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

00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:10.080
year Black Friday when skeletons rise from their graves

00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:14.360
and is that not what Black Friday means dbrand and Zach Jerry R everything

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:19.760
Nelson are taking competing phone case company casify to court for allegedly

00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:24.080
stealing their tear down skin designs the theft was discovered when dbrand and

00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:28.840
Nelson carefully analyzed casify Inside Out case for about 1 second as Nelson

00:00:27.560 --> 00:00:32.320
explained in a YouTube video he and debrand painstaking reproduce the

00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:36.719
internals of phones and laptops for their tear down series of skins but they

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:40.680
also include fun little Easter eggs in said skins because that's what Black

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:45.120
Friday is all about can I get a Hallelujah James say still you're

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:49.239
missing it what I don't understand Black Friday but I do understand it doesn't

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:53.039
make sense for casify to have the same exact Easter eggs on their Inside Out

00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:57.680
products I also know what you're thinking quesi must have bought dbrand

00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:01.480
skins scanned them changed a couple things then sold them as their own work

00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:06.080
but you're actually giving them way too much credit based on the research of

00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:10.520
Nelson and debr Attorneys at La it looks like casify used lower res product

00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:15.640
images from D Brand's own site in a further update casify may have also

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:19.520
cheated off iix it as pointed out by lab's correspondent Jake Danes on a tip

00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:24.640
from the LTT subreddit they did a journalism in case the defense they at

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:29.320
least tried to hide their thievery while Iranian company mahoot leather hit

00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:32.520
contrl c contrl v and called it a day you can boost bo boo your earnings

00:01:30.759 --> 00:01:38.560
goodbye does no one know how to properly plagiarize anymore kids these days are

00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:41.280
so spoiled by Chad gpg Boo Boo's kiss in

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:45.920
Persian and get this case toy just released a statement calling themselves

00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:49.119
a Bastion of originality a Bastion never call yourself a Bastion

00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:54.600
you won't believe this deep Brad released that same statement four months

00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:56.560
ago Lenovo is taking ASUS to court for

00:01:54.600 --> 00:02:01.920
allegedly violating four of their patents what has Oprah Winfrey given out

00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:06.240
lawsuits Lenovo is seeking damages for a halt on sales of any infriging products

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:11.560
within the US for example the company says the ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 oleds wake

00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:16.160
on land Tech diagonal scrolling capability and even its hinge all

00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:22.519
violate patents granted to Lenovo I don't know sounds a bit unhinged anyway

00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:25.920
uh anyway in a press release on Tuesday Lenovo said the lawsuit was a last

00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:30.239
resort as they had previously offered ASUS a cross- licensing deal earlier

00:02:28.239 --> 00:02:33.800
this year as a solution now however Lenovo demands ASUS stop marketing

00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:37.879
advertising selling Distributing basically doing anything with their

00:02:36.040 --> 00:02:41.640
laptops in the United States while they're at it Lenovo decided to channel

00:02:39.959 --> 00:02:46.000
Kelly Jensen from middle school by claiming this won't harm us consumers

00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:52.280
for competition since ASUS's market share is so small ASUS some advice if I

00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:56.680
may when you run home to your bedroom and lock the door blast sound guarden to

00:02:54.200 --> 00:03:01.800
hide your Loud sobs Chinese factories are taking apart thousands of brand new

00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:06.599
RTX 49 90s to make specialized gpus for AI according to posts on buo which is

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

00:03:08.799 --> 00:03:14.840
sequel the export restrictions on AI chips to China took effect November 17th

00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:19.239
just after NVIDIA was supposed to launch their Chinese export restriction

00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:22.879
compliant AI chip the H20 but NVIDIA delayed that launch until the first

00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:28.080
quarter of next year fortunately for AI companies crafty NVIDIA absolutely

00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:32.000
pumped out RTX 490 orders to China before the restrictions took effect

00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:35.280
unfortunately for actual Gamers those cards seem to have been bought up by

