1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,510 - Did you know that every day, at least eight tech stories happen every day? 2 00:00:04,510 --> 00:00:09,580 For more fun facts, keep watching this video. Google Apps usually get updated for security purposes 3 00:00:09,580 --> 00:00:15,410 and added features all the time, which is why it's super weird that in many of the tech giants' most popular apps on iOS 4 00:00:15,410 --> 00:00:18,873 haven't received updates in over two months. - [Man] Oh. 5 00:00:18,873 --> 00:00:23,010 - Like okay, maybe there just wasn't many security issues over the holiday, you know. 6 00:00:23,010 --> 00:00:26,260 The hackers went into hibernation. They need a vacation too. 7 00:00:26,260 --> 00:00:30,200 And you might think that's true, until you learn that the iOS versions of Gmail, 8 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:35,330 Google Maps, Search, Chrome, Drive, Photos and more, well not more, 9 00:00:35,330 --> 00:00:38,530 no, and more, had their last update on December 8th, 10 00:00:38,530 --> 00:00:44,577 the day that Apple started requiring iOS apps to show privacy nutrition labels on the app store. 11 00:00:44,577 --> 00:00:49,060 Coincidence? - Oh. Developers are supposed to use the label 12 00:00:49,060 --> 00:00:52,270 to divulge how their app uses user linked data 13 00:00:52,270 --> 00:00:55,440 for tracking purposes. And it certainly seems as though Google 14 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,730 isn't quite comfortable doing that. iOS users have run into error messages 15 00:00:59,730 --> 00:01:03,040 inside the un-updated apps telling the user to update, 16 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,097 but they can't, they can't update. Google made a statement to press outlets saying, 17 00:01:07,097 --> 00:01:11,597 "Ah, don't worry about it, it's just a bug, ah, Annie." 18 00:01:11,597 --> 00:01:14,970 Ah, shoot, dang bugs. I hate when they muck up software 19 00:01:14,970 --> 00:01:18,180 and draw attention to the fact that your personal data is being collected and sold, 20 00:01:18,180 --> 00:01:22,450 so annoying. - [Man] It happens all the time. - But who wants an ad that's unrelated to them? 21 00:01:22,450 --> 00:01:26,323 What is this, Boomer TV? (man laughs) I love avocados. 22 00:01:26,323 --> 00:01:30,450 Speaking of data collection, the hackers who accessed CD Projekt Red systems 23 00:01:30,450 --> 00:01:33,620 and made off with the source code for Cyberpunk 2077, 24 00:01:33,620 --> 00:01:38,389 The Witcher 3, and most importantly, Gwent, claim that they've now auctioned those assets 25 00:01:38,389 --> 00:01:42,590 to undisclosed parties on the dark web. And while there is evidence 26 00:01:42,590 --> 00:01:46,650 that the data was leaked on various forums, some analysts are remaining skeptical. 27 00:01:46,650 --> 00:01:51,360 Emsisoft threat analyst, Brett Callow, notes that in ransomware situations 28 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,090 where the victim has refused to pay the hacking group may simply claim 29 00:01:55,090 --> 00:01:58,530 to have sold the information, even if they didn't really. - [Man] You know they sold it! 30 00:01:58,530 --> 00:02:03,970 - [Man] It's so gone. - [Man] They're good hackers. - And even if they did, as many of our astute viewers pointed out on Wednesday, 31 00:02:03,970 --> 00:02:07,950 it may be incredibly difficult to use that source code to craft an exploit 32 00:02:07,950 --> 00:02:11,060 that would put actual Cyberpunk players in danger, 33 00:02:11,060 --> 00:02:15,400 more danger than just having a PS2, or whatever it is that they've launched it on 34 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:20,270 that it sucks! (men laughing) Gwent players on the other hand, are definitely screwed. 35 00:02:20,270 --> 00:02:24,280 It's all about Pokemon right now, guys. And the chip shortage that has affected everything 36 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,020 from game consoles to cars has gotten so bad that American chip makers 37 00:02:28,020 --> 00:02:33,173 have asked freshly minted President, Joe Biden, to do something about it, Mr. Joe- 38 00:02:33,173 --> 00:02:38,430 - [Man] Wake up! - If that is your real name. A letter signed by executives from AMD, NVIDIA, 39 00:02:38,430 --> 00:02:41,860 Intel, Qualcomm, IBM, Micron, and more 40 00:02:41,860 --> 00:02:45,990 asked Joe Biden to stop bidin' his time, 41 00:02:45,990 --> 00:02:51,590 and put money towards domestic chip manufacturing and research. Because a big reason why stock shortages have become so dire 42 00:02:51,590 --> 00:02:56,610 is the fact that most chips are manufactured in Asia, which was hit hard by early COVID, 43 00:02:56,610 --> 00:03:00,590 as well as US China trade war. And I know it's more complicated than that, 44 00:03:00,590 --> 00:03:04,770 but the takeaway is that the White House is apparently looking into helping US chip makers out. 45 00:03:04,770 --> 00:03:08,940 I mean, it's so hard to buy a graphics card that NVIDIA may reportedly bring 46 00:03:08,940 --> 00:03:14,620 the GTX 10 50 Ti back in circulation, you know? It's rough out here, and that's sad. 47 00:03:14,620 --> 00:03:19,630 Like, you sold your RTX 2080 to buy a 3080, but those are all gone, and at this point, 48 00:03:19,630 --> 00:03:23,270 you'll sell it for anything that'll run "Among Us" at 1080p. - [Man] Please. 49 00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:27,100 - Now time for Gooligans, but brought to you by my good friends at Seasonic. 50 00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:32,300 When I think of the way that Seasonic's power supplies deliver ultra efficient, clean ass power to a PC, 51 00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:36,053 ooh, it makes you just wanna uh! - [Man] What are you doing? 