1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,480 Apple, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:11,320 Snapchat. It's all tech news. Apple began rolling 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:16,200 out iOS 18 today, which of course means that your iPhone can now vote. Or maybe 4 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:20,680 it could have if the much discussed Apple Intelligence came along with the 5 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:25,040 update. Unfortunately for Cupertino, California's most prominent rectangle 6 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:30,800 peddlers, this has also affected sales of the newly revealed iPhone 16. Somehow 7 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:35,960 outlets like The Verge claim that iOS 18 is still pretty cool without all that AI 8 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:40,320 no one asked for. For example, RCS support has arrived with read receipts 9 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:44,200 and some reactions. Great news for Android users who can now endure 10 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,880 slightly less bullying from their iPhone owning friends. Just don't mention that 11 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:52,720 Android has basically had iOS 18's new home screen customization features for 12 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:57,160 like years now and you should be fine. In typical Apple fashion, iOS wasn't the 13 00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:03,040 only operating system to get some love. macOS 15, aka Sequoia, adds the ability 14 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:07,480 to mirror and control your iPhone on your Mac. Even better, improvements have 15 00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:11,200 been made to the way that Windows snap into position on macOS. And I won't make 16 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:15,600 the same joke about that already kind of being a thing on other platforms. iPadOS 17 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:20,880 18 is also here, bringing the cool new calculator app with math notes that auto 18 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:25,680 solves equations you write down. That was actually mind-blowing to me. Kudos 19 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:29,440 to Apple. I don't just hate them. iPadOS is also getting a game mode to improve 20 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:32,600 gaming performance, which I'm sure a lot more people care about than the fact 21 00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:37,000 that Vision OS 2 is rolling out for Vision Pro. Moving on. AMD has 22 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:42,920 apparently decided it wants to be like NVIDIA in all the worst ways. Following 23 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:48,040 in Team Green's footsteps, CEO Lisa Su has stated publicly that we really are a 24 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:52,200 data center first company, which is not only unfortunate for us lowly gamers and 25 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:57,760 enthusiasts, it's also apparently bad news for AMD's laptop partners. Chip 26 00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:03,400 consultancy firm AC Analysis claims that AMD's shift in focus has created a rift 27 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:07,240 between it and its OEM partners. Many partners complain about 28 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:11,680 miscommunication, unfilled promises, and generally poor treatment. Weirdly, I 29 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:16,040 think I got the exact same feedback the last time I was dumped. According to the 30 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:20,440 OEMs themselves, this is not the first time they've had issues with AMD. Team 31 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:25,040 Red is apparently notorious for its inability to deliver chips either 32 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:30,040 quickly or in sufficient quantities. Some manufacturers told German outlet 33 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:35,080 ComputerBase that AMD has left billions of US dollars on the table by not being 34 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:40,040 able to guarantee order fulfillment. AMD has been saying they can change for 35 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:42,440 years, and that is such a team red flag. 36 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:47,640 Haha. We were this close to having an Intel-powered PlayStation 6, according 37 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:52,640 to an exclusive report from Reuters. The deal would have netted Team Blue an 38 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:56,400 estimated 30 billion dollars, but it's not like the company desperately needed 39 00:02:54,200 --> 00:03:00,160 the work, right? Right? While multiple chip companies 40 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:05,440 submitted bids for designing and manufacturing the PS6's processor, it 41 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:10,200 all came down to AMD and Intel. Unfortunately, Intel lost for a couple 42 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:14,440 reasons. Two sources told Reuters that Intel got into a dispute over profit 43 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,280 margins that prevented the company from settling on a price with Sony. Another 44 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:23,120 reason that Intel lost out to AMD is that AMD made the chip that powers the 45 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:28,280 PS5. Choosing Intel for the successor console allegedly would have put Sony's 46 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,080 usual backwards compatibility at risk. 47 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:34,360 Or at the very least made it more expensive for the company to sort the 48 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:37,960 feature out. Regardless, Intel lost the chance to make some big money. 49 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:42,080 Naturally, they took the next logical step, working for the military. Team 50 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:45,840 Blue is set to earn up to three and a half billion dollars thanks to a 51 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:50,960 contract with the Pentagon, which is of course the second scariest shape. The 52 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:56,440 scariest shape is an octagon. Shapes shouldn't have that many obtuse angles. 53 00:03:53,760 --> 00:04:02,560 But if you want your body hair octagon, check out our sponsor, Manscaped.

