Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Macbooks could catch FIRE!?”.
Linus is live streaming right now, so unfortunately, I have to do all of the whole tech linked episode in this kind of sultry voice. Is that, okay, what mmm-? What’S that AMD, is rising up? You booed before I even said it they’re rising up back on the street and by the street I mean the leaked benchmarks. Scores for AMD’s upcoming $ 400 rise in 738 hundred x have surfaced on Geekbench and things look pretty good, Intel’s $ 480 core. I $ 9.99 hundred K beat the 3,800 X by just 1 % in single thread performance, but the 3,800 X beat the 909 hundred K by 5 % in a multi thread test. Did you get that 900 K is more expensive, but it got beat.
Okay. James has got it. This isn’t, strictly speaking, a fair comparison, but it certainly serves to keep up the hype for the rise in 3000 launch in a couple weeks. Intel seems to acknowledge the threat digi Times reports the company plans to cut pricing of its eighth and ninth gen processors by 10 to 15 percent. That would drop the 99 hundred K down to just a few dollars more than the 3800, not only making the price to performance proposition more attractive, but also making it more apparent than ever that Intel there in some deep, Google’s pixel slate had a less than enthusiastic Reception from the tech community and Google didn’t like how that made them feel deep inside, so the company has dropped development of the two smaller pixel tablets.
It was working on and will no longer be producing first-party tablets for the foreseeable future. See you later. This is all according to google reps, who confirmed the details with the press. The company will, however, continue development on pixel book style laptops and will work with third-party manufacturers to continue support for Chrome, OS tablets. Honestly, Google, that’s fine, there’s nothing wrong with admitting they screwed up like really bad. The pixels slate speakers were actually really good. Though, did you ever hear them? I care and light based wireless internet or life. I has been taking its sweet time getting to the general public, but now one of the first commercial products to use it has been announced signify. The company formerly known as Philips hue did. You know I didn’t has unveiled true life, I a range of lights and USB dongle transceivers that will enable data speeds of up to 150 megabits per second there’s, also a fixed point to point system that can reach up to 250 megabits per second, the true-life. I line is targeted at professional markets like office buildings, where there may be tons of Wi-Fi interference so rather than fumbling with your Wi-Fi settings, you could just plug in your USB dongle and get internet from the LED tubes in the ceiling.
That’S why they glow so bright yeah, well, keep! If you can get to my dongle, I keep I keep. My dog will secret any dongle now it’s time for quick bits.

What’S that, Oh users can put in their serial number on Apple’s website to see if their machine is affected, if it is, they can bring it in to an Apple Store and then wait up to two weeks to get it back as much as I’d love to See Apple products go up in flames, I wouldn’t. Why did I write that if you have a 2015 MacBook, you should probably get a checked out for safety. Look, I they’re fine, you have a plane.
The US has added more Chinese tech companies to the list of entities banned from doing business with American companies. The most recognizable among them is probably static. The joint that’s its name, the joint venture between AMD and the Chinese government to produce Chinese processors based on AMD’s designs.
You’Ve heard of that, I won’t try to pronounce the names of the other companies on the list, but some of them build supercomputers using Intel and NVIDIA parts. I guess they can try, maybe using Huawei processors. Now, speaking of Chinese companies, vivo has unveiled their new flash charge technology which can operate at 120 watts and charge a 4000 milliamp hour battery to a 100 % in just 13 minutes seconds.
Now you might only get five charging cycles out of your phone before it’s self combusts, but hey. What’S the point of keeping a phone for years, if it’s just charging half the time live life in the fast lane. Like me, I do so many crazy things. What’S what’s that Amazon hasn’t yet rolled out their delivery drones? Never, but once they do fly out, the company will be looking to provide surveillance as a service to customers, so you’d pay Amazon to have its delivery.
Drones. Look for possible security threats on your property like open garage doors, broken windows or fire when they fly overhead, so they not only want to film me and my kids that I don’t have, but they also want me to pay for it. You know up yard, that’s not that no, and you might have heard all this fuss about young people, growing horns or spikes in their head, supposedly because of smartphone use. But the actual study doesn’t make any sort of claim about the skull protrusions being correlated to or caused by phones, as marius HM points out on the lightest active forms.
The original researchers don’t link the growths to technology but to changes in trends of human posture. So don’t worry about growing horns guys unless you want that, in which case I’m sorry, [ Applause ] could be did books could be to newspapers, I’m just sayin.
