hey guys you may not know this but there's a little thing i like to call
0:03
james time in this moment right here that's a great example of james time
0:07
james can you just it's james time on wednesday we talked about some leaks
0:12
concerning NVIDIA's rumored super versions of their rtx graphics cards but
0:16
now there's even more information from sources i love air codes today
0:22
it's still a little sketchy but apparently inside our sources i've told
0:26
wccf tech videocards.com and igor
0:29
wallacek from toms hardware germany that NVIDIA will release upgraded versions of
0:34
the rtx 2060 2070 and 2080 at those cards original price points while the
0:38
vanilla versions will get a price cut wccf text and videocards.com sources
0:44
both point to a possible announcement for these cards next week now what this
0:49
could mean for the graphics card market is just chaos utter
0:54
debasement NVIDIA would have 11 current gen cards
0:58
out there from the gtx 1650 to the titan rtx not to mention it will probably
1:03
anger gamers who just bought the non-super clark kent rtx cards at full
1:09
price let's hope the Radeon rx 5700
1:12
cards are pretty super themselves or they're gonna have a super hard time
1:16
selling to a super crowded market
1:20
super duper it's time to check in on our favorite sketchy chinese company huawei
1:27
the company got some bad press this week that was unrelated to its banned by the
1:31
us huawei device owners reported that ads started showing up on their lock
1:35
screens for hotelservicebooking.com
1:39
after the reports became widespread huawei removed the wallpaper ads from
1:42
their servers but didn't mention whether the ad placement was intentional or not
1:47
meanwhile the company announced it has delayed its mate x folding phone to
1:51
september from its original summer launch september is definitely fall huawei says
1:57
they delay the phone not because of the us ban but to avoid problems similar to
2:01
the ones that plagued the samsung galaxy fold which has been indefinitely delayed
2:06
due to manufacturing issues well that explanation is a bit hard to swallow
2:10
given that huawei also just canceled the launch of their latest matebook despite
2:14
the setbacks huawei might be gaining allies china's global times reports that
2:19
fellow chinese companies xiaomi tencent and oppo are reportedly testing huawei's
2:24
hongmen operating system for use with their own products presumably to use as
2:29
a replacement for Android which they won't be able to use anymore that sounds
2:33
scary but but isn't that actually a good thing that means that there are more
2:37
androids for the rest of us i love hoarding androids
2:41
and 5g might be the next big thing in tech but there's just one problem it
2:46
might break our weather detection systems
2:49
nasa and the national oceanic atmospheric administration or noaa have
2:53
warned that since the band of spectrum used by 5g equipment is very close to
2:58
the band used by weather technology deploying vast 5g networks could result
3:02
in a data loss of roughly 77 percent
3:06
that's a lot of percents but ajit pai chairman of the fcc thinks nasa doesn't
3:11
know what they're talking about i mean they're only nasa
3:16
pi says that studies provided by the two dissenting agencies are faulty and that
3:20
they fail to account for the use of beam forming which would focus 5d signals
3:25
more precisely to avoid interference with weather equipment for now it looks
3:29
like 5g development is moving forward so i guess we'll find out if we shot
3:33
ourselves in the foot after we pull the trigger yeah usually a good strategy
3:37
yeah you got to be confident it's gonna rain i know it's gonna rain already now it's
3:42
time for quick bits brought to you by madanina's
3:48
you can drink the very essence of Linus tech tips with the lambo roast it's got
3:52
a sweet chocolatey flavor a huge bold body and a smooth caramel finish
3:56
smelling it makes me feel like i'm riding a unicorn and by unicorn i mean a
4:00
lambo a lambo made of unicorn it runs on their dreams plus madrid's delicious
4:05
organic cold brew coffee comes in sweet and creamy flavors like uh yeah
4:10
it didn't explode so it's still a win you should
4:15
i don't know if this can still be open but delicious organic cold brew coffee come
4:19
in sweet and creamy flavors like this limited edition LTT cafe vanilla but the
4:24

4:36

4:41
there is no spoon Intel has not stopped their wild hiring spree just yet with
4:46
their latest recruits being former apple developer manisha padia and john cell
4:50
who also worked for apple but most recently worked for microsoft as the
4:54
chief architect of chip designs for the xbox one x and the upcoming project
4:58
scarlet man Intel is building up the hype for
5:02
their graphics cards like something fierce like imagine they
5:06
launch and they just suck hey these are just integrated
5:10
graphics elon musk bless his heart he dropped by e3 to announce that even more
5:14
games are coming to tesla vehicles including beach buggy racing 2 which
5:19
will let you use the car's steering wheel to control the game even when
5:22
you're driving just joking i made that last part up tesla is also working on
5:26
adding support for video streaming apps like youtube and netflix but tesla
5:29
owners will only be able to use these features while the vehicle is in park
5:33
boring but also our relief
5:36
musk also took the opportunity to remind us once again
5:39
that we're all living a simulation right
5:43
nothing's real except me more leaks to make you freak out
5:47
unnecessarily sources reportedly told wccf tech that AMD is planning to launch
5:52
a new threadripper CPU with 64 freaking
5:55
cars and 128 threads in q4 2019 and
5:59
that's really cool but like guys how many threads do you really need you know
6:03
we gotta stop at some point i'm scared especially because this chip will
6:07
apparently launch on the x 599 platform so AMD's jumping from x 399 to 5.99 come
6:13
on it's a mess i can't handle that many x's
6:17
ai generated deep fake videos and photos may be a scourge on human's ability to
6:22
determine what's real but adobe has come up with a solution make an ai figured it
6:27
out the company worked with researchers at
6:30
uc berkeley on a machine learning method to identify when images of faces have
6:35
been manipulated but what if that ai gets tricked into
6:39
joining the deep fake ais and then we need another ai to figure out where the
6:43
first one's lying oh no or smarter every day would say counter
6:47
counter counter measures he loves counter measures
6:51
yeah what if and security from cyber mdx has found critical security
6:55
vulnerabilities in an infusion pump widely used in hospitals and clinics the
7:01
pump runs on a pre-Android operating system Windows ce there is a patch
7:06
available though so if you're getting an iv make sure you ask your nurse whether
7:10
your pump's been updated or you
7:13
and your very blood could get hacked that sounds like a joke but it could be
7:18
dangerous so your nurse isn't gonna know
7:22
it would be just as dangerous not really to continue this episode so it's time to
7:26
end it once and for all so come back on monday for more tech news and hey maybe
7:31
