Now that's a collad.... really?

 

Hy everyone...

       ah I have so much Tech news to give you but I don't know if you're ready some of it may unsettle you cause you some discomfort might make you feel a little bit woozy Intel is reportedly working to finalize commitments from Nvidia to have Team Blue's Foundry division manufacture team Green's gaming gpus an eerily perfect setup for the tech industry version of the Red Wedding from Game of Thrones and team red isn't even involved in tell no get out of there the news comes from industry analyst Timothy aruri who wrote in a note to investors that securing Foundry customers like Nvidia or less likely broadcom is a major goal of the company's new CEO lip boan even if Nvidia doesn't love the idea of having their chips made by a competitor in the gaming GPU Market to be extremely charitable towards Intel the deal could make sense if only to avoid the tariffs US president Trump may still place on chips made by nvidia's existing partner tsmc and who knows maybe Intel could help Nvidia stock more than like four graphics cards at each retailer scalping and supply issues are part of why AMD sold 10 times more RX 970 XTS in the first week than its predecessors or at least that's what CEO Dr Lisa Sue said in an interview with Asus China I got to say I didn't did not have Radeon graphics cards are dominating the market so Nvidia and Intel have to team up to take them down on my 2025 bingo card because I don't have a bingo card at all that's gambling lots of notable AI developments this week with the arrival of new Gemini 2.5 thinking models from Google deep mind that the company says are Mighty powerful by which they mean they're just slightly better on some common benchmarks but a new Benchmark could show that all the AI suck hold on that's for the end of the story open AI finally rolled out native image generation for chat gbt's 40 model meaning it no longer needs to use do for that the update has made chat gbt shockingly good at reproducing text in generated images while maintaining the consistency of characters and environments through multiple iterations it's a feature that open AI has apparently been holding on to since 40 was en veiled nearly a year ago I guess they decided to wait until 2 weeks after Google launched the same thing in Gemini bom gotcha notably guard rails for these image generators have been loosened open AI System card for GPT 40 says they're not blocking the capability to generate public figures as long as they're adults and public figures who wish for their depiction not to be generated can opt out I didn't see how uh in the document I guess Tred dming Sam guess what there's more Nvidia is now rolling out Project G assist it's AI assistant that can run locally on your GPU and is apparently named after the company's fake AI assistant from their April Fool's joke in 2017 8 years from parody to reality is this normal the real G assist won't play games for you but in addition to giving gaming tips it can actually control third party accessories like wall lights and even change some of your PC settings if you ask it to instead of just telling you that you can open the set app than find an enable dark mode uh and how did Nvidia make a more useful AI assistant for Windows PCS than Microsoft meanwhile chatbot service character.

   which is very popular among teens as evidenced by all those uplifting articles about the things it's done has announced a new parental insights feature which lets users under 18 send a weekly activity report to their parent or Guardian if they want to uh it's parental controls for the good kids that don't need them now in case you're worried that AI is getting too smart too fast there's a new Benchmark Arc AGI 2 which requires fluid intelligence to complete novel tasks instead of testing AIS on their ability to solve problems that are probably in their training data somewhere and nearly every model is horrible at this new test so we should have some time left before we all feel the AGI in the form of robot bot feet on our neck right now we can feel the savings with our sponsor Micro Center and their monitor Madness event that's on right now with great deals on a wide range of monitors from this Acer Nitro 2K 180 HZ for just $199.99 to this Samsung Odyssey cuti OLED super ultra wide that's $700 off it's mad mad I tell you and Micro Center is opening another store in Santa Clara California so you can shop deals like that in person that's almost as mad as giving people who sign up at the link below a free 128 gig flash drive in store when it opens this year what they're doing that as if that wasn't enough Micro center is also running a GPU trade in program so you can bring in your GPU purchased at Micro center and receive an offer that very same day or if you just want to recycle your old Tech or donate it to someone in need Micro centre can help with that too they even got Tech news articles tutorials and buying guides on their blog they're like a Swiss army knife over here shop Micro Center's monitor Madness event at the link in the description did that news disqui disturb or perturb you I'm sorry these quick bits should feel much better entering your ocular and auditory orifices why did I say it like that ASRock ASRock every time ASRock has published a slightly confusing update after investigating issues experienced by some owners of the company's motherboards while ASRock acknowledged some some of its bios versions caused boot issues with quote random 9,000 Series CPUs they say their new bios 3.20 fixes that issue and it's not related to the other issue that caused burn damage on the CPU socket uh they didn't exactly say what could have caused multiple users to report burnt CPUs and pins on the motherboard but implied it was caused by debris in the socket which they removed uh leading to the system some passing long-term stress tests so there was just some you know stuff unfortunately for ASRock many are still calling for further investigation as there was something in there in it is a less than satisfying answer what was it well I some variety of Gunk some promising Windows 11 features have popped up in a new preview build including a controller friendly keyboard and more importantly an improved Windows search where which will only be available on co-pilot plus PCS because I guess Microsoft needed Advanced neural networks to make search almost as useful as it was in Windows 7 Apple has once again been barred from participating in Google's upcoming anti-rust hearing after an appeals court denied the tech Giants motion to testify about how much it would suck for them to lose the $20 billion Google pays them every year to be Safari's default search engine this is so sad they just want to be together for the hearing and conduct Shady deals I ship them Canada has banned Tesla from receiving any federal electric vehicle rebates in the future weeks after the company filed for $ 43.1 million in rebates claiming that four of its Canadian stores had sold 8,653 vehicles in 3 days that would be 120 EVS per hour the sales all happened the weekend before a previously announced pause in the EV rebates program so I can understand why all those Canadians rush to get one before the deadline and a company called gravitics has been awarded funding by the US space force to develop what is essentially an aircraft carrier in space awesomely referred to as an orbital carrier the craft would actually hold maintain and release satellites into orbit which would save on having to launch them from Earth however the company didn't say they wouldn't also be used eventually for transporting squadrons of star Fighters so I'm considering that a feature that's coming later on also arriving later more Tech news on Friday specifically because that's when Tech news happens next because that's when I make the tech news happen I think that's how it works.

Thank you so much.....
