00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,920
Tech News. It's the story of us and our

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:11,599
eventual replacement by sentient vacuums. It sucks. They deserve it. They work hard.

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:16,160
Microsoft was found guilty in 2001 for artificially boosting Internet Explorer

4
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:20,960
using its Monopoly power. But now, 20 years later, the company is trying the

5
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:24,880
same thing with Edge. The latest build of Windows 11 breaks the functionality

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:29,519
of a widely used tool called Edge Deflector, used to mitigate Microsoft's

7
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:34,160
annoying practice of making every web link in a built-in Windows feature open

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:38,879
in Edge, even if your default browser is set to something else. Thankfully,

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:43,280
developer Robert Mail has created a new tool called MS Edge Redirect that works

10
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:48,160
around Microsoft's workaround that broke the first workaround. Counter counter measures

11
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:53,840
so users can stay one step ahead of Microsoft's desperate attempts to

12
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,600
please, please use Edge. We we even made

13
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,480
it Chrome. It's just Chrome now. Just use it, please. I guess they're not

14
00:00:57,199 --> 00:01:03,440
worried about antitrust because that lawsuit was about Internet Explorer. This is Edge. It's completely non-over

15
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:07,920
overlapping. Stop edging us. I'm getting edged.

16
00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:12,640
Gamers were excited yesterday when Rockstar launched the highly anticipated

17
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:17,040
Grand Theft Auto Trilogy Definitive Edition, only to have their excitement

18
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:21,200
turned to horror as the PC version suffered from graphical glitches, major

19
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,000
issues with the Rockstar Launcher app, and annoying online check-in

20
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:28,720
requirements that made the game unplayable when the servers went offline.

21
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:33,119
That's video games, baby. These are these are from like the PS1.

22
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:37,759
Got to check in. We got to know where you how are you doing? Do you like the

23
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:42,320
game? Rockstar has now pulled the game from sale on PC until they can fix the

24
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,920
multiple problems. Although the trilogy is still available on consoles.

25
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:48,960
Apparently Rockstar has a history of screwing up the launch of remastered

26
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:52,479
versions of its games. So, you'd think they'd take the time to iron things out

27
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,759
for this one. But maybe the launch itself is the same kind of

28
00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:00,320
tongue-in-cheek commentary on how much game launches suck sometimes. Be very on

29
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:03,920
brand. No, no, no, no, no. I punched a sex worker in game to make a statement.

30
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:09,039
You don't get it. And didn't pick up her cash.

31
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:13,920
So, points. And following intense community backlash, Discord CEO Jason

32
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:18,640
Citroen sounds delicious. Lemony has done the old walkback after

33
00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:23,760
indicating his company was getting on board the NFT train. Oh no. It all

34
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,040
started earlier this week when Citroen replied to a tweet from a crypto

35
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:31,200
investor with an image of a Discord build featuring integration with a

36
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:36,000
couple crypto wallet apps. Then the Discord community exploded, threatening

37
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:41,200
to cancel Nitro subscriptions to avoid encouraging pyramid schemes that destroy

38
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,200
the environment. Do they mean Ponzi schemes?

39
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:48,720
That's different, actually. You got to get your schemes right. That's a different scheme.

40
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:50,239
I know. Go check out Investipedia. A

41
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:54,080
couple days later, Citroen tweeted that his original image showed an internal

42
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,560
concept that Discord has no plans to ship. And for now, they're focused on

43
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:03,840
protecting users from spam, scams, and fraud. The holy trinity, the evil. So,

44
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:07,120
Discord users don't have to worry. I mean, if Discord does ship an NFT

45
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:11,920
version, you can just rightclick it. That takes away its power from what I hear. Now, it's time for Riley number

46
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:16,319
two. Now, it's time for Quickbits brought to you by Made in Professional

47

00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:23,920
cooking attempts. Literally supposed to grab the handle, not the But Maiden

15% off your first order. Chef,

56
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:59,200
I know you can do it. Billions of years ago, quick bits emerge from the

57
00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:03,840
primordial soup. Speaking of superfluous pixels, Google accidentally pushed a

58
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:08,879
nearly 2 GB update to Pixel phones running Android 12 this week. That was

59
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:12,560
completely unnecessary because the update was the Android 12 build they

60
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:17,280
were already running. Hold on to your Ryzen CPUs because a new cryptocurrency

61
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:23,040
called Raptorium can be mined most effectively on CPUs with large L3 caches

62
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:26,400
like AMD's Ryzen, Threadripper, and Epic processors. As if there weren't

63
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:31,040
enough things keeping tech products out of consumers hands, now we may be looking at a new wave of scalpers

64
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:33,840
targeting Team Red. Because you just told me to go and buy it.

65
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:38,639
Oh no, no, you're part of the problem. Whoopsies.

66
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:42,560
Apparently, mining difficulty for the coin is going up with earnings going

67
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:48,560
down. So, hopefully these raptors get thrown off the fence soon. Or

68
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:53,199
no, Microsoft has added some nice quality of

69
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:58,479
life updates to the Xbox PC app, which now supports custom install locations

70
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:00,160
for games, faster downloads, those are

71
00:04:58,479 --> 00:05:04,320
the special ones, and support for game mods just like Steam. Unfortunately, the

72
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,400
whole app only opens as a tab in Microsoft Edge, so there's still some

73
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:14,960
work to do. Stop edging us. And the world's first iPhone with a USBC

74
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:17,280
port has been sold on eBay for $86,000.

75
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:22,160
The device is a custom modded iPhone 10 built by robotics engineering student

76
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,520
Ken Pelonal, who warned potential buyers

77
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:28,000
that they shouldn't try to use the phone as an actual phone because doing

78
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:32,479
basically anything with it uh might break it. This phone has one life to live. Once

79
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:35,759
it's dead, it's dead. And it's worth86,000.

80
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:39,919
I think that's worth a middle class salary. Phone that doesn't work.

81
00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:44,800
Continuing this video is not worth it, though. So, come back on Monday for more

82
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:47,440
tech news delivered either by me or a

83
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:52,680
sentient vacuum. I'm We're working on getting them in. The shipment is

84
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,680
This sucks.
