 Daily Tech News show is made possible by you. It's listeners, thanks to all of you, including A.P. Puppy, Dale McKayhee, Matt Zaglin, and a Libertarian. On this episode of DTNS, CES kicks off, and boy, howdy, have we got the news. Buckle in, partners, it's gonna be fun. This is the Daily Tech News for Monday, January 8th, 2024. From Studio Animal House, I'm Sarah Lane. From Columbus, Ohio, I'm Rob Dunderwood. And I'm the show's producer, Roger Chang. So this show is gonna be a little different than our regular shows, just because we have so much CES news. We're gonna try to pack that in, along with other news that you need to know about. So let's kick it off with the quick hits. Apple is not at CES in any official capacity, yet we have four Apple-related stories. First, the Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headset will go on sale in the US on February 2nd, with pre-orders starting January 19th. Meanwhile, Jeffery's analysts estimate that iPhone sales in China fell 30% in December, compared to last year, quite a drop. Apple will also pay people around $92 per claim to settle a 2020-class action lawsuit over how it managed aging batteries by slowing down the performance of older phones. Finally, Apple is appealing the EU decision regarding its app store under the DMA, Digital Markets Act. Apple says the EU shouldn't treat watch, iPad and iPhone stores as one entity. Open Eye published a letter on its official blog, stating it's rather unsurprising point of view in response to the New York Times lawsuit against it. Open Eye asserts that training on publicly available data is fair use of copyright works. It also noted that it believes models outputting exact copies of copyrighted works are not typical and suggests they may be cherry-picked or the result of carefully phrased prompts meant to get the model to output a copy. Waymo announced on Monday it will begin testing its driverless passenger vehicles using its autonomous Jaguar i-Pace SUVs in Phoenix, Arizona, later this month. Waymo previously used the same roads with a human operator, so this would be the same thing, but without a human. In December, the company started offering curbside drop-off and pickup at the Phoenix airport, after it also made its autonomous vehicles available in the Uber app. EV sales rose 38% last year for Tesla and 93% for GM. That may sound odd considering the headlines about declining EV production, but while growth was positive, it was still short of expectations. On Monday morning, a ULA Vulcan rocket launched from Florida and deployed its primary payload, the Peregrine Lunar Lander, sending it on its way for an uncrewed mission to land on the moon. About six hours after liftoff, Astrobotic, which developed Peregrine, announced the Lander entered safe mode and did not achieve its desired sun-pointing orientation. Later, Astrobotic announced a propulsion issue appeared to be the problem that could prevent the moon landing outright. Then, in a later update, Astrobotic announced it had discovered a critical loss of propulsion entirely. It's trying to minimize the loss, but said it had begun working on alternate missions that it might achieve. So it sounds like it's not going to get to the moon, after all, at least not in this trip. Sunday, Sean Bates found an iPhone in a bush that had been sucked out of the cabin of the Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 when part of its fuselage disappeared and has since been found. It's still working. Part of its charging cable is still attached and has shown an email receipt for a checked bag. All right, let's talk about some CES news that's coming out. We call these the CES QuickHits this week anyway. The Wi-Fi Alliance announced it will now officially certify devices that support Wi-Fi 7. That promises better speed and efficiency over Wi-Fi 6E. That was the first to support the 6 gigahertz band. So Wi-Fi 7 routers already exist. You might even have one. But the certification adds another layer of this is going to work to your existing setup. Offering double the channel bandwidth from 160 megahertz to 320 compared to the fast devices on the Wi-Fi 5, 6 or 6E standards and the potential for up to two gigabits per second speeds. Wi-Fi 7 also supports multi-link operation or MLO, which bonds connections across 2.4 gigahertz, five gigahertz and six gigahertz bands. Pet-related technology is never hard to find a CES and this year, Swiss startup Flappy is unveiling an AI-powered cat door that automatically locks if a kitty tries to bring in prey that it caught from outside. Rob, I don't know if you have cats who do that but cats do do things like this. What are the reasons why I don't? Well, facial recognition is not a new thing. In fact, we're all quite used to it but video doorbells, electronic door locks and fingerprint readers and keypads been around for a while but might get better with the lockly visage being marketed as the first electronic lock that can use facial recognition to unlock your door making the whole process entirely hands-free. Maybe you have groceries in your hands. Maybe you have a vermit that your cat caught outside. I don't know. Keys, RFID fobs, fingerprints and keypads also work in case you forgot your face at home which sometimes also happens. Thread is the standard for how matter compliant smart home devices can talk to each other. Matter devices can talk other ways but thread has lots of features that make the devices