00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:05.960
welcome to TechLink where we deliver you a dose of tech news in 30 minutes or

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:10.360
less or your money back you don't actually directly pay for the news but

00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:15.000
still AMD has walked back some of its ryzen 9000 performance claims after the

00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:18.800
new processors fell short in review benchmarks in a blog post the company

00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:25.039
explained some of the reasons why their numbers were better than basically every

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:27.760
reviewer ever a massive Factor was AMD

00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:32.840
running all their testing in admin mode which turns out is a big security yike

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:36.480
according to Hardware on box what AMD is referring to is enabling the hidden

00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:41.280
system administrator account in Windows 11 something that requires command

00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:46.039
prompt to do this isn't the same as a standard account with administrator

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:50.559
permissions mind you this account runs with full administrative privileges by

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

00:00:52.879 --> 00:00:59.480
going to click on that link download that movie yes please would you like to

00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:03.680
have kids even worse if your system gets compromised malware or Bad actors and

00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:07.439
we're not talking Ezra Miller can use those privileges too if that wasn't

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:11.080
enough wendle from Level One tech suggests that running processes within

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:16.159
that account means you're essentially running those processes with Windows

00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:17.680
virtualization based security disabled

00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:21.520
while that would give you better performance turns out your computer is

00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:26.040
less secure when you don't use features that contain the word Security in the

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:30.520
name AMD claims that some of the missing ryzen 9000 performance will be added to

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:36.479
standard accounts in a future Windows 11 update but that means nothing to Windows

00:01:32.479 --> 00:01:38.960
10 users AKA most Windows users I fix it

00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:42.799
has declared the Samsung Galaxy ring unrepairable after a product tear down

00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:47.680
and it wasn't unrepairable just because they did a really good job at tearing it

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

00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:54.880
lithium ion battery without destroying it that means that each Galaxy Ring

00:01:53.520 --> 00:01:59.119
basically has to be thrown out and replaced every 2 years when the battery

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

00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:09.080
in a landfill unfortunately 100% disposable status is shared with every

00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:13.800
other smart ring and Samsung's Galaxy buds 3 for the same reason to make

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:18.599
matters worse this comes just days after Google confirmed that the pixel watch 3

00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:22.360
also can't be repaired just like the previous two pixel watch models and all

00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:26.599
this Falls within a larger trend of companies restricting the ReUse of their

00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:31.519
products previously free features that came with the purchase of a

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:32.800
$1,700 SN BAS ET we all have one have

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

00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:43.519
newborn outgrows it in four to five months on top of that pelaton announced

00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:48.840
they will start charging new subscribers in the US and Canada a $95 activation

00:02:46.519 --> 00:02:52.879
fee if those users bought their Hardware secondhand what do they do if you buy it

00:02:50.519 --> 00:02:57.599
third hand beat the out of you the US Department of Justice has

00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:02.200
announced they are suing Real Page the company whose software is used by

00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:03.959
landlords to set Rent prices in a press

00:03:02.200 --> 00:03:07.519
release the justice department claims their software encourages competing

00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:12.720
landlords to share sensitive rental information to help train real P's

00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:16.080
algorithm to suggest better and higher

00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:18.040
rent prices oh man now ai is taking jobs

00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:22.159
away from hardworking price fixers the government agency first

00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:26.640
opened an investigation into real Page's alleged anti-competitive practices back

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:31.599
in 2022 after an investigative report was published by nonprofit Newsroom prua

00:03:29.799 --> 00:03:35.120
things don't necessarily look good for Real Page since at least two property

00:03:33.480 --> 00:03:38.879
management companies who used real Page's software have agreed to settle

00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:43.879
several lawsuits filed against them by renters frankly I think all this legal

00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:47.840
trouble serves real page right AI isn't meant for making the cost of living

00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:52.200
higher it's meant for bigger things like scamming your grandparents and taking

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

00:03:54.120 --> 00:04:00.480
Episode 4 the final episode is coming out tomorrow on Flow plane and Tuesday

