Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Nvidia goes OPEN-SOURCE??”.
Huh, nice channel, you got here. It’d, be a shame if someone messed with it. [, Linus ]. No, no, no, no, not the bananas, no God ShortCircuit! Why -‘Cause we’re the best. Nvidia has done something very unusual for the company. It’S published its graphic kernel modules for Linux, as open-source software.
See AMD regularly, open-sources all sorts of things from FreeSync to Vulkan drivers, but Team Green keeps things bottled up inside.. Maybe that’s why they’re green? I don’t know. [ Linus ]! It’S not healthy.! It’S showing in their face. It’s like that, emoji that green emoji., Yeah.
Ugh., And once you look deeper, it’s clear that Nvidia has done this whole open-source thing in a very Nvidia way. They’ve moved much of their proprietary code into the graphics card, firmware which can be Accessed by the driver, but it’s not open-source itself.. The driver also has alpha support for gaming graphic cards from the G4 16 series and up and will only receive periodic updates from Nvidia..
So community input is limited., [, Linus, ] Boo.. However, some enthusiasts are still praising the move, since it means Nvidia. Drivers can now be included with Linux distros., So Nvidia GPUs can work out of the box without messing up your installation. Wow right, Wow.
[ Linus ], You buy’em from Best Buy. Yeah. Linux news. Is this: what kids really want these days? [ Linus ] Yeah? That’S what my kid tells me: he wants.
Linux., A Texas law called HB 20, has just taken effect, which allows the state’s citizen or the attorney general to sue social media platforms for banning demonetizing or otherwise restricting a user based on their viewpoint.. Such a law would make almost every moderation feature used by sites like Twitter, YouTube and Facebook illegal., Because that sounds pretty whack. The law has been blocked by a court injunction since December, but on Wednesday, a panel of three appeals court judges voted to lift the block, because two of them were apparently under their impression that Twitter and YouTube were not websites but internet service. Providers. [ Linus ] They’re, not websites, they’re, a state of mind.
Yeah. It’S a vibe dude.. If the law stands, Twitter could end up being a lot more free, even if Elon doesn’t buy it, which might be the case since he says the deal is currently on.
Hold. Elon: what is this a joke to you Wait? I know the answer. I’M the joke. ( both laughing loudly ) And the cryptocurrency universe, is still being rocked by the crash of stablecoin TerraUSD. ( chuckles softly ) Stablecoin. (, both laughing loudly ) [, Linus ].
Why are you laughing -‘Cause stablecoin., Which has now been delisted from major crypto exchanges like Bitfinex and FTX, and had its blockchain disabled by the coin’s creators.? People are just too afraid. I guess everyone’s a coward these days, except for Apple and crypto burrows., [, Linus ]. The two heroes of our society – Please save us crypto, burrows., Tethers USDT, another stablecoin that is meant to be pegged to the U.S. dollar, also saw its value drop to 97 cents.
Before recovering thanks to Tethers dumping $ 300 million into the coin.. You may have a strong opinion about crypto, but analysts seem uncertain about whether the bubble is finally bursting.. There’S a good chance. El Salvador might not actually get around to building that golden volcano city shaped like a Bitcoin. [ Linus ], But I already bought real estate.. I paid for it with Luna. Ooh..
I bought it with ETH.. Now is the time for Quick Bits brought to you, XSplit the trusted livestreaming and recording software for gaming presentations live events, hot dog competitions, regular dog competitions, but you name it XSplit’s got it all Broadcaster. The all in one streaming and recording solution, Connect Webcam, which lets you use your phone as a webcam.
I actually used it its pretty good Presenter for adding personality, flare and interactivity to your stream Capture, which lets you annotate and add, voiceovers to shareable images and video clips and VCam a virtual background. Tool. Get everything you need to make awesome streams and use code LINUS at the link below to save 10 % today.. I don’t know why you should call them Quick Bits.
You should call them ShortCircuits. [, Linus ]. No, I’m not stop it Jono.. What are those moves? Support for AMD’s, FSR, 2.0 upscaling has finally rolled out in its first game. “ Deathloop” after much teasing. Team Red was very naughty and so far impressions from Digital Foundry and others are good. While Nvidia’s DLSS and Intel’s XeSS use machine learning and specialized hardware, FSR 2.0 uses standard, GPU compute units to run its temporal upscaling technique, which is tuned by humans instead of AI.. So it’s a bit more artisanal..
You might find this temporal upscaling technique at the local farmer’s market instead of the mall. [ Linus ], It’s made with hemp. Mm.
End of., Reliable Apple analyst, Ming-Chi, Kuo and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman have both published reports claiming that Apple is currently testing iPhone models with USB-C Ports instead of Lightning ports, you know old stuff.. No, you haven’t been struck by lightning.. It seems like EU’s upcoming regulations, have finally forced Apple to put USB-C into one of the last products that they make that doesn’t have it..
You got ta admire the dedication to being the most stubborn tech company, though, that they know who they are.. [ Linus ], Google who’s, Google, Google doesn’t know. Meta, [, Linus, ] Facebook.
GPU prices are falling, which means we are gon na see an old relic. Come back to life. Graphic card game, bundles.
Yay, Happy Christmas. Woohoo. It would be the third time I got “ DOOM Eternal” (, both laughing loudly ), See in ye olden times.
Gpus would usually be bundled with a game, but AMD and Nvidia stopped the practice when it became. Apparently they didn’t need any help, selling out of the game. For the stocks. Sure the games are often not quite the cream of the crop but free stuff. In any capacity should be welcomed right now.
Have you seen the freaking gas prices, Oh. [ Linus ]? Oh I haven’t. I fly to work.. Bethesda has announced that the release dates for heavily anticipated games.
“ Starfield” and “ Redfall” have both been delayed into 2023. [ Linus ] Ugh., While the delays always suck it’s the same type of suck as like taking the cake out of your oven and realizing. It needs another 20 minutes., You don’t wan na eat, goopy cake or maybe you do “ Star Citizen” is waiting. And lizard man.
Mark Zuckerberg has shown off a video of himself trying an augmented reality. Demo in Meta’s upcoming project, Cambria, VR headset using only hand tracking controls. Cambria is supposed to be geared more towards work use cases, which is why the demo involved Mark throwing a ball around for CGI bunnies., (, chuckles, softly ). Someone has to walk Mr. Sprinkles or he and his family is gon na, be deleted. [, Linus ], That’s the corporate world.! Well, I guess that’s what passes for a TechLinked video. These days. Come back on Monday if you want more whatever this was., But I heard that there’s a super cool channel called ShortCircuit that you should check out soon..
No, you could not., You can’t check it out.. What about They’re, Just Movies [, Linus, ] Nope? Well: okay, fine. They’re, Just Movies fine. They’re, Just Movies, please subscribe.
[ Linus ]! Where are my bananas? .
