samsung is set to unveil a bunch of devices at its unpacked event on
february 20th including the galaxy s10
lineup and its folding phone
but we may have already gotten a peek at that last one thanks to a leaked promo a
video was posted by samsung vietnam showing someone opening up a folding
phone it was swiftly taken down of course but it was promptly re-uploaded
by some brave citizens of the internet
we salute you now the video also shows a
number of futuristic technologies like smart displays with gesture controls
remote controlled tattoo robots oh a
lordy and an ultrasound phone accessory
wait what an ultrasound phone accessory you plug it into your usb type-c and you
just yeah it's futuristic so it's possible the phone in the promo
isn't the same device we'll see it unpacked but
let's hope samsung has the design more or less ready to go for the event
because huawei will reportedly be showing off a folding phone of their own
four days later in barcelona that's
barcelona nobody says it like that
earlier this week apple blocked facebook's internal enterprise apps on
iOS because facebook was breaching apple's terms of service for the
developer enterprise program by distributing its research app outside of
the company then apple not that this is a grudge thing or
anything also blocked google for the same reason except this time the culprit
was google's screenwise meter which like
the facebook research app monitored users browsing history and network
traffic as a result of the ban google's internal company apps including a bus
hailing app and beta versions of maps hangouts and gmail simply stopped
working after google and facebook admitted to breaching the terms of service apple
restored access to these apps for both companies on iOS
google and facebook might be trying their hardest to track and collect data
on their users but apple ain't having none of that no no what happens on an
iphone stays on an iphone occur
occur is that how you're supposed to say occur
and speaking of collecting data yours has probably been collected already
earlier this month a vast trove of 700
million email addresses and passwords called collection one was leaked but
apparently that was just the tip of the iceberg security researchers have now
obtained and analyzed what they call collections two
to five bringing the total number of compromise credentials up to 2.2 billion
they really did take the michael bay approach to the sequel didn't they
though this database amounts to 845 gigabytes of data and maybe the
largest collection or collections as it
were of breaches ever recorded the data
reportedly mostly originated from previous breaches of yahoo linkedin
dropbox and other sites at the time of writing the new breaches have not been
added to the have i been pwned database but you can check if your email was
affected using a utility provided by the german hassel plattner institute and
then sign up for a password manager and change all of your passwords then just
never go on the internet again except to watch TechLinked yeah please
watch techlink how else will riley have a job without
TechLinked actually he writes for LTT now so it should be fine

named a new ceo after ousting their former leader seven months ago bob swann
has been serving as the interim ceo for that time but now they've made it
official congrats bob swann i hope your reign is as bright and well aligned as
your teeth look at that smile yeah that's a bob spawn if i ever saw it
bob swann also made an appearance along with former Radeon graphics had raja
kaduri in a new hiring video posted by Intel's graphics division the two
leaders talk about Intel's vision for discrete graphics but unfortunately the
video doesn't provide any other concrete information about Intel's discrete
graphics cards raja does say though that they're starting from zero which he
interprets as being a great opportunity rather than a competitive disadvantage
i mean i've met roger he's he's a glass half full kind of guy
that's good after speaking with sources familiar with apple's plans you know the
type bloomberg reports that the company is currently developing iphones with
three rear-facing cameras and usb type-c
ports instead of lightning ports i mean apple did already add usb type-c to the
2018 ipad pro but like iphones
that seems like it's just a step too far like they follow their hearts you know
these are creative types they they use macbooks
which come to think of it also use usb type c now
respectable japanese news outlet nikkei.com is reporting that nintendo
plans to release a paired down version of the switch console sometime in 2019
analysts expect the new version to be smaller than the vanilla switch and to
launch without a console dock or wait
hear me out on this i have an idea it's actually riley's idea but i'm going to
be the one saying it today they could just make the original switch
cheaper oh no way with the dock which is mostly
plastic hey you're welcome for the idea nintendo
we've got lots more where that came from speaking of more where that came from
you won't have more access to your movies that you bought on the internet
where that they used to come from ultraviolet a service that allowed
owners of physical media copies to secure and access their library on
multiple digital services is planning to shut down on july 31st
the idea is that users shouldn't really lose anything provided that they link
their library with one of ultraviolet supported retailers before that date but
like really this is exactly the problem with like
buying movies like i honestly i throw away those stupid ultraviolet things
that come with my blu-rays i rip them to my server and then i use plex because
then i still have it you're a pirate anywhere that's not piracy
that is bull stuff and you know it
well that's another uh that's a topic for another time i think thanks for
watching subscribe to techlinked and we will see you on monday with more tech
