folks are in the market for a mid-range GPU without fancy ray tracing support
0:12
might be in luck as reports suggest that NVIDIA will soon be releasing a gtx
0:17
1160. the card would supposedly launch in addition to the previously rumored
0:22
rtx 2060. this might be the way that NVIDIA will differentiate its higher
0:27
tier rtx lineup with the aforementioned ray tracing from its lower end product
0:31
stack however it does appear that the gtx 1160 will still use a touring family
0:36
GPU and will possibly support features like dlss a new anti-aliasing mode that
0:41
was heavily touted when the rtx lineup was initially announced no word yet on
0:45
pricing and availability but we might hear something mid-january right as all
0:50
your bills from all that christmas shopping start rolling oh great i'm
0:54
fully leveraged riley i'm to the max it appeared that the days of apple
0:59
products bending under small amounts of pressure maybe in your pocket were long
1:03
behind us after the iphone 6 debacle but it looks like ipad users are now dealing
1:08
with their own electric boogaloo
1:13
users have been reporting that their 2018 ipad pros are you guessed it bent
1:18
which is undesirable on a product that starts at 800 us dollars and to make
1:23
matters worse the issue is reportedly even more noticeable on the larger
1:28
cellular enabled model that starts at 1 150.
1:34
james louise and funnily enough this has even been reported on ipads immediately
1:39
after they've been removed from their original box apple has actually
1:42
confirmed the reports and blamed it on the cooling process that they used
1:46
during assembly while apple claims it won't affect functionality at least one
1:50
youtuber has opined that the new ipads are quite flimsy a friendly reminder
1:54
that i devices do not yet come with those newfangled
1:58
foldable screens it's not folded that much
2:01
it's fine if you're in germany you may now have a tougher time trying to save
2:05
money by buying an older model iphone because there's currently a patent
2:09
kerfuffle playing out between apple and qualcomm as the latter is claiming that
2:13
apple has violated a number of its patents german courts have already ruled
2:18
that apple is indeed in the wrong here to be specific the issue revolves around
2:22
a power saving feature to keep the battery from draining too fast when the
2:26
phone is connected to a 4g network the court has issued an injunction meaning
2:30
apple would be legally prohibited from selling older iphones in the country
2:34
germany that is but the injunction is on hold while apple appeals however apple
2:39
has said that it won't be selling iphone 7s or 8s in store for the time being so
2:44
hopefully lions might just be a tiny bit
2:47
shorter at the genius bar or since it's germany that would be
2:52
baba the genius beer garden garden now for
2:58
the genius quick bits presented by privacy plain old privacy you don't use

3:43
bad 2018 still holding that isn't stopping facebook from developing its
3:47
own digital currency bloomberg tells us that this will be a stable coin whose
3:51
value is tied to the us dollar in order to avoid wild fluctuations facebook
3:55
wants to use the new currency to allow users to send and receive money via
4:00
whatsapp although you'll have to be a stable genius to know how probably the
4:05
smartest is it forget to use it it's probably gonna be pretty easy germany is
4:09
also beefing with nintendo as their consumer protections authorities are
4:13
taking the japanese game giant to court because of its all sales final policy on
4:19
the nintendo eshop allegedly a violation of european law personally i think you
4:23
should be able to get your money back for an unsatisfying product even if it's
4:26
just ones and zeros i mean if you can get a big mac compt i don't see why you
4:31
shouldn't be able to refund sonic forces is that yeah is that a good game
4:35
no fortnite is known just about as much for his exuberant dances as it is for its
4:40
gameplay but not everyone is booging down as multiple parties are suing epic
4:45
games claiming that the developer ripped off pre-existing dances such as the
4:49
carlton from tv series fresh prince of
4:53
bel air the legal battle should be interesting as while dances can be
4:57
copyrighted litigation over dance moves is uncommon maybe this is why that guy
5:02
from the safety dance song was so insisting oh my god i finally understand
5:06
the safety dance guy you should be able to dance if you want
5:10
to even if that means leaving your friends behind
5:14
off-key caroling is a time-honored christmas tradition especially at my
5:17
house where we suck at singing but nintendo has taken it to a whole new
5:21
level as it recently released a video of toad singing a tune to the melody of joy
5:26
to the world in japanese in his trademark screechy voice
5:39
and it's every bit as bad as it sounds the song is set to visuals from breath
5:43
of the wild for reasons that aren't totally clear so yeah
5:47
merry christmas merry christmas hey youtuber mark rober robert has admitted
5:53

6:06

6:10
