back to article Our vulture survived Computex – now he just needs to tell us the highs and lows

Well, that was Computex 2024. A week of Nvidia, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, and others talking up the hardware and software they intend to roll out to the world over the next year or so.

    Transcript?

    Oh, please, videos don't sync to my work pattern. Please, please provide an old-fashioned transcript!

      On a desktop, if you click through to YouTube and expand the description then there's an option to see the transcript but with four people talking it's not ideal as the name isn't shown.

    Cool program! In its international incantation, it could be cool to have a clock displaying local time in each of the individual video feeds (for that worldwide time-zoned feeling, especially with Taiwan halfway across the globe and all). Inquiring minds also probably want to know what that blue-ball-handbag contraption was in Tobias' background, and what sort of red-fluorescent-protein cocktail it was that gave Chris his sudden penchant for crocodiles (something isolated from jellyfish, like GFP? Or maybe one of Simon's street-walking whole alien-flattened face-hugger deep-fried squids? Prawns -- pronounced prôn?)! Inquiring minds ...
