Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “It’s Worse Than We Thought”.
Today, in Tech news events occurred and person, slash group is responsible, others say person, slash group has been making. The events occur for a long time period more on that right now the great Asus warranty Scandal of 2023. That’S what I’m calling it has gotten a little more interesting Hardware. Busters have alleged that Asus.
Isn’T the only am5 motherboard manufacturer exceeding the 1.3 volt SOC voltage limit meant to protect ryzen 7000 x3d series CPUs from sploding after testing a gigabyte, auras Master x670e board Hardware. Busters found that the soc voltage exceeded 1.36 volts after updating the BIOS that supposedly applied the voltage safety cap. Not so much vindicating Asus as implying gigabyte and potentially other motherboard makers need to step up in the making sure your products don’t blow up Department like none of us did. Let’S do it now. After this analysis, went up. Buildzoid went to Twitter to claim that Gamer’s Nexus was measuring the voltages wrong in their investigation of asus’s motherboards and GN destroyed them with facts by just politely disagreeing and stating how they measured their results. Nerds are discussing methodology and it is getting on Friday. Hardware unboxed went off on a fan for suggesting they needed to keep their credibility, stating they weren’t going to stop reviewing Asus products, because a reviewing their products is one way to call them out and B, Because finding tech companies that haven’t done a ton of anti-consumer Crap is like finding a milkshake in a ton of crap like cool, you found a milkshake, but are you sure it’s chocolate? It’S a poop joke to be fair to Asus. They did just publish an update, clarifying that installing beta bioses to fix this problem does not void your warranty.
That’S right. Faced with a sizable controversy over their lack of concern for their customers, the company thought wow. We should definitely address this after the weekend.
You coming to beers tonight, that’s what they say in Taiwan right man when we did our Asus poetry slam on Friday. We had no idea, it would generate so much drama. So many feelings clearly about us, people were crying in the audience. Apple is prepping for a win by ramping up testing of their next gen M3 chips. According to German’s, sermon Apple’s been squirming to remove the worm in their Mac sales figures.
Jacob isn’t here, but he’s here in spirit their sales figures, which were down 31 last quarter. Sure they could reduce MacBook prices and make it more affordable to buy one of their great products, but what? If, instead of that, they use the more expensive three nanometer process for their M3 chips. So they can add more cores and more memory, based indeed German says. The Baseline M3 Pro will have two more CPU and GPU cores than the M2 Pro, which itself had two more CPU and GPU cores than the M1 Pro sensing a pattern. Every day there will be another core until something changes, we’re going to add cores. However, German determined that the M3 Pro currently being tested has 36 gigabytes of memory, which is four more than the highest spec of the M2 Pro MacBooks. So, like two 18 gigabyte sticks in dual Channel. This makes me physically uncomfortable.
It would be so cool, oh just so I can think of something else. Mark German said the long-awaited 15-inch MacBook Air will come out equipped with an M2 Chip just in time for summer, so get ready for that. Macbook’S announcement to be overshadowed by the announcement of Apple’s, VR headset at WWDC, you can go live in Apple’s world Tim Cook will sing you to sleep, and the European Union has given their blessing for Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the company that had a dream of Being judged not by its Leader’s history of sexual harassment allegations but by the content of its game, Library, yeah gon na leave that alone. Sometimes you just make a Martin Luther King joke for no reason, and the EU didn’t do this for nothing. The merger approval is subject to conditions that Microsoft suggested to assuage concerns that this would affect the cloud gaming slash cloud game streaming Market which a lot of people care about.
The European commission’s concerns were that since cloud gaming is still a young Market. The availability of games, like Call of Duty, could affect it if Microsoft were to make Cod exclusive to Game Pass. Ultimate, the company would be able to virtually monopolize the pre-teens, who just learned a new slur demographic, a key segment for advertisers.