more interoperable. For thread to work you need a border router like an Apple TV or Google Nest Hub. Up until now each of these created its own thread network so if you had more than one you had to choose one and remember it. The thread group is fixing that with an update that will standardize how border routers share credentials so they all play together in one big thread mesh network. There's also a few additions coming to help troubleshooting and bringing wifi and ethernet connected devices into thread networks. Bosch is showing off eye tracking tech for cars that's more than just making sure that your eyes are on the road even though that's very important. It can also note what points of interest you're looking at and offer suggestions like hours of operation, nearby restaurant options, some history about a castle you saw on a hillside, et cetera, et cetera. It can also tell if you're drowsy which is a safety issue of course but Bosch also showed it knowing to ask you if you'd like a coffee for the records. My 2019 Volvo XC60 also does this. Acer announced the Swift Go 14 and 16 laptops that can open 180 degrees, feature Intel's Meteor Lake core Ultra CPUs, the new co-pilot key and Wi-Fi 7 starting at $750 in North America in March. Then there's the Swift X14 that has the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, light sensing and an enhanced 2.8K OLED display coming to North America in February starting at $1,400. The Vero 16 with pro consumer or should say pro consumer recycled plastic and a touchpad made of ocean bound glass is coming to North America in April starting at $750 and $250 for the Acer Aspire Go 14 and 15 S coming to North America in February. The Acer Aspire 3D 15 spatial labs edition that uses machine models to make 2D graphics 3D, the 57 inch curved Predator Z57 monitor and the 3D Predator Spatial Labs view 27 are all coming in Q1. All right, Rob, what would CES be without a big old TV announcement? Remember when 80 inches was a big television? Well, TCL showed off a 115 inch mini LED TV with quantum dot technology that it says is the largest mini LED with quantum dot. Part of TCL's premium QM8 line as TCL tries to move away from just being a discount brand. TLC also announced the NXTPA, it was the next paper, I think is how it's pronounced, 14 pro. Probably next paper. Yeah, the next paper 14 pro, which has a button to let you switch between black and white paper and full color tablet modes. It's an e-ink style, though not actually paper, no prices, but coming to the US in early 2024. And Garmin announced the $150 HRM fit that has a clip meant to snap on to the bottom of a sports bra so you don't have to use an uncomfortably tight chest strap. Not all of us wear sports bras, but for those who do, you know. It is compatible with edge cycling computers and captures heart rate data as well. Garmin also announced the $250 Lily II hybrid analog smartwatch marketed to women. And Garmin also updated its Connect app to look more organized. All of these are available now. All right, Rob, let's talk about some chips. Well, HP claims to have the lightest 14 inch gaming laptop in the world, the HP Omen Transcend weighs three and a half pounds while still packing in an NVIDIA RTX 4070 GPU. That's only 0.1 pounds heavier than the 14 inch MacBook Pro. It has three requisite ports, USB-C and a full size HDMI port, and it's 2.8K OLED panel and runs on Intel's Meteor Lake processors. The HP Omen Transcend starts at $1,600 and is shipping in Q1. Yeah, and we have HP's Omen Transcend 32, which is not only a 4K 240 Hertz monitor, but also has a KVM built in and gives you picture-in-picture of each computer that is plugged in. You can even drag files from one device to another. No price or release date on this, but it sounds like HP is doing some cool stuff. Yeah, so I'm generally on the PC side and I'm more of a Dell person, but that's not a bad laptop for $1,600. I mean, there's a lot packed in that with a really, really good graphics card. So you're gonna be playing the best of the best games with this with no issues whatsoever, I would imagine, on this type of PC. I mean, I don't really feel like hardcore gamers are interested in the lightest laptop in the world, but maybe that's just because that wasn't available until now. So I'm thinking maybe not your hardest core of hardcore gamers, but I look at this for like a college student that plays games on a gaming PC at the house, but just really can't take all that to college. This would actually work as a very good PC to carry around school because it's so light, but also you can game on it. Whether you're gonna play with it, put a keyboard, did you plug into it so you actually have your gaming keyboard or you're playing with a controller. This is gonna hold up for that. So this is kind of where I see that playing for that college student that didn't take their rig with them but still wanted to play games in between study sessions. All right, let's talk about what Samsung announced, Rob. Samsung announced a feature called Lightwarp for its Premiere 8K and Premiere 5 projectors that includes projection mapping. That means you can tap on the items in the projected image and interact with them. Samsung's examples were writing on a sticky note or playing a tabletop game. We didn't get any prior pricing or availability on these models. Yeah, that's coming soon. Samsung also announced the MusicFrame speaker, which like it's frame