Whoa, Riley was There's a lot of you here. Can you guys go easy on me? It's my first time telling you about the tech news. Nvidia and AMD have agreed to pay the US government 15% of all revenue from chips that they sell to China. I know. Specifically AI chips like Nvidia's H20 or AMD's Mi308. The news comes just days after the Orange administration hosted Jensen's Jacket at the White House where it was announced that Nvidia was granted the export license needed and in order to sell these chips to China. Impeccable timing because one social media post connected to Chinese state media says that these H20 chips are lacking technological innovation and are environmentally unfriendly. That won't stop them, though it does make things a little awkward. This is the first time a US Company has agreed to fork over some of their revenue in order to obtain these export licenses, rightfully making some experts a little nervous. But that doesn't matter, right? We're all used to pay to win by now, and senior golfer Trump needs more tacky gold to decorate his office with. I make you an offer you can't repeat. The move could bring in more than $2 billion to the US government since Nvidia was expected to sell more than $15 billion worth of these chips to China. Oh yeah, AMD is here as well with their 800 million predicted in sales. Yeah, there's competition. They're competing hard. Speaking of irrelevant things, aol, everyone's favorite dial up Internet service provider, has officially announced that on September 30th they are killing their dial up service. Rest in peace, little yellow man. No longer do you have to run for the remaining 160,000Americans that still use dial up to get their 56 kilobytes a second. Is that how slow it was? Yikes. Are you shocked that many people are still using dial up? I know I was when I read that number. But it is down from about 260,000 just six years ago. This service shutdown comes just four years after Verizon sold Yahoo and AOL to Apollo for a whopping $5 billion. I do wonder how much of that was Yahoo even then. As for now though, all other AOL services are staying up and running, including their newsfeed. Don't know why I bothered to point that out. It's just yellow Yahoo Newsfeed. But hey, remember AOL? It's still here. Barely. GitHub CEO Thomas Domke has announced that he will be resigning. In a blog post he announced he wants to become a startup founder again outside of GitHub and Microsoft, concluding his almost four years as CEO. Microsoft purchased GitHub back in 2018 for 7.5 billion, and at the time people were definitely worried that this acquisition by a major corporation would threaten its community focus. Since then, it's operated more or less as a separate company. But with the departure Of Thomas, the GitHub leadership team will now be reporting to Microsoft's new Core AI team. Instead of getting a direct replacement CEO Thomas plans to stay with GitHub until the end of 2025 to help the transition. Get out of my swamp, Thomas. Don't get but what the is core AI? It's a Microsoft division led by former Meta executive Jay Parakey, with the goal of building an AI platform and tools for both internal use and for its customers. Yay. More AI. How will this affect GitHub? Maybe we'll get an AI CEO. At least then it'll tell me I do a great job every damn time. You're so good, Elijah. You're brilliant, Elijah. Thank you. But I'll let Riley tell you about our sponsor. He's brilliant too. He's pretty cool.

Thanks for going easy with me on the main topics. By the way, do you mind if I stick around for some quickies? Quick quick Bits Sorry, Would you pay to fix your car's software? Hyundai has a security vulnerability with some of their Ioniq 5 vehicles that allows their cars to be hacked with a little device that's disguised to look like an old Game Boy. It's it works by intercepting the signal the car sends out when you place your hand on the door handle. The device then calculates what signal it needs to send back to the car in order to trick the car into thinking it's a legitimate key fob. This isn't actually a new device or a new strategy at all, but what is new is Hyundai has the balls to charge you $65 in order to buy the optional security upgrade to prevent this. What the Hyundai people have to pay because you suck at coding. I personally am just going to let mine get stolen for the insurance money. How about we talk about another car company this video posted on TikTok recently showed a cabless truck from the company Zellotech cruising at highway speed in China. While these cabless cars aren't necessarily new to China, they are new to many western viewers who argue that they should have faces. I agree, since I think they would look a little less terrifying as they drag victims across town, as seen in this video where the moped didn't even slow it down. Totally depends on their expression. Honestly, new rumors popped up about a more affordable 13 inch MacBook, including that this device will be using the A18 Pro chip, which is the same chip used in the iPhone 16 Pro. It is said to be slightly smaller than the current 13.6 inch MacBook. Air and Digitimes reports that some components are expected to enter mass production near the end of Q3. Estimated prices are around 600 to $700, which is, if that's true, would make it the cheapest MacBook to have ever come out. I hope I can just throw a SIM card in this and have a cheaper iPhone Pro they finally made a folding phone. Then at least I'll have the blue text bubbles. Okay, good, you're still paying attention because this one could save you from being doxxed. If you're a user of Instagram, you may have noticed the new Maps feature. Pretty cool and useless, right? Wrong. It's useful for stalkers since if you spammed, accept all permissions when you set up the app years ago, it will show all of your followers your exact location when you post something, including that cute video of your cat that you took at your house on the toilet. Yeah, now you see why it's up. Don't worry though. Head of Instagram Adam Mozuri said on threads, we can and will make it easier to understand exactly what's happening. Also sent from the toilet. Since this was intended to be used to show you nearby events or activities that you were missing out on since your friends didn't invite you, this would probably be the only way I'd get told about the party. So I kind of like the feature. And let's end on some wholesome news. You guys remember R place the subreddit where users could place a colored pixel every couple minutes and work together to create beautiful art? It's back, baby. With wplace Live, which is powered by libremaps so you can place pixels anywhere on the entire planet. Some of my favorites include the Save Hightail art in la, the the anime in Japan, and of course the little LTT logo over our office here. You should go add a Tech Linked one. That'd be kind of cool. And by the time you finish that or any other art, it'll be time for the next Tech linked. Which you promised to check out, right?
