1
00:00:01,460 --> 00:00:06,660
and you may ask yourself where is my

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:10,200
tech news it's here it's here it's starting now okay calm down it's it's

3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:14,099
starting this is not my view my view so demanding USB standards have

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,460
become increasingly confusing to the point where one can't be sure whether

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:24,660
the fastest version is currently called USB 3.1 Gen 2 or USB 3.2 Gen 2 X2

6
00:00:22,260 --> 00:00:28,800
it's very easily differentiatable and I guess the HDMI Forum thinks that's a

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:33,239
good thing challenge accepted because as TFT Central recently reported the latest

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:39,780
update to the video standard rolls all the specs for HDMI 2.0 into HDMI 2.1

9
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:44,940
meaning monitors could be advertised with HDMI 2.1 support while not

10
00:00:42,420 --> 00:00:49,620
supporting the full HDMI 2.1 feature set such as so useful thank you 4K 120 hertz

11
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:55,140
or variable refresh rate I wanted this the HDMI Forum told ftft Central it will

12
00:00:52,620 --> 00:01:00,420
be up to manufacturers to state which HDMI 2.1 features the device supports

13
00:00:57,780 --> 00:01:06,360
which honestly sounds so much simpler because HDMI 2.0 is just like a word man

14
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:10,820
and words are all made up which is why I usually communicate primarily through

15
00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:13,439
facial expressions and grunts

16
00:01:10,820 --> 00:01:17,640
could you believe I just said that a critical vulnerability discovered last

17
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:21,840
week in an extremely common open source logging utility called log4j

18
00:01:23,659 --> 00:01:30,479
the vulnerability continues to threaten huge swaths of the internet including

19
00:01:28,020 --> 00:01:35,280
Services by Apple Amazon cloudflare steam Tesla Twitter and even Baidu I

20
00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:41,460
know you were gonna say it's China that did this but they wouldn't hack themselves they've been cracking down on

21
00:01:38,759 --> 00:01:45,299
big Tech the log 4J flaw was originally spotted being actively exploited on

22
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:49,860
Minecraft servers last week and can potentially allow hackers full control

23
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,680
over affected systems while patches are being rolled out the utility is so

24
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:56,820
pervasive that it could still be exploited as evidenced by researchers

25
00:01:54,899 --> 00:02:01,380
demonstrating vulnerabilities in iPhones and Tesla cars that can be triggered

26
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:04,500
with a simple name change massive HR provider Chronos has also just been hit

27
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:10,800
with a ransomware attack but we don't even know if that was a log for Jay thing we don't know anything it's time

28
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:13,200
to panic no calm down I have all the

29
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,660
toilet I need there are steps you can take to protect yourself just kidding

30
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:20,160
you basically have to wait for these companies to patch their systems thankfully the past two years have done

31
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:24,780
a great job preparing me mentally for constant invisible threats so I'm fine

32
00:02:22,260 --> 00:02:28,020
and Toyota has pulled a fast one on its customers who have been enjoying the

33
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:32,459
ability to remote start their cars with their key fob since 2018. some Toyota

34
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:36,360
owners have discovered they were only able to use this feature thanks to a

35
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:40,980
free three-year trial of the company's remote connect subscription that was in

36
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,760
the fine print read the fine print David and to continue using this feature they

37
00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:50,340
need to pay eight dollars per month or eighty dollars a year confusingly cars

38
00:02:47,580 --> 00:02:54,120
built before November 12 2018 can continue using remote start without a

39
00:02:52,739 --> 00:02:59,519
subscription because that's when Toyota stopped building 3G networking Tech into

40
00:02:55,980 --> 00:03:01,260
their vehicles so uh hooray for them is

41
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:04,019
so confused as to why I would have to pay Toyota to use a remote that

42
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:07,260
communicates directly with my car especially when I've spent a lot of time

43
00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:12,720
with her and probably know her way better than Toyota does at this point I

44
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:15,300
love her where you going back off

45
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:19,260
car Toyota now it's time for quick bits brought to you by build Redux the PCB is

46
00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:23,280
striving to bring PC gaming to the masses with no price markups you'll pay

