Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “What was Epic thinking!?”.
Haha I caught you, you were just about to watch this YouTube. Video weren’t you Intel has released their balls-to-the-wall. Unlocked 28 core processor called the Zeon W 30 175 X for our cool 3-grand. The chip also supports hyper threading, so it has a full 56 threads with the cores running at a peak frequency of 4.5 gigahertz, making this on paper at least Intel’s biggest and fastest chip ever and it’s also got hexa Channel ddr4 support up to 192 gigabytes worth Now, obviously, the W 3175 X isn’t meant for consumers, like you and me, but rather for in Intel’s words, select highly threaded and computing intensive applications like architectural and industrial design and professional content creation.
So now what we do here, we’re not pro’s and for I guess, super rich people who can afford to buy a single processor for the same price as an overpowered gaming rig. But can you really put a price on a processor you can’t in case you haven’t heard or don’t care steam, the epic game store and PC gamers all over the world are a bit mad at each other right now and that’s because Metro Exodus, the game that Was set to release February 15th on Steam is now going to release on the epic game store instead for $ 10, cheaper existing pre-orders will be delivered through Steam and it is technically a timed exclusive, so it could return to the steam store in a year’s time. For example, but the whole thing has left a bit of a sour taste in everyone’s collective mouth: the games developer, THQ, Nordic tweeted, that the decision to switch was made by their publisher, Koch media and they had no say on the details or timing of the deal With epic game valve has said that they think the move was unfair to consumers and most gamers seem to agree.
But Epic Games is making the case that timed exclusives are good for the industry and then it’s not healthy for valve to operate without any real competition, and they have a point. But there’s got ta be a to do this other than stealing a game right from under its release date that this epic, not like this and Facebook surprise, is back the news again for what else breaches of privacy. Except this time the company was paying people in exchange for collecting their info.
Facebook has admitted to paying users from the age 13 to 35 up to $ 20 a month, plus referral fees to install an app called Facebook research on both iOS and Android. As part of Facebook’s project Atlas initiative, the app would decrypt and analyze user’s phone activity and would even ask them to screenshot their Amazon order. History, page in response to the news Apple has blocked the app on iOS, as well as other Facebook apps that the company’s employees use for beta testing and internal affairs.
The app is still reportedly functioning on Android. The story is just the latest privacy kerfuffle for Facebook, but the company may actually be trying to change its ways. They just hired three veteran privacy lactis, including made Cardozo former attorney of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who has been very critical of Facebook’s privacy issues in the past.
Yeah bold move, maybe he’ll turn the Facebook ship around or he’s on a secret mission to destroy the company from the inside Godspeed Cardozo. Now it’s time for quick bits brought to you by Linus.

No, I swear I’m telling class thanks Linus now for the quick bits Apple, maybe on Facebook’s case, but they had a privacy issue of their own. This week, a bug in FaceTime the group calling future allowed the collar to listen in to the recipients device.
Before that person even answered the phone, the bug was apparently in the wild for at least a week before Apple shut down the group calling feature while they fix the problem and one lawyer has even sued Apple, because the bug allowed someone to listen in on a Confidential call with a client it just goes to show parties can be fun if all the guests who were invited actually get led into the party you don’t you’re, just talking through the door you’re having a party they’re invited they knock on the door. You stand by the door and listen them banter. In the hall last week, Xiaomi gave a sneak peek at a double folding phone that it’s developing, but now a patent from Intel has emerged showing a similar design, unlike the Xiaomi device.
Intel’S would consist of three equally sized portions, so the device could be folded into a triangle or a mini laptop kind of situation. Can’T wait for Gen, 3 or four of the folding phone designs will be texting each other. On paper airplanes.
