TechLinked's episode covers a rapid-fire set of technology and gaming headlines anchored by the Xbox Series X and Series S preorder chaos. The hosts note that preorders initially seemed smooth but quickly devolved into server outages and a confusing naming scheme from Microsoft, which led some fans to accidentally order Xbox One X units instead of the new consoles. They explain that Microsoft is reserving stock for the actual launch on November 10, while fans who missed day-one preorders can still look forward to future stock and the option to use Xbox remote play on Android as a workaround before the cloud gaming service xCloud arrives on iOS. In addition to the Xbox chatter, the episode touches on Ignite announcements like holographic storage ambitions and a disease tracking concept, the OpenAI GPT-3 licensing deal, and a string of hardware rumors including Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G specs. The quick bits segment promotes Brilliant.org for learning, highlighting interactive math and logic courses, followed by quick takes on Tesla battery day, Dreamhaven’s formation by ex-Blizzard staff, Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Fan Edition, and Google Maps updates for COVID-19 data. The hosts wrap with a nod to Sony’s Xperia Play and a light note that Sony should consider mobile gaming alternatives, before signing off with a tease for the next episode.
