1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,920 Whoa, Riley was right. There's a lot of you here. Can you guys go easy on me? 2 00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:11,120 It's my first time telling you about the tech news. NVIDIA and AMD have agreed to 3 00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:13,040 pay the US government 15% of all revenue 4 00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:21,279 from chips that they sell to China. >> Uh, I know, specifically AI chips like 5 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:23,039 NVIDIA's H20 or AMD's Mi308. The news 6 00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:26,800 comes just days after the Orange administration hosted Jensen's jacket at 7 00:00:25,279 --> 00:00:30,800 the White House where it was announced that NVIDIA was granted the export 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:35,520 license needed in order to sell these chips to China. Impeccable timing cuz 9 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:40,960 one social media post connected to Chinese state media says that these H20 10 00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:44,879 chips are lacking technological innovation and are environmentally 11 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:50,320 unfriendly. >> That won't stop them though. >> It does make things a little awkward. 12 00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:54,800 This is the first time a US company has agreed to fork over some of their 13 00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:59,760 revenue in order to obtain these export licenses. Rightfully making some experts 14 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:04,400 uh a little nervous. But that doesn't matter, right? We're all used to pay to 15 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:07,119 win by now. And senior golfer Trump needs more tacky gold to decorate his 16 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:13,200 office with. >> I make you an offer you can't refuse. The move could bring in more than $2 17 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:17,520 billion to the US government since NVIDIA was expected to sell more than 18 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:21,600 $15 billion worth of these chips to China. Oh yeah, AMD is here as well with 19 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:25,040 their 800 million predicted in sales. >> Yeah, there's competition. 20 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,640 >> They're competing hard. Speaking of irrelevant things, AOL, everyone's 21 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:34,240 favorite dialup internet service provider, has officially announced that on September 30th, they are killing 22 00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:38,320 their dialup service. Rest in peace, little yellow man. No longer do you have 23 00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:43,119 to run for the remaining 160,000 Americans that still use Dialup to get 24 00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:47,040 their 56 kilobytes a second. Is that how slow it was? Yikes. Are you shocked that 25 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:52,479 many people are still using Dialup? I know I was when I read that number, but 26 00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:54,799 it is down from about 260,000 just 6 27 00:01:52,479 --> 00:02:01,040 years ago. This service shutdown comes just 4 years after Verizon sold Yahoo 28 00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:02,880 and AOL to Apollo for a whopping $5 29 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,439 billion. I do wonder how much of that was Yahoo 30 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:10,800 >> even then. >> As for now though, all other AOL services are staying up and running, 31 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:15,599 including their newsfeed. Don't know why I bothered to point that out. It's just 32 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:20,560 yellow Yahoo newsfeed, but hey, remember 33 00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:22,239 AOL? It's still here. Barely. GitHub CEO 34 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:26,080 Thomas Donkey has announced that he will be resigning. In a blog post, he 35 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,560 announced he wants to become a startup founder again outside of GitHub and 36 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:36,560 Microsoft, concluding his almost four years as CEO. Microsoft purchased GitHub 37 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,239 back in 2018 for 7.5 billion and at the 38 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:42,720 time people were definitely worried that this acquisition by a major corporation 39 00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:46,720 would threaten its community focus. Since then, it's operated more or less 40 00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:50,319 as a separate company, but with the departure of Thomas, the GitHub 41 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:55,680 leadership team will now be reporting to Microsoft's new core AI team instead of 42 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:59,920 getting a direct replacement CEO. Thomas plans to stay with GitHub until the end 43 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:03,920 of 2025 to help the transition. Get out of my swamp, Thomas. 44 00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:08,159 >> Donkey. >> But what the is Core AI? It's a 45 00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:13,360 Microsoft division led by former Meta executive Jay Perakei with the goal of 46 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:16,640 building an AI platform and tools for both internal use and for its customers. 47 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:21,519 >> Yay. >> More AI. How will this affect GitHub? 48 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,800 Maybe we'll get an AI CEO. At least then it'll tell me I do a great job 49 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,920 >> every damn time. >> So, you're so good, Elijah. 50 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,799 >> You're brilliant, Elijah. >> Thank you. But I'll let Riley tell you 51 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:36,080 about our sponsor. >> He's brilliant, too. >> He's pretty cool. >> ODO and their full suite of business 52 00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:43,440 management software, which brings together pretty much everything you need to run your business into one platform. 53 00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:45,519 One pot, you could say, like a chicken 54 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:50,159 pot pie, which has all of your essential nutrients to survive. I don't think I 55 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:54,959 ate lunch. And ODU's easy to use with a userfriendly and customizable interface. 