Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “This Will Keep Happening.”.
The Consumer Electronics Show is happening in Las Vegas this week, which means a tech-linked episode. Every weekday filmed here in the studio, not on location because have you been to Vegas there’s just a layer of slime on everything? It’S like it’s underwater demand for desktop gpus hit a 20-year low in 2022, according to data from John Petty research, which I’m sure AMD and Nvidia are super confused by, like guys, we made you these really powerful graphics cards. All we ask in return is all of your money, so team, red, green and blue have responded the only way they know how, by slashing their orders, for more chips from major chip, manufacturer tsmc, they’re thinking Gamers must just not be into gpus right now. So I guess we’ll stop making them. Okay, fine I’ll put a pause on the sarcasm, no one’s buying gpus, because, despite the supply shortage being alleviated last year, prices are still high thanks to Nvidia and even AMD launching their new, quite expensive Flagship gpus, which also seem to carry their own unique burn risks.
They’Re, special – that’s not to say, Nvidia, has totally ignored the budget Market. They just launched a new RTX 3050 with a lower TDP of 115 Watts, so you can save a few cents on your power bill. You know they really know about the concerns of the people. India will be mandating the use of USBC ports for charging portable Electronics weeks after similar legislation from the EU.
Finally got final approval or was signed into law, got a lot of votes or something honestly, I feel like I’ve reported on that story. Like 18 times. India’S reasons for the Mandate seem similar to the eu’s: they want to make life easier for consumers, reduce E-Waste, to protect the environment and make apple do something they don’t want to do because that’s funny. The Bureau of Indian standards would require mobile devices to use USBC by March 2025, although the rules also make room for a second standard charging method for smart watches and other wearables. It’S also important to note that Apple might be able to shimmy its way out of rules like this by making a portless iPhone that charges via magsafe. Since laws like these often have terms saying you have to use USBC for Wired charging, but I really hope Apple does make at least one official USBC iPhone just so we have it because then we have it and, like I said, you’ll want to prepare yourselves for Some hot Tech news from CES this week, usually we have a few pre-show announcements to report on, but for the most part so far, we’ve only gotten some press releases from Samsung about monitors. One is about the 8K Ultra wide, which is not really 8K. So it’s kind of annoying that they keep calling it that they announced that in November, monitor specs are already confusing enough as it is, and another press release is about a color.
Calibrated 5K monitor meant to compete with similar models from Apple and LG, although Samsung did also announce a Smart Oven with an internal camera that can recognize over a hundred dishes, so it can cook them automatically, while you stream footage of it to Twitch. Now that is a taste of the good, weird CES stuff pun intended LG also announced their 2023 lineup of TVs is brighter. No, I don’t care it’s too normal. Give me the smart, robot, toilets and sentient pillows.
That’S what CS about now. It’S time for CES quick bids brought to you by sea Sonic the legendary power supply brand known throughout the realms for their ridiculous reliability and for their sponsoring of tackling CES coverage. I love them and right now see. Sonic has a special promo with Newegg use code. Love lmg. I didn’t even know that it was going to be that to save ten dollars on csonic’s, Focus, FM series, power supplies and guess what they got: cool mag flow fans.
Now too, mag flows make installation and cable management easier than ever thanks to their intuitive magnetic connection system, so check out csonic’s, focus, FM promo and learn more about mag flow. At the links below love, you susonic, quick bits have all sorts of other qualities too they’re. Not just quick, don’t put them in a box. Benchmarks have leaked for upcoming Nvidia cards, indicating that the unlaunched RTX 4080 12 gigabyte aka the 4070ti performs about as well as the RTX 3090 TI at least in 3D Mark another leak showed the unreleased laptop version of the RTX 4090 performing better than a desktop 3090.
In geekbench, but why am I telling you this when nvidia’s GeForce event at CES is going to start in a matter of hours? They’Ll probably give you all sorts of reliable information that you can take at face value when they say it’s a 4080. It’S a 4080.! It has a multiple reports are claiming that Chinese smartphone Giants, Oppo and Huawei have made progress in designing and Manufacturing their own in-house chipsets, which would reduce their Reliance on non-chinese suppliers. Huawei’S designed their own chips for a while, but they recently filed a patent describing an extreme ultraviolet or euv lithography process which enables the production of higher end chips, so once they launch phones without any non-chinese parts. At least you can be more confident that they’re spying on you I mean, like I mean at least I know now you know it’s the uncertainty that gets me.
Netflix has ads now, at least for their cheapest tier and according to Jeremy Zimmer, head of Hollywood’s United talent agency. That means Netflix content. Creators should be getting a cut of AD Revenue, because Netflix has turned them into YouTubers. Basically, now that argument would be pretty solid if Netflix was making a lot of money off ads, which it it doesn’t appear to be.
Only nine percent of new Netflix signups in the US were for the ad supported tier, causing Netflix to actually have to pay back advertisers for some of their ad spending. So maybe Adam Sadler should consider YouTube uh or float plane. Can you imagine we get some Adam Sandler flow plane exclusives? I wouldn’t watch them. The royalty-free av-1 video Codec has had a hard time breaking into the mainstream, but popular transcoding app handbrake has added official av1 support in the latest release so now watch all the cards fall: okay, fine, the app doesn’t support, Nvidia or amd’s implementations of the codec.
Yet but that will probably come soon, hopefully before some Tech Giant or another realizes that letting an open source standard that lets people run things faster without paying them money might be a bad idea, and Sam bankman freed released on bail after being arrested in relation to The collapse of the FTX exchange just can’t stop himself from commenting on stuff that he probably shouldn’t like recent news that crypto wallets associated with Alameda research, the sister company of FDX have been spotted transferring out funds. None of these are me SPF. Tweeted.
That’S right! Bud! Maintain innocence, even though your buddies all pled guilty to federal charges. Look, I’m not saying he’s he’s definitely guilty they’ll like let the trial play out, I’m just telling him to shut up, stop talking, speaking of which I’ll take my own advice now, but you should come back tomorrow for more Tech, news, different advice for different people. You should never stop talking.
We need your voice in this time. .
