technology phones computers these are
just some of the words you may hear in today's video Apple's upcoming iPhone 17
lineup could include an iPhone Air according to Insider Mark German not to
be confused with Mark merman The Aquatic humanoid that's squatting in my pool
I've had enough German suggests the iPhone Air will be Apple's latest
attempt at trying to sell an iPhone model that isn't just the iPhone the
iPhone Pro or the iPhone Pro Max because the company definitely wasn't already
struggling to come up with more than two options what's more than pro pro Max
extra the phone concept was also discussed two weeks ago by John prer of
front page Tech according to prer the rumored thickness for the slim iPhone 17
is just 5 mm to put that in perspective the iPhone 15 Pro Max is 8.2 mm thick
and I mean thick it's dummy thick it's
not it's not that look clap of its ass cheeks do we need this meanwhile the
iPhone 16 lineup we're going to see this fall will be boring sure the action
buttons coming to non-pro models and the pros might be getting another Button as
a camera shutter just hand me down buttons that's the Paradigm here but
German says there won't be any other truly meaningful changes and that must
be saying something when the most notable change for the 16th successor is
just fat shaming Tik Tok is under Fire
for sending news alert Style notifications to advertise
misinformation according to a report from the financial times these alerts
have contained complete falsehoods such as a claim that Taylor Swift called
Florida racist and canceled all her tour dates there which is why one of her
recent hugely popular songs is called Florida with three exclamation marks
she's upset Florida stop in addition to
fake news Tik Tok has also promoted out-of-date news at least one user
received an alert this January about a tsunami warning in Japan more than 3
weeks after the natural disaster warning had actually been issued several users
who clicked on the notification claimed they were then led to a Tik Tok video
from an account they don't even follow it's not even the fake news they want
this doesn't fit my agenda at all this isn't exactly good publicity for the
platform which is already facing an upcoming ban in the US if it isn't sold
off by Chinese owner bite dance Tik Tok
and bite dance are also being sued by the justice department for violating
children's privacy laws all in all it's a great time for Tik Tok that's
according to a notification I got from Tik Tok annual hacking conference Defcon
occurred this weekend giving us an opportunity to be reminded that the
technology we rely on every day is incredibly fragile and vulnerable for
example researchers discovered hundreds of millions of AMD processors dating as
far back as 2006 that suffer a major security flaw allowing attackers to
install malware virtually undetectably while AMD is patching many of its
processors they they won't be fixing chips outside of their software support
window like the ryzen 3000 Series fortunately for those affected the
exploit is actually sort of difficult for hackers to use since it requires
them to already have kernel level access to a machine in other Defcon news
researchers found 10 separate flaws in Google's quickshare file transfer tool
with some allowing remote code execution on nearby Windows PCS fortunately all of
these vulnerabilities were reported and fixed thanks hackers meanwhile separate
researchers got a different response when they discovered they could hack
vacuum and lawnmower robots made by eax
and use them to spy on their owners the researchers say they never heard back
from ecova and they believe the vulnerabilities aren't fixed fortunately
owners of ecova devices may be able to fix the issue themselves using a common
debugging tool called a baseball bat however if you're looking to debug your

of Intel's nextg battle mage gaming gpus
has been spotted in a Linux bootup log as discovered by a non-tech forum user
go 87 who immediately informed the police it shouldn't be there the single
line of text in the log was noteworthy because if it's legit it signifies an
incoming mid-tier Intel Arc GPU with
more and faster RAM than its predecessors 12 GB running at 19 GBS per
second are we as an industry finally accepting that maybe 8 GB of Graphics
memory isn't enough did Intel hide this in a log as a prank before they go out
of business good questions apple is forcing patreon to exclusively use the
app store's inapp purchasing system in their iOS app saddling all transactions
with Apple's cut of 30% or four times
what patreon takes on its own platform I mean it's only fair you think extortion
grows on trees thankfully existing subscription memberships won't be
affected but creators will have to choose between absorbing the cost
themselves or passing it on to their patrons for new subscriptions and
purchases in the iOS app patreon is doing a good job explaining things in
their official blog post help articles and CEO Jack con's blurry ass video you
couldn't use your 8% cut to buy a cloth to wipe your webcam jeez I can barely
see your earnest eyes and Wiggly hands and I want to I actually like him he's
cool has a wiggly hand Enthusiast I get where you're coming
from two patent infringement lawsuits filed against bamboo lab could have
far-reaching consequences for the 3D printing hobby we're calling it a hobby
let little uhal money Printing Little screws oh you're a professional 3D
printer n that's cute what do you do for work us industrial 3D printer
manufacturer stratasys filed who who are just having fun us industrial 3D printer
manufacturer strates filed the lawsuits alleging that 10 of their patents have
been infringed upon by bamboo lab however one of these patents is for a
heated build platform something found on only like every consumer 3D printer ever
if stratesys somehow manages to win the case it will be bad news not just for 3D
printing hobbyists we did it again but for their friends who constantly have to
hear them talk about 3D printing what did 3D printers do to you Jacob I'm the
friend they're like the vegans of tech people wh will begin testing diolis wobo
taxis weo will begin test wh will begin
testing stop okay weo will begin testing
driverless robox on San Francisco freeways after receiving approval from
California Regulators back in March the company has also begun testing the
patience of software engineer Sophia Tong by renting a parking lot outside
her building for their Robo taxis to park SL honk in at 4:00 a.m. every night
naturally tongue responded the only way a sane human being can by setting up a
24-hour live stream of the lot featuring Loi hip hop to park SL honk 2 listen she
hasn't been sleeping very well and Google Deep Mind has done the
unthinkable they've created a robot that's okay at pingpong in a paper the
organization detailed their pingpong playing robot saying that it won 100% of
its matches against beginner human players but only 55% of matches against
intermediate players it really tried to make it sound good there for a second
demonstrating solidly amateur human level performance and it can do all the
moves forehands backhands uh other other
hands lobs pops Bobs pop shoets weaves
it does it all and it does it at a level deemed
acceptable and it would be more than acceptable if you came back on Wednesday
for more Tech news you're a pretty good listener and I like that about you