52 00:03:36,053 --> 00:03:39,400 - Nah, I'm vibrating power, 60 Hertz. 53 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:45,010 The Seasonic Prime Ultra Titanium power supply is fully modular, has Fluid Dynamic Fan Bearings, 54 00:03:45,010 --> 00:03:50,230 with hybrid fan control to mitigate noise, and comes with a PSU tester in the box. 55 00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:53,990 Like, come on. It's got a 50,000 hour life expectancy, 56 00:03:53,990 --> 00:03:57,576 and a 12 year warranty. So just be honest with yourself, 57 00:03:57,576 --> 00:04:03,360 it's okay to admit that you want this. Buy it today, the links in the video description today. 58 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,307 Oh, really? You expect me to believe that these are quick bits. 59 00:04:07,307 --> 00:04:11,770 (blows a raspberry) - Uh, well, oh. (blows a raspberry) - Some large tech companies, including Qualcomm, 60 00:04:11,770 --> 00:04:15,740 are objecting to NVIDIA's acquisition of ARM, which was announced last year 61 00:04:15,740 --> 00:04:20,800 but hasn't completed just yet. Qualcomm licenses ARM technologies to make its processors 62 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,580 and is concerned that NVIDIA would change existing agreements to favor their own chips. 63 00:04:25,580 --> 00:04:30,020 Microsoft and Google are also working on their own ARM-based chips and have voiced similar concerns. 64 00:04:30,020 --> 00:04:33,510 But honestly, I think we can trust Jensen on this. 65 00:04:33,510 --> 00:04:37,870 I mean, the guy probably wears that leather jacket to bed, or at least a vest. 66 00:04:37,870 --> 00:04:41,340 Apple has removed the remote PC streaming app Shadow 67 00:04:41,340 --> 00:04:45,100 from the iOS app store for the second time. Presumably because the app 68 00:04:45,100 --> 00:04:48,490 allows users to access other app stores through Shadow, 69 00:04:48,490 --> 00:04:53,060 which goes against the app store guidelines. But you can do that with literally any remote PC 70 00:04:53,060 --> 00:04:56,190 streaming app on the app store. Making me think this is probably 71 00:04:56,190 --> 00:05:01,080 about the gaming thing again. Look Apple, can we just stream games on iOS? 72 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,382 Huh? If we play your Frogger game, it's a deal. 73 00:05:05,382 --> 00:05:08,709 I love Frogger anyway. Would that make you happy? 74 00:05:08,709 --> 00:05:12,050 I'm sure it's fine. Bitcoin is having a bit of a moment. 75 00:05:12,050 --> 00:05:16,380 Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, and rapper and title founder Jay Z 76 00:05:16,380 --> 00:05:17,930 have announced, BTRUST, BTRUST. 77 00:05:19,996 --> 00:05:25,770 - [Man] B B BTRUST. - (laughs) A fund meant to kickstart development using the cryptocurrency in Africa and India. 78 00:05:25,770 --> 00:05:30,180 And MasterCard has announced that they'll support payment with cryptocurrencies, but only the ones 79 00:05:30,180 --> 00:05:33,600 that meet strict stability, privacy, and legal requirements 80 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,260 set by the company, which basically none of them do. 81 00:05:37,260 --> 00:05:41,720 But I'm still holding. So actually I guess cryptocurrency is still kind of a mixed bag, 82 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,740 but like imagine if cryptocurrency wasn't that. - Wow. 83 00:05:45,740 --> 00:05:51,610 - [Man] Cryptocurrency could be really cool. - Engineering samples of Intel's unreleased Core i9-11900K 84 00:05:51,610 --> 00:05:54,620 and Core i7-11700K have leaked, 85 00:05:54,620 --> 00:06:01,600 and received full previews with benchmarks by Romanian site LAB501, and Chinese YouTuber... 86 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:07,260 I actually don't know how to say the name. But Google translate says it means two loaves self-control, 87 00:06:07,260 --> 00:06:11,420 which I'm sure is accurate. The takeaway is that neither processor looks particularly 88 00:06:11,420 --> 00:06:17,320 impressive given the hype around Rocket Lake, but hey these are early samples and I can almost guarantee 89 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,923 watching the four of you when it comes out will be more worth your time. So subscribe to Carpool Critics. 90 00:06:21,923 --> 00:06:27,680 - [Man] And (indistinct). - And I have to admit, I'm tarting to love Xiaomi for their wacky designs. 91 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,014 I just like the balls on these guys. - [Man] We will not be denied. 92 00:06:31,014 --> 00:06:34,150 - (laughs) The Mi 11 Ultra which was reviewed early by the YouTuber TechBuff, 93 00:06:34,150 --> 00:06:38,727 has a huge camera bump on the back. Like it's just swollen, okay. 94 00:06:38,727 --> 00:06:42,970 Partially because it has a little display in there that mirrors the phone's home screen. 95 00:06:42,970 --> 00:06:48,510 I guess you're supposed to use it to preview selfies but it's so small and dumb. 96 00:06:48,510 --> 00:06:52,450 - Yeah. I love it. They just Chuck stuff at the wall. 97 00:06:52,450 --> 00:06:56,230 Kind of like Amazon's hardware approach. Wait, what are you still doing here? 98 00:06:56,230 --> 00:07:00,800 That was eight stories, there won't be anymore until Monday, but if you want we can just stay here a while. 99 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,850 I don't mind, it's Friday. - [Man] Yeah. - (blows raspberries) I don't wanna go back to my desk. 100 00:07:04,850 --> 00:07:08,828 - [Man] How are you feelin'? - A little warm. (man scatting) 101 00:07:08,828 --> 00:07:10,128 - [Man] Now we have to go.
