1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,720
oh yeah you know what time it is you are

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:12,080
you're so good at keeping track of time that's why we call you the watcher

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,599
what truly blistering internet speeds just

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:20,480
got one step closer thanks to researchers in japan who just managed to

5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:26,880
transfer data at a rate of one petabit paid a bit per second across

6
00:00:23,439 --> 00:00:28,400
standard multi-core fiber no a petabit

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:32,520
doesn't have anything to do with animal rights it's the equivalent of 1 million

8
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:37,440
gigabits or 125 terabytes we're talking about

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:41,760
emailing a server's worth of information in one second now i know what you're

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:46,879
thinking but riley researchers at that same institute demonstrated petabit data

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:50,960
transmission way back in december 2020. and yes that's true which is another

12
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:55,199
reason we really appreciate you but that test was conducted using non-standard

13
00:00:53,199 --> 00:00:59,920
optical fiber cables that require the signal to be unscrambled at the other

14
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:03,960
end this test used standard multi-core fiber and actually transmitted more than

15
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:09,439
a paid-a-bit per second 1.02 to be exact over a distance of 31

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,520
miles meaning this kind of speed is a lot closer to commercial reality than

17
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,600
before i feel like we do this a lot on the show but

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:21,040
nice job japan very cool it's not a kaiju fighting mech

19
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:25,520
which i would like more but it's cool close enough tim hortons

20
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:29,520
that bastion of canadian culture named after its founder and professional

21
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:33,119
hockey player tim horton has betrayed us all an investigation by our great

22
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:38,000
nation's privacy commissioner has found that the franchise's mobile app

23
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:39,759
collected user location data as often as

24
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,680
every few minutes even when the app wasn't in use the findings strengthened

25
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:47,520
the case being made by four proposed class-action lawsuits attacking the

26
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:52,000
company for being unclear about the scope of information being collected by

27
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:56,799
tim hortons but wait there's hope a co-defendant named in two of those

28
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,880
lawsuits is american company radar Labs

29
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:02,880
which helped tim hortons develop the app i knew it timmy's wouldn't do this to us

30
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:06,479
unless it was under the influence of the yanks we should have never shared our

31
00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:10,399
timbits with you and new york state senate has just

32
00:02:08,399 --> 00:02:14,560
passed two rather interesting bills with big implications for the tech industry

33
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:18,319
the first one is a moratorium on new permits for cryptocurrency mining

34
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:23,680
operations which had flocked to the state's many retired hydroelectric and

35
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:26,080
fossil fuel plants after china imposed

36
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:29,599
heavy restrictions on crypto last year existing miners won't be affected but

37
00:02:28,239 --> 00:02:34,080
for how long fossils don't just grow on trees the

38
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:38,400
second bill passed this morning is a massive win for the right to repair

39
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:41,920
movement called the digital fare repair act it requires electronics

40
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:47,280
manufacturers to make device documentation parts and tools available

41
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:50,160
to basically anyone that wants it even babies

42
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:53,840
that's not in the that's not in there i just both bills still need to be signed

43
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,440
by the state's governor to become law but at this point you're allowed to feel

44
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,519
the kind of excitement you do when your team is up by two points with a minute

45
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:05,280
left is that was that accurate for sports is that

46
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:09,680
go sports now it's time for quick bits brought to you by ifixit provider of the

gift check out ifixit's manta kit with 112 steel bits including standard

sound made up are those real the manta kit also has both a hefty quarter inch

55
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:47,680
below quick bit sounds like something you could put in a screwdriver but trust

56
00:03:46,239 --> 00:03:52,799
me they they do not like that

57
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:56,959
amazon has launched an invite system for buying high demand low supply products

58
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:02,480
like gaming consoles which the company says may prevent inventory shortages and

59
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:07,519
price gouging any potential buyer will be able to request an invitation to buy

60
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:08,879
an item no 200 membership needed a best

61
00:04:07,519 --> 00:04:12,319
buy so hopefully this keeps the bots out and

62
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:17,199
we can get back to the point where we have way more stuff than anyone will

63
00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:21,280
possibly ever need the way it should be but we have no money but there's stuff

64
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:26,000
classified military information is leaked on the forums for vehicular

65
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:31,360
combat simulator war thunder for the third time after a chinese player posted

66
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:34,639
a photo of ammunition schematics for a chinese tank with one of the actual

67
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:38,560
rounds sitting on top of the paper the game's

68
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:42,160
developer gaijin entertainment has since removed the post and banned the player

69
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:47,520
who is trying to get them to make the tank's in-game assets more realistic i

70
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:52,560
mean what is this advance wars battle tanks for the n64 this is the tank game

71
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:57,440
for historical scholars like jono ford's ceo jim farley has

72
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:01,919
publicly said he wants his company to move towards online only sales for

73
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:06,240
electric vehicles a model prominently used by newer electric vehicle companies

74
00:05:03,919 --> 00:05:10,400
like tesla and volkswagen has indicated they want to do something similar for

75
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:15,039
their scout ev line the problem is in many jurisdictions it's actually illegal

76
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:19,199
for traditional manufacturers like ford to sell directly to consumers instead of

77
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:24,880
through a massive complicated network of dealerships which add their own markups

78
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:27,039
because uh the economy duh

79
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:30,880
that pixel 7 that showed up on ebay and facebook marketplace apparently wasn't a

80
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:34,720
one-off after reading articles about it one reddit user discovered that the

81
00:05:32,479 --> 00:05:40,560
pixel 6 pro he thought he had purchased a few weeks ago was actually a pixel 7

82
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,560
pro and it was remotely reset by google

83
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:46,800
presumably the day after the sketchy pixel 7 listings appeared in articles so

84
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:51,680
let this be a lesson to you only buy new phones from certified phone dealerships

85
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:55,840
where this stuff does not happen and as promised sony held a state of play event

86
00:05:53,919 --> 00:06:00,240
yesterday to announce some cool things like the fact that the remastered

87
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:03,360
version of 2018's excellent ps5 exclusive spider-man game is coming to

88
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:07,520
pc in august yes

89
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:12,160
i've been waiting so long is it good it's awesome it's pretty good

90
00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:15,759
it was it was ps4 game

91
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,880
i don't i don't i don't touch consoles so i didn't know that we also got

92
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:25,600
trailers for the upcoming open world street fighter 6 what a skating shooter

93
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:27,840
hybrid game uh roller drum

94
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:32,080
that actually looks cool a very dead space style game made by the people who

95
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:36,479
made dead space called callisto protocol and eternites an action dating game i

96
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:42,720
don't know exactly the meaning of what i just said but that's just how my life normally goes but i do know when you can

97
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:47,280
come back for more tech news monday why do i know that

98
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,280
it's just my gut
