0:13
everyone's getting fired i'm getting fired i'm kind of loud and obnoxious
0:16
riley's getting fired for not advancing the prompter because i don't have my
0:20
remote today and uh what's actually happening though is the entire Linus
0:24
media group crew is going on a company
0:27
bonding experience we're calling it workation 2.0 it's a corporate retreat
0:32
into the wilderness where there is no tech
0:35
and there is no news but we'll be back on september 10th just
0:39
in time to make fun of apple's new products that they'll be announcing on
0:42
september the 12th see that segway it's tight yep the company teased the
0:48
event with a big circle that looks like their new office building or maybe
0:51
they'll unveil a round apple watch actually probably not
0:56
we know that because the apple watch series 4 has been leaked with new edge
1:00
to edge display a super information dense watch face and what looks like an
1:05
extra microphone hole it's revolutionary
1:09
images have also leaked of a larger and smaller version of what is apparently
1:13
going to be the iphone xs yeah is that 10s
1:18
is it like extra small is it like x in
1:22
excess like the band there's an excess
1:27
this is a very confusing this very confusing thing so one of them is 5.8
1:31
inches and the other is 6.5 and then there's maybe also a new version of the
1:35
regular iphone 10 coming in let's just hope that september 12th clears all this
1:41
up um or doesn't because that's better for jokes at apple's expense but wait we
1:46
can't let apple have all of the leaks the google pixel 3 has finally leaked
1:52
after its larger sibling the pixel 3 xl was leaked to kingdom come yes my
1:57
friends it's amazing the boat even got there with all the leaks and praise the
2:00
phone gods the pixel 3 does not have a
2:04
notch so high fives everyone nope you missed it you were too slow the
2:08
pixel 3 does though have dual front-facing cameras screenshots of the
2:12
phone specs also reveal that it's packing a 2160 by 1080 display a 29 15
2:18
milliamp hour battery and a snapdragon 845 CPU with eight excuse me four gigs
2:23
of RAM google is holding their own unveiling event on september the 9th so
2:27
we won't have to wait too long to get all the official details but man what a
2:32
relief is that a leaking joke no wow that's kind of crass
2:37
and german tech event ifa 2018 is still
2:40
rolling on with lenovo announcing so many laptops that it makes my tummy
2:44
tingle actually that's probably the spicy soup i had for lunch uh so first
2:48
off is the thinkpad x1 extreme this is the first 15-inch x1 but still pretty
2:54
thin and light at under four pounds with a six-core 8th gen core i7 processor and
3:00
up to 64 gigs of RAM if you don't need that much power lenovo also showed off
3:04
the yoga c630 the first Windows laptop
3:08
powered by a qualcomm snapdragon 850
3:12
that will reportedly get it 25 hours of
3:15
battery life using the lower power Windows 10 s but wait you want an even
3:21
less usable laptop than that well the lenovo yoga book c930 has got
3:27
you covered it takes the touch pad of the original and replaces it with an
3:31
e-ink display which i guess is
3:34
better uh but there's almost certainly better
3:38
machines that you can get for like a thousand bucks like maybe ASUS new
3:41
mid-range zenbooks the company has gone the dell xps route and shrunk the bezels
3:46
down drastically wow that is a lot of laptops i guess the international floppy
3:51
disk assembly 2018 is the event to see
3:55
laptop launches that is not what it is short for very cool but you know what is
3:58
short this segway to audible it's time
4:02

4:13
free trial and get your first audio book for free audiobooks go great with other
4:18
activities like hiking road tripping or pretending that your work

4:28
mind-bending sci-fi story complete with doppelgangers and quantum mechanics by
4:33
the author of the wayward pines trilogy it's probably going to be a movie
4:37
eventually so why don't you be one of the cool kids and get out ahead of the
4:41

4:45

4:50
why is he wearing that glove no one will ever know
4:53
on to the quark barks huawei was also at
4:57
ifa 2018 where they unveiled the kyron 980 the first mobile chip using a seven
5:03
nanometer manufacturing process based on ARM's cortex a76 architecture it also
5:09
has a neural processing unit inside for ai tasks now that literally everything
5:14
has to have ai tacked onto it somehow
5:17
speaking of ai huawei also made a smart speaker called
5:22
the ai cube that isn't a cube it's just
5:26
kind of a blatant google home clone except that it has alexa instead of
5:30
google assistant so like the ai is short
5:33
for like alexa instead
5:36
also it doubles as a router so that's cool a bunch of phones showed up at ifa
5:40
2. the sony xperia xz3 features a shiny
5:44
new OLED display the xiaomi mix 3 adds a
5:47
sliding selfie camera section like the oppo find x which i'm actually still
5:51
working on my review of look at that thing isn't that ridiculous and the
5:54
honor play is a gaming phone with haptic feedback and
5:59
the huawei mate 10 lite is a large mid-range phone with a big battery but
6:03
also the pixel 3 it doesn't have a notch did i mention that already i hope i did
6:08
researchers at queen's university have built a tablet called the magic scroll
6:13
isn't that cute it rolls into a cylindrical form thanks to its flexible
6:18
touchscreen but what's neat is it can also be controlled with dials on either
6:22
side of the device man i missed the good old days when you'd read things on
6:26
papyrus and stone tablets and stuff really brings me back to my child really
6:30
an old joke wow you know what you know what those jokes are getting old
6:35
audio company harman kardon worked with netgear to make a smart speaker the
6:39
orbee voice that also functions as a wi-fi repeater that's kind of neat i
6:44
guess and california state assembly has approved a bill that would prohibit
6:49
throttling or blocking of internet traffic by service providers if the
6:52
senate approves the bill will be signed into law which could act as an example
6:55
for other states to follow bringing net neutrality back to life
6:59
despite its crippling like curb stomping it got by
7:02
the u.s federal government this would be good or not so good depending on your
7:06
position me i don't have a position you might say that i'm net neutral uh
7:12
that's not what true true neutral true neutral good dungeon the dragon's
7:16
reference lordy what's not neutral is the fact that this episode is over that
7:20
sucks the big one especially because there is no TechLinked next week i mean
7:24
