Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Nvidia DELAYS RTX Launch!?”.
Wow, look at this weather beautiful day for tech news. I don’t need this thanks James happy Monday to all, although I can’t blame you if your spirits are a little dampened if you’ve been waiting to get your hands on the new flagship, graphics cards from Nvidia, who announced on their official forum that the GeForce r-tx 20 Atti would be delayed, oh yeah, I’m very angry. Fortunately, the wait shouldn’t be super long, as general availability has only been pushed back one week to the 27th of September or 10 days from today. No reason was given for the delay, but with supply of the new flagship card already super scarce scarce.
I would have said constrained. Okay, super constrained. It isn’t terribly surprising. However, the r-tx 2018 on Ti remains on schedule for general release on September 20th. So the wait will be very short if you really feel compelled to be an early adopter. Let’S just hope. The reason for the delay is supply and not issues with the RT X tech, because I don’t want to spend one more minute of my life without ray tracing when I’m. On my deathbed, honest, although it’s been widely known for a while, that Samsung is working on bringing a foldable smartphone to market, which is also something that we all need in our lives, ASAP right now, yep well, a new challenger has suddenly appeared. Huawei has reportedly thrown its hat into the ring.
They don’t just want to release their own device, but they also want to beat Samsung to the punch. It’S continuously been looking like Samsung would be the first out of the gate, but rumors have been swirling that huawei’s foldable phone could appear as soon as early next year with Huawei CEO Richard you confirming that such a device is less than a year away. He went on to discuss the possibility of a fold-out device that could serve as a replacement for a traditional PC monitor a little far-fetched, though we may have to wait a while to see how that story unfolds. Oh, we have that Oh huh.
Well, if you’re a sucker for retro gaming, you’ll, probably interested in these NES style controllers that were just announced for the Nintendo switch at first glance, they look uh nearly identical to the original NES controllers from the 1980s, with the joy con attachment. On top being the only notice difference, of course, this also means they won’t be compatible with every switch game, as some need, the additional buttons and analog sticks and infrared sensors and vehicles attachments for games. They’Re meant to be used with a library of twenty nes games that will soon be appearing on nintendo switch online and they aren’t cheap either with two of them costing $ 59.99 USD. The d stands for dollars, james, the same price as an entire NES classic, but I somehow have little doubt enough. People will still be lining up to fork over their money.

I’Ve never heard it, but there’s an old saying that you’ll catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. I’Ve never heard it, but apparently Linus, no, not our Linus, but the creator of Linux yeah.
No, not not our Linux, nor oral orders, the other one. The creator of Linux Linus finally appears to have gotten it. As Linus Torvalds has stated, he’s taking a break from maintaining the Linux kernel and apologized for his vulgar tirades against other Linux developers. Twelve ARDS tole Torvalds Torvalds behavior has been infamous in the Linux community for some time, even dismissing politeness as an American concept. Really, though, like manners weren’t a thing before 1776, apparently, were you there? No that’s! When America, that’s! When America broke out from Pangaea, some Amazon employees might be in hot water. After reports revealed that some of them were accepting bribes from Amazon Marketplace, sellers to delete negative reviews and pass along reviewers contact information, the bribes are reportedly more prevalent in China due to workers having lower salaries. It’S unclear how many marketplace sellers have engaged in bribery, but it may explain why some of their shipping costs are so darn high, but there’s some better news on the Amazon front, especially for residents of the Windy City. The first Amazon go location outside of Seattle. Just opened up in the Chicago Loop, that’s what the Windy City refers to as part of a larger push to get the cashier less stores into more major urban markets. Unfortunately, it’s not open on weekends, but I bet they could still make a killing during the lunch hour if they started offering grab-and-go deep-dish pizza.
Is that a Chicago thing whose deep dish that I thought New York had the pizza? Alright, that’s him. The constant state of perplexity, 15 European countries and dependencies along with Washington State in the US, have signed off in a declaration to crackdown on illicit gambling centered around video games, specifically the loop box problem. The declaration also stated the game developers are responsible for making sure their features do not run afoul of gambling laws and, although the statement does not have the force of law, it’s a signal, we may see a number of jurisdictions pass actual restrictions. Well, that sound sounded like a rap with similar effects to each other in the near future. Imagine telling someone ten years ago the governments were legislating, how you unlock content and video games.
I just thought that was I just thought that was interesting. You know, and if you live in the u.s., keep an eye on your smartphones for a presidential alert on Wednesday October 3rd, as FEMA will push out a national emergency alert test. The idea – and it’s a great idea – is to give the president the ability to reach the entire country quickly, if there’s a major event of national impact, but the White House hasn’t indicated whether they might also use the system send out particularly spicy tweets, [ Laughter ].
That’S our show for today so come back on Wednesday for more spicy tech news that won’t give you heartburn. Unless you have a bad reaction to eating tech news. .
