1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,160
These eight tech news stories are unbelievable. Wait till you see number

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:09,679
five. She didn't know the camera was rolling.

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:13,360
It's happened. Android has been installed on an iPhone. So that's it. We

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,560
won everybody. Nice. Good job. Hit the showers. Hey. All right.

5
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:22,240
Okay. See you later. Yeah. No, I'm back. So here's the story.

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:28,080
David Wang and Chris Wade of Project Sand Castle have managed to run Android

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:30,080
10 on various models of iPhones. The

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:34,960
iPhone 7 offers the smoothest experience, but that is not saying much.

9
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:38,800
Now, the phone can boot up, but there is a ton of functionality missing. That's

10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:43,680
understandable, though. The developers had to write a ton of code from scratch

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:48,079
to run on Apple's proprietary hardware. This project is a particularly cheeky

12
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:52,399
one, too, as Wang and Wade are the co-founders of Corellium, a company

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:56,879
currently being sued by Apple for offering access to iOS virtual machines.

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:01,039
I mean, you're already in trouble, right? Like what? Why not just double

15
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:05,840
down? Keep on digging to the to the center of the earth.

16
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:10,880
AMD held their financial analyst day, also known as FAD, yesterday. And while

17
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,240
that sounds incredibly boring, I don't think it sounds boring my way, the

18
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:19,520
company actually dropped some intriguing details about their plans for 2020. Team

19
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:25,119
Red says we can expect new Radeon GPUs built on the RDNA2 architecture, also

20
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:28,880
known as Navi 2X. Apparently, that will finally hopefully address the high-end

21
00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:32,799
market and compete with NVIDIA who has just been kind of like sitting up there

22
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:37,360
going, "Yeah, I mean, look, Jensen, we can't all

23
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:41,119
afford 200 leather jackets so that we have a different one for every day of

24
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:45,119
the week." Just like NVIDIA, AMD will finally be splitting its GPU

25
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:49,680
architecture into RDNA for gaming cards and cDNA for compute cards, meaning we

26
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,200
could get performance improvements in both areas, although not at the same

27
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:58,320
time. And then on the CPU side of things, AMD is working on a 3D chip

28
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:03,920
stacking technology called X3D, which will reduce chip size and increase

29
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:06,399
bandwidth because X. And hey, as a

30
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:11,440
bonus, Ryzen 4000 series laptops will apparently have up to 18 hours of

31
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:18,160
battery life. Whoa, slow down there, Team Red. AMD is just like drunk on

32
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:20,640
popularity for the first time in like 15

33
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:23,440
years. They're making some big pro processors here. Is that

34
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:27,040
It's a big process. They're making some big promises here.

35
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,760
Our processors will even show you unconditional love. They didn't say that.

36
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:34,319
They'll make you coffee. And we didn't even mean to do this. But

37
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:38,879
meanwhile, in Intel land, things still suck. Security firm Positive

38
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:44,080
Technologies reports that almost all Intel chips from

39
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:48,080
the past 5 years have an unfixable security flaw right there in the

40
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:52,480
converged security and management engine or CSME. That's not positive at all.

41
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:57,120
That's hits me right where it hurts the most right in the CSME. The CSME is

42
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,680
important for various security measures like the trusted platform module,

43
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:06,080
authentication of BIOS firmware, and Bit Locker. The flaw reportedly cannot be

44
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:09,760
patched with a firmware update. And because of that, the researchers say

45
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:12,879
that it effectively undermines trust in Intel's platform as a whole. Where's the

46
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:19,200
positive part? Yeah. Whoopsies. Intel says that installing CSME and BIOS

47
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:23,280
updates should mitigate remote attacks, but that users could still be vulnerable

48
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:27,120
to attacks from anyone with physical access to the hardware. Although, that

49
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:30,959
is kind of always the case, isn't it? There have been so many stories about

50
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:35,680
flaws in Intel chips, I'm starting to brush them off now, you know. No, no,

51
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:39,680
I'm not at all. It's still a big deal. Yeah, whatever. And now it's time for the Quip Quaps

52
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:44,560
brought to you by Brilliant. Whether you're a student, a professional brushing up on cutting edge topics, or

53
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:48,319
just someone who wants to understand the world a little better, because who

54
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:52,080
doesn't? What's going on out there? Brilliant makes learning easy with

55
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:57,360
interactive explorations and a mobile app. And you know what, John? Why don't

56
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,480
you set a goal to improve yourself a little bit every day with Brilliant? I

57
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:04,640
think you'd probably like the introduction to neural networks course.

