- April 20th.
(shocking sound)
What?
It's 420?
- [Man] Yeah, duh.
- I didn't even know.
Oh no, I should do a different intro then.
Ah.
All right, that's the intro.
GPU prices are at the lowest they've been
since January 2021,
according to a report from German tech site 3D Center.
That's pronounced 3D Center.
(giggling)
After prices for NVIDIA's RTX 30 series GPUs hit a high
of 318% of MSRP in May 2021,
then, hovered around 180% in the winter,
they've now fallen to just 119%,
while prices for AMD's RX 6,000 GPUs are down to 112%.
Heck, buying a graphics card right now
is practically thievery!
You're going away for a long time.
Now, 3D Center's report does center on the German market,
so, you might still be seeing
ridiculously unaffordable prices in your region,
but it looks like soon, that might change.
And after nearly two years of making morbid jokes
about how we should all love the GPU we're with,
it's nice to see some light on the horizon.
Maybe you can find a GPU out there
who will love you for you.
More Google hardware leaks have hit the web this time
in the form of a render
depicting Google's upcoming Pixel watch,
courtesy of Evan Blass and 91 mobiles.
That's a lot.
With a glossy, rounded design,
and a digital crown on the side,
the render matches up exactly with the leak first shown
by Front Page Tech back in December.
So, when it comes time to hand out the awards
for who saw the picture of the thing first,
(laughing)
hand it to these guys.
Nice job.
Unlike previous Pixel watch hype,
it looks more likely than ever
that we're actually gonna see this thing
in the real world soon.
The Google Store just added a new watches section,
and it's been a year since Google and Samsung
announced their partnership
to create new Android based smart watches,
and it's looking very likely
that the Pixel 6a will be announced
at Google IO next month.
So, keep your eyes peeled for the new Pixels
if you're subconsciously an Apple fan,
but too insecure to admit it.
And Meta, the soulless corpse formally known as Facebook,
held their Quest gaming showcase this morning,
and showed off some pretty cool VR titles
coming to Quest headsets.
We finally saw a full trailer for "Among Us VR,"
although, it would've been more exciting
if the game mode hadn't been copied
by like a dozen other games at this point.
Stress Level Zero announced their follow up to "Bone Works,"
titled "Bone Lab," which sounds like a lab worth visiting.
Not for me, though.
And "Ghostbusters VR's" four-player gameplay trailer
makes almost too much sense as an adaptation.
But the coolest game they didn't show at the showcase
was "StarTenders," the new sci-fi bartending game,
in which I play an anxious robot.
Okay, listen, earthling,
I'll keep your secret,
if you keep mine.
If I go down, you're coming down with me.
(laughing)
I'm sure they just forgot to put that one in though.
Now, James has something to say.
This feels backwards.
- Now it's time for the Quick Bits,
brought to you by Our Place,
creator of cookware
that can replace many of your pots and pans
into one product.
Which is great, 'cause I have no cupboard space.
Whether you're making a quick meal,
or being a responsible adult
and meal prepping for the whole week,
Our Place's products are kitchen replacement game changers.
For example, their perfect pot is a Dutch oven,
not the farting kind,
stockpot, sauce pan, and roasting rack,
and a steamer, and colander and a brassiere with a-
Brassiere?
Brazier with a built-in spoon.
While the Always Pan is a non-stick fry pan,
saute pan, steamer, skillet, and saucier.
Saucier?
I don't cook.
It's never not a pan though.
The Our Place spring sale is live
from April 19th to May 8th,
and everything, including the Always Pan and Perfect Pot,
are on sale now.
So, check it out at the link below.
You know what?
You're getting a Dutch oven.
- Thankfully, the Quick Bits will never deplete.
They reproduce asexually.
Netflix announced in a letter to shareholders
that it's losing subscribers for the first time in a decade,
having bled 200,000 subscribers since last quarter.
So, they're considering introducing ads
in the low end subscription plans.
The company may also crack down even harder
on account sharing,
a scourge that's estimated to plague
around 100 million households.
Making their existing service worse
seems like a bold strategy to get the growth back.
Let's see if it pays off for them.
It looks like Amazon is hiring people
to develop an AR/VR headset
that would be a magical and useful
new-to-world consumer product,
which sounds like an incredibly utopian description
of a device being made
by the same people selling $20 microwaves,
and the robot that throws itself down stairs.
Okay, all right, fine.
That's not fair.
They also make home security devices
that seem to automatically forward the video feed
to both North Korea and the police.
That takes skill.
Emulators for both the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance
that Nintendo is reportedly planning to launch
through its Switch Online service have leaked,
seemingly confirming Nintendo's plans.
Included in the testing files
are references to easy flash cartridges,
physical media popular in the home brew community,
indicating Nintendo may once again
be incorporating innovation from game pirates
in its own much better solution,
that involves paying a yearly subscription
for access to retro games.
Intel has partnered with Classroom Technologies
to integrate AI-powered, emotion detecting technology
in a remote teaching plug-in for Zoom called Class.
It's meant to help teachers know
when students are getting bored or confused,
but critics say it could set a dangerous precedent
for students' privacy.
And furthermore,
what if that's just the way their face looks?
Like Jeremy from homeroom just-
He just looked like that.
And the same Japanese researcher
behind that wacky flavored lickable TV thing
has developed a prototype pair of chopsticks
that can make food taste 50% more salty
using electrical stimulation.
That would mean less salt would be needed in the food,
so you could have more available for other stuff.
Killing slugs.
And also, maybe they could double as a taser in a pinch.
I just saw everything everywhere all at once,
and my imagination is going wild.
