In this TechLinked episode, the focus starts with the AMD Radeon RX 6800 and 6800 XT, highlighting their competitive gaming performance against Nvidia’s RTX 3070 and 3080 at 1080p, while noting that ray tracing and higher resolutions still favor Nvidia due to its mature ray tracing cores and DLSS. The discussion emphasizes that the RX 6800 XT is priced around $50 cheaper than the RTX 3080, but stock shortages similar to other launches complicate the buying experience, leaving many consumers waiting and scalpers attempting to cash in on limited supply. The hosts also touch on Apple’s M1 Max reviews, praising power efficiency and quiet operation on many devices, but flagging concerns about software ecosystem support and growing pains as developers update apps for Apple silicon. Throughout the episode, a running thread considers software and service shifts, including Google Pay’s relaunch, Capcom’s data breach revelations, and Apple’s 15 percent App Store cut for small developers, all framed within the broader context of how big tech companies ship products, manage pricing, and contend with public scrutiny. The show closes with a satirical look at current trends like Capcom’s stolen source code, the Capstone battery throttling settlement with Apple, Oppo’s rollable phone prototype, and social media platform shifts such as Twitter Fleets and Instagram shopping, tying together how hardware, software, and policy moves ripple through the consumer tech landscape.

Questions answered
- What is the main performance comparison between the RX 6800/6800 XT and Nvidia's RTX 3070/3080 according to the episode?
- The RX 6800 and 6800 XT are competitive with the RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 at 1080p, but Nvidia maintains an edge in ray tracing and higher resolutions due to its stronger ray tracing cores and DLSS.
- Why is stock a recurring theme in this video?
- Stock shortages are persistent across new GPU launches, making it difficult for consumers to purchase cards from either AMD or Nvidia and prompting discussions about scalpers and supply chain constraints.
- What change did Apple announce regarding App Store fees, and why is it controversial?
- Apple announced a reduction of App Store fees to 15 percent for developers making under $1 million, which is controversial because critics call it symbolic and say it does not address broader issues raised by Epic Games and others about App Store practices.
