WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.480 Apple, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, 00:00:03.320 --> 00:00:11.320 Snapchat. It's all tech news. Apple began rolling 00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:16.200 out iOS 18 today, which of course means that your iPhone can now vote. Or maybe 00:00:14.120 --> 00:00:20.680 it could have if the much discussed Apple Intelligence came along with the 00:00:18.520 --> 00:00:25.040 update. Unfortunately for Cupertino, California's most prominent rectangle 00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:30.800 peddlers, this has also affected sales of the newly revealed iPhone 16. Somehow 00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:35.960 outlets like The Verge claim that iOS 18 is still pretty cool without all that AI 00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:40.320 no one asked for. For example, RCS support has arrived with read receipts 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:44.200 and some reactions. Great news for Android users who can now endure 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:48.880 slightly less bullying from their iPhone owning friends. Just don't mention that 00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:52.720 Android has basically had iOS 18's new home screen customization features for 00:00:50.680 --> 00:00:57.160 like years now and you should be fine. In typical Apple fashion, iOS wasn't the 00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:03.040 only operating system to get some love. macOS 15, aka Sequoia, adds the ability 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:07.480 to mirror and control your iPhone on your Mac. Even better, improvements have 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 00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:15.600 the same joke about that already kind of being a thing on other platforms. iPadOS 00:01:13.440 --> 00:01:20.880 18 is also here, bringing the cool new calculator app with math notes that auto 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:25.680 solves equations you write down. That was actually mind-blowing to me. Kudos 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 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:32.600 gaming performance, which I'm sure a lot more people care about than the fact 00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:37.000 that Vision OS 2 is rolling out for Vision Pro. Moving on. AMD has 00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:42.920 apparently decided it wants to be like NVIDIA in all the worst ways. Following 00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:48.040 in Team Green's footsteps, CEO Lisa Su has stated publicly that we really are a 00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:52.200 data center first company, which is not only unfortunate for us lowly gamers and 00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:57.760 enthusiasts, it's also apparently bad news for AMD's laptop partners. Chip 00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:03.400 consultancy firm AC Analysis claims that AMD's shift in focus has created a rift 00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:07.240 between it and its OEM partners. Many partners complain about 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:11.680 miscommunication, unfilled promises, and generally poor treatment. Weirdly, I 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:16.040 think I got the exact same feedback the last time I was dumped. According to the 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:20.440 OEMs themselves, this is not the first time they've had issues with AMD. Team 00:02:18.320 --> 00:02:25.040 Red is apparently notorious for its inability to deliver chips either 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:30.040 quickly or in sufficient quantities. Some manufacturers told German outlet 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:35.080 ComputerBase that AMD has left billions of US dollars on the table by not being 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:40.040 able to guarantee order fulfillment. AMD has been saying they can change for 00:02:36.600 --> 00:02:42.440 years, and that is such a team red flag. 00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:47.640 Haha. We were this close to having an Intel-powered PlayStation 6, according 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:52.640 to an exclusive report from Reuters. The deal would have netted Team Blue an 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:56.400 estimated 30 billion dollars, but it's not like the company desperately needed 00:02:54.200 --> 00:03:00.160 the work, right? Right? While multiple chip companies 00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:05.440 submitted bids for designing and manufacturing the PS6's processor, it 00:03:02.880 --> 00:03:10.200 all came down to AMD and Intel. Unfortunately, Intel lost for a couple 00:03:07.600 --> 00:03:14.440 reasons. Two sources told Reuters that Intel got into a dispute over profit 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:18.280 margins that prevented the company from settling on a price with Sony. Another 00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:23.120 reason that Intel lost out to AMD is that AMD made the chip that powers the 00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:28.280 PS5. Choosing Intel for the successor console allegedly would have put Sony's 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:30.080 usual backwards compatibility at risk. 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:34.360 Or at the very least made it more expensive for the company to sort the 00:03:31.880 --> 00:03:37.960 feature out. Regardless, Intel lost the chance to make some big money. 00:03:36.160 --> 00:03:42.080 Naturally, they took the next logical step, working for the military. Team 00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:45.840 Blue is set to earn up to three and a half billion dollars thanks to a 00:03:43.640 --> 00:03:50.960 contract with the Pentagon, which is of course the second scariest shape. The 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:56.440 scariest shape is an octagon. Shapes shouldn't have that many obtuse angles. 