1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:09,279
tech news yeah i could have i could have swore

2
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:18,160
apple's yearly september event is tomorrow in cupertino california

3
00:00:17,119 --> 00:00:24,000
okay and although the company hasn't officially mentioned it's an iphone

4
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:28,000
launch we it's an iphone launch just like the last

5
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:31,519
two previous years there will be three iphones launching tomorrow if the rumors

6
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:36,719
are correct with reports indicating there will be an iphone 11 r 11 max and

7
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,000
an 11 pro all of the phones will also feature a

8
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:43,440
triple camera arrangement on the rear of the chassis wait they're they're just

9
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,079
putting pro on the end of the one that's normal

10
00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:52,239
i don't know which one of those is a normal one that's the thing unfortunately support for 5g and usb

11
00:00:50,239 --> 00:00:56,960
type c aren't expected to show up this year maybe next year or never

12
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,719
last year apple also launched the apple watch series 4 with its ecg capable

13
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:07,520
sensors so maybe they'll one-up themselves and add another medical diagnostic test like x-rays

14
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:11,360
so if you can only even then i only want it if it's on glasses

15
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:16,640
x-ray vision ew yes you sicko nintendo has already given

16
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:22,159
us a redesigned switch but how would you like to see a different controller at

17
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:23,920
some point now we're talking

18
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:28,880
that might just be what we get as nintendo has filed a patent for a switch

19
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:33,280
with flexible joy-cons the idea is that a portion of the top of the controller

20
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:37,840
so either the thumbstick or abxy buttons depending on which side would be able to

21
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,400
bend downwards in order to improve ergonomics

22
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:43,680
which could make operating the controller a little easier especially

23
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:48,720
when you're using them detached from the console i am not seeing this

24
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:52,640
i'm not seeing the visual here however keep in mind this is just a

25
00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:55,520
patent filing so there's no word as to if or when the feature will actually

26
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:59,600
make it onto the next revision of the switch but if it does hopefully there

27
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:03,360
won't be a fiasco like we saw with samsung's foldable phone yeah we're just

28
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:09,200
now ready does he mean actively like they're bending as you use them or they're just

29
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:13,360
bent i don't know but i feel like you could hit somebody with it like

30
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:17,120
like a boomerang no like like a boomerang okay we've already

31
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:21,599
heard that tesla has plans to produce its own big rig but how about a pickup

32
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:25,120
truck you can park in your driveway elon musk recently stated on twitter that

33
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:30,080
tesla would be unveiling a pickup in november with a cyberpunk aesthetic

34
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:35,879
because when i think of cyberpunk i think of japan neon lights and pickup

35
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:35,879
trucks

36
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:44,720
anyway it's supposed to perform about as well as a porsche 911 and carry about as

37
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,920
much stuff as a ford 150 f-150

38
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:53,360
i don't know i don't know about trucks so it looks like it's going to be pretty capable as tesla is trying to stave off

39
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:57,680
competition in the electric pickup truck market ford is ironically working on an

40
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:01,120
electronic f-150 as well i don't know if that's ironic so hopefully there will be

41
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:05,599
plenty of all-electric options for hauling around your

42
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:09,680
important shipments now it's time for quick bits brought to

43
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:13,680
you by ifixit's marlin screwdrivers get your fix on

44
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:18,159
that's what it says there yeah yeah come on makes it sound like a party and oh

45
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:22,239
boy is it because each screwdriver has an ergonomic rubberized handle with a

46
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:26,720
swivel top it's gone in partnership with nintendo

47
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:30,640
they've also got black oxide coated tips so they hang onto tiny screws with a

48
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:34,720
steel grip you can choose to get them in a hard or soft wrapped case and they

49
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:39,680
come with a lifetime warranty if you break it they'll replace it that sounds

50
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:43,040
insane but ifixit knows exactly what they're doing so it's time for you to

51
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:50,000
have that same confidence go grab yourself a set today at ifixit.com

52
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:52,560
i've always made my bits quick

53
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,920
to outrun the pain apple is making the playing field a

54
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,680
little fairer in its app store by adjusting its algorithm so that you can

55
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,360
see non-apple apps a little more prominently previously the app store

56
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:07,120
favored apple's own offerings when you ran a search and it got to a point where

57
00:04:04,959 --> 00:04:12,159
users would see multiple apple apps before popular offerings from other

58
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:15,519
developers i guess you can say apple is

59
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:17,280
turning over a new leaf

60
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:21,120
like apple like an apple turnover laptops are

61
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:25,759
notoriously difficult to upgrade but panasonic is blowing up that paradigm

62
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:30,800
with its new toughbook model which lets you add everything from extra ports to a

63
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:34,639
new keyboard to a discreet GPU oh wow and it's so modular that you can even

64
00:04:32,479 --> 00:04:40,240
hot swap the battery that's actually normal they should call it an easy book

65
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:40,240
not tough anymore

66
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:48,560
a tender book i would buy a tender book you'll pay a premium for this as the

67
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,680
toughbook 55 starts at 2100 us dollars

68
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:55,440
but at least you won't have to worry about what happens if you have an unfortunate mountain dew accident

69
00:04:53,520 --> 00:05:00,320
you may have 3d printed something like a plastic headphone stand but how about a

70
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:04,320
human heart a chicago-based biotech company used 3d bioprinting to create a

71
00:05:02,479 --> 00:05:08,000
smaller version of a human heart from actual muscle cells because it has the

72
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,520
same structure as a real heart the company views it as an important

73
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:15,280
stepping stone to being able to 3d print a full-sized version that can be placed

74
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:21,440
inside a person instead of having to rely on a donated heart who's getting

75
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:24,000
that tiny heart though the grinch

76
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:28,000
and then he's gotta work on it i'll come back with the technology four times is

77
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:32,240
good if you live in southwestern virginia who doesn't

78
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:35,039
don't be surprised if you pass by trucks with drivers who aren't holding the

79
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:40,880
steering wheel what else are they are they just driving

80
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,880
daimler is going to be testing self-driving big rigs in the area which

81
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:48,400
should help them work out the kinks as that part of the state is mountainous

82
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,919
and will expose the trucks to some challenging terrain so hopefully the

83
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:56,240
drivers will still fill up their trucker-sized coffee mugs to keep them

84
00:05:53,840 --> 00:06:00,720
alert in case something goes wrong they'll have their hands at the ready

85
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:05,120
and electronic arts has found its way into the guinness book of world records

86
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:09,520
but not for anything glamorous if you remember the fiasco surrounding star

87
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:14,319
wars battlefront 2's micro transaction system ea made an infamous comment on

88
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:19,360
reddit saying the system was in place to provide players with a sense of pride

89
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:25,520
and accomplishment big yikes it then went on to get over 683 000 down votes

90
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,639
with no other comment on the entire site even coming close

91
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,160
well that makes me feel a lot better about the time i got 70 down votes for

92
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:37,520
saying ea was just a misunderstood company i did not i didn't say that john

93
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:41,680
he's trying to sabotage me james i downloaded you

94
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:45,199
rude that's it for today so come back on wednesday for more tech news or my name

95
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:50,960
isn't james streeb

96
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:56,400
that's no one's name stripe

97
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,400
did you put a p on the end see you later

98
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,840
it's stride
