oh i see what this is about you came for tech news didn't you
i can see it in your eyes let's start off with a story that is a
little more personal to me anyways because ncix the now bankrupt
electronics retailer and my former employer has had its customer and
employee data from the last 15 years including home addresses phone and
credit card numbers and social insurance numbers leaked this freaking company
apparently didn't encrypt its servers or wipe them before they left them with the
company's landlord because they owed a hundred and fifty thousand dollars in
rent and those servers and the data contained therein are being sold to
anonymous buyers this was all uncovered by travis doering of cyber security firm
privacyfly who personally met with the guy selling all this stuff so if you've
had any business with ncix ever you should probably take extra steps to
prevent identity theft and cancel your credit cards there are helpful links in
the news sources below the farther i get away from my time at ncix the happier i
become i bought it you bought it
yeah no oh can i i'm gonna order pizzas to your
house buying buy me pizzas sending pizzas
to me you gotta pay for them well that's okay i mean i like pizza yeah let's give
me ones you don't like no
amazon surprised the tech world with a hardware event completely out of the
blue save for a few leaks a day or two before and
actually i think we should just take a moment and appreciate that i mean
yeah good job good job amazon i didn't think it was possible anymore anyways we
got way more alexa devices than anyone wanted or asked for including
a new echo dot with louder speakers the echo auto a 50 dashboard dongle the 130
echo sub which is exactly what it sounds like no oh no it's a subwoofer the 230
dollar fire tv recast which will beam live tv to other devices in your home a
new 10-inch echo show that now works with skype the ring stick up camera
since amazon bought ring earlier this year the 35 echo input which lets you
turn any normal speaker into an alexa enabled one an amazon basics microwave
and clock with built-in alexa see what i meant at the beginning
about there being too many things a new echo plus with fabric this time
the amazon smart plug so you can tell alexa to turn on and off anything that's
plugged into it and finally the echo link and link amp which will plug into
your existing sound system and also alexa will now use neural networks for
hunches to guess at something you normally want to do like reminding you to turn off the porch light or lock the
front door and also also alexa will now listen for potential so home security
threats like broken glass or a smoke alarm geez amazon can you cool it with
this i mean like i i do feel at this rate like we're gonna just be
wading through echoes as we walked oh
now google on the other hand they apparently can't manage to keep a single
thing under wraps as leaks have now revealed a new chrome os device
codenamed nukturn that's not how you say
that nocturne it appears to be a convertible tablet and keyboard dock situation with
the only visible port being one USB-C jack on the left side although there's
supposed to be an sd card slot on there somewhere as well there's also
reportedly a power button with an integrated fingerprint reader on the top
left the nocturne is expected to be revealed at google's october 9th event
along with a larger 4k enabled pixel book codenamed atlas wouldn't it be cool
if techlink covered those kind of events that would be cool that would be cool i
would like that but that's all i'm going to say but that's not all i'll say about today's

catches the sunlight honor to the quick beats china they
don't like twitch or the government doesn't anyways as they blocked the streaming service shortly after it
enjoyed a bump in popularity among chinese gamers some analysts have
suggested the block is a temporary measure that the party applies to any
western media platform that becomes popular but i wouldn't necessarily be
overly optimistic speaking of china huawei decided to troll fans lining up
to buy the new iphone 10s and 10r with a juice van selling brain boosting drinks
with no traces of apple to recharge mines and actual battery
bags to recharge their phones because apparently iphones don't have good battery life is that a
is that a thing i'd have you heard
anyways nice one huawei way to go huawei wait
see you later facebook is set to unveil its portal video chat device next week
which was previously rumored to launch back in may but apparently all that

something to challenge the 47 new echo devices that we all have now
automatically they've been they've been ordered for you they're coming i don't
want them gopro has taken the wraps off their new lineup of hero 7 action
cameras which have built-in stabilization but most importantly a new
ui that mimics that of smartphones wow yeah
revolutionary the white silver and black models aren't just colors they're
different in functionality so don't just go with your gut here and
nintendo switch online service just launched giving users access to some
classic nes games through a built-in emulator which has already been cracked
