How did AMD forget this!?

The video opens with a lighthearted intro about upcoming mid-range GPUs, specifically the GTX 1660 Ti, showing leaked images of boxes from GALAX, Palit, and EVGA and noting that all variants include six gigabytes of GDDR6 memory and touring shaders. The host questions the naming strategy of the 16 series and emphasizes that these cards will not feature ray tracing, positioning them as more accessible options for gamers who don’t need cutting-edge features. The segment quickly pivots to other tech headlines from Mobile World Congress, including teasers for Microsoft’s Hololens 2 and Samsung's folding phone, with remarks about potential carbon fiber construction and the anticipation of live demonstrations rather than vague previews. The host then highlights Google Maps’ augmented reality walking directions, explaining how the Visual Positioning System helps determine precise location and orientation, while joking about unnecessary phone usage and suggesting a playful Pokemon Go collaboration concept. A quick marketing break promotes Squarespace, then the video returns to hardware news with AMD’s Radeon VII lacking UEFI support, which would disable Secure Boot on Windows 10 and generate confusion for users relying on modern boot standards. The middle portion of the episode recaps a few more lighter tech byte bits, such as Xiaomi’s patent for a curved edge phone display dubbed curves on all sides, and it closes with a rapid roundup of other tech stories about gaming compliance, AR features, and space exploration ventures. The host connects the threads by reflecting on how missteps or missing features in new hardware can ripple into user experience and security, reminding viewers to stay critical of glossed-over specifications. Throughout, there are irreverent jokes about pop culture, memes, and fan-made jokes that keep the tone entertaining while still conveying concrete takeaways about product readiness and feature availability. The video ends with a light tease about viewer engagement and a playful nudge to subscribe, matching the rapid-fire, nerdy style of TechLinked’s coverage of consumer technology news.