TV, if you're familiar with that, is meant to be viewed as art. So you can customize the print on the front, hang it on the wall like a picture, but it also has surround sound speakers that uses Samsung Q's symphony protocol to pair with 2024 Samsung TVs and soundbars. So this is all kind of rolling up this year. Also has two woofers, two tweeters, two mid-range drivers plus wave guides. You can connect by Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. You do have to plug it in, so this isn't wireless, but pretty cool. We don't have a price, but it has come in the spring. Transparent TVs are already a thing at CES. Samsung showed off what it calls the world's first transparent micro LED display next to its existing transparent OLED and LCD models. The micro LED display is brighter and doesn't need a frame. And Gadget said it was easier to see though through the glass as well. Micro LED has higher pixel density for sharper images. There is no word on when micro LED technology will come to a shipping display. Oh, Samsung, you thought you were the only one? No, LG also, you know, has updated its wireless TV from last year with a transparent OLED panel to make what it calls the world's first wireless transparent OLED TV, the OLED T. Inputs go into the zero-connect box that was shown off at last year's CES. You can place away from the TV or near it, you have options. You know, that's the whole wireless part though. Also added in a little rollable tech with a contrast screen that you can roll up or down if you don't want full transparency. Also has LG's new Alpha 11 AI processor in the mix. LG says it will make standalone against the wall and wall mount versions of this TV. No price, but coming sometime this year. So I would say that Samsung and LG know what they're doing by telling you all these great things that are coming out but not actually telling you the price because it makes you, oh wow, I really want that frameless speaker, but I don't know what it costs. So I'm gonna think about it for weeks and then they hit you with the price and you try to rationalize it as compared to if you get hit with the price right up front, you may immediately eliminate it from something that you might buy. So they're pretty good at that because all this future stuff, they are not giving you the prices which in my mind, you know, gives them the opportunity to change them depending on how the wind blows on what people are willing to spend. Yeah, I mean, on DTNS, we try to pass along only stuff that we don't think is going to be vaporware. CES sometimes, sometimes just the vaporware goes through the cracks, not saying that anything that we talked about is going to be that, but when you don't have a price and you don't have a release date, you kind of go like, this sounds really cool, when and where and how much, exactly. And sometimes none of those things actually come to fruition. I don't know. I'm, you know, the whole sort of like TV when you're not using it being something else, you know, for example, you know, a picture frame or, you know, something that you can use, you know, for work in some capacity, that has always been a promise. Well, not always. That has been a promise for, I don't know, the last few years. And I've never personally been able to make that work or figure out a use case for myself, even though I work from home and, you know, pretty much any monitors is always sort of a work monitor in some capacity. But I don't know, Rob, what do you think about the idea of like having like a big old TV that's great for watching stuff, but is also something else? I am interested by the idea of hanging a frame on the wall that looks like art, except for when I'm watching something on it. Yeah. So that's to me where this would work, because, you know, if you're talking about nice art, the artwork can cost a lot more than what these displays would. So that's where I see this being for something in my world to where, okay, I'm not gonna go buy that print, but I will buy this monitor that I can actually make it look like a print most of the time. And then I can also use it to watch the game if I need to. Yeah. So AMD announced three new 8,000 G series processors with integrated graphics for the desktop. The $329, eight core Ryzen 7 8700G with a radon 780M GPU. The $229, six core Ryzen 5 8600G with a radon 760M GPU. And the $179, six core Ryzen 5 8500G with a radon 740M graphics. Both the 8700G and 8600G come with the Ryzen AI neural processor enabled. These processors release January 31st. AMD has also announced the radon RX 7600XT which can do 1,440P gaming for $329 coming January 24th. And four new Ryzen 5,000 processors based on older AM4 sockets for less than $280 coming in January, actually at the end of January on the 31st. Oh, go ahead. Go ahead, Roger. I was about to say it's very interesting that AMD released these chips now. They are essentially trying to fit out the rest of their catalog but they're available bottle sets in their product category. So they have something for everyone at every price point. And what's interesting is that they released new chips, the 5,000 processors for the older AM4 socket which is an older technology that people still have. And it's pretty much of the mind of, hey, we're not forcing you to upgrade to a new socket, new motherboard, all the new RAM. You can just buy a new chip and be happy. And so they're just trying to get the entire spectrum of customers