1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,720 Oh, so it's tech news you want. 2 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:18,320 Apple has been making some positively wacky moves lately with notoriously 3 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:23,519 accurate analyst Mingchi Quo claiming a more affordable MacBook is coming next 4 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:25,600 year with an A18 Processor. 5 00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:30,880 Yeah, as in the chip that powers the iPhone 16 Pro. If any other company was 6 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:34,800 putting a phone CPU in a laptop, we'd probably all immediately burst out 7 00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:38,000 laughing. But this is an Apple silicon chip. Scientists don't even know how to 8 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:42,239 measure its upper limits. I'm pretty sure it could power an Iron Man suit. 9 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:48,640 Lending some credence to Quo's claim, Mac Rumor said they spotted references 10 00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:51,120 to this iPhone book in some backend code 11 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:56,719 last year. So Quo also made it clear Apple ain't 12 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:59,760 giving up on spatial computing just yet, 13 00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:02,160 predicting a new Vision Pro with an M5 14 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:09,280 chip launching this year, a Vision Air and XR glasses in 2027, followed by a 15 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:11,280 Vision Pro 2 in 2028. Maybe by then 16 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:15,520 they'll have stopped trying to slither around EU regulations like they did last 17 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:20,479 week when they announced a new tiered commission system that punishes iOS app 18 00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:26,000 developers with less visibility on the app store and the removal of basic 19 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:28,640 features unless they pay Apple a 13% 20 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:34,560 commission on external purchases. Apple also said they have no choice but to 21 00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:37,280 withhold some iOS 26 features from EU 22 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:42,159 users due to bureaucratic complexities introduced by the so-called digital 23 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:46,720 markets act and they implore regulators to consider making it easier for small 24 00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:52,000 businesses such as themselves to make a living and say hi to your mother for me. 25 00:01:49,119 --> 00:01:57,200 The US Supreme Court on Friday upheld a Texas law requiring adult websites to 26 00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:02,320 verify the age of their users, indicating that similar laws passed in 27 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:07,360 nearly half of all US states are totally fine despite Pornhub ceasing operations 28 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:11,840 in many of them and horn dogs have nowhere else to go. Twitter's not a 29 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:16,160 thing anymore. The ruling is igniting dick sores, I mean discourse around how 30 00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:21,440 such laws interact with the first amendment, aka free speech, with some 31 00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:25,840 analysts saying age verification could demolish the internet as a tool for 32 00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:30,239 speech and that the Supreme Court judges are scared of nudity. And while there 33 00:02:28,239 --> 00:02:34,879 are legitimate concerns about how easy it is to legalize censorship as long as 34 00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:39,440 you're doing it to protect the kids, more and more countries and US states 35 00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:44,319 are passing age verification laws for social media, too. Now, if we could just 36 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:48,000 find a way to do it without forcing people to upload their driver's licenses 37 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:52,000 or something, because we'd have to start giving kids driver's licenses, and 38 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:57,360 that's a whole another can of worms. Supposed human person Mark Zuckerberg 39 00:02:54,319 --> 00:02:59,680 has announced all of Meta's AI stuff is 40 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:06,319 being restructured under a new division called Meta Super Intelligence Labs, led 41 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,400 by Scale AI founder Alexander Wang, who 42 00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:14,640 was recruited earlier this month as part of a 14 billion investment in Scale AI. 43 00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:19,440 Zuck also treated himself to some billionaire fund. You know, he splurged 44 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:24,720 a bit, offered massive pay packages, and successfully poached 11 top researchers 45 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:28,879 from Google Anthropic and especially Open AI, where so many employees were 46 00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:33,760 getting meta offers that the company is now re-calibrating compensation for 47 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:39,360 staff and giving them the whole week off so the execs can please have quiet in 48 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:43,840 the office for 5 seconds. Meta wants all those AI researchers because A, Meta's 49 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:49,040 models need some serious work to catch up, and B, they really want AI in every 50 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:53,040 corner of