00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.720
mmm tech news it's really such a great

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.840
protein rich snack but please really don't eat the moisture absorbing packet

00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:13.679
inside the bag apple released iOS 14.5 last week

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:17.279
complete with a new app tracking transparency feature which forges iphone

00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:21.439
apps to ask permission before collecting user data for ad personalization well

00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:26.320
facebook obviously hasn't been a big fan of it so they might start showing pop-up

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:29.599
education screens that educate the user on the benefits of personalized ad

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:33.280
tracking thank you thanks facebook you see idiot end user

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.719
allowing tracking will help keep facebook free of charge and support

00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:40.800
businesses that rely on ads to reach their customers the notice may also pop

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:45.200
up on instagram which is who knew owned by facebook

00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:48.320
it's no secret that ad tracking is a big source of revenue for facebook and other

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:53.039
social media platforms but the implication is that facebook may charge

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:56.559
you money in the future wait facebook are you are you threatening me do you

00:00:54.800 --> 00:01:00.079
know who i am of course you do because you know the

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:04.720
intimate details of everyone's life then you know what i'm capable of which is

00:01:02.559 --> 00:01:09.439
not paying for facebook damn it very capable of not doing that so capable

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:14.159
researchers have found new variations of the infamous specter bug which affects

00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:17.439
nearly every Intel and AMD CPU out there it continues to haunt us like some kind

00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:20.960
of some kind of ghost

00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:26.479
exactly patches for existing spectre-related vulnerabilities do

00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:29.920
nothing to protect processors against these new flaws but there's good news

00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:33.360
these flaws are extremely hard to exploit requiring an attacker to

00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:36.960
directly target your machine and get through every other layer of security

00:01:35.119 --> 00:01:40.640
first so we may not see any fixes for current cpus especially as the patches

00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:44.880
would reduce performance even more so than the first round of spectre bugs

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:48.799
man this specter is even more relentless than the one from james bond that's not

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:53.360
a different metaphor it's not the same thing it's not a ghost i wouldn't go so

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:57.040
far as to call foldable phones all the rage i mean do you know anyone that

00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:01.119
actually has one no no what do you mean Linus yeah yeah he doesn't actually use

00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:04.560
it because it's kind of crap but that isn't stopping apple from dipping its

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:08.879
toes into the folding water as a report from longtime

00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:13.440
apple analyst ming chi kuo indicates that cupertino wants to sell up to 20

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:18.000
million samsung OLED based foldable iphones in 2023 that's still a little

00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:20.959
ways off but several notable chinese phone manufacturers are expected to

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:24.239
start selling foldable models within the next year and may end up shipping a

00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:28.080
total number of units close to what apple is looking at selling just two

00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:31.599
years from now but just watch these folding iphones are gonna be way cooler

00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:36.879
than air tags they're gonna have a room for a loop in it are they gonna be air

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:40.239

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:09.040
quackity bats are the little crumbs you find on your coffee table from when you

00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:14.319
ate a cinnamon bun the night before and they're still tasty they're like a little hardened

00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:17.760
the apple versus epic trial started on a decidedly unepic note when the phone

00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:21.680
line that allowed observance to listen in on the proceedings was left unmuted

00:03:20.239 --> 00:03:25.360
really somebody's getting fired gamers quickly

00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:30.080
started chiming in asking for fortnite mobile back are you is this a joke no oh

00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:32.879
geez and using plenty of foul language the court did eventually get things

00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:38.480
under control but they think they should have left it the gamers probably had some good points to make about all of

00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:41.200
this people on the ground yeah yeah cause that's what lawsuits are

00:03:40.239 --> 00:03:46.159
about the end users verizon is selling yahoo

00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:51.280
and aol to an investment firm for five billion dollars

00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:54.640
wait aol is still around and worth money what

00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:58.480
turns out it is as aol was actually the parent of engadget techcrunch and a few

00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:01.920
other well-known sites yahoo of course still offers email a web portal and

00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:05.040
sports coverage amongst other things this would all sound pretty routine if

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:09.360
verizon hadn't bought the two legacy internet companies for nine billion in

00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:12.640
2015. they didn't get the memo about the

00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:16.959
dotcom bubble bursting i guess back in the 90s i i'm not very good at

00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:21.440
math but i'm thinking those numbers don't line up

00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:23.360
they were taking a gamestop bet ah

00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:26.400
Intel has big plans for its fabs in the us as team blue has announced he'll be

00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:31.120
spending three and a half billion dollars you know this just

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:35.440
so much math to be upgrading its fab in new mexico creating 700 jobs the

00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:38.800
refurbished plant will be using foveros a method that allows 3d stacking of

00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:43.440
chips that Intel expects will make its manufacturing more versatile and more

00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:47.759
competitive with the likes of tsmc maybe it'll be fueled by uh green chilies

00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:51.120
that's what we've been missing yeah just squeeze it on there i'm more of a red

00:04:49.840 --> 00:04:56.400
chili kind of guy if you're a playstation gamer that's been hoping for a better chat form you're in luck as

00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:59.919
discord is looking to be coming to psn early next year unfortunately we don't

00:04:58.320 --> 00:05:03.360
know if it'll be akin to the full fat version for desktop or if it'll be

00:05:01.520 --> 00:05:06.800
scaled down somewhat but it'll be nice to have an option that appears to be

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:12.080
more cross-platform rather than relying on relatively discordant services that

00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:15.120
isn't owned by microsoft not yet

00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:19.120
it might still happen and fingers crossed random products you

00:05:17.280 --> 00:05:23.120
buy off amazon might be getting a little safer a court in california has ruled

00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.560
amazon bears responsibility for the safety of the products it sells even if

00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:29.280
those products aren't amazon branded there are obviously lots of shady

00:05:27.919 --> 00:05:32.479
products on amazon marketplace from third parties so hopefully now that

00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:36.800
automatic knife block you've got your eyes on won't kill you like last time

00:05:34.880 --> 00:05:40.400
until amazon kills you that's our show come back wednesday for more tech news

00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:44.800
that never needs sharpening and won't kill you bonus not like those other

00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:48.240
shows yeah we also we can't we can't certify that you might die
