1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:09,679 Shakespeare and I both love talking about news. What news? What news? In 2 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:11,920 this uh tottering state. Or though it be 3 00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:17,680 honest, it is never good to bring bad news. Ha, great stuff. But unlike the 4 00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:22,080 Bard's work, Tech News doesn't come in pentameter. 5 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:27,359 Sorry to disappoint you. Windows 11's newest update is bringing along a brand 6 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:32,960 new start menu that actually looks finished. The redesign combines pinned 7 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:35,200 apps and all apps into one scrollable 8 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:41,120 view with new options including category, grid, or list. And you can 9 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:43,280 finally hide that cursed recommended 10 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:47,840 section. Almost a literal curse. Like why? The updates rolling out gradually 11 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,160 over the next few weeks. But unlike Windows Millennium Edition, installing 12 00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:57,120 this one won't make you pray for a time traveler to eliminate it from existence. 13 00:00:54,239 --> 00:01:01,520 What I may pray for the elimination of is Microsoft's new marketing campaign 14 00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:05,519 for their C-pilot AI assistant, which involves recruiting social media 15 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:10,080 influencers to convince people that Copilot is cool. This will work because 16 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,159 nothing says trustworthy productivity tools like Tik Tockers explaining how 17 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,400 they use AI to teach them Excel formulas between skincare routines. Are they 18 00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:24,799 actually doing that? And just to top it off, they are also testing Windows 11 19 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:27,040 26H1, the next major version of Windows, 20 00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:32,640 which will reportedly be focused on better ARM processor support instead of 21 00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:37,360 new features. So, we'll be paying for improvements to Windows on ARM by losing 22 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:42,079 improvements to Windows in general. Um, so yeah, new look, new marketing 23 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:46,720 strategy, new hardware support, same indecipherable tactics. I think 24 00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:53,520 Microsoft may be entering its influencer era. What's next? Mo's only fans. You're 25 00:01:50,880 --> 00:02:01,040 like, who's Mo exactly? Leaked benchmarks for AMD's unannounced Ryzen 7 26 00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:04,000 9700 X3D CPU have proven to be fake. On 27 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:08,319 Reddit, user a Canadian boy explained that basically he and his friends 28 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:15,680 altered what his system reported for a CPU, taking an overclocked 9700X and 29 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:18,959 renaming it to 9700X 3D before running 30 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:21,280 it through Passmark. I am still 31 00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:27,200 processing the fact that Canadians would just go on the internet and tell lies. 32 00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:30,800 That's not At least they came clean about it in true Canadian fashion. 33 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:35,040 Anyway, those benchmarks were then spotted and written about by tech news 34 00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:40,000 outlets. And as pointed out on Reddit, this is a good example of why fans and 35 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:44,720 tech journalists shouldn't trust one-off online benchmarks. If you want a story 36 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:49,519 about an unreleased AMD CPU that you can put a bit more faith in, MicroEnter is 37 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:55,200 already selling a pre-built gaming PC featuring the unreleased Ryzen 5 38 00:02:52,879 --> 00:03:00,319 7500X3D. The build is $100 less than a similar PC 39 00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:05,280 with the officially released Ryzen 5 7600X3D with the only real difference 40 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:09,519 being a slight clock speed drop. If Microenter makes a Reddit post admitting 41 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:14,239 they faked those pre-built PC listings with their buddies on the weekend, I am 42 00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:20,319 going to be livid. This happens to me all the time. Disneyowned channels have 43 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:22,319 gone dark on YouTube TV as the two sides 44 00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:26,800 debate terms for a new content distribution contract. Google has 45 00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:32,319 claimed that Disney is attempting to increase prices for users of Google's 46 00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:36,400 live TV over the internet service, while Disney asserts that Google is pursuing 47 00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:41,360 special treatment and below market pricing. It's not fair. [laughter] In 48 00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:47,840 the midst of the heated battle between two greedy, gargantuan companies, Disney 49 00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:52,959 streamed College Game Day for free on Twitter, which seems smart cuz college 50 00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:57,599 football fans are intense. And surveys say YouTube TV subscribers are already 51 00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:04,317 becoming increasingly irate over the blackout. Ah, yes. The age-old solution 52 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:06,000 of throwing money at your problems. 