00:03:58.079 --> 00:04:04.439

PC components peripherals and even fully pre-built rigs check with their

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:15.200

behind the scenes content subscribe to float plan again it'll be on there

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:25.560
tomorrow both links are in the description of this video friendships

00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:30.280
may come and go but quick bits well they end even faster AMD's upcoming ryzen

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:34.600
9000 x3d chips May may be coming out early next year according to several

00:04:31.840 --> 00:04:39.039
sources reliable leak or hxl suggested that they may be coming at CES 2025

00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:44.520
which is happening in January this was then corroborated by both fellow leer

00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:46.800
Wan usus and Hassan from wccftech this

00:04:44.520 --> 00:04:49.919
may also explain reports that AMD's new budget B series motherboards are

00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:55.039
supposedly launching around the same time if there's one thing Gamers love

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

00:04:56.400 --> 00:05:04.720
upgrade path for that 3D vcash Apple has decided to split its App Store team into

00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:08.639
two King Solomon Style with one half to handle the EU specific version of the

00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:13.080
App Store also known as the we're not run by billionaires store however at

00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:16.880
least one notable person will not be present to deal with this particular

00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:20.800
bisected Baby App Store vice president Matt fiser who has led the division

00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:25.600
since 2010 will be leaving the company possibly due to concerns that he too

00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:28.759
will be sliced in half if he remains of course it would be much simpler for

00:05:26.919 --> 00:05:32.520
Apple to Simply make one app store for the entire world that complied with EU

00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:35.840
regulations but that would mean less money for apple and they're not ready to

00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:40.120
throw either half of the baby out with the bath water Microsoft May finally be

00:05:37.919 --> 00:05:43.639
killing off the Windows control panel hey don't get mad at me this Tuesday a

00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:47.440
support document was updated to announce that control panel is in the process of

00:05:45.880 --> 00:05:51.039
being deprecated in favor of the settings app though on the other hand

00:05:49.080 --> 00:05:55.400
Windows has been promising to retire control panel for years the company has

00:05:53.440 --> 00:05:59.280
slowly been moving more tools to the settings out for over a decade yet in

00:05:57.479 --> 00:06:03.280
that time control panel has been kept around it's like that one friend in the

00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:06.840
squad who you don't really talk to but you keep him around because he makes

00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:10.240
Incredible snicker doodles you rock Dave and so do your snicker doodles a

00:06:08.280 --> 00:06:14.840
Kentucky hacker who faked his own death to avoid $116,000 in child support has

00:06:13.039 --> 00:06:21.080
been sentenced to nearly 7 years in prison as well as $80,000 in Damages

00:06:18.280 --> 00:06:24.240
Jesse Kip was guilty of more than being a bad dad of course in addition to

00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:28.680
hacking and altering State death Registries in Arizona Hawaii and Vermont

00:06:26.919 --> 00:06:33.639
he was found guilty of both fraud and identity theft why couldn't he just keep

00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:35.440
it hurting his kids K likewise used the

00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:39.960
dark web to sell stolen personal data and elicit access to private businesses

00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:44.680
networks and you think with that many side hustles he could find some spare

00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:48.440
cash to send his daughter and Lindy AI was forced to patch their automatic

00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:53.080
responder after the bot pranked its clients according to CEO Flo Calo he

00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:56.759
first noticed the issue when the AI responded to a client's help request by

00:06:54.720 --> 00:07:00.400
sending them a link to a video tutorial that didn't exist the bot which was

00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:05.560
presumably on publicly available internet data instead linked Rick asley

00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:09.039
seminal 1987 hit never going to give you up it's possible these kinds of pranks

00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:13.120
are so deeply embedded in the training data that Bots will be asking each other

00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:17.400
if they smell up dog long after Humanity's Extinction you know what I

00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:22.639
smell more Tech news being cooked up so come back for another episode on Monday

00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:25.840
a second helping if you will a second coming no
