00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:07.279
ltx 2019 starts tomorrow that's the biggest piece of tech news today and

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:11.599
we've wait what is this i don't know there's like a

00:00:10.719 --> 00:00:17.600
herd um oh a lot of

00:00:14.719 --> 00:00:21.680
people are here friends alex i i don't have that many friends

00:00:19.439 --> 00:00:27.920
not since i moved at west at least apple has acquired Intel's mobile modem chip

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:29.760
business for cool one billion dollars

00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:33.680
the announcement follows rumors that apple was considering buying the

00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:37.520
majority in Intel's modem division as a way to avoid working with qualcomm and

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:41.120
that's understandable given that apple has been enrolled and an obscene number

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:45.120
of copyright lawsuits with that company in the last couple years falcom and

00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:50.239
apple reaches settlement in april to drop all pending litigation but i'm sure

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:56.320
the ordeal has left a sour taste in both parties mouths

00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:56.320
like a like a bitter ipa

00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:02.160
apple's actually getting a pretty sick deal here Intel originally wanted

00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:06.720
several billion for the acquisition but their modem business was bleeding money

00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:10.960
so they had to sell it fast and after announcing they'd make their own 5g

00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:14.479
modem apple needed the resources analysts are predicting the acquisition

00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:20.000
will enable some apple devices to have 5g capability in 2022. at which point

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:25.200
apple can post a picture on instagram to show qualcomm they're just doing fine

00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:30.400
actually it's qualcomm it looks busted okay don't get it twisted

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:34.320
the merger of u.s cell carriers t-mobile in sprint has been approved by the

00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:38.159
justice department despite opposition from 13 states and the district of

00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:42.720
columbia wall proponents of the mergers say that the two companies will now be

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:44.400
able to deploy 5g network that covers 99

00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:48.560
of the population the problem is the deal brings down the number of major u.s

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:51.920
carriers from four to three so as part of the deal the doj is requiring

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:56.560
t-mobile and sprint to sell off spectrum licenses network access as well as the

00:01:54.240 --> 00:02:00.880
subsidiaries boost mobile and virgin mobile to television provider dish which

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

00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:09.520
good thing coming out of it the doj is also requiring dish and the new team

00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:13.040
mobile as the combined company will apparently be called to support e-sim

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:17.599
technology which would see the elimination of physical and annoyingly

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

00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:24.400
joke you just wrote joke okay and that's a joke

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:28.319
at bethesda's quakecon event this week the company announced that the original

00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:32.080
doom doom 2 and doom 3 are all available on nintendo switch playstation 4 and

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:35.920
xbox one nowadays it's a bit of a battle to

00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:40.080
preserve older games on modern platforms so that's pretty cool but what really

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

00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:48.319
account in order to play furthermore the three original dune games were actually

00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:54.400
already available on xbox one as backwards compatible xbox 360 titles but

00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:59.120
bethesda has completely delisted those versions and replacing them with the new

00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:05.519
updated versions which owners of the original versions would need to re-buy

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:07.120
really yeah stupid okay okay

00:03:05.519 --> 00:03:11.360
that's yeah that's now there's apparently some kind of

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:15.519
loophole involving downloading the free trial of the old games that worked for

00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:21.280
some people and if you have the physical disk for doom 3 bfg edition you can

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:23.680
still reinstall the old versions but

00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.680
really

00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:30.400
but if you have deleted them you just might be out of luck

00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:35.120
the new versions also add split screen play but they take away the previously

00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:38.560
blended no rest for the living expansion pack and

00:03:36.239 --> 00:03:43.760
all online play bethesda what are you doing we're used

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

00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:50.480

check it out at the link below alright like you're swearing ah quick bits

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:45.360
samsung has finished revising the design of the galaxy fold and has announced the

00:04:43.919 --> 00:04:49.040
phone will be shipping again in september the changes made include

00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:52.479
extending the screen's protective layer beyond the device's bezel so people

00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:57.360
don't mistake it for a screen protector because of course they would think that

00:04:54.560 --> 00:05:01.199
samsung are you daft additional measures have been taken to prevent debris from

00:04:58.880 --> 00:05:04.800
slipping inside the phone via hinges but that's not enough for t-mobile who say

00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:09.759
they won't carry the full because they already offer customers a wide range of

00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:16.880
the latest smartphones sure do they fold and break super easily

00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:16.880
don't knock it till you bent it

00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:23.360
in a completely unsurprising development turns out humans at apple hear audio

00:05:21.520 --> 00:05:26.960
recordings of people talking to siri as well contractors for apple told the

00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:31.440
guardian the recordings often contain confidential medical information drug

00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:35.919
deals sexual activities and all sorts of crazy stuff

00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:38.960
apples responding say it's only a small portion of syria crests that are

00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:42.960
analyzed by humans to improve dictation and etc

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:47.280
at least we know using any digital assistant comes with the cost of privacy

00:05:45.039 --> 00:05:52.960
but it's particularly hurtful coming from apple they said what happens on my

00:05:49.840 --> 00:05:55.680
iphone stays on my iphone which is

00:05:52.960 --> 00:05:58.880
particularly confusing given i don't even have one ah don't worry it stays

00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:04.479
there okay you're good yeah i already gave up giving out

00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:08.479
damn it frank zappata the french inventor of the flyboard failed in his

00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:13.199
attempt to cross the english channel on the jet powered platform he got halfway

00:06:11.280 --> 00:06:17.919
to refueling station and then apparently missed it by centimeters and fell into

00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:22.560
the sea but before that happened he looked pretty cool and by that measure i

00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:26.400
think the whole thing was a success louisiana has declared a state of

00:06:24.479 --> 00:06:30.960
emergency after ransomware infected multiple school districts in

00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:35.280
sabine morehouse files on school computers have been encrypted and can't

00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:38.880
be accessed state security professionals are looking into the issue but this

00:06:36.880 --> 00:06:42.400
attack is only the latest in a rash of ransomware infections that have been

00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:48.000
plaguing various u.s cities not much other to say than that but it just sucks

00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:52.319
saudi arabia is planning to build a futuristic city called nyom

00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:56.560
in the middle of the desert the city will have robots to work for humans

00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:59.919
flying taxis and even a fake moon

00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:05.199
made of a flight of drones the home would apparently host genetic

00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:06.240
modification projects to create humans

00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:12.479
who with greater strength and iq yeah that

00:07:09.520 --> 00:07:16.639
got dystopian really fast as cool that stuff would be to see let's hope its

00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:21.440
builders have a change of heart to use the money for something like

00:07:18.400 --> 00:07:22.960
worthwhile like giving out free gaming

00:07:21.440 --> 00:07:27.440
