- Oh, no, I don't have any tech news.
Oh, ah, but of course I do. - [cameraman] Got 'em, got 'em
- Yes, I got 'em.
- [Cameraman] Fuck, you got me too.
- Could you imagine?
- [Cameraman] I almost cut the camera.
(Riley laughing)
- It's not quite time for AMD
to release a completely new generation of Ryzen CPUs.
So instead, they've confirmed rumors
that they'll be fleshing out the current gen Ryzen 5000
and last gen 4000 lineup.
Filling in the gaps a little bit, you know,
just like grandma used to do.
(both laughing)
- [Cameraman] Yeah.
- You know, like grandma would make the good food for you.
Like fill in you, like you're skin and bones, eat something.
(cameraman laughs)
- [Cameraman] Hi, Riley, have some more.
(Riley laughs)
- The most exciting part
is the previously announced Ryzen 7 5800 X3D,
the first chip to feature AMD's 3D V-Cache,
which will launch on four 20 because it's performance is-
- [Cameraman] Nice.
- It's gonna be lit.
It's gonna get buzzed.
It's not a thread ripper but-
- [Cameraman] You're gonna get ripped.
- Alongside that processor will be six additional chips
from the Ryzen 3 4100 up to the Ryzen 7 5700X
that will hopefully give budget gamers more options
to maybe, hopefully build a PC in this gabe forsaken time.
And there's another bonus,
AMD is officially adding support
for 5,000 series chips on 300 series motherboards.
So you might not even have to buy a new board
meaning you're free to spend that money
on whatever just gets you sloshed, dude,
whatever loopy you know like, whoa.
Wow!
- [Cameraman] Thanks AMD.
- Thanks, boo.
Oh, it's James!
Guys, James is here now.
Microsoft is weathering criticism once again
for going and sticking ads in places they don't belong,
namely the Windows 11 File Explorer.
An enthusiast called Florian tweeted a screenshot
showing a banner ad for Microsoft Editor.
What?
- [Cameraman] File explorian?
- File explorian. (Riley laughs)
- [Cameraman] Florian.
What!
- I was almost there in my brain.
He was shown a banner ad for Microsoft Editor
when he was just trying to navigate his documents' folder.
I mean, that's hard enough, especially the way he keeps it.
Ah, there's an audacity folder in there.
Like, do you click it?
Like, ah, come on!
(Riley laughs)
Before you get mad
about Microsoft having the audacity to do this again,
the company said the banner was actually supposed
to be disabled in that insider build,
and it's just something they're testing internally.
- [Cameraman] For now.
- Yeah. But given that every attempt
by Microsoft to shoehorn ads like this
into windows is met with the same response,
you'd think they'd learn.
Maybe try Edge.
And PC gamers have waited patiently for Intel's gaming GPUs.
And now, they're finally here in two weeks and in laptops.
Yep, team.blue has announced a launch event
for the company's first
Arc Alchemist discrete graphics cards on March 30th
at 8:00 AM Pacific time.
The first GPU to arrive
on the market will reportedly be the A370M,
which will feature up to two times the performance
of Intel's integrated graphics
without changing the basic laptop form factor.
So that's, it's cool.
I dunno.
- [Cameraman] Laptops.
- Laptops.
Look, these GBUs will bring support
for advanced features like ray tracing Intel's own XeSS
AI-powered super sampling-
- [Cameraman] XX.
- Is that what we're calling it?
- [Cameraman] I don't know.
- And other features, but if it's not
in the form of a physical thing, I can slide into a tower,
then it's hard to get excited.
I just like taking the muscles, I feel the motion.

Chrome Aficionados got a little excited
when a Google rep at the tech giants
Google for Games Developer Summit casually mentioned
that the Steam alpha for Chromebooks just launched.
- There are also a lot more ways
to play video games with Chromebooks.
For example, the Steam alpha just launched
- Turns out that's not true yet.
But the incident did confirm that the alpha is coming soon.
So get ready to turn Chromebook into a poem book.
(mimics explosives)
Mark Zuckerberg just announced at South by Southwest
that Meta is working on bringing NFTs
to Instagram in the near term,
because yes, the platform can be pretty toxic right now,
but we're talking rookie numbers.
We gotta get those numbers up.
And who knows numbers better than apes.
In fact, we're apes.
So that says it all.
Better buy it now before it gets hot
Microsoft has finally released the API for direct storage.
It's technology that enables faster load times
and bigger game worlds for the public
after launching the developer preview last year.
Tech like this exists on the current gen Xbox's
and the PS 5, but this API will allow any game developer
to implement the feature on Windows 10 or 11.
- [Cameraman] You can't catch up PC gaming.
- Yeah, but it's pretty nice.
I mean, it's not every day you get a story
that's just like, oh, games will be better now.
Nice.
- Tesla has fired an employee,
John Bunnell for posting a video showing his model three
hitting a bike lane divider while in full self-driving mode
Bunnell says he recorded the video in his personal vehicle
using software that he paid for
off of company time and property.
But Tesla still called the video a conflict of interest.
The interest here on Tesla's part being
in preventing normies from seeing the Tesla cars
still don't have full self-driving capability
many years after it was promised.
It's finally gonna release one day
and we'll just open the hood up
and Elon is in there just moving in.
- [Cameraman] They fired him for being so stupid.
(Riley laughs)
- And in a rare instance
of the US Senate actually doing something,
a bill called the sunshine protection act
was unanimously approved yesterday,
which would make daylight savings time permanent
across the country if approved
by the house and President Biden
- [Cameraman] Biden, he looks like a snowbird.
He loves the sun.
- Is that related?
Going for vacation?
- [Cameraman] You know.
- You know. (Riley laughs)
Guys, I'm not joking.
This episode is over.
Come back on Friday for more tech news.
I'll try to scrape around and find some.
You know I'll have some, unless ooh.
