00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,160
LMG's tech link new show part of a complete breakfast that's joke please

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:11,440
don't eat your screen all right let's start off with some bright and sunny news your iphone has

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:15,360
probably been hacked what oh sorry it's fixed now sorry didn't mean to scare you

4
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:19,119
researchers from google's project zero posted a write-up yesterday detailing a

5
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:23,680
system of websites that attacked any iphone that visited them by taking

6
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:26,960
advantage of 14 different exploits the researchers estimate that the sites

7
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:31,039
received thousands of visitors a week for at least two years and if an attack

8
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:36,000
was successful an affected iphone would be implanted with malware that would

9
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:37,680
steal files location data usernames and

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,680
passwords too yeah the iOS security flaws have now

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,040
been fixed after google disclosed the issue to apple in february but the

12
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,800
attackers could still have that data that they harvested from hundreds of

13
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:52,800
thousands of iphones so i guess what happens on your iphone might very well

14
00:00:50,559 --> 00:00:55,920
stay on your iphone as long as you don't go on the internet

15
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:59,440
who needs the internet what do you need that for anyway just take selfies and

16
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,359
appreciate them by yourself you're beautiful and don't let anyone tell you

17
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:08,320
any different you're beautiful too thank you in other news apple has finally opened

18
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:12,159
up their device repair program just a little yesterday apple announced the

19
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:15,439
independent repair provider program an initiative designed for companies

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:19,439
interested in offering out of warranty repair services for iphones if they

21
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:24,240
agree to the terms third-party repair businesses can get the same apple

22
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,880
certified parts training and resources

23
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:31,280
as apple authorized service providers or aasps repair shops can apply for free

24
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:35,520
and receive free training on how to perform repairs but unlike aasp's

25
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:39,840
independent repair of shops will not be compensated for labor or parts and won't

26
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:43,920
be listed on apple's service locator and may not have access to apple's various

27
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:47,119
diagnostic and repair utilities and while this is a move in the right

28
00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:50,479
direction for apple it doesn't address the concerns of the right to repair

29
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,920
movement whose adherents want to be able to repair their own devices without

30
00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:56,960
getting warnings in iOS that their battery is super sketchy and might

31
00:01:55,759 --> 00:02:01,360
explode if you don't bring it to the genius bar stack boom and facebook is

32
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:05,920
using a microsoft app to step on google's toes i should clarify facebook

33
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:10,399
is using minecraft to build a generalist artificial intelligence you see most ai

34
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:15,680
projects these days focus on a single use case ai created by google's deepmind

35
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:19,599
has mastered chess and go and is closing in on starcraft but in each of these

36
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:24,800
cases a different ai program was used alpha zero alphago and alpha star

37
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:28,480
respectively now facebook's project aims to create an ai that could develop

38
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:33,040
general intelligence and it says minecraft is a great arena for this

39
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:37,120
being an open world sandbox with massive room for creativity and the company's

40
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:41,440
researchers say their work could make a true ai assistant possible which would

41
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:45,440
probably be a lot more useful than their previous attempts at the m virtual

42
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:48,480
assistant now let's hope this doesn't lead to a nightmare future where

43
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:52,239
facebook accidentally creates a conscious being in the image of mark

44
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:56,000
zuckerberg whose sole motivation is to escape in the virtual world and suck up

45
00:02:54,080 --> 00:03:00,160
everyone's data even more than facebook already does

46
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:03,760
what you've seen westworld no i haven't

47
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:07,200
well anyway on to the sponsor bits filmed by riley for quick bits now it's

48
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:12,239
time for quick bits brought to you by the taotronic soundsurg 46 wireless

49
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:15,840
headphones these babies have improved hybrid active noise cancelling

50
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:19,920
technology which reduces low frequency sound by up to 96 percent so you can

51
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:24,480
always enjoy your music whether you're in a bus a plane or a category 5

52
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:28,400
hurricane i would probably take them off in that scenario and seek safety but

53
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:32,239
that's just me the sound surge 46 provides two hours of music from just a

54
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:36,319
five minute charge a super comfortable and adjustable fit and dual 40

55
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:40,560
millimeter drivers with a well-rounded sound signature even phone calls will

56
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:44,319
sound clear thanks to the built-in cvc 6.0 noise-cancelling microphone so if

57
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:48,239
that sounds like something you're into pick up the taotronic soundsurg 46

58
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:52,080
wireless headphones at the link in the video description

59
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:57,280
quick bits part of a complete breakfast and that's not a joke

60
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:00,799
that was bad that's a bad joke riley that's a terrible joke google

61
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:04,959
isn't just concerned about apple security the check giant has now opened

62
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:09,200
up its bug bounty program to any app in the play store with more than 100

63
00:04:06,799 --> 00:04:13,040
million installs now previously only a set of eight top apps were eligible for

64
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:16,880
rewards if users identified a vulnerability now it's about time that

65
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,880
google did this the play store has been ravaged by popular malware hiding apps

66
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:25,280
in recent times and let's hope they relax the requirements a bit more

67
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:28,720
because even one million installs is a lot

68
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:31,280
yeah like definitely more than this room could hold

69
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,280
anyway what i don't know riley wrote that plex

70
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:39,199
is trying to brand itself more as not just a content hub for pirates the media

71
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:43,360
management service is working on a feature that could let users buy and use

72
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:47,520
video subscription services through plex and it's partnering with warner bros to

73
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:52,080
provide part of that company's movie catalog in 2020 but don't worry modern

74
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:57,280
blackbeards will still be able to use plex to hoard their spoils now htc has

75
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:01,600
expanded their vive port infinity vr subscription to the valve index headset

76
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:06,000
now the service is already available on the oculus rift the Windows mixed

77
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:12,080
reality headsets and of course the htc vive so infiniti is now effectively a

78
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:14,560
true cross-platform netflix for vr wait

79
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:20,960
did htc actually succeed it's probably not what is this 2011 what's happening

80
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,960
am i a minecraft ai

81
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,800
i don't know what that is earlier this year the european commission started an

82
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:32,560
anti-trust investigation into a number of major game companies for geo-blocking

83
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:34,240
content but while zenimax capcom bandai

84
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:38,479
namco and others plan to reach a settlement valve plans to fight the

85
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:42,560
charges they want a closed-door hearing with the eu so that they can explain

86
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:47,039
like don't you understand we did it to make more money see it makes sense to

87
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:52,320
have more money yeah and world of warcraft classic world of warcraft and

88
00:05:49,919 --> 00:05:56,639
world of warcraft classic has swept the globe so much so that the servers are

89
00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:01,280
full to the point that players are stuck in cues waiting to log in it really is

90
00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:05,360
like the classic experience well some players are gaming the system

91
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:09,440
and they're using auto clicker programs to keep their character active so they

92
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:13,199
can do things like eat and use the bathroom without having to wait when

93
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:19,120
they sit back down at the electronic altar of course that means other players

94
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,120
have to wait a little longer to get in

95
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:26,000
nothing like showing your love for a fan favorite game by not letting other

96
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:29,840
people play come on all right that's it no more tech news we
