00:00:01.460 --> 00:00:06.660
and you may ask yourself where is my

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

00:00:08.639 --> 00:00:14.099
starting this is not my view my view so demanding USB standards have

00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:17.460
become increasingly confusing to the point where one can't be sure whether

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

00:00:22.260 --> 00:00:28.800
it's very easily differentiatable and I guess the HDMI Forum thinks that's a

00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:33.239
good thing challenge accepted because as TFT Central recently reported the latest

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

00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:44.940
meaning monitors could be advertised with HDMI 2.1 support while not

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

00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:55.140
or variable refresh rate I wanted this the HDMI Forum told ftft Central it will

00:00:52.620 --> 00:01:00.420
be up to manufacturers to state which HDMI 2.1 features the device supports

00:00:57.780 --> 00:01:06.360
which honestly sounds so much simpler because HDMI 2.0 is just like a word man

00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:10.820
and words are all made up which is why I usually communicate primarily through

00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:13.439
facial expressions and grunts

00:01:10.820 --> 00:01:17.640
could you believe I just said that a critical vulnerability discovered last

00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:21.840
week in an extremely common open source logging utility called log4j

00:01:23.659 --> 00:01:30.479
the vulnerability continues to threaten huge swaths of the internet including

00:01:28.020 --> 00:01:35.280
Services by Apple Amazon cloudflare steam Tesla Twitter and even Baidu I

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

00:01:38.759 --> 00:01:45.299
big Tech the log 4J flaw was originally spotted being actively exploited on

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:49.860
Minecraft servers last week and can potentially allow hackers full control

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:52.680
over affected systems while patches are being rolled out the utility is so

00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:56.820
pervasive that it could still be exploited as evidenced by researchers

00:01:54.899 --> 00:02:01.380
demonstrating vulnerabilities in iPhones and Tesla cars that can be triggered

00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:04.500
with a simple name change massive HR provider Chronos has also just been hit

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

00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:13.200
to panic no calm down I have all the

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:15.660
toilet I need there are steps you can take to protect yourself just kidding

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

00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:24.780
a great job preparing me mentally for constant invisible threats so I'm fine

00:02:22.260 --> 00:02:28.020
and Toyota has pulled a fast one on its customers who have been enjoying the

00:02:26.040 --> 00:02:32.459
ability to remote start their cars with their key fob since 2018. some Toyota

00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:36.360
owners have discovered they were only able to use this feature thanks to a

00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:40.980
free three-year trial of the company's remote connect subscription that was in

00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:44.760
the fine print read the fine print David and to continue using this feature they

00:02:42.780 --> 00:02:50.340
need to pay eight dollars per month or eighty dollars a year confusingly cars

00:02:47.580 --> 00:02:54.120
built before November 12 2018 can continue using remote start without a

00:02:52.739 --> 00:02:59.519
subscription because that's when Toyota stopped building 3G networking Tech into

00:02:55.980 --> 00:03:01.260
their vehicles so uh hooray for them is

00:02:59.519 --> 00:03:04.019
so confused as to why I would have to pay Toyota to use a remote that

00:03:02.700 --> 00:03:07.260
communicates directly with my car especially when I've spent a lot of time

00:03:05.700 --> 00:03:12.720
with her and probably know her way better than Toyota does at this point I

00:03:09.300 --> 00:03:15.300
love her where you going back off

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

00:03:17.700 --> 00:03:23.280
striving to bring PC gaming to the masses with no price markups you'll pay

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

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

00:03:31.980 --> 00:03:39.540
imagining right now get it in there peace

00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:42.599

00:03:49.799 --> 00:03:55.260
important than any quick bit could ever be but the quick bits already booked

00:03:53.700 --> 00:04:00.000
this part of the episode so we have you have to leave you understand Apple has

00:03:57.420 --> 00:04:04.080
done yet another kind of unapple thing and released an Android app called

00:04:01.980 --> 00:04:09.540
tracker detect which will let users detect nearby air tags that may be being

00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:11.040
used to stock them oh they did it were

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

00:04:12.900 --> 00:04:19.019
detects a nearby air tag has been following you for 10 minutes you can use

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

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

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

00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:37.680
just got certified as the world's first car maker to get regulatory approval for

00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:41.160
a level 3 self-driving system which more or less allows drivers to actually not

00:04:39.419 --> 00:04:46.139
pay attention to the road unlike the level 2 systems and other cars Tesla did

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:49.680
you hear about that pretty cool huh you should probably get Elon to uninstall

00:04:47.460 --> 00:04:53.880
Twitter turns out Sony did have a reason to Hound dbrand over its PS5 replacement

00:04:51.900 --> 00:04:58.320
plates as the console maker just announced official PS5 console covers

00:04:56.280 --> 00:05:02.520
along with dual sense controller covers in a handful of colors are they plastic

00:05:00.840 --> 00:05:06.419
these ones don't have the extra ventilation holes of dbrand's dark

00:05:04.620 --> 00:05:11.759
plates but they do have names like Galactic purple and Cosmic red and

00:05:10.020 --> 00:05:17.840
they're official so they probably look so good on kratos's PS5 especially when

00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:20.840
he kicks atrias off so he so he can play

00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:20.840
boy

00:05:21.080 --> 00:05:28.080
you didn't play the game the Halo franchise is well known for enabling

00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:31.680
silly sandbox gameplay and infinite is no exception allowing players to do

00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:36.419
wacky things like grapple a warthog you just rocketed so you can basically fly

00:05:33.900 --> 00:05:40.320
well 343 has no intention of patching out anything that allows you to do that

00:05:38.220 --> 00:05:44.520
even if it lets players do very very silly things meaning that Halo infinite

00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:48.180
may very well take over breath of the Wild's reputation for enabling some

00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:53.160
insane stuff out there in the Open Fields Hyrule is being invaded by the

00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:57.539
Covenant yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I just gotta see if I can Gravity Hammer this

00:05:54.720 --> 00:06:02.940
ghost into space one second oh boom Dennis is not going to edit anything

00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:05.160
and batteries made out of wood

00:06:02.940 --> 00:06:09.440
it's not a joke they're being developed by a Swedish company called ligna

00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:19.139
bow but why are they doing this

00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:21.900
quote world is boiling and and so uh

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

00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:28.560
Wednesday for more Tech news it will not be boiled it's probably going to do

00:06:27.539 --> 00:06:34.400
something a little more interesting with it simmering the saute a little bit of a

00:06:30.900 --> 00:06:34.400
deglaze flambe
