Transcripts
sometimes I snooze on Tech news but
don't get confused TechLink will sink
your mind to the Enthusiast kind and
fast forward not rewind through the
Tropic topics that's the hottest but
that doesn't mean they're not cool so
don't snooze on Tech news choose to
peruse the specs for nvidia's upcoming
RTX 50 Series Blackwell gpus have
allegedly already leaked thanks to
Reliable tipster copit 7 Kimmy which is
how I will pronounce it always Kimmy has
claimed the cards will be based on the
GB 202 and GB 203 gpus I don't know what
their opinions will be but we'll see the
latter is expected to be a cutdown
version of the former with half the
number of cores on top of that the cards
may be the first to feature gddr 7
memory specifically the memory speed
will cap out at 28 gbits per second
which is lower than the the published
specifications for the nextg memory but
still faster than gddr 6x's maximum
speed this detail seems the most solid
while Kimmy has seemed to flip-flop on
memory bus width the tipster now says
the GB 202 will sport a 512-bit memory
bus but previously hinted it would come
with the same 384bit interface the 490
has but if all this gaming GPU news
tricked you into thinking that Nvidia
cares about those again I'm sorry sorry
AI is still Jensen's favorite child CEO
Jensen hang has implied the company's
nextg dgx AI servers will be liquid
cooled perhaps to deal with extra heat
due to increased power consumption this
wouldn't be the only hot water nvidia's
AI has created Team Green is being sued
by three authors who claim their
copyrighted Works were used without
permission to train the company's Nemo
AI platform with this lawsuit Nvidia
joins the list of AI companies sued for
copyright infringement companies like
every other AI company it's a right of
passage really AGI will emerge from the
fire of being sued constantly from Team
Green over to team red now AMD has made
major changes to the freesync
certification process in a community
announcement the company stated they
would be increasing the required maximum
refresh rate a monitor needs to support
in order to be free sync certified
originally monitors and TVs only needed
a maximum refresh rate of 40 to 60 Herz
to get a basic free sync stamp but now
the minimum certification requires at
least a 144hz maximum refresh rate
meanwhile free sync premium
certification used to just require a
monitor that can go up to 120 htz but
now that's only true for displays with
horizontal resolutions of 3,440 pixels
or above t TVs or monitors below that
resolution must have a maximum refresh
rate of at least 200 HZ and premium pro
has also changed to match premium but
with the added Criterion of HDR support
now these might sound like huge and
confusing changes but they really just
reflect today's most common refresh
rates in desktop gaming monitors it's
super common now to find Budget gaming
monitors at 144 HZ but no matter what
monitor you're running amd's new
upscaler for noname just video content
could be welcome news for you Radeon RX
7000 users out there it's basically team
Red's answer to nvidia's RTX VSR but
apparently it's a bit more complicated
to set up not only do you have to enable
it in amd's Adrenaline control panel but
you also need to enable options in
Windows 11's Settings app and additional
settings in Chrome and Edge if you want
to use it in one of those browsers as
for other browsers AMD didn't mention
them Firefox what is that some sort of
cryp did it's friends with the
insulindian fmid about five people will
get that and apple will be releasing
NextGen iPad pros and airs in the next
month according to the germ and the
apple apple will not have a launch event
for their Mac and iPad updates because
the Vision Pro is all that matters now
previously it was rumored that Apple
would simply put out press releases on
its website last week but that doesn't
seem to have happened while we wait for
those products we can perhaps also wait
for a new Apple headset oh insiders like
gerbon have claimed we might see a
cheaper alternative to The Vision Pro in
2025 or 2026 but according to a leaker
called
Rus sounds like a Cy Lord according to
that leaker apple is accelerating
research and development on an
entrylevel headset the leaker claims
apple is trying to reduce the cost of
their headset displays which account for
almost a third of the vision Pro's total
manufacturing cost allegedly the second
generation headset could cost cost
$1,500 which is a bargain on Apple's
pricing scale but before that allegedly
happens the airpods pro may be getting a
major new hearing aid mode with iOS 18
according to Mark German again he's back
a 20122 study already suggested airpods
work competently as a cheaper
alternative to a traditional hearing
aids so how can they get better will
they cure hearing loss in some weird
partnership with Mr Beast implant your
airpods directly into your skull now

TechLink for a sweet 20% off quick bits
are like a little kiss of summer in the
spring a flashlight in the fog Sunday
morning pajama Reddit and its current
shareholders would be offering a total
of 22 million shares optimistically for
around $34 each and the rest is as they
say basic grade school math who says
that around 1.76 million of those shares
have been set aside specifically for
Reddit users who joined prior to January
of this year cuz everyone else is just
freew writing the company is reportedly
targeting valuation of close to 6 and a
half billion dollar which is honestly a
bit more than I'd be willing to pay for
it 20 bucks take it or leave it you'd be
lucky if anyone pays you more than 20
bucks for that thing little xiaomi is
removing a popular feature that allowed
users to play YouTube videos in the
background on their android-based
operating system without subscribing to
YouTube premium thus avoiding paying
Google money that's how that works
Google who actually quite likes money is
suspected of having pressured xiaomi
into removing the feature though xiaomi
only said that the changes were due to
unspecified compliance requirements
specifically compliance with the back of
Google's hand slap slap Google leaked
the pixel 8 A's existence in the most on
brandway in Android 14's QPR 1 update
Google added extended battery statistics
that allowed users to see charging cycle
counts and manufacturing dates for their
phone's battery however this feature
disappeared in an update this month when
a user reported this as a bug a Google
representative stated that existing
devices were never meant to get this
feature so they removed it saying we
only enable this page on Pixel 8A and
Beyond oh oh that'll be on the pixel 8A
no sorry Android users you may have lost
a feature but your sacrifice has allowed
Google to justify yet another phone
launch a mod has been released that
gives Nvidia RTX 20 series and GTX 16
series gpus support for resizable bar a
performance-enhancing feature that lets
your CPU access your gpu's entire frame
buffer as long as your motherboard says
it's okay Mom isn't there someone you
forgot to ask that's actually not a joke
rebar only works if the motherboard CPU
and GPU all support it so using this mod
which is based on another mod adding
rebar support to older processors
involves patching your motherboard's
UEFI firmware and that's always a little
risky but what is life if not a
continuous sequence of taking one risk
after another this is not an endorsement
do not sue us we're not an AI company if
Riley jumped off a cliff would you
that's just a question and Porsche has
unveiled the tyan turbo GT its fastest
road legal car ever and it proved it too
by setting a new record for a production
EV car at the leguna sea track in
California lonus is so sad he went back
to driving his Lambo out of shame in
addition to more range and pter charging
the new tyan got a bonus in the form of
a Tim Cook appearance in its
announcement video he congratulated
Porsche CEO Oliver Bloom on the launch
and on the Porsche Vision Pro app that
lets you spectate races from various
perspectives I hope CEO pinching the air
becomes part of every major product
release going forward it just makes
everything more exciting I think this
called cariz where everything starts
turning into crabs oh no I'm becoming a
crab as you know we're releasing a
product but there's nothing more
exciting than coming back on Wednesday
