00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:07.680
21st floor menswear oops i mean tech news apple is in hot

00:00:06.399 --> 00:00:11.679
water again and this time it's actually over real water italian

00:00:10.559 --> 00:00:16.000
regulators have imposed a fine of 10 million euros or about 12

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:20.240
million us dollars on the company over the iphone's water resistance or

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:24.560
lack thereof the regulatory agency said that apple made misleading claims about

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:27.680
multiple iphone models going all the way back to the iphone 8.

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

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

00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:40.320
controlled lab tests and that real world test water resistance wasn't

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:44.160
nearly as impressive apple was also hit because the company

00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:48.640
refused to honor warranties when the iphone sustained water damage

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:52.960
which would be an obvious problem if someone were relying on the

00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:56.640
misleading ads so maybe don't take your expensive toys

00:00:54.559 --> 00:00:59.760
into the swimming pool in the name of science

00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:03.039
google is no strangers to accusation of anti-competitive practices given their

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:06.960
dominant position in the market but a new round of lawsuits that the u.s

00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:12.000
department of justice is reportedly preparing not only targets google again but also

00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:15.920
drags facebook into the fray this would be the first time

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:19.360
that facebook has faced off with the us federal government in the

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:22.720
antitrust arena though of course the company has already sparred with

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:26.000
lawmakers over issues ranging from moderating misleading information to

00:01:24.479 --> 00:01:30.400
suppression of certain types of political speech at issue here though appears to be

00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:34.079
whether facebook's acquisition of whatsapp instagram and other properties broke

00:01:32.960 --> 00:01:38.000
antitrust laws and suppressed competition hmm maybe we

00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:41.040
should start our own image sharing platform but just for glam shots of

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:46.560
cable management and RGB although in-person black friday

00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:50.560
madness was tempered this year at brick and mortar retailers due to the

00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:54.479
pandemic that did not stop americans from busting out their credit cards and

00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:58.640
shopping online in record numbers around 9 billion dollars were spent

00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:03.200
online on friday on american retail sites smashing last year's record of just shy

00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:07.119
of seven and a half billion part of this was by design as retailers

00:02:05.119 --> 00:02:10.959
themselves discouraged in-person turnout by limiting doorbuster deals

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:15.680
or skipping them entirely in fact physical traffic at stores was down

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:19.200
over half compared to last year of course today is cyber monday and it's

00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:25.040
expected that we'll see more records today with adobe projecting sales well into the 10

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:30.400
figures or as jeff bezos calls it lunch money just kidding it's

00:02:28.239 --> 00:02:33.200
car money at least today's quick bits are brought to you by private internet

00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:39.920
access vpn which helps you mask your true ip address and encrypt your traffic

00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:40.480
pia offers over 19 000 servers in 76

00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:45.280
countries and no bandwidth caps it has configurable encryption levels and a

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

00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:54.239
think you're in a different country altogether shackadelic you can

00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:56.319
connect up to five devices at once whether they be Windows mac Android iOS

00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:02.800
or Linux and pia's merch feature blocks malware and tracking

00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:07.599

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:09.200
guarantees quick bits day yes

00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:13.599
useless meetings are a hallmark of workplace life especially here at LMG

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

00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:22.080
are with sensors that detect facial expressions body language

00:03:20.239 --> 00:03:26.000
room temperatures and other goings-on to assign a meeting a productivity score

00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:28.400
it's unclear if this tech will actually hit the market but bosses could always

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:34.080
just ask their half asleep employees how much attention they're paying speaking of

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.959
bosses hundreds of c-level executives at various companies

00:03:34.959 --> 00:03:40.879
have gotten hit with a data breach as russian-speaking hackers are selling

00:03:38.720 --> 00:03:45.440
microsoft-based account credentials for between

00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:47.519
100 and 1500 bucks it's unclear whether

00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:52.159
this is part of an extortion attempt but remember the love of god

00:03:49.440 --> 00:03:53.920
use two-factor authentication it's not hard

00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:57.760
how do you do the clapping thing in real life use two factor

00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:01.840
fcc chairman ajit pai has announced he will be quitting on january 20th

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:05.200
which is when joe biden will take over as u.s president

00:04:03.040 --> 00:04:08.000
pai's legacy of deregulation of the tech and telecom industries gained him

00:04:06.720 --> 00:04:11.519
support in some circles but criticism in others like the

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:14.000
internet as this widely reported decision to weaken net neutrality

00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:18.959
regulations set off concerns about what the internet could be like in the future

00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:22.639
as for me i'm hoping the next chairperson won't explain communication

00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:26.639
policy with videos that go viral for all the wrong reasons i hope

00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:29.360
politics just gets boring google has made huge progress in the world of

00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:33.120
protein folding of all things as this ai powered program

00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:36.560
called alpha fold appears to have shortened the time to

00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:41.600
work out the structure of a protein given certain amino acid sequences

00:04:38.479 --> 00:04:42.479
in a few days instead of years of lab

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:47.440
experiments this is a problem that scientists have been trying to solve for at least

00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:49.600
half a century and could have big implications for drug and disease

00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:55.280
research although the system won't completely replace current methods it should be a

00:04:52.880 --> 00:04:58.479
huge boon for the biosciences industry if only you could tell me how to fold a

00:04:56.960 --> 00:05:02.720
fitted sheet i seriously youtubed it and i i still

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

00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:09.520
the sports world as english premier league side manchester united

00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:13.600
suffered an incursion that's been widely speculated to be a ransomware attack

00:05:11.919 --> 00:05:17.360
although club officials wouldn't confirm this the attack doesn't appear to have

00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:20.479
affected match day operation for fans personal information

00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:23.120
though there is concern some of the club's scouting information may have

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

00:05:26.320 --> 00:05:31.280
bad united's defense has been this season haha

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

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
