Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “IT’S RAINING GPUs!!”.
( surprised, gasping ). You came all the way over here from where you were a few minutes ago. Wow …, The least we could do, is give you some tech news.. I mean good job y’know ( applauding ), Like good job. Watching the crypto crash has been a bit confusing as a PC gamer.. On the one hand, a lot of “ value” has been knocked outta the market, but, on the other hand, ( exaggerated sniffing ), ( exaggerated gasping ). You smell that ( squeaky toy squeaking, ), [ Assistant, ], GPUs, GPUs, baby (, chuckling ), That’s right., As crypto-miners sell their now-useless GPUs prices for graphics cards are dropping along with the price of Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies., So much so that GPUs can be found On sale for less than their original MSRP., What is happening? That’S crazy. As a …. Are they four years old, ( chuckling )? What time is it In the day.
That what you mean, But as PC gamer, writes if you’re going to go out and finally treat yourself to a new frame-dispenser? You might wan na focus on the more mid-range cards, because, if there’s any merit to the deluge of leaks we’ve seen in the past month, Nvidia’s planning to launch their upper tier RTX 40 series cards, this summer. Be wary of impulse decisions.. The time of crypto is ending. ( ethereal ambient electronic music ) ( wordless angelic, falsetto, singing ), The United States and Japan reportedly plan to work together to take on Taiwanese semiconductor powerhouse TSMC.
And no, unfortunately, it doesn’t involve combining a number of cat shaped robots into One man shaped robot. [ Assistant, ], Aah …, Which I’m still hoping, maybe later. The Mega-Tjord.
( Riley laughing ) Tjord ( Assistant, chortling ). According to Japanese industry, publication Nikkei a number of companies from the two countries.. That’S what they’re called will cooperate to design and manufacture 2 nanometer chips and the plan might even involve establishing a new company or a joint manufacturing hub made of robot cats.
Just an idea think about it. [ Assistant ]: It’s morphin’, time. (, Riley laughing ) ( growling ).
What does he do? I haven’t seen the movie. ( chuckling, ) America and Japan better get going, though, because TSMC just unveiled it’s new N2 Process Node, which will start to produce two nanometer chips in 2025, using GAAFET, technology. GAAF- Ga- Get off it.
That’S what I’m calling it. And Elon Musk seem to waffle a bit on his free-speech-focused vision for Twitter in his first all-hands meeting with Twitter employees, the transcript of which was leaked. This week. Among talk of layoffs and wanting to be more like WeChat Musk, said that while people should be able to Tweet, basically whatever they want within the law, it shouldn’t be amplified logically leading to the same sort of algorithmic Twitter-moderation that he initially criticized. [ Assistant, ] Ooh … ( Riley chuckling ).
Oh, he just wanted it a bit different., But I guess you could say that at least now he’s being consistent by firing a number of SpaceX employees who drafted a letter signed by hundreds of their coworkers, criticizing Elon’s public behavior. As CEO of the company. Analysts say, the firing may actually violate labor laws, but this is the world’s richest man we’re talkin’ about.. He has a number of legal options available to him. [ Assistant ], Including getting in a s- Spaceship and that’s what I was gon na say. [ Assistant ].

Rumors about Valve’s follow-up to its Index. Vr headset have sparked up again after YouTuber Brad Lynch posted about a patent recently filed by the company..
It depicts what appears to be a standalone unit with a wider facial interface and a fancy strap.. It’S got little dongles on it., It’s glitter. [ Assistant ] Shut up.
Sprinkles.. It could be true that this mock-up is valve’s upcoming headset code-named “ Deckard”, but it could also be a random drawing by a very, very skilled, toddler., There’s just no way to be sure. But check out Brad’s video.
If you wan na get more specific than that., He gets into the details.. There’S more, are you a replicant [ Assistant ]? I noticed. Apple, said their new Stage Manager feature for iPad. Os 16 requires the ability to memory-swap, so we can only run on M1 iPads., But a developer has now found that A the 64 GB M1 iPad Air doesn’t have memory-swapping, but it can run Stage Manager and B, there’s an internal mode that can actually enable Stage Manager on all older iPads., [ Assistant, ] Gotcha, Now ( chuckling ).

[ Assistant ], Yes Yeah, Although this isn’t a story about Sonos being so great as much as it is about Sonos complying with FTC regulations..
Honestly, these days, that doesn’t seem like a given. [ Assistant ], That guy’s got speakers., ( Riley laughing ). What’S he gon na do Just sets them up around him.
Play. And an international group of researchers has published a study that found workers who spent a week working entirely in virtual reality, reported more anxiety, lower productivity and even migraines., Which doesn’t make Mark Zuckerberg’s vision of The future of work in the Metaverse seem all that enticing. I mean, even if you could play Beat Sabre on your lunch break, would it be worth coming home with a massive headache, Not sure which reality you’re actually in [ Assistant, ], Coming home You’re at home? ( Riley chuckling, ) Stay., A good marker would be if people have legs or not.. I’M sure that this reality is collapsing. So come back on Monday for more tech, news.
