00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.080
now you listen here okay if you don't give me that tech news

00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:09.679
right now i am walking off this set and i am never coming back because you're

00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:14.799
supposed to give them the text that's not oh shoot microsoft and gamestop made

00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:20.000
some kind of deal last week to have the retail chain use microsoft's cloud

00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:25.279
infrastructure in its back end and have its employees use surface products at

00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:27.279
work but gamestop investors were also

00:00:25.279 --> 00:00:33.360
told by the company that the deal included gamestop getting a share of the

00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:36.880
revenue from all digital sales on xbox

00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:39.440
console units sold by gamestop now the

00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:42.800
exact details of the deal are unclear with some insiders saying that the

00:00:40.879 --> 00:00:48.399
percentage of sales gamestop will get might be as low as one percent

00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:51.120
but hey if your game stop that might be enough to make it

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:55.840
worthwhile as gamestop's physical stores have been

00:00:53.120 --> 00:01:00.399
struggling for quite some time and sony is predicted to sell more next-gen

00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:04.479
consoles than microsoft so then maybe with this little bit of

00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:08.640
encouragement gamestop will be inclined to push xboxes a little harder than

00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:13.200
playstations even if the target audience consists of a few confused grandmas just

00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:17.759
trying to get the kids something for christmas christmas wow microsoft

00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:20.880
targeting grandmas what happened to don't be evil wait that was google

00:01:19.119 --> 00:01:24.799
that's google you can't script mistakes for me then

00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:29.759
correct me the oculus quest 2 launched this weekend

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:34.560
enthusiasts concerns about the headset's facebookening have apparently

00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:38.799
pretty much come true quest 2 users without facebook accounts had to create

00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:43.040
one in order to log in a new requirement with this headset but once some of those

00:01:41.119 --> 00:01:47.759
users linked their facebook and oculus accounts they were banned for unknown

00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:51.680
reasons turning their fancy new vr gadget into an inconveniently shaped

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.200
bookend facebook says they're trying to help those that are affected but the

00:01:53.600 --> 00:01:59.520
incident does kind of serve as vindication for those who do not like

00:01:57.119 --> 00:02:03.759
the fact that what is basically the coolest piece of mainstream vr tech out

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:06.799
there is owned and operated by zuckerberg and co

00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:10.879
reviews of the headset from those who are not bothered by such privacy

00:02:08.399 --> 00:02:15.760
concerns have been generally positive it does have a sharper screen more powerful

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:18.800
chip and a cheaper price after all not to mention that it's lighter

00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:23.440
but is all that worth it if you know that mark is watching you sweat through

00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:27.599
your underwear playing beat saber just something to think about watch me

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:31.040
no no no no and bad news for those holding on to

00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:36.959
their google play music subscriptions for dear life like me the ship is going

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:40.879
down not later but currently the service has stopped working on smart speakers

00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:44.800
that use google assistant and users can no longer purchase music from the google

00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:48.480
play store now if you're determined to keep getting music from a google service

00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:53.120
then youtube music is meant to be your new home and google did just release an

00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:57.440
app for the service on apple watch but then confusingly not on their own

00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:00.319
smartwatch platform wear os showing that the company's attitude towards

00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:04.560
supporting its own products is as confusing as ever what do you want but

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:08.720
hey at least if you want to identify a song that you hear playing on a service

00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:12.879
other than google play music you can hum or sing it into search now and get a

00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:15.920
presumably fairly accurate answer i wonder if it'll recognize the tech

00:03:14.239 --> 00:03:20.319
linked theme song i wonder if they'll make family sharing

00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:24.159
work on youtube music i have a family plan and because youtube doesn't let

00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:27.760
kids use it they can use google play music but they can't use youtube music

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:31.200
it's coming later now it's time for you for the for the butt

00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:36.879
book brought to you by vessy footwear bessie's known for making shoes that are

00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:40.720
light comfortable and most importantly water resistant allowing you to walk in

00:03:38.720 --> 00:03:45.440
almost any terrain while keeping your feet as dry as the vacuum of space but

00:03:43.440 --> 00:03:49.519
not as cold check out the new weekend shoe it's great for dressing up or down

00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:53.360
and in fact some of us are wearing them right now even though it's not

00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:57.120
technically the weekend yet how dare you get back to work

00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:01.280
grab yourself a pair and use offer code tecling to get 25 off each pair at

00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:04.959
bessie.com techlinked silly rabbit quack butts are

00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:10.640
for kids and for other people a leaker on twitter claims that a core

00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:16.400
i7 part from Intel's upcoming rocket lake s lineup can turbo up to 5.2

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:21.120
gigahertz while the core i9 can reach up to 5.5

00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:27.520
in a separate leak an alder lake s CPU is pictured which will use a larger lga

00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:29.919
1700 socket and everyone knows the more

00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:33.440
pins you've got the more performance you get

00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:36.639
well maybe not but hey if you can't beat them make your socket bigger that's what

00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:40.639
my grandma used to say according to political insiders the us justice

00:04:38.479 --> 00:04:44.960
department and the european union are looking at whether to force google to

00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:49.680
sell off chrome since chrome based browsers account for over 70 of the

00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:54.639
market but like in fairness what are we supposed to do use firefox

00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:59.199
actually that is a real option i'm sorry firefox users we love you guys youtube

00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:03.919
is joining facebook and twitter and taking steps to crack down on content

00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:06.800
related to the q and on conspiracy is that how you pronounce it or is it q

00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:11.759
anon i don't know it doesn't matter it's stupid now this doesn't mean a ban on

00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:16.000
all q anon related content but just that any content that targets individuals or

00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:19.680
groups with conspiracy theories that have been used to justify violence will

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:24.080
be prohibited because you're allowed to think that nasa is made of cheese

00:05:21.919 --> 00:05:28.400
for all you want really as long as you don't try to blow it up

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:32.960
after facing a lawsuit over faulty xbox controllers experiencing joystick drift

00:05:31.039 --> 00:05:36.960
microsoft has extended the warranty for the elite controller series 2 to 1 year

00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:40.000
up from 90 days i mean have to get away with a 90 day warranty on a controller

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:46.000
in the first place even though joystick drifting does actually sound like a super cool move in

00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:49.680
like from like a fast and furious movie he's joystick drifting and in a year

00:05:47.919 --> 00:05:53.600
that saw doom running on a pregnancy test and a smart fridge of course

00:05:51.919 --> 00:05:57.440
someone would not only run the game on a graphing calculator but would also power

00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:01.759
that calculator with a room full of moldy potato batteries the metaphors are

00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:06.560
simply too real we better just end this episode before you know we get even more

00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:11.600
real and i start getting sick from mold inhalation yeah so come back on monday

00:06:08.960 --> 00:06:16.039
for more tech news i promise it'll taste at least as good as moldy potatoes
