1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,160
this Tech news would sound a little better if it had been open a few hours

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:10,880
ago but uh I think it still passes the smell

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:15,839
test Microsoft has finally completed their $69 billion acquisition of

4
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:20,840
Activision Blizzard king after a year and a half of being grilled and harassed

5
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:27,480
by the government to make sure they won't set every Xbox to self-destruct oh

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:31,240
exhausting the biggest buyout in gaming history went ahead right after the UK's

7
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:36,399
comp ition and markets Authority approved an altered deal that will see

8
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:40,920
Ubisoft holding the cloud gaming rights to current and future Activision

9
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:44,760
Blizzard games outside of the European economic area and if you think that

10
00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:50,039
sounds confusing yeah basically if you purchase

11
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:55,800
an Activision Blizzard game and you live in the EU Iceland lakstein or Norway

12
00:00:54,079 --> 00:01:00,440
you'll have a license to stream that game from any cloud gaming streaming

13
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:05,519
service of your choice assuming they have the game on that

14
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:10,680
service available to stream but if you live anywhere else it'll be up to

15
00:01:07,479 --> 00:01:13,840
Ubisoft to Grant licenses for Activision

16
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:16,240
Blizzard games to cloud gaming Services

17
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:21,040
meaning Microsoft will have to license the games owned by the companies it now

18
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:26,040
owns if it wants those games to be streamable on Game Pass ultimate outside

19
00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:30,200
of Europe okay and you might be saying Riley can you shut up about cloud gaming

20
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:33,680
no one cares about that to which I'd say everyone said the same about mobile

21
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:38,600
games and now those make the most money in the gaming industry but hey it was

22
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:43,040
all worth it for Xbox to own Call of Duty and more importantly Crash

23
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:47,000
Bandicoot meanwhile the FTC says they're still focused on stopping the deal and

24
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:51,640
are preparing an argument to submit to an appeals court in December bit harder

25
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:56,159
to stop something from happening after it's already happened but hey you know

26
00:01:53,360 --> 00:02:00,680
best of luck we have to go back in time we have to go back Marty Best Buy will

27
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:06,200
no longer sell movies in their physical form starting in 2024 meaning you'll

28
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:11,039
have to buy your DVDs or 4K Blu-rays from the trunk of Ply's car just like in

29
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:15,560
the good old days the news was initially reported by the digital bits and later

30
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:20,160
confirmed by Best Buy who told Variety in a statement that the way we watch

31
00:02:17,519 --> 00:02:26,440
movies and TV shows is much different today than it was decades ago to State

32
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,959
the obvious uh unless I'm mistaken I'm

33
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:32,720
not looping film reels over top of my television and using the light to try

34
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:37,400
and see the pictures in there okay we have computers now of course while the

35
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:41,440
move is bad news for preservationists it's somewhat unsurprising it's been 5

36
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:46,280
years since Best Buy stopped selling music CDs and according to Josh

37
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:51,480
fairhurst CEO of limited run games there are Rumblings of Walmart dropping sales

38
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:55,080
of physical games soon however while retailers are retreating from the

39
00:02:53,159 --> 00:03:01,400
physical world Netflix is looking to enter it CEO Ted Sandos announced plans

40
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:03,879
to open something called a Netflix house

41
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:07,360
in two locations and I don't know what that sounds like except something I

42
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:14,080
wouldn't let my daughter visit the houses will have merch food and fan

43
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:16,720
experiences but unlike Disneyland s says

44
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:21,720
you might visit a couple times a month not just once every couple years you

45
00:03:19,239 --> 00:03:26,680
know like getting beers with the boys but instead of wings you order the

46
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:31,159
demagorgon roast I have no context for what this place is going to be I just

47
00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:35,640
what is it and this CEO of risk 5 International which oversees the open-

48
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:39,200
source chip architecture has written in opposition to the idea that the US

49
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:45,439
should block China's access to Technology based on risk 5 because it's

50
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:48,319
an open- Source standard and uh that's

51
00:03:45,439 --> 00:03:52,480
not how they work last week a group of us lawmakers petitioned the Biden

52
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:57,959
Administration to cut China off from risk 5 an idea that I mean doesn't seem

53
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:02,760
particularly concerning to the Chinese members of risk 5 International

54
00:03:59,959 --> 00:04:07,560
including Alibaba Cloud Huawei ZTE and tensent who haven't commented one way or

55
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:13,480
the other the CEO of a leading Chinese risk 5 chip company told the South China

56
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:16,280
Morning Post that since risk 5 is again

