00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.319
hello is anyone there

00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:07.279
for the for the tech news

00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:13.200
it's so lonely when no one else is in the office happy labor day everybody

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:18.720
what riley i'm right here oh hi mark i didn't

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:20.480
see you there i set up the camera

00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:25.920
users are complaining that the latest update to Windows 10 is causing cortana

00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:29.359
to go a little crazy and hog as much as

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:32.320
40 of a system's CPU usage the update in

00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:36.719
question is kb4512941 which to be fair did provide a number of

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:41.920
software fixes as well you gotta take the good with the bad am i

00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:41.920
am i right mark

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:48.239
well users on reddit and other forms don't quite think so some people have

00:00:46.239 --> 00:00:52.719
found a temporary fix for the issue by editing the Windows registry entry that

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

00:00:55.440 --> 00:01:02.079
40 CPU usage seems to be the average amount taken up but other users have

00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:04.960
reported cortana's stealing as much as 90 percent

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

00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:15.520
you feel seeing google assistant and alexa taking up all the limelight and

00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:19.759
actually being useful you finally get out of master chief's helmet and this is

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

00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:28.799
that google researchers had discovered an iphone hacking operation that spanned

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:32.320
multiple websites for years but now it looks like it wasn't just iphones

00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:36.400
sources familiar with the matter have apparently told techcrunch that the

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:41.759
hacking campaign also attacked Android and Windows devices and was specifically

00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:45.040
targeted at chinese uyghur muslims they're an ethnic and religious group

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:48.720
that has been a victim of crackdowns by the chinese government in recent years

00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:53.040
with more than a million being detained in internment camps so it does make

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:56.880
sense that techcrunch's sources say the hacking campaign was sponsored by china

00:01:55.759 --> 00:02:02.560
government officials have been installing a surveillance app on tourists phones as they enter the

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:05.759
xinjiang region where many uyghurs live but they've had some difficulty

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:10.160
installing the app on iphones which could explain why iphones were

00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:14.160
predominantly targeted in this attack google is facing some criticism for not

00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:19.040
disclosing the websites used in the attacks and for claiming the attacks

00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:23.200
were not targeted and i'd like to join in google

00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:26.800
i criticize you seriously though what

00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:31.520
what are you doing and speaking of chinese surveillance apps a publicly

00:02:28.959 --> 00:02:36.959
available one has gone viral for good and bad reasons zhao is a deep fake

00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:41.440
style face swapping app similar to the russia-developed program face app but

00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:46.800
zhao's claim to fame is inserting a person's face into scenes from movies

00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:48.319
and tv shows using just a single photo

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

00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:57.760
the problem is the app's privacy policy gives the chinese developer a free

00:02:54.959 --> 00:03:03.440
irrevocable permanent transferable and re-licensable license to all the content

00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:07.040
you create on the app now to be fair the developer has responded to user backlash

00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:10.720
claiming they'll only use your photos to improve the app and they'll be deleted

00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:14.480
from its servers when you delete them on your device that's a similar response to

00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:18.959
the one face apps developers made back in july and it's similarly hard to

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

00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:27.280
one photo in like 10 seconds maybe i'm a deep fake

00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:34.140
who's to say are you a deep fake is this

00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:39.040
is life a deep fake

00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:46.879

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:38.479
quick bits apple is apparently still working on their augmented reality glasses if code

00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:43.840
from an internal build of iOS is to be believed mac rumors reports that

00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:46.400
internal iOS 13 builds include a star

00:04:43.840 --> 00:04:50.240
tester app that includes a head mounted mode there are also icons depicting what

00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:54.160
looks like an ar vr headset and references to a device

00:04:52.960 --> 00:04:59.199
codenamed garta i'm hoping that the headset is actually

00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:03.040
useful and not just a way for apple fans to block non-apple devices from their

00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:06.800
vision like the green bubbles in imessage if it doesn't have a

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:12.160
sandblasted fruit icon i don't want to see it

00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:14.880
jack dorsey the ceo of twitter had his

00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:19.600
twitter account hacked yep hacking group chuckling squad

00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:24.160
apparently used a super easy sim swapping attack to connect jack's phone

00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:29.120
number to their account and then use twitter's text to tweet feature to say

00:05:26.479 --> 00:05:33.120
some unflattering things and to direct people to the hacker's discord server

00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:36.840
but jack's got his account back and their discord server is now shut down so

00:05:35.440 --> 00:05:41.039
who's chuckling now probably still the hackers they they

00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:44.880
got him they got him guys

00:05:42.960 --> 00:05:48.320
who am i talking to mark i thought there was someone over

00:05:46.080 --> 00:05:53.120
there ray tracing and super sampling are great

00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:57.440
and all but sometimes graphical improvements at the low end are nice to

00:05:54.960 --> 00:06:01.600
have too so Intel has enabled integer scaling support also called retro

00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:05.120
scaling because it cleans up the visuals in pixel art games so they don't look

00:06:03.919 --> 00:06:09.680
like you're looking at your screen through thin slices of potato thanks

00:06:07.520 --> 00:06:13.600
Intel where are the graphics cards though you're working on

00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:17.759
more patents related to microsoft's rumored foldable device codenamed

00:06:15.440 --> 00:06:22.080
project centaurus have appeared in germany centaurus will apparently be

00:06:19.919 --> 00:06:26.800
able to fold in multiple ways and may even be revealed at microsoft's surface

00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:29.759
event on october 2nd i'm not crossing my fingers though

00:06:28.080 --> 00:06:34.520
because folding devices may just be cursed in general speaking of which

00:06:32.080 --> 00:06:39.759
samsung is just reopened pre-registration to buy the galaxy fold

00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:44.720
when it launches again later this month supposedly so if you really want to you

00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:47.600
can pre-register to buy it but

00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:52.000
like don't all right i've had enough of you

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

00:06:53.919 --> 00:07:01.440
if we're not you can take advantage of our full money-back guarantee

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

00:07:02.880 --> 00:07:06.800
very good at math do we give them do we give them money

00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:10.840
back do i get anything in this situation