53 00:04:04,317 --> 00:04:09,680 [snorts] >> That solved nothing. >> Don't worry about it. 54 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,599 >> I won't. And you won't have to worry about your business management needs 55 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:18,160 with our sponsor, Odo, the business management software with a full suite of 56 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:22,880 integrated apps. My pal approached me with a novelty hat business idea and it 57 00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:26,479 sounded neat, but I was overwhelmed by all the different aspects of business 58 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:30,639 management. Luckily, ODU brings them all together on one userfriendly and 59 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:34,240 customizable platform. On ODU, there's an app for everything our burgeoning 60 00:04:32,479 --> 00:04:38,080 business needs. There's apps for sales, inventory, accounting, invoicing, and 61 00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:41,280 loads of others. But for now, my pal and I only need the project app to 62 00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:44,560 effectively project manage and prioritize the first stages of our new 63 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:50,240 business. And because we only need the one app, ODU is free. Yippee. So whether 64 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,199 you're starting a misguided business with your friend or just looking to 65 00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:57,440 bring all of your business management needs together on one platform, ODU is 66 00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:02,240 for you. And you can try a 15-day trial, a free trial, or book a demo by using 67 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:06,400 our link below. In a Midsummer Nights Dream, Puck says 68 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,840 he can put a girdle around the Earth in 40 minutes. 69 00:05:07,919 --> 00:05:13,680 The quick bits can do it way faster, which is impressive, but does nothing to 70 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:19,520 explain why we're putting girdles on things. SanDisk is reportedly hiking 71 00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:22,639 flash memory prices by up to 50% as AI 72 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:25,039 demand sends nan costs skyrocketing, and 73 00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:30,240 manufacturers cash in on the craze. Suppliers like Transcend and InnoDisk 74 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:35,280 are pausing shipments to rework pricing while consumers brace for pricier SSDs 75 00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:40,000 and memory cards. So, if you were eyeing that 4 TBTE drive for your Steam 76 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:45,360 library, good luck. At this rate, backing up your files won't be about 77 00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:49,120 data safety. It'll be about diversifying 78 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:51,759 your investment portfolio. More like 79 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:59,039 a group of US lawyers have documented 509 cases of AI misuse in court filings, 80 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:04,319 including fabricated citations and fake cases straight out of Chat GBT's 81 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:07,759 imagination, which in a way is all of our imagination when you really think 82 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,520 about it. >> Yeah, >> Reddit. 83 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:18,880 >> Reddit, which makes me ask how any of that is allowed. Well, turns out that 84 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:23,280 judges and bar associations allow AI tools in legal work, provided that the 85 00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:28,560 user takes responsibility for what they produce, which is great because nothing 86 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:32,960 says justice like your attorney blaming co-pilot for contempt of court. 87 00:06:30,479 --> 00:06:38,160 Contempt, that's even worse. The UK's National Cyber Security Center is 88 00:06:35,039 --> 00:06:40,880 probing whether Chinese-made UN electric 89 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:46,720 buses on British roads can be remotely disabled after Norway parked one in a 90 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:52,160 mine and discovered that some models could in theory be shut down remotely by 91 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:56,000 Utah. Cyber security fears are an ongoing conversation with modern 92 00:06:53,840 --> 00:07:01,520 vehicles being able to receive remote updates, but remote shutdown is 93 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:05,360 definitely a newer concern. The next speed movie is going to be nuts. Instead 94 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:12,000 of trying to keep a bus from slowing down, Kean is going to be paying a Chinese business a ransom to get the bus 95 00:07:09,039 --> 00:07:19,680 to move. Gutjangling Thrills. >> Whoa. Listen, you got to start that bus. 96 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:22,639 >> And Death Stranding 2's latest collab is 97 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:28,319 somehow entirely real. Cojima Productions and DNS are working on a 98 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,960 limited run of real exoskeletons based 99 00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:37,520 on the in-game counterparts. Designed with Yoji Shinkawa, the Z1 Exoskeleton 100 00:07:35,039 --> 00:07:41,599 Pro Death Stranding 2 Edition boosts your walking power by 50%. Tracks 101 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:45,440 battery life through special lights from the game and comes out just in time for 102 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:50,080 Christmas, blurring the line between cosplay and physiootherapy. Do they have 103 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:54,080 Christmas in Death Stranding? Ghost Christmas. I think Kajjima may have 104 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:58,240 taken the Walking Simulator memes a little too seriously and decided to give 105 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:04,080 us some real life DLC. See, I think if I was wearing this exoskeleton, I could 106 00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:05,680 have beaten Sammy in that race. 107 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:12,560 We got to get this thing in. Shakespeare's a Henry V 6th was the real 108 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:14,800 life DLC for Henry V, but our rebels now 109 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:19,599 are ended. So, come back on Wednesday for more tech news and probably some 110 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:23,800 work for my second favorite storyteller, Michael Bay. That's a lie.