from the high spenders down to the people who just want to spend 300 bucks for an upgrade. Yeah, being able to upgrade your existing motherboard is smart on their part because that's why a lot of folks build these high-end PCs because they want to be able to modify them. They want to be able to, oh, here's a new card. I want to get, let me upgrade it. And it kind of defeats the purpose if every time something new comes out, you have to get a new motherboard. So I actually appreciate them actually coming out with something that is going to allow you to use technology that's a little bit older but still get that newness, that new hotness as far as the graphics cards are concerned. And I think this is a roundabout way of placating people who've been complaining that all their AM5 socket motherboards are a lot pricier than their Intel equivalent. So they're trying to like, well, let's see how we can spread some of the, not the pain, but some of the generosity of the company around and we'll give them some new chips. Well, one of the more popular demos at CES Unveiled that's sort of the pre-CES Sunday night event where a lot of journalists, such as ourselves, Tom Merritt included, can go and see the new hotness. One of the busier ones was the Belkin Stand Pro. It uses Apple's docket framework to connect a device to an iPhone, but you don't need an app to do so. So you put an iPhone 12 or newer in the MagSafe mount and the base can rotate 360 degrees tilt up and down 90 degrees, pairs with NFC at which point any app with a camera will work with it. The dock will track you and move the iPhone so you stay in the center of the camera frame. So you can turn the tracking off with a button if you want, if you don't want to be tracked, just sort of depends on what you want to use it for. Offer also offers a 15 watt fast charging while your phone is docked. The Stand Pro sells for $180 someday. We don't exactly know when, such as CES not giving us release dates for a lot of the stuff that we would very much like to pay for. Belkin also showed off several other new products including a three in one mag net charging stand that supports a G2 wireless charging for AirPods, Apple Watch and a phone that's $150 and a G2 magnetic 5,000 milliamp power bank for $40. And because we know many of you love an efficient compact gallium nitride charger, you know who you are out there. There's also the Boost Charge Pro for port USB-C GAN charger, 200 watts for $130 launching in March. The six and one core GAN dock with HDMI, gigabit ethernet, two USB-A and two USB-C ports, ooh, for $230 are available for pre-order now. Sarah, I'm really liking that rotating MagSafe mount. Are you? Yeah, I really do. I'm not an iPhone user, but if I were, this would be something that I would actually think about getting because everybody's into content creation these days. And this is one of those things to where you can just take it, you know, something out of your pocket, put it on this and the way it tracks you, I mean you can do some fairly adept videos or picture taking with this. So that's what interests you most out of this read. Yeah, you know, it's funny, I was on a, well, I was about to say a group Zoom call. It was FaceTime, but you know, same idea. And you know, somebody had a really nice, you know, camera shot and I was like, what are you using for your camera? And she was like, my iPhone. And I was like, oh yeah, good idea. You know, we can't all use our iPhones as, you know, our kind of rigs in the way that I think that the Belkin Stan Pro is supposed to be used. However, if you can part with it for the amount of time that you need to use something like the Belkin and it not be like a standalone product like, I don't know, the Echo Show for example, or you know, Meta had its own Facebook, I don't even remember the name of the product now. Didn't really go anywhere. But you know, if you can use something that you already have to be able to be sort of a next-gen version of a smart camera that can yeah, be used for fun, but certainly for work, sounds great to me. Absolutely. Withing showed off the Beam O, which combines a thermometer, stethoscope pulse oximeter and EKG into a device about the size of a thick tube of toothpaste. It uses the same PPG sensors that you find in smartwatches to measure your heart rate, the ones with the green LED. It uses Paseo Electric Disc for the stethoscope and it has a headphone jack so you can listen to or let your doctor listen and perhaps a telehealth situation. It could be used for something like that. The Beam O will set you back to $250. It's actually $249.95. Once it gets FDA clearance for EKG and AFib detection, which it hopes should come into sales by June of this year. Hey, man, the more we can figure out what's going on with our bodies and the stuff that we have either strapped to us all the time or part of the time, I'm into it. It's funny, Rob, I wear an Apple Watch even when I sleep because I like to know my sleep tracking even though it doesn't really make me do anything different, but I still like, you know, the date is good. But it has told me as of late that I have low like cardio oxygen levels. I mean, I'm pretty healthy otherwise. I run around a lot, you know, but you know, I'm sort of like, huh, let's figure this out, you know, just, you know, it's a little metric of like, let's figure this out. Let's figure out if there's something that I'm either doing wrong or something