1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,720
oh wow what a sight the face of a huge

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:12,400
nerd eager for a fresh helping of tech news well I'm happy to oblige a

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:16,440
Microsoft blog post published this morning made it seem like the company

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:21,640
was announcing a time limit on their free upgrade offer for Windows 10 users

5
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:27,760
the blog post has now been taken down but when it was live its title read free

6
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:30,720
upgrade to Windows 11 for a limited time

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:35,559
only it's a little too casual you might be screwed whoopsie it could be that

8
00:00:33,559 --> 00:00:39,760
Microsoft isn't planning to restrict free Windows 10 to 11 upgrades at least

9
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:43,600
more than they already have through Hardware requirements but setting an

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:49,039
upgrade deadline to coincide with the end of support for Windows 10 which is

11
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:51,640
coming October 14th this year would mesh

12
00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:57,879
with the company's plans for 2025 which it called the year of the Windows 11 PC

13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:00,680
refresh in some kind of Oprah inspired

14
00:00:57,879 --> 00:01:05,640
manifestation exercise it also wouldn't be unprecedented Microsoft limited free

15
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:11,360
upgrades to Windows 10 from systems running 7 and 8 to 1 year but kept

16
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:16,439
allowing users to activate Windows 10 using keys from those older os's

17
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:21,040
interestingly one reason Microsoft may have taken down the article is that the

18
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:26,200
limited time upgrade thing wasn't referenced at all in the actual text but

19
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:31,600
it did mention that office apps which are now called Microsoft 365 apps much

20
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:36,880
simpler will will also be losing support on Windows 10 devices on the same day as

21
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:41,240
the OS itself October 14th which means even if you pay the 30 bucks a year for

22
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:46,240
extended security updates on Windows 10 the same can't be said for word and

23
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:51,920
PowerPoint now Microsoft does say in a support document that the apps will keep

24
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:54,640
working it's just well if you don't pay

25
00:01:51,920 --> 00:02:00,439
for protection you might encounter performance and reliability issues over

26
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:05,159
time what can you do you is a rough neighborhood NVIDIA has published new

27
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:11,000
performance charts for their RTX 50 Series gpus that shows just how

28
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:16,519
important dlss 4 with multiframe generation is to NVIDIA's extremely bold

29
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:22,680
claims of double the 40 series performance at CES last week compared to

30
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:24,760
the old charts for the 5090 80 5070 TI

31
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:29,599
and 5070 which you can find in our news sources Link in the description the new

32
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:35,319
charts add a Resident Evil 4 Benchmark that was run without dlss and it looks

33
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:40,360
like compared to their 40 series nons super counterparts the 50 series shows

34
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:48,440
pure traditional rendering uplifts of around 30% for the 90 and 15 to 20% for

35
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,360
the others which is not double and

36
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:55,599
furthermore seems to scale linearly with the extra wattage each card is getting

37
00:02:53,760 --> 00:03:00,400
so you tell you're telling me this architecture is better I could do that

38
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:05,799
in answer to complaints over their gpus relying on so-called fake frames to

39
00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:14,560
achieve high performance NVIDIA seems to be saying yeah soing what apparently 80%

40
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:16,360
of RTX players turn on dlss sure a lot

41
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:22,400
of the time it's on by default but the point is upscaling and frame gen have

42
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:27,239
pretty much already been normalized so it makes total sense that NVIDIA is

43
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:32,319
trying to tell reviewers the right way to review their AI cards that happened

44
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:38,920
to pixels on your screen rumors are pointing to RTX 5090 reviews going up on

45
00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:41,239
January 24th with 80 reviews on the 30th

46
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:46,920
unless that was hallucinated by chat gbt I mean the biggest fake frame of them

47
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:49,360
all speaking of AI Google has dropped

48
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:54,920
its separate Gemini add-on for Google workspace and will be adding Gemini

49
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:58,280
powered features for Gmail docs meet Etc

50
00:03:54,920 --> 00:04:00,879
to existing workspace plans for free

51
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:06,360
alongside a small price increase Microsoft answered Google by relaunching

52
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:11,079
yet another thing called co-pilot co-pilot chat is free for commercial

53
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:17,359
customers with the ability to create and work with task specific agents on a pay

54
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:22,479
as you go basis co-pilot is of course based on Tech from open AI who also just

55
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:29,039
announced a couple of new agentic tools paying chat gbt users can now ask it to

