1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,839
where would we be without tech news i'd probably still be in the bathroom

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,040
and you'd probably still be at your computer but we'd both be doing

3
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:13,840
something else reports are flying that microsoft will

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:18,000
be releasing an xbox one without an optical drive

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:22,080
sometime next year the move does kind of make sense considering that console

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:27,199
games are one of the last widespread uses of optical disks and the rising

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:32,079
tide of digital distribution is not to be prevented no matter how many

8
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:34,960
walls you build out of sand with your hands and try to keep the tide from

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,800
coming in it was a Channel Super Fun don't worry about it plus the console is

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:43,760
expected to be on the cheaper end of things as it is reportedly going to set

11
00:00:40,559 --> 00:00:46,000
consumers back less than 200 apiece

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:49,920
at that price don't expect the fancier hardware that you'd get on the xbox one

13
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:55,360
x though as the disc list version is reportedly an update of the original

14
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:58,480
xbox one microsoft is also offering a

15
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:00,239
trade-in program allowing users to swap

16
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:04,720
physical copies of games they already own for digital ones but it would be

17
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:08,720
nice if they could just let us keep our old gta discs to use as coasters i mean

18
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:14,799
what are they going to do with them make like cyber punky glasses or coasters

19
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:19,520
apple has historically not been shy about reporting its iphone sales figures

20
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:24,320
several times a year but it looks like they are no longer doing this for the

21
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:29,280
time being and this combined with reports that apple has recently slowed

22
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:34,159
production of the new iphone 10r 10s and 10s max looks like the company might be

23
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:38,079
facing disappointing sales for its current flagships especially as apple

24
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:42,320
was quick to scale back production of the iphone 8 once it realized that the

25
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:46,960
higher spec iphone 10 would end up being far more popular indeed apple hasn't had

26
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:51,360
great luck with its devices targeted at a slightly lower market segment as the

27
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:55,520
more affordable iphone 10r appears to be the hardest hit of the three new devices

28
00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:00,560
with apple scaling back production by up to one third of its original plan apple

29
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:06,000
it's time to face the facts and release an Android-powered iphone it's gonna

30
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:08,720
sell like hotcakes which i'm told

31
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,760
sell really well yeah i actually only found out recently hot cakes are

32
00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:15,680
pancakes that's what they are so i don't know why we don't just say they sell like

33
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:19,520
pancakes yeah me too are you the type of person

34
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:23,440
that primarily watches netflix from your bed on your smartphone well you might be

35
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:28,239
able to save a few bucks on your netflix bill in the near future as the streaming

36
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:33,360
giant is rolling out a mobile-only subscription plan that only costs about

37
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:37,280
half of a standard subscription under the new plan users will be limited to

38
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:42,080
watching on only one phone or tablet at a time in standard def and right now

39
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:46,800
it's only available in certain countries in asia with the malaysian newspaper the

40
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:50,959
star reporting that the mobile exclusive subscription only costs about four us

41
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:56,400
dollars a month which is quite a bit better less less more you know what forget it

42
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:01,040
which is quite a bit less than even the one screen basic tier and now it's time

43
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:05,599
for cracker snaps seasonal that's cool brought to you by

44
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:09,040
the massdrop nuforce edc in-ear monitors they have a single six-millimeter

45
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,640
dynamic driver on each side with both channels closely matched for accurate

46
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:16,159
sounds you can wear them anywhere and they feature a lightweight plastic

47
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,879
housing built to stand up to regular use they come with two removable braided

48
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:24,800
cables and you can pick them up on mouse drop right now but not yet after the

49
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,879
video for only 59.99 at the link below

50
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:31,760
you've probably seen the on-demand movie rentals on youtube and then quickly

51
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:36,319
scrolled on but now the company is experimenting with free ad-supported

52
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:41,440
rentals as well currently only about a hundred movies are being offered

53
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:44,879
including such um up-to-date

54
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,720
offerings as the original terminator and

55
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:51,360
legally blonde and those are even the ones you should

56
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:55,680
care about so it's unclear how big the collection will get but this could be an

57
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:59,680
interesting way for advertisers to get on the platform while avoiding having

58
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:04,879
their ads run against videos that they find questionable and a way to you know

59
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:08,480
catch up on fantastic movies like kingpin i actually don't know if

60
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:15,360
kingpin's in there but i suspect it's the kind of movie they

61
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:16,959
would have that's a stinker man

62
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,199
i was way over here i thought it was fine it took a while for it to give me

63
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:25,919
but man can't get enough of online comments well google thinks you can't

64
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:30,960
because it appears that they will be adding the ability for users to add

65
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:35,120
comments in search results currently the feature is restricted to

66
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:39,520
live sporting events but in the future there could be no limit to where we can

67
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:44,800
strike up a flamewar wow speaking of flames the fix pubg campaign

68
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:49,680
which was run by the developers of the game has come to an end and while a

69
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:54,639
number of bugs appear to have actually been fixed based on user feedback the

70
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:59,680
game's review score has taken a big dip on steam recently as many gamers are

71
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:04,160
saying that the fixes introduced other bugs and an excessive amount of paid

72
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:08,720
content pubg pub g it's k you're kind of like

73
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:12,960
fortnite but with character you know like a junker car that

74
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:18,800
you know it's kind of like that other car that goes faster and you know every

75
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:22,160
time but only starts when you kind of hit it

76
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:26,639
and speaking of cars it looks like tesla has finally made their cars harder to

77
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:30,720
steal following high-profile reports of so-called relay theft where thieves

78
00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:35,520
would wirelessly grab the signal from the key fob and relay it to the car

79
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:38,960
allowing bad guys to drive off with it after which they would usually turn off

80
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:44,160
the car's gps tracker to conceal their movements from police well tesla now

81
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:49,199
requires a code now requires a code to disable gps

82
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:53,039
tracking which should make stolen vehicles much easier to recover i mean

83
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:58,880
they're still gonna get stolen but the car chases they'll be so much more fun

84
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,320
