1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,279
ltx 2019 starts tomorrow that's the biggest piece of tech news today and

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,599
we've wait what is this i don't know there's like a

3
00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:17,600
herd um oh a lot of

4
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:21,680
people are here friends alex i i don't have that many friends

5
00:00:19,439 --> 00:00:27,920
not since i moved at west at least apple has acquired Intel's mobile modem chip

6
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,760
business for cool one billion dollars

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:33,680
the announcement follows rumors that apple was considering buying the

8
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:37,520
majority in Intel's modem division as a way to avoid working with qualcomm and

9
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:41,120
that's understandable given that apple has been enrolled and an obscene number

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:45,120
of copyright lawsuits with that company in the last couple years falcom and

11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:50,239
apple reaches settlement in april to drop all pending litigation but i'm sure

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:56,320
the ordeal has left a sour taste in both parties mouths

13
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:56,320
like a like a bitter ipa

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:02,160
apple's actually getting a pretty sick deal here Intel originally wanted

15
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:06,720
several billion for the acquisition but their modem business was bleeding money

16
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:10,960
so they had to sell it fast and after announcing they'd make their own 5g

17
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:14,479
modem apple needed the resources analysts are predicting the acquisition

18
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:20,000
will enable some apple devices to have 5g capability in 2022. at which point

19
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:25,200
apple can post a picture on instagram to show qualcomm they're just doing fine

20
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:30,400
actually it's qualcomm it looks busted okay don't get it twisted

21
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:34,320
the merger of u.s cell carriers t-mobile in sprint has been approved by the

22
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:38,159
justice department despite opposition from 13 states and the district of

23
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:42,720
columbia wall proponents of the mergers say that the two companies will now be

24
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,400
able to deploy 5g network that covers 99

25
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:48,560
of the population the problem is the deal brings down the number of major u.s

26
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:51,920
carriers from four to three so as part of the deal the doj is requiring

27
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:56,560
t-mobile and sprint to sell off spectrum licenses network access as well as the

28
00:01:54,240 --> 00:02:00,880
subsidiaries boost mobile and virgin mobile to television provider dish which

29
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:05,280
will build out its own mobile network it's all a little messy but at least one

30
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:09,520
good thing coming out of it the doj is also requiring dish and the new team

31
00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:13,040
mobile as the combined company will apparently be called to support e-sim

32
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:17,599
technology which would see the elimination of physical and annoyingly

33
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:21,360
small sim cards do you have a joke i was gonna write one but then i just wrote

34
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,400
joke you just wrote joke okay and that's a joke

35
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:28,319
at bethesda's quakecon event this week the company announced that the original

36
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:32,080
doom doom 2 and doom 3 are all available on nintendo switch playstation 4 and

37
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,920
xbox one nowadays it's a bit of a battle to

38
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:40,080
preserve older games on modern platforms so that's pretty cool but what really

39
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:44,640
isn't cool is the fact that you're going to be forced to sign into a b-net

40
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:48,319
account in order to play furthermore the three original dune games were actually

41
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:54,400
already available on xbox one as backwards compatible xbox 360 titles but

42
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:59,120
bethesda has completely delisted those versions and replacing them with the new

43
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:05,519
updated versions which owners of the original versions would need to re-buy

44
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:07,120
really yeah stupid okay okay

45
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:11,360
that's yeah that's now there's apparently some kind of

46
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:15,519
loophole involving downloading the free trial of the old games that worked for

47
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:21,280
some people and if you have the physical disk for doom 3 bfg edition you can

48
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,680
still reinstall the old versions but

49
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,680
really

50
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:30,400
but if you have deleted them you just might be out of luck

51
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:35,120
the new versions also add split screen play but they take away the previously

52
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:38,560
blended no rest for the living expansion pack and

53
00:03:36,239 --> 00:03:43,760
all online play bethesda what are you doing we're used

54
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:49,680
to just pedaling out skyrim until you're blue in the face but this it's it's just

55
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,480
like a new type of evil it's 2019 you

56
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,959

57
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:59,040
quick bits brought to you by private internet access but what does it do i

level of privacy production that you need for online so with support for a

60

protection and internet kill switch which will block all traffic if the vpn

66
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:37,440

67
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:41,840
check it out at the link below alright like you're swearing ah quick bits

68
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,360
samsung has finished revising the design of the galaxy fold and has announced the

69
00:04:43,919 --> 00:04:49,040
phone will be shipping again in september the changes made include

70
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,479
extending the screen's protective layer beyond the device's bezel so people

71
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:57,360
don't mistake it for a screen protector because of course they would think that

72
00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:01,199
samsung are you daft additional measures have been taken to prevent debris from

73
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:04,800
slipping inside the phone via hinges but that's not enough for t-mobile who say

74
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:09,759
they won't carry the full because they already offer customers a wide range of

75
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:16,880
the latest smartphones sure do they fold and break super easily

76
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,880
don't knock it till you bent it

77
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:23,360
in a completely unsurprising development turns out humans at apple hear audio

78
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,960
recordings of people talking to siri as well contractors for apple told the

79
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:31,440
guardian the recordings often contain confidential medical information drug

80
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:35,919
deals sexual activities and all sorts of crazy stuff

81
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,960
apples responding say it's only a small portion of syria crests that are

82
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:42,960
analyzed by humans to improve dictation and etc

83
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:47,280
at least we know using any digital assistant comes with the cost of privacy

84
00:05:45,039 --> 00:05:52,960
but it's particularly hurtful coming from apple they said what happens on my

85
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:55,680
iphone stays on my iphone which is

86
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:58,880
particularly confusing given i don't even have one ah don't worry it stays

87
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:04,479
there okay you're good yeah i already gave up giving out

88
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:08,479
damn it frank zappata the french inventor of the flyboard failed in his

89
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:13,199
attempt to cross the english channel on the jet powered platform he got halfway

90
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:17,919
to refueling station and then apparently missed it by centimeters and fell into

91
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:22,560
the sea but before that happened he looked pretty cool and by that measure i

92
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:26,400
think the whole thing was a success louisiana has declared a state of

93
00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:30,960
emergency after ransomware infected multiple school districts in

94
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:35,280
sabine morehouse files on school computers have been encrypted and can't

95
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:38,880
be accessed state security professionals are looking into the issue but this

96
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,400
attack is only the latest in a rash of ransomware infections that have been

97
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:48,000
plaguing various u.s cities not much other to say than that but it just sucks

98
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:52,319
saudi arabia is planning to build a futuristic city called nyom

99
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:56,560
in the middle of the desert the city will have robots to work for humans

100
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,919
flying taxis and even a fake moon

101
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:05,199
made of a flight of drones the home would apparently host genetic

102
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,240
modification projects to create humans

103
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:12,479
who with greater strength and iq yeah that

104
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:16,639
got dystopian really fast as cool that stuff would be to see let's hope its

105
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:21,440
builders have a change of heart to use the money for something like

106
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,960
worthwhile like giving out free gaming
