
0:45
capabilities of the console the ps5 will also feature a custom designed SSD
0:50
rather than the hard drives that are standard in home consoles it will
0:53
support 8k output although we have to imagine that's not talking about running
0:58
games in ak and it will be backwards compatible with ps4 games wow
1:03
if all this is true the next playstation will be pretty badass
1:07
hopefully mark cerny didn't just say it because he loves hilarious pranks mark
1:11
wouldn't do that would he no it would be it would be a pretty good
1:15
prank though mark good one apple and qualcomm have been suing the crap out of
1:19
each other for months years even over patents but they've now announced a
1:23
settlement ending the dispute the two companies troubles centered around the
1:27
qualcomm modems used in iphones apple thought qualcomm's licensing fees were
1:32
too high too damn high qualcomm accused apple of stealing its modem tech and
1:37
giving it to Intel speaking of Intel that company also announced yesterday
1:41
that it was exiting the mobile 5g modem business yes coincidence
1:47
well you hate Intel 5g they're the worst i hate their 5g modem
1:51
yeah it's probably not coincidence it's unclear at this point which decision
1:55
caused the other Intel bowing out or the apple qualcomm settlement but either way
2:00
the big winner here is arguably qualcomm whose stock has shot upwards in the wake
2:05
of the news kind of sad to see this conflict die what will we do for drama in the tech
2:09
world now i wonder uh check what john mcafee is up to there's
2:13
always huawei that too and bengate has returned albeit
2:18
in a new way reports are coming in from tech reviewers of their samsung galaxy
2:22
fold screens breaking sometimes on their own sometimes because of user error see
2:28
the fold comes with a screen protector which can apparently be peeled off
2:33
except when you do that it causes the screen to die so it's less of a screen
2:36
protector and more just like scream more just part of the screen as mark german
2:40
from bloomberg bloomberg other tech journalists fold had their displays just
2:45
quit working or be damaged from receiving pressure while folded it's not
2:49
a particularly good look for samsung but maybe we're just not ready for folding
2:53
phones you know as a society also even if you thought it
2:56
was a screen protector and not part of the screen doesn't it make sense to not
3:01
take it off to like you know protect the phone we're just so used to
3:06

sony kind of stole their thunder with the ps5 news but microsoft has confirmed
3:54
the xbox one s all digital edition will launch may 7th as the first major home
4:00
console without a disk drive the new console is the same size as the existing
4:04
xbox one s and is technically 50 cheaper
4:08
at 249 usd msrp but you can find regular
4:12
xbox one s's with disk drives all over the place for 249 as well
4:17
so let's hope xbox has some slightly more
4:20
exciting announcements at e3 they said they would i trust phil spencer i mean
4:25
look at him he's adorable leaks about the oneplus 7 and 7 pro have been flying
4:29
like crazy and the latest ones seem to indicate the higher end option will
4:33
feature not only a pop-up camera but also a quad hd super amoled display with
4:38
a 90 hertz refresh rate now that's not quite as impressive as the razer phone's
4:42
120 hertz display but it'll probably come without the whole wannabe apple
4:46
complex so that's a roast of razer it's a big roast
4:51
speaking of apple that company might be trying to appeal to the small-handed
4:54
among us once again with a new version of the iphone se a number of reports
4:59
have pointed to a device launching alongside the iphone 11 this fall with a
5:02
profile slightly smaller than that of the vanilla iphone 10s
5:07
look at us talking about phones getting smaller
5:10
again feels like 2002. the first u.s based trials of the gene editing
5:14
technique known as crispr have begun on human participants at the university of
5:18
pennsylvania finally i know it's to determine the methods effectiveness in
5:23
treating cancer and soon similar trials are set to take place in canada and
5:27
europe as well crispr has huge potential for revolutionizing medical care but
5:31
let's hope that we don't end up making ourselves a little crispier in the
5:35
process see you gotta take care you got to be careful move on and nicola the electric
5:41
car company rival to tesla has unveiled a batch of new vehicles the nikola 2 is
5:46
a hydrogen electric hybrid semi truck although a full electric version is on
5:50
the way the reckless is an all-terrain vehicle intended for the military the
5:54
wav is an electric jet ski and the nzt
5:58
is another all-terrain vehicle for civilians it's a cool time to be an
6:01
electric vehicle fan but not a cool time to be a thomas edison fan
