WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.560
welcome back to tech lead everybody and today it's ew

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:12.800
james i'm not saying that that's gross you do what with the kiwi

00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:14.400
what the heck say it

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:17.920
no no god this is a tech news show the right

00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:21.279
to repair movement has won a major victory as the u.s federal government

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:25.680
has essentially made it legal for citizens to bypass digital rights

00:00:23.279 --> 00:00:29.679
management or drm systems in order to repair their devices the new rules come

00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:33.840
from the library of congress and the u.s copyright office in the form of several

00:00:31.599 --> 00:00:38.480
new exemptions to the digital millennium copyright act or dmca which criminalizes

00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:42.559
copyright infringement they don't serve to make drm illegal but they do include

00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:47.120
broad protections for users who bypass drm and other technological protection

00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:50.320
measures for the maintenance of a device or system in order to make it work in

00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:55.280
accordance with its original specifications so jailbreaking and

00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:58.000
unlocking phones is fair game as part of this

00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:01.359
yeah there's even protections for modifying games or other software that

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:05.439
doesn't work properly anymore when online functionality is shut off like

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:13.840
when game servers are shut down yeah this is glorious news especially

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:13.840
for bob the builder fans can we fix it

00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:21.360
you're supposed to spoil the gas i'm supposed to say yes we can

00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:25.759
and Android phone manufacturers can fix their devices also as google has now

00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:29.280
made it mandatory for oems to release more regular security and software

00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:33.200
updates a new licensing agreement has google requiring Android device makers

00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:37.040
to provide at least four security updates for a device within one year of

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:41.280
its launch and to provide regular software updates for two years after

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:45.200
launch if specific security flaws are identified by google the oem has 90 days

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:49.520
to push a patch out if device manufacturers fail to abide by the terms

00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:53.840
of the agreement google could withhold approval of future devices this is

00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:57.200
excellent yes because out of all the phones in the Android universe really

00:01:55.520 --> 00:02:02.320
only pixels have gotten software updates within any with any timeliness or

00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:04.000
regularity but now non-pixel peasants

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:07.320
can join our brothers in the sun

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:16.000
wow i thought we were going to add that in post but now we don't have to

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:19.840
wow feels good and twitch has announced a

00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:23.599
number of interesting updates at twitchcon where else squad streaming

00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:28.480
will enable up to four streamers to squad stream their stream makes sense

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.480
squad

would you like to join my squad oh

00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:37.280
yes so independent streamers can link their stream so you can watch multiple

00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:41.599
people in split screen that's how that works meanwhile twitch sings is a

00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:46.239
karaoke game that well karaoke should be pretty straightforward

00:02:43.519 --> 00:02:50.319
snap inc maker of snapchat james that's a app that the young people use

00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:55.280

that you'll be able to rent for 30 bucks a month altogether streaming is more

00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:15.570
accessible and exciting than ever but if everyone is streaming then who's

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:18.810
watching this stream

00:03:24.239 --> 00:03:29.360

unidentified new vega GPU has been spotted by videocards.com in the

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:17.759
benchmark results for final fantasy xv there's no definitive information on

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:22.079
whether this might be an existing Radeon instinct workstation card with display

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:26.720
connectors attached or a new rx vega gaming card but it's sat just under the

00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:32.800
gtx 1080 and score so hopefully it's not AMD's next election

00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.800

00:04:32.880 --> 00:04:38.240

neutrality bill after the fcc claimed the proposed legislation would be

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:49.919
illegal not if it passed though then it would be legal
