Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “DON’T buy a Pre-Built PC…”.
My doctor advised me that if I keep doing all this tech news, I could have an achondromascular granulism before the year’s out.. You know I told him “ It’s worth it., It’s worth it (, beep, ) .” In case you do other things with your time than doomscroll social media. This morning, Facebook itself Instagram, Oculus, WhatsApp and Messenger all stopped working for hours and are still down at the time of filming. And I’m just tickled pink.. This is great wow (, laughs ).
This is so awesome. Life is good.. This is so great.. The issue appears to involve Facebook’s BGP configuration..
It stands for border gateway protocol, which is responsible for routing traffic across the internet.. The outages led tons of users to check other sites like Twitter to see what was going on leading to Twitter experiencing loading errors as it struggled under the traffic. Now. This was all probably caused by an error, Facebook’s engineers made when changing settings, but it happened on the same day that the whistleblower who leaked Facebook’s internal records concerning teens’ mental health and problems with misinformation came forward.
Coincidence. The truth is out there. [, Riley ] James.
No, Your health. They got me. I’ll, never stop.
The 5G, my blood.. If you’re planning on buying a shiny, new Windows – 11 gaming PC, you might be in for a surprise, a rude one, because PC Gamer found that a feature called virtualization-based security or VBS, which is expected to be installed on most Windows, 11 prebuilt can cause gaming performance To drop by as much as 28 %, [ Riley ] That’s more than a quarter. It looks like this might be happening because VBS creates a more secure portion of memory to protect certain kinds of security software from malware..
Unfortunately, that cuts it off from being used by games but put down your pitchfork for now.. Also, why do you have a pitchfork in your house? Are you- [, Riley ] For big macaroni., Because the effect does depend on which game you’re running. And it’s still unclear whether VBS will be enabled by default on gaming, prebuilt or in the Windows ISO you might download to do a clean install..
Hopefully we get some answers when Windows 11 launches tomorrow, o’clock., I knew Microsoft was friendlier with Linux than it used to be, but right now, they’re really trying to boost the user base. There huh [ Riley ] Yeah. They really care about each other. Yeah sharing., [, Riley, ], “.
Here’S some users.” Sharing is caring. Aw. And the design of Intel’s first Arc. Alchemist gaming, desktops graphics card has hit the web.
And, let’s just say we may want to start calling Intel Team Silver., [, Riley, ], Silver fox whoo, That was surfing. YouTuber Moore’s Law is Dead, worked with his insider sources to create 3D renders of the card showing A silver fan shroud with an illuminated Intel logo on the top, alongside a six pin and a pin power, connector. Nice.
Mm chef’s kiss. That can supply up to 300 watts to the card. But Alchemists is expected to have a much lower TDP using a combination of science and magic. [ Riley ] Alchemist are getting into alchemy..
That’S how Riley was conceived. [, Riley, ] Powerful.. Unfortunately, Moore’s Law, the YouTuber, says we won’t see the cards available for purchase until the second quarter of next year., And even that assumes the chip shortage won’t delay it even more.. But some analysts expect that Intel could use lower prices to compete with graphics, heavyweights, NVIDIA and AMD, so they might just be worth the wait., Not that you have any choice, but you wait and save. [ Riley ].
You wait. That’S just what life is.! Unless the shortage gets worse and then you wait and save and pay more. [ Riley ], Then you die., It’s all gon na net out. Just get what you can get when you can get it guys., Just like this..
Now it’s time for the quick bits brought to you by TEAMGROUP, who recently announced new overclock, DDR5 memory, better heat dissipation, larger capacity RAM and a bunch of other tech at their annual Team, Event. And they’re. Celebrating with sick giveaways., A ton of prizes are available to be won like SSDs RAM, a Nintendo Switch for goodness sakes or even the grand prize, a $ 3,500 gaming PC..
So watch the event find out how TEAMGROUP can help you boost your PC’s performance and enter for your chance to win at lmg.gg/Teamevent21 or by using the link in the video description. ,’Cause we’re nice., Quick bits.. If you can’t see them they’re behind you., [, Riley, ] Woohoo, If you thought the feud between ex-president and current nobody Donald Trump and Twitter, was over you’d be wrong, as Trump has filed suit against Twitter over his permaban. Get over it.
Man. Trump is arguing that Twitter’s actions violate Florida’s new deplatforming law, which prevents social media platforms from banning politicians., But that law is actually not currently in force due to a court decision. That said, it actually violates the free speech rights of social media companies to host the kinds of content they wan na host.. Wait did Trump take down Facebook, [ Riley ], His son’s really good at hacking.. The Epic Games Store is finally getting achievements.
After being criticized for their own omission, since the store was launched., The system will work similarly to what you might see on Steam or consoles, naturally, with developers being able to put in achievements that have to add up to a thousand points per game.. Not sure why this took so long, maybe Epic was using all their achievement points on lawyers. Ay boom, God, nice, one James. ( James screams, ), [, Riley, ] Whoo. If you’re a YouTube TV subscriber and we’re told you exist, you’ll, be pleased to know that NBC Universal reached a deal with YouTube TV to keep its channels on the service.. The two parties were in a spat that threatened to remove 14 channels at the end of September, including local, NBC, affiliates and NBCSN, the latter being a blow for sports fans who might’ve sought other options as live sports continue to be one of the major drivers of Revenue for cable and cable, like services., And that’s how you know Jon Martin picked these stories.
Baby. [ Riley ], Thanks Jon. We’re not all just nerds.. Some of us are nerdy sports fans.. We do exist. [ Riley, ], Nerd sports ever heard of it. If you’ve been excited to move your money to the digital bank, Google was reportedly launching prepare for disappointment as the product known as Plex that already exists. Google- I know.
Has been canceled. 400,000 people signed up for a waitlist, but lots of staff turnover at Google Pay appears to have sunk. The idea, along with the fact that Google Pay app works much differently depending on where you are in the world. And besides, what’s wrong with traditional banks, except almost everything huh. Do you like fees? Do you like waiting? Do you, like everyone, knowing everything about what you do, How about middlemen? Well, we got a service for you. [, Riley, ], (, indistinct ), the ground, floor. Yeah, don’t buy crypto., That’s for losers and porno. And there’s. Finally, an 8K 60 frames per second game on the PS5.. It’S called “ The Touryst” and it was actually a game that came out on Switch two years ago., But the PS5 version renders natively at 8K without any kind of upscaling., I’m guessing the graphics suck..
Even if you actually have an 8K TV, though you won’t be able to output 8K from the PS5 as the console downsamples the 8K to 4K.. But you’ll still be able to tell your friends that it’s really 8K, which I think is the main point. Anyway. [ Riley ] Whoa, you have 8K And like such a gesture, I think we’ve gotten our point across so comeback on Wednesday for more tech news probably delivered by another host, because I do not feel well. [ Riley ], You have to lie down James. ( James groans ); No stop no .
