00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.400
hey wait a second it's supposed to be black friday it's not

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:09.840
it's not black at all it's blue and orange and very colorful i'm light

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:14.400
everywhere NVIDIA is in some hot water after an

00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:19.119
earnings report revealed that they apparently sold

00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:21.600
175 million dollars worth of rtx 30

00:00:19.119 --> 00:00:24.840
series graphics cards to ah yes they brought back the old villain star wars

00:00:23.840 --> 00:00:29.439
style cryptocurrency miners

00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:33.840
the cards are of course already in high demand but ethereum miners are

00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:37.920
particularly interested since changes to the currency coming in december will

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:42.320
make older hardware less effective at mining it some fans are furious at

00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:47.280
NVIDIA thinking that the new gpus aren't in stock because they've all been bought

00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:50.800
up by miners but unless my math is way

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:53.760
off that 175 million is only around six

00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:58.559
percent of the total 2.7 billion that NVIDIA made in GPU sales during the

00:00:55.680 --> 00:01:02.559
third quarter of 2020 and given that every other major recent product launch

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:06.240
has also had stock problems we probably shouldn't be quite so quick to attack

00:01:04.559 --> 00:01:10.159
NVIDIA for things other than the things we already attacked them about get a

00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:14.799
different jacket jensen amazon is also in hot water for well

00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:19.119
multiple reasons the first one is the company's shared network program

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:23.840
sidewalk amazon plans to use a portion of all the network bandwidth from all of

00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:29.200
its connected devices from echo smart speakers to ring smart doorbells to

00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:31.600
generate one giant network meaning your

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:36.560
alexa enabled devices will be directly connecting to your neighbor's devices

00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:41.680
and to who knows how many other gadgets that happen to be in the vicinity the

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:44.000
feature will also be enabled by default

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:48.399
with consumers having to manually opt out if they find the idea somewhat

00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:52.320
disconcerting i do the other reason to be mad at amazon today is well it's

00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:56.079
black friday allegedly meaning that more attention is

00:01:54.799 --> 00:02:00.320
being called to the company's questionable treatment of its employees

00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:05.360
amazon workers are protesting unrealistic expectations and low wages

00:02:03.119 --> 00:02:10.160
across the world today even though the corporation is giving full-time staff a

00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:15.200
christmas bonus of 300 whole dollars company-wide these bonuses amount to 500

00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:20.160
million dollars which seems like a lot until you hear that amazon is expected

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:22.560
to surpass 100 billion dollars this

00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:26.959
quarter for the first time i mean honestly i'm happy for jeff bezos being

00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.640
successful like him it's a lot of hard work he personally carries a lot of

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:34.959
those packages on his back yeah and get ready for some

00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:39.200
changes coming to Windows next year leaks have given us a peek at what

00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:44.319
microsoft is working on including cloud pc which would fittingly provide access

00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:49.519
to a cloud-based Windows pc that one could access through any browser

00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:52.319
microsoft also plans to ship Windows 10x

00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:57.040
in the first half of 2021 along with its dual screen surface neo and other

00:02:54.720 --> 00:03:00.480
mid-range laptops and tablets although it will not run win32 apps natively

00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:05.040
which will be well interesting and thanks to Windows

00:03:02.959 --> 00:03:08.000
10's new baked in support for Linux microsoft is apparently working on a

00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:12.400
feature that would allow users to install Android apps straight from the

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.840
microsoft store that is awesome i've been waiting for years to use

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:20.239
twitter on my computer oh hey other riley now it's time for

friday so click the link below to learn more quirk bratz they just keep coming

00:03:55.920 --> 00:04:03.439
don't they german developer alexander graf apparently managed to install the

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:05.840
ARM version of Windows 10 on an apple m1

00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:10.000
mac inside a virtual machine seemingly proving apple's claim that microsoft

00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:13.680
could make official support possible if they would just change that gosh darn

00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:17.840
licensing policy and while this is cool the real question

00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:23.840
that we have to ask is why would you want to run Windows 10 on ARM on

00:04:20.479 --> 00:04:25.600
anything it kind of sucks the eu has

00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:29.840
voted in favor of developing a system that would require tech manufacturers to

00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:34.000
provide a repairability rating label for their products in what looks like a win

00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:37.520
for right to repair advocates the repairability ratings would be part of a

00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:41.280
standardized system hopefully incentivizing companies to make their

00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:45.440
products more like things that you could fix instead of things that you could use

00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:49.840
for a little while and throw away i've heard of those i think my grandpa had

00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:54.320
one oh did you get one another microsoft story here the company is also in hot

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:59.360
water for the microsoft productivity score a feature that was added to

00:04:56.080 --> 00:05:02.240
microsoft 365 last week what the hell is

00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:06.720
this it lets bosses track how their employees use microsoft's suite of tools

00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:10.400
which sounds like a fancy way to describe workplace surveillance oh no is

00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:15.039
Linus reading this forget i said anything go to the next story no i think

00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:18.880

managed to play it on nintendo's new tiny game end watch although it does

00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:32.960
chug pretty bad honestly this has got to be the one redeeming story of 2020.

00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:37.199
there really is no telling where they'll install doom next to the moon

00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:42.080
oh they could install it on the moon lander and germany's national rail

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:45.520
