00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:06.480
I I typed Tech news into the AI TechLink

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:10.639
script generator but I got all this Tik Tock news instead I mean I guess it

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

00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:17.800
Court upheld the Tik Tock ban law last

00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:23.359
week Tik Tok took its own apps and services offline in the us on Saturday

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:29.080
night serving users a popup explaining that a law Banning Tik Tok means that

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

00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:37.079
laid out but by the following morning Tik Tok said they were restoring service

00:00:34.760 --> 00:00:43.000
thanks to the now inaugurated US president and freshly minted meme coin

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:45.160
Peddler Donald Trump it's not concerning

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:50.199
it's it's actually hilarious and and and so based um the president assured Tik

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:54.640
Tock that their service providers won't be punished but someone should probably

00:00:52.879 --> 00:00:59.680
tell that to Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and two Republican

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:02.519
Senators who promised to uphold the law

00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:08.240
and Sue those same service providers the legal murkiness here is probably why Tik

00:01:05.320 --> 00:01:12.360
Tok is still not relisted on Google or Apple's app stores with apple publishing

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:17.400
a specific support document about the situation saying it is obligated to

00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:23.079
follow the laws in the jurisdictions where it operates but I'm assuming Tim

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:26.280
Cook forgot to add and to add a few

00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:28.799
extra fees on top because you even

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

00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:38.960
be said for other apps owned by the same parent company bite dance including

00:01:35.880 --> 00:01:40.920
mobile editing app cap cut which is just

00:01:38.960 --> 00:01:46.200
fine with Instagram who published a cap cut competitor on the weekend called

00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:48.920
edits worst of all gacha game Marvel

00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:52.520
snap which is published by bite dance is still offline and before you finish

00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:57.719
writing that comment telling me that it's not a gacha game I haven't played

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

00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:07.200
Tik Tok well one analyst told the Associated Press that by abruptly

00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:13.520
shutting off service Tik Tok proved how unpopular the ban was among its

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:17.080
users which was a big surprise we thought they'd be completely on board

00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:23.000
but it doesn't seem like Tik Tok is getting off scottf free Trump says he

00:02:19.480 --> 00:02:25.080
wants an American entity to own 50% of

00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:28.840
Tik Tok and after all this cruffle representatives of bite dance and the

00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:34.560
Chinese government have indicated they are open to disc discuss this idea so

00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:37.120
now we still have Tik Tok and rednote

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:42.120
the other Chinese app paying us influencers to promote it as a Tik Tok

00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:47.280
replacement and as a bonus we also have new Tik Tock style Doom scrolly video

00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:53.120
feeds on Blue Sky and Twitter but we don't need the Tik Tock Replacements now

00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:56.080
can we can we roll those back uh now at

00:02:53.120 --> 00:03:00.319
the risk of sounding political I just think it's worth pointing out how many

00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:05.879
big Tech CEOs were at Trump's inauguration Mark Zuckerberg Jeff Bezos

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

00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:18.360
doesn't usually happen and following Trump into a church service afterwards

00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:22.120
is also a bit unusual and uncomfortable I mean the sensation of your skin

00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:26.480

00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:16.479
Tock Tech news Well if the AI says so

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

00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:26.320
ryzen 79800 x3d are reportedly On The

00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:30.280
Rise and while that's nothing new there's nothing worse than installing a

00:04:28.479 --> 00:04:35.000
new chip only to find find out its Secret Sauce is cheese whiz but when it

00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:39.120
comes to robots China's Tech is a lot more impressive especially when it comes

00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:44.800
to running fast so this spring the country is set to hold the world's first

00:04:41.039 --> 00:04:46.720
human SL robot marathon in Beijing which

00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:51.720
the South China Morning Post describes as part of efforts to combat the

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

00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:02.919
robot Marathon will help with that but but I mean distract the sad people with

00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:07.400
fast robots I don't hey I hope it works 3D printer manufacturer bamboo lab was

00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:11.360
criticized this week for locking down its 3D printers blocking or making it

00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:16.479
very difficult to control them through thirdparty software some frustrated

00:05:14.039 --> 00:05:20.639
users soon managed to extract the authentication certificate for the

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:25.800
Bamboo Connect app and whether that had anything to do with it or not bamboo lab

00:05:23.080 --> 00:05:30.280
actually backtracked or maybe they'd say they clarified that their recent update

00:05:28.080 --> 00:05:35.160
will not block third party soft W but rather ensure it continues to work while

00:05:32.840 --> 00:05:40.280
enhancing security so you won't be hacked while making all those 3D printed

00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:45.000
guns the chief of europool the eu's primary law enforcement agency told the

00:05:42.440 --> 00:05:49.759
financial times today that big Tech has a responsibility to give the police

00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:54.160
access to criminals encrypted messages which the criminals use to remain

00:05:51.400 --> 00:05:57.960
anonymous but if they're Anonymous how do you know they're

00:05:55.520 --> 00:06:01.840
criminals ah just kidding this is a complicated issue but given that

00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:05.360
government back doors led to Chinese hackers basically having unfettered

00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:09.639
access to America's Communications networks and they're still in there I'm

00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:15.840
just wondering what the real responsible thing to do is and last week somebody

00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:19.120
slapped Doom into a PDF this week it's

00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:22.680
Microsoft Word yep software engineer voy

00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:24.840
gry was apparently inspired by Doom PDF

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

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

00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:39.160
looking to confuse your company's activity tracking software oh this guy

00:06:36.919 --> 00:06:43.000
