WEBVTT 00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:09.679 Shakespeare and I both love talking about news. What news? What news? In 00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:11.920 this uh tottering state. Or though it be 00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:17.680 honest, it is never good to bring bad news. Ha, great stuff. But unlike the 00:00:14.719 --> 00:00:22.080 Bard's work, Tech News doesn't come in pentameter. 00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:27.359 Sorry to disappoint you. Windows 11's newest update is bringing along a brand 00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:32.960 new start menu that actually looks finished. The redesign combines pinned 00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:35.200 apps and all apps into one scrollable 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:41.120 view with new options including category, grid, or list. And you can 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:43.280 finally hide that cursed recommended 00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:47.840 section. Almost a literal curse. Like why? The updates rolling out gradually 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:52.160 over the next few weeks. But unlike Windows Millennium Edition, installing 00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:57.120 this one won't make you pray for a time traveler to eliminate it from existence. 00:00:54.239 --> 00:01:01.520 What I may pray for the elimination of is Microsoft's new marketing campaign 00:00:59.199 --> 00:01:05.519 for their C-pilot AI assistant, which involves recruiting social media 00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:10.080 influencers to convince people that Copilot is cool. This will work because 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:14.159 nothing says trustworthy productivity tools like Tik Tockers explaining how 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:18.400 they use AI to teach them Excel formulas between skincare routines. Are they 00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:24.799 actually doing that? And just to top it off, they are also testing Windows 11 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:27.040 26H1, the next major version of Windows, 00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:32.640 which will reportedly be focused on better ARM processor support instead of 00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:37.360 new features. So, we'll be paying for improvements to Windows on ARM by losing 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:42.079 improvements to Windows in general. Um, so yeah, new look, new marketing 00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:46.720 strategy, new hardware support, same indecipherable tactics. I think 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:53.520 Microsoft may be entering its influencer era. What's next? Mo's only fans. You're 00:01:50.880 --> 00:02:01.040 like, who's Mo exactly? Leaked benchmarks for AMD's unannounced Ryzen 7 00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:04.000 9700 X3D CPU have proven to be fake. On 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:08.319 Reddit, user a Canadian boy explained that basically he and his friends 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:15.680 altered what his system reported for a CPU, taking an overclocked 9700X and 00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:18.959 renaming it to 9700X 3D before running 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:21.280 it through Passmark. I am still 00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:27.200 processing the fact that Canadians would just go on the internet and tell lies. 00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:30.800 That's not At least they came clean about it in true Canadian fashion. 00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:35.040 Anyway, those benchmarks were then spotted and written about by tech news 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:40.000 outlets. And as pointed out on Reddit, this is a good example of why fans and 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:44.720 tech journalists shouldn't trust one-off online benchmarks. If you want a story 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:49.519 about an unreleased AMD CPU that you can put a bit more faith in, MicroEnter is 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:55.200 already selling a pre-built gaming PC featuring the unreleased Ryzen 5 00:02:52.879 --> 00:03:00.319 7500X3D. The build is $100 less than a similar PC 00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:05.280 with the officially released Ryzen 5 7600X3D with the only real difference 00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:09.519 being a slight clock speed drop. If Microenter makes a Reddit post admitting 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:14.239 they faked those pre-built PC listings with their buddies on the weekend, I am 00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:20.319 going to be livid. This happens to me all the time. Disneyowned channels have 00:03:16.720 --> 00:03:22.319 gone dark on YouTube TV as the two sides 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:26.800 debate terms for a new content distribution contract. Google has 00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:32.319 claimed that Disney is attempting to increase prices for users of Google's 00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:36.400 live TV over the internet service, while Disney asserts that Google is pursuing 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:41.360 special treatment and below market pricing. It's not fair. [laughter] In 00:03:39.519 --> 00:03:47.840 the midst of the heated battle between two greedy, gargantuan companies, Disney 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:52.959 streamed College Game Day for free on Twitter, which seems smart cuz college 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:57.599 football fans are intense. And surveys say YouTube TV subscribers are already 00:03:55.040 --> 00:04:04.317 becoming increasingly irate over the blackout. Ah, yes. The age-old solution 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:06.000 of throwing money at your problems. 00:04:04.317 --> 00:04:09.680 [snorts] >> That solved nothing. >> Don't worry about it. 