00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.560
i'm not the tech news anchor that you deserve but i'm the one you're gonna get

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:06.560
anyway

00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:13.599
yay batman wouldn't take his glasses off

00:00:10.639 --> 00:00:17.760
Windows 10 has had a bad month microsoft released the october update only to have

00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:22.640
it delete users files and they're still trying to fix it in order to re-release

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:27.039
it but then yesterday users with activated copies of Windows 10 pro

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:32.160
received messages saying that their os was not in fact activated and that they

00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:37.760
had to either install Windows 10 home or purchase a genuine copy of Windows when

00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:41.440
some affected users contacted microsoft support they were told they would need

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:45.840
to buy proper licenses to fix the problem and apparently some people

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:49.600
actually did this microsoft has started rolling out a see

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:52.879
that's why these microsoft tech support scams work all you have to do is be like

00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:57.280
hi i'm microsoft you have to buy something and people just do it they

00:00:54.879 --> 00:01:01.120
have that kind of power wow billy now microsoft has started rolling out a fix

00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:04.960
so if your Windows does suddenly deactivate itself

00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:08.880
don't panic and just run the activation troubleshooter but all these problems

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:12.880
are just not a good look for microsoft's Windows division they might just drive

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:15.920
people to switch back to vista wait who's billy

00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:21.520
yeah bill gates ea has been being ea about things and

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:27.280
complicating the launch of battlefield 5 with a three-tiered rollout

00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:32.240
strangely if you pre-ordered the game you won't get to play it on launch day

00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:38.880
which is today that honor belongs to origin access premium subscribers on pc

00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:42.320

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:06.159
edition they have to wait till november 20th the setup is so convoluted that ea

00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:10.080
had to make a dedicated graphic just to explain when you'll get to play the game

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:14.959
that you bought hopefully they don't follow this model for all their releases but

00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:19.599

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:33.760
second video platform may have been shut down in 2016 but it had a huge impact on

00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:39.360
the short video format and now its spirit will live on vines creator dom

00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:43.200
hoffman announced yesterday that his new looping video app bite not to be

00:02:41.519 --> 00:02:47.519
confused with vine will launch in spring 2019 but others

00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:52.800
are also getting on the short video train giphy excuse me jiffy is launching

00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:56.879
a 30-second video platform that it's promoting with a short film festival

00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:01.920
excuse me so that's a short film festival not a short film festival

00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:07.200
and facebook has released lasso its competitor to the wildly popular 15

00:03:04.239 --> 00:03:11.440
second video lip-syncing act tik-tok finally it has been so hard for me to

00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:18.680
stand out hopefully there's an audience on lasso for my rendition of papa poker

00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:18.680
face poker face

00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:26.080
it's time for bits and bytes brought to you by the massdrop x sennheiser pc37x

00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:30.319
gaming headset the x means it's a collab that's right massdrop and sennheiser

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:34.239
worked together to make the pc37x oh that's the other x well that x just

00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:37.280
means like extreme performance even better it's got angled drivers which are

00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:42.000
typically seen in more expensive headphones like the hd598 and hd600 with

00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:46.879
an open back design excellent locational accuracy and a noise canceling

00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:49.040
microphone the pc37x will make your mass

00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:52.879

00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:06.080
neither tech jesus stephen burke over at gamersnexus got his hands on some rtx

00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:10.480
2080 ti's that have been experiencing issues and as it turns out the reasons

00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:14.480
for many cards failing are not so simple issues with the cards were

00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:18.400
hard to reproduce but were definitely present and it's still unclear how many

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:22.400
cards are affected so you can head to their channel to see their findings and

00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:25.759
to gaze longingly at steve's majestic flow

00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:29.840
sony's upcoming playstation classic mini console will cost a hundred dollars and

00:04:27.840 --> 00:04:35.199
the company will probably make a killing on it because the device runs an open

00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:38.400
source emulator called pcsx rearmed

00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:39.680
which anyone can install on a pc and use

00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:43.840
for free now to be fair it makes sense for sony

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:48.800
to use an existing well-made emulator for the classic it just makes the 100

00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:52.479
price tag a little harder to swallow probably because you shouldn't swallow

00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:56.479
price tags don't tell them what to do microsoft and amazon have been teasing

00:04:54.479 --> 00:05:02.080
alexa and cortana integration for some time but now you can download and

00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:05.440
install alexa on Windows 10. as for how that will make cortana feel

00:05:03.919 --> 00:05:09.910
when you use alexa for everything instead of her

00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:13.440
well pretty sad i would think

00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:20.880
has reported that the north korea linked hacker group lazarus is behind the theft

00:05:17.919 --> 00:05:26.479
of tens of millions of dollars from atms in asia and africa using the fast cash

00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:31.919
malware lazarus was responsible for the sony hack in 2014 as well as the

00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:37.520
wannacry ransomware outbreak last year and china's state-run press agency

00:05:34.880 --> 00:05:42.080
xinhua xinhua has debuted what they're calling ai anchors

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:47.520
virtualized avatars that read out the news in a synthesized voice but what's

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:53.280
really creepy is that the ai modifies footage of a real anchor so it does look

00:05:50.320 --> 00:05:58.800
like a real person speaking not a lizard person because who needs real humans to

00:05:56.320 --> 00:06:03.919
stand in front of a camera and read a teleprompter sounds pretty dumb to me

00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:07.520
hey wait a second you know what else sounds dumb the fact that this episode

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:11.919
is over stupid but it's okay because we'll be back on

00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:15.840
monday with more news and lots of it trust me it's going to be the biggest

00:06:13.440 --> 00:06:19.680
news you've ever seen hey why are you wearing this

00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:22.639
because i'm an actor

00:06:24.400 --> 00:06:28.479
it's broken detective oh broke it just broke

00:06:27.520 --> 00:06:33.880
oh it's not a real gun is it

00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:33.880
no
