if you see someone on the street without any tech news consider sparing some of
your own in fact you can show them this video
we're helping in an apparent win for the right to
repair movement microsoft is committed to make parts and documentation for its
devices more available to third-party repair shops and to investigate making
its devices more repairable by the end of 2022 wait till you see our surface
studio book review and it's not just surface level either
they're also going on an apology tour for anyone who accidentally bricked
their surface that's a joke the move comes after shareholders who are members
of the advocacy group as you so filed a resolution asking microsoft to do this
very thing
so the good stuff and i'm not a farmer
as you so noted this is just a step in the right direction and that microsoft
is still a member of lobbying groups that oppose right to repair bills but
give him some time i mean even lewis rossman seems as happy about this as
louis rossman can conceivably be he's a very sassy man that's why his smiles
mean so much they're special the nintendo switch OLED edition is
officially available to buy and by available we mean the new definition of
the word that means theoretically available consumer electronic stock is
kind of more of a abstract concept right now it's more of a metaphor you know
it's like stock it's a thing that exists
in smash bros reviews have described it as a bit
better and the screen looks nice but perhaps the most needed upgrade was
redesigned joy cons nintendo says these ones are a bit better but don't expect
them to be immune from the dreaded stick drift issue that has plagued the console
since launch also there's a screen protector on there that isn't actually a
screen protector and is actually just part of the screen so don't go all
galaxy fold gen 1 on this thing please
that did not end well you hear that Anthony
he's unboxing it right now little bts for you k-pop band and after fixing
the configuration error that caused facebook's various social platforms to

facebook and instagram users again experience connection issues for a few
hours today instagram said they fixed their issue and thanked everyone for
their patience and memes making instagram officially the most beta
social app ever don't thank us we hate you
that's not a meme thank god
and again facebook's issues came the day after more controversy related to the
platform in the form of a slate article written by louis barclay barclay barclay
the developer of unfollow everything a tool that allowed users to automatically
unfollow all their friends groups and pages without unfriending them this
empties your news feed allowing you to check in on what you want to without
being tempted to scroll all the way down to depression that's a that's what's at
the bottom if you never got there
anyway facebook banned barclay for life when his tool which did break facebook's
terms of service to be fair was used in a study of the news feed's impact on
user happiness and i'm really just including this because unfollow everything sounds kind of genius there

i didn't think about this one after twitch the whole thing leaked earlier
this week some users noticed a weird background on the site's dedicated game
pages which turned out to be a meme photo of jeff bezos
you did it it's possible this was achieved with cash poisoning which
wouldn't have required any of twitch's leaked data but it's still funny when a
major amazon-owned thing gets messed with it's punching up all the way to
space well not quite
blue they were on the rocket they didn't go all the way
the judge in the epic games versus apple case ruled that the app store must allow
third party payment options and now a company called paddle has announced the
first alternative payment system for iOS apps they haven't actually launched yet
but as you could guess epic ceo tim sweeney is over the moon and by moon i
mean moon river he didn't go to space either no he's very upset he stuck up
the river without a paddle okay i'm sorry i just the point is fortnite
doesn't come back to iphones all right got em uk media giant sky has unveiled
the sky glass a thick boy tv that looks a bit like the unnatural offspring of an
xbox series x and an imac i'm interested uh it's actually
interesting for a few reasons there's no set top box or dish required and it has
impressive built-in speakers but more importantly it can plug into skye's 4k
camera with motion control and gesture support made in collaboration with
microsoft you can play games with it with motion oh my god that's a microsoft
connect yes i do not want it but i'm just happy it's
happy it's a smart tv with fewer options
it can watch you now
speaking of microsoft they've upgraded their xbox cloud gaming backend to xbox
series x hardware meaning graphics frame rates and loading time should all get a
boost while streaming games from the web listen do any of you actually stream
games i mean not on twitch like do you play
streaming games leave a comment below because Linus apparently still thinks
you don't exist i'm on your side i think you are real
and google's not really going to have anything to unveil on october 19th if
all these pixel 6 leaks continue the latest one shows a complete teardown and
reassembly of the pixel 6 and 6 pro i
mean it's like doing a blind taste test where they tell you what you're about to eat what's even the point of getting the
phone if i know where all the little connectors are i want to taste it for myself you
weren't gonna tear it down i wasn't gonna lick it