56
00:04:25,479 --> 00:04:30,840
track tasks and set reminders to say

57
00:04:29,039 --> 00:04:34,840
give me a daily weather update just make sure you set another reminder to ask

58
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:40,600
chaty BT if that update was a hallucination it's going to rain today

59
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:42,639
is it though hm thinking oh nah it won't

60
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:47,600
you're the best if you're not stoked on all of this AI stuff I guess you must

61
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:52,320
hate local news because open AI also just announced they're funding news

62
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:54,720
Outlet axios to develop local newsrooms

63
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:58,440
in four new locations in the US and Google just made a deal with the

64
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:03,680
Associated Press to swap content and tools sure it just came out that meta

65
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:08,320
and probably every other AI company intentionally trained models on pirated

66
00:05:06,039 --> 00:05:13,840
books and probably pirated everything else but but what you hate local news ah

67
00:05:11,479 --> 00:05:18,479

TechLink still hungry hm what's the tech news without a quick

78
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:08,639
bits dessert I'm this is weird I'm sorry the FBI says they had no choice but to

79
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:13,039
hack thousands of computers in the US to remove malware planted there by a

80
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:17,199
china-backed hacking Group which is almost a shame because their name is

81
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:21,440
Mustang Panda I feel like they should get some

82
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:26,800
leeway for that the FED said that owners of infected PCS were typically unaware

83
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:30,880
of the infection so stands to reason they wouldn't be aware of the FBI

84
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:34,520
breaking into their computer to fix it for them you're welcome although they

85
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:38,880
did apparently tell internet service providers of affected IP addresses that

86
00:06:36,759 --> 00:06:43,199
they should inform their customers the disclosure of the operation comes a year

87
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:47,919
after the FBI did something similar to De infect routers being used as part of

88
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:52,880
a botnet the FBI is just hacking stuff all the time for good for good reasons

89
00:06:51,000 --> 00:07:00,400
Samsung is apparently pre-empting Apple's iPhone 17 air with their own

90
00:06:56,039 --> 00:07:02,800
Galaxy s25 slim as detailed by leaker on

91
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:06,520
leaks and news site smart Prix they showed renders of the phone which will

92
00:07:04,479 --> 00:07:15,599
reportedly launch in May at a thickness of just 6.4 mm which will enable owners

93
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:17,280
to uh what Jimmy a lock with it why do

94
00:07:15,599 --> 00:07:20,919
we want this the White House is continuing to go ham with the

95
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:24,960
restrictions on China before President Biden leaves office adding more

96
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:28,680
companies to a list of entities affected by trade restrictions the Biden

97
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:34,120
Administration also finalized its proposed rule that will effectively ban

98
00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:40,039
Chinese cars and Chinese car components from the US in what I have to assume is

99
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,520
a fit of rage Chinese drone company DJI

100
00:07:40,039 --> 00:07:46,639
which could be facing its own ban at some point removed its Geo fencing

101
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:51,879
feature that stops drones from flying in no fly zones the week after one of them

102
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:57,199
crashed into a plane fighting the California

103
00:07:54,039 --> 00:07:59,520
wildfires so that's where International

104
00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:04,840
politics are at right now the FTC Illinois and Minnesota have sued John

105
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:09,840
Deere over the company's anti-consumer repair practices alleging the tractor

106
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:13,599
manufacturer has Monopoly power over the repair market and I really hope this is

107
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:18,440
a wakeup call for John Deere because what they they think they're Apple I can

108
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:22,599
understand artsy Baristas using the Genius bar but you're going to tell

109
00:08:19,879 --> 00:08:28,840
Farmers they can't fix stuff you make tractors and a coder going by a ding

110
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:33,519
2210 has baked a playable instance of

111
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:35,159
Doom 1993 into a PDF file yeah they

112
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:40,719
apparently did this thanks to the JavaScript support in pdfium the engine

113
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:45,680
that renders PDFs in chromium based browsers it supports WD movement and

114
00:08:43,839 --> 00:08:50,560
other keyboard controls you just have to click the text box first and then you're

115
00:08:47,959 --> 00:08:54,800
free to play Doom in perhaps the worst way imaginable but the best way to get

116
00:08:52,720 --> 00:09:00,480
more Tech news is to come back here on Friday when we'll probably have news

117
00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:04,320
about the switch 2 Nintendo did not reveal the reveal for the switch 2 today

118
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:11,440
probably because everyone talked about it so much and they're shy so damn it

119
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:16,720
sh it always it always comes right for

120
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:16,720
me just just settle down no
