I usually tell you the tech news in English but this video is sponsored by
Babel who are giving our audience 60% off their language learning
subscriptions so I might suddenly lapse into
Mandarin we'll we'll have to see the European commission has officially
charged apple with non-compliance under the digital markets act for preventing
App Store developers from freely steering consumers to Alternative
channels while Apple has recently allowed inapp links to developer
websites where users can buy buy stuff without giving Apple a cut devs still
can't provide pricing information in the app leaving it up to users to figure out
why that button is there this button goes to our website you've got a website
uh great job uh Apple could be find up
to $3 billion dollar for the violation but EU regulation moves real slow so now
apple is supposed to examine the commission documents and reply in
writing then the EU will make a final ruling by by March 2025 the commission
is also just now starting another investigation into whether Apple's
policies concerning thirdparty app stores and their ridiculous core
technology fee also violates the dma because they they just can't tell yet I
just don't it could be fine I I mean Apple's response statement says that
they're confident they are in compliance with the dma it's also confusing
honestly Apple seems a bit confused as well they just added the ability to
format external drives to the iOS 18
beta which which is cool but it's not what the EU is asking for Apple do you
do you understand this they're like look you can change your home screen icon
color now is that good what do you want the confusing launch of co-pilot plus
Windows PCS with Qualcomm Snapdragon X Series chips continues a lot of coverage
really wants to position this as a revolutionary moment for PCs but
performance and battery life tests still make the new laptops feel kind of like
you're a kindergarten teacher and kid just handed you the best drawing of a
horse in the whole class that still mostly looks like a pile of unpeeled
potatoes good job but maybe it's not qualcomm's fault for misleading us a
fairly helpful video was posted by YouTuber Alex ziskind on Saturday
looking at the Samsung book for Edge with the flagship Snapdragon X Elite x1e
84100 horrible names and two surface
laptop sevens with the 8100 and the Snapdragon plus 64100 Zin explains how
messed up Windows 11's power settings are after fiddling around and finally
enabling the highest possible power profile he witnessed a huge boost in
performance compared to using the balanced mode he also noted a very small
difference in performance between the plus and Elite
chips while emulation continues to be a sticking point for some reviews continue
to trickle out as people actually get their hands on these machines so
hopefully I'll soon have something to tell my tech illiterate friends and
family when they inevitably ask about co-pilot plus PCS other than do not date
co-pilot she will break your heart there is at least one definite win to award
Microsoft's newest surface devices though I fix it has given both the
surface laptop 7 and Surface Pro 11 an 8
out of 10 for repairability after giving both of their original incarnations a
zero and a one respectively just like a binary joke to make there
but not right now unlike Samsung which iix it recently broke up with Microsoft
seems to have actually taken repairability to Heart adding nice
touches like a QR code visible as soon as you remove the bottom plate that
links to Microsoft's service manuals don't give Microsoft too many Kudos
though because if anything their attitude about Windows 11's Enthusiast
friendliness seems to be getting worse they just removed instructions for how
to sign into a local account on Windows from a support page while leaving up the
instructions for how to convert a local account to a Microsoft account and the
Windows 11 setup process reportedly no longer prompts you with a local account
signin option either even if you put in an email address that doesn't exist
thankfully many workarounds still exist for using a local account and Microsoft
won't send Killer Robots to your house if you use them yet they're co-pilot
powered she breaks hearts and Bones

quick why are you censoring that quick bits bits this is AMD's highly
anticipated strix Point laptop processors may be dwarfed by their big
brother lineup of strix Halo apus
according to a recently leaked shipping manifest it lists boards with a 120 watt
TDP and a 128 GB of RAM which is a bit
Overkill but another leak indicates that Intel might be adapting an aerol Lake
desktop processor into a laptop version with 24 threads that's right this Falls
hottest laptop trend is overkill three touchpads or I won't buy it reports that
apple is currently in Partnership talks with meta are actually old news
according to the herald of germed Mark German apparently meta pitched their AI
services to Apple who rejected them can
you blame them I mean meta's llama AI models are kind of Open Source but a lot
of Apple's own models are too then there's the fact that Facebook has been
tagging real life photos as made with AI
it would never work work Apple's kind of the Privacy company and meta is kind of
the feed three billion users data into Zuckerberg's gaping ma nom nom nom
company so every time I look out my bedroom window I never see Tim Cook Mark
get out of there I want the other guy a Florida
family has filed a formal request that NASA compensate them for $80,000 in
Damages following an incident in March where a 1.6 lb metal part from a battery
pallet jettison from the ISS embarrassingly using the canadarm to
robotic ARM we're so sorry failed to burn up in the atmosphere and instead
blew a hole straight through their two-story home had the ISS instead
committed an accidental DIY air strike against a home in a different country
they would be clearly obligated to provide compensation under the terms of
the 1972 space liability convention US
law however is less clear the recording industry Association of America has
filed lawsuits against two AI music generators sunno and udio for alleged
copyright infringement the Raa claims that sunno and udio have used massive
amounts of unlicensed music to train their models and that that is wrong
while neither music generator will specify what songs they used some of
their outputs seem rather telling including one song from udio that copies
the entire first verse of Green Day's American Idiot followed by a chorus of
the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog which is how I wish that song Went
the first time but I mean we fixed it prancing Queen
Laura prancing
queen and the internet has responded to Luma lab's freeo try Dream Machine video
generator by using it to turn static images into uncanny mem worthy videos as
the AI struggles to comprehend the horror that is wide lus and the human
skeleton even historical images got this treatment leading to this video of the
head of the Soviet Secret Police running across the water of the vulga canal like
a combination of Bugs Bunny and Jesus
but at least the AI memes are staying on the internet oh God they AI generated an
actual rocket engine not with a dream machine thing this was a different model
but maybe we should try it it could be funny what would be even funnier is if
you came back on Wednesday for more Tech news can you imagine oh my God what
would your neighbor say Pro probably someone like LOL what a cool
person get away from the Windows mark