In fact, the UK’s competition and markets Authority blocked the merger because of similar concerns about the cloud gaming Market. As a compromise, Microsoft offered a 10-year plan to provide licenses to consumers in the European economic area that would allow them to stream any Activision Blizzard PC games. They own using any streaming service and a corresponding license to any streaming service platforms to provide that capability. So what happens when that license agreement is up. Who cares, we’ll probably all be killed by self-aware AI by that, so I’m looking forward to it live for now. Now it’s time for quick bits, bro quick bits, not in my city. Thanks, Paradox: interactive for sponsoring this video City. Skylines is a city building simulation game, but it’s not your regular City, Sim City skylines allows you to build a public transit routes, construct highways and you can even buy neighboring plots of land increasing the size of your city.
It’S not all fun and games. You’Ll need to manage your city’s budget while dealing with issues like traffic and sewage systems to keep crap running downhill. Now you can play it for free from May 18th to 22nd and find the mayor that’s been inside you all along. I bribed the mayor, so we could include all five quick pits.
Just don’t tell anyone the pixel 7 is this Summer’s hottest phone, a sentence that will make sense once I let you know that pixel 6 and 7 users have reported as sudden unexplained bug that’s causing their phones to overheat. The apparent cause is a recent app update. That’S causing the Google app to suck up battery life like a wild cherry, Capri, Sun. In some cases, these issues have cut usable screen time in half.
The phones are likewise charging slower and running dangerously hot, prompting some users to turn their pixels into popsicles. By sticking them in the freezer nutritious and delicious, and they take great photos a great summer treat users have tried rolling back to a previous update and even full Factory resets, neither of which seem to work. All there’s left to do is wait for Google to hurry up and fix their 600 butt warmers, which is of little Comfort here in western Canada, where the country is literally on fire.
A startup called Telly wants to give you a TV for free. All it costs is everything. The television comes with a second banner-like screen, which will be fully or partially taken out by ads pretty much at all times, and the TV May collect information about the content. You watch and may also track the physical presence of you and any other individuals using the TV at any time. Now, as we mentioned, you can get the TV for free or you can opt out of sharing all your data and pay 500 to keep it.
If you are okay with installing a billboard in your living room, if I let them install a probe in my head, will they pay me? The dystopia is here: I’ve always wanted cyberpunk 2077 to be real. A private company called Reya space activity has received funding from the U.S space force to rescue the Spitzer Space Telescope. The Observatory was launched 20 years ago and remained mostly operational until three years ago, when communication stopped working, I’m not saying it’s aliens, but in a plan backed by multiple groups, including Lockheed Martin, a small craft would be sent to act as a relay between Spitzer and Earth within spitzing distance – you could say the eventual hope is to use the telescope as an early warning system for Dangerous asteroids, because if we have enough time we won’t have to send Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck again.
They are so tired of this Zelda tears of the Kingdom. Players are getting creative by using the in-game mechanics to build tanks, planes and even mechs, but also many many many lots of penises there’s just so many you can build anything more like tears of the schwingdom. Am I right, okay can make anything you can imagine which is mostly Nintendo, severely overestimated. My imagination, perhaps as revenge for the golden turd players received for rescuing all 900 koroks in breath of the wild. A lot of Creative Energy has gone towards torturing the annoying creatures in different ways involving crucifixions, and I have to assume penises as well.
As we’ve never said the word this many times in the show. Oh wow, everyone is freaking out about the era of 100 gigabyte games. Meanwhile, Nintendo fit an open world war, crime simulator into 16.3 gigs we’ll get there and the creator of the Oculus Palmer lucky tweeted quote the Apple headset is so good end quote: what else did he say nothing. Did he go into more detail? No are, we sure, he’s actually touched an apple headset. Not really is this the real Palmer lucky? Well, there’s a blue check mark next to his name, but what does that even mean anymore anyway? The headset’s going to be announced June 5th? Probably, but will it be expensive almost certainly, but it will cost you nothing to come back on Wednesday, and why wouldn’t you don’t you like us, we’re cool we’re cool people right like like? Not just my mom, I think so I just she doesn’t. She doesn’t watch the show so .
