1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,359
everybody needs tech news which is why we're happy to provide it until the

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:09,120
government rolls out the new federal tech news distribution program finally

3
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:15,759
at that point we'll switch over to covering reddit memes why would we do that riley

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:17,680
that sounds terrible we need way more

5
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:22,320
those ones where someone just like talks forever elon musk must be getting

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:27,279
on the nerves of even his most ardent supporters by this point because on

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:31,920
friday the world's richest meme reposter filed a letter with the sec to cancel

8
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:36,000
his 44 billion dollar bid to acquire twitter whoopsies

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:39,760
didn't mean it yep the move comes after months of loud

10
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:43,840
speculation from musk over the percentage of twitter's user base that

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:48,640
is made out of bots an issue that many expected musk to use as an excuse to get

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:52,160
out of the deal but doing that won't be so easy twitter has hired prominent law

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:56,640
firm watchell lipton rosen and katz johnson

14
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:01,760
sure to sue musk and force him to complete

15
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:06,159
the acquisition ironically the same firm created the so-called poison pill

16
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:11,840
defense that twitter initially used to try and prevent musk from taking over

17
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:14,400
the company so there's some snip snap

18
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:19,200
snip snapping on both sides in classic fashion elon responded to the lawsuit by

19
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:23,520
posting a meme on twitter that pointed out he's finally going to find out the

20
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:28,240
bot information he craves during the trial and i'm starting to reconsider

21
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:32,479
whether this guy should be the king of mars

22
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:37,759
the law seems to be on twitter's side here but some analysts are pointing out

23
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:41,520
that there may be a way musk could get out of the deal considering the

24
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:46,640
ramifications of handing one of the world's most high-profile public forums

25
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:51,040
to a weirdo billionaire apparently trying to single-handedly reverse

26
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:54,640
humanity's declining birth rate even if that means letting him succeed at

27
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:58,159
covering up his sell-off of 8 billion in tesla stock

28
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:04,159
with the bat sometimes pc gamers cheered has GPU prices dropped

29
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:09,280
below msrp for the first time in years last month and we really needed some

30
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:13,520
good news even better though GPU prices are continuing to drop in china and here

31
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:19,680
too actually saw some 39's for under 900 bucks with some high-end cards down as much as

32
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:22,480
38 below msrp now it's worth pointing

33
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:26,640
out that msrp for NVIDIA and AMD cards are slightly higher in china than in

34
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:31,360
north america due to tariffs but 3d center also is reporting that GPU prices

35
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:38,400
are continuing to drop in those regions with AMD carts in particular down an

36
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:41,040
average of 88 of msrp wait what

37
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:44,480
oh an average of 88 of mrp that makes way more sense

38
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:49,040
you can't tell right now but this situation is so wondrous that i'm

39
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:54,560
holding back tears hopefully the GPU landscape stays relatively level because

40
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:58,720
while hiking is good for you it's not something that pc gamers generally

41
00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:02,959
appreciate on average on average i like it yeah i know you do

42
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:08,560
and the president and ceo of rogers communications tony stefari

43
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:12,640
has apologized for the network outage that took out a quarter of canada's

44
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:17,120
connectivity on friday including my phone saying the company now believes that

45
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:21,760
their narrowed the cause down to a faulty maintenance update which caused

46
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:26,159
some of the routers to malfunction yeah about how many routers do you think

47
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:30,319
that was tony because we're not just talking about cell phones here we're

48
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:34,640
talking about emergency services payment terminals my cell phone once again

49
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:38,400

00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:57,280
question because cutting off a quarter of canadian internet is a rookie number

68
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:03,919
trust me microsoft has done some snip snapping snippeting of their own and

69
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:08,960
reversed the earlier reversal concerning support for untrusted macros and office

70
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:13,440
applications the tech giant initially said untrusted macros will be blocked to

71
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:17,199
combat malware the security community hated that so

72
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:21,919
microsoft walked it back but this morning the company said that walk back

73
00:05:19,039 --> 00:05:27,120
was temporary and untrusted macros will be blocked by default although admins

74
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:31,759
will be able to allow unofficial macros on a case-by-case basis just be glad

75
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:36,320
elon didn't offer to buy microsoft or be needing seat belts to deal with all this

76
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:40,000
whiplash am i right whoa too

77
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:45,120
speaking of microsoft the xbox series x has given an upgrade or a downgrade as

78
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:49,759
it were by digital foundry who installed Windows 98 on the console and got a

79
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:54,240
number of classic pc games running including quake half-life turok and

80
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:59,759
command and conquer they followed a guide posted by arcadis gaming to get

81
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:02,000
the os running in dosbox pure retro arch

82
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:06,080
core so you could do this yourself if you prefer potentially getting in

83
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:10,639
trouble with xbox and use your fancy new current gen console for decades-old

84
00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:13,440
games why because it's fun david knows no

85
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:18,560
reason speaking of xbox games halo infinite's

86
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:23,280
co-op beta was supposed to go live today but instead is delayed because eight

87
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:27,520
months after the game's launch which itself was delayed it is still not

88
00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:31,919
enough time to add a feature that is core to the franchise ever since combat

89
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:35,039
evolved look i know game dev is hard but i didn't think infinite was supposed to

90
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:39,199
refer how long it was going to take to roll out the game's updates

91
00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:42,960
that was a good joke rally but at least halo infinite isn't pulling

92
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:48,319
a doctor disrespect he will be allowing fans to playtest snapshots of the game

93
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:53,440
that prominent streamer is developing with his studio midnight society by

94
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,880
buying an nft players will be able to access these

95
00:06:55,199 --> 00:07:01,120
unfinished portions of the game a process that is usually handled by

96
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:05,599
professional playtesters and paid for by the studio not the other way around

97
00:07:03,599 --> 00:07:08,960
