Colton you're back i'm back baby you're gonna say something this time i'm gonna
try yeah it's like the biggest troll ever was heckling by being silent
do you have an extra two thousand dollars just laying around that you'd like to spend on something that could
just easily break well you're in luck as the samsung galaxy fold is finally set to release on
friday 18t will be the only carrier to offer the phone to start with but
unlocked models will also be available through samsung and best buy samsung has
reportedly incorporated a number of fixes for the phone's widely reported
issues that professional reviewers noticed back in april including sealing
the hinges to prevent debris or schmoo as alex calls it from getting in there
fitting the edge of the protective layer under the bezel so you can't peel it off
and incorporating extra layers of metal to make the phone sturdier overall
however the device is probably still going to be more fragile than your
average smartphone so try not to drop it Linus
google was recently caught with its pants down regarding its internal
program that had actual humans listening in on the okay
google conversations so the tech giant is now making some changes the company
said that anyone who opts into their voice and audio activity feature will be
explicitly reminded that actual employees might listen in and that they
would also vastly reduce how much user-generated audio they keep
on their own servers or their servers in general the plan is for google to delete
most audio that's older than several months but it isn't clear how they'll
decide which snippets to keep ultimately though it should be good news
for privacy conscious folks when the policy does go into effect next year in
the meantime try not to google too many questions about that uh weird rash that
doesn't go away Colton i've got four of those things in

that play fortnite or pub g on your iphone a fix is coming for iOS 13 issue
that's essentially rendered those games unplayable a three finger press which is
my favorite kind of press brings up the text editing commands in the latest
version of apple's mobile os but unfortunately players often have to use
three fingers on the screen in those games which brings up the iOS options
during gameplay sucky there isn't an option to disable
this feature right now so apple is pushing out a fix tomorrow which will prevent the commands from coming up if
the user isn't editing text and will give flexibility to developers to keep
users from activating them inadvertently if only there was a similar thing to
keep me from tweeting under the influence i'm a drunk tweeter
you're drunk don't do that i always at you yup you up
