00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.640
you know i like my tech moves with lots and lots of lube

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:13.599
yep you need lots of lube so the tech news goes down smooth don't drink lube

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:16.880
after a long history of being criticized over how difficult they've made

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:21.680
repairing their own products apple has finally announced a self-service repair

00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:27.199
program that will let you fix your iphones and macs at home without voiding

00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:31.760
your warranty the program will offer official tools parts and manuals from

00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:36.399
apple and will initially allow for repairs of the display camera and

00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:40.559
batteries the three parts that consumers most often find themselves having issues

00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:44.239
with apple expects to add more parts to the program later but for now it looks

00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:49.760
like self-service repair will be launching early next year in the u.s and

00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:51.840
then later in 2022 outside the us there

00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:56.800
is no word yet on what the parts will cost but hopefully

00:00:54.879 --> 00:01:00.559
apple won't charge us an ARM and a leg if it wants to get ahead of right to

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:04.879
repair laws that may be coming down the pipe microsoft is going to be slinging

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:08.479
out Windows 11 upgrades a little bit more quickly moving forward if you've

00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:11.760
been waiting around for a long time to get offered Windows 11 through Windows

00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:14.960
update you might want to check again because microsoft has announced an

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:21.119
accelerated rollout for computers running both version 2004 of Windows 10

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:26.320
or newer and the servicing update from september 14 2021 so bottom line update

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:30.720
your Windows 10 installation and you might see Windows 11 offered to you of

00:01:28.479 --> 00:01:36.640
course you can just go and download the Windows 11 upgrade manually don't do

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:40.400
that or you could just not and

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:43.600
speaking of not at all not at another

00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:45.520
Intel chip security flaw this time it

00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:49.600
affects lower power chips including celeron pentium and atom chips with the

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:54.640
apollo lake and gemini lake architectures even if you're running a powerful

00:01:52.399 --> 00:01:58.399
high-end gaming system though it could end up affecting you because there are

00:01:56.479 --> 00:02:03.840
tons of these lower powered chips out there including in laptops and tablets

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:08.000
and even cars the good news though is that an attacker would need physical

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:12.000
access to the compromised system so a random attacker a thousand miles away

00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:16.000
isn't exactly gonna make your car start driving around on its own

00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:19.440
however the vulnerability does make it relatively easy for someone who knows

00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:23.599
what they're doing to steal security keys so be sure to install the Intel

00:02:22.239 --> 00:02:28.560
update which should be available in either a BIOS update for your motherboard or from your device

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:32.160
manufacturer or if you're in a car i guess you can just go screw yourself

00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:34.879
because car manufacturers don't update their stuff

00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:38.879
that's true but you drive a tesla now it's time for quick bits brought to you

00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:43.840
by brilliant the website and app that makes learning stem accessible and fun

00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:48.239
now if you're more of an artsy creative type like me that might seem impossible

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:51.920
but brilliant uses active learning with problem solving and interactive visual

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:56.319
concepts it's like squooshing pain around on a canvas but oh i just

00:02:54.160 --> 00:03:01.280
calculated pie delicious there's over 60 courses like

00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:04.879
algorithm fundamentals or programming with python that will help you gain

00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:09.200
useful skills and a deeper understanding of how our world works but none of them

00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:14.239
have harsh grading long lectures or strict time limits because those things

00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:18.640
suck go to brilliant.org techlink to join brilliance community of 8 million

00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:23.120
learners and educators and the first 200 people will save 20 off a year of stem

00:03:21.040 --> 00:03:29.280
learning so check them out on to the buttquakes xbox game pass

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:34.799
cloud gaming is now available as a beta in 25 different countries as of today

00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:39.040
although you could get access to it before today you had to be part of one

00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:42.480
of xbox's alpha channel programs meaning that if you try it out now you should

00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:47.120
experience a more polished version of the software not all consoles in the available

00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:51.680
countries will have access immediately but they should in the coming weeks

00:03:49.519 --> 00:03:57.760
and if you're in the uk a big heads up as amazon is going to stop accepting uk

00:03:54.720 --> 00:04:00.319
issued visa cards in mid-january which

00:03:57.760 --> 00:04:03.439
is sort of weird uh the good news is that you can still use your visa for

00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:07.680
holiday shopping this year but you will be cut off after that as amazon is

00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:12.159
apparently upset about the high processing fees that visa reportedly

00:04:09.920 --> 00:04:15.280
charges of course the companies are going to try to resolve the matter but

00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:18.880
in the meantime for everything else there's mastercard is that the thing hey

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:25.199
in the meantime amazon wants your christmas money speaking of amazon they're also involved in another dispute

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:31.040
with concert performers of all people over their amazon one palm scanning

00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:36.240
technology venues are using it to expedite entry by allowing guests to

00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:38.320
scan their hands instead of a ticket but

00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:43.040
musical artists and activists are decrying the move concerned that amazon

00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:47.840
may abuse the biometric data by sending it to governments or that amazon simply

00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:50.800
isn't doing enough to secure it no word yet though on whether venues will

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:54.400
actually be pressured into changing their minds the government knows you

00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:57.759
like coldplay pixel 6 owners have been commenting on the poor performance of

00:04:56.080 --> 00:05:02.160
the fingerprint scanner but there's good news google has pushed out a surprising

00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:05.840
update that reportedly makes the scanner operate more consistently and more

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:09.440
reliably especially if you've got a screen protector between it and your

00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:13.680
finger users can download the update directly from google if they haven't

00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:18.400
gotten it yet and finally the first ever youtube video uploaded by co-founder

00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:22.639
jawed kareem i hope i pronounced that right has been edited yet again

00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:27.600
following youtube's move to remove public dislike counts karim updated the

00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:31.840
video description blasting the change saying that it'll hurt the platform's

00:05:29.039 --> 00:05:35.840
ability to identify bad content he is correct youtube says it is trying to

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:39.840
promote more respectful interactions on the platform but they might be fighting

00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:46.160
a losing battle on that front if comment sections are going to remain

00:05:43.440 --> 00:05:50.240
um yeah i think i've made my stance on all that very clear just like i made my

00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:52.800
stance on the end of this episode clear it's over
