00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:05.839
some days you read the tech news

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:11.040
other days the tech news

00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:15.120
it reads you samsung galaxy fold devices weren't in

00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:18.560
reviewers hands for long before they started breaking partly due to user

00:00:17.119 --> 00:00:24.240
error but also partly due to the device's design ifixit published one of

00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:27.439
their extensive teardowns of the fold as they usually do for new tech

00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:31.760
highlighting the fragility of the OLED display the gaps in the hinge where

00:00:29.599 --> 00:00:37.040
particles of gunk can get in and the apparent lack of proper fold testing

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:43.120
well samsung understandably doesn't want all that bad press out there in the wild

00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:46.000
so they asked ifixit to tear down the

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:48.719
down ifixit doesn't technically have to comply with samsung's request but they

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:54.079
did allegedly out of respect so i guess that

00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:57.280
worked out okay for samsung except now in addition to talking about how the

00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:01.920
fold was messed up we're talking about how samsung took down an article about

00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:05.840
the fold being messed up and that's messed up it's called the streisand

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:09.119
effect oh why because it makes

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:13.360
it makes you into a successful singer and actress very

00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:17.119
adored beloved love barb when the epic game store

00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:23.280
launched back in december it was initially praised for only taking a 12

00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:25.759
cut of game sales leaving a fat 88 for

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:30.080
developers steam by contrast gives developers around 70 to 80

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:34.720
uh depending on how many titles they've sold but many pc gamers opinions of the

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:40.000
epic game store soured when they started announcing a huge number of exclusive

00:01:37.119 --> 00:01:43.920
games which would not release on steam at all well now epic game ceo tim

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:48.640
sweeney says there'll be a simple solution for that he tweeted that if

00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:52.640
steem committed to a permanent 88 revenue share for developers epic would

00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:57.840
not only stop the exclusives but also consider putting their own games like

00:01:54.720 --> 00:02:00.320
fortnite onto steam yeah i see

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:03.840
wow i guess uh tim sweeney really is a sweet boy just trying to make pc gaming

00:02:02.479 --> 00:02:08.160
better and i'm not the head of a corporation who's trying to gain market

00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:11.680
share it's so clear to me now i thanks for the tweet tim

00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:15.599
tim sweetie they should call him and some corners of the internet are talking

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:20.800
about a seemingly net neutrality breaking service from cox

00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:27.360
cox internet cox internet called cox elite gamer the service promises pc

00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:30.400
gamers 34 less lag 55 fewer ping spikes

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:32.480
and 45 percent less jitter by routing

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:37.519
game activity through a dedicated gaming network to reduce latency hey that

00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:41.519
sounds like a fast lane well actually the service doesn't increase or decrease

00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:45.160
speed it's only available on Windows computers and in reality it's just a

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:50.879
rebranded version of wtfast a service that has been available

00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:55.200
since at least 2017 and furthermore it only really reduces your ping in certain

00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:59.440
scenarios so so i don't think we need to call our representatives about this one

00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:03.120
