WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.839
look today there's gonna be no nonsense okay we're just gonna have an extremely

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:10.960
normal one tech news no jokes that's it

00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:17.279
what are you doing oh normal tech news oh

00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:23.039
this guy on monday apple announced they're

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:27.359
abandoning the use of Intel processors and mac computers and will be switching

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:30.880
to their own more tasty ARM-based chips over the course of two years while there

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:36.800
are many reasons why apple would want to do this francois pied paid noel a formal

00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:40.320
principal engineer at Intel has said that the final straw may have been

00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:44.719
shoddy quality assurance done on their skylake processors apparently apple was

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:49.760
finding tons of problems with the chips that Intel failed to find themselves

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:54.719
unbelievable until that's ah until the worst i'm so upset ah well

00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:58.800
actually we should all calm down for a second because as ian cuttress points

00:00:57.199 --> 00:01:03.280
out the situation is more or less inevitable in the case of a company with

00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:07.920
as many clients as Intel the blue team just doesn't have enough manpower to

00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:13.200
find all the bugs that apple google and amazon squadrons of engineers will

00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:15.520
inevitably find now of course apple has

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:20.640
many other reasons to switch to ARM greater power efficiency top to bottom

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:25.280
control of product components so Intel if it makes you feel any better

00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:27.840
she was always going to leave does make me you

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:31.680
better at all i know right in other apple news the company has

00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:36.960
uncharacteristically backed down in its fight with basecamp developers of the

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.960
email app hey

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:42.560
the app has been definitively approved for the app store and will not be

00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:46.560
required to include an in-app subscription option which was the

00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:50.799
primary point of contention in the spat basecamp did have to add a 14-day free

00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:54.880
trial using a burner email account but users will still be able to sign up

00:01:52.479 --> 00:02:00.560
using a 99 yearly subscription on their website thus allowing basecamp to avoid

00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:04.560
paying apple the 30 app store revenue cut smart the news is a big deal not

00:02:02.479 --> 00:02:08.239
only because apple actually listened to the little guy and made changes but also

00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:13.040
because apple is under multiple antitrust investigations over the way it

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:16.959
handles the app store so wait

00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:19.760
that might be exactly why they gave it ah

00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:24.959
see there's an apple i recognize i thought i was having a stroke

00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:28.000
i'm good and facebook has also caved outside pressure announcing they'll

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:32.720
label some posts that violate their platform's policies but are newsworthy

00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:37.760
enough to keep on the public record ceo mr zuckerman said that users will see

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:41.360
prompts attached to such offending posts an approach similar to the one taken by

00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:45.200
twitter which recently labeled some of donald trump's tweets as breaking

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:49.440
platform guidelines facebook's announcement followed a boycott from a

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:53.840
sizable list of companies who refused to advertise on the platform including

00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:57.440
unilever verizon ben jerry's and patagonia which led to the company's

00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:01.360
shares falling more than seven percent on friday it's also part of a social

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:05.440
media trend towards greater moderation facebook has also begun warning users

00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:09.840
when an article they're about to share is more than 90 days old and twitter is

00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:14.080
testing a feature that suggests users read an article before sharing it wow

00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:18.319
what a thought what a thought like imagine if everyone actually did that i

00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:22.159
think we'd have a utopia already climate change

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:26.879

Intel's graphics chief raja kaduri has shared photos of Intel's z graphics

00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:15.599
chips showing their tile-based design so in case you were worried that z would be

00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:19.919
limited to integrated graphics baby the big boys are coming but will the blue

00:04:17.919 --> 00:04:25.440

00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:29.120
what microsoft has announced they're

00:04:26.960 --> 00:04:33.600
permanently closing all of their retail stores but apparently no employees will

00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:36.960
be laid off retail team members will apparently continue to serve customers

00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:41.280

00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:46.000

the genius bark guys geniuses if an fcc filing is any indication we're

00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:54.880
probably going to see google finally launch the pixel 4a soon although you'll

00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:58.160
be out of luck if you're hoping for a cheaper phone with the pixel 4's

00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:03.520
built-in radar depth sensing capabilities for some reason why would you want that

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:10.240
new leaks also point to an imminent release of google's sabrina Android tv

00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:13.039

00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:17.520
i do love dongles all over the place iOS 14 which is in

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:22.160
beta right now has a new clipboard monitoring feature which exposed the

00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:26.479
fact that tick-tock has been grabbing users clipboard data every time they

00:05:24.320 --> 00:05:30.560
type anything in the app tick tock says it's an anti-spam feature but they still

00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:35.039
removed it after the discovery just goes to show you should probably get off tick

00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:38.880
tock you absolute thought and actors everywhere officially out of a job

00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:43.520

intelligent actor in an upcoming sci-fi film b

is that what it's called b just lowercase b love it erica's

00:05:49.919 --> 00:05:55.199

00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:59.199
look forward to her being a huge dick to everyone on set she's embedded in the

00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:02.160
