NO NEW GPUs…

Quick Overview

Nvidia is reportedly delaying the release of new RTX gaming GPUs until 2026 due to ongoing memory chip shortages, forcing the company to focus on shipping existing models, while Apple's Lockdown Mode successfully prevented the FBI from accessing a journalist's iPhone, and the EU is investigating TikTok for its 'addictive design' under the Digital Services Act, potentially leading to a fine of up to 6% of its global turnover.

Key Points: Nvidia's next-generation RTX 70-series gaming GPUs (potentially the RTX 7000 series) may be delayed until 2026 because of supply constraints, specifically with VRM memory chips. Due to the supply constraints, Nvidia is prioritizing the shipment of existing GPU models and reportedly slashing production of some current GPUs by around 20% to stretch available memory. Apple's Lockdown Mode prevented the FBI from accessing a journalist's iPhone 13, as the feature blocked data access via device management tools and required a PIN instead of biometric unlock (Face ID). The European Commission preliminarily found that TikTok's design, featuring infinite scroll and autoplay, breaches the EU's Digital Services Act, potentially resulting in a fine of up to 6% of global turnover. The Internet Archive released a WordPress plugin for its Wayback Machine that automatically checks for dead links and redirects them to archived versions, aiming to fix the internet's 'link rot' problem. The lawsuit against social media giants like Meta, TikTok, Snap, and YouTube claiming personal injury due to addictive products is moving forward, testing a new legal strategy. War Thunder is advertised as the most comprehensive vehicle combat game, featuring over 2,500 vehicles including tanks, planes, and helicopters.

Context: The video covers several disparate technology news items presented by Riley Murdock. The initial segment discusses a report that Nvidia is slowing down the release schedule for its next-generation GPUs due to component shortages, while another segment highlights a successful test of Apple's extreme security feature, Lockdown Mode, against law enforcement access. Finally, regulatory actions against TikTok and new web tools from the Internet Archive are covered, illustrating ongoing tensions between technology companies, users, and regulators.
