00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:07,680
21st floor menswear oops i mean tech news apple is in hot

2
00:00:06,399 --> 00:00:11,679
water again and this time it's actually over real water italian

3
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:16,000
regulators have imposed a fine of 10 million euros or about 12

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:20,240
million us dollars on the company over the iphone's water resistance or

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:24,560
lack thereof the regulatory agency said that apple made misleading claims about

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:27,680
multiple iphone models going all the way back to the iphone 8.

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:31,119
it turns out that the water resistance claims apple was making in its advertising saying that the phone would

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:36,640
resist water up to 4 meters deep for as long as 30 minutes were based on tightly

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:40,320
controlled lab tests and that real world test water resistance wasn't

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:44,160
nearly as impressive apple was also hit because the company

11
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:48,640
refused to honor warranties when the iphone sustained water damage

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:52,960
which would be an obvious problem if someone were relying on the

13
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:56,640
misleading ads so maybe don't take your expensive toys

14
00:00:54,559 --> 00:00:59,760
into the swimming pool in the name of science

15
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:03,039
google is no strangers to accusation of anti-competitive practices given their

16
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,960
dominant position in the market but a new round of lawsuits that the u.s

17
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:12,000
department of justice is reportedly preparing not only targets google again but also

18
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,920
drags facebook into the fray this would be the first time

19
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:19,360
that facebook has faced off with the us federal government in the

20
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:22,720
antitrust arena though of course the company has already sparred with

21
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:26,000
lawmakers over issues ranging from moderating misleading information to

22
00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:30,400
suppression of certain types of political speech at issue here though appears to be

23
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:34,079
whether facebook's acquisition of whatsapp instagram and other properties broke

24
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:38,000
antitrust laws and suppressed competition hmm maybe we

25
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,040
should start our own image sharing platform but just for glam shots of

26
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:46,560
cable management and RGB although in-person black friday

27
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:50,560
madness was tempered this year at brick and mortar retailers due to the

28
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:54,479
pandemic that did not stop americans from busting out their credit cards and

29
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:58,640
shopping online in record numbers around 9 billion dollars were spent

30
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:03,200
online on friday on american retail sites smashing last year's record of just shy

31
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:07,119
of seven and a half billion part of this was by design as retailers

32
00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:10,959
themselves discouraged in-person turnout by limiting doorbuster deals

33
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:15,680
or skipping them entirely in fact physical traffic at stores was down

34
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:19,200
over half compared to last year of course today is cyber monday and it's

35
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:25,040
expected that we'll see more records today with adobe projecting sales well into the 10

36
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:30,400
figures or as jeff bezos calls it lunch money just kidding it's

37
00:02:28,239 --> 00:02:33,200
car money at least today's quick bits are brought to you by private internet

38
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:39,920
access vpn which helps you mask your true ip address and encrypt your traffic

39
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,480
pia offers over 19 000 servers in 76

40
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:45,280
countries and no bandwidth caps it has configurable encryption levels and a

41
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:50,000
kill switch to keep you in control and when combined with private browsing it can make websites

42
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:54,239
think you're in a different country altogether shackadelic you can

43
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,319
connect up to five devices at once whether they be Windows mac Android iOS

44
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:02,800
or Linux and pia's merch feature blocks malware and tracking

45
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:07,599
domains try it at the link below with a 30 day money back

46
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,200
guarantees quick bits day yes

47
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:13,599
useless meetings are a hallmark of workplace life especially here at LMG

48
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:18,800
and a new patent from microsoft reveals the company is looking at telling us exactly how useless they

49
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,080
are with sensors that detect facial expressions body language

50
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:26,000
room temperatures and other goings-on to assign a meeting a productivity score

51
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,400
it's unclear if this tech will actually hit the market but bosses could always

52
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:34,080
just ask their half asleep employees how much attention they're paying speaking of

53
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,959
bosses hundreds of c-level executives at various companies

54
00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:40,879
have gotten hit with a data breach as russian-speaking hackers are selling

55
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:45,440
microsoft-based account credentials for between

56
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:47,519
100 and 1500 bucks it's unclear whether

57
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:52,159
this is part of an extortion attempt but remember the love of god

58
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,920
use two-factor authentication it's not hard

59
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,760
how do you do the clapping thing in real life use two factor

60
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:01,840
fcc chairman ajit pai has announced he will be quitting on january 20th

61
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,200
which is when joe biden will take over as u.s president

62
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:08,000
pai's legacy of deregulation of the tech and telecom industries gained him

63
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,519
support in some circles but criticism in others like the

64
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,000
internet as this widely reported decision to weaken net neutrality

65
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:18,959
regulations set off concerns about what the internet could be like in the future

66
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:22,639
as for me i'm hoping the next chairperson won't explain communication

67
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:26,639
policy with videos that go viral for all the wrong reasons i hope

68
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:29,360
politics just gets boring google has made huge progress in the world of

69
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,120
protein folding of all things as this ai powered program

70
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:36,560
called alpha fold appears to have shortened the time to

71
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:41,600
work out the structure of a protein given certain amino acid sequences

72
00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:42,479
in a few days instead of years of lab

73
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:47,440
experiments this is a problem that scientists have been trying to solve for at least

74
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:49,600
half a century and could have big implications for drug and disease

75
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:55,280
research although the system won't completely replace current methods it should be a

76
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:58,479
huge boon for the biosciences industry if only you could tell me how to fold a

77
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:02,720
fitted sheet i seriously youtubed it and i i still

78
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:06,000
can't do it i couldn't even follow along and there's been a major cyber attack in

79
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,520
the sports world as english premier league side manchester united

80
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:13,600
suffered an incursion that's been widely speculated to be a ransomware attack

81
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:17,360
although club officials wouldn't confirm this the attack doesn't appear to have

82
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:20,479
affected match day operation for fans personal information

83
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,120
though there is concern some of the club's scouting information may have

84
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:27,840
been exposed i guess something like this is par for the course though when you consider how

85
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,280
bad united's defense has been this season haha

86
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,560
sports jokes it's two in there that's it for today come back on wednesday for

87
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:39,440
more tech news that'll play hard for the first 90 minutes or actually more like five or six
