as we wrap into another san francisco trip cross country we've got a couple of news items and disclaimers to go through for this week prior to all the expected major coverage later in the week the news this week we've got the clouds lead exploit kind of interesting there's a new deal itting kit that is for the cable aiken skylake processors at Mass Effect system requirements and then of course risin we can't go five minutes without talking about right now so I have a quick thing to say on that Verizon in our original coverage of the CPU what Andy permitted us to publish on day one which i believe it's every twenty second that coverage included a disclaimer saying hey don't pre-order this and the reason we said that is because generally as a rule GN the site does not recommend pre-ordering anything hardware software gains or otherwise and that holds true with risin it is hardware when a company posts the prices the specs and opens pre-ordering but does not allow in this case because we didn't have enough time or even have the unit yet does not allow reviews to go live that is for only one reason and that's the drive preorder sales so just the only reason I'm mentioning this again is because the hype trains been out of control lately I've seen non-stop trizein this rising that rising does amazing things right as a miracle worker risin is terrible horizon doesn't have support for whatever it goes both ways and it's nonstop so just to kind of bring everyone back down to earth don't pre-order will it would be very reasonable for you to assume based on historical context that we would have a review in time for launch that would not be an unreasonable thing to assume if you look at our history posting other CPL GP reviews on or around launch day wait for our review as always so that stated and you just make sure it does what you need in the review there's different aspects of the processor and then decide so let's move on from right in front we just published an article today about a new security vulnerability called cloud bleed that was it in by Eric Hamilton on the website if you curious for the full details but the basics of it clouds lead stems from a service provider called cloudflare they are effectively a middle service they sit between the clients and the server when you're accessing websites that act basically as a front motor we use similar front loading services not cloud player but we do use the front loading service for our site it's a very common thing to do and normally when you access one of these types of services as a user you never really notice the only reason that something like this sits there well there's a few reasons but the main one is for security so to use erics quote from the article it is acutely ironic that cloud player using a service to provide security has a security vulnerability that is a massive because of the way their service works and also those things like page caching a house with flight speed but mostly it's for ddos protection and cloud-based security which what that means is that in theory when a website is compromised or has an exploit or an injection attack or something like that in theory a cloud-based firewall is supposed to help protect all of the other websites under that umbrella clouds lead is a vulnerability we're in a cloud flares HTML parser could lead to a buffer overrun where data was stored on uninitialised memory causing memory corruption with the right or the wrong circumstances that user data could be injected into the webpage the source code that is and then later cached by search engines which is obviously a massive issue cloud player says this was first discovered in September of 2016 but the biggest point of vulnerability was heavily 13th to 18th just recently the company doesn't think that any user data was exposed in a way which could threaten their privacy passwords things like that but just from our own perspective we're recommending that you change passwords because of course they're going to say they don't think that anything is is in trouble there at least not until some B's proven so change your passwords basically there are a lot of websites that use cloud player there are I believe 150 or more that were implicated in this a vulnerability and they have not released and probably will not release the full list because of a lot of reasons but you can check the article gamers x2 thought net or hit the link in the description below for some of the sites that were affected now just a quick primer change.org pretty big site was affected and even discord was affected by this so with all the risin is going on we've almost forgotten about kb lake but there is a new d letting kit for it we still have plans eventually to do we have a rocket kit for deal it in the 7700 k eventually hopefully just after rising but the nuke it is from aquacomputer and it is called dr. deal it d lids the sky lake and kb lake processors if you have either one of those and the kid is pretty straightforward it separates the IHS and the substrate by just rotational force so you socket the cpu into the d litter and spin it and in theory it should just stop very very cleanly and easily without any screws or or anything like that no razor blades as you may have seen in other videos the replicate the only thing that's really kind of interesting that i wanted to point out is that it's got a simple clamp just a vice grip basically that holds the cpu in its socket for when you're reapplying an adhesive to hold IHS to a substrate so it'll stick on there and you can walk away from it while it cures but that should retail for about thirty dollars that is dr. D lid we haven't actually looked at it in person or anything but wanted to point it out to say these things seem to be becoming more popular now with kb lake and how much temperature headroom you can get from d letting the processors in gaming news that pertains to hardware Mass Effect Andromeda now has its system requirements and recommended specs revealed and that's officially this time so by where is recommending for the CPU a 4790 i7 CPU or an 8350 FX CPU for the processor and then for the GPU they're suggesting a GTX 1063 gigabyte or our X 480 4 gigabytes video card with memory suggested as in the recommended specs at 16 gigabytes that's kind of interesting in a bit different but the rest of it's not so bad really requirement we're looking at windows seven for the baseline OS so when seven is supported the the API is direct x 11 it's not obvious from windows 7 support and then the cpu baseline requirement hard requirement 35 70 or 60 to 50 from the FX line or better what's the GPU being a gtx 660 or HD 7850 two gigabyte card were better 7850 by the way was our first ever official test bench video card anta and hasn't aged so well in monitor news and manufacture a hace just announced new curved 16 by 9 displays both with an 1800 are curvature both panels are VA type 1 at 27 inches the other at 31 dot 5 with 1080p and 1440p resolutions respectively refresh rates on these panels are also matched each at 144 hurts with a 4 millisecond great great response and adaptive sync capabilities though neither is certified for free sync right now it is theoretically possible that they could be and AOS he also has five more displays that should be launching in the u.s. shortly we have those details in the news article on the website if you're curious about them availability for the curved displays is slated for Europe and may in the u.s. currently has no availability or price listed so that's it for the news roundup this is a big week for us we have we have another events that when this goes live I'll probably be on the way too so we have another event in San Francisco and then we have some other major coverage because there are a couple different launches this week so stay tuned to the channel subscribe for more patreon.com / gamers and access as always thank you for watching I'll see you all next time feel like the table without an angle
