- What's up tech news fans.
It's your boy chase.
You know,
the guy who definitely knows how to set up live streams.
That wasn't my fault.
- I thought you did fine, I was on your side.
- Valve reportedly working on a new
standalone VR headset that may
or may not be powered by the same chip as the steam deck
handheld gaming device.
The headset is code named Deckerd and get it.
- I do, do you?
- Yeah. No, I don't
(laughs)
And just reference in publicly available code
for valve steam VR software
spotted by YouTuber Brad Lynch,
ARS Technices says their sources inside valve have confirmed
Lynch's findings in speculation about valve working on what
would it essentially be?
Industry's only real competition
for the Oculus quest too.
And the whole thing looks even more legit.
Thanks to a quote from a valve employee who told the verge
that the steam decks APU would run well
in a VR environment.
And that it's very relevant to us and our future plans.
- Uh, You see
- It's also relevant in my plants.
Use VR on a device that doesn't require me
to sign into Facebook. My mom is on there.
She can't be allowed to see what I'm playing
for multiple reasons.
- I don't know chase, You gotta lover.
- Now we got to keep it a secret.
It's a secret.
Amazon continues to use
black mirror as an instruction manual
announcing far too many products
at its hardware event yesterday,
including the already infamous Astro,
a wheeled robot with a tablet for a face
and a telescoping camera attachment
directly after the announcement.
Vise published leaked documents
and interviews with Amazon employees
who worked on the robot,
who claimed
that it's terrible and will almost certainly
throw itself down a flight of stairs
if presented the opportunity.
(laughs)
- I will do if I was an amazon robot
- Well, that's why you might want the ring.
Always home cam,
a quad copter drone announced last year,
but which is finally available now,
but only if you can get an invite,
beta testing, dystopian gadgets
is a privilege,
not a right .
- Whatever
- Ring also now has a virtual security guard service.
So you can feel safe. Knowing a rando,
Amazon employee is watching your stuff
and scaring off evil carjacking teens
(what the heck is that)
- Everywhere.
- What if I'm the one who's doing the carjacking
- Oh no, chase!
- And there's more,
the new smart thermostat
will take on Google's nasty.
Amazon glow will let kids play games
on a projected game board
while video chatting grandma
and the echo show 15 is a framed 15 inch model
that you can hang on the wall
so Bezos, can watch your family eat together,
wiping away his tears of loneliness away
with thousand dollar bills
and then throwing them at his lawyer so they
can keep suing Space X
he's a very sad man.
And Microsoft has announced
that in addition to integrating
with the Amazon app store to host Android apps,
the Microsoft store will also host
other app stores with the epic game store
being the first one to join.
Maybe apple is next. Who knows?
- No, there not
Where did you get that from?
- Where am I going to play apple arcade games?
When the new Microsoft store launches
with windows 11 on October 5th,
the epic game store catalog
won't be available directly on
the Microsoft store.
But, the store is app
will be listed and available to download
along with a bunch of other apps
that are already easy to download
outside of any store
like discord, zoom, and VLC.
What about
- It better in the store,
It taste better.
- Where's my win amp.
How am I supposed to listen to music?
- Woopsies
- Now Epic games
already hosts other app stores like h.io.
So for anyone wondering
why you would want to download an
app store from an app store
it's because that's the only way
you can have an app store, in an app store,
in an app store.
So hopefully that clears it up.
- Oh, yeah yeah yeah, gotcha

Some owners of the brand new iPad mini
are reporting a problem with the tablets display
known as jelly scrolling
where one side refreshes slightly before the other.
- Sounds delicious
- Uh tasty, They complained to apple
who gently explained,
oh honey, that ain't a bug.
It's a feature.
Apple has no plans to fix the issue because they say,
it's not an issue. You are the issue.
When you complain to apple
and you will be fixed
report to the genius bar immediately.
The NDA that Tesla requires drivers to sign
an order to test its full self-driving beta
tells testers to consider
sharing fewer videos
of their experiences with the software.
- I would like to see those anyway
- Unfortunately for Tesla,
social media videos,
aren't going to do anything
to stop a lawsuit coming from
five Texas police officers
who were injured when a Tesla model X
on autopilot
slammed into their patrol vehicle
at 70 miles per hour in February
and Florida police just released
video of a model 3
doing the same thing to one of their cars.
I don't know.
Maybe Graham's got Elon on the eight cab train before
they broke up. Cause this is fishy.
- Is that, we said that on TechLinked?
- Amazon. Didn't just launch hardware this week.
They also officially launched
their new world MMO,
but it's just like with the beta,
the full game seems to be killing people's GPU's
the issue seems to be caused
by the same one that prompted EVG to recall
and replace affected cards
that is bad solder on certain GPU components.
But at some point you got to consider
whether sticking with the old world
is just fine magic
- What you need, what you need that magic swords for
- I don't need that, go even older,
Silicon lottery
the popular website that sold
hi Ben CPU's and deflecting services
has announced that they're shutting down
the company says
their decision was motivated by many factors,
including decreasing overclocking headroom and CPU's
supply issues
due to the ongoing trip shortages
and a lower number of winning tickets.
Customers do have until November 30th
to place orders for CPU de deleting
But after that
Silicon lottery will delete themselves
We're sorry to see them go
and wish them the best
and a space startup called link
has successfully demonstrated its technology,
allowing normal smartphones
to get mobile network service
from a satellite.
Once more satellites are added phones
could get regular service from space
without any specialized equipment.
But for now the company single satellite
can only be used to send text messages
for only a few minutes a day.
But for those few minutes,
I think you'd be technically an astronaut
- I always wanted that
- Better than Jeff Bezos.
(laughs)
This episode is technically over now.
So come back on Friday for more tech news
and watch Twitch
- People are live streaming on there.
- Oh yeah. All the time.