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 00:04:40.080 --> 00:04:46.960 than other news stories. Or or your money back. An appeals court in 00:04:44.200 --> 00:04:51.880 Washington, D.C. is hearing ByteDance's lawsuit objecting to the upcoming TikTok 00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:55.880 ban as of today, and it can be conveniently streamed in horizontal 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:59.920 format on YouTube. At the heart of the case is the government's contention that 00:04:57.760 --> 00:05:05.000 TikTok circulates massive amounts of information both true and not, and 00:05:02.840 --> 00:05:10.000 collects data that could potentially be useful to a foreign adversary, cough 00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:14.360 cough, it's China. However, as pointed out by TikTok's lawyers, any supposedly 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:18.200 secret intelligence the government possesses that proves that the company 00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:22.600 is actually collaborating with the rival government is just that, a secret. 00:05:20.840 --> 00:05:26.800 America is acting a bit like a girlfriend who's furious with you, but 00:05:24.760 --> 00:05:31.040 won't tell you why because you should just know. This morning, Microsoft 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:35.800 continued their favorite pastime of putting Co-pilot in things. Office apps 00:05:33.880 --> 00:05:41.080 like Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook will get more AI features with Co-pilot in 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:46.920 Excel now being able to run Python code to make graphs. Couldn't Excel already 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:51.680 make graphs? I am not an Excel guy. But Microsoft also announced Co-pilot Pages, 00:05:49.760 --> 00:05:56.320 a new document workspace where you and your coworkers can boss Co-pilot around 00:05:54.320 --> 00:06:00.560 together. And that's what's been missing from the whole AI equation. 00:05:58.280 --> 00:06:05.600 Group bullying. Apple has decided to increase the out-of-warranty battery 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:09.640 replacement fee for iPhone 16 Pro models by 20% compared to the predecessors. And 00:06:08.280 --> 00:06:14.600 that's not the only change coming to iPhone repairs. Apple is extending 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:18.480 activation lock to individual parts. This means that if a battery from an 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:22.640 iPhone with activation lock enabled ends up in your device, you'll have to enter 00:06:20.280 --> 00:06:27.760 the Apple ID associated with the phone that part is from. Sounds annoying, but 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:32.400 apparently in Apple's mind, most iPhones are stolen and sold for parts. So this 00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:36.440 is Apple's way of fighting back in a way that doesn't involve making repair 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:41.080 cheaper or easier. Hackers have been using a heinous new technique in the 00:06:38.440 --> 00:06:45.760 battle to steal your passwords, being really annoying. Researchers at OA Labs 00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:51.160 discovered a type of attack being actively exploited which traps a user's 00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:55.080 Chrome browser in kiosk mode, forcing it to run in full screen without the 00:06:52.960 --> 00:07:00.000 standard user interface. Presented with a Google login page and seemingly no 00:06:57.760 --> 00:07:05.480 other way to use the computer, users are tempted to just enter their credentials 00:07:02.280 --> 00:07:07.320 and end their suffering. But no, steady 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:11.840 on, friends. You're better than this. First, try keyboard shortcuts like 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:17.360 control alt delete, control shift escape, and alt F4. No, that last one is 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 00:07:19.440 --> 00:07:25.520 sorry you had to hear it this way. And the future AI surveillance state is 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:29.680 going to be awesome, according to Oracle founder and current third richest man in 00:07:27.520 --> 00:07:33.400 the world, Larry Ellison. Lending further evidence to the theory that 00:07:31.200 --> 00:07:38.200 exposure to too much money causes lasting brain damage. Ellison recently 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:43.760 publicly expressed that being surrounded by cameras and AI agents looking at what 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:48.360 we're doing will keep us on our best behavior. And that future is coming 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:53.600 fast. South Korean researchers have apparently developed AI software called 00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:59.760 Deja View that predicts if and when a crime will occur with over 80% accuracy. 00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:04.400 Sadly, it does this by integrating CCTV footage, crime statistics, positioning 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:07.920 data, and other data, rather than a kitty pool full of psychics. It's a 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:12.120 reference to the movie. Have you seen the movie? You best be on your best 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:16.040 behavior and come back on Wednesday for more tech news. If you don't, then the 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 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:24.440 date with the latest tech news, and that will send an emergency alert straight to 00:08:21.960 --> 00:08:27.480 Larry Ellison. We don't want that. We don't know what he'll do.
