00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,960
welcome to TechLink where we deliver you a dose of tech news in 30 minutes or

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:10,360
less or your money back you don't actually directly pay for the news but

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:15,000
still AMD has walked back some of its ryzen 9000 performance claims after the

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:18,800
new processors fell short in review benchmarks in a blog post the company

5
00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:25,039
explained some of the reasons why their numbers were better than basically every

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:27,760
reviewer ever a massive Factor was AMD

7
00:00:25,039 --> 00:00:32,840
running all their testing in admin mode which turns out is a big security yike

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:36,480
according to Hardware on box what AMD is referring to is enabling the hidden

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:41,280
system administrator account in Windows 11 something that requires command

10
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:46,039
prompt to do this isn't the same as a standard account with administrator

11
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:50,559
permissions mind you this account runs with full administrative privileges by

12
00:00:47,879 --> 00:00:54,960
default and won't ask you if you're sure before you do something very stupid I'm

13
00:00:52,879 --> 00:00:59,480
going to click on that link download that movie yes please would you like to

14
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:03,680
have kids even worse if your system gets compromised malware or Bad actors and

15
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,439
we're not talking Ezra Miller can use those privileges too if that wasn't

16
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:11,080
enough wendle from Level One tech suggests that running processes within

17
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:16,159
that account means you're essentially running those processes with Windows

18
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,680
virtualization based security disabled

19
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:21,520
while that would give you better performance turns out your computer is

20
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:26,040
less secure when you don't use features that contain the word Security in the

21
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:30,520
name AMD claims that some of the missing ryzen 9000 performance will be added to

22
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:36,479
standard accounts in a future Windows 11 update but that means nothing to Windows

23
00:01:32,479 --> 00:01:38,960
10 users AKA most Windows users I fix it

24
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:42,799
has declared the Samsung Galaxy ring unrepairable after a product tear down

25
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:47,680
and it wasn't unrepairable just because they did a really good job at tearing it

26
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:51,360
down no I fix it made the claim because you aren't able to replace the Ring's

27
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,880
lithium ion battery without destroying it that means that each Galaxy Ring

28
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:59,119
basically has to be thrown out and replaced every 2 years when the battery

29
00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:05,000
dies so it's less one ring to rule them all and more one ring of many to end up

30
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:09,080
in a landfill unfortunately 100% disposable status is shared with every

31
00:02:07,039 --> 00:02:13,800
other smart ring and Samsung's Galaxy buds 3 for the same reason to make

32
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:18,599
matters worse this comes just days after Google confirmed that the pixel watch 3

33
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:22,360
also can't be repaired just like the previous two pixel watch models and all

34
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,599
this Falls within a larger trend of companies restricting the ReUse of their

35
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:31,519
products previously free features that came with the purchase of a

36
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,800
$1,700 SN BAS ET we all have one have

37
00:02:31,519 --> 00:02:38,920
now been locked behind a monthly subscription I imagine this will make it harder to resell your SN once your

38
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:43,519
newborn outgrows it in four to five months on top of that pelaton announced

39
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:48,840
they will start charging new subscribers in the US and Canada a $95 activation

40
00:02:46,519 --> 00:02:52,879
fee if those users bought their Hardware secondhand what do they do if you buy it

41
00:02:50,519 --> 00:02:57,599
third hand beat the out of you the US Department of Justice has

42
00:02:55,319 --> 00:03:02,200
announced they are suing Real Page the company whose software is used by

43
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,959
landlords to set Rent prices in a press

44
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,519
release the justice department claims their software encourages competing

45
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:12,720
landlords to share sensitive rental information to help train real P's

46
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:16,080
algorithm to suggest better and higher

47
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:18,040
rent prices oh man now ai is taking jobs

48
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:22,159
away from hardworking price fixers the government agency first

49
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:26,640
opened an investigation into real Page's alleged anti-competitive practices back

50
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:31,599
in 2022 after an investigative report was published by nonprofit Newsroom prua

51
00:03:29,799 --> 00:03:35,120
things don't necessarily look good for Real Page since at least two property

