Why didn’t Nvidia FIX THIS?

 Why didn’t Nvidia FIX THIS?

i don't need to deliver this rally

because this intro seems really sexual

whoa that's you reading into it man

that's not come on baby

let's get our tech news off alex please

nvidia's rtx 3080 is still in very short

supply but that might be for the best

because

many users have been reporting the card

randomly crashing during gameplay

an investigation revealed the problem is

caused by capacitors on some factory

overclock cards from add-in board

partners

and not a vengeful ghost sent by lisa

sue it appears once the gpu's boost

clock gets above about 2 gigahertz it

can overload the capacitors causing a

crash

after the report was initially posted on

a hardware site evga said they were

indeed having problems with certain

capacitors during testing limiting the

boost clock manually

seems to solve the issue but it's

certainly disappointing for those who

plunk down

extra cash for an overclocked card it's

not like a capacitor issue can be solved

with a software update or something like

that

too bad it's not vengeful ghosts you can

get rid of those easily oh yeah

this is a couple eye of newt because

ghosts don't exist

speaking of random crashes apple watch

series 3s are also being haunted

not by ghosts but by watch os 7. the new

os was released

last week and brought a lot of new

features to the series three

one of which causes the gadget to reboot

several times a day without warning

wait that's a bug not really a feature

other users have complained of lag which

of course

can't happen sometimes when old device

gets new os's that's

more demanding on the hardware but it

also raises the question of why

apple would even bother pushing watchos

7 to an older device that can't

really run it that definitely doesn't

seem like something

apple would do that was sarcasm we're

still

an update though ended last week was

supposed to fix the issue but

usually reported that the patch was

ineffective almost as if apple

wants you to buy the new watch essie for

some mysterious

unexplained reason that's so unlike

apple they love us

just get a casio works every day if

you're living in the us and use

cryptocurrency

at all keep an eye out on your tax forms

beginning in january

the irs is reportedly thinking about

adding a question on form 1040

asking if you have any dealings with

crypto during the last calendar year

and if so how many hacker xp points you

gained that's not true

unsurprisingly the tax authorities have

had a hard time tracking cryptocurrency

transactions

and determining whether people are using

it to hide assets they've already gotten

their hands on records from

cryptocurrency exchanges like coinbase

but it's difficult to actually find the

individuals behind each transaction

which

i think is kind of the whole idea except

in that one reply all episode everybody

was just like

and found it that's true yeah with this

new proposal filers would have to

consciously check yes or no which would

theoretically make it easier for the

feds to nail people for lying about

bitcoin

but i'm sure cryptocurrency users will

be fine

just use incognito that's not good

advice there's a tactic

don't do that today's quick bits are

brought to you by private internet

access vpn which lets you mask your ip

and encrypt your traffic

countries with no bandwidth caps

with a kill switch to keep you in

control

and when combined with private browsing

it can make websites think you're in a

different country

you can connect up to five devices at

once whether it be windows mac

android ios or linux and pia's mace

feature blocks malware and tracking

domains

is this sexual again riley no it's just

let's get our quick bits off

a last-minute ruling from a judge has

saved tick tock from the band hammer

that was supposed to go into effect

midnight last night tick tock will now

get an extension till the 12th of

november to come to a sort of agreement

with the u.s administration

in what fast is becoming a monthly

tradition that may

not continue depending on how the

election goes well

either way it's been fun amazon's annual

prime day event will be held on october

13th

and 14th typically prime day happens

during summertime but

due to the pandemic it was postponed and

there was some speculation that there

wasn't going to be

a 2020 prime day oh my god but now

you're able to blow

all your money on all sorts of crap that

you don't really need just

in time for the holidays that magical

time of the year when we

really celebrate the birth of capitalism

if you're living in the uk

you might be pleased to know that uber

will be operating once again in london

at least for the next year and a half

the rideshare company lost its operating

license last year

due to the concerns about unauthorized

driver which sounds like it could be the

backbone of the plot for the next james

bond movie we didn't have a license bond

you're grounded nasa still has plans to

send a multi-rotor drone to saturn's

moon titan which

is notable for being the only moon in

the solar system with an atmosphere

however the launch has now been delayed

to 2027 partly because of the pandemic's

impact on nasa's budget

the agency hopes to study the

possibility that titan might be

habitable one day

and given how this year has gone getting

away from earth for a bit

sounds like a pretty sweet deal and

and it's the end of the era for people

who game on facebook as

farmville will be shutting down really

at the end of this year

the game has an 11-year run that was

notable for spamming facebook timelines

with posts

about how quickly your pigger whatever

was leveling up the company behind

farmville stayed at the end of adobe

flash support

as a key reason for the game being

sunsetted so

i guess i'll have to try my hand at real

farming now or just go play some stardew

valley do that

yeah i play lots of star dude it's

awesome it's okay that's our show for

today

so see you wednesday for more tech news

with no added hormones

wow that's weird
