the laptop can detect when it's not being used
and close itself to prevent any real snoops from gaining access.
Oh, interesting.
Meanwhile,
Acer showed off a gaming laptop concept called Project Dual Play.
Its touchpad pops out and flips over into a controller
that further separates into two smaller controllers, Nintendo Switch-style.
Wow,
but if you're into gaming products that actually exist,
there's the Tecno Pocket Go,
a handheld PC disguised as a chunky gamepad with AR glasses as a display.
It evokes a cyberpunk dystopia,
where the majority of the population are forced to use the younger sibling controller.
If you're more into home gadgets,
the Wireless Power Consortium,
the minds behind the Qi wireless charging standard,
announced the Ki Standard.
You're supposed to say it the way that other people said the other one wrongly.
Apparently, it's called that because it's for kitchens.
Okay.
Ki transmitters can be baked into countertops,
that's a pun,
and deliver up to 2,200 watts to compatible smart appliances.
These appliances will be cordless to make them dishwasher-safe
and also render them useless if you ever move.
I thought that was a genuine feature.
There is a benefit, though,
if you accidentally knock over a blender or something,
it'll stop spinning.
It'll never spin again.
On the even weirder side,
there's the air purifier table from SwitchBot,
the only company brave enough to ask the question,
what if we just made an air purifier,
but then we gave it a little hat?
You should be brave enough to ask about our sponsor,
Seasonic.
So,
you think you got what it takes to watch the QuickBits, do you?
Huh.
Well, feast your peepers on this!
Huh!
AMD's Jack Huynh spilled some big beans this week.
In a statement at IFA,
Huynh said AMD will be integrating their consumer and data center GPU architectures,
RDNA and CDNA, respectively,
into a unified UDNA architecture,
making a more accessible platform for developers
and hopefully more effectively competing with Nvidia's Cuda ecosystem.
But it seems AMD won't be competing with Nvidia's flagship gaming GPUs,
as Huynh told Tom's Hardware,
TeamRed is re-prioritizing mid-range GPUs,
saying, quote,
I don't want AMD to be the company that only people who can afford Porsches and Ferraris can buy,
and that's why their high-end X870E motherboards reportedly won't cost more than $800.
It's a board for the people.
For the people in higher tax brackets.
Meta's rumored budget headset, the MetaQuest 3S,
is expected to launch on September 25th at Meta's Connect event,
but a render of the headset was recently released online
thanks to reliable leaker, Meta.
The render was originally spotted
in the files of the MetaQuest client for Windows and posted to Reddit,
and it seems to show a design that combines elements
of the Quest 2 and Quest 3.
Likewise,
third-party accessories for the 3S have already appeared on AliExpress,
including apparently real photos of the headset.
I don't know, though.
This could still all be just a prank.
What if we're all in the Metaverse already?
I mean, we just don't...
Amazon's Audible has started to invite certain US audiobook narrators
to train AIs on their own voices.
Narrators who opt in will be compensated for any audiobook that makes use of their AI voice,
though likely at a lower rate via a royalty share model.
Narrators can still choose which productions
get to use their AI voice model,
and will be able to use built-in tools to edit the AI narration
to correct things like pronunciation mistakes and pacing.
But I mean, at that point,
why not just record the audio yourself?
It sounds like you have time.
Oh, what was this delivery?
What is this guy, an idiot?
Sonos is still suffering from its software issues.
According to a report by Mark Gurman,
reporting on something other than Apple?
Right?
What are you doing, Mark?
What are you doing, buddy?
The company's app troubles have caused it to delay the launch of two products,
one of which is a set-top box codenamed Pinewood.
Sonos is also scaling back production of its Ace headphones,
as they haven't exactly been flying off the shelves.
Do you want to buy headphones that will break in a couple months for no reason?
Worth a shot.
Oh yeah, by the way,
Sonos makes headphones,
if you forgot or were never told.
