- Okay hold on, hold on.
Everybody just,
just Shhh, shhh, shhhhh
In your heart,
you already know the tech news,
but I'm gonna read it to you for fun.
- [Producer] (laughs) What's that?
- There's been a lot of buzz around
the new RTX 3000 series graphics cards,
but we just got some news about some other NVIDIA GPUs
that would have been called Quadro and Tesla
if NVIDIA wasn't apparently retiring both of those names.
Yep, the new NVIDIA RTX A6000 and A40
are a couple of sleek looking cards intended
for professional and workstation or enterprise use
with no latent sounding
or automotive sounding sub-brands attached to them at all.
Although they have the same GA102 GPU
as the RTX3080, and 3090,
these pro-level cards come
with a whopping 48 gigabytes of VRM.
- [Producer] Oh my.
- Interestingly
the A40 variant is going to be passively cooled
so it can be used in high density environments
like data centers.
Images show, lots of metal fins coming off of
the card itself, though it's not clear exactly
what prompted NVIDIA 2X the Quadro and Tesla names
or if they're gonna replace them with something else.
My suggestion is Oucho.
It sounds twice as good.
- [Producer] Math,
- Aiii.
- [Producer] Math Joke.
- Apple's involved in another lawsuit
this time against a Canadian contractor
for selling I stuffs without permission.
Apparently the contractor in question Jeep
was supposed to gip.
I don't know how you pronounce that.
It doesn't matter.
The contract, they were supposed to take apart
and recycle Apple watches, iPads, and iPhones,
but instead over 100,000 of these devices
were resold.
While the contractor does not deny
that the gadgets were improperly sold,
it claims that a handful
of employees stole the equipment
for personal gain
and that their actions
were not approved by the company.
- [Producer] It wasn't me.
- Totally, Apple says
that it's concerned about old unsafe products ending
up in the hands of consumers,
which can be a safety hazard.
Although undoubtedly, there are also monetary considerations
as Apple wants over 23 million US dollars in damages
which as I think about 100 trillion Canadian shillings
or something like that.
- [Producer] Math.
- Facebook is no stranger
to heavy government scrutiny,
but a new leak has shown
that the company is at least a little concerned
about a potential doomsday scenario
which for them means letting go
of any of the personal data that they've spent years sucking
into their servers.
According to the wall street journal,
an internal Facebook document
contains a plan
for how the social media giant
would defend itself,
if it were ordered to spin off
Instagram and WhatsApp,
which have been huge moneymakers for them.
Although it's unclear whether a breakup
of Facebook is actually on the table,
there have been rumors
that the US government could file an antitrust suit
against Facebook
before the end of the year,
and that Facebook's argument
which seems to center around prior government approval
of its acquisitions,
might not hold up very well in court.
Maybe we could all
pool our pocket money together
and buy Instagram.
- [Producer] I don't want it.
- Personally, I'm waiting
for the spinoff
so that they can have a Beyblades battle.
- [Producer] Stop.
- Get it.
- [Producer] Stop it.
- Now it's time for the Creek beats
brought to you by a Private Internet Access VPN
which let you mask your IP and encrypt your traffic.
PIA offers over 12,000 servers
in dozens of countries
and they have no bandwidth caps.
PIA is configurable
and has a kill switch to keep you in control.
When combined with private browsing,
PIA can make websites
and online services, think you're in a different country
and you can connect up to five devices at once.
Be they windows, Mac, Android, iOS, or Linux.
So try it out at the link below
with a 30 day money back guarantee, Creek beats,
have you ever tried them?
- [Producer] Juicy
- They're delicious.
AMD Rising continues to gain market share
against Intel as last month Steam hardware survey shows
that AMD processors are now found
in over one quarter of all steam users rigs.
This marks over a 3% increase since May,
and it'll be interesting to see how this number moves
once Zen 3 is released.
Getting the Intel AMD balance closer to 50/50.
That would be very Zen indeed.
(laughs)
- That's a good job.
- [Producer] I didn't recognize (murmurs)
- Good job.
- [Producer] Good job.
- Yeah good job.
The British government has some egg on its face
after it under reported pandemic cases by nearly 16,000.
Apparently the oversight was due
to an issue with Microsoft Excel.
The spreadsheet program can only display two
to the 20 or 1,048,576 rows.
Anything after that,
it'll get cut off,
hence the missing cases.
Yet another example of
how productivity software
continually finds new ways
to frustrate us.
Hey, if you're worried
that Cyberpunk 2077 might get pushed back again,
you can breathe a sigh of release (chuckles)
as CD Project Red has announced the game
has gone gold
meaning that it's mostly bug free,
probably we hope.
The game is on track to be released on November 19th,
so you won't have to wait too much longer
to get your Keanu fix
without re watching the replacements
for the 20th time.
- [Producer] Only the 20th, I love that movie.
- Spotify Search Function is adding
a useful new feature, punching in a song's lyrics
will now bring up a list of matching tracks.
Apple music has offered the same feature
for a couple of years so it's definitely
about time Spotify got the same thing.
Because I can't keep up with the name of every song
the kids are listening to these days
- [Producer] So sad.
- Just don't punch in anything like the word love
because I think it might crash the server.
- [Producer] Put it in graphics.
One gamer has found a way
to put the RTX 3090 24 Gigabytes of VRAM
to an interesting use
by creating a virtual Ram drive
and then installing none other
than Crysis 3 onto the graphics cards, memory itself.
- [Producer] Why not?
- This isn't exactly a practical way to store your games
but it looked like a fun experiment
and the car did indeed still run crysis.
That's it for today.
Come back Wednesday
for more tech news in glorious 30 frames
for second.
- [Producer] Why go fast?
- Because it's 20% more than cinematic.
- [Producer] 144, we'll get there eventually.
- Too fast.