that the device is calculating, you know, in a way that is throwing me off. So the more that, especially like, you know, when you get into the AFib situation, you know, heart health, very, very important. And the more people I think that have that kind of data that they can share with their medical professional, of course, the better. Yeah, being able to share with your medical professional is key because a lot of times, if you go to just a regular checkup and you feel okay, you don't really, there's no reason for you to say, oh, I need you to check this or I need you to check that. But these actually might queue you in and say, hey doc, I got this weird greeting on my device. Can you tell me what this means? So I am a fan of that. Many of us are familiar with JBL when it comes to the headphones, earbuds and speakers, but the company is getting into the microphone business and has released three new devices aimed at creators. The Quantum Stream Talk is a $50 condenser mic with a super cardio pickup pattern, which means it picks up only what is directly in front of it. The Quantum Stream Wireless is a wearable clip-on design that you can plug directly into your smartphone and will set you back $100. And then the flagship is a $150 professional grade Quantum Stream Studio with a three capsule condenser mic suited for voiceover work, music and the like. Oh man, I mean, our podcast studios, I mean, I know we all have sort of cobbled our own together and I actually just, you know, upgraded my mic situation a little bit. But man, to be able to make this as not only sort of, I don't know, almost like put in your pocket and go, but like a portable thing is really key. I know a lot of folks, you know, a lot of folks skimp on the mic stuff. And that is any podcaster who does this for a living will tell you, you can't skimp on audio, you just can't. You absolutely cannot, you absolutely cannot. And even if you're doing video, half of video is audio. So you need to sound good. And what I like about these is they're all, two of the three are USB, one plugs into your phone. So you don't need mixers and interfaces and all that kind of stuff. You really can just buy it, plug it into your PC and you're good to go or you're met. Well, I mentioned that Tom Merritt has been let loose on the floors of CES. He's there right now. He is on the ground offering up his soul. We like to say to descend on Las Vegas this week. It is, CES is, it's a lot. It is a lot to take in. It's a lot to sort of wade through the fud and figure out what is cool. What is actually going to change our lives in the next year plus. So that's what Tom's doing. You can follow his antics on the DTNS TikTok and Instagram and on YouTube as well. On Sunday night, that would be last night as of this recording. He went to CES's opening press event, CES Unveiled. Caught up with Newzillicast, Alison Sheridan. Let's see what they came up with. CES Unveiled is like a mini CES, right? It's like where they take a bunch of the vendors from the big show floor that no one could possibly walk in a day and they give us a chance to maybe possibly walk them. You've just been walking. How tired are you? Well, I'm tired already because I'm easily tired. It's odd how many of the booths here have people with absolutely nothing explaining what they're standing there about to tell you about. Right, because they want to tell you. Well, but it's like they didn't even bring a sign with the name of the, maybe it's name. Maybe it got caught in the gulf. Yeah, that's probably it. They was the storms that couldn't bring their stuff, but I would say two thirds of the companies, I can't figure out why I would walk up and talk to them. I noticed a lot of haptic hand things, a lot of headsets, a lot of health tech. What did you notice? So I did notice a lot of people talking about things like there was an Android Wear Watch that was all about mental health, which was, that one was a little bit weird, but I got kind of a smattering. I like to go into the weird booths. Can I do a snap decision on each one? So there was a company called Wisp, W-H-I-S-P-P. It's for people who have voice loss. So maybe they've got throat cancer and they can whisper into this app and it comes out sounding like a real voice. And it can be your real voice if you have your real voice already recorded. Right, right, right. So that was fun. Let's see, there was a company called Slim Design which makes a body cam. They started, they make components for like police departments for body cams, but they wanted to make their own inexpensive little wearable body cam. This thing's $69. It's a little tiny camera and it uses the power of your phone mostly. So it's just a Bluetooth. That's the process. Right, right, right. So it can be really tiny and really cheap and has some proprietary way of talking to the phone. That was kind of interesting. Cahey was interesting, K-A-H-E. This was the first electric propeller and motor for a motorboat. So you could hook it up to a motorboat and it would go about an hour on like maybe a four or five person boat, but it can also be converted into a snorkeling device. So it's got handles on it and you could just go snorkeling. So you could ride the motor? You ride the motor for like three hours. It was really cool. I told them to send me one and they're like, oh, we should talk. Think, okay. I was just messing with them, but they said yes. How about an electric ski? These people