- Yeah, that drive isn't compatible.
If you already knew that,
then why are you watching the video?
Because you think I'm very, very funny?
Aw, you're suck a suck-up.
Thank you, that's very nice.
Google has continued what is now their tradition
of addressing the onslaught of next-gen Pixel phone leaks
by just coming out and announcing the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro.
The tech giant confirmed the leaked design of the Pixel 6
with that massive camera bar on the back,
saying it's there because there's just
so many complex sensors
it couldn't possibly fit in that stupid square camera module
seen on all those dumb iPhones.
And also the past few Pixel phones. (clears throat)
But the bigger news here is Google's confirmation
that the Pixel 6 models are powered
by Google's very own custom system on a chip, Tensor,
supposedly a mobile variant of the company's
Tensor AI accelerator cards used in their servers,
and a chip that was indeed codenamed Whitechapel,
according to the Google's German website.
The Google.
Ze Google is what I call zem.
I'm confused.
I thought we weren't supposed to believe
everything we see online,
but all of these leaks were true, so bigfoot...
Did fake the moon landing?
I'll tell you who knows the truth: the Pentagon.
And that's even more accurate
now that they have an AI system
that they claim can predict events days in advance.
According to a report from The Drive,
U.S. Northern Command has finished a series of tests
in the Global Information Dominance Experiments,
or GIDE program,
which uses AI, cloud computing,
and America's global information network
to forecast possible events.
One of the examples given was satellite imagery
being used to indicate that a foreign country's submarine
was about to leave port.
Normally, Private Jenkins or whoever
would have to run to his superior's office,
papers flying everywhere, bust open the door and say,
"Sir! It's the plot of 'Das Boot,' but Russia this time!"
And now that general
will just get a notification on his Dell that says,
"Submarine might leave soon," but he'll swipe it away
because he's actually playing Mahjong at work.
Wow. The future is here.
But if you prefer the future to remain a mystery,
you probably want to avoid the leaked data
from "Halo Infinite" making the internet rounds right now.
There's apparently complete spoilers
for the game's campaign, huge twists and all,
and the devs say it'll ruin the game for you
if you care about spoilers because you're not a psychopath.
But the leaked files also indicate
there will probably be more campaigns coming as DLC,
so it might not be the end of the world.
That will come when 343 finally admits
they're planning a battle royale mode
as indicated by the leaked audio files.
It's fine.
It's okay to admit "Halo"
is just another first-person shooter.
And that Master Chief isn't cool. Who is he?
The armor's cool. Is he into ska?
Nobody knows. What's the point?
Hey, is my shirt getting darker?
Now it's time for Quick Bits, brought to you by Vessi,
maker of footwear that's lightweight,
easy to pack, comfortable,
and, oh yeah, completely waterproof.
Strolling through the neighborhood
water fighting like it's no big deal?
Wow. Thank, Vessi.
Vessi shoes also somehow keep your feet
cool in summer and warm in winter.
Turns out that's because they're made
of a magic material Dynatex,
which sounds very futuristic and cool.
They're easy to slip on and off, as you can see,
and lots of us here at LMG wear them religiously.
So grab yourself a pair and use offer code techlinked
to get 25 bucks off at Vessi.com/Techlinked.
Ha! Quick Bits!
If they weren't quick, they'd be normal bits,
and sure, maybe there's a market for that,
but would you go and-
YouTube is testing a gutted version
of YouTube Premium called Premium Lite,
which would only get rid of YouTube ads
and not give you the other Premium features
like background playback, offline downloads,
or YouTube Music.
Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Luxembourg,
The Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden
can try it out for seven euros a month,
which is not that much less expensive
than the 12 euros the full plan offers.
I think this is dumb, but I'm not from a Nordic country.
I tried. They won't let me in.
A Twitter account claiming to represent 3dfx,
the legendary graphics card company
that was bought out by Nvidia many years ago,
mysteriously tweeted this weekend that they will return
with a major announcement this Thursday.
This is almost certainly not legit,
especially considering the image in the tweet
was grabbed from a fan's DeviantArt profile.
On the other hand, Intel is taking its sweet time
getting its GPU out into the market,
so even if the new 3dfx card
is actually just a repainted USB stick,
I might preorder.
Speaking of Intel, one of their executives
accidentally tweeted out an image
of a poster seemingly confirming
that the upcoming Thunderbolt 5 standard
will double the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 4
from 40 to 80 gigabits per second
over the USB Type-C connector,
which would mean that everything
going over a Thunderbolt cable would go way faster.
And boy, was this embarrassing for him.
Whoa-ho! Might as well quit his job.
Ho-ho! Wow!
Google managed to shut down a scam this week
that involved hackers buying ads on Google
that redirected to what looked like
the website for the Brave web browser,
but it actually wasn't.
It was a scam site that made you download malware!
Which just goes to show:
don't click those Google ads, usually.
Most of the time. I mean, I thought I was...
I thought everybody...
Were we...
Do you click? Hello?
And Home Depot has begun selling power tools
that won't actually work
until they're activated at the checkout counter.
Now, this seems a bit draconian,
but in practice it could cut down heavily on shoplifting.
I mean, we've had those magnetized clips
on clothes for years and, like,
nobody steals clothes anymore.
- [James] Did you steal a tool?
- Wait a...
I steal all my tools.
Wow, you're still watching this video.
You know what? I love you for that.
Come back on Wednesday for more tech news
and I'll love you even more.
The love is exponential, it just keeps going up
and then it just stops right before it gets weird.
