Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Fired by a COMPUTER?!”.
Time for the tech news now with five percent, less artificial flavorings historically, there hasn’t been a whole lot of variety in the motherboard market, in terms of which manufacturer to buy from, but there’s some big news as it looks like one major company is finally gon na Start providing boards for fans of team red evga has just released a video teaser for its dark series of motherboards that don’t bother with rgb lighting or other ostentatious bling, but the trailer very obviously put a ryzen logo behind the dark emblem suggesting that we’ll be seeing Evga make amd compatible boards for the first time in a very very long time. The move makes sense. Considering amd has been experiencing a surge in popularity ever since first gen ryzen, and it’s never smart to ignore a huge swath of your potential market. Just ask the folks at blackberry who thought serious professionals wouldn’t be interested in the iphone wait. They were right. Actually, yeah amazon has made plenty of headlines recently for the way it treats its workers and now another piece of embarrassing news has come out as a bloomberg report has revealed that the tech giant is hiring and firing drivers through an algorithm. The affected workers are part of amazon’s flex delivery program, a gig based contract employment scheme, where people can deliver packages on their own time kind of like uber, but for amazon orders, while it might make some sense to automate the hr process for these types of roles.
The rub is that many drivers are reportedly being fired for on-the-job mishaps that aren’t their fault, such as flat tire closed gates at a delivery, location or even faulty amazon lockers, as the algorithm thinks drivers simply aren’t making deliveries on time. Well, it’s not wrong. True. Just out of their control terminated, drivers reportedly have very little recourse, as they have to pay 200 bucks just to appeal, and even that isn’t a sure thing i mean we already have to deal with terrible human bosses enough. Not talking about you, of course, linus you’re, great you’re, fantastic. Thank you he’s not human.
He is a robot. If anybody knows how to clone lines, you let us know, despite how much technology has advanced over the last few decades, we still aren’t driving flying cars everywhere, but it looks like we might finally have something close to a real proof of concept as an honest-to-goodness flying Car has completed a test flight between two cities in slovakia, dubbed the air car. The front half of the prototype looks a lot like a standard car with the rest of the body featuring wings and an empanadas. What does that even mean who wrote this? It runs on regular gasoline, it can fly about 600 miles or a thousand kilometers at an altitude of 8 200 feet or 2 500 meters according to its inventor during the flight, the air car got up to speeds of about 105 mph or 170 kph.
So, while it’s not as fast as taking a commercial aircraft, it’s a heck of a lot faster than sitting in rush hour in bratislava, we’ve all been there. You know, of course, with how bad the drivers are here in vancouver. I really wonder about the wisdom of giving them all a pair of wings. Please please, for the love of all that’s good.

You know how microsoft is only including 8th, gen intel and zen 2 and newer cpus on his compatibility list for windows. 11.. Well, microsoft has come out today and said you won’t need any specific cpu to run the preview, build for windows insiders and they may end up backtracking and allowing more cpus to run win11 in the future. They love us. What were we just saying about ignoring a huge swath of your potential market? Don’T do it don’t do it? Bad lg is rolling out firmware updates for its 2021 oleds to support 4k 120 hertz with dolby vision boom got em. The update is aimed at xbox series x owners whose consoles have the ability to output dolby vision at 4k 120, though there aren’t any supported games out for the platform. Yet lg is also looking at updating its 2020 oled sets and qnet displays should also be getting the update. Hopefully, compatible games will follow soon before lg releases.
Another alphabet, soup, tv lineup, it’s a joke, hey that’s a little dig at lg xbox cloud streaming is now available not only via web browser to everyone, but also on all compatible ios devices. Previously desktop users had to download an app, so this will make getting onto the service a little easier plus xbox is now caught up to google stadia in terms of availability on apple devices. I guess google’s. Only real advantage in streaming is now gone, bye-bye see ya and if you’re flying on united anytime soon, the airline just announced that bluetooth audio will be available on some of their planes, starting in 2025.
Removing the necessity of getting tangled with a cable in a cramped, airplane seat or even worse, having to use the complimentary headphones that sound. Like charlie brown’s teacher, i have to wonder why it’s taking that long to add such a simple feature, but i guess he can always entertain yourself in the meantime. By doing the crossover puzzle and the in-flight magazine that someone’s already probably filled out, i put on the face mask: that’s it for today come back friday for more tech news with two inches of extra leg room.
