00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:11,679
badger mushroom mushroom yeah he's hey nice between getting banned in china and

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:16,080
facing disappointing iphone sales apple probably isn't feeling the holiday

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:20,000
spirit hey kwanzaa and the latest lump of coal in their

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:24,320
stocking is another court battle a federal lawsuit in the u.s alleges that

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:28,480
apple lied about the specs of the iphone 10 lineup specifically the complaint

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:32,960
states that the screen's diagonal size is a little more than a tenth of an inch

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:36,480
smaller than what was advertised yes we got to pay attention to those

9
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:41,920
details the claim that the phones are all screen was also claimed as being

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:46,640
false definitely and because each pixel doesn't have three RGB sub pixels the

11
00:00:44,559 --> 00:00:50,640
official resolution is also inaccurate do it okay although it's unclear how

12
00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:54,160
much money apple will have to cough up if the plaintiffs prevail they are

13
00:00:52,239 --> 00:00:58,079
seeking class action status so if you bought an iphone 10 maybe look out for a

14
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,879
handsome check that will allow you to like

15
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,320
see a movie maybe if you're a californian that relies heavily on

16
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:07,840
texting your wallet is probably breathing a little easier today as the

17
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:12,240
state public utilities commission has scrapped a plan to tax your text

18
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:16,960
messages originally sacramento wanted to tax any cell phone plan that charged for

19
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:20,720
texting in order to fund programs for folks in underserved areas although

20
00:01:19,119 --> 00:01:24,000
telecommunications taxes for this purpose are common across the u.s an

21
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:28,400
additional measure specifically targeting texting unsurprisingly was met

22
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:32,000
with backlash from both consumers as well as a major trade association

23
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:36,560
representing a number of large wireless carriers the change of course came after

24
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:40,640
an fcc action that classified texting in a way that no longer allowed the tax

25
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:45,520
under existing california law i wonder if maybe they'll try to tax snaps next

26
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:50,640
but that might also lead to full-scale revolution snap like from snapchat

27
00:01:48,479 --> 00:01:56,560
tax snapchats john you're out of touch no one uses that anymore it's all

28
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:56,560
tick-tocks don't tax my tick tocks

29
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:02,159
consoles have become ever more pc-like in their architecture over the years and

30
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:06,159
valve looks like it might be blurring the lines even further as a new update

31
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:10,640
to a beta version of steam appears to enable cross-platform play between the

32
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:14,080
pc and xbox one although this functionality is currently available on

33
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:18,400
certain titles in the Windows store as part of microsoft's xbox play anywhere

34
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:22,239
program having this kind of cross play on steam would potentially open up lots

35
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:26,239
of other games for play on both pc and console without having to buy the same

36
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,680
title twice and possibly enabling cross-platform multiplayer indeed the

37
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:35,200
industry looks to be moving in this direction as a whole as epic games has enabled cross-play between almost every

38
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:39,040
major platform for fortnite and they're releasing a toolkit to help other devs

39
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:41,920

the cops say anyone who declines scanning won't be viewed as suspicious

personally i just don't want the police to see that weird growth on my chin

63
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:15,280
there's some definite crossover between gamers and comic book enthusiasts and

64
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,199
digital comic provider inky pen inky pen

65
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,639
is coming to hoping to capitalize on this by coming to nintendo switch

66
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:24,880
starting today the service will focus on independent comics but should also

67
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:28,240
feature manga in the future for a price of eight dollars per month in case you

68
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:32,240
need some reading material after you ragequit smash ultimate oh i do that all

69
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:38,800

70
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:42,960
your car with a key fob if so you might be interested in hyundai's new system

71
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:46,320
that can unlock and start a car with just a fingerprint the feature will

72
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:50,720
launch next year and will be exclusive to china for the time being but there is

73
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:55,840
but there is a one in 50 000 chance of a false positive so do keep an eye out for

74
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:58,960
people inappropriately touching your suv and if you shop for groceries on amazon

75
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:04,320
you might notice a few things disappearing from their selection as they're cutting back on items that they

76
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:10,240
can't turn a profit on due to high shipping costs beverages specifically

77
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:12,240
are a prime target i get it you get that

78
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:16,960
that's a good joke as they're rather weighty but inexpensive so be prepared

79
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:22,000
for more bulk buying maybe there can be a pepsi dash button where they'll just

80
00:05:18,479 --> 00:05:23,919
bring you soda in a 50 gallon drum

81
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,960
