all right so what are we doing here this is a show about tech news yep
and you wrote the script based on articles that's right
uh okay so
why don't people just read the articles themselves Anthony
come on well it's it's more efficient that way
it's at the g20 summit this past weekend us
president donald trump and chinese president xi jinping apparently had a
heart-to-heart both countries agreed to reopen trade talks with one benefit
being that the u.s would reportedly lift some restrictions on u.s and chinese
companies doing business trump specifically mentioned that huawei will
be able to buy some u.s equipment that does not affect national security stocks
in the tech sector unsurprisingly rose sharply after the news although as of
now no actual policy changes have gone into effect and while it remains on the
u.s entity list of banned companies it's a classic story
of friends fighting blocking each other on social media and then making up
wait how does the spying fit in
there ah i dunno it's not a perfect analogy maybe
it's like more like a jealous spouse thing oh yeah yeah
twitch announced the ability for streamers to broadcast exclusive streams
only for paying subscribers last week it's a cool new feature for super fans
but it may also be illegal you
criminals you see the terms of service from multiple
high-profile game publishers including blizzard valve riot games and cd projekt
red all state that the player can't charge users to view or access videos
made using their games these publishers encourage players to stream and earn
revenue but the content has to be freely available the subscribers only stream
feature is ostensibly intended for use during special occasions like esports
broadcasting but twitch is probably going to have to convince publishers to
alter their tos in order to make that happen looks like even giant video game
companies don't read the fine print i mean speak
for yourself riley i read it that's impressive yeah you always had to read the eula
that's that's how it is you don't know what you're you don't
know what you're signing away you're a better man than me Anthony
and the first beta test for the halo master chief collection on pc rolled out
the select halo insider members on the weekend less than a thousand of them though and
that gave other halo fans what doctors call major fomo
even though 343 industries posted nearly 20 minutes of halo reach gameplays over
according to the company a pirated copy of the beta was illegally distributed
online understandably 343 doesn't want a beta
meant to get feedback on potentially janky controls to get out in the open
so they've threatened to ban the accounts of anyone found to have
illegitimately downloaded or played the beta i know being patient is hard you
guys but if you're really itching for that halo fix
why not try split gate it's basically portal mixed with halo
and it's free to play and you won't risk being arrested that's what i call a
hashtag and what hashtag Anthony hot tip
i don't have those you got so many tips
i guess
now it's time for quick bits i guess brought to you by drop and the
sennheiser pc37x gaming headset its
angled drivers are from the same family as the well-known hd598 and hd600
headphones for fantastic sound quality featuring an open back design and noise
cancelling microphone it offers great stereo imaging and locational accuracy
join the drop today at the link below on to the what quick bits
fine quick bits quack bats airdrop remains one of the best benefits that
apple devices have over Android but that might change with Android q the next
version of Android will reportedly have a feature called fast share which will
use bluetooth and wi-fi to send files and text to nearby people awesome now
Android users can also get blasted with memes by teens on the bus i feel
included you should hey oh sorry did you think that you owned
your ebooks that you bought from the microsoft store
no yeah turns out microsoft is shutting down the drm server that provides
licensing for its ebooks so they're gone just gone microsoft is giving users
refunds for the books they're snatching away but still i guess we don't own anything
these days not even our own thoughts
no that's what i was thinking oh sorry
spacex launched the first 60 of their internet providing starlink satellites
over a month ago and they've reportedly deployed successfully
all except for three of them which will drop out of orbit and burn up in the
atmosphere along with two others that are being intentionally scuttled space
internet is cool but these 60 starling satellites are expected to be joined
eventually by nearly 12 000 others right
now there are only 2 000 satellites in total orbiting the earth and we already
have a space debris problem good luck getting to mars through your own
self-made death trap elon did not think ahead yeah a week after issuing a recall
for some macbook pro models apple has contacted owners of the 2018 macbook air
telling them to take their machines into an apple store for a free logic board
replacement you think events like that will increase
or decrease now that joni ive has left i think macbooks will just be regular
laptops yeah i can get behind that they'll look like
2012 Windows pc you know less designed for design's sake and more design for
you know being able to yeah actually fix it and electric cars make very little
noise the only problem is that sometimes you can't hear them coming the eu is fixing
that by passing new legislation requiring all low emission vehicles to
have some noisy meeting devices by 2021
the change should make life simpler and safer for pedestrians but what i'm
wondering is whether we'll be able to make our own noises like
yeah i'm interested in that as well yeah well we're in canada though so yeah it
doesn't really matter