47
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:29,940
the same price for components that you'd pay if you bought them yourself just with a flat 75 dollar fee to have your

48
00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:34,379
PC built by a PC Building expert and yes they look just as muscular as you're

49
00:03:31,980 --> 00:03:39,540
imagining right now get it in there peace

50
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:42,599
just select your budget pick your games that you want to run and see how they

51
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,900
perform right on the website and let Redux take care of the rest all builds

52
00:03:44,580 --> 00:03:51,720
come with a two year warranty so click the link in the description and start creating your PC today you're more

53
00:03:49,799 --> 00:03:55,260
important than any quick bit could ever be but the quick bits already booked

54
00:03:53,700 --> 00:04:00,000
this part of the episode so we have you have to leave you understand Apple has

55
00:03:57,420 --> 00:04:04,080
done yet another kind of unapple thing and released an Android app called

56
00:04:01,980 --> 00:04:09,540
tracker detect which will let users detect nearby air tags that may be being

57
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,040
used to stock them oh they did it were

58
00:04:09,540 --> 00:04:14,819
you excited I didn't think they'd do it I have so many stalkers if the app

59
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:19,019
detects a nearby air tag has been following you for 10 minutes you can use

60
00:04:16,620 --> 00:04:23,880
it to force the tracker to play a sound so you can find it what do you then do

61
00:04:21,359 --> 00:04:26,940
with it is up to you I would make a fish swallow it and release it into the river

62
00:04:25,380 --> 00:04:33,060
and then kiss the fish and it becomes a prince hey Tesla did you hear Mercedes-Benz

63
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:37,680
just got certified as the world's first car maker to get regulatory approval for

64
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:41,160
a level 3 self-driving system which more or less allows drivers to actually not

65
00:04:39,419 --> 00:04:46,139
pay attention to the road unlike the level 2 systems and other cars Tesla did

66
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:49,680
you hear about that pretty cool huh you should probably get Elon to uninstall

67
00:04:47,460 --> 00:04:53,880
Twitter turns out Sony did have a reason to Hound dbrand over its PS5 replacement

68
00:04:51,900 --> 00:04:58,320
plates as the console maker just announced official PS5 console covers

69
00:04:56,280 --> 00:05:02,520
along with dual sense controller covers in a handful of colors are they plastic

70
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:06,419
these ones don't have the extra ventilation holes of dbrand's dark

71
00:05:04,620 --> 00:05:11,759
plates but they do have names like Galactic purple and Cosmic red and

72
00:05:10,020 --> 00:05:17,840
they're official so they probably look so good on kratos's PS5 especially when

73
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:20,840
he kicks atrias off so he so he can play

74
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:20,840
boy

75
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:28,080
you didn't play the game the Halo franchise is well known for enabling

76
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:31,680
silly sandbox gameplay and infinite is no exception allowing players to do

77
00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:36,419
wacky things like grapple a warthog you just rocketed so you can basically fly

78
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:40,320
well 343 has no intention of patching out anything that allows you to do that

79
00:05:38,220 --> 00:05:44,520
even if it lets players do very very silly things meaning that Halo infinite

80
00:05:42,660 --> 00:05:48,180
may very well take over breath of the Wild's reputation for enabling some

81
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:53,160
insane stuff out there in the Open Fields Hyrule is being invaded by the

82
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:57,539
Covenant yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I just gotta see if I can Gravity Hammer this

83
00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:02,940
ghost into space one second oh boom Dennis is not going to edit anything

84
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:05,160
and batteries made out of wood

85
00:06:02,940 --> 00:06:09,440
it's not a joke they're being developed by a Swedish company called ligna

86
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:19,139
bow but why are they doing this

87
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:21,900
quote world is boiling and and so uh

88
00:06:19,139 --> 00:06:25,919
wood batteries and we're gonna boil if we stand here all day so come back on

89
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:28,560
Wednesday for more Tech news it will not be boiled it's probably going to do

90
00:06:27,539 --> 00:06:34,400
something a little more interesting with it simmering the saute a little bit of a

91
00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:34,400
deglaze flambe
