1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,879
oh no don't tell me we blue screen too

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:09,760
we're okay we're good great welcome to

3
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:13,559
TechLink everything's on fire today public services and businesses across

4
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:18,199
the globe have been taken out by a faulty software update within the last

5
00:00:15,559 --> 00:00:22,600
24 hours the bug has caused Windows systems around the world to enter

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:27,640
seemingly unrecoverable boot Loops now Linux systems are unaffected but some

7
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:32,840
Linux users are suffering from a new and frightening experience feeling empathy

8
00:00:30,439 --> 00:00:36,120
for Windows people Texan cyber security company crowd strike rolled out an

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:42,399
update earlier this morning for their Falcon sensor security platform and it

10
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:47,079
was bad Airlines have grounded flights banks are offline hospitals in multiple

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:52,559
countries have canceled non-emergency surgeries and the 911 emergency hotline

12
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:57,879
went down in several US states worst of all hundreds maybe even thousands have

13
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:03,239
been forced to go without an iced brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso from Star

14
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:05,560
bucks today okay that's a joke but on a

15
00:01:03,239 --> 00:01:09,520
serious note us viewers should look up and save the 10-digit number for their

16
00:01:07,479 --> 00:01:14,360
local police or fire department because that wasn't affected now crowd strike

17
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:18,799
has assured Windows customers that this is not a Cyber attack so you can feel

18
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:24,560
safe knowing that this level of chaos was caused without any malicious actors

19
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:28,759
whatsoever and as a bonus the situation has given cyber criminals ample

20
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:34,119
opportunities to fish users with phony emails and domain that are offering

21
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,759
fixes and patches for the outage one of

22
00:01:34,119 --> 00:01:38,880
the few countries they're not targeting right now though is Russia because

23
00:01:37,399 --> 00:01:42,840
thanks to all of the recent sanctions from the West they haven't used crowd

24
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:46,960
strike since February of 2022 wow good for them instead they use software from

25
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:51,560
local firms like kasperski Labs a company that the United States banned

26
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:56,840
almost exactly 1 month ago coincidence I think so now crowd strike

27
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:00,960
has deployed a fix but it requires being online something that you can't really

28
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:04,560
do when your computer is boot looping so if that doesn't work they've suggested

29
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:09,039
that you start the machine in safe mode navigate to the crowd strike directory

30
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:13,560
folder and delete the relevant file something that needs to be done manually

31
00:02:10,679 --> 00:02:16,920
at every single machine if that doesn't work Microsoft has an alternative

32
00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:21,319
solution have you tried turning it off and on again have you tried it 15 times

33
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:26,959
in a row you're 16th time you get a free sub AMD's cinebench scores for their

34
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:30,760
upcoming ryzen AI 9 HX 370 chip

35
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:34,160
allegedly is better than Apple's M3

36
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:36,400
Max with just one core operating these

37
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:40,040
alleged scores were leaked by hxl on Twitter but they seem like they might be

38
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:44,680
real because they line up pretty well with AMD's own claims or well they line

39
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:50,599
up with the claims that it's faster not the massive 15% that they mentioned at their recent

40
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:55,480
two-day event in Los Angeles they're also bragging that the HX 370 can run up

41
00:02:53,120 --> 00:03:00,040
to four displays that it can play AAA games in full HD on integrated graphics

42
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:05,440
and that its neural processing unit unit can manage 50 trillion floating Point

43
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:10,080
operations per second to prove all of that they well they didn't prove it um

44
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:14,080
most of the AI demos actually weren't running on the npu and the games that

45
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:18,080
AMD said ran faster on the new integrated Graphics weren't available

46
00:03:15,959 --> 00:03:22,440
for testing at the event in fact the beefiest laptop that was showcased was

47
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:27,239
running games on NVIDIA graphics with NVIDIA's dlss upscaling AMD reps

48
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:31,480
provided various excuses for this like that the laptop hardware and firmware

49
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:35,560
isn't final okay fair enough and also that the Wi-Fi is too slow at the hotel

50
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:39,560
to download different games it's not like they existed somewhere did you

51
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:45,239
build the laptop in the hotel like maybe they did and maybe I need to tell you

52
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,760
about our sponsor s it's the new eim

53
00:03:45,239 --> 00:03:50,760
service app that keeps you connected while you travel because you're supposed

54
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:53,799
to be relaxing not worrying about not having a reliable phone plan in a

