- There's a mistletoe on the mic boom. - [Riley] Distancing! Distancing! No, throw it! (Riley grunts) - You still have to kiss me. Oh, and take note, guys, there's not gonna be a"TechLinked" on Wednesday, but we will be back on Friday with a special Christmas episode. - [Riley] Ooh! ♪ It's beginning to smella lot like Christmas ♪ Jingle my bells! - There's smells associated. There have been plentyof sub-par game launches, but "Cyberpunk 2077"may go down in history as one of a handful tospark an actual lawsuit over a fiasco of a release. A report has indicatedthat this isn't even a suit that will be brought by customersover a defective product. Instead, this looks likea suit from investors who felt misled by CD Projekt Red. One New York-based law firm that focuses on securities litigation has already put out a press release saying it's consideringaction against the studio and is encouraginginvestors to come forward. This weekend, CD ProjektRed's stock fell by 15% after Sony announcedit was yanking the game from the PlayStation Store. So I hope you put your money in a safer investment, like Bitcoin. - [Riley] Man, Bitcoin. - Mmm.- So punk. - Still hodling. So far, AMD has only released three CPUs in its new Ryzen 5000 series, and although reviews have been very good, they're slightly more expensive than we've been used to for Zen chips. That's kinda what happenswith market share, isn't it? However, it looks like Team Red will be introducing some newSKUs starting next month. Reportedly, we'll be seeing a Ryzen 7 5800 and a Ryzen 9 5900, which should be cheaper thanthe X variants of those chips currently on the market, albeit with lower TDPs, so there. The other two SKUs are the Ryzen 5 5600G and the Ryzen 7 5700G, which both have integrated graphics, hence the G in the- - [Riley] Are they worth another G? - G-Unit! Although those ones looklike they're more for OEMs than DIY builders. It'll be interesting tosee what the pricing is. You know, if we're everable to actually buy them from someone that isn't a scalper. But, you know, aren't allcorporations scalpers? - [Riley] Aren't weall scalpers deep down? (James chuckles) - There's also news today about Intel's upcoming 11th-gen lineup. It looks like, if you're in the market for a new Core i7 or Core i9, you'll be getting 8 cores and16 threads in both series, while the i5's will stickwith 6 and 12, respectively. Interestingly, all SKUsbranded as i5 or higher will use the new Rocket Lake architecture and have Intel's new Xe graphics built in. But if you're going withan i3, Pentium or Celeron, you'll instead be getting Comet Lake refreshed with Intel'solder UHD 600 graphics. It appears that clockrates across the board will be similar to theprevious generation, so hopefully we'll get somegood overclocking headroom with these new chips. And I'm sure Team Blue hopes that they can stopgetting trounced on by AMD in the value-for-money department. - [Riley] I'm ready to feel blue again. - Today's Quick Bits are brought to you by the Drop Panda wireless headphones. Nice timing, guys. They're THX-certified, and they claim to be the world's most distortion-free wireless headphones. With a closed design tokeep your sound contained and THX AAA amplifier technology, you can get closer to yourmusic than ever before. You get 30 hours of wireless life, a detachable gamingmicrophone, Bluetooth support, and compatibility withpopular home assistants. Check-ah them out at-ah the link-ah below! ♪ Now it's time for the Quick Bits ♪ A law took effect in the U.S. this weekend banning ISPs from chargingrental fees for a modem if you bought one for yourself. It sounds kinda crazythat this was allowed to go on in the first place, and although many ISPs weren't doing anything this egregious, some, perhaps unsurprisingly, found a way to make their haplesscustomers pay for nothing. Almost as bad as Las Vegas resort fees. If you're a "Halo" fan that'sstill rocking an Xbox 360, it looks like Microsoft is about to red-ring-of-death your online play, as the company has announced you won't be able to play"Halo" using matchmaking starting in December 2021. - [Riley] You're breaking the covenant! - That's actually messed up. You'll still be able to play custom games if you have specific friends far away that you want to invite whoalso have that old game. (Riley chuckles) But forget about matching up against some rando taunting you in a language that you don't understand, or in a voice that's so high-pitched it makes you even more madthat they're slaying you, 'cause they're 12. - [Riley] I'm upset! - OnePlus has a new phone concept, simply called the 8T Concept, that features a color-changing back panel. A special metal oxidefilm embedded in the phone can change colors between silver and blue, and OnePlus thinks that, farfrom being just for looks, it could end up being useful to indicate incoming notifications. (James hisses) I don't put the screenon the table, personally. - [Riley] Orcs are near! - I like the idea... What was that? Was that a"Lord of the Rings" reference? - [Riley] Orcs are near, my phone is blue. - It's Sting! You've seen it before! If you're an Apple fan in California, don't plan on visiting anApple store anytime soon, as the company has shut downall of its stores in the state due to, guess what, the pandemic. - [Riley] Which one? The- - However, you can still pickup gear you've ordered online, and you can also comein for any appointments you've already made. (chuckles) Those legacy appointments. No word on when the storesmight reopen in earnest and allow people to puttheir grubby little hands on everything once again. - [Riley] I've really missed it. - I just go to swipe. And Queen Elizabeth'sannual Christmas Day address will now be available on Alexa this year. Simply ask her to play thequeen's Christmas Day message after 3 p.m. London time on the 25th. Apparently it'll work whether you're a loyal subject like me or a traitor the crown likeour friends down south. I am not a loyalist. I don't like-- We're Canadian. - She's a nice lady, I'm sure. That's our show for today. Our next broadcast will beon Christmas Day itself, so tune in once you're donelistening to Her Majesty.God save the tech news.
