- Oh, man.
TFW you get to do the tech news again.
Really gets me, like right here.
- [Riley] Right in the feels. - Yeah.
Microsoft originally described Windows 10
as the last version of Windows
and that windows 10 was less of an operating system
and more of a service.
Well, that might've been a whole crock of (beep)
because on the support page,
Microsoft lists the retirement date of Windows 10
as October 14th, 2025.
Now combine that with the YouTube video
that the company just posted, a slo-fi remix
and what is a slo-fi remix anyway?
- [Riley] Music stuff. - Okay.
Well, anyway, Startup sounds from existing windows versions
that's exactly 11 minutes long.
- Windows, I know, I'm about to get there, Riley.
Stop ruining it for me.
That and the June 24th event where they're planning
to unveil the next generation of Windows
is happening at exactly 11:00 AM Eastern time.
See, you ruined my punchline.
Okay. So basically Windows 11 is happening, right?
And we're all victims.
Sure. It's probably going to be less like jumping
from XP to Vista and more like windows 10
with some different stuff
but that won't put Microsoft's words back in their mouth.
I may upgrade to Windows 11
but I'll be stallowing the whole time.
- [Riley] Very upset.
Very good but I don't like it.
- No.
Microsoft has also detailed its plans to revolutionize
the X-Box experience by making it even easier
to have it without ever touching a console.
Microsoft is working with manufacturers to embed support
for Xcloud game streaming directly onto the TV.
And for people who can't just go out and buy a fancy new TV
the company has confirmed that they're building
an X-Box streaming stick
that will let you use Xcloud on any display.
No console required.
That's pretty cool.
If X-Box keeps expanding their streaming platforms,
Stadium might actually be in trouble.
Wait, was that a joke?
- [Riley] I don't know.
- All right.
And Elon Musk unveiled the plaid edition
of the Tesla model S which is apparently
the fastest production car ever
with the ability to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour
in 1.99 seconds.
- [Riley] Played edition.
- Played? It says plaid, it's a plaid car, Riley.
What I want to know is if it's plaid on the outside
or on the inside.
- [Riley] Neither.
- Oh, but the car is also getting buzz for another type
of speed, it's infotainment system, which is reportedly
based on AMD's previously unseen Navi 23 GPU,
which gives the car PS5-level performance in games.
Musk demoed Cyberpunk 2077, running on the car's
dashboard display at 60 FPS,
along with a Tesla brand controller.
The Navi 23 GPU is expected to be the chip
powering AMD's upcoming RX 6600.
And you know, honestly, I'm really happy that Elon
was able to buy up enough of these
so rich people could ignore them
instead of making them available for gamers everywhere.
- [Riley] Yeah, they deserve 'em.
- Yeah. I mean, trampling more people in line
at Micro Center.
That's what life is now.
Just get used to it.
- [Riley] Only the survive strong. Wait-
- The strong survive, Riley.
- Now it's time for Quick Bits brought to you
by iFixit, maker of compact tool kits

- [Riley] Dads?
- Dads, yeah.
So make your dad proud
or be your own dad and go to ifixit.com/techlinked.
I can't be my own dad.
That doesn't work.
Anyway, Quick Bits or what make the world go round.
Don't quote me on that.
That's not science-based.
Tech YouTubers Hardware Unboxed
have called out another company for trying
to influence their editorial direction.
After LG allegedly tried to pay them
to write a favorable review of a monitor.
To be fair, there was a few instances of things
being lost in translation.
Australians can be really hard to explain.
- [Riley] Oh, what are you going on about?
- What?
EA is the latest game company to suffer a hack.
With attackers reportedly making off with 780 gigabytes
of data, including game tools for multiple EA titles
and the source code for the frostbite engine
which powers the Battlefield games.
Well, at least this one didn't involve ransomware, I guess.
I would hate to see EA give up
some of their hard-earned loot-box money.
All about enriching the rich, right?
A while back, the European union forced Google
to present users with alternative search engine options
on Android.
So Google complied by charging companies to peer
in a list during setup.
Smart, yeah.
After the EU came at them again, Google has said
they'll stop doing that now,
claiming it was a pretty good plan.
You got to admit.
- [Riley] That's a quote.
- Intel is reportedly offering
to buy chip design startup SiFive for $2 billion.
The smaller company specializes in making RISC-V design.
Same basic architecture used in ARM processors.
Could this be the common ground that makes Intel
and ARM finally give each other a SiFive?
- [Riley] Did you like that one?
- I did.
No I didn't, I'm sorry.
And a bunch of games and game updates were announced
at the opening live stream
for the Summer Game Fest yesterday,
including a full game spinoff of the Borderlands 2 DLC
Tina tiny's, Tina tiny's?
- [Riley] Tina tiny's?
- Tiny Tina's.
But the biggest news by far was the gameplay trailer
for Elden Ring, the collaboration between FromSoftware
and George R. R. Martin, who is looking for literally
any excuse now to avoid finishing The Winds Of Winter.
Got to say, Dark Souls 5 looks pretty the same though.
- [Riley] Yup.
- Very exciting.
- [Riley] It's a Dark Souls game.
- Very exciting.
Too cool to continue.
So, come back on Monday for more tech news
which will technically be the 484th sequel
of the original TechLinked.
- [Riley] Wow. - What a saga.
- [Riley] Move over Star Wars.