from, what's the company's name? Where is it? SKW-H-E-E-L, they've got skis, but it's actually like kind of like roller blades. But it's got, so it's got two wheels, wheels in front and back and you're standing on the battery itself and the battery packs just pop out and then you've got a little hand control that you set the speed and you can go 50 miles an hour. Now this guy had a thick accent, a French accent and I said five zero miles per hour. He said yes and that's wrong. I should never be allowed to do that, but then you can go on sand with him, but he was talking about like being able to swish and go back and forth with your knees and really do the angles and everything make it feel like skiing. Wow, so that is like those old hoverboards, but on skis. I guess so. Yeah, yeah, but your center of gravity is below the wheels so it's not like being up on a roller blade. How about Y brush? This was fun. We spend too much time brushing our teeth already. We don't have the two minutes that it takes. This brushes your teeth in 20, 20 seconds, 40 seconds. 20 seconds, 10 seconds on one side, 10 seconds on the other. It's a little Y thing. You stick in your mouth and you chew down on it and then you flip it upside down and it does the other side. That 30,000 little microfibers, something like that. You can buy this today on Amazon. That's a Y brush. So instead of moving around, it makes it efficient by just brushing your teeth. You just chew, you just go like that, yeah, yeah. I don't have that kind of time, Tom. I don't have two minutes. Gotta speed that up. Air Eyewear, A-I-R-I-W-E-A-R, it is a personal air purifier. Puts out seven liters per minute, I think it was, of purified air through UV-protected air. Is it a mask though or just, it's around your neck? So it's two little things. It was not bad. It was not very heavy. I was pretty surprised. And let's see, what was the last one? Oh, the last one. Here we go to come in in the last 20 seconds. Exo Brew, this is a home brewing kit. And it's a pretty big unit. Think of Keurig that's way too big for your counter. And you order the supplies, you can do it on specific things you want, or you can get kits. So they give you recipes and you can mix and match. You can come up with your own recipes and order through them or you can order yourself. For beer. For beer, yeah, you're brewing beer. But you're brewing it, not just putting it out. No, no, no. You're putting the hops in and the yeast and the whole thing. I mean, real beer brewers are gonna hate this, but I like it. Yeah, but no, about people love home brewing, right? And he says it doesn't smell that bad and it doesn't make a big mess. Then how do you know you're brewing? Exactly, if it doesn't smell bad. But that's called Exo Brew. And the guy gave me a peanut butter porter. I've got it in my backpack here, but I haven't tried it yet. I don't have to go by. So that is my five minute assessment of everything. That is perfect. Alison, thank you so much. Now you are going to have interviews with a lot of these people on your own show, right? Yes, that's right. We put them out pretty slowly. We put out like two or three a week. So it's gonna be like October before this poor Exo Brew guy gets his interview up. But this is like a whole season of no silicast teases right here. Yes, this is it. This is it. And we're gonna keep doing them at all the different parts of the show. So it should be fun. Thank you so much, Alison. Always good to be here. Podfeet.com, everything good, starts with podfeet.com, right Tom? Exactly, go to podfeet.com. You'll find Alison and Steve Sheridan, who's operating the camera for me right now. Thank you to him as well. Join the conversation in our Discord, which there's a lot of conversation right now. So you can do that by joining up over at Patreon at patreon.com, four slash DTNS. Oh man, I want that kombucha brewer big time. But let's get into some of the big press announcements from CES today. We're focusing on NVIDIA. All right, so NVIDIA announced its G-sync technology is coming to the cloud with GeForce Now soon, no official date, but soon, which will offer variable refresh rate monitors to match the streaming rate of games from NVIDIA's GeForce Now cloud gaming service. The company first supported 120 frames per second output on its RTX 3080 tier of GeForce Now back in 2021, then offered 240 frames per second on its RTX 4080 servers last year. NVIDIA's reflex technology is behind this and has been expanded to work with 4K titles and 60 to 120 frames per second streaming modes as well. NVIDIA also announced its Supercars, the RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super and RTX 4070 Super GPUs, upgrades over its previous GPUs. RTX 4080 Super will sell for $999 and releases January 31st. The RTX 4070 Ti Super will go for $799 and release in January 24th, and the RTX 4070 Super will sell for $599, releasing January 17th. Getty Images and NVIDIA are partnering together to launch a generative AI by iStock. So if you ever wanted that image, nah, that's what this is going for. iStock is Getty's stock photo service for individuals and small businesses versus Getty's enterprise service for larger users. So kind of pro-sumer or consumer type offerings. Just like AI by Getty Images, generative AI by iStock was trained on Getty's own library using NVIDIA's Picasso model. The service will cost $14.99 for 100 prompts and each prompt will generate four images.
