00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.480
wow cyber monday we made it so

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:10.160
are we inside the computer now are you a tron

00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:15.360
what do you think cyber monday is wow cyber stuff t-mobile says they've

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:20.160
officially launched america's first nationwide 5g network quote unquote

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:28.720
covering more than 1 million square miles and more than 200 million people

00:00:25.439 --> 00:00:31.840
but wait a second the u.s has about 330

00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:33.600
million people and 3.53 million square

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:38.559
miles i'm not an electromagnetic

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:42.640
spectromologist but that doesn't seem like a nationwide network to me james

00:00:40.879 --> 00:00:46.640
unless t-mobile means that only people who can afford 5g phones and who live in

00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:51.760
an area with coverage qualify as members of the nation that doesn't seem like a

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:55.600
nation at all it seems like an exclusive club just like the one i wasn't allowed

00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:59.840
into on friday because of my insistence on bringing james dog with me who's

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:05.439
james dog it's a really cool guy now t-mobile's 4g

00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:09.840
network covers 325 million people and it seems like the uncarrier is definitely

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:13.439
banking on that to fill out the gaps if you have a 5g phone you'll still have to

00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:17.280
wait until friday to use its particular capabilities and even then you probably

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:23.280
won't see more than a 20 increase in speed as current 5g uses the same 600

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:27.439
megahertz spectrum as 4g that is if you're part of the nation that's

00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:32.720
supposedly getting this nationwide coverage i mean i'm not even getting any

00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:33.600
service in vancouver corporate fat cats

00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:38.799
ah we're in canada oh

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:44.560
corporate fat beavers apple has now fully ingested or acquired

00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:48.880
the smartphone modem department of Intel after announcing the meal i mean deal

00:01:47.119 --> 00:01:53.680
back in july stupid the one billion deal leaves Intel

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:57.920
still able to work on 5g modems for non-smartphone devices like pcs and

00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:02.880
vehicle systems the deal was born out of an interesting situation apple started

00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:07.360
buying Intel modems in 2016 after its patent lawsuit with qualcomm got intense

00:02:05.759 --> 00:02:11.760
meanwhile Intel was complaining about qualcomm's anti-competitive practices

00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:15.760
including being a real hard ass about patent fees and supposed copyright

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:20.400
infringement which left team blue's mobile modem business dead in the water

00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:24.319
however apple reached a 4.5 billion settlement with qualcomm in may so until

00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:28.400
cupertino can develop an in-house modem with their new acquisition they'll

00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:32.400
reportedly use qualcomm modems in future iphones and Intel has been left a little

00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:36.959
salty about the whole ordeal supporting the ftc's investigation of qualcomm for

00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:40.160
anti-competitive behavior even after their modem business was sold

00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:45.680
man it is just not Intel's year i'm starting

00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:49.360
to feel bad for for old bob swan and a fresh leak of the playstation 5 dev kit

00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:56.160
has kicked off some discussion about the upcoming next-gen console war turns out

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:57.599
that wacky v-shaped design is real

00:02:56.160 --> 00:03:02.239
and while the console will almost certainly look less early 2000s when it

00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:06.560
launches next christmas people seem to be experiencing a bit of a

00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:10.959
cyber truck moment with it like after your initial gag reflex hits

00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:13.680
you start to realize well

00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:16.959
you're right i love it the cooling system being on top could

00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:22.000
work great even with the console sitting on a carpet or something the leaked picks led to some

00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:26.480
commentators asking about the xbox project scarlet dev kit which is

00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:31.040
reportedly not quite finished and in the hands of very few developers jason

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:35.360
schreier suggested that microsoft is trying to surprise sony this time

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:41.760
by not having the dev kit ready regardless

00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:44.560
head of xbox game studio's matt booty

00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:48.959
that is his real name told gamesradar that scarlett aims to be backwards

00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:53.920
compatible with every xbox game which would be awesome it's probably just a

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:58.560
regular box without a cool v-shape though it's shaped like an x

00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:02.640

00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:47.280
every time five bucks yep

00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:50.479
the european space agency has approved the budget for their half of the

00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:56.160
asteroid impact and deflection assessment or ida mission ida is a joint

00:04:53.600 --> 00:05:02.400
mission set for 2027 in which nasa's dart probe would smash into the dual

00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:04.320
asteroid system didymos didymus

00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:08.800
creating an impact crater and a change in trajectory that would be analyzed by

00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:13.039
the esa's hera that's a spacecraft it's a greek goddess

00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:16.720
and that too and no this isn't the result of some astrophysicists getting

00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:20.880
drunk and wanting to smash into stuff the point is to learn whether we could

00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:25.840
prevent a deadly asteroid impact because the dinosaurs couldn't

00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.840
even with all their technology

00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:34.880
facebook has rolled out a new tool in ireland that will allow users to easily

00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:41.919
transfer all of their facebook pictures to google photos why would they want to

00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:41.919
do that i'm getting off the platform

00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:47.600
how are you doing you'll never have me lucky picks

00:05:46.320 --> 00:05:53.120
see you later well for one they want to do it to appease critics who accuse them of

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:57.759
having a social media monopoly plus if google has your photos too facebook can

00:05:55.280 --> 00:06:01.280
point at them and say no see they're do they're doing it they're doing data

00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:05.520
collection too it just might confuse europe enough to work sources inside

00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:10.880
tiktok say the social video company has suppressed the distribution of posts by

00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:12.560
users with disabilities videos by such

00:06:10.880 --> 00:06:16.080
users were made to only appear in their country of origin or taken out of

00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:20.319
circulation once they had a certain view count the move was ostensibly designed

00:06:18.400 --> 00:06:25.199
to prevent these users from facing bullying or discrimination by

00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:30.160
discriminating against them these antibodies let me get bullied by foreign

00:06:27.919 --> 00:06:34.800
powers yeah the logic there is a little i only want to be bullied by locals

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:38.400
right then it's fine these anti-bullying policies have now been discontinued but

00:06:36.479 --> 00:06:43.199
for me the damage is done i'm never tick-tocking again amazon has

00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:47.360
joined microsoft and google in launching a quantum computing service even though

00:06:45.520 --> 00:06:52.160
quantum computers are basically still in the research phase amazon is also

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:55.840
launching amazon transcribe medical an ai power transcription service that will

00:06:54.240 --> 00:07:00.560
help doctors keep track of details during conversations with patients like

00:06:57.919 --> 00:07:05.280
dosage amounts and symptoms wow neither of those things seem ready

00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:09.680
for prime time prime oh like amazon i didn't even get that

00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:15.039
you did it and a new update for super mario maker includes a master sword

00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:17.120
power-up that turns mario into link

00:07:15.039 --> 00:07:22.240
through some sort of dark sorcery link can block attacks with a shield and

00:07:19.520 --> 00:07:26.560
attack with a sword arrows and bombs this is cool but guys link is not part

00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:30.720
of the mario universe i was willing to forgive his inclusion in mario kart but

00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:34.560
how much further can we go before every mario game is just super smash bros all

00:07:33.280 --> 00:07:40.000
right well i guess that's it for this episode come back on monday for more

00:07:36.479 --> 00:07:40.000
tech news everybody is monday

00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:46.360
