WEBVTT 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:05.720 Oh, so it's tech news you want. 00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:18.320 Apple has been making some positively wacky moves lately with notoriously 00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:23.519 accurate analyst Mingchi Quo claiming a more affordable MacBook is coming next 00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:25.600 year with an A18 Processor. 00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:30.880 Yeah, as in the chip that powers the iPhone 16 Pro. If any other company was 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:34.800 putting a phone CPU in a laptop, we'd probably all immediately burst out 00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:38.000 laughing. But this is an Apple silicon chip. Scientists don't even know how to 00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:42.239 measure its upper limits. I'm pretty sure it could power an Iron Man suit. 00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:48.640 Lending some credence to Quo's claim, Mac Rumor said they spotted references 00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:51.120 to this iPhone book in some backend code 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:56.719 last year. So Quo also made it clear Apple ain't 00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:59.760 giving up on spatial computing just yet, 00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:02.160 predicting a new Vision Pro with an M5 00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:09.280 chip launching this year, a Vision Air and XR glasses in 2027, followed by a 00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:11.280 Vision Pro 2 in 2028. Maybe by then 00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:15.520 they'll have stopped trying to slither around EU regulations like they did last 00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:20.479 week when they announced a new tiered commission system that punishes iOS app 00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:26.000 developers with less visibility on the app store and the removal of basic 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:28.640 features unless they pay Apple a 13% 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:34.560 commission on external purchases. Apple also said they have no choice but to 00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:37.280 withhold some iOS 26 features from EU 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:42.159 users due to bureaucratic complexities introduced by the so-called digital 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:46.720 markets act and they implore regulators to consider making it easier for small 00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:52.000 businesses such as themselves to make a living and say hi to your mother for me. 00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:57.200 The US Supreme Court on Friday upheld a Texas law requiring adult websites to 00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:02.320 verify the age of their users, indicating that similar laws passed in 00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:07.360 nearly half of all US states are totally fine despite Pornhub ceasing operations 00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:11.840 in many of them and horn dogs have nowhere else to go. Twitter's not a 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:16.160 thing anymore. The ruling is igniting dick sores, I mean discourse around how 00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:21.440 such laws interact with the first amendment, aka free speech, with some 00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:25.840 analysts saying age verification could demolish the internet as a tool for 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:30.239 speech and that the Supreme Court judges are scared of nudity. And while there 00:02:28.239 --> 00:02:34.879 are legitimate concerns about how easy it is to legalize censorship as long as 00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:39.440 you're doing it to protect the kids, more and more countries and US states 00:02:36.959 --> 00:02:44.319 are passing age verification laws for social media, too. Now, if we could just 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:48.000 find a way to do it without forcing people to upload their driver's licenses 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:52.000 or something, because we'd have to start giving kids driver's licenses, and 00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:57.360 that's a whole another can of worms. Supposed human person Mark Zuckerberg 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:59.680 has announced all of Meta's AI stuff is 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:06.319 being restructured under a new division called Meta Super Intelligence Labs, led 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:08.400 by Scale AI founder Alexander Wang, who 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:14.640 was recruited earlier this month as part of a 14 billion investment in Scale AI. 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:19.440 Zuck also treated himself to some billionaire fund. You know, he splurged 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:24.720 a bit, offered massive pay packages, and successfully poached 11 top researchers 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:28.879 from Google Anthropic and especially Open AI, where so many employees were 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:33.760 getting meta offers that the company is now re-calibrating compensation for 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:39.360 staff and giving them the whole week off so the execs can please have quiet in 00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:43.840 the office for 5 seconds. Meta wants all those AI researchers because A, Meta's 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:49.040 models need some serious work to catch up, and B, they really want AI in every 00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:53.040 corner of their products, including Facebook, where users have reported 00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:58.159 being shown AI versions of private pictures from their camera roll. This is 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 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:08.640 with allow and disallow options for letting Meta AI automatically AIFI your 00:04:06.239 --> 00:04:13.120 private photos. In the EU, some users say they got an email to opt out, which 00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:17.359 was likely missed by many. Regardless, you can opt out yourself on the Facebook 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:21.359 mobile app. Can't do it on desktop by going to settings, then preferences, 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:26.160 then camera roll sharing suggestions. Meta AI, the personal AI that 00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:30.000 understands you because it already went through all of your How about instead 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:34.240 you go through hell and back in our sponsor, War Thunder, the game that 00:04:31.840 --> 00:04:38.960 immerses you in intense combat with more than 2500 incredibly detailed tanks, 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:42.720 planes, helicopters, and ships in one of the most sophisticated vehicle damage 00:04:40.960 --> 00:04:47.040 models in gaming. We're talking individual components like engines, fuel 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:51.199 tanks, weapons, and even crew members. This is still a video game. They're a 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:54.960 component all susceptible to damage or disabling by enemy shells or missiles, 00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:59.120 different types of which behave differently according to the type of 00:04:56.479 --> 00:05:03.120 armor you have equipped. It's science. You can learn about how all those things 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 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:11.280 have in real life.

Tell me you're 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:29.600 joking. Microsoft is making it easier for 00:05:27.440 --> 00:05:34.880 regular non-b businessiness users to stay on Windows 10 for an extra year by 00:05:32.320 --> 00:05:39.199 making extended security updates free for users who sync their PC settings to 00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:44.720 Windows Backup with their Microsoft account. You can still pay 30 bucks if 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:49.120 you prefer. Or you can now redeem a thousand Microsoft rewards points if you 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:52.800 know what those are, cuz I don't. Microsoft's even just providing an 00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:57.280 option in Windows settings to enroll in the ESU program because Windows 10's end 00:05:55.440 --> 00:06:00.320 of support in October is fast approaching. And I guess they'll do 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:06.160 anything to stop you from migrating to Linux. For they know the pain that 00:06:03.039 --> 00:06:08.639 awaits you there. Anker has announced 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:13.759 another recall for five more of the company's power banks. The A1257, 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. 00:06:16.960 --> 00:06:24.240 Unlike the previous recall of the Power Core 10,000 power bank, there are 00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:28.639 reportedly no reports of explosions, but Anker figured, hey, why not try being 00:06:26.400 --> 00:06:33.600 proactive and do something to stop their batteries from exploding before they 00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:38.639 explode? It's weird and new, but they're open-minded. Canada has canled plans to 00:06:36.080 --> 00:06:42.400 enact a digital services tax on American tech companies, the first payments of 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:47.199 which were supposed to start coming in today. US President Trump ended all 00:06:44.960 --> 00:06:53.520 trade talks with Canada on Friday in response to the tax, which left Canada 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:55.680 feeling pretty dumb. So, you know, sorry 00:06:53.520 --> 00:06:59.840 about that. And after making their tiny humanoid robots fight each other 00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:05.680 physically, China is making them play the world's most popular game, football. 00:07:03.840 --> 00:07:09.919 While humans may love it, the robots show no celebration whatsoever when they 00:07:07.919 --> 00:07:13.919 score a goal. But they do capture the spirit of the game perfectly in one 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:18.319 respect. These bots take some of the most dramatic dives I've ever seen for 00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:23.520 no discernable reason at all. Oh, what? They're bringing out the stretcher. Come 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:24.880 on. He's fine. I won't be fine if you 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 00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:35.680 soccer players, none of whom have ever suffered a single real injury. I love 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.680 sports.
