00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:08.800
ugh mondays am i right don't talk to me until i've had my tech news friday

00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:12.800
twitter had a terrible horrible no-good very bad day on wednesday as the site

00:00:10.719 --> 00:00:16.800
was hit with one of the worst hacks ever seen on social media 130 verified

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:21.359
twitter accounts were targeted with the hackers gaining control over a subset of

00:00:19.119 --> 00:00:26.080
that number tweeters saw the accounts of elon musk barack obama jeff bezos and

00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:30.240
more tweeting out offers to double the amount of bitcoin sent to their crypto

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:33.440
wallets that honestly doesn't sound that out of character for elon so

00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:37.760
understandably the hackers were able to make off with over a hundred thousand

00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:41.360
dollars but the bitcoin scam isn't the only news to come out of the attack

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:45.600
screenshots of twitter's admin tools were leaked showing buttons that can

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:49.200
blacklist accounts and trends giving some credence to those who claim they've

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:53.680
been shadow banned on the platform the fbi is now investigating the attack and

00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:58.719
reuters reports that hours before the attack began posts on the gray market

00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:03.680
site og users offered to provide the email address associated with a twitter

00:01:00.879 --> 00:01:07.680
account for 250 bucks that info combined with the fact that

00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:11.840
the hackers could have done way more damage with complete access to twitter's

00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:16.640
admin tools than steal a bit of crypto paint a picture of an unsophisticated

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:20.400
hacking group that just fortuitously managed to trick some unlucky twitter

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.759
employees and thanks to bitcoin's logging system investigators are

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:27.360
actually tracking movement of the hacked funds right now although i'm not sure

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:31.439
someone who actually thought jeff bezos was gonna give you free bitcoin deserves

00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:35.920
to get their money back wait he's not give me the money give me the cash

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:39.439
you know what movie that's from no usual suspects

00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:43.200
carpool critics podcast rumors have been flying this week that

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:47.680
NVIDIA's future graphics cards will feature a new 12-pin power connector the

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:53.119
original info came from chinese language site fc powerup where spec drawings for

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:55.759
the connector were posted

00:01:53.119 --> 00:01:58.960
they were igor's lab added fuel to the fire with users speculating that the

00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:04.640
connector might appear on the upcoming rtx 3000 series gpus the problem is

00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:08.080
that would be dumb because the 12 pin power connector doesn't exist on power

00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:12.319
supplies yet meaning that anyone upgrading to an rtx 3080 would need to

00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:16.239
also buy a new psu with the right connector which doesn't exist well

00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:20.480
there's more speculation that NVIDIA might include an adapter in the box

00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:24.800
which would solve the problem the other possibility is that this new connector

00:02:22.239 --> 00:02:29.040
is for a workstation card and not a GeForce or rtx one which would make a

00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:32.720
bit more sense we'll find out soon enough whether NVIDIA is just

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:36.800
yanking our cables with this one when ampere cards launch in a couple months

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:41.840
until then yank i say yank

00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:46.560

00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:52.879
aesthetic but what they do have is love for their fans in the blog post xbox

00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:54.400
headphil spencer he's just ahead

00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:58.239
