WEBVTT

00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.680
oh don't even talk to me until I've had my tech news mostly because I would have

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:11.599
nothing to say without that it's basically empty up here Intel really

00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:16.320
wants you to know that they have not solved the instability issue with their

00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:21.240
high-end CPUs oh thank you last week Igor's lab published a report allegedly

00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:25.880
quoting confidential Intel documents those documents said the root cause of

00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:30.880
the instability is a bug in the micro code for ETB which is an Intel Raptor

00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:35.440
Lake feature that over clock's processor cores above the maximum turbo frequency

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:40.079
when the chip isn't facing thermal or power limits these Intel documents

00:00:37.480 --> 00:00:44.719
suggest this bug may have allowed chips to enter high performance States even

00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:48.719
when the chip was too hot to handle it it wasn't ready but someone had an issue

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:54.359
with Intel's Intel Intel team blue later told Tom's

00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:59.160
Hardware that this bug is not the only problem but rather a contributing factor

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:04.879
now this makes sense since the ETB feature is exclusive to core I9

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:09.119
processors and core i7 processors have also been facing instability issues but

00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:13.479
at least the company is making progress Intel confirmed to Tom's Hardware that

00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:18.000
they have a patch for the micro code bug that should at least help but a full

00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:22.840
solution requires more investigation which takes time I mean not everyone can

00:01:20.360 --> 00:01:27.360
crack a case like detective Adrien monk protagonist of the Emy winning series

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:32.200
monk starring Tony shaloo he's the best of us the US Department of Justice is

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:36.439
filing a lawsuit against Adobe on a referral from the FTC and weirdly the

00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:40.000
fact that Premier can't seem to go 5 minutes without crashing didn't factor

00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:44.960
into the decision at all the lawsuit alleges that adobe has harmed consumers

00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:49.680
by enrolling them in their annual paid monthly subscription plan by default

00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:54.159
without adequately disclosing that customers are agreeing to a year-long

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:58.000
commitment Adobe also doesn't make it clear that should you become concerned

00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:02.240
with said commitment and want to end it early it comes with a cancellation fee

00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:07.880
of hundreds of dollars according to the ftc's filing this early termination fee

00:02:05.039 --> 00:02:12.000
is only clearly disclosed once subscribers actually try to cancel which

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:17.959
sounds less like a service and more like an extortion racket thus uh the lawsuit

00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:21.879
the FTC even called out the delays and resistance consumers have reported

00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:26.200
facing when contacting customer service directly so hopefully that means the

00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:30.840
next company to face the FTC is every other company with the customer service

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:32.879
department except ours LTD st.com I

00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:36.800
legally have to say that AMD is getting called out for publishing incredibly

00:02:34.920 --> 00:02:44.200
misleading benchmarks for some of its new CPUs although new is a relative term

00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:47.519
AMD announced new ryzen 5000 CPUs

00:02:44.200 --> 00:02:49.560
alongside the arguably newer ryzen 9000

00:02:47.519 --> 00:02:56.720
series of chips now AMD's benchmarks showed their newly announced ryzen 75800

00:02:52.959 --> 00:03:00.040
XT beating Intel's last gen Core i5

00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:03.159
13600 K while they're similarly new with

00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:06.599
an asterisk ryzen 95900 XT was shown

00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:08.440
beating the core i7 13700 K Hardware

00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:15.120
unboxed had something to say about this during a Q&A video after a fan going by

00:03:11.480 --> 00:03:18.519
Le brought up that the GPU AMD used for

00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:21.120
these tests was a underpowered Radeon RX

00:03:18.519 --> 00:03:26.480
6600 Now by doing this AMD made the performance bottleneck the GPU not the

00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:31.879
CPU and since AMD processors work better with AMD graphics cards the new zen3

00:03:29.799 --> 00:03:36.480
iips looked better than Intel's more recent 13th gen now to be fair Intel is

00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:40.360
getting a little taste of their own medicine here they're also a fan of

00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:44.400
misleading benchmarks the company famously tried to argue that thirdparty

00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:49.680
benchmarks don't represent real world desktop usage using data they gathered

00:03:47.239 --> 00:03:54.280
from notebook users more recently team blue was also accused of artificially

00:03:51.840 --> 00:04:00.239
inflating Benchmark results for its Zeon server processors so moral of the story

00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:02.519
here trust no one never leave your house

00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:06.360
or just wait for independent reviews that that's better my advice you should

00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:11.079
also wait for me to finish telling you about our sponsor Jawa they make getting