58
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,000
You can learn how wiring up just 50 neurons can build a network that's

59
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:12,480
capable of classifying handwritten digits. I mean, that's so John, you

60
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:17,120
know. Check out that course and many, many others by going to brilliant.org/techlink. The first 200

61
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:22,639
people to do so will get 20% off a premium subscription. To the quicks, we

62
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:26,160
shall go. In an effort to fight child exploitation online, Facebook, Google,

63
00:04:24,479 --> 00:04:28,720
Microsoft, and others have agreed to guidelines published by the US

64
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:33,120
Department of Justice and its counterparts in Australia, Canada, and

65
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:37,199
the UK. But two US senators on the judiciary committee are also introducing

66
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:42,560
a formal bill that they say aims to do the same thing by removing protections

67
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:46,639
for endto-end encryption. Ooh. And then there's another bill introduced by like

68
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:51,040
other senators that would remove likes from any content posted by children. So,

69
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:55,199
wow. It's going to be a pretty exciting time to be a kid. No one can like you

70
00:04:53,520 --> 00:05:00,960
and everyone can see what you're talking about. Hey, cancel watch continues.

71
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:04,320
TwitchCon has been cancelled. Minecraft Festival has been postponed, although

72
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:08,160
the live stream element will continue as planned. The launch of the Turbo

73
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,680
Graphics 15 mini console has been delayed. And Apple and Google are

74
00:05:09,919 --> 00:05:14,960
restricting apps from their respective app stores that are related to the

75
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:18,000
current health crisis. Wait, what? Why? Apparently, it's in order to prevent the

76
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:23,440
spread of misinformation. Yeah, anyone can make an app. But hey, LTX is still happening. As long

77
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:28,560
as it is still happening, we're we're keeping an eye on the situation. By the way, tickets went live today, so go

78
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:32,639
ahead and buy those. Sonos has seen the error of its ways and will not force

79
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,560
users to put their older speakers into recycle mode, effectively bricking them

80
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:40,560
in order to get a discounted upgrade to newer models. But at the same time,

81
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:45,440
Dillips is ending support for its circles-shaped Bridge V1 hub for its Hue

82
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:51,280
lighting system in favor of the new, more square Bridge V2. Kind of lame.

83
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:54,160
Great if you love squares. Looks like a sandwich. Or if you hate circles.

84
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:58,479
Oh, yeah. Space lettuce. NASA has reported that

85
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:04,160
experiments aboard the International Space Station yielded edible lettuce.

86
00:06:01,039 --> 00:06:08,080
Wow. So maybe civilians can have a taste

87
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:09,840
of lettuce um when SpaceX flies out

88
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:15,280
there and gets some and brings it back to us. Oh. Uh in 2021, you made it, space.

89
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:18,319
Congratulations. Have a salad. And researchers at the University of

90
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:22,639
Michigan have developed prosthetic technology which allows amputees to

91
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:27,120
control a hand with very little training. The method involves grafting

92
00:06:25,039 --> 00:06:31,919
muscle onto nerve endings in order to amplify the detectable signal. That is

93
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:37,120
there's no joke. at the end of this topic. It's just that's just cool. Wow.

94
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:41,360
Wow. I mean, if we're out of jokes, then we we're out of time. We're out.

95
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:47,039
We're out. Goodbye. Come back on Monday for more outrageous tech news that will

96
00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:48,080
blow your mind.

97
00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:50,560
Oh, like what? Well, I'm not How am I supposed to know?

98
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,360
Well, it's not Monday yet, is it? Oh, jeez. How am I supposed to come back
