james announce me here comes some loser
0:04
no come on make way for prince writing oh
0:10
there it is thank you you're gonna love this guy
0:15
aladdin teaser came out over the weekend you can tell
0:19
prince riley hey i like that the mystery is apparently over about NVIDIA's
0:24
upcoming mid-range gtx graphics card mostly images have leaked of three
0:28
different versions of the card confirming that it is named the gtx 1660
0:33
ti yeah i know i'm kind of sad about that i
0:36
like gtx 1160 much better this doesn't even make sense is it the gtx 16 series
0:42
that's stupid anyways the images show 1660 ti boxes from galax palit and evga
0:50
evga with the latter two being mini itx
0:54
versions they're all equipped with six gigabytes of gddr6 video memory and
0:58
touring shaders even though these gtx cards will not feature ray tracing so i
1:03
guess these gpus will essentially be the less fancy models for gamers who don't
1:08
want to bother with making their gaming life incalculably more glorious
1:13
mobile world congress is coming up at the end of february in barcelona and
1:18
microsoft and samsung want you to get hyped
1:23
alex kipman the creator of the hololens and sort of the mixed reality guide
1:27
microsoft posted a short cgi video that doesn't show off anything at all but if
1:32
rumors are to be believed it's a teaser for the hololens 2. it maybe has carbon
1:37
fiber too so that alright that's exciting and it
1:41
maybe will be an actual product you could buy this time
1:44
even more exciting samsung on the other hand posted an only slightly less vague
1:49
teaser for their folding phone with the tagline the future unfolds let's hope
1:53
that this time around we get to see the device with some actual lights on i mean
1:57
it's always more exciting in the dark but sometimes you end up bashing your
2:01
knee on something and just kind of ruins the mood you know
2:06
and google is making progress on augmented reality walking directions for
2:10
google maps we first got a look at this at google's i o 2018 developer
2:14
conference last may but that was just a concept video now the wall street
2:18
journal has gotten to play around with a functioning alpha version of the feature
2:22
for maps on Android and it looks pretty cool ar maps uses
2:27
something called the visual positioning system or vps which analyzes the feed
2:31
from the phone's camera to help determine your precise location and
2:35
orientation and to make sure you're not walking around like a phone addicted
2:38
zombie the app even encourages you to keep your phone down while you walk the
2:43
app is only in private testing right now which is good because i didn't see the
2:46
little animated fox from the initial demo see i think they should do like a
2:50
collaboration with pokemon go so you have like a little pokemon like leading
2:53
you around so you can be like where should i go squirrel this squirrel
2:57
squirrel this way now it's time for quick bits brought to

3:38
under the quick bits xiaomi has filed a patent for a phone display with not just
3:42
one or two curved edges but curves on
3:46
all four sides of the screen introducing the xiaomi cube ooh
3:50
that means when you're looking at it straight on all you'll see is display
3:54
you might even be convinced that the phone is just screen all the way around
3:58
but that would be a lie and so i can't recommend buying this phone
4:01
stay away so AMD released the Radeon 7 last week or as apple calls it the 5i
4:07
that's true roman numerals and it should have been cheaper but it
4:11
also should have had UEFI support which apparently it doesn't that means that
4:16
Windows 10 can't use secure boot which means that it might cause some users
4:19
Windows 10 installations to deactivate it's a pretty confusing oversight on the
4:24
part of AMD since pretty much every graphics card since 2013 has UEFI
4:28
support did they forget
4:32
do they not have like a checklist when they're gonna like
4:35
release these things might be important hey you know beat
4:39
saber you know you know what it is you don't know what it is it's that vr rhythm game where you slice colored
4:43
boxes in time with music well players were apparently playing the game so well
4:48
and so fast that valve had to update steamvr's tracking system so it could
4:52
properly register the speed with which these super humans were slicing songs
4:58
alliteration did you notice i love it this is cool
5:02
but it also kind of makes me sad like why is beatsaber so popular but there
5:07
still isn't an actual vr lightsaber dueling game speaking of stars remember
5:11
mars one it's not a star it's planet the company that was going to send humans to
5:15
live on mars forever is part of a crazy reality show if you don't remember it's
5:19
fine because the company's dead now and that's probably fine we'll probably only
5:23
get a martian reality show like the third or fourth time we go there
5:27
i can wait and let this be a lesson to all of you cheating gamers out there
5:32
johnny perez who created elusive a
5:36
cheating program for grand theft auto online has been ordered to pay a hundred
5:39

5:44
district court in new york gta online publisher take two sued perez after he
5:49