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:13.599 >> I won't. And you won't have to worry about your business management needs 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:18.160 with our sponsor, Odo, the business management software with a full suite of 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:22.880 integrated apps. My pal approached me with a novelty hat business idea and it 00:04:20.799 --> 00:04:26.479 sounded neat, but I was overwhelmed by all the different aspects of business 00:04:24.400 --> 00:04:30.639 management. Luckily, ODU brings them all together on one userfriendly and 00:04:28.080 --> 00:04:34.240 customizable platform. On ODU, there's an app for everything our burgeoning 00:04:32.479 --> 00:04:38.080 business needs. There's apps for sales, inventory, accounting, invoicing, and 00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:41.280 loads of others. But for now, my pal and I only need the project app to 00:04:39.919 --> 00:04:44.560 effectively project manage and prioritize the first stages of our new 00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:50.240 business. And because we only need the one app, ODU is free. Yippee. So whether 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:53.199 you're starting a misguided business with your friend or just looking to 00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:57.440 bring all of your business management needs together on one platform, ODU is 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 00:04:59.520 --> 00:05:06.400 our link below. In a Midsummer Nights Dream, Puck says 00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:09.840 he can put a girdle around the Earth in 40 minutes. 00:05:07.919 --> 00:05:13.680 The quick bits can do it way faster, which is impressive, but does nothing to 00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:19.520 explain why we're putting girdles on things. SanDisk is reportedly hiking 00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:22.639 flash memory prices by up to 50% as AI 00:05:19.520 --> 00:05:25.039 demand sends nan costs skyrocketing, and 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:30.240 manufacturers cash in on the craze. Suppliers like Transcend and InnoDisk 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:35.280 are pausing shipments to rework pricing while consumers brace for pricier SSDs 00:05:33.039 --> 00:05:40.000 and memory cards. So, if you were eyeing that 4 TBTE drive for your Steam 00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:45.360 library, good luck. At this rate, backing up your files won't be about 00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:49.120 data safety. It'll be about diversifying 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:51.759 your investment portfolio. More like 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:59.039 a group of US lawyers have documented 509 cases of AI misuse in court filings, 00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:04.319 including fabricated citations and fake cases straight out of Chat GBT's 00:06:01.440 --> 00:06:07.759 imagination, which in a way is all of our imagination when you really think 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:13.520 about it. >> Yeah, >> Reddit. 00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:18.880 >> Reddit, which makes me ask how any of that is allowed. Well, turns out that 00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:23.280 judges and bar associations allow AI tools in legal work, provided that the 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:28.560 user takes responsibility for what they produce, which is great because nothing 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:32.960 says justice like your attorney blaming co-pilot for contempt of court. 00:06:30.479 --> 00:06:38.160 Contempt, that's even worse. The UK's National Cyber Security Center is 00:06:35.039 --> 00:06:40.880 probing whether Chinese-made UN electric 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:46.720 buses on British roads can be remotely disabled after Norway parked one in a 00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:52.160 mine and discovered that some models could in theory be shut down remotely by 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:56.000 Utah. Cyber security fears are an ongoing conversation with modern 00:06:53.840 --> 00:07:01.520 vehicles being able to receive remote updates, but remote shutdown is 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:05.360 definitely a newer concern. The next speed movie is going to be nuts. Instead 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 00:07:09.039 --> 00:07:19.680 to move. Gutjangling Thrills. >> Whoa. Listen, you got to start that bus. 00:07:16.400 --> 00:07:22.639 >> And Death Stranding 2's latest collab is 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:28.319 somehow entirely real. Cojima Productions and DNS are working on a 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:30.960 limited run of real exoskeletons based 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:37.520 on the in-game counterparts. Designed with Yoji Shinkawa, the Z1 Exoskeleton 00:07:35.039 --> 00:07:41.599 Pro Death Stranding 2 Edition boosts your walking power by 50%. Tracks 00:07:40.080 --> 00:07:45.440 battery life through special lights from the game and comes out just in time for 00:07:43.520 --> 00:07:50.080 Christmas, blurring the line between cosplay and physiootherapy. Do they have 00:07:48.400 --> 00:07:54.080 Christmas in Death Stranding? Ghost Christmas. I think Kajjima may have 00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:58.240 taken the Walking Simulator memes a little too seriously and decided to give 00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:04.080 us some real life DLC. See, I think if I was wearing this exoskeleton, I could 00:08:00.479 --> 00:08:05.680 have beaten Sammy in that race. 00:08:04.080 --> 00:08:12.560 We got to get this thing in. Shakespeare's a Henry V 6th was the real 00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:14.800 life DLC for Henry V, but our rebels now 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:19.599 are ended. So, come back on Wednesday for more tech news and probably some 00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:23.800 work for my second favorite storyteller, Michael Bay. That's a lie.
