WEBVTT

00:00:02.320 --> 00:00:09.279
tech news yeah i could have i could have swore

00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:18.160
apple's yearly september event is tomorrow in cupertino california

00:00:17.119 --> 00:00:24.000
okay and although the company hasn't officially mentioned it's an iphone

00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:28.000
launch we it's an iphone launch just like the last

00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:31.519
two previous years there will be three iphones launching tomorrow if the rumors

00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:36.719
are correct with reports indicating there will be an iphone 11 r 11 max and

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:40.000
an 11 pro all of the phones will also feature a

00:00:38.239 --> 00:00:43.440
triple camera arrangement on the rear of the chassis wait they're they're just

00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:46.079
putting pro on the end of the one that's normal

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

00:00:50.239 --> 00:00:56.960
type c aren't expected to show up this year maybe next year or never

00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:00.719
last year apple also launched the apple watch series 4 with its ecg capable

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

00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:11.360
so if you can only even then i only want it if it's on glasses

00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:16.640
x-ray vision ew yes you sicko nintendo has already given

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:22.159
us a redesigned switch but how would you like to see a different controller at

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.920
some point now we're talking

00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:28.880
that might just be what we get as nintendo has filed a patent for a switch

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:33.280
with flexible joy-cons the idea is that a portion of the top of the controller

00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:37.840
so either the thumbstick or abxy buttons depending on which side would be able to

00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:40.400
bend downwards in order to improve ergonomics

00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:43.680
which could make operating the controller a little easier especially

00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:48.720
when you're using them detached from the console i am not seeing this

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:52.640
i'm not seeing the visual here however keep in mind this is just a

00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:55.520
patent filing so there's no word as to if or when the feature will actually

00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:59.600
make it onto the next revision of the switch but if it does hopefully there

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

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

00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:13.360
bent i don't know but i feel like you could hit somebody with it like

00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:17.120
like a boomerang no like like a boomerang okay we've already

00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:21.599
heard that tesla has plans to produce its own big rig but how about a pickup

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:25.120
truck you can park in your driveway elon musk recently stated on twitter that

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:30.080
tesla would be unveiling a pickup in november with a cyberpunk aesthetic

00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:35.879
because when i think of cyberpunk i think of japan neon lights and pickup

00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:35.879
trucks

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

00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:47.920
much stuff as a ford 150 f-150

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

00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:57.680
competition in the electric pickup truck market ford is ironically working on an

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

00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:05.599
plenty of all-electric options for hauling around your

00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:09.680
important shipments now it's time for quick bits brought to

00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:13.680
you by ifixit's marlin screwdrivers get your fix on

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

00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:22.239
boy is it because each screwdriver has an ergonomic rubberized handle with a

00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:26.720
swivel top it's gone in partnership with nintendo

00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:30.640
they've also got black oxide coated tips so they hang onto tiny screws with a

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

00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:39.680
come with a lifetime warranty if you break it they'll replace it that sounds

00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:43.040
insane but ifixit knows exactly what they're doing so it's time for you to

00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:50.000
have that same confidence go grab yourself a set today at ifixit.com

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:52.560
i've always made my bits quick

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:55.920
to outrun the pain apple is making the playing field a

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:59.680
little fairer in its app store by adjusting its algorithm so that you can

00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:03.360
see non-apple apps a little more prominently previously the app store

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

00:04:04.959 --> 00:04:12.159
users would see multiple apple apps before popular offerings from other

00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:15.519
developers i guess you can say apple is

00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:17.280
turning over a new leaf

00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:21.120
like apple like an apple turnover laptops are

00:04:19.440 --> 00:04:25.759
notoriously difficult to upgrade but panasonic is blowing up that paradigm

00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:30.800
with its new toughbook model which lets you add everything from extra ports to a

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

00:04:32.479 --> 00:04:40.240
hot swap the battery that's actually normal they should call it an easy book

00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:40.240
not tough anymore

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

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:49.680
toughbook 55 starts at 2100 us dollars

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

00:04:53.520 --> 00:05:00.320
you may have 3d printed something like a plastic headphone stand but how about a

00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:04.320
human heart a chicago-based biotech company used 3d bioprinting to create a

00:05:02.479 --> 00:05:08.000
smaller version of a human heart from actual muscle cells because it has the

00:05:06.320 --> 00:05:11.520
same structure as a real heart the company views it as an important

00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:15.280
stepping stone to being able to 3d print a full-sized version that can be placed

00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:21.440
inside a person instead of having to rely on a donated heart who's getting

00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:24.000
that tiny heart though the grinch

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

00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:32.240
good if you live in southwestern virginia who doesn't

00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:35.039
don't be surprised if you pass by trucks with drivers who aren't holding the

00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:40.880
steering wheel what else are they are they just driving

00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:44.880
daimler is going to be testing self-driving big rigs in the area which

00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:48.400
should help them work out the kinks as that part of the state is mountainous

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:51.919
and will expose the trucks to some challenging terrain so hopefully the

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:56.240
drivers will still fill up their trucker-sized coffee mugs to keep them

00:05:53.840 --> 00:06:00.720
alert in case something goes wrong they'll have their hands at the ready

00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:05.120
and electronic arts has found its way into the guinness book of world records

00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:09.520
but not for anything glamorous if you remember the fiasco surrounding star

00:06:06.960 --> 00:06:14.319
wars battlefront 2's micro transaction system ea made an infamous comment on

00:06:12.400 --> 00:06:19.360
reddit saying the system was in place to provide players with a sense of pride

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:25.520
and accomplishment big yikes it then went on to get over 683 000 down votes

00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:28.639
with no other comment on the entire site even coming close

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

00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:37.520
saying ea was just a misunderstood company i did not i didn't say that john

00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:41.680
he's trying to sabotage me james i downloaded you

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

00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:50.960
isn't james streeb

00:06:48.880 --> 00:06:56.400
