Now EA's KILLING Playstations...?

you know what I wish was in the tech news today some kind of technology that can make your hair not look ridiculous and put your colleagues in stitches through that window that you can definitely you know your hair is not so great either Pella last week the u.s. vif the organization that oversees usb standards announced in a phenomenally stupid renaming scheme for existing USB specifications and designated the latest 20 gigabit per second capable version as USB 3.2 Gen 2 by 2 well if you're on the bleeding edge of data transferring connections you might not have to worry about that very much because Intel has just given the specification for Thunderbolt 3 which is capable of 40 gigabits per second to the USB if' who will then use it to form the basis of USB for this means that essentially USB 4 will encompass the protocols for USB 3.0 gen 2x2 hosted and Thunderbolt 3 meaning that device makers won't have to determine whether or not to include Thunderbolt controllers in their products this means that upcoming devices will have USB type-c ports that are capable of everything that USB and Thunderbolt ports are capable of - like charging display output data transfer at up to 40 gigabit per second but the USB if' couldn't just leave it at that all good news they had to screw it up they screwed up the name us before doesn't have a space in it it's just USB for for what for who will never know someone's gotta have a look at their heads speaking of heads you know this past console generation hasn't really been an eye-opener and your eyes are on your head that's where I was going with that for Microsoft they learned a lot of things like how bad Sony could destroy them in ps4 vs Xbox sales so during a press event at their headquarters in Washington the company laid out a vision that involves giving gamers access to games on every platform now we already talked last week about their plans to reportedly bring Xbox game pass to the Nintendo switch but at the event Xbox boss Phil Spencer said that Xbox wants to bring game pass to any device that somebody wants to play on I mean even the PlayStation 4 Phil have you gone mad now as unlikely as Sony would be to agree to such an arrangement it looks like Microsoft would be open to the idea so we'll hopefully get more news about the company's plan at GDC 2019 where they're expected to talk about their multi-platform plans and project X cloud game streaming and then maybe even some new X boxes if maybe you'd like to buy one of those instead of a PS 5 you'd like whatever it's all about choice and anthem the looter shooter from EA and Bioware launched to a decidedly more subdued level of hype than its publishers anticipated the developers have been working hard to incorporate community feedback but it's now become much harder for players to appreciate any changes being made because their consoles are being bricked by the game PlayStation 4 players are reporting that the game will sometimes crash back to the consoles home screen and even turn it off some players have even reported being unable to reboot their machines after a crash so it's just the latest setback for the game but maybe if they didn't want such a rocky launch they shouldn't have tried to jam a classic Bioware esque narrative focused game and a multiplayer grindy lunar shooter into the same cartridge it was never gonna fit in there EA it's just physics also who uses cartridges anymore who wrote this thing and now it's time for the back quacks brought to you by the Marlin screwdriver set from iFixit each fixed blade screwdriver features an ergonomic knurled rubberized handle with a swivel top plus a black oxide coated tip so that it hangs on to tiny screws with a steel grip pretty much everyone here at Linus Media Group uses an eye fix-it kit when they need to repair something so you can trust us when we say that you can trust them I fix its Marlin screwdrivers are manufactured in Germany and backed by I fix its lifetime warranty so get yours for $24.99 and I fix it forward-slash - or at the link below on to the buk quacks project zero Google's initiative to hold developers accountable for fixing security issues in their software has publicly disclosed a high severity flaw in the mac OS kernel the vulnerability could allow hackers a full control over a Mac while avoiding detection now as they usually do project zero actually gave Apple 90 days to fix the bug but they didn't with that said 90 days is not like a lot of time Apple they had stuff to do like yeah like the lattes making yeah and then once you're done to drink it it's hot you know you gotta wait a while NVIDIA GTX 60 and 60 Ti is out and we've heard about a possible non TI 1660 and a 1650 but then Dell just ruined the whole rumour mill because they spilled the beans on the existence of an RT X 2050 on the specs page for their g5 15 gaming laptop so that's exciting news for gamers who need glorious rays at 480p I suppose last week we saw some developers install Android on the Nintendo switch and now others have managed to install the arm compatible version of Windows 10 they apparently even managed to summon a blue screen of death but that shouldn't be any real surprise this means yeah they're having the full windows experience now it's time for an update on mi t--'s future robot killing machines the Institute's adorable mini cheetah robot can now do a backflip it can also stand up to gentle kicks and even land softly on its feet from the fall taar1 and encouraging for the future of the robot race not so much for humans though and SpaceX successfully docked their crew Dragon spacecraft with the International Space Station yesterday despite the name there were no actual crew members on board and in fact no dragons the flight was just a test undertaken before SpaceX's first manned mission using the dragon later on this year I believe that's when Elon Musk is planning to move to the ISS permanently to avoid having his tweets regulated yes and now we've got to no wait there's one more important piece of news can I can I get some sad music yeah thank you okay so a little over a year ago we did a review of what I thought really was going to be the first true robot companion for humans I'm just kidding everything about the idea was terrible and the execution was just as bad but Gebo Gebo I'm afraid is no longer with us as it today G bows themselves have been informing their owners that the servers that run the Gebo service are being shut down and so I just wanted to I want us all actually to take a moment and remember Jibo podgy both who were terrible speaking of terrible I have some terrible news more terrible news it's the end of tech linked but just for today comeback Wednesday there will be more
