Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “You lose, Firefox!”.
Hello, everyone and welcome to techlink your source for the tech news, i’m james stribe. We begin today with browsers right as they release their 90th version. Firefox has gotten edged off its podium place in the neverending browser wars by microsoft. Edge no best see what we did.
There, according to the latest figures published by statcounter microsoft, edge accounted for 3.4 percent of web traffic, making it the third most used browser firefox, which used to hold that position unfortunately only accounted for 3.29. This improvement can be attributed to the fact that microsoft rebuilt the browser using chromium, making it work well enough for most users and then, of course, making it the default of defaults in windows. You know the pop-ups i’m talking about if my poor mother-in-law she just but it says i’m gon na be less productive. If i don’t keep it, i know it’s really asking me: are you sure that actually works on her? If firefox wants to get back on podium? Its users, better band together to up their traffic and install on friends and families, computers, because nipping at their toes for fourth place, is the samsung internet. Browser and tsmc has found a way to make your chips cooler than ever. That’S right. Researchers have figured out that they should be water, cooling, silicon directly. In a presentation given at the vlsi symposium, the researchers found that they could dissipate up to 2 600 watts of heat with the methods they tried using a thermal test device to simulate a hot processor. The researchers tested three methods of cooling: two: have the water channels etched into a silicon lid with one using a silicon oxide fusion and the other a liquid metal to serve as a thermal interface material.
These performed well, but not as well as when the water channels were etched directly on heat generating silicon itself. The, how of implementing such an exotic cooling solution in the mainstream will still need to be worked out, but such solutions could help maintain the precepts of moore’s law even more or maybe not in a blog post published by the director of technology at arm. Rob akin posits that, while performance has been increasing while transistors have been shrinking, we are reaching the physical limits of what we can do with that benchmark. Taking energy consumption and its impact on climate change into consideration, it can suggest we adopt kumi’s law, which describes the trend in the number of computations per joule of dissipated energy. He argues that this would work better with the way that consumers use technology today where battery life and efficiency is more important than gross power alone, especially in your phone. We are already seeing the fruits of this focus with apple’s transition to its own arm-based silicon, which was done because performance for what improvements have been slowing with other architectures, and they love to keep things thin right. Jonathan horst, yes, is that you yes mac address baby subscribe. It can also pause the future of technology.
That’S so low powered. It can harvest energy from the environment around it like how an rfid chip is powered by the devices that uses it. I mean my mother-in-law. Sucks all the energy out of the room. Am i right yeah just kidding cindy. I love you so much and now here’s another person, don’t worry i’ll, be right back. Today’S quick bits are brought to you by wondershare pdf element. Pdf element is the all-in-one pdf solution for windows and mac os. Their latest update to windows introduces pdf, compare allowing you to easily compare separate pdf versions and get things finalized quicker. It makes it super simple to sign edit annotate and make notes on all your pdfs for your business or even for school or whatever convert pdf files to word excel or even export it as a jpeg, as well as combine crop and easily compress big pdfs into Smaller sized files, techlink viewers can get 45 off pdf element by clicking the link below this is the part where the little quip about the quick bits goes, but we don’t really have one so we’re just gon na get right into it.
Just joking: it’s the quick bits! If you don’t like using windows installed on your computer, you can now use it online. Microsoft unveiled windows 365, a cloud pc service aimed at businesses who don’t want to deal with the hassle of managing multiple windows installations, spread on multiple pieces of hardware service, builds on microsoft’s azure virtual desktop service, with installations configurable up to eight cpu cores 16 gigabytes of Ram and 512 gigabytes of storage when it launches on august 1st it’ll be yet another form of computing. That’S been pushed to the cloud, don’t they know. I need a computer to run this. Oh they want me to do this on my phone windows. Phones.
Is that what this is all about? Apple has quietly launched their latest first party mag safe, accessory a battery pack, the 99 accessory will let iphone 12 users top up their phones on the go while it pops in easily throughput is limited to just 5 watts. But when it’s plugged into a 20 watt charger it can charge the phone at full 15 watt. Mag save speeds, ish cooler still is that the battery pack supports reverse charging. So if your phone is plugged into carplay, you can still send juice to the pack.
For later, that is actually pretty cool power is meant to be shared jeff bezos. Do you hate buying stuff all at once? Well. Well, according to bloomberg, apple is reportedly working with goldman sachs to create an apple pay in four service, similar to paypal’s, paying for and klarna the service will. Let you spread the large cost of a good between four interest repayments over two weeks. Just three easy payments of 29.99 or you can pay in installments with interest over several months. This is just seems like like servitude, late stage, capitalism apple owns you and your data with the ever increasing cost of device and goods. Yes, more debt is the answer. Apple.
Thank you. Why can’t apple just make hardware and software and just stop the saga of whoa for cyberpunk 2077 has become a saga of whoa despite a launch for a ps4, so bad he got kicked out of the play store. Cd projekt red’s game is now the top selling ps4 digital game in june, and it reached that milestone after being available for just 10 days. It’S clear, the version 1.23 patch has brought the game within the.
I don’t even what’s the point of this sound, we don’t even need the sentence. You know what i think the real story here is it’s the only new game for that 20 year old console. That’S probably what’s happening here, just kidding, there’s more ps4 news.
That’S right! Your ps4 can now mine cryptocurrency, a crypto mining farm in the ukraine was rated and shut down after it was found to be stealing over 250 thousand dollars worth of electricity from the grid. The security service of ukraine complicated over 5000 gaming related devices, most of which appear to be ps4, pros, lined neatly on shelves in a warehouse. Why couldn’t all cryptominers use old ps4s instead of all the good gpus that they took from us? I don’t know – apparently that’s only good enough for ukraine and that’s it for this episode. So come back on friday for more tech news and also more people standing in front of the camera. It’S not going to be me.
Probably someone else. Bye, .
