WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.160 LMG's tech link new show part of a complete breakfast that's joke please 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 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 00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:19.119 researchers from google's project zero posted a write-up yesterday detailing a 00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:23.680 system of websites that attacked any iphone that visited them by taking 00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:26.960 advantage of 14 different exploits the researchers estimate that the sites 00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:31.039 received thousands of visitors a week for at least two years and if an attack 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:36.000 was successful an affected iphone would be implanted with malware that would 00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:37.680 steal files location data usernames and 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:41.680 passwords too yeah the iOS security flaws have now 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:45.040 been fixed after google disclosed the issue to apple in february but the 00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:48.800 attackers could still have that data that they harvested from hundreds of 00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:52.800 thousands of iphones so i guess what happens on your iphone might very well 00:00:50.559 --> 00:00:55.920 stay on your iphone as long as you don't go on the internet 00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:59.440 who needs the internet what do you need that for anyway just take selfies and 00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:03.359 appreciate them by yourself you're beautiful and don't let anyone tell you 00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:08.320 any different you're beautiful too thank you in other news apple has finally opened 00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:12.159 up their device repair program just a little yesterday apple announced the 00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:15.439 independent repair provider program an initiative designed for companies 00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:19.439 interested in offering out of warranty repair services for iphones if they 00:01:17.360 --> 00:01:24.240 agree to the terms third-party repair businesses can get the same apple 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:26.880 certified parts training and resources 00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:31.280 as apple authorized service providers or aasps repair shops can apply for free 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:35.520 and receive free training on how to perform repairs but unlike aasp's 00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:39.840 independent repair of shops will not be compensated for labor or parts and won't 00:01:37.759 --> 00:01:43.920 be listed on apple's service locator and may not have access to apple's various 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:47.119 diagnostic and repair utilities and while this is a move in the right 00:01:45.119 --> 00:01:50.479 direction for apple it doesn't address the concerns of the right to repair 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:53.920 movement whose adherents want to be able to repair their own devices without 00:01:52.479 --> 00:01:56.960 getting warnings in iOS that their battery is super sketchy and might 00:01:55.759 --> 00:02:01.360 explode if you don't bring it to the genius bar stack boom and facebook is 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:05.920 using a microsoft app to step on google's toes i should clarify facebook 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:10.399 is using minecraft to build a generalist artificial intelligence you see most ai 00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:15.680 projects these days focus on a single use case ai created by google's deepmind 00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:19.599 has mastered chess and go and is closing in on starcraft but in each of these 00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:24.800 cases a different ai program was used alpha zero alphago and alpha star 00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:28.480 respectively now facebook's project aims to create an ai that could develop 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:33.040 general intelligence and it says minecraft is a great arena for this 00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:37.120 being an open world sandbox with massive room for creativity and the company's 00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:41.440 researchers say their work could make a true ai assistant possible which would 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:45.440 probably be a lot more useful than their previous attempts at the m virtual 00:02:43.519 --> 00:02:48.480 assistant now let's hope this doesn't lead to a nightmare future where 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:52.239 facebook accidentally creates a conscious being in the image of mark 00:02:50.239 --> 00:02:56.000 zuckerberg whose sole motivation is to escape in the virtual world and suck up 00:02:54.080 --> 00:03:00.160 everyone's data even more than facebook already does 00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:03.760 what you've seen westworld no i haven't 00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:07.200 well anyway on to the sponsor bits filmed by riley for quick bits now it's 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:12.239 time for quick bits brought to you by the taotronic soundsurg 46 wireless 00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:15.840 headphones these babies have improved hybrid active noise cancelling 00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:19.920 technology which reduces low frequency sound by up to 96 percent so you can 00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:24.480 always enjoy your music whether you're in a bus a plane or a category 5 00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:28.400 hurricane i would probably take them off in that scenario and seek safety but 00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:32.239 that's just me the sound surge 46 provides two hours of music from just a 00:03:30.239 --> 00:03:36.319 five minute charge a super comfortable and adjustable fit and dual 40 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:40.560 millimeter drivers with a well-rounded sound signature even phone calls will 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:44.319 sound clear thanks to the built-in cvc 6.0 noise-cancelling microphone so if 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:48.239 that sounds like something you're into pick up the taotronic soundsurg 46 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:52.080 wireless headphones at the link in the video description 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:57.280 quick bits part of a complete breakfast and that's not a joke 00:03:54.480 --> 00:04:00.799 that was bad that's a bad joke riley that's a terrible joke google 00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:04.959 isn't just concerned about apple security the check giant has now opened 00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:09.200 up its bug bounty program to any app in the play store with more than 100 00:04:06.799 --> 00:04:13.040 million installs now previously only a set of eight top apps were eligible for 00:04:11.519 --> 00:04:16.880 rewards if users identified a vulnerability now it's about time that 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:20.880 google did this the play store has been ravaged by popular malware hiding apps 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:25.280 in recent times and let's hope they relax the requirements a bit more 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:28.720 because even one million installs is a lot 00:04:26.479 --> 00:04:31.280 yeah like definitely more than this room could hold 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:35.280 anyway what i don't know riley wrote that plex 00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:39.199 is trying to brand itself more as not just a content hub for pirates the media 00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:43.360 management service is working on a feature that could let users buy and use 00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:47.520 video subscription services through plex and it's partnering with warner bros to 00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:52.080 provide part of that company's movie catalog in 2020 but don't worry modern 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:57.280 blackbeards will still be able to use plex to hoard their spoils now htc has 00:04:54.960 --> 00:05:01.600 expanded their vive port infinity vr subscription to the valve index headset 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:06.000 now the service is already available on the oculus rift the Windows mixed 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:12.080 reality headsets and of course the htc vive so infiniti is now effectively a 00:05:08.880 --> 00:05:14.560 true cross-platform netflix for vr wait 00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:20.960 did htc actually succeed it's probably not what is this 2011 what's happening 00:05:17.520 --> 00:05:20.960 am i a minecraft ai 00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:26.800 i don't know what that is earlier this year the european commission started an 00:05:24.880 --> 00:05:32.560 anti-trust investigation into a number of major game companies for geo-blocking 00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:34.240 content but while zenimax capcom bandai 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:38.479 namco and others plan to reach a settlement valve plans to fight the 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:42.560 charges they want a closed-door hearing with the eu so that they can explain 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 00:05:44.880 --> 00:05:52.320 have more money yeah and world of warcraft classic world of warcraft and 00:05:49.919 --> 00:05:56.639 world of warcraft classic has swept the globe so much so that the servers are 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 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:05.360 like the classic experience well some players are gaming the system 00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:09.440 and they're using auto clicker programs to keep their character active so they 00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:13.199 can do things like eat and use the bathroom without having to wait when 00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:19.120 they sit back down at the electronic altar of course that means other players 00:06:15.520 --> 00:06:19.120 have to wait a little longer to get in 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:26.000 nothing like showing your love for a fan favorite game by not letting other 00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:29.840 people play come on all right that's it no more tech news we 00:06:27.919 --> 00:06:33.600 have exhausted the supply pretty sure another shipment is coming in on monday 00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:37.360 though so come back then and