55
00:03:52,079 --> 00:03:58,560
foreign Nation all you need to do is pick a plan from over 150 countries

56
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:03,280
install the eim and that's it once it's activated you're good good to go so if

57
00:04:01,079 --> 00:04:08,400
you are traveling or needing e Sim soon check out s.com TechLink and use code

58
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:14,040
TechLink to save 15% off your first purchase enough slow sponsor bites I

59
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:16,320
want some quick bites and I want them

60
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:20,600
now the new meta Quest 4 has got a tentative release date with two versions

61
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:26,080
of the headset launching in 2026 and a premium version planned for the

62
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:28,199
following year code named laola laa I

63
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:32,759
think La Hoya cool and if you don't like bulky headsets you're in luck because

64
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:35,280
kmeta is also launching a pair of 70 G

65
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:39,199
augmented reality glasses for reference a typical pair of glasses is a little

66
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:44,919
less than 40 G so still heavier but a lot lighter than

67
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:49,759
a quest Intel is making it harder to Thermal throttle their upcoming aerol

68
00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:52,120
Lake CPUs not by making them run cooler

69
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:57,360
mind you but by raising the temperature at which they will throttle according to

70
00:04:54,120 --> 00:05:00,240
the schematics published by leaker Jakin

71
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:06,720
Jakin cool that is exact L what they plan to do just increase the TJ Maxx

72
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:09,000
from 100° to 105° C meaning that they

73
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:14,840
will definitely have hotter threads than the real TJ Maxx that's a good one now

74
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:19,759
this isn't necessarily a bad thing if the CPU is designed for it and operates

75
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:23,800
reliably at that temperature but since currently their 13th and 14th gen

76
00:05:21,919 --> 00:05:28,800
processors seem to be designed around a philosophy of crashing more than the

77
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:31,160
competition even at a TJ Maxx of 100° I

78
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:35,680
can't say that I'm feeling to Hopeful back in 2018 Google announced the

79
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:40,039
deprecation of their URL shortener and just wanted to give you a reminder that

80
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:44,199
yes that's still happening while they stopped generating shortened links in

81
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:48,520
2019 they transferred those links to Firebase Dynamic links but now that

82
00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:53,080
they're shutting that down too when you click through a

83
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:57,960
goo. link you'll be directed to a page informing you that that link will soon

84
00:05:54,759 --> 00:06:00,600
be dead boy oh boy Google killing even

85
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:05,360
more of the internet that's my favorite thing in the words of my boy Axel Rose

86
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:10,919
nothing lasts forever even cold November rain it lasts only as long as November

87
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:15,960
yeah and then it's over Dyson the market leader in moving air very expensively is

88
00:06:14,039 --> 00:06:21,240
making a second attempt at headphones oh are they really after the hilarious

89
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:26,639
Dyson Zone the newly announced Dyson onrack headphones will have customizable

90
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:32,680
ear pads and outer caps and 55 hours of battery life with their best-in-class

91
00:06:29,599 --> 00:06:35,360
noise cancelling on and with a price of

92
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:41,479
500 big ones they are undercutting the airpods Max and not much else they must

93
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:46,080
be mad that Apple got their air branding out before they did but hey at least if

94
00:06:44,039 --> 00:06:51,120
they're bunk then we can say they blow without anyone getting upset and Toyota

95
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:55,680
marai owners speaking of being upset are launching a class action lawsuit

96
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:59,879
accusing Toyota of misleading consumers into thinking that buying a brand new

97
00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:05,240
car based on hardly supported hydrogen fuel cell technology was a good decision

98
00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:08,400
what the lawsuit focuses on Toyota not disclosing lower than advertised driving

99
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:15,879
range the difficulty of finding functioning fuel pumps and the fact that hydrogen is twice as expensive as it

100
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:18,039
once was meaning the $155,000 fuel card

101
00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:22,560
that the company gave as an incentive is not going to last for the promised 5

102
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:28,000
years then there's the issue of the fuel pumps freezing to the car requiring a 30

103
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:33,840
minute wait for the pump to warm up the last one is really a flaw with Hydro

104
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:37,520
Tech in general so get perver pvnr get

105
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:39,240
pvnr nerds neat and speaking of nerds

106
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:43,120
you nerds need to tune back in on Monday for more Tech news and maybe spend your

107
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:47,520
weekend learning thermodynamics to better appreciate the beauty of the

108
00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:52,080
ideal gas law PV they're not going to do that they should I believe in you guys