00:03:33.799 --> 00:03:41.519
potentially sketchy companies are dismantling them and slapping their chips into blower style coolers that are

00:03:38.760 --> 00:03:45.959
more suited for multi-card systems now the Chinese market has been flooded with

00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:50.959
cheap coolers and 4090 pcbs which are useful for repairing melted 490s to be

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

00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:59.840
cards are going to AI Farms while Chinese gamers are left in the Lurch all

neurological condition that prevents him from saying quick

00:04:52.919 --> 00:05:00.800
bits it's also terminal developer hack hiive iio on Reddit has discovered a fun

00:04:58.479 --> 00:05:06.320
workaround to Google's current Crackdown on ad blockers an extension that simply

00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:09.880
mutes ads and plays them at 16x the original speed the developer also plans

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

00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:20.400
the Chrome Store and it technically doesn't break the rules just like how

00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:23.560
technically Google CEO sarpi can't pay a

00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:26.160
large beefy man to break hack hiive io's

00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:29.880
knees that would be against the rules hack hiive the bees knees there's

00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:34.080
something in that speaker maker son will be expanding its business to offer its

00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:38.919
first ever headphones releasing a $400 ere set next year possibly as early as

00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:41.759
April which is such a natural progression as it's honestly kind of

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

00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:50.960
considering following up with earbuds again seems inevitable it's an ambitious

00:05:49.039 --> 00:05:55.560
plan with a headphones code Nam Duke which sounds like uh intended to compete

00:05:53.520 --> 00:05:59.759
directly with the Apple's airpod Max and other high-end headsets at least that's

00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:03.199
according to Bloomberg's Mark Gman the Undisputed Gretchen Wieners of the tech

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

00:06:05.960 --> 00:06:12.080
Samsung is catching some heat for removing some screen burn in protection

00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:16.160
in their most recent OS update that may not be too bad according to ratings

00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:20.800
10-month study of OLED and LCD burin simulating 6,000 hours of real world

00:06:18.520 --> 00:06:24.720
usage while the OLED TVs they tested experienced some Burnin it wasn't

00:06:22.520 --> 00:06:29.759
noticeable during normal use while every LCD had overt degradation but it's still

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:33.680
nothing compared to the images my brain has retained since early childhood when

00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:38.280
I walked into my parents room at the wrong time I never wanted to see my

00:06:35.520 --> 00:06:42.840
neighbors like that Google made a deal with Spotify that let the Audio company

00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:46.880
avoid paying anything to Google if its users paid directly through Spotify

00:06:45.039 --> 00:06:51.160
according to testimony shared during the Epic V Google trial if Spotify users

00:06:49.520 --> 00:06:55.560
picked Google's payment processor while signing up Google would get a 4% cut but

00:06:53.599 --> 00:06:59.400
that's way less than 15% Google's standard cut for subscriptions for the

00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:03.319
past 2 years that deals even better better than the 10% cut Google offered

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

00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:11.240
prior to this testimony Google understandably requested the deal's

00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:14.680
specifics remain sealed I wouldn't want to advertise the fact that I'll give you

00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:19.120
Tech news for free if you're important enough I will and Ubisoft has issued a

00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:23.360
statement regarding their surprise in-game Black Friday ads in yesterday's

00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:27.800
game link that's a different channel it's kind of the same we reported that

00:07:25.599 --> 00:07:31.960
players of Assassin's Creed Odyssey and some other franchise titles reported

00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:35.240
in-game ads for 20% off Assassin's Creed Mirage that would prevent them from

00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:38.919
accessing the map screen unless they press the button to make the ad go away

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

00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:48.000
Assassin's Creed games but was misplaced due to a technical error in that they

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

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

00:07:54.479 --> 00:08:00.680
tell him he's in your thoughts and prayers as he battles this Affliction

00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:06.639
just don't tell him we sent you make it we don't want to we don't

00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:06.639
want to make him feel shy