00:04:08.760 --> 00:04:14.840

graphics cards Jaa makes it easy to sell your old rig or buy one from an

00:04:39.320 --> 00:04:46.800
experienced Builder so check them out using the link below ah you must be here

00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:49.400
for the quick pits um I just I swear I

00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:54.479
swear I just had them one second oh they're in my other pants proton the

00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:59.000
company that asked the question what if Google didn't want to suck up all your

00:04:56.440 --> 00:05:04.000
data M has announced it's transitioning to a non nonprofit foundational

00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:09.039
structure this new proton foundation will own the pre-existing proton AG

00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:13.080
Corporation they're not the first company to do this I mean the most

00:05:10.880 --> 00:05:17.759
famous example is probably open AI but Firefox developer Mozilla also has a

00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:22.479
for-profit subsidiary which recently expanded with the purchase of anonym a

00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:27.360
startup apparently specializing in privacy preserving advertising okay

00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:32.240
there aren't any plans to introduce anonyms Tech in mozilla's web browser

00:05:29.880 --> 00:05:39.000
yet but you never know what the future might hold it's like that old proverb

00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:41.680
inside of you there are two firef foxes

00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:46.639
Tik Tok wants to sell ads using AI generated avatars because of course they

00:05:44.520 --> 00:05:51.479
do what if that sentence was going to be about anyone of course it's Tik Tok the

00:05:48.520 --> 00:05:57.840
company's Symphony digital avatars come in two flavors stock or custom while

00:05:55.039 --> 00:06:02.160
stock avatars are based on paid actors custom avatars can be used to to

00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:06.680
represent a specific Creator or brand spokesperson or a version of them that

00:06:05.080 --> 00:06:11.199
suddenly lost the ability to sound enthusiastic or move like an actual

00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:15.240
human being what if that happened that's a sci-fi movie I want to see the custom

00:06:13.400 --> 00:06:19.560
avatars can even speak multiple languages allowing advertisers to

00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:24.199
unsettle virtually anyone speaking of Tik Tok now that the Tik Tok ban law has

00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:30.280
been passed the US government has set its sights on another prominent Chinese

00:06:26.440 --> 00:06:32.400
company DJI maker of 70% of the world's

00:06:30.280 --> 00:06:38.039
drones the House of Representatives passed the countering CCP drones act on

00:06:35.479 --> 00:06:43.720
Friday if also passed by the Senate the bill would ban DJI drones from using FCC

00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:49.120
allotted frequencies effectively making their sale and operation illegal

00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:53.280
especially for filming aerial Tik toks that's not that's not going to fly now

00:06:51.520 --> 00:06:57.960
both companies are being targeted due to concerns they spying on Americans for

00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:02.479
the CCP and wouldn't you rather use a quality American M drum that will spy on

00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:07.400
Americans for the White House hurah researchers have created renewable

00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:10.000
energy using living organisms that

00:07:07.400 --> 00:07:14.160
doesn't sound that crazy heard of a bike uh what we're actually talking about

00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:18.319
here is electricity scientists in Canada were able to create cells containing

00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:22.840
algae that could capture electrons created during photosynthesis now since

00:07:20.520 --> 00:07:26.520
the tech pulls carbon dioxide out of the air it's not carbon neutral it's

00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:30.520
actually better it's carbon negative now the maximum terminal voltage is only one

00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:35.800
volt right now but the technology could be used to power ultra low power devices

00:07:32.840 --> 00:07:41.319
like iot sensors but it raises questions like will humans eventually worry about

00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:43.360
whether their batteries are vegan a fun

00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:46.840
fact they already do big shout out to gelatin for being in literally

00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:50.800
everything and researchers at the University of Texas are making progress

00:07:49.039 --> 00:07:55.520
on technology that would give smartphones x-ray vision at press time

00:07:54.080 --> 00:08:00.440
it was unclear whether anyone had consulted mathematician Ian Malcolm it's

00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:04.879
a real can versus should situation well at least the tech isn't actually using

00:08:02.520 --> 00:08:11.280
biologically harmful x-rays but rather Wireless signals in the 200 to 400 GHz

00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:15.159
range and so far the most solid thing researchers were able to see through is

00:08:12.960 --> 00:08:20.159
a cardboard sheet uh they had better luck looking through thick dust clouds

00:08:17.039 --> 00:08:22.159
and dense fog and yeah you may laugh but

00:08:20.159 --> 00:08:29.120
Thomas Jane would have loved to have this Tech in the 2007 horror film The

00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:31.520
Mist too bad he missed it just like how

00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:37.959
I'll miss you if you don't come back on Wednesday for more Tech news I get

00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.959
lonely okay I have needs
