00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.160
These eight tech news stories are unbelievable. Wait till you see number

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:09.679
five. She didn't know the camera was rolling.

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:13.360
It's happened. Android has been installed on an iPhone. So that's it. We

00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:16.560
won everybody. Nice. Good job. Hit the showers. Hey. All right.

00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:22.240
Okay. See you later. Yeah. No, I'm back. So here's the story.

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:28.080
David Wang and Chris Wade of Project Sand Castle have managed to run Android

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:30.080
10 on various models of iPhones. The

00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:34.960
iPhone 7 offers the smoothest experience, but that is not saying much.

00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:38.800
Now, the phone can boot up, but there is a ton of functionality missing. That's

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:43.680
understandable, though. The developers had to write a ton of code from scratch

00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:48.079
to run on Apple's proprietary hardware. This project is a particularly cheeky

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:52.399
one, too, as Wang and Wade are the co-founders of Corellium, a company

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:56.879
currently being sued by Apple for offering access to iOS virtual machines.

00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:01.039
I mean, you're already in trouble, right? Like what? Why not just double

00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:05.840
down? Keep on digging to the to the center of the earth.

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:10.880
AMD held their financial analyst day, also known as FAD, yesterday. And while

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:14.240
that sounds incredibly boring, I don't think it sounds boring my way, the

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:19.520
company actually dropped some intriguing details about their plans for 2020. Team

00:01:17.119 --> 00:01:25.119
Red says we can expect new Radeon GPUs built on the RDNA2 architecture, also

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:28.880
known as Navi 2X. Apparently, that will finally hopefully address the high-end

00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:32.799
market and compete with NVIDIA who has just been kind of like sitting up there

00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:37.360
going, "Yeah, I mean, look, Jensen, we can't all

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:41.119
afford 200 leather jackets so that we have a different one for every day of

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:45.119
the week." Just like NVIDIA, AMD will finally be splitting its GPU

00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:49.680
architecture into RDNA for gaming cards and cDNA for compute cards, meaning we

00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:53.200
could get performance improvements in both areas, although not at the same

00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:58.320
time. And then on the CPU side of things, AMD is working on a 3D chip

00:01:55.520 --> 00:02:03.920
stacking technology called X3D, which will reduce chip size and increase

00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:06.399
bandwidth because X. And hey, as a

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:11.440
bonus, Ryzen 4000 series laptops will apparently have up to 18 hours of

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:18.160
battery life. Whoa, slow down there, Team Red. AMD is just like drunk on

00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:20.640
popularity for the first time in like 15

00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:23.440
years. They're making some big pro processors here. Is that

00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:27.040
It's a big process. They're making some big promises here.

00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:29.760
Our processors will even show you unconditional love. They didn't say that.

00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:34.319
They'll make you coffee. And we didn't even mean to do this. But

00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:38.879
meanwhile, in Intel land, things still suck. Security firm Positive

00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:44.080
Technologies reports that almost all Intel chips from

00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:48.080
the past 5 years have an unfixable security flaw right there in the

00:02:46.160 --> 00:02:52.480
converged security and management engine or CSME. That's not positive at all.

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

00:02:55.440 --> 00:03:01.680
important for various security measures like the trusted platform module,

00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:06.080
authentication of BIOS firmware, and Bit Locker. The flaw reportedly cannot be

00:03:04.239 --> 00:03:09.760
patched with a firmware update. And because of that, the researchers say

00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:12.879
that it effectively undermines trust in Intel's platform as a whole. Where's the

00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:19.200
positive part? Yeah. Whoopsies. Intel says that installing CSME and BIOS

00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:23.280
updates should mitigate remote attacks, but that users could still be vulnerable

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:27.120
to attacks from anyone with physical access to the hardware. Although, that

00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:30.959
is kind of always the case, isn't it? There have been so many stories about

00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:35.680
flaws in Intel chips, I'm starting to brush them off now, you know. No, no,

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

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

00:03:42.799 --> 00:03:48.319
just someone who wants to understand the world a little better, because who

00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:52.080
doesn't? What's going on out there? Brilliant makes learning easy with

00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:57.360
interactive explorations and a mobile app. And you know what, John? Why don't

00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:00.480
you set a goal to improve yourself a little bit every day with Brilliant? I

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:04.640
think you'd probably like the introduction to neural networks course.

00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:08.000
You can learn how wiring up just 50 neurons can build a network that's

00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:12.480
capable of classifying handwritten digits. I mean, that's so John, you

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

00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:22.639
people to do so will get 20% off a premium subscription. To the quicks, we

00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:26.160
shall go. In an effort to fight child exploitation online, Facebook, Google,

00:04:24.479 --> 00:04:28.720
Microsoft, and others have agreed to guidelines published by the US

00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:33.120
Department of Justice and its counterparts in Australia, Canada, and

00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:37.199
the UK. But two US senators on the judiciary committee are also introducing

00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:42.560
a formal bill that they say aims to do the same thing by removing protections

00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:46.639
for endto-end encryption. Ooh. And then there's another bill introduced by like

00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:51.040
other senators that would remove likes from any content posted by children. So,

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

00:04:53.520 --> 00:05:00.960
and everyone can see what you're talking about. Hey, cancel watch continues.

00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:04.320
TwitchCon has been cancelled. Minecraft Festival has been postponed, although

00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:08.160
the live stream element will continue as planned. The launch of the Turbo

00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:11.680
Graphics 15 mini console has been delayed. And Apple and Google are

00:05:09.919 --> 00:05:14.960
restricting apps from their respective app stores that are related to the

00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:18.000
current health crisis. Wait, what? Why? Apparently, it's in order to prevent the

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

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

00:05:26.320 --> 00:05:32.639
ahead and buy those. Sonos has seen the error of its ways and will not force

00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:36.560
users to put their older speakers into recycle mode, effectively bricking them

00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:40.560
in order to get a discounted upgrade to newer models. But at the same time,

00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:45.440
Dillips is ending support for its circles-shaped Bridge V1 hub for its Hue

00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:51.280
lighting system in favor of the new, more square Bridge V2. Kind of lame.

00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:54.160
Great if you love squares. Looks like a sandwich. Or if you hate circles.

00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:58.479
Oh, yeah. Space lettuce. NASA has reported that

00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:04.160
experiments aboard the International Space Station yielded edible lettuce.

00:06:01.039 --> 00:06:08.080
Wow. So maybe civilians can have a taste

00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:09.840
of lettuce um when SpaceX flies out

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.

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:18.319
Congratulations. Have a salad. And researchers at the University of

00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:22.639
Michigan have developed prosthetic technology which allows amputees to

00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:27.120
control a hand with very little training. The method involves grafting

00:06:25.039 --> 00:06:31.919
muscle onto nerve endings in order to amplify the detectable signal. That is

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.

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.

00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:47.039
We're out. Goodbye. Come back on Monday for more outrageous tech news that will

00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:48.080
blow your mind.

00:06:47.039 --> 00:06:50.560
Oh, like what? Well, I'm not How am I supposed to know?

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
