1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,120 we've brought you some tech news to get you through the most evil day of the 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:10,080 year Black Friday when skeletons rise from their graves 3 00:00:07,559 --> 00:00:14,360 and is that not what Black Friday means dbrand and Zach Jerry R everything 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:19,760 Nelson are taking competing phone case company casify to court for allegedly 5 00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:24,080 stealing their tear down skin designs the theft was discovered when dbrand and 6 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:28,840 Nelson carefully analyzed casify Inside Out case for about 1 second as Nelson 7 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:32,320 explained in a YouTube video he and debrand painstaking reproduce the 8 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:36,719 internals of phones and laptops for their tear down series of skins but they 9 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:40,680 also include fun little Easter eggs in said skins because that's what Black 10 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:45,120 Friday is all about can I get a Hallelujah James say still you're 11 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:49,239 missing it what I don't understand Black Friday but I do understand it doesn't 12 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:53,039 make sense for casify to have the same exact Easter eggs on their Inside Out 13 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:57,680 products I also know what you're thinking quesi must have bought dbrand 14 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:01,480 skins scanned them changed a couple things then sold them as their own work 15 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:06,080 but you're actually giving them way too much credit based on the research of 16 00:01:03,239 --> 00:01:10,520 Nelson and debr Attorneys at La it looks like casify used lower res product 17 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:15,640 images from D Brand's own site in a further update casify may have also 18 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:19,520 cheated off iix it as pointed out by lab's correspondent Jake Danes on a tip 19 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:24,640 from the LTT subreddit they did a journalism in case the defense they at 20 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:29,320 least tried to hide their thievery while Iranian company mahoot leather hit 21 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:32,520 contrl c contrl v

so spoiled by Chad gpg Boo Boo's kiss in 24 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:45,920 Persian and get this case toy just released a statement calling themselves 25 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,119 a Bastion of originality a Bastion never call yourself a Bastion 26 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:54,600 you won't believe this deep Brad released that same statement four months 27 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:56,560 ago Lenovo is taking ASUS to court for 28 00:01:54,600 --> 00:02:01,920 allegedly violating four of their patents what has Oprah Winfrey given out 29 00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:06,240 lawsuits Lenovo is seeking damages for a halt on sales of any infriging products 30 00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:11,560 within the US for example the company says the ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 oleds wake 31 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:16,160 on land Tech diagonal scrolling capability and even its hinge all 32 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:22,519 violate patents granted to Lenovo I don't know sounds a bit unhinged anyway 33 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:25,920 uh anyway in a press release on Tuesday Lenovo said the lawsuit was a last 34 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:30,239 resort as they had previously offered ASUS a cross- licensing deal earlier 35 00:02:28,239 --> 00:02:33,800 this year as a solution now however Lenovo demands ASUS stop marketing 36 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:37,879 advertising selling Distributing basically doing anything with their 37 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:41,640 laptops in the United States while they're at it Lenovo decided to channel 38 00:02:39,959 --> 00:02:46,000 Kelly Jensen from middle school by claiming this won't harm us consumers 39 00:02:44,159 --> 00:02:52,280 for competition since ASUS's market share is so small ASUS some advice if I 40 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:56,680 may when you run home to your bedroom and lock the door blast sound guarden to 41 00:02:54,200 --> 00:03:01,800 hide your Loud sobs Chinese factories are taking apart thousands of brand new 42 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:06,599 RTX 49 90s to make specialized gpus for AI according to posts on buo which is 43 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:10,640 offensive to me as a fan of GPU shortage 1 it was perfect it doesn't need a 44 00:03:08,799 --> 00:03:14,840 sequel the export restrictions on AI chips to China took effect November 17th 45 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:19,239 just after NVIDIA was supposed to launch their Chinese export restriction 46 00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:22,879 compliant AI chip the H20 but NVIDIA delayed that launch until the first 47 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:28,080 quarter of next year fortunately for AI companies crafty NVIDIA absolutely 48 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:32,000 pumped out RTX 490 orders to China before the restrictions took effect 49 00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:35,280 unfortunately for actual Gamers those cards seem to have been bought up by 50 00:03:33,799 --> 00:03:41,519 potentially sketchy companies are dismantling them and slapping their chips into blower style coolers that are 51 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:45,959 more suited for multi-card systems now the Chinese market has been flooded with 52 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:50,959 cheap coolers and 4090 pcbs which are useful for repairing melted 490s to be 53 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:54,840 fair you need to have a 490 to melt in the first place all these perfectly good 54 00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:59,840 cards are going to AI

