mmm let go of your inhibitions baby let that tech news move ya
oh yeah apple likes to talk big about security and privacy you know what
happens on your iphone stays on your iphone so they've introduced features
like app tracking transparency to stop companies like meta big scary from using
your data to serve you as well according to everyone's favorite apple leaker mark
german apple plans to serve iphone users their own ads now that they've crippled
other companies advertising power on iOS oh jeez this this sounds like
anti-trust german says apple has set an internal
goal to increase advertising revenue from 4 billion per year to more than 10
billion 10 billion oh is that the is that a dead
meme which explains why some users are already starting to see ads in their iOS
news and stocks apps even if they paid for an apple news subscription that
sucks but don't worry it's better for apple to collect your data and use it for ads
because they're the trustworthy silicon valley corporation
wait what's that security researcher michael horowitz vpns on os have been
leaking data for years because of an os design flaw
well that's what you get when you don't use apple's in-house private relay vpn
that isn't really a vpn the problem really is using anything not made by
apple that's that's where you get issues we see this a lot best experience gotta
get an apple product Intel is dropping features from their
art gpus before our gpus have even dropped jeez
wow team blue has announced that its graphics cards and 12 gen cpus will no
longer include native support for applications and games based on directx
9 which allows Intel to focus on optimizing their drivers for the newer
directx 11 and 12 which they desperately need to do
the directx 12 is not so bad but dx11 yeah yeah yeah that's not to say Intel
chips won't run dx9 software microsoft have stepped in with d3d9 on 12 which is
not actually a star wars droid but an open source conversion layer for directx
12. easy mistake hey how's it going little d9x 3d 497.
emulating directx 9 could come with a performance hit but if that doesn't
matter to you it looks like the first arc GPU has finally been listed at a
north american retailer with an asrock a380 already on backorder and new egg
for 140 bucks early adopters who took on the burden of finding out whether this
card is worth buying or not we salute you i did not want to do that you're the
best we already did a video on it but we're just going to pretend like we
didn't i didn't okay good point riley and some wacky hackers have installed
doom on another wacky thing a john deere's tractor computer system wow that
actually is super wacky and actually technically and politically significant
see john deere has been at the center of the right to repair issues with farmers
depending on authorized repair centers after the company restricted access to
their tractor systems this jailbreak achieved by australian hacker sick codes
all so sick and demoed at defcon last weekend opens the door for farmers to
actually fix their own equipment like they used to before the doggone pooters
came around and signed up all the pigs for tick-tock they're all going viral
pig talk in the interest of fairness some have pointed out that tractors
aren't fridges so running doom on powerful farming equipment carries some
potential danger really but i think most tractor owners would take the risk over
leaving it stuck in a field while you're waiting for a service call if you're gonna do that you might as well get in a
few games of doom anyways
i know does it have like land support now it's time for quick bits brought to
you by brilliant the interactive and visually stimulating way to learn about

will help you start your algebra journey with fun puzzles and problems that let
you use your intuition go with your gut there are a lot of nerve endings in
there it's time to further your knowledge with brilliant today so use
the link in the description and the first 200 people will save 20 off a year

at night quick bits fly through the window and into my ear whispering sweet
nothings it's really kind of terrifying
why are you in my room again recent rumors that NVIDIA would delay the
launch of its rtx 4000 series cards have gotten stronger i thought they had like
a bunch extra whatever with multiple sources reporting
that the lineup from the rtx 4080 and below would not be released until 2023.
apparently the rtx 4090 is still on track to launch in october which i'm
sure will be a huge relief to the absolute ballers worried that they might
be stuck gaming on something other than the highest end GPU anyone can buy
they have just been a mess those poor darlings they've just been waiting
poor poor rich people Android 13 is officially launched
but if you have a pixel 6 6 pro or 6a you better make sure you want to accept
that update once you do you'll be stuck on Android 13 forever
right right thanks to a bootloader update google says this was necessary to
patch a vulnerability in the phone's bootloader and not because google needs
people to stick on a newer os because apple is bullying them
with
the best ads airbnb says they've achieved a
breakthrough and cracking down on fun wow jeez
what a hoot you must be fun at parties speaking of parties the company said
it's rolling out an anti-party technology which it says caused a 35
drop in unauthorized parties during a trial run in australia god australia
just in the news today baby the company has
struggled to combat the practice of guest throwing unwanted house parties
without worrying about having to talk to the annoyed neighbors the next morning
it's still kind of unclear what this anti-party technology consists of beyond
screening users for warning signs but if there aren't fun reduction bots involved
i'll be disappointed you know we could probably hack this
onto a tractor pc gamers are having a great time
modding marvel's spider-man the latest playstation exclusive to come to steam
but they've also found references in the game's code to a playstation launcher
app for pc such a launcher could allow players to link their psn accounts and
potentially even cross buy games on separate platforms even if it does mean
that you need to add yet another publisher-specific app i'd do it for
spider-man i wouldn't actually
anybody could be spiderman are you spiderman and the samsung odyssey arc is
massive and weird but not as much as the mobile pixels geminos which may be the
world's first folding clamshell monitor what fits in your pocket crazy
okay it's made up of two 24 24-inch 75 hertz displays it definitely doesn't fit
in your pocket and has blown past its 32 000 goal to raise more than 2 million on
kickstarter we're not suggesting you jump on the bandwagon but we are
suggesting that maybe you get outside your comfort zone a little bit it's 2022
monitors are weird now get used to it phones are weird now tractors are weird
now everything is weird i'll tell you what makes me
uncomfortable the fact that we're out of tech news but come back on friday and
we'll have some more until then i'll be in the corner softly weeping