Quick bits, the only news stories guaranteed to be faster 63 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:46,960 than other news stories. Or or your money back. An appeals court in 64 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:51,880 Washington, D.C. is hearing ByteDance's lawsuit objecting to the upcoming TikTok 65 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:55,880 ban as of today, and it can be conveniently streamed in horizontal 66 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:59,920 format on YouTube. At the heart of the case is the government's contention that 67 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:05,000 TikTok circulates massive amounts of information both true and not, and 68 00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:10,000 collects data that could potentially be useful to a foreign adversary, cough 69 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:14,360 cough, it's China. However, as pointed out by TikTok's lawyers, any supposedly 70 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:18,200 secret intelligence the government possesses that proves that the company 71 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:22,600 is actually collaborating with the rival government is just that, a secret. 72 00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:26,800 America is acting a bit like a girlfriend who's furious with you, but 73 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:31,040 won't tell you why because you should just know. This morning, Microsoft 74 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:35,800 continued their favorite pastime of putting Co-pilot in things. Office apps 75 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:41,080 like Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook will get more AI features with Co-pilot in 76 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:46,920 Excel now being able to run Python code to make graphs. Couldn't Excel already 77 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:51,680 make graphs? I am not an Excel guy. But Microsoft also announced Co-pilot Pages, 78 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:56,320 a new document workspace where you and your coworkers can boss Co-pilot around 79 00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:00,560 together. And that's what's been missing from the whole AI equation. 80 00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:05,600 Group bullying. Apple has decided to increase the out-of-warranty battery 81 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:09,640 replacement fee for iPhone 16 Pro models by 20% compared to the predecessors. And 82 00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:14,600 that's not the only change coming to iPhone repairs. Apple is extending 83 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:18,480 activation lock to individual parts. This means that if a battery from an 84 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:22,640 iPhone with activation lock enabled ends up in your device, you'll have to enter 85 00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:27,760 the Apple ID associated with the phone that part is from. Sounds annoying, but 86 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:32,400 apparently in Apple's mind, most iPhones are stolen and sold for parts. So this 87 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:36,440 is Apple's way of fighting back in a way that doesn't involve making repair 88 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:41,080 cheaper or easier. Hackers have been using a heinous new technique in the 89 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:45,760 battle to steal your passwords, being really annoying. Researchers at OA Labs 90 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:51,160 discovered a type of attack being actively exploited which traps a user's 91 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:55,080 Chrome browser in kiosk mode, forcing it to run in full screen without the 92 00:06:52,960 --> 00:07:00,000 standard user interface. Presented with a Google login page and seemingly no 93 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:05,480 other way to use the computer, users are tempted to just enter their credentials 94 00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:07,320 and end their suffering. But no, steady 95 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:11,840 on, friends. You're better than this. First, try keyboard shortcuts like 96 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:17,360 control alt delete, control shift escape, and alt F4. No, that last one is 97 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:21,080 not how you check the score in Call of Duty. Those guys were lying to you. I'm 98 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:25,520 sorry you had to hear it this way. And the future AI surveillance state is 99 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:29,680 going to be awesome, according to Oracle founder and current third richest man in 100 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:33,400 the world, Larry Ellison. Lending further evidence to the theory that 101 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:38,200 exposure to too much money causes lasting brain damage. Ellison recently 102 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:43,760 publicly expressed that being surrounded by cameras and AI agents looking at what 103 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:48,360 we're doing will keep us on our best behavior. And that future is coming 104 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:53,600 fast. South Korean researchers have apparently developed AI software called 105 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:59,760 Deja View that predicts if and when a crime will occur with over 80% accuracy. 106 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:04,400 Sadly, it does this by integrating CCTV footage, crime statistics, positioning 107 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:07,920 data, and other data, rather than a kitty pool full of psychics. It's a 108 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:12,120 reference to the movie. Have you seen the movie? You best be on your best 109 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:16,040 behavior and come back on Wednesday for more tech news. If you don't, then the 110 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:19,680 AI will know, and it will encode into its training data that you aren't up to 111 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:24,440 date with the latest tech news, and that will send an emergency alert straight to 112 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:27,480 Larry Ellison. We don't want that. We don't know what he'll do.