57
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:21,040
an open standard the us could only block exports from us companies to China but

58
00:04:19,479 --> 00:04:25,360
they wouldn't be able to block China from building their own products with

59
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:28,479
risk 5 which they have been doing already for quite a while I don't know

60
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:32,680
maybe the US government should be worried less about China and more about

61
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:38,000
the chair of risk 5 International who recently said he wanted every chip in

62
00:04:35,039 --> 00:04:46,039
the world to be risk 5 showing a slide titled all your cores are belong to us

63
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:48,199
terrifying arrest this man and I'll have

off OnePlus will be launching its first foldable the OnePlus open on October

76
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:43,919
19th it's not clear yet how much the phone will cost but OnePlus is offering

77
00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:49,039
$200 off for pre-orders and up to $11,000 in trade and credit so it's

78
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:53,120
definitely way more than that despite the air of mystery the device is

79
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:58,440
essentially a rebadged version of the find and3 from Oppo who've already

80
00:05:56,199 --> 00:06:03,199
allowed YouTuber jagat review to post a Hands-On with a device where he Compares

81
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:07,720
it to the Galaxy ZF 5 the open seems to have a wider inside and outside display

82
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:12,800
and a far more subtle hinge crease in the screen like somebody airbrushed a

83
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:18,440
butt crack leaving only a single shiny mono cheek what a glorious image a judge

84
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:24,039
has thrown out a 2022 decision that found Google had infringed five of Sonos

85
00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:31,880
patents because two out of five were filed in 2019 not 2006 as Sonos claimed

86
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:34,479
bad billion doll company bad the

87
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:39,919
original decision granted Sonos $32.5 million in Damages but rather than pay

88
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:43,960
licensing fees for the features Google pushed a software update that removed

89
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:48,479
the group speaker features from devices that paying customers had already bought

90
00:06:46,479 --> 00:06:53,160
consumers are basically babies they lack object permanence huh where' it where'

91
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:57,560
it go I guess it was never there Google of course celebrated the recent decision

92
00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:01,680
by immediately pushing another software update restoring the features they had

93
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:05,759
previously taken away presumably causing users to clap their hands and drool

94
00:07:03,599 --> 00:07:13,520
inight like a game of peekaboo there's some features it's featur it's it's back

95
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:19,160
NVIDIA's Jensen hang has topped a recent most popular CEO survey no doubt due to

96
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:24,080
that sexy leather jacket can't stay mad at him based on a

97
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:30,639
survey conducted by the professional social network blind over 96% of the

98
00:07:27,639 --> 00:07:32,879
13,000 verified in employees there said

99
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:38,639
they approved of Wong's leadership numbers rarely seen outside of North

100
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:41,879
Korea Tim Apple CEO of cook also came in

101
00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:44,680
the top five with 83% while the average

102
00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:49,479
was only 32% with at least two CEOs landing at zero I don't know exactly

103
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:55,800
what's going on at Western Digital and Nordstrom but it's not good it involves

104
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,960
lying I think speaking of CEOs Google's

105
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:01,440
current leader Sundar pitchai had a fairly reasonable take on the the issue

106
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:06,520
of the search engine being set as the default in Safari back in 2007 according

107
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:11,000
to emails revealed during the ongoing USV Google trial peachi who was part of

108
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:15,319
the search team back then thought that Apple's idea of offering two separate

109
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:20,080
versions of safari one for Google and one for Yahoo was maybe not as good as

110
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:24,360
just adding a drop down menu allowing users to switch search engines it's nice

111
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,639
to see a tech executive thinking about the end user experience while

112
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,840
coordinating massive payments to have their product presented as the default

113
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:37,719
and after many Counterstrike two players were inexplicably banned valve has

114
00:08:34,519 --> 00:08:40,479
warned anyone playing on AMD gpus to

115
00:08:37,719 --> 00:08:44,920
switch off team Red's antiag plus feature which arrived earlier this week

116
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:49,760
in a driver update until valve can fix the issue the feature minimizes input

117
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:54,360
lag but it does so by injecting itself into the game's code making it look like

118
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:58,320
unauthorized tampering is occurring and leading to a vac ban you can hardly

119
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,600
blame players for trying to make the game smoother although along with the

120
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:07,360
lag issues it's also brought some Hidden Treasures I mean teabagging has got

121
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:10,959
nothing on tea twerking and I would certainly be reading a segue about

122
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:14,839
twerking if Jacob was here but he's off today so I'll simply tell you to please

123
00:09:13,079 --> 00:09:18,440
return on Monday for more Tech news please thank you
