Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Here comes the GTX 161691660 Ti!”.
What it can’t be tech linked, it’s real, I’m! Finally, here what Riley you host the show all the time I know I was acting AMD’s Radeon 7 is just a baby GPU having only been announced at CES last week, but nasty rumors about it are still flying. All over the place, it’s been speculated that the new chip will be in very limited supply at first, according to tweak down who might be tweaking on something. So I don’t know tweak town you know about tweaking tweaked’n. According to tweaked’n, an anonymous sources said that there won’t even be 5,000 cards to go around with a new radeon goes up for sale.
There’S also been a rumor that only reference editions of the card would be available, but AMD has pushed back against the rumor saying. Third party boards would be available and that they expect supply to meet demand, which is kind of a weird thing to say like if no one buys the cards, yeah small demands multiplied AMD has struggled in the past with having short supplies at launch like what happened With the RX vega lineup, but hopefully this time things won’t turn out like they did for that KFC in the UK when it ran out of chicken. Do you remember that I was there me oh you’re, from he’s British there’s some GPU news on the nvidia side as well as reports indicate that a new graphics card for folks who don’t want or need ray tracing support is on its way.
The current rumors indicate the card will be called the gtx 1660 TI and kind of a strange choice, considering the flagship series model numbering jumped from 1000 to 2000, but to be fair, that name is just a rumor for now. We’Ve also heard it called the gtx 1160, the 6040 1337, whatever it ends up being called, it will be based on a turing GPU, the tu1 16, to be exact with 6 gigs of GDD are 6 video memory, while it won’t have as many cuda cores as The top-end r-tx lineup, the better memory bandwidth and greater core count than the gtx 1060 indicates. This new card will still probably be a significant upgrade, no word yet on pricing or availability, but seeing as the 1060 is getting a bit long in the tooth, it might be time soon for it to head off to the glue factory.
Oh that’s a bit morbid. John John wrote the script also tooths don’t get longer as you get older teeth. Toots. Oh, I did write. I wrote yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Twitter has just made us all aware of a bug, that’s over four years old, so it must have some pretty long teeth. If you’ve been using Twitter for Android, you might want to check some of your old tweets if you’ve ever protected. Your account, which is supposed to set your tweets to only be visible to those that you approve a software issue caused users who changed certain settings on the mobile app, such as their email address, to have their privacy settings reverted back to public without warning, meaning their Private tweets, weren’t private anymore Twitter says that users who changed settings in this way between November 2014, all the way up to this month, were potentially affected and that they’ve reached out to users that they know are facing this issue. The bug has since been fixed, but you still probably want to double check to make sure none of your hot takes about your employer are floating around there for general consumption. That’S not private! That’S public! Speaking of privacy! It’S time for quick pits presented by privacy. You don’t use the same password everywhere, so I use the same card number everywhere.

So if Google and Apple just weren’t your cup of tea, this poor went out for Windows. Phone boys lived, a good life poured out dude a good life. Have the long-running series of Apple watches.
Got you wondering when Google might hit back with their own SmartWatch lineup yep? Well, Google has just bought some of fossils SmartWatch tech for 40 million bucks to help boost its own where OS and while this doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll see a pixel equivalent on people’s wrists. It might help Google become more competitive in the SmartWatch space. So let’s all watch and see what happens. [ Laughter, ], don’t you just hate it when you’re driving down a stretch of road minding your own business? So much so that you don’t know what the speed limit is and buh something you got a ticket.
Well, Google Maps hopes to alleviate this issue as it’s finally showing users. The speed limit in a handful of US cities a feature that some other GPS services have had for some time. Hopefully, we’ll see it in more and more places as time goes on and we’ll be able to avoid speeding tickets because we didn’t know what the speed limit is.
Spotify is releasing a car view, option that greatly simplifies the interface for use, while driving with larger buttons. To play pause and skip songs. Unfortunately, it only works via bluetooth at this time, not an aux cable, okay, yeah, fair enough. Hopefully this will cut down both on accidents and overzealous cops. Handing out tickets seriously.
One of our team members here just got a ticket for over 500 bucks just for double-tapping to change a song. Are the Royal coffers really that bad? It wasn’t? You know. Well john wrote this. Probably John and Michigan has just become the third US state to give drivers an option for digital license plates instead of traditional metal plates.
Michiganders is apparently what you call people from Michigan Michigan ders anyways people from Michigan can now opt for a display that could allow easy, personalization display parking credentials, send emergency alerts to other drivers and even help the cops alert, the public that a vehicle is stolen, uh Cups, I love the police, pretty cool but seeing as they start at five hundred bucks, I might instead spend the money on something I really want. Like curb feelers, I don’t know what curb feelers are I’m just imagining little fingers on the bottom of the cube? There’S a curb there. That’S our show guys to come back on Monday for more tech news that you can feel like curb feelers .
