oh boy it's an exciting day as AMD's third generation ryzen cpus have been
released five models are hitting store shelves initially ranging from the six
core 12 thread ryzen 5 3600 up to the 12
core 24 thread ryzen 9 3900 x with the
16 core model coming in september the entire ryzen 3rd gen family uses the 7
nanometer manufacturing process which is a first for desktop consumer cpus and
will also increase performance while decreasing power consumption early
reviews including the one from our sister channel Linus tech tips were very
positive as the new ryzen ships best Intel in quite a few categories and
offer excellent value for money though they still lag behind just a bit in
single threaded performance but it's cool to see how AMD has risen to the
challenge and is really putting pressure on Intel
you know rising up yeah we got to get rid of that joke
it's over keeping it it's over never
you've probably told an app at some point that it doesn't have permission to collect certain kinds of data but
unsurprisingly many of them do anyway a recent study indicated over a thousand
apps on the google play store collected personal data even after users set the
apps not to do that that's scary apparently the researchers that
conducted the study alerted google to the problems last fall and google in
turn promised to address these problems in Android q by making it tougher for
apps to get their hands on whatever information they want although the
offending apps are only a small fraction of what's available in the play store
some of those apps are quite popular much of the shared data was tied to
geolocation so hopefully your crazy ex didn't decide to become an app developer
recently because it can be quite lucrative
yeah oh no yeah i know i got to watch out
app developers yep there aren't many things that are more
annoying than autoplaying video unexpectedly screeching at you when
you're trying to read an article but google thinks that they might have the
solution to this ever so pressing societal problem the software giant is
looking at adding a feature to the chrome browser that would allow you to
control any video on the page from the address bar and stop any offending video
without having to hunt for it on the page the feature is currently in beta
testing and reportedly doesn't work perfectly but if you're curious you can
try it out by downloading the latest version of the canary browser which is
chrome's dev version i think an easier solution would be just to stop baking
auto playing videos into web pages but i'd also like world peace it'll be a
while before they add that as a chrome feature
yeah this is serious okay

huawei is reportedly developing its own hongmeng os in case continuing sanctions
from the united states mean that it can't use Android on its phones however
huawei has claimed that its os will probably be 60 faster than Android that's pretty fast
even if that's true it's anyone's guess as to whether it'll catch on or go the
way of the hd dvd that was a big oof
yeah oof oof remember those yeah i do actually they're terrible amazon wants
to launch over 3 000 satellites into orbit in order to provide internet
service and has just asked the fcc for permission to do so the hope is to cover
about 95 of the world population with ka
band internet connectivity which is quicker than previous implementations of
satellite internet three thousand satellites is a lot but spacex is
planning to launch nearly four times as many by the mid-2020s hopefully whomever
wins the race to blanket the earth and satellites won't use their powers to
track out what we're likely to buy on amazon but who are we kidding did you
say whomever whomever messiah good sir
yes amazon prime day is just around the corner and while its distribution
centers around the us will certainly be busy one location looks like it will be
bracing for a strike workers at an amazon warehouse in minnesota will be
striking for six hours on prime day to draw attention to the desire for more
permanent job opportunities amazon hasn't commented but their large number
of fulfillment centers should prevent the strike from having a huge impact
good for us shoppers terrible for them
facebook is fighting a never-ending war against fake news but it turns out that
it has one program it developed to fight fake news about itself dubbed storm
chaser the software keeps an eye out for people making untrue claims about
facebook and even sending out messages to respond in some cases while it's
understandable for them to want to protect their brand image some have criticized the company for not instead
diverting the resources to fight fake news about more sensitive topics like
politics i wonder what stormchaser would think of the claims that zuck is
actually a robot or what if stormchaser is zuck
yeah that's good and as common as offensive comments are on instagram
users may soon have a powerful tool to cut down on harassment the company is
testing a shadow banning feature that will hide in offending users comments
from everyone but themselves so they won't know that they've been banned the
feature will be officially called restricting and is one of instagram's
many recent attempts to curb harassment because asking people to be excellent to
each other is like asking Android and iOS fans to get along
i was never talking to another hey do you use an Android i hate you
no i'm an Android guy oh thank goodness
