wait don't skip forward this intro is very important okay before we get to the
tech news i have something to tell you
boobies
what are you for google has been sued by the state attorneys general of 36 states
and washington dc it's not a state but it does have some very cool buildings
the lawsuit is very similar to the one epic brought against apple as it centers
around the googles the googles that's what i call them the google there are 30
commission fee they take from all transactions on the google play store
the lawsuit seems to have been inspired by recently changed policies from google
that will attempt to capture fees from apps that have managed to sidestep them
so far such as netflix the case will also bring up google's past
anti-competitive behavior such as offering samsung enormous benefits and
sums of money in exchange for not building out the galaxy store which
clearly didn't work because they did that google's response to the lawsuit is
of course us no Android ah it's an open it's an
open platform anyone anyone can do anything on there as long as they pay us
enough money that's oh look it's apple doing bad stuff
you're not getting away with this one google yeah we got you on our site now google
us president joe biden went ahead and issued that executive order the white
house teased earlier this week and turns out it's not just focused on the right
to repair the order covers a number of issues related to general
anti-competitive behavior in many industries including company mergers
user surveillance and data collection and that mid 2010's buzzword net
neutrality ah miss arguing about that in most cases it will be up to the ftc to
put the order's recommendations into action but action on net neutrality will
require the fcc's involvement which currently often finds itself deadlocked
with two republican and two democrat members as biden hasn't nominated a
replacement for former fcc chairman ajit pai probably because they haven't found
someone with an equally silly oversized mug i mean there's got to be a democrat
who loves big gulps out there or something and microsoft is making it a
bit hard to get stoked for Windows 11 thanks to a few somewhat concerning
developments it looks like users still running Windows 7 or 8.1 will have to do
a clean install of Windows 11 instead of directly upgrading which
okay makes makes sense those are old os's it's probably simpler to just wipe
and start fresh but then let's add in a report that says Windows 11 insider
build is pretty unpolished for something that's set to release in just a few
months and also the emergency patch microsoft just issued to fix the print
nightmare flaw didn't actually fix it look i don't know what's causing the
funk that microsoft is currently in but everything seemed fine until they
announced their microsoft store partnership with amazon
i don't know jeff bezos might have gone and dumped some pee bottles on the
servers or something conspiracy could be anything
wait there's another riley in here

it make a sound no
wrong after trying to wiggle its way out of government regulation twitter has
finally agreed to start hiring for the positions india now requires it to have
such as a chief compliance officer who will make sure posts on the platform
abide by india's new content rules which prohibit dangerous bad things like
hashtags related to farmer protests
you don't want children growing up thinking it's okay to criticize the government can you imagine oh my gosh it
twitter right criticize the government yeah and
everybody else qualcomm has announced the smartphone for snapdragon insiders a
1500 phone built by ASUS and designed to
show off the snapdragon 888 chipset's fancy features like 5g wi-fi 6e and
onboard ai only snapdragon insiders have
the privilege of buying the phone while the rest of us are limited to making financial decisions that aren't bad ah
this sucks i'm upset did you catch that
speaking of phones front page tech has published what it claims are the final
specs of the google six and six pro we'll probably be seeing in october with
the most interesting detail being the apparently google designed processor
codenamed whitechapel we'll probably also be seeing the pixel 5a as a filing
for that phone was just spotted on the fcc database both of these devices may
come with at least five years of software updates which should definitely
last you until the next heat wave kills us all google may be looking for more
money on the play store but they're actually letting you take your google funds elsewhere with an update to the
google pay app which will let you use them through a virtual visa debit card
at tap to pay nfc terminals in stores wait
so so google is good they're good but they were bad
are they bad do you and oneplus has admitted to speed
limiting over 300 apps on the company's phones after an investigation called
them out for the practice but oneplus seemed to not think it was that big of a
deal claiming it provides a smooth experience while reducing power
consumption which would sound fine if it didn't mean cutting down on chrome's
performance by around 80 percent oh my phone lasts three more hours but i spend
an extra hour trying to get a freaking search result
i think that's saving the planet i think that's what that means
recycle better save your attention span for monday though because that's when
we'll be back with more tech news it's the weekend now guys
you can relax i'm sorry i said boobies
