1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:06,480
I I typed Tech news into the AI TechLink

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:10,639
script generator but I got all this Tik Tock news instead I mean I guess it

3
00:00:08,719 --> 00:00:15,480
sounds kind of sim I don't know I think it misheard me after the US Supreme

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,800
Court upheld the Tik Tock ban law last

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:23,359
week Tik Tok took its own apps and services offline in the us on Saturday

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:29,080
night serving users a popup explaining that a law Banning Tik Tok means that

7
00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:32,320
you can't use it it's very helpful I'm sure some people needed that clearly

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:37,079
laid out but by the following morning Tik Tok said they were restoring service

9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:43,000
thanks to the now inaugurated US president and freshly minted meme coin

10
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:45,160
Peddler Donald Trump it's not concerning

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:50,199
it's it's actually hilarious and and and so based um the president assured Tik

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:54,640
Tock that their service providers won't be punished but someone should probably

13
00:00:52,879 --> 00:00:59,680
tell that to Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and two Republican

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:02,519
Senators who promised to uphold the law

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:08,240
and Sue those same service providers the legal murkiness here is probably why Tik

16
00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:12,360
Tok is still not relisted on Google or Apple's app stores with apple publishing

17
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:17,400
a specific support document about the situation saying it is obligated to

18
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:23,079
follow the laws in the jurisdictions where it operates but I'm assuming Tim

19
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:26,280
Cook forgot to add and to add a few

20
00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:28,799
extra fees on top because you even

21
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:33,720
if Tik Tok isn't back on the App Stores yet it is on online but the same can't

22
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:38,960
be said for other apps owned by the same parent company bite dance including

23
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,920
mobile editing app cap cut which is just

24
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:46,200
fine with Instagram who published a cap cut competitor on the weekend called

25
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,920
edits worst of all gacha game Marvel

26
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:52,520
snap which is published by bite dance is still offline and before you finish

27
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:57,719
writing that comment telling me that it's not a gacha game I haven't played

28
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:02,280
it so I wouldn't know but it is so what the heck just happened why can't we ban

29
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:07,200
Tik Tok well one analyst told the Associated Press that by abruptly

30
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:13,520
shutting off service Tik Tok proved how unpopular the ban was among its

31
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:17,080
users which was a big surprise we thought they'd be completely on board

32
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:23,000
but it doesn't seem like Tik Tok is getting off scottf free Trump says he

33
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:25,080
wants an American entity to own 50% of

34
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,840
Tik Tok and after all this cruffle representatives of bite dance and the

35
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:34,560
Chinese government have indicated they are open to disc discuss this idea so

36
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,120
now we still have Tik Tok and rednote

37
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:42,120
the other Chinese app paying us influencers to promote it as a Tik Tok

38
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:47,280
replacement and as a bonus we also have new Tik Tock style Doom scrolly video

39
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:53,120
feeds on Blue Sky and Twitter but we don't need the Tik Tock Replacements now

40
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:56,080
can we can we roll those back uh now at

41
00:02:53,120 --> 00:03:00,319
the risk of sounding political I just think it's worth pointing out how many

42
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:05,879
big Tech CEOs were at Trump's inauguration Mark Zuckerberg Jeff Bezos

43
00:03:03,239 --> 00:03:13,040
Tim Cook Sundar Pichi and of course Elon Musk and even Tik Tok CEO Shu Z Chu this

44
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:18,360
doesn't usually happen and following Trump into a church service afterwards

45
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:22,120
is also a bit unusual and uncomfortable I mean the sensation of your skin

58
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,479
Tock Tech news Well if the AI says so

59
00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:23,840
okay if you're in the market for a ryzen x3d CPU beware fake versions of the

60
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:26,320
ryzen 79800 x3d are reportedly On The

61
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:30,280
Rise and while that's nothing new there's nothing worse than installing a

62
00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:35,000
new chip only to find find out its Secret Sauce is cheese whiz but when it

63
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:39,120
comes to robots China's Tech is a lot more impressive especially when it comes

64
00:04:36,759 --> 00:04:44,800
to running fast so this spring the country is set to hold the world's first

65
00:04:41,039 --> 00:04:46,720
human SL robot marathon in Beijing which

66
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:51,720
the South China Morning Post describes as part of efforts to combat the

67
00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:57,680
challenges of an aging society and a falling birth rate I I don't know how a

68
00:04:55,759 --> 00:05:02,919
robot Marathon will help with that but but I mean distract the sad people with

69
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:07,400
fast robots I don't hey I hope it works 3D printer manufacturer bamboo lab was

70
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:11,360
criticized this week for locking down its 3D printers blocking or making it

71
00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:16,479
very difficult to control them through thirdparty software some frustrated

72
00:05:14,039 --> 00:05:20,639
users soon managed to extract the authentication certificate for the

73
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:25,800
Bamboo Connect app and whether that had anything to do with it or not bamboo lab

74
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:30,280
actually backtracked or maybe they'd say they clarified that their recent update

75
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:35,160
will not block third party soft W but rather ensure it continues to work while

76
00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:40,280
enhancing security so you won't be hacked while making all those 3D printed

77
00:05:37,319 --> 00:05:45,000
guns the chief of europool the eu's primary law enforcement agency told the

78
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:49,759
financial times today that big Tech has a responsibility to give the police

79
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:54,160
access to criminals encrypted messages which the criminals use to remain

80
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:57,960
anonymous but if they're Anonymous how do you know they're

81
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,840
criminals ah just kidding this is a complicated issue but given that

82
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:05,360
government back doors led to Chinese hackers basically having unfettered

83
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:09,639
access to America's Communications networks and they're still in there I'm

84
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:15,840
just wondering what the real responsible thing to do is and last week somebody

85
00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:19,120
slapped Doom into a PDF this week it's

86
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:22,680
Microsoft Word yep software engineer voy

87
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,840
gry was apparently inspired by Doom PDF

88
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:31,160
to set up a VBA macro to display the game's frames asbm files in the document

89
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:34,880
it appears to run smoother than the pdf version so give it a shot if you're

90
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:39,160
looking to confuse your company's activity tracking software oh this guy
