1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,680
every morning I wake up and wonder is life really worth living then I remember

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:11,480
Tech news I go back to sleep half the time on Wednesday we reported on the

3
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:15,839
Department of Justice asking a federal judge to force Google to sell off chrome

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:20,160
as part of the doj's recommended remedies in its Anti-Trust case against

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:25,400
Google whose dominance in internet search was ruled an illegal Monopoly

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:30,240
back in August but the Chrome thing that's just the tip of the iceberg the

7
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:34,760
doj's filing also proposes restricting Android from favoring Google search and

8
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:39,960
banning deals to make Google the default option on various platforms those deals

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:44,879
amount to 26 billion a year paid out to companies like apple but also Mozilla

10
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:49,680
meaning the move could hurt Firefox more than it hurts Google but you know what

11
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:52,000
they say a rising Iceberg eventually

12
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:55,800
comes down and oh batting down the hatches in addition the doj wants to

13
00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:00,559
force Google to uninvested put into AI company anthropic

14
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:06,119
and provided search index data two competitors for 10 years now some are

15
00:01:03,519 --> 00:01:10,600
arguing that the doj is dreaming for one the case's judge Amit meta might not

16
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:14,280
even accept this proposal for two it might seriously disrupt things like the

17
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:19,720
existing market for chromium based browsers which admittedly is kind of the

18
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:23,960
whole idea no after taking a couple days to process their shock Google finally

19
00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:29,040
published a response yesterday calling the doj's proposal staggering wildly

20
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:32,840
over Brad and part of a radical interventionist agenda agenda that would

21
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:37,280
harm Americans and break a range of Google products I mean Google can do

22
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:41,439
that and an example of how excruciating horrible this would be Google said the

23
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:46,320
proposal quote would literally require us to install not one but two separate

24
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:49,600
Choice screens before you could access Google search on a pixel phone you

25
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:53,240
bought and the design of those Choice screens would have to be approved by the

26
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:57,640
technical committee and that's just a small part of it we wish we're making

27
00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:01,479
this up honestly us too I think that would strangely help this make more

28
00:01:59,399 --> 00:02:06,399
sense not Choice screens which you already have elsewhere Microsoft is

29
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:10,399
pushing full screen ads on Windows 10 that warn users that in less than a year

30
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:15,160
official support for what was originally called the last version of Windows is

31
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:20,120
ending hey wait a second yeah you could pay 30 bucks for another year of support

32
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:24,720
but here's an idea instead you should probably start shopping for a new

33
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,720
Windows 11 co-pilot plus PC they're

34
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,560
really cool they got AI of course this isn't the first time that Windows has

35
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:33,800
pulled this stunt on multiple versions of Windows Windows but if you're mad

36
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:39,040
just consider a Microsoft argument here don't you want to try the new and improved apparently more secure recall

37
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:43,480
feature which was just made available for co-pilot plus PCS and a new Windows

38
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:47,760
Insider build the data it collects is encrypted now and protected by Windows

39
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:53,319
hello which they just forgot to do the first time you could also be missing out

40
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:58,080
on the just announced click too an AI feature supposedly similar to Google's

41
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:03,760
Circle to search but incredibly looks and sounds exactly like a right right

42
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:06,640
click menu which you normally click to

43
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:11,760
right is wrong Up Is Down Baby it's AI despite recent reports it seems like the

44
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,080
AI bubble won't be bursting quite yet

45
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:18,319
Amazon just announced they're supplementing their existing $4 billion

46
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,720
investment in anthropic with another $4

47
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:24,319
billion bringing the total to what I can only assume is an impressive amount as

48
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:28,439
I've outsourced those of my critical thinking to Claude 3.5 Sonet then

49
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:31,879
there's open AI who is reportedly developing a web browser to capitalize

50
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:35,720
on all the potential Chrome related chaos which would pair nicely with the

51
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:39,680
chat GPT search feature they launched this year I can only hope the open AI

52
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:43,480
staff working on the browser aren't the same ones who accidentally erased

53
00:03:41,959 --> 00:03:48,519
critical evidence that the New York Times legal team had spent 150 hours

54
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:53,760
Gathering as part of Discovery in their copyright case against the AI giant yep

55
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:57,760
seems like the AI hype is holding and shifting solidly towards agents who can

56
00:03:55,959 --> 00:04:02,159
use your computer for you and learn everything about you in a 2-hour

57
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:06,720
interview and then respond 85% as accurately as you on personality based

58
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:11,200
surveys as demonstrated in a new paper by Stanford and Google deepmind

59
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:16,000
researchers I could have a friend I'll take 85% O'Reilly nid CEO Jensen Wong

60
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:20,720
has an even more optimistic view of the future predicting in an earnings call

61
00:04:17,919 --> 00:04:25,199
that just like we generate electricity we're now going to be generating AI in

62
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,880
AI factories that will be pumped through a series of tubes to provide a steady

63
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:33,280
supply to the nearby town where the Tesla Bots live and they have leather

