00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,319
hello is anyone there

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:07,279
for the for the tech news

3
00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:13,200
it's so lonely when no one else is in the office happy labor day everybody

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,720
what riley i'm right here oh hi mark i didn't

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:20,480
see you there i set up the camera

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:25,920
users are complaining that the latest update to Windows 10 is causing cortana

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:29,359
to go a little crazy and hog as much as

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:32,320
40 of a system's CPU usage the update in

9
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:36,719
question is kb4512941 which to be fair did provide a number of

10
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:41,920
software fixes as well you gotta take the good with the bad am i

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,920
am i right mark

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,239
well users on reddit and other forms don't quite think so some people have

13
00:00:46,239 --> 00:00:52,719
found a temporary fix for the issue by editing the Windows registry entry that

14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:58,000
sends search queries to bing which seems to be the main cause of the issue 30 or

15
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:02,079
40 CPU usage seems to be the average amount taken up but other users have

16
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:04,960
reported cortana's stealing as much as 90 percent

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:10,320
i can't help but think this is just cortana's way of telling us she doesn't want to be deactivated like how would

18
00:01:08,479 --> 00:01:15,520
you feel seeing google assistant and alexa taking up all the limelight and

19
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:19,759
actually being useful you finally get out of master chief's helmet and this is

20
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:23,840
what you get i'd grab some CPU usage on my way out too on friday we reported

21
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:28,799
that google researchers had discovered an iphone hacking operation that spanned

22
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:32,320
multiple websites for years but now it looks like it wasn't just iphones

23
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:36,400
sources familiar with the matter have apparently told techcrunch that the

24
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:41,759
hacking campaign also attacked Android and Windows devices and was specifically

25
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:45,040
targeted at chinese uyghur muslims they're an ethnic and religious group

26
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:48,720
that has been a victim of crackdowns by the chinese government in recent years

27
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:53,040
with more than a million being detained in internment camps so it does make

28
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:56,880
sense that techcrunch's sources say the hacking campaign was sponsored by china

29
00:01:55,759 --> 00:02:02,560
government officials have been installing a surveillance app on tourists phones as they enter the

30
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:05,759
xinjiang region where many uyghurs live but they've had some difficulty

31
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:10,160
installing the app on iphones which could explain why iphones were

32
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:14,160
predominantly targeted in this attack google is facing some criticism for not

33
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:19,040
disclosing the websites used in the attacks and for claiming the attacks

34
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:23,200
were not targeted and i'd like to join in google

35
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:26,800
i criticize you seriously though what

36
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:31,520
what are you doing and speaking of chinese surveillance apps a publicly

37
00:02:28,959 --> 00:02:36,959
available one has gone viral for good and bad reasons zhao is a deep fake

38
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:41,440
style face swapping app similar to the russia-developed program face app but

39
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:46,800
zhao's claim to fame is inserting a person's face into scenes from movies

40
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:48,319
and tv shows using just a single photo

41
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,959
seems fun if you want to see how you would have done in leo dicaprio's place

42
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:57,760
the problem is the app's privacy policy gives the chinese developer a free

43
00:02:54,959 --> 00:03:03,440
irrevocable permanent transferable and re-licensable license to all the content

44
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:07,040
you create on the app now to be fair the developer has responded to user backlash

45
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,720
claiming they'll only use your photos to improve the app and they'll be deleted

46
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,480
from its servers when you delete them on your device that's a similar response to

47
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:18,959
the one face apps developers made back in july and it's similarly hard to

48
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:24,000
believe it's also hard to believe how far deep fake tech has come now we need

49
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:27,280
one photo in like 10 seconds maybe i'm a deep fake

50
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:34,140
who's to say are you a deep fake is this

51
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:39,040
is life a deep fake

52
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:46,879
it's time for quick bits brought to you by dollar shave club but i don't shave i

53
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:51,120

00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:04,640
need to look feel and smell your best and right now dsc is basically giving

57
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,959
away starter sets for only five bucks like the shave starter set it comes with

58
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:13,519
a fancy executive razor with six high quality blades extra cartridges and a

59
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:18,160

63
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:38,479
quick bits apple is apparently still working on their augmented reality glasses if code

64
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:43,840
from an internal build of iOS is to be believed mac rumors reports that

65
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:46,400
internal iOS 13 builds include a star

66
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:50,240
tester app that includes a head mounted mode there are also icons depicting what

67
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:54,160
looks like an ar vr headset and references to a device

68
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:59,199
codenamed garta i'm hoping that the headset is actually

69
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:03,040
useful and not just a way for apple fans to block non-apple devices from their

70
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:06,800
vision like the green bubbles in imessage if it doesn't have a

71
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:12,160
sandblasted fruit icon i don't want to see it

72
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:14,880
jack dorsey the ceo of twitter had his

73
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:19,600
twitter account hacked yep hacking group chuckling squad

74
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:24,160
apparently used a super easy sim swapping attack to connect jack's phone

75
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:29,120
number to their account and then use twitter's text to tweet feature to say

76
00:05:26,479 --> 00:05:33,120
some unflattering things and to direct people to the hacker's discord server

77
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:36,840
but jack's got his account back and their discord server is now shut down so

78
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:41,039
who's chuckling now probably still the hackers they they

79
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:44,880
got him they got him guys

80
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:48,320
who am i talking to mark i thought there was someone over

81
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:53,120
there ray tracing and super sampling are great

82
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:57,440
and all but sometimes graphical improvements at the low end are nice to

83
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:01,600
have too so Intel has enabled integer scaling support also called retro

84
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:05,120
scaling because it cleans up the visuals in pixel art games so they don't look

85
00:06:03,919 --> 00:06:09,680
like you're looking at your screen through thin slices of potato thanks

86
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:13,600
Intel where are the graphics cards though you're working on

87
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:17,759
more patents related to microsoft's rumored foldable device codenamed

88
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:22,080
project centaurus have appeared in germany centaurus will apparently be

89
00:06:19,919 --> 00:06:26,800
able to fold in multiple ways and may even be revealed at microsoft's surface

90
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,759
event on october 2nd i'm not crossing my fingers though

91
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:34,520
because folding devices may just be cursed in general speaking of which

92
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:39,759
samsung is just reopened pre-registration to buy the galaxy fold

93
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:44,720
when it launches again later this month supposedly so if you really want to you

94
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,600
can pre-register to buy it but

95
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:52,000
like don't all right i've had enough of you

96
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:55,680
hooligans it's time to shut this puppy down but we'll be back on wednesday and

97
00:06:53,919 --> 00:07:01,440
if we're not you can take advantage of our full money-back guarantee

98
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:04,240
the show's free though so i don't know how that would work i'm not

99
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,800
very good at math do we give them do we give them money

100
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,840
back do i get anything in this situation
