WEBVTT

00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.160
this Tech news would sound a little better if it had been open a few hours

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:10.880
ago but uh I think it still passes the smell

00:00:08.440 --> 00:00:15.839
test Microsoft has finally completed their $69 billion acquisition of

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:20.840
Activision Blizzard king after a year and a half of being grilled and harassed

00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:27.480
by the government to make sure they won't set every Xbox to self-destruct oh

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:31.240
exhausting the biggest buyout in gaming history went ahead right after the UK's

00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:36.399
comp ition and markets Authority approved an altered deal that will see

00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:40.920
Ubisoft holding the cloud gaming rights to current and future Activision

00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:44.760
Blizzard games outside of the European economic area and if you think that

00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:50.039
sounds confusing yeah basically if you purchase

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:55.800
an Activision Blizzard game and you live in the EU Iceland lakstein or Norway

00:00:54.079 --> 00:01:00.440
you'll have a license to stream that game from any cloud gaming streaming

00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:05.519
service of your choice assuming they have the game on that

00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:10.680
service available to stream but if you live anywhere else it'll be up to

00:01:07.479 --> 00:01:13.840
Ubisoft to Grant licenses for Activision

00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:16.240
Blizzard games to cloud gaming Services

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:21.040
meaning Microsoft will have to license the games owned by the companies it now

00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:26.040
owns if it wants those games to be streamable on Game Pass ultimate outside

00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:30.200
of Europe okay and you might be saying Riley can you shut up about cloud gaming

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:33.680
no one cares about that to which I'd say everyone said the same about mobile

00:01:31.880 --> 00:01:38.600
games and now those make the most money in the gaming industry but hey it was

00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:43.040
all worth it for Xbox to own Call of Duty and more importantly Crash

00:01:40.479 --> 00:01:47.000
Bandicoot meanwhile the FTC says they're still focused on stopping the deal and

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:51.640
are preparing an argument to submit to an appeals court in December bit harder

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:56.159
to stop something from happening after it's already happened but hey you know

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

00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:06.200
no longer sell movies in their physical form starting in 2024 meaning you'll

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

00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:15.560
the good old days the news was initially reported by the digital bits and later

00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:20.160
confirmed by Best Buy who told Variety in a statement that the way we watch

00:02:17.519 --> 00:02:26.440
movies and TV shows is much different today than it was decades ago to State

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:28.959
the obvious uh unless I'm mistaken I'm

00:02:26.440 --> 00:02:32.720
not looping film reels over top of my television and using the light to try

00:02:30.760 --> 00:02:37.400
and see the pictures in there okay we have computers now of course while the

00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:41.440
move is bad news for preservationists it's somewhat unsurprising it's been 5

00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:46.280
years since Best Buy stopped selling music CDs and according to Josh

00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:51.480
fairhurst CEO of limited run games there are Rumblings of Walmart dropping sales

00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:55.080
of physical games soon however while retailers are retreating from the

00:02:53.159 --> 00:03:01.400
physical world Netflix is looking to enter it CEO Ted Sandos announced plans

00:02:58.040 --> 00:03:03.879
to open something called a Netflix house

00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:07.360
in two locations and I don't know what that sounds like except something I

00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:14.080
wouldn't let my daughter visit the houses will have merch food and fan

00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:16.720
experiences but unlike Disneyland s says

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:21.720
you might visit a couple times a month not just once every couple years you

00:03:19.239 --> 00:03:26.680
know like getting beers with the boys but instead of wings you order the

00:03:23.720 --> 00:03:31.159
demagorgon roast I have no context for what this place is going to be I just

00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:35.640
what is it and this CEO of risk 5 International which oversees the open-

00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:39.200
source chip architecture has written in opposition to the idea that the US

00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:45.439
should block China's access to Technology based on risk 5 because it's

00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:48.319
an open- Source standard and uh that's

00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:52.480
not how they work last week a group of us lawmakers petitioned the Biden

00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:57.959
Administration to cut China off from risk 5 an idea that I mean doesn't seem

00:03:56.040 --> 00:04:02.760
particularly concerning to the Chinese members of risk 5 International

00:03:59.959 --> 00:04:07.560
including Alibaba Cloud Huawei ZTE and tensent who haven't commented one way or

