oh hey look it's a weekend so do you do you have any plans dude you you want to
talk about you want to talk about tech news Maybe I love techniques what are you YouTube
started sharing ad Revenue with short creators this week and I'm not talking
about Linus all the revenue YouTube makes on ads in the shorts feed will be
pooled and split monthly between short creators based on their percentage of
viewership within their country for example if a mustachioed Canadian Tech
News man hosted a short about fish committing fraud that was written by an
equally handsome Jesus look-alike those two babes would be able to get a cut of
the U.S Creator pool if their short was watched in the country we did a short
there are some weird caveats to this system though YouTube is only sharing
revenue from ads that play between shorts so if your viewing session starts
or ends on an ad Those ads Revenue might not be pooled same thing for ads on
pages for hashtags or reusable sounds which frankly doesn't make any AdSense
ha but what are we gonna do switch to
tick tock not if they get banned from Google and Apple's app stores which a
bipartisan group of USB lawmakers is trying to accomplish in defense Tick
Tock has created a transparency Center where third parties can review the app's
source code provided they sign an NDA
and go through metal detectors and block their phone in a storage locker but
otherwise other than that they're being fully transparent I mean they told us
their entire morning routine in 2008. we
didn't ask they wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy AMD has been
holding on to some product Supply by under shipping CPUs and gpus team red
says they're doing this to balance Supply with demand so the poor shelf
stalkers don't have to find space for all those extra components they've been
asking for this don't think of yourself there's just too much stuff on the Shelf
please AMD couldn't possibly be doing this to keep prices High I mean when
Supply is larger than demand prices nothing happens to them everyone while
under shipping is not an uncommon tactic in the industry AMD is doing all right
in other areas without keeping PC chip prices elevated see while AMD is
struggling in their PC chip Revenue they are still doing well due to their Data
Center business increasing by 42 percent but other chip manufacturers uh you
can't say the same Intel had a larger decline in PC chip sales than AMD and
they also lost 33 percent in data center sales compared to where they were a year
ago apple and Qualcomm are also both down nearly across the board from where
they were this time last year probably because we're not all locked inside and
sad anymore now we're back outside and sad it's nice to see the trees while I
cry and Elon Musk known on the street as
El Pajaro Azul announced today that any
creators on Twitter will get a piece of the revenue generated from ads that
appear in their reply threads of course he couldn't just give that to any
Creator so it'll only be ones that are subscribed to Twitter blue
that wasn't right sure that might sound like a bad deal since Twitter blue will
cost you eight dollars a month but your ad revenue is only limited by how many
reply guys you've collected they're like Pokemon they show up
well Ned's gone now in the tall grass for a small upfront recurring fee you
could run a small business where you get to Be Your Own Boss wait why does that
sound so familiar anyway it was also announced that Twitter will no longer
allow free access to their API Elon says
this is to stop bot scammers and opinion manipulators and I agree with them
scammers can't afford to pay for the API where would they get the money from
scamming people and if you want to manipulate opinions on Twitter you need
to pay to run ads or buy a gold check mark like Daddy musk intended speaking
of check marks Elon has reiterated his desire to remove Legacy check marks
perhaps to further encourage tweeters to buy blue for just eight dollars a month
just the price of a Starbucks coffee you can help a billionaire pay his legal
fees from all the ex-staff currently suing it please
give generously in the arms

you know not a lot of people know this but quick bits is short for Bisquick
biscuits no one knows why Netflix revealed an
anti-password sharing feature in a help center article that would require users
to connect to the same home Wi-Fi network every 31 days and oh boy did
that go poorly the streaming Company claims it was an accident see they've
been testing page sharing in some Latin American countries over the last year
and they said this information was just for them so you don't need to worry
about the shareholder letter that says they're going to start rolling out the same page sharing to other countries
within the next two months it probably won't be yours
you're their favorite they like you better than massive
numbers of scammers are tricking people into downloading malware yes that just
happens all the time but this one is different they accomplish this by
spoofing real Brands and using Google's ad placement on their search engine to
grab clicks this marks the first time in history anyone has benefited from Google
ads while this has been going on for some
time there has been a recent dangerous Spike of malvertising using malware that
can escape most antivirus Solutions researchers believe this is because the
malware ran track in high school he's so fast how does he
put that boy in this on the sports team
the marketplace is not shutting down
another another news thing that just why is it news I'll tell you after stating
they were committed to supporting their legacy users on reset era found an
official support article from Microsoft saying that the marketplace would close
within the next year marking a 180 from
their previous statements Microsoft then clarified that this was actually not the
case coming back around to their original position there's a theme with
the stories today let me announce something and there's oh just kidding maybe that's why Nintendo
is still closing their 3DS and Wii U eshops only Microsoft can make an Xbox
360. never forget that you get it nope
because they made 180 and then they made another 180.
blizzard wants you to choose your friends carefully announcing that they
will not only punish cheaters in OverWatch 2 but also any of their
potential Pals in a blog post the game publisher stated that they will begin
suspending or in some cases even Banning players who willingly group up regularly
with cheaters it's gonna be interesting to see how this goes there's going to be
a lot of kids that are going to have a harder time re-establishing a
relationship with their Unfaithful dads after what they did to their moms the
dads cut it cut it before I say that that sounds weird and officials in the
U.S are still determining what to do about a Chinese high altitude balloon
that has drifted all the way into Missouri after a brief stint over
western Canada we call that Shanghai drifting high-ranking American officials have
said they suspect the balloon is for spying purposes with some prominent
Republicans calling for it to be of course shot down but the Pentagon says
that might be too dangerous and if it is a spy balloon it's less capable than the
surveillance satellites that China already uses however the Department of
Defense doesn't buy China's claim that it's actually a civilian weather
research Airship that simply blew off course a story that weather experts have
said is not unfeasible
said experts didn't comment on whether this whole thing could be an elaborate
Chinese prank there might just be confetti in there and it's not
unfeasible that there will be another TechLinked on Monday because there will
be it's it's quite feasible it's we do one every Monday Wednesday and Friday so
come see it very fees