00:04:58,479 --> 00:05:06,320 workaround to Google's current Crackdown on ad blockers an extension that simply 70 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:09,880 mutes ads and plays them at 16x the original speed the developer also plans 71 00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:14,919 to create a version that automatically clicks the skip button when it becomes available they've even submitted it to 72 00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:20,400 the Chrome Store and it technically doesn't break the rules just like how 73 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:23,560 technically Google CEO sarpi can't pay a 74 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:26,160 large

April which is such a natural progression as it's honestly kind of 79 00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:46,800 weird that they weren't doing that already I can't wait to not be able to resell them Sonos is apparently 80 00:05:44,759 --> 00:05:50,960 considering following up with earbuds again seems inevitable it's an ambitious 81 00:05:49,039 --> 00:05:55,560 plan with a headphones code Nam Duke which sounds like uh intended to compete 82 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:59,759 directly with the Apple's airpod Max and other high-end headsets at least that's 83 00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:03,199 according to Bloomberg's Mark Gman the Undisputed Gretchen Wieners of the tech 84 00:06:01,479 --> 00:06:07,560 world that's why his head is so big it's full of secrets the Mean Girls reference 85 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:12,080 Samsung is catching some heat for removing some screen burn in protection 86 00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:16,160 in their most recent OS update that may not be too bad according to ratings 87 00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:20,800 10-month study of OLED and LCD burin simulating 6,000 hours of real world 88 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:24,720 usage while the OLED TVs they tested experienced some Burnin it wasn't 89 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:29,759 noticeable during normal use while every LCD had overt degradation but it's still 90 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,680 nothing compared to the images my brain has retained since early childhood when 91 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:38,280 I walked into my parents room at the wrong time I never wanted to see my 92 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:42,840 neighbors like that Google made a deal with Spotify that let the Audio company 93 00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:46,880 avoid paying anything to Google if its users paid directly through Spotify 94 00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:51,160 according to testimony shared during the Epic V Google trial if Spotify users 95 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:55,560 picked Google's payment processor while signing up Google would get a 4% cut but 96 00:06:53,599 --> 00:06:59,400 that's way less than 15% Google's standard cut for subscriptions for the 97 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:03,319 past 2 years that deals even better better than the 10% cut Google offered 98 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:07,080 to Netflix who had watched enough Shark Tank to know it was time to say I'm out 99 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:11,240 prior to this testimony Google understandably requested the deal's 100 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:14,680 specifics remain sealed I wouldn't want to advertise the fact that I'll give you 101 00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:19,120 Tech news for free if you're important enough I will and Ubisoft has issued a 102 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:23,360 statement regarding their surprise in-game Black Friday ads in yesterday's 103 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:27,800 game link that's a different channel it's kind of the same we reported that 104 00:07:25,599 --> 00:07:31,960 players of Assassin's Creed Odyssey and some other franchise titles reported 105 00:07:29,639 --> 00:07:35,240 in-game ads for 20% off Assassin's Creed Mirage that would prevent them from 106 00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:38,919 accessing the map screen unless they press the button to make the ad go away 107 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:42,960 in a statement Ubisoft said the ad was supposed to show up in the main menu of 108 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:48,000 Assassin's Creed games but was misplaced due to a technical error in that they 109 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:51,199 meant to do it but since no one liked it it was technically a mistake but it's 110 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:55,879 never a mistake to come back on Monday for more Tech news and if you have a free moment please tweet at lonus and 111 00:07:54,479 --> 00:08:00,680 tell him he's in your thoughts and prayers as he battles
