Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Microsoft is killing Playstation! ☹”.
Oh wow, this is pretty nice. How long is it you’ve seen this before what what this is techlinked? What’S? What’S that it’s Tech news show you’re hosting it Tech news show like CNN, you’re, fired you’re up, oh good Linus, Microsoft is a simple company. It wants nothing more than to have its acquisition of giant gaming publisher, Activision Blizzard approved by Regulators, so it can continue to grow its little near Monopoly on popular franchises in peace. Come on. It’S simple, I know just give him a break. Sony, naturally, is not on board and has submitted complaints to the UK competition regulator. Investigating the merger see Sony’s concerned that Call of Duty players on Playstation might jump ship, even if Microsoft doesn’t make the franchise XBox exclusive because they wouldn’t want to miss out on the types of PlayStation exclusive Cod content that Sony offered for years. Content. Oh yeah! When Sony does it, it’s different. Microsoft in turn complained that Sony is influencing regulator’s investigations and besides, there are over twice as many PlayStation consoles out there than Xboxes. So couldn’t Sony afford to lose a few Gamers? I mean they’re Gamers Michael.
What could they cost ten dollars? Meanwhile, the CEO of take two weighed in with an interesting point about all of this. He said Microsoft is an ally of ours and if this is wow an ally and if this makes their business more powerful, we think that’s good. For us he has said more powerful in other Microsoft news. The company unveiled three new service devices this morning, although the word new, they are maybe doing more work than usual. The biggest development is that the Surface Pro X line is dead, thank God as a distinct arm powered product separate from the mainstream surface Pros the new Surface.
Pro 9 can be configured with an Intel 12th gen CPU or a Microsoft sq3 processor, which is if the sq1 and sq2 were any indicate station. Essentially a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx gen 3.. Oh thank God.
The Surface Pro X is still alive. Microsoft also unveiled a new Surface laptop 5 and that new was in Brackets, because the laptop itself appears almost identical to its predecessor, except for an upgraded Intel, 12th gen processors and sadly, no AMD option. Like last time.
Jonathan horse might yell at me. If I don’t mention that there are new colors, so there’s new colors, it looks it looks different they’re gorgeous, don’t they have a green color? Now Microsoft also updated the internals on the surface, Studio 2 plus, but only with 11th gen processors. So you can buy a machine with a core i7 11370h and a laptop RTX 3060 for 4 300 US dollars.
If you’re someone who just you know, does things for attention and meta held their connect conference yesterday AKA The Awkward party where Zuck tries over an hour to convince you to play VR with him. It was really good. This VR is amazing. This guy wants it.
So bad his company made a whole new headset called The Quest Pro and you got ta admit it’s got pretty impressive specs, it’s powered by a new Snapdragon xr2, plus chip, more memory and storage, plus new controllers, with cameras of their own, more Zuckerberg cameras in my House now at a price of 1500 US Dollars, though this thing isn’t primarily for gaming, it’s being positioned as a work device as long as you only have one to two hours of work to do, because that’s how long the battery lasts is at it not convinced. Well, if you accept Mark’s, offer he’ll throw in a generous bonus of legs for your avatar wow, but no, but because just to keep you safe. Also. What Microsoft’s back in this episode again yeah they’re, bringing teams, office, windows and Xbox game pass to the quest platform, which may make more sense if the rumors about the hololens losing steam are true, I’d even know you could play Steam on a hololens.
That’S not what this is it and that’s not what I. What do you mean? Is this like a foggy glasses, joke Steam on your now? It’S time for the quick bits brought to you by vessi Footwear, who hates wet socks as much as you do well say goodbye to squelchy socks with vesi’s, lightweight breathable and water resistant shoes, their dimetex material?

Vessey makes cruelty free products so right down to the glue.

Unfortunately, no one has ever successfully eaten One reviews of the beastly RTX. 4090 came out this weekend, unsurprisingly, for a card bigger than your cat. It’S really fast, and you know, what’s not so fast – the 12 gigabyte RTX 4080, which was spotted in new benchmarks, released by Nvidia themselves yesterday, showing the pseudo 4070 performing up to 30 percent slower than its 16 gigabyte sibling.
It’S funny how, when you just don’t put in the same GPU or and limit the bus with it’s gon na suck, it’s different yeah, it’s all, but we can just call it 4080 and it’s true. It’S also only about 10 faster than the RTX 3080, which can currently be found for hundreds of dollars less the best part about the hole. It’S a 4070 thing is that Nvidia doesn’t care they’re going to release the RTX 4040x and the website will crash every time. You try to order it and they’ll be laughing hilarious.
Joke’S on you, yeah. We don’t Angel, showed off their newest Nook, designed at twitchcon and answered the question. What is a Nook? Not a Nook? It’S when it’s literally just a mini ITX PC granted. The chassis is designed to fit Intel’s compute element card which combines the motherboard CPU and RAM into one slot with up to a triple slot GPU below it.
Oh that’s thick, but when I imagine a Nook, I think of a cute little thing. You know you can feel my cargo pants, so I can walk to the LAN party. Sure I get weird looks but Google introduced a number of new Chromebooks yesterday, which the company called the world’s first laptops built for cloud gaming, which is another way of saying they suck at running games. And that was rude because the new models from Acer, Asus and Lenovo do have refresh rates of 120 hertz RGB gaming, keyboards and Wi-Fi 6 and 6E, just like other laptops that don’t run Chrome OS.
The Chromebooks will kind of hilariously run nvidia’s, GeForce now and Xbox game pass, because they’re launching less than two weeks after Google killed their own cloud gaming platform. I pray for all the kids whose moms are going to buy these oh and who is it? That’S crashing? The end of this episode, but Microsoft again, oh they back and with the news that they’re integrating Dolly to AI power text, to image generator into its new designer web software and even directly into Bing and soon directly into human artists. I’M sorry, human artist, but your jobs are in Jeopardy from what is essentially the new clipart. You made some cool stuff. While you were here, though great work shout out to Donatello, shout out, you know Leonardo da Vinci, real real Class Acts, but you know and we’ll give you artists, even more praise. If you come back on Friday for more Tech news, we might say things like You’re. My Favorite viewer won’t that feel good. .
