00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:08,880
i don't want to spoil today's episode but here's a hint

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:10,160
it's got something to do with tech news

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:14,960
we're going to start off with something other than apple and epic for once and

4
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:18,080
that's uber and lyft on monday the two ride sharing companies were officially

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:23,760
ordered by a california judge to reclassify their drivers as employees

6
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:27,439
rather than independent contractors uber and lyft both said they'd have to

7
00:00:25,279 --> 00:00:31,119
suspend operations as a result because they couldn't just adapt their

8
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:34,880
infrastructure within the 10-day limit allocated by the order but an appeals

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:39,760
court ruling has since allowed the companies to keep operating

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:43,120
the skirmish comes after years of debate over whether ride-sharing startups can

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:48,399
legally treat their drivers as contractors when many of them feel their

12
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:52,559
employees by another name and the story comes just as uber's former security

13
00:00:50,559 --> 00:00:56,480
chief is being charged with obstruction of justice for hiding the company's 2016

14
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:01,199
security breach from the ftc if you're angry about all

15
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:05,920
this and you just want to do something you could boycott uber

16
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:10,960
i'm sure that's much easier than normal right now so

17
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:15,119
okay but now i guess we are going back to apple and epic news publishers are

18
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:19,759
now joining the brawl over the app store's 30 cut trade organization

19
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:22,880
digital content next which represents dozens of publishers including the

20
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,560
washington post and the new york times has written an open letter essentially

21
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:31,040
asking apple hey what's the deal man with the specific

22
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:35,439
deal in question being the smaller fifteen percent cut that apple asked of

23
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:39,119
amazon's prime video fortnite is still on the offensive as well holding the

24
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:44,159
hashtag free fortnight terminate terminant it's a tournament this weekend

25
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,439
tournament offering prizes such as the evil apple-headed tyrant from the 1984

26
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:54,320
parody video and a free fortnight hat like like a physical hat but apple has

27
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:59,280
also taken action filing a declaration essentially accusing epic of fabricating

28
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:04,719
this whole scandal which it totally did to be fair apple revealed emails from

29
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,040
epic ceo tim sweeney asking tim apple to

30
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:10,560
exempt fortnite from the 30 cut before the whole thing started pretty weasley

31
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:15,440
moves but again here's your daily reminder that it's okay to hate both

32
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:20,080
apple and epic in this situation in fact if you do that means you're really smart

33
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:24,640
rick sanchez would be proud and back to our other favorite topic recently

34
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:30,000
tik tok the social app announced that it deleted more than 380 000 videos and

35
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:33,519
banned around 1 300 accounts this year for violating the platform's hate speech

36
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,720
rules which i'm sure they would have done if they weren't under threat of

37
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,959
being banned in the u.s we'll never know it also recently came

38
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:45,200
out that google parent company alphabet considered bidding for an acquisition of

39
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,800
tick-tock but ultimately decided against it being acquired by either microsoft or

40
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:53,040
oracle looks to be tick-tock's way out of the ban but even if neither of those

41
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:56,319
deals goes through tick-tock says they will continue operating in the country

42
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,920
with a company executive saying that they have multiple paths forward to keep

43
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:05,519
running i mean i guess that's what i would say too it's good to know that no matter what happens waves will still be

44
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,879
able to recreate anime dances because if you can't do that

45
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,560
are you really living is this even a free country now it's time for the quick

46
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:16,480
bits brought to you by privacy just straight up abstract concept privacy

47
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:20,159
just joking it's the free service that allows you to generate virtual credit

48
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,440

down take a long drag on a quick bit

55
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:53,840
that's smooth look at this leaked photo of the GeForce

56
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,840
rtx 3090 next to an rtx 2080 it's huge

57
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:59,760
not only is it a triple slot instead of a double slot card but it's also way

58
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:03,200
taller and beefier in general so if chunkiness is any indicator of the

59
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:07,599
performance then this thing is going to fly through games like a chungus through

60
00:04:04,959 --> 00:04:11,840
jelly it's a chalky boy okay now look at these renders of the google pixel 5

61
00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:16,239
created by on leaks and indian tech site price baba based on the information

62
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:20,320
that's leaked so far it basically looks like a pixel 4a but with the sparkly

63
00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:23,759
looking texture and dual rear cameras instead of just one but if you like

64
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,840
getting overly excited for things that will probably end up being

65
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:32,479
just okay then hey eat your heart out okay

66
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:36,400
fine that's not fair sparkles are pretty cool sony has revealed some more info

67
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,759
about the ps5 controller's extra features saying that it'll be able to do

68
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:43,280
things like lock the triggers in place when your gun jams in game that's

69
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:47,120
actually pretty sick experiencing not just virtual but physical frustration

70
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:51,280
from what sounds like an irritating game mechanic i i can't help but be excited

71
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:57,840
hopefully the ps6 controller will be able to teabag me after i get pwned too

72
00:04:54,320 --> 00:05:00,080
yeah man 505 games the publisher of the

73
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:04,000
highly acclaimed control has attempted to explain why it had to limit free

74
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:08,639
next-gen upgrades to the ultimate edition of that title its justification

75
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:12,320
that it couldn't let players upgrade from the non-ultimate edition to the

76
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:18,320
ultimate edition because they're technically separate titles and to do that would be

77
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:24,320
to compromise the very structure of reality itself no way to just like

78
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:28,880
sorry their hands are tied and a fighter jet ai built by heron systems just beat

79
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:33,840
a human pilot five nothing in darpa's alpha dogfight

80
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:36,880
trials after it defeated at least seven other ai systems and i don't know how

81
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,560
many times we've said this on this channel but i'll say it again stealth

82
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:43,280
watch the movie stealth riley must have written that

83
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:48,320
because i actually haven't seen the movie if he thinks it's so good maybe we should cover on carpool critics our

84
00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:51,680
movie podcast which happens to be having its biggest day ever right now

85
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:55,919
apparently the new episode is pretty sick so you guys should go listen to it

86
00:05:53,919 --> 00:06:02,479
or even watch it on youtube carpool critics and come back on monday we'll have other

87
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:05,120
people giving you other news equally fun

88
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:05,120
almost