00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:13.480
the other the CEO of a leading Chinese risk 5 chip company told the South China

00:04:09.720 --> 00:04:16.280
Morning Post that since risk 5 is again

00:04:13.480 --> 00:04:21.040
an open standard the us could only block exports from us companies to China but

00:04:19.479 --> 00:04:25.360
they wouldn't be able to block China from building their own products with

00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:28.479
risk 5 which they have been doing already for quite a while I don't know

00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:32.680
maybe the US government should be worried less about China and more about

00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:38.000
the chair of risk 5 International who recently said he wanted every chip in

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

00:04:42.440 --> 00:04:48.199

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

00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:43.919
19th it's not clear yet how much the phone will cost but OnePlus is offering

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

00:05:46.520 --> 00:05:53.120
definitely way more than that despite the air of mystery the device is

00:05:51.080 --> 00:05:58.440
essentially a rebadged version of the find and3 from Oppo who've already

00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:03.199
allowed YouTuber jagat review to post a Hands-On with a device where he Compares

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

00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:12.800
and a far more subtle hinge crease in the screen like somebody airbrushed a

00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:18.440
butt crack leaving only a single shiny mono cheek what a glorious image a judge

00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:24.039
has thrown out a 2022 decision that found Google had infringed five of Sonos

00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:31.880
patents because two out of five were filed in 2019 not 2006 as Sonos claimed

00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:34.479
bad billion doll company bad the

00:06:31.880 --> 00:06:39.919
original decision granted Sonos $32.5 million in Damages but rather than pay

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:43.960
licensing fees for the features Google pushed a software update that removed

00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:48.479
the group speaker features from devices that paying customers had already bought

00:06:46.479 --> 00:06:53.160
consumers are basically babies they lack object permanence huh where' it where'

00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:57.560
it go I guess it was never there Google of course celebrated the recent decision

00:06:55.160 --> 00:07:01.680
by immediately pushing another software update restoring the features they had

00:06:59.440 --> 00:07:05.759
previously taken away presumably causing users to clap their hands and drool

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

00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:19.160
NVIDIA's Jensen hang has topped a recent most popular CEO survey no doubt due to

00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:24.080
that sexy leather jacket can't stay mad at him based on a

00:07:22.400 --> 00:07:30.639
survey conducted by the professional social network blind over 96% of the

00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:32.879
13,000 verified in employees there said

00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:38.639
they approved of Wong's leadership numbers rarely seen outside of North

00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:41.879
Korea Tim Apple CEO of cook also came in

00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:44.680
the top five with 83% while the average

00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:49.479
was only 32% with at least two CEOs landing at zero I don't know exactly

00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:55.800
what's going on at Western Digital and Nordstrom but it's not good it involves

00:07:52.400 --> 00:07:57.960
lying I think speaking of CEOs Google's

00:07:55.800 --> 00:08:01.440
current leader Sundar pitchai had a fairly reasonable take on the the issue

00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:06.520
of the search engine being set as the default in Safari back in 2007 according

00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:11.000
to emails revealed during the ongoing USV Google trial peachi who was part of

00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:15.319
the search team back then thought that Apple's idea of offering two separate

00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:20.080
versions of safari one for Google and one for Yahoo was maybe not as good as

00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:24.360
just adding a drop down menu allowing users to switch search engines it's nice

00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:27.639
to see a tech executive thinking about the end user experience while

00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:31.840
coordinating massive payments to have their product presented as the default

00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:37.719
and after many Counterstrike two players were inexplicably banned valve has

00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:40.479
warned anyone playing on AMD gpus to

00:08:37.719 --> 00:08:44.920
switch off team Red's antiag plus feature which arrived earlier this week

00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:49.760
in a driver update until valve can fix the issue the feature minimizes input

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

00:08:51.920 --> 00:08:58.320
unauthorized tampering is occurring and leading to a vac ban you can hardly

00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:02.600
blame players for trying to make the game smoother although along with the

00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:07.360
lag issues it's also brought some Hidden Treasures I mean teabagging has got

00:09:04.640 --> 00:09:10.959
nothing on tea twerking and I would certainly be reading a segue about

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

00:09:13.079 --> 00:09:18.440
return on Monday for more Tech news please thank you
