00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:08.880
i don't want to spoil today's episode but here's a hint

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:10.160
it's got something to do with tech news

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:14.960
we're going to start off with something other than apple and epic for once and

00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:18.080
that's uber and lyft on monday the two ride sharing companies were officially

00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:23.760
ordered by a california judge to reclassify their drivers as employees

00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:27.439
rather than independent contractors uber and lyft both said they'd have to

00:00:25.279 --> 00:00:31.119
suspend operations as a result because they couldn't just adapt their

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:34.880
infrastructure within the 10-day limit allocated by the order but an appeals

00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:39.760
court ruling has since allowed the companies to keep operating

00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:43.120
the skirmish comes after years of debate over whether ride-sharing startups can

00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:48.399
legally treat their drivers as contractors when many of them feel their

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:52.559
employees by another name and the story comes just as uber's former security

00:00:50.559 --> 00:00:56.480
chief is being charged with obstruction of justice for hiding the company's 2016

00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:01.199
security breach from the ftc if you're angry about all

00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:05.920
this and you just want to do something you could boycott uber

00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:10.960
i'm sure that's much easier than normal right now so

00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:15.119
okay but now i guess we are going back to apple and epic news publishers are

00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:19.759
now joining the brawl over the app store's 30 cut trade organization

00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:22.880
digital content next which represents dozens of publishers including the

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:26.560
washington post and the new york times has written an open letter essentially

00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:31.040
asking apple hey what's the deal man with the specific

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:35.439
deal in question being the smaller fifteen percent cut that apple asked of

00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:39.119
amazon's prime video fortnite is still on the offensive as well holding the

00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:44.159
hashtag free fortnight terminate terminant it's a tournament this weekend

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:49.439
tournament offering prizes such as the evil apple-headed tyrant from the 1984

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:54.320
parody video and a free fortnight hat like like a physical hat but apple has

00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:59.280
also taken action filing a declaration essentially accusing epic of fabricating

00:01:56.960 --> 00:02:04.719
this whole scandal which it totally did to be fair apple revealed emails from

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:07.040
epic ceo tim sweeney asking tim apple to

00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:10.560
exempt fortnite from the 30 cut before the whole thing started pretty weasley

00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:15.440
moves but again here's your daily reminder that it's okay to hate both

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

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:24.640
rick sanchez would be proud and back to our other favorite topic recently

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:30.000
tik tok the social app announced that it deleted more than 380 000 videos and

00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:33.519
banned around 1 300 accounts this year for violating the platform's hate speech

00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:36.720
rules which i'm sure they would have done if they weren't under threat of

00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:40.959
being banned in the u.s we'll never know it also recently came

00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:45.200
out that google parent company alphabet considered bidding for an acquisition of

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:48.800
tick-tock but ultimately decided against it being acquired by either microsoft or

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

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:56.319
deals goes through tick-tock says they will continue operating in the country

00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:59.920
with a company executive saying that they have multiple paths forward to keep

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

00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:08.879
able to recreate anime dances because if you can't do that

00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:12.560

bits brought to you by privacy just straight up abstract concept privacy

down take a long drag on a quick bit

00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:53.840
that's smooth look at this leaked photo of the GeForce

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:55.840
rtx 3090 next to an rtx 2080 it's huge

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

00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:03.200
taller and beefier in general so if chunkiness is any indicator of the

00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:07.599
performance then this thing is going to fly through games like a chungus through

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

00:04:09.519 --> 00:04:16.239
created by on leaks and indian tech site price baba based on the information

00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:20.320
that's leaked so far it basically looks like a pixel 4a but with the sparkly

00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:23.759
looking texture and dual rear cameras instead of just one but if you like

00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:26.840
getting overly excited for things that will probably end up being

00:04:25.440 --> 00:04:32.479
just okay then hey eat your heart out okay

00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:36.400
fine that's not fair sparkles are pretty cool sony has revealed some more info

00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:39.759
about the ps5 controller's extra features saying that it'll be able to do

00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:43.280
things like lock the triggers in place when your gun jams in game that's

00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:47.120
actually pretty sick experiencing not just virtual but physical frustration

00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:51.280
from what sounds like an irritating game mechanic i i can't help but be excited

00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:57.840
hopefully the ps6 controller will be able to teabag me after i get pwned too

00:04:54.320 --> 00:05:00.080
yeah man 505 games the publisher of the

00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:04.000
highly acclaimed control has attempted to explain why it had to limit free

00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:08.639
next-gen upgrades to the ultimate edition of that title its justification

00:05:06.880 --> 00:05:12.320
that it couldn't let players upgrade from the non-ultimate edition to the

00:05:10.880 --> 00:05:18.320
ultimate edition because they're technically separate titles and to do that would be

00:05:15.840 --> 00:05:24.320
to compromise the very structure of reality itself no way to just like

00:05:21.520 --> 00:05:28.880
sorry their hands are tied and a fighter jet ai built by heron systems just beat

00:05:27.440 --> 00:05:33.840
a human pilot five nothing in darpa's alpha dogfight

00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:36.880
trials after it defeated at least seven other ai systems and i don't know how

00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:40.560
many times we've said this on this channel but i'll say it again stealth

00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.280
watch the movie stealth riley must have written that

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

00:05:46.479 --> 00:05:51.680
movie podcast which happens to be having its biggest day ever right now

00:05:50.320 --> 00:05:55.919
apparently the new episode is pretty sick so you guys should go listen to it

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

00:05:59.280 --> 00:06:05.120
people giving you other news equally fun

00:06:02.479 --> 00:06:05.120
almost
