Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Intel’s holding out on me…”.
Okay, stop you don’t have any tech news, i won’t allow it sit down sit down. I got the tech news. It’S finally happened. Reddit has gone from making memes about stonks to turning the real stock market into a stonks meme. You see this week the folks over at r slash wall street bets decided on mass to buy stocks in gamestop the video game retail chain that hasn’t been in the best shape financially for quite some time now. The rapid influx of netizens suddenly buying shares through online brokerages, seemingly caused many such brokerages to crash from all the traffic and elon musk. As usual.
Wasn’T helping or was helping, depending on how you see things he tweeted gamestonk, with a link to the wall street bet subreddit thanks elon now, apparently this isn’t just a meme for these redditors gamestop’s value rising by over a thousand percent compared to last year, is actually Causing hedge funds that shorted the gamestop stock to lose money by the billions which has given the subreddit a real like robin hood vibe. It’S also caused more traditional wall, street traders and federal regulators to panic, because they’re supposed to be the ones artificially manipulating the stock market, not reddit do you. People have no respect for entrenched.
Hierarchies intel has reportedly begun shipping, its dg1, discrete graphics, card to oems and system builders who will sell it as part of pre-built systems and, if you’re upset about that, because you wanted to buy one for yourself, gamers don’t be. Although the dg1 uses the same z, graphics, architecture found in intel’s latest mobile processors, it is actually excuse me less powerful than the top-end laptop parts, with only 80 out of 96 execution units enabled and 4 gigs of lpddr4x memory. Plus this thing won’t work in systems that don’t have a 9th or 10th gen intel cpu because they require a special bios to function.
So no, no, you will not be making a frankenstein amd. Cpu intel, graphics, monstrosity of a computer, at least not yet. Meanwhile, intel graphics, chief, raja kaduri shared an image of intel’s ponte vecchio vecchio yeah thanks the largest chip in the z family and showed off its uh chiplets. Now this thing’s meant to be for data centers, not for gaming. So you know my take on this is rude: okay, rude throwing this in our face. It’S like! I just want a gaming, pc and you’re saying no, no! You either get like a game and watch or you get like a game-altering super computer yeah. Nothing in between. I want the middle.
I want the oreo right. I want the the the icing frosting sugar, sugar and sony has announced its latest flagship, mirrorless camera the a1 for 6500 us dollars, but that doesn’t even seem that expensive, when you consider that it’s only the second mirrorless camera with 8k video recording to exist ever so. This is actually a really good deal and it’s an even better deal after you bundle sony’s new xperia pro phone, which is basically the same phone as last year’s, but with an added micro, hdmi port. So you can use it as a camera, monitor wow a reason to buy a sony phone mind you.
It costs twenty five hundred dollars. So i hope you got in on those game stunks now it’s time for the bat quicks brought to you by private internet access. No bats go away.

That’S how fast i was german enthusiast site computer base claims to have found a list of all of nvidia’s, rtx 30 series, mobile gpu variants, and there is 28 of them, including 12 rtx, 38 configurations, three of which are apparently max q. So while nvidia may not be killing the branding, they’re, probably killing customer satisfaction for people who just bought a gaming laptop only to realize that it can barely run angry birds. Oneplus co-founder carl pay has officially announced his next company.
It’S called nothing dude. That is so. It’S so deep, nothing has a slew of famous investors behind it, including youtuber casey neistat, and its name also describes what the company has said. They’Re working on actually no, that’s not true. The plan is to release products in multiple categories, with the eventual goal of people hanging out with no laptop screen, no phone screen and no smart watch screen.
Gotcha carl. The screen is gon na, be in your mind and spacex is adding laser links to its latest starling satellites, which will help increase coverage in polar regions without requiring more base stations on earth, and i’m sure that these laser-equipped spacecraft have nothing to do with the fact That elon musk has been bashing jeff, bezos and amazon on twitter over their plans to launch a competing satellite internet service. Nothing at all. An automated bot on the secure messaging service telegram has been selling access to a database of 500 million facebook users phone numbers which leaked in 2019. Well, thank goodness. We all escaped whatsapp and found telegram right this bastion of security and privacy, but hey you can always use signal, or at least you’ll be able to when their app starts working. You know what screw it? Fine zuckerberg! Fine you win, we cannot block your soil and finally, a recently unearthed nvidia patent, also from 2019, describes a game controller with a third pair of trigger buttons and a trackball instead of a second joystick how’s. This even news, it’s hard to believe that nvidia would try this after the steam controller’s very short heyday, but i don’t know. Maybe this is the way console players will even the odds in online shooters.
