Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Windows 11 is REAL!?”.
Oh man. TFW you get to do the tech news. Again. Really gets me like right: here., [, Riley, ] Right in the feels. Yeah.. Microsoft originally described Windows 10 as the last version of Windows and that windows 10 was less of an operating system and more of a service.. Well that might’ve been a whole crock of ( beep ), because on the support page, Microsoft lists the retirement date of Windows.
10, as October 14th 2025., Now combine that with the YouTube video that the company just posted a slo-fi remix and what is a slo-fi remix anyway, [ Riley, ], Music, stuff. Okay. Well anyway, Startup sounds from existing windows versions. That’S exactly 11 minutes long. Windows. I know I’m about to get there. Riley. Stop ruining it for me. That and the June 24th event, where they’re planning to unveil the next generation of Windows is happening at exactly 11:00.
Am Eastern time. See you ruined my punchline. Okay., So basically, Windows 11 is happening right And we’re all victims. Sure.. It’S probably going to be less like jumping from XP to Vista and more like windows 10 with some different stuff, but that won’t put Microsoft’s words back in their mouth..
I may upgrade to Windows 11, but I’ll be stallowing. The whole time. [ Riley ], Very upset.. Very good, but I don’t like it. No. Microsoft, has also detailed its plans to revolutionize the X-Box experience by making it even easier to have it without ever touching. A console.. Microsoft is working with manufacturers to embed support for Xcloud game streaming directly onto the TV. And for people who can’t just go out and buy a fancy new TV. The company has confirmed that they’re building an X-Box streaming.
Stick that will let you use Xcloud on any display., No console required., That’s pretty cool.. If X-Box keeps expanding their streaming platforms, Stadium might actually be in trouble.. Wait was that a joke [ Riley ], I don’t know. All right. And Elon Musk unveiled the plaid edition of the Tesla model, S which is apparently the fastest production car ever with the ability to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 1.99, seconds. [ Riley ] Played edition.
Played. It says plaid, it’s a plaid car Riley.. What I want to know is if it’s plaid on the outside or on the inside. [ Riley ] Neither., Oh, but the car is also getting buzz for another type of speed. It’S infotainment system, which is reportedly based on AMD’s, previously unseen, Navi 23 GPU, which gives the car PS5-level performance in games. Musk demoed Cyberpunk 2077 running on the car’s dashboard display at 60 FPS, along with a Tesla brand controller., The Navi 23 GPU is expected to be The chip powering AMD’s upcoming RX 6600., And you know honestly, I’m really happy that Elon was able to buy up enough of these, so rich people could ignore them. Instead of making them available for gamers everywhere. [ Riley ] Yeah they deserve’em. Yeah..
I mean trampling more people in line at Micro Center.. That’S what life is now. Just get used to it.
[ Riley ], Only the survive, strong. Wait-, The strong survive Riley..

[ Riley, ], Dads, Dads yeah., So make your dad proud or be your own dad and go to ifixit.com/techlinked.. I can’t be my own dad. That doesn’t work. Anyway Quick Bits or what make the world go. Round..
Don’T quote me on that.: That’s not science-based. Tech, YouTubers Hardware Unboxed have called out another company for trying to influence their editorial direction. After LG allegedly tried to pay them to write a favorable review of a monitor.. To be fair. There was a few instances of things being lost in translation..
Australians can be really hard to explain. [ Riley ]. Oh, what are you going on about? What EA is the latest game company to suffer a hack. With attackers, reportedly making off with 780 gigabytes of data, including game tools for multiple EA titles and the source code for the frostbite engine which powers the Battlefield games.? Well, at least this one didn’t involve ransomware.
I guess., I would hate to see EA give up some of their hard-earned loot-box money., All about enriching the rich right A while back. The European union forced Google to present users with alternative search engine options on Android., So Google complied by charging companies to peer in a list during setup., Smart yeah. After the EU came at them again. Google has said: they’ll stop doing that now, claiming it was a pretty good plan..
You got to admit. [ Riley ]. That’S a quote. Intel is reportedly offering to buy chip design, startup SiFive for $ 2 billion.. The smaller company specializes in making RISC-V design. Same basic architecture used in ARM processors..
Could this be the common ground that makes Intel and ARM finally give each other a SiFive [ Riley ]? Did you like that one I did.? No, I didn’t. I’M sorry. And a bunch of games and game updates were announced at the opening live stream for the Summer Game Fest yesterday, including a full game spinoff of the Borderlands 2 DLC Tina, tiny’s, Tina, tiny’s, [, Riley, ], Tina, tiny’s, Tiny Tina’s., But the biggest news. By far was the gameplay trailer for Elden Ring the collaboration between FromSoftware and George R. R. Martin, who is looking for literally any excuse now to avoid finishing The Winds Of Winter.
Got to say, Dark Souls 5 looks pretty the same: though. [, Riley, ], Yup., Very Exciting. [ Riley ], It’s a Dark Souls game.
Very exciting., Too cool to continue.. So come back on Monday for more tech news, which will technically be the 484th sequel of the original TechLinked. [ Riley ] Wow..
What a saga., [, Riley ] Move over Star Wars; .