64
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:37,680
jackets like me but no AI was used to manufacture our sponsor vessie who says

65
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:41,560
their shoes are waterproof yet feel comfortable right out of the box which

66
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:45,199
is much better than plastic bags wrapped around your feet let me tell you and

67
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:49,600
trust me again when I say that vessie shoes are a godsend here in Vancouver

68
00:04:47,479 --> 00:04:53,759
where the rain seems to still be holding a grudge against us all what do we do

69
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:57,840

72
00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:11,919
the quick bits those are worth staying to wait for they're special just

73
00:05:10,039 --> 00:05:16,560
something about them it is the season to be transparent with your customers valve

74
00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:21,400
have released a new policy you're hoping I would say game regarding the sale of

75
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:25,759
season passes on Steam the changes will mean that Publishers must clearly

76
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:29,280
communicate the contents of the DLC and when it will be ready for launch for

77
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:33,759
example developers would have to say new weapons or two new weapons which is the

78
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:38,600
same granularity I tell my doctor about how much I smoke pizza or two pizzas

79
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:42,479
mistakes do happen so developers can delay the release of a season's pass

80
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:46,960
Just Once By you going to roll past that pizza com I don't get

81
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:51,400
it we're going to keep it in developers can delay the release of a season's pass

82
00:05:48,919 --> 00:05:56,520
Just Once By up to 3 months but any longer and valve will give developers

83
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:59,080
the suck and by that I mean they'll suck

84
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:04,199
the money from the devs back into your pockets and by that I mean enforce

85
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:07,800
refunds we love to see a pro consumer move but it is funny seeing this policy

86
00:06:05,919 --> 00:06:13,120
come from a company that has never hit a deadline in their life two four five

87
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:17,880
there's no three no threes Microsoft has announced Edge game assist a Windows 11

88
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:21,720
feature in preview that adds an in-game browser to the game bar overlay

89
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:26,840
assistant Gamers with their gaming and presumably edging Edge game assist helps

90
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,919
game bar catch up to a future first launch for the steam overlay back in

91
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:35,880
2011 but I guess this makes game bar more of an alternative for non- Steam

92
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,400
games that you don't want to just add to

93
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:42,160
steam so you can use the steam over there but also steam overlays browser

94
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:45,120
doesn't have a game aware new tab page that will detect what game you're

95
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:49,520
playing and automatically start a search to find out why you're so bad at it or

96
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:53,680
automatically open up certain websites edging the US Consumer Financial

97
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:57,800
Protection Bureau is now regulating big Tech not just big Banks the bureau will

98
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:01,240
be focusing on companies that handle over 50 million transactions per year

99
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:07,240
and will have the same level of authority to supervise and regulate these Payment Systems as they do regular

100
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:11,039
Banks The Bureau says that this rule will help to protect consumer privacy

101
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:16,280
guard against fraud and prevent illegal account closures this isn't to say that

102
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:17,919
the cfpb could enforce these companies

103
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:22,240
just last year they finded apple and Goldman Sachs $89 million for failing to

104
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:26,520
take action on customer disputes a whopping

105
00:07:23,639 --> 00:07:30,520
0.2% of the value of those companies but now they can slap risk sooner

106
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:35,680
regulations work to too bad for you they can't regulate me into coming up with a

107
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:37,160
good joke for this story oh that's not

108
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,680
all yell at they're excited for a new pixel tablet can I get a hell

109
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:47,800
yeah all right um well that is exactly why Google has canceled their upcoming

110
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:51,720
pixel tablet 2 at least according to a source that leaked to Android authority

111
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:56,960
who cited profitability concerns the news emerged after reports that the

112
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,440
search giant canned the pixel Tablet 3

113
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:02,840
but those reports are apparently unsubstantiated with Google's will they

114
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:06,120
won't they history with tablets it remains unclear if this is the end of

115
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:10,560
the line for their large format handheld Ambitions or just who knows uh we can at

116
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,919
least thank Google for killing this product before I started using it I mean

117
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:19,080
just to get it out of the way it's going to happen eventually and add Tech Giant

118
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:23,599
the trade desk has told axos it's building a smart TV operating system

119
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:27,560
because unlike other OS providers like Roku Amazon and Google the trade desk

120
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:31,919
doesn't own content they don't care about giving users anything they just

121
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:36,120
want to collect data about your watching habits it's much simpler be honest the

122
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:39,399
news highlights the reality that TVs are really all about data collection now to

123
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:44,600
the point where manufacturers are reportedly selling TV sets at a loss in

124
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:50,480
favor of collecting ad Revenue after all if the service is free you're the uh

125
00:08:48,519 --> 00:08:54,440
person getting a good deal you're so lucky um living in the best timeline and

126
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:58,839
if you want to stay on the best timeline come back on Monday and we'll give you

127
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:02,320
more Tech news for free okay we're not collecting your data there's a middleman

128
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:09,040
so it's okay except if you're on Flow plane then we're

129
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:09,040
no your dad is yours