52
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,879
management companies who used real Page's software have agreed to settle

53
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:43,879
several lawsuits filed against them by renters frankly I think all this legal

54
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:47,840
trouble serves real page right AI isn't meant for making the cost of living

55
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:52,200
higher it's meant for bigger things like scamming your grandparents and taking

56
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:55,840
all our jobs but until that happens it's our job to tell you that scrapyard Wars

tomorrow both links are in the description of this video friendships

65
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:30,280
may come and go but quick bits well they end even faster AMD's upcoming ryzen

66
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:34,600
9000 x3d chips May may be coming out early next year according to several

67
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:39,039
sources reliable leak or hxl suggested that they may be coming at CES 2025

68
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:44,520
which is happening in January this was then corroborated by both fellow leer

69
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,800
Wan usus and Hassan from wccftech this

70
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,919
may also explain reports that AMD's new budget B series motherboards are

71
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:55,039
supposedly launching around the same time if there's one thing Gamers love

72
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:59,199
it's 3D vcash but if there's two things the other one is a budget friendly

73
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:04,720
upgrade path for that 3D vcash Apple has decided to split its App Store team into

74
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:08,639
two King Solomon Style with one half to handle the EU specific version of the

75
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:13,080
App Store also known as the we're not run by billionaires store however at

76
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:16,880
least one notable person will not be present to deal with this particular

77
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:20,800
bisected Baby App Store vice president Matt fiser who has led the division

78
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:25,600
since 2010 will be leaving the company possibly due to concerns that he too

79
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:28,759
will be sliced in half if he remains of course it would be much simpler for

80
00:05:26,919 --> 00:05:32,520
Apple to Simply make one app store for the entire world that complied with EU

81
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,840
regulations but that would mean less money for apple and they're not ready to

82
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:40,120
throw either half of the baby out with the bath water Microsoft May finally be

83
00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:43,639
killing off the Windows control panel hey don't get mad at me this Tuesday a

84
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:47,440
support document was updated to announce that control panel is in the process of

85
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:51,039
being deprecated in favor of the settings app though on the other hand

86
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:55,400
Windows has been promising to retire control panel for years the company has

87
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:59,280
slowly been moving more tools to the settings out for over a decade yet in

88
00:05:57,479 --> 00:06:03,280
that time control panel has been kept around it's like that one friend in the

89
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:06,840
squad who you don't really talk to but you keep him around because he makes

90
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:10,240
Incredible snicker doodles you rock Dave and so do your snicker doodles a

91
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:14,840
Kentucky hacker who faked his own death to avoid $116,000 in child support has

92
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:21,080
been sentenced to nearly 7 years in prison as well as $80,000 in Damages

93
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:24,240
Jesse Kip was guilty of more than being a bad dad of course in addition to

94
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:28,680
hacking and altering State death Registries in Arizona Hawaii and Vermont

95
00:06:26,919 --> 00:06:33,639
he was found guilty of both fraud and identity theft why couldn't he just keep

96
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:35,440
it hurting his kids K likewise used the

97
00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:39,960
dark web to sell stolen personal data and elicit access to private businesses

98
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:44,680
networks and you think with that many side hustles he could find some spare

99
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:48,440
cash to send his daughter and Lindy AI was forced to patch their automatic

100
00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:53,080
responder after the bot pranked its clients according to CEO Flo Calo he

101
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:56,759
first noticed the issue when the AI responded to a client's help request by

102
00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:00,400
sending them a link to a video tutorial that didn't exist the bot which was

103
00:06:58,879 --> 00:07:05,560
presumably on publicly available internet data instead linked Rick asley

104
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:09,039
seminal 1987 hit never going to give you up it's possible these kinds of pranks

105
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:13,120
are so deeply embedded in the training data that Bots will be asking each other

106
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:17,400
if they smell up dog long after Humanity's Extinction you know what I

107
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:22,639
smell more Tech news being cooked up so come back for another episode on Monday

108
00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:25,840
a second helping if you will a second coming no
