that sounded like the donkey kong yeah oh no that's some improvement yeah the
0:08
donkey kong thing is also like
0:12
samsung unpacked a bunch of stuff at their unpacked event today
0:16
yeah that makes sense first off obviously the galaxy note 9 was unveiled
0:21
complete with a 4 000 milliamp hour battery and not much else to
0:25
differentiate it from the s9 plus it has an available 512 Gigabyte model that
0:29
when combined with a 512 Gigabyte microsd card will make the note 9 the
0:34
first phone with one terabytes of storage so that's cool oh you love terabytes
0:40
the new s pen has bluetooth low energy so it can be used as a phone remote
0:45
taking pictures playing and pausing stuff even controlling powerpoint you
0:48
can use it in desktop mode the note 9 that is now without the dex dock you
0:53
just need the HDMI dongle samsung also officially unveiled the galaxy watch
0:57
which runs tizen os not Android in two sizes with lte capability and a
1:02
multi-day battery and also also samsung's got a smart speaker now the
1:07
galaxy home with three donkey legs that apparently raise it up so the base can
1:12
bounce downwards got to get that base down low
1:16
down low down hey i'm really sorry guys
1:20
it uses samsung's own bixby
1:24
i say it that way because it sounds like a fancy butler name bixby get me give me
1:28
tea bixby give me some tea anyways uh still lacks
1:32
a lot of functions bixby does compared to the other cool kids like alexa and
1:36
google assistant it's the focal point of samsung's new partnership with spotify
1:41
oh and also also also fortnite for Android has launched
1:45
exclusively for modern samsung phones but it will only be exclusive
1:49
until august 12th yay yeah
1:52
so you won't even get to play it on the note 9 because that launches august 24th
1:58
starting at 9.99 us holy crap you could
2:02
i can still play it you can you can play
2:05
fortnite for two days exclusively anyways you know what guys you could
2:09
also get a s9 like a regular s9 and a chromebook from amazon for cheaper right
2:13
now because they got a bundle so use your brain
2:17
or don't it's your life excuse me we're filming
2:21
with your dick whoa speaking of fortnite which skipped the
2:25
play store on Android and skipped steam on pc discord is launching a game store
2:31
to rival steam yeah that's a bit of a roundabout segway
2:36
the chat app launched a beta for the store today which will feature a curated
2:40
selection of games but they're also adding a limited selection of games to
2:43
their existing subscription program nitro which currently gets you a
2:47
number a cucumber which currently gets you a number of exclusive app features for
2:52
4.99 a month so now they're sort of a netflix for games and a game store the
2:57
beta is rolling out now in canada what we're getting something first that never
3:01
happens sorry you have to wait rest of the world we know what it feels like and
3:05
you know normally i'm excited for leaks about upcoming products but this NVIDIA
3:09
stuff has just been too crazy because of all the conflicting information so
3:14
NVIDIA has just registered trademarks for the touring architecture as well as
3:18
for quadro rtx and g-force rtx rtx is an
3:22
already announced real-time ray tracing technology from NVIDIA so does this mean
3:26
NVIDIA is replacing gtx with rtx are we
3:29
getting an rtx 2080 except maybe we're
3:32
not because another leaked listing shows a gtx 1180. this is what i'm talking
3:38
about it doesn't make sense also
3:41
benchlife claims the founders edition cooler will have two fans instead of the
3:44
traditional single fan but who who knows and who cares
3:48
i don't care anymore it's too much you're not a fan ah
3:53
that's that's that's the response you get although wait maybe we're getting a gtx
3:58
1180 and an rtx 2080
4:01
together like as two discreet things
4:04
we're back to two fans again you and i oh yeah you brought us back just kidding
4:09
i don't care i'm over it quick bits quick bits will calm me down
4:13
brought to you by memory express another thing that we've got going for us here
4:16
in canada an awesome electronics retailer that cares about giving the
4:20
best deal because with our uber price beat guarantee memory express will beat
4:24
any authorized canadian retailer's price by 10 of the difference both in store
4:28
and online plus they have freaking
4:31
sick customer care with 15 day returns
4:34
and exchanges so care of you when you're sick no that's not what that is the puns so
4:40
canucks take the memory express train all the way to savings junction
4:44
at the link below what about that one that was a pun kind of and now
4:48
the quick beats Intel is rolling out a 32 terabyte SSD about the size of a
4:54
12-inch ruler intended for use in servers as it requires half the airflow
4:58
as other ssds to keep cool 32 of these
5:02
can be combined to hold up to one petabyte in a single server slot but
5:06
think about what else you could use a bunch of really long ssds for
5:10
my my guess is sword fighting acer is planning to spin off its gaming and
5:15
smart device businesses into a new subsidiary tentatively called gadget
5:19
technology it's yeah
5:22
i certainly hope that's tentative because it's also terrible go go gadget
5:27
bad name generator the 2018 macbook just
5:30
cannot catch a break as some users are now reporting crackling speakers when
5:35
doing pretty normal mac user things like playing with garageband or writing a
5:39
coachella memoir in the nearest independent free trade coffee shop ha ha
5:44
we got em so good james nice job we got
5:47
those guys they didn't see that coming wait how would writing a memoir make the
5:51
speakers crack isn't that like a
5:55
security researcher christopher domes has apparently found a back door in old
5:59
x86 cpus that completely bypasses the protection ring model of security giving
6:04
immediate root access to someone who uses it the flaw isn't supposed to exist
6:08
so theoretically there could be similar backdoors in modern ships one back door
6:12
to rule them all it is as the prophecy foretold light the signal fires
6:19
it won't help that's that's some old technology that
6:22
won't do anything and Android police have stumbled upon leaked photos of a
6:26
tiny Android device made by palm yes like the palm pilot palm with a 3.3 inch
6:32
720p screen and an 800 milliamp hour battery that's very small
6:38
it's apparently headed for verizon i mean that's one way to innovate when everyone
6:42
else is going with huge phones let's do the complete opposite heck i'd get it
6:46
why not palms up hey
6:50
that was bad hey that's it for tech link people pack it up that's it it's over
6:54
but like or just like the video first and subscribe before you pack it up
6:58
because you never know when we'll be back
7:02
