WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.510 - Did you know that every day, at least eight tech stories happen every day? 00:00:04.510 --> 00:00:09.580 For more fun facts, keep watching this video. Google Apps usually get updated for security purposes 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 00:00:15.410 --> 00:00:18.873 haven't received updates in over two months. - [Man] Oh. 00:00:18.873 --> 00:00:23.010 - Like okay, maybe there just wasn't many security issues over the holiday, you know. 00:00:23.010 --> 00:00:26.260 The hackers went into hibernation. They need a vacation too. 00:00:26.260 --> 00:00:30.200 And you might think that's true, until you learn that the iOS versions of Gmail, 00:00:30.200 --> 00:00:35.330 Google Maps, Search, Chrome, Drive, Photos and more, well not more, 00:00:35.330 --> 00:00:38.530 no, and more, had their last update on December 8th, 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. 00:00:44.577 --> 00:00:49.060 Coincidence? - Oh. Developers are supposed to use the label 00:00:49.060 --> 00:00:52.270 to divulge how their app uses user linked data 00:00:52.270 --> 00:00:55.440 for tracking purposes. And it certainly seems as though Google 00:00:55.440 --> 00:00:59.730 isn't quite comfortable doing that. iOS users have run into error messages 00:00:59.730 --> 00:01:03.040 inside the un-updated apps telling the user to update, 00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:07.097 but they can't, they can't update. Google made a statement to press outlets saying, 00:01:07.097 --> 00:01:11.597 "Ah, don't worry about it, it's just a bug, ah, Annie." 00:01:11.597 --> 00:01:14.970 Ah, shoot, dang bugs. I hate when they muck up software 00:01:14.970 --> 00:01:18.180 and draw attention to the fact that your personal data is being collected and sold, 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? 00:01:22.450 --> 00:01:26.323 What is this, Boomer TV? (man laughs) I love avocados. 00:01:26.323 --> 00:01:30.450 Speaking of data collection, the hackers who accessed CD Projekt Red systems 00:01:30.450 --> 00:01:33.620 and made off with the source code for Cyberpunk 2077, 00:01:33.620 --> 00:01:38.389 The Witcher 3, and most importantly, Gwent, claim that they've now auctioned those assets 00:01:38.389 --> 00:01:42.590 to undisclosed parties on the dark web. And while there is evidence 00:01:42.590 --> 00:01:46.650 that the data was leaked on various forums, some analysts are remaining skeptical. 00:01:46.650 --> 00:01:51.360 Emsisoft threat analyst, Brett Callow, notes that in ransomware situations 00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:55.090 where the victim has refused to pay the hacking group may simply claim 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! 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, 00:02:03.970 --> 00:02:07.950 it may be incredibly difficult to use that source code to craft an exploit 00:02:07.950 --> 00:02:11.060 that would put actual Cyberpunk players in danger, 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 00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:20.270 that it sucks! (men laughing) Gwent players on the other hand, are definitely screwed. 00:02:20.270 --> 00:02:24.280 It's all about Pokemon right now, guys. And the chip shortage that has affected everything 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:28.020 from game consoles to cars has gotten so bad that American chip makers 00:02:28.020 --> 00:02:33.173 have asked freshly minted President, Joe Biden, to do something about it, Mr. Joe- 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, 00:02:38.430 --> 00:02:41.860 Intel, Qualcomm, IBM, Micron, and more 00:02:41.860 --> 00:02:45.990 asked Joe Biden to stop bidin' his time, 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 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, 00:02:56.610 --> 00:03:00.590 as well as US China trade war. And I know it's more complicated than that, 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. 00:03:04.770 --> 00:03:08.940 I mean, it's so hard to buy a graphics card that NVIDIA may reportedly bring 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. 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, 00:03:19.630 --> 00:03:23.270 you'll sell it for anything that'll run "Among Us" at 1080p. - [Man] Please. 00:03:23.270 --> 00:03:27.100 - Now time for Gooligans, but brought to you by my good friends at Seasonic. 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, 00:03:32.300 --> 00:03:36.053 ooh, it makes you just wanna uh! - [Man] What are you doing? 