you look like somebody could use some tech news
well i'm happy to oblige aren't you tired of video game consoles
that just look like boring rectangular boxes
wait you aren't well sony says you do want it as those rumors we saw of a
playstation 5 with a v-shaped cutout look like they may be true a photo of a
playstation 5 dev kit has been leaked and sure enough the thing appears to
have a giant angular vent sitting right on top of it kind of making the whole
console look like some kind of receptacle for chip dip additionally it
looks like there's a camera built into the front of the unit which might be for
live streaming huh although the design
has already caused some outcry among playstation fans it might also be a sign
that the console is powerful enough to need more elaborate cooling like how the
death star had that trench for its thermal exhaust port
slightly different and also it's a dev kit so the uh you know production design
will probably be slightly different but hey let's get upset why don't we it's been
widely reported including by us that the google pixel 4 has a pretty serious
security flaw in its face unlock feature which will unlock the phone even if the
user's eyes are shut so for example if you're sleeping someone could just hold
your phone up to your unconscious mug and access all of your data that way and
to add insult to injury google has simply advised users to keep their phone
in a safe place but the good news is that they are working on a setting that
will require the user's eyes to be open to unlock the phone imagine
imagine that however this feature is not going to be making its way to the phone
immediately with google saying it will be delivered in the coming months
so maybe make sure you're still requiring a pin in the meantime and also that your
roommates aren't complete d-bags
can we say d-bags i think so although no one really seemed
to care that much about google glass or microsoft's hololens apple hasn't given
up on the concept of the augmented reality headset as a new report
indicates that cupertino wants to get his own ar headgear to market sometime
next year with the iphone's processing power increasing apple wants to take
advantage of that by rolling out a headset to beam things like text
messages map information and video games
straight into dennis's eyeballs would you even want that
uh i'd like anything in my eyeballs
i don't know about that however apple is still reportedly
searching for a killer app so to speak for the new headset so we may not see it
until 2021 if apple doesn't think it can present users with a really compelling
use case but i personally can't wait to strap more crap i don't need to my face
that's not true these are even annoying but apparently you guys don't like me
without my glasses so
your face doesn't matter your face doesn't matter today's quick
bits are brought to you by brilliant the site that helps you become better at
math and science by wearing glasses nope featuring courses with storytelling code
writing and interactive challenges you'll be sure to come away better at
problem solving for example check out their course on differential equations

wow quick bits weird in a piece of news that should
surprise no one both the google home and
amazon echo speakers have flaws that allow malicious apps to easily listen to
users germany-based security research Labs created eight different apps for
the device to demonstrate just how easy it was to eavesdrop with some simple
coding tricks google removed the apps and said it was working on prevention
methods but gave no other details so i think i'll stick to punching my keyboard
like a caveman for now much easier i don't know about you but i think of my
car as an extension of my own personality that's not true maybe john
does and some new tech from hyundai might make this even more true as the
company announced it's working on a smart machine learning based cruise
control project the idea is that it will learn how you drive using factors like
acceleration patterns and how closely you follow other cars and then mimic
your style though it won't learn unsafe behavior so don't expect it to do 100
miles an hour in the right lane for you it's easy enough to tell when food is
going to expire if you buy it at the local supermarket but it's a lot harder
if you have it shipped to you and lots of amazon's third-party sellers are
catching heat for just that issue as over 40 percent of sellers have been
reported for sending expired food including year-old brownies
it's a good vintage someone should probably tell them processed cakes don't
age like fine cheeses or wine i already made that joke it's hard you know life's
hard blizzcon is just around the corner and
if you've been hankering for a sequel to overwatch and don't care about
boycotting things rumor has it that you're in luck as overwatch 2 sounds it
like it'll be announced at the event although there's no word on when it
might be released or if it'll truly be a standalone title diablo 4 is also
expected to be announced so hopefully you'll have some blizzard game in your
hand soon that'll tickle your fancy john hasn't been paying
attention to the other part of the blizzard news cycle
anyways never mind and if you ever thought your toilet was too low-tech

bathroom thinks it has the answer with a toilet accessory that can alert you via