their products, including Facebook, where users have reported 51 00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:58,159 being shown AI versions of private pictures from their camera roll. This is 52 00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:02,560 a feature, not a bug. In the US, at least some users were shown a pop-up 53 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:08,640 with allow and disallow options for letting Meta AI automatically AIFI your 54 00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:13,120 private photos. In the EU, some users say they got an email to opt out, which 55 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:17,359 was likely missed by many. Regardless, you can opt out yourself on the Facebook 56 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:21,359 mobile app. Can't do it on desktop by going to settings, then preferences, 57 00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:26,160 then camera roll sharing suggestions. Meta AI, the personal AI that 58 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:30,000 understands you because it already went through all of your How about instead 59 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:34,240 you go through hell and back in our sponsor, War Thunder, the game that 60 00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:38,960 immerses you in intense combat with more than 2500 incredibly detailed tanks, 61 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:42,720 planes, helicopters, and ships in one of the most sophisticated vehicle damage 62 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:47,040 models in gaming. We're talking individual components like engines, fuel 63 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:51,199 tanks, weapons, and even crew members. This is still a video game. They're a 64 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:54,960 component all susceptible to damage or disabling by enemy shells or missiles, 65 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:59,120 different types of which behave differently according to the type of 66 00:04:56,479 --> 00:05:03,120 armor you have equipped. It's science. You can learn about how all those things 67 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:07,360 interacted to cause you to blow up using the X-ray view, which would be great to 68 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:11,280 have in real life.

Tell me you're 72 00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:29,600 joking. Microsoft is making it easier for 73 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:34,880 regular non-b businessiness users to stay on Windows 10 for an extra year by 74 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:39,199 making extended security updates free for users who sync their PC settings to 75 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:44,720 Windows Backup with their Microsoft account. You can still pay 30 bucks if 76 00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:49,120 you prefer. Or you can now redeem a thousand Microsoft rewards points if you 77 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,800 know what those are, cuz I don't. Microsoft's even just providing an 78 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:57,280 option in Windows settings to enroll in the ESU program because Windows 10's end 79 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:00,320 of support in October is fast approaching. And I guess they'll do 80 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:06,160 anything to stop you from migrating to Linux. For they know the pain that 81 00:06:03,039 --> 00:06:08,639 awaits you there. Anker has announced 82 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:13,759 another recall for five more of the company's power banks. The A1257, 83 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:19,280 A1647. I'm not going to read all of those. They don't exactly roll off the tongue. 84 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:24,240 Unlike the previous recall of the Power Core 10,000 power bank, there are 85 00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:28,639 reportedly no reports of explosions, but Anker figured, hey, why not try being 86 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:33,600 proactive and do something to stop their batteries from exploding before they 87 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:38,639 explode? It's weird and new, but they're open-minded. Canada has canled plans to 88 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:42,400 enact a digital services tax on American tech companies, the first payments of 89 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:47,199 which were supposed to start coming in today. US President Trump ended all 90 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:53,520 trade talks with Canada on Friday in response to the tax, which left Canada 91 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:55,680 feeling pretty dumb. So, you know, sorry 92 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:59,840 about that. And after making their tiny humanoid robots fight each other 93 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:05,680 physically, China is making them play the world's most popular game, football. 94 00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:09,919 While humans may love it, the robots show no celebration whatsoever when they 95 00:07:07,919 --> 00:07:13,919 score a goal. But they do capture the spirit of the game perfectly in one 96 00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:18,319 respect. These bots take some of the most dramatic dives I've ever seen for 97 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:23,520 no discernable reason at all. Oh, what? They're bringing out the stretcher. Come 98 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,880 on. He's fine. I won't be fine if you 99 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:30,960 don't come back on Wednesday for more tech news, though. It'll be as emotionally damaging to me as it is to 100 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:35,680 soccer players, none of whom have ever suffered a single real injury. I love 101 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,680 sports.