56 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:59,280 Just like Gam's classic pot pies, they're portable. ODO's got everything 57 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:03,200 with apps to manage sales and inventory tracking, accounting, invoicing, project 58 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:07,040 management with customizable interfaces. You can even set up a forum with 59 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:11,760 official documentation and a reward system to encourage engagement. But if 60 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:15,040 that pie sounds a bit too big for you, you only have to use the apps your 61 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:18,880 business needs. And if you only need one app, it's free. Use our link in the 62 00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:22,800 description to book a demo with their expert team to learn how ODU can help 63 00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:25,759 your business. or just sign up for a free 15-day trial with no credit card 64 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,000 required. >> Thanks for going easy with me on the main topics, by the way. Do you mind if 65 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:36,000 I stick around for some quickies? Uh, quick quick bits. Sorry. Would you pay 66 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:39,680 to fix your car software? Hyundai has a security vulnerability with some of 67 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:43,759 their Ionic 5 vehicles that allows their cars to be hacked with a little device 68 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:48,240 that's disguised to look like an old Game Boy. It works by intercepting the 69 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:52,160 signal the car sends out when you place your hand on the door handle. The device 70 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,919 then calculates what signal it needs to send back to the car in order to trick 71 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,520 the car into thinking it's a legitimate key fob. This isn't actually a new 72 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:04,960 device or a new strategy at all. But what is new is Hyundai has the balls to 73 00:05:01,919 --> 00:05:07,280 charge you $65 in order to buy the 74 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:13,280 optional security upgrade to prevent this. What the Hyundai people have to 75 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,039 pay cuz you suck at coding. I personally 76 00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:18,320 am just going to let mine get stolen for the insurance money. How about we talk 77 00:05:16,479 --> 00:05:22,400 about another car company? This video posted on Tik Tok recently showed a 78 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:26,000 cabless truck from the company Zelotech cruising at highway speed in China. 79 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,919 While these cabless cars aren't necessarily new to China, they are new 80 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:33,440 to many Western viewers who argue that they should have faces. I agree since I 81 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:37,520 think they would look a little less terrifying as they drag victims across 82 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:41,120 town as seen in this video where the moped didn't even slow it down. It 83 00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:44,560 >> totally depends on their expression, honestly. 84 00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:49,280 New rumors popped up about a more affordable 13-inch MacBook, including 85 00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:54,320 that this device will be using the A18 Pro chip, which is the same chip used in 86 00:05:51,919 --> 00:05:59,600 the iPhone 16 Pro. It is said to be slightly smaller than the current 13.6 87 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,800 in MacBook Air, and Digi Times reports that some components are expected to 88 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:08,479 enter mass production near the end of Q3. Estimated prices are around $600 to 89 00:06:05,919 --> 00:06:12,560 $700, which if that's true, would make it the cheapest MacBook to have ever 90 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,639 come out. I hope I can just throw a SIM card in this and have a cheaper iPhone 91 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:20,000 Pro. >> They finally made a folding phone. >> Then at least I'll have the blue text 92 00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:24,160 bubbles. Okay, good. You're still paying attention cuz this one could save you 93 00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:28,479 from being doxed. If you're a user of Instagram, you may have noticed the new 94 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:33,680 maps feature. Pretty cool and useless, right? Wrong. It's useful for stalkers 95 00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:37,680 since if you spammed accept all permissions when you set up the app 96 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:43,120 years ago, it will show all of your followers your exact location when you 97 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:47,360 post something, including that cute video of your cat that you took at your 98 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:51,600 house on the toilet. >> Yeah, now you see why it's up. Don't 99 00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:56,720 worry, though. Head of Instagram, Adam Our said on threads, "We can and will 100 00:06:54,639 --> 00:06:59,520 make it easier to understand exactly what's happening." also sent from the 101 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,919 toilet >> since this was intended to be used to 102 00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:07,360 show you nearby events or activities that you were missing out on since your 103 00:07:05,919 --> 00:07:10,319 friends didn't invite you. This would probably be the only way I'd get told 104 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:14,800 about the party. So, I kind of like the feature. And let's end on some wholesome 105 00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:18,560 news. You guys remember r/ the subreddit where users could place a 106 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:23,199 colored pixel every couple minutes and work together to create beautiful art? 107 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:28,160 It's back, baby, with wplace.live, which is powered by Libra Maps. So you can 108 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:32,800 place pixels anywhere on the entire planet. Some of my favorites include the 109 00:07:30,479 --> 00:07:37,680 save hightail art in LA, the anime in Japan, and of course the little LT logo 110 00:07:35,599 --> 00:07:41,120 over our office here. You should go add a Techlink one. That'd be kind of cool. 111 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:44,639 And by the time you finish that or any other art, it'll be time for the next 112 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:48,000 TechLinked, which you promised to check out, right? >> Promise. 113 00:07:45,919 --> 00:07:51,199 >> Please. Cuz Riley should be back. I mean, unless you guys enjoyed me 114 00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:53,120 hosting. Uh maybe maybe you don't want him. 115 00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:57,599 >> Please, >> Riley, help. I want to be back. I like this, Riley.
