Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The Lenovo Lockdown 👿”.
Oh man, i wish i could tell you what the tech news is today, because it is wild just crazy. That’S what you’re doing tell them now. That’S! Oh, oh, okay, sure lenovo is continuing the annoying trend of making the pc as a platform less free and open than it used to be by using amd’s platform, secure boot feature to lock ryzen cpus to a specific system. Oh good, i mean why would you want to take a cpu from one system and put it in another one anyways, that’s where it goes. Do i take the salt and put in the pepper, shaker madness? You don’t do that? No, no! No! Never the feature essentially bricks, a processor if you try to put in a pc from a different manufacturer, and although this technology was more meant for servers in the name of enhanced security according to serve the home, lenovo is now doing us all a favor and bringing It to desktop pcs. Thank you lenovo, so you want to check a model’s compatibility before you reuse. A cpu try to do some troubleshooting on another machine or buy a processor second hand and make sure you thank lenovo for the higher security. While you do it or you i’ll, protect you cold, if you’re thinking about picking up an xbox one as a cheaper alternative to the price inflated xbox series x and s, you might want to move quickly. It turns out microsoft actually stopped making them at the end of 2020, which is something you just assume.
A console maker would do when the next model is released, if not for the fact that sony recently increased production of ps4s to provide a budget-friendly ps5 alternative, which is a bit like grilling extra veggies to make up for the lack of steak at the stake. Grilling championship right across the street from a steakhouse restaurant. I don’t think that what, if that technology is weak who wrote this? What does this say? Obviously, you can still find new xbox ones in stores, but with no new units rolling off the production line, they’re a dying breed, don’t worry, microsoft will probably release the xcloud streaming hdmi dongle thing soon till then you got a phone. Don’T you candy crush, is waiting pokemon go yeah, you got, you got options and netflix is ringing in the new year by surprising its fans with another lovely price hike.
Wow. Thank you for american users. The price increases are between one and two dollars per month. Depending on what tier of service you subscribe to joker or yokel they’re playing for you for a full year. They got you. This may not sound like very much, but with people trying to eliminate extraneous expenses.
As a result of the pandemic, it may push up quite a few subscribers who now have plenty of other streaming services to choose from virtually all of which are less expensive, of course, to justify the higher prices. Netflix has also been aggressive on getting rights to more and more content, because the more something you have, the better you are as a person right riley, i’m going for a yacht, you’re a maximalist. I, like it big boy, i’m trying to get as big as i can now it’s time for the quick bits brought to you by the volta spark a 60 watt nylon, braided charging cable that volta says, is 10 times stronger than other weak and useless cables. That didn’t even pass basic training worthless. The spark supports fast charging on apple and samsung devices with quick charge. 4.0 features a snag safe magnetic connector that reduces the risk of accidents and lets you swap between lightning micro, usb and usb type c tips and, if you’re, even more extreme, there’s also a 100 watt version, so check out volta and use code tech linked to get 20 off spark cables for the next 48 hours at the link below i’ll.
Take any bits you got, but it’s nice when they’re quick, i don’t know not a complainer. I got some long bits. Give me the bits it turns out. You can overclock the non-k versions of intel’s new alder lake cpus. After all, the news was made public by tech youtuber der bauer, who was able to get an i5 12600 up to 5.1 gigahertz on all cores using only base clock overclocking, which enabled in the tweaker’s paradise section of the asus motherboard bios. Is that a real thing? But keep in mind, this was only supported on boards with an external clock generator which most cheaper motherboards lack. The other ones do not live in a tweaker’s paradise. Let me be clear: yeah amazon made headlines recently for its plans to stop accepting uk issued visa credit cards, allegedly due to high processing fees, but the retailer just announced. This will no longer be the case, and british shoppers will still be able to use their visa cards. The cut-off date was supposed to be january 19th, but many speculate.
This was all just a bargaining tactic. What what no amazon was doing this for the good of the people? I honestly want to buy one of those sanity booths. It might help, i hope so. Something needs to help. Crypto heist made plenty of headlines in 2021 and it turns out north korea might have been behind a good chunk of them. The regime reportedly stole nearly 400 million dollars worth of crypto last year and 1.5 billion dollars over the past five.
Given that the north korean economy continues to face sanctions from international community, the stolen crypto is believed to make up a significant portion of the country’s treasure to get it back. We need nic cage on this stack. I love nick cage. There’S a pyramid involved.
Do you ever wonder what it’d be like to try and use modern internet on a super old pc? One tech enthusiast recorded himself trying to connect with a 31.2 kilobit dial-up connection on a windows 98 system. It turns out. He couldn’t even connect to most websites directly at all and instead had to use a proxy which downloaded the pages to his pc. You can check out the whole 23-minute experiment at the link we provide in the description or you can watch riley unbox a phone.
He doesn’t even care about. Oh up to you. I didn’t say that you didn’t like it eh. I thought it was fine. Fine, all right! This might soon be a reality, as fedex has asked the faa for permission to install them as one of them. What are you doing? Riley i said faa. The fad come on get with the program bud.
Fedex has asked permission to install them on one of its new fleets of cargo planes. Fedex is concerned about civilian airplanes being targeted by portable anti-aircraft weapons such as those that have made headlines in russia and iran over the last decade. No word yet on what the odds are. The plans will get approved, but i don’t think a plane with a freaking laser beam attached to its fuselage is too much to ask for come on. Give me give me the lasers oh come on.
It is too much to ask for more tech news at this point. So come back on wednesday for more, oh, i can’t wait to tell you about all that stuff either right. We don’t know what it is yet we’re gon na find out yeah. We don’t have together next episode. .
