Yeah, over the long weekend I worked on one of my famous interpretive dance sequences. You wanna see? You wanna preview? It's pretty risque stuff in here. Oh shoot, look at the time. We gotta do the tech news. Whoopsies. Apple has announced their new M5 chip which will arrive in a refreshed iPad Pro, MacBook Pro and Vision Pro one week from today. Apple says that in multi threaded performance, the M5 is 15% faster than the M4, but. But more importantly, its 10 core GPU delivers four times the M4's peak compute. Because this is 2025 and it's important to give AI as much power as it needs to melt our brains so we don't feel anything when our skulls are crushed under their metal heels. As for the new M5 equipped 14 inch MacBook Pro, iPad Pro and Vision Pro, well, the M5 seems to be the only real new thing about them. But if you, if you're a total compute head, you can choose wrongly to pre order them now and when they ship on the 22nd, you can watch all your favorite shows on Apple's newly renamed streaming service Apple TV plus tv. TV plus no, it's just Apple TV now, which is probably what half of you are already calling it anyway, while the other half screamed Apple TV is the box mom. Apple is right to call this a vibrant new identity for the platform. I love it when we talk about streaming services like they're our friend Chris changing the spelling of his name by removing the H. So much more vibrant, Chris. Almost as vibrant as the custom Labubu given to Tim Cook by the creator of Labubu himself. Aw, thank you. Introducing Labubu. 17 reviews are out for the ROG, Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X. Shortcircuit and Linus Tech Tips have both released videos about the new gaming handhelds for some reason alongside many other people that don't work in this building. Seems like most reviewers are impressed by the Ally X's hardware and performance, but think 1000 bucks is a bit steep for something that seems to not even know whether it's a real Xbox or not. Make up your mind. And while the non x ally's price of $600 is smaller, it's actually an even greater obstacle given the lackluster gaming chops of its arguably outdated chip design. We are just tearing into these things. They have some redeeming qualities. The joysticks are nice. Well, if the reviews for these new handhelds turn you off, don't worry, it sounds like you won't have to wait long for new consoles. Generally reliable AMD leaker Kepler L2 stated on a NeoGAF forum that the specs for PlayStation's next console are finalized, and YouTuber Moore's Lawisdead has revealed alleged details about the next gen Xbox and its Magnus APU from AMD. And with the leaked specs in mind, WCCFtech says that the next gen Xbox will have the hardware edge compared to its PlayStation contemporary. What a crazy moment for Xbox. One day they're dying, never releasing hardware again and being relegated to a game streaming service, and the next they're pumping out powerful handhelds and supposedly winning the console wars of 2027 a year when AI will just play our games for us and it won't matter anyway. It'll be so much better. Speaking of AI, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has announced that ChatGPT will be able to engage in erotic conversations with verified adult users by December. Clock's ticking. As part of an initiative to put some of that good, spicy personality back into the chatbot that they took out in a tweet, Altman says that OpenAI has been pretty restrictive with ChatGPT's personality and conversation topics for fear of putting folks with mental health issues at risk. But that made it less fun to use for many users with absolutely no mental health problems at all. You know, normal people, they figured it all out. So OpenAI is loosening those restrictions with help from a newly formed expert council of well being and AI whose first decree is to say smut is okay for verified adults. It is the will of the council. This is a bit of an about face from Altman, who had previously made jokes at the expense of the sexy anime slot being generated by Grok. But I guess the people want what the people want, and they really want to talk dirty with their chatbots. I'm guessing this is going to be a big blow to people fighting against AI slop on the Internet, because it's about to get a whole lot sloppier. All that said, even though you're gonna be sexting your chatbot soon, you can Forget about marrying it. And at least in Ohio, where lawmaker Thaddeus Clagett. Yes, has put forward House Bill 469 to stop humans from marrying AI and to stop AI from acquiring personhood like they're stealing it from a bank. We got the personhood run. Claggett says that he wants to make sure we always have a human in charge of the technology and not the other way around. I'll tell you what, I'd rather have a Claggett in charge than a Clanker. That's not how they sound in Ohio, so I'm sorry. And if I'm fixing to stay dry, I'd rather use our sponsor, Vessi. They make gear for people that like looking good and staying dry. Normally a pretty big ask, but Vessi says their sneakers are waterproof thanks to their dymatex technology. So, hey, slip them comfy things on and jump in a puddle on purpose just to show it who's boss. But Riley, I don't have Vessi's yet. Well, then you should probably enter this sick giveaway we're running with Vessi. You could win one of seven epic prize packs loaded with gadgets and gear from Vessi and LTT store. Go to vessi.com lmg Enter your email and you'll receive a 20% off code to use this October. But you better act now because the giveaway ends on Halloween. Get more details at the link below. You know, before the quick bits started hanging around here, they were an incredible breakdancer down in La Pop and locking that would blow your mind. Ask JC chassis Windows 10 was issued its last major update on October 14, the operating system's last day of official support. It's been sent adrift like a Viking funeral ship. Okay, we got a quote here. Cattle die and kinsmen die, and so one dies one's self. But a noble name will never die. If good renown one gets that doesn't. Is that supposed to rhyme? But wait, hold your Norse funeral poetry. You may remember that there are a number of ways to get a free year of security Updates for Windows 10, including simply signing into Windows with your Microsoft account and syncing your settings. Ragnarok isn't here after all. I got all emotional for nothing. You know what is here? Nvidia's DGX Spark personal AI supercomputer. Team Green's first product to feature its homegrown grown GB10 SoC. It's such a big deal that Nvidia bumped the starting price up to $4,000 after announcing that it would start at $3,000 earlier this year. Still, Jensen hand delivered a spark to Elon Musk, and you can't put a price on that additional leather jacket cool factor. Well, I guess you can. It's $1,000 Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold is Blowing up for all the Wrong reasons in a YouTube video from JerryRigEverything, aka Zach Nelson, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold's battery appears to expand, overheat and emit a bunch of smoke during the Bend test, eventually setting off a fire alarm. While the Bend test is pretty extreme and puts an unusual amount of stress on the phone, Nelson does note that he's been doing this test for a decade and he has never seen a phone explode like this before. I guess you could say the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the hot new phone, but not in the way Google wanted. Ooh, got em again. Two in a row. Anduril, the military tech company created by Palmer Luckey, the original founder of Oculus, has teamed up with Meta to launch the Eagle Eye military helmet as part of Lucky's mission to turn war fighters into technomancers. The Eagle Eye uses a mixed reality system built into a soldier's helmet as a sort of AI partner in their display, aiding in mission planning, enhanced perception of a battlefield, and presumably writing army approved erotica. Now that all sounds awesome, but I'm not sure how badass military guys will feel about wearing what Gizmodo calls tactical cat ears and taking part in the uwu ification of war. Alrighty, thanks for watching. That's plenty of tech news for one day. If you want more, come back on Friday. Now how about I show you some of these freaky dance moves? Incredible. Plie. Beautiful. What is a chasse? I don't know. Pirouette. I get it now.