00:03:36.053 --> 00:03:39.400 - Nah, I'm vibrating power, 60 Hertz. 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:45.010 The Seasonic Prime Ultra Titanium power supply is fully modular, has Fluid Dynamic Fan Bearings, 00:03:45.010 --> 00:03:50.230 with hybrid fan control to mitigate noise, and comes with a PSU tester in the box. 00:03:50.230 --> 00:03:53.990 Like, come on. It's got a 50,000 hour life expectancy, 00:03:53.990 --> 00:03:57.576 and a 12 year warranty. So just be honest with yourself, 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. 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:07.307 Oh, really? You expect me to believe that these are quick bits. 00:04:07.307 --> 00:04:11.770 (blows a raspberry) - Uh, well, oh. (blows a raspberry) - Some large tech companies, including Qualcomm, 00:04:11.770 --> 00:04:15.740 are objecting to NVIDIA's acquisition of ARM, which was announced last year 00:04:15.740 --> 00:04:20.800 but hasn't completed just yet. Qualcomm licenses ARM technologies to make its processors 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:25.580 and is concerned that NVIDIA would change existing agreements to favor their own chips. 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. 00:04:30.020 --> 00:04:33.510 But honestly, I think we can trust Jensen on this. 00:04:33.510 --> 00:04:37.870 I mean, the guy probably wears that leather jacket to bed, or at least a vest. 00:04:37.870 --> 00:04:41.340 Apple has removed the remote PC streaming app Shadow 00:04:41.340 --> 00:04:45.100 from the iOS app store for the second time. Presumably because the app 00:04:45.100 --> 00:04:48.490 allows users to access other app stores through Shadow, 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 00:04:53.060 --> 00:04:56.190 streaming app on the app store. Making me think this is probably 00:04:56.190 --> 00:05:01.080 about the gaming thing again. Look Apple, can we just stream games on iOS? 00:05:01.080 --> 00:05:05.382 Huh? If we play your Frogger game, it's a deal. 00:05:05.382 --> 00:05:08.709 I love Frogger anyway. Would that make you happy? 00:05:08.709 --> 00:05:12.050 I'm sure it's fine. Bitcoin is having a bit of a moment. 00:05:12.050 --> 00:05:16.380 Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, and rapper and title founder Jay Z 00:05:16.380 --> 00:05:17.930 have announced, BTRUST, BTRUST. 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. 00:05:25.770 --> 00:05:30.180 And MasterCard has announced that they'll support payment with cryptocurrencies, but only the ones 00:05:30.180 --> 00:05:33.600 that meet strict stability, privacy, and legal requirements 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:37.260 set by the company, which basically none of them do. 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, 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:45.740 but like imagine if cryptocurrency wasn't that. - Wow. 00:05:45.740 --> 00:05:51.610 - [Man] Cryptocurrency could be really cool. - Engineering samples of Intel's unreleased Core i9-11900K 00:05:51.610 --> 00:05:54.620 and Core i7-11700K have leaked, 00:05:54.620 --> 00:06:01.600 and received full previews with benchmarks by Romanian site LAB501, and Chinese YouTuber... 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, 00:06:07.260 --> 00:06:11.420 which I'm sure is accurate. The takeaway is that neither processor looks particularly 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 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. 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. 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:31.014 I just like the balls on these guys. - [Man] We will not be denied. 00:06:31.014 --> 00:06:34.150 - (laughs) The Mi 11 Ultra which was reviewed early by the YouTuber TechBuff, 00:06:34.150 --> 00:06:38.727 has a huge camera bump on the back. Like it's just swollen, okay. 00:06:38.727 --> 00:06:42.970 Partially because it has a little display in there that mirrors the phone's home screen. 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. 00:06:48.510 --> 00:06:52.450 - Yeah. I love it. They just Chuck stuff at the wall. 00:06:52.450 --> 00:06:56.230 Kind of like Amazon's hardware approach. Wait, what are you still doing here? 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. 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. 00:07:04.850 --> 00:07:08.828 - [Man] How are you feelin'? - A little warm. (man scatting) 00:07:08.828 --> 00:07:10.128 - [Man] Now we have to go.
