WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.879
oh no don't tell me we blue screen too

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:09.760
we're okay we're good great welcome to

00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:13.559
TechLink everything's on fire today public services and businesses across

00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:18.199
the globe have been taken out by a faulty software update within the last

00:00:15.559 --> 00:00:22.600
24 hours the bug has caused Windows systems around the world to enter

00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:27.640
seemingly unrecoverable boot Loops now Linux systems are unaffected but some

00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:32.840
Linux users are suffering from a new and frightening experience feeling empathy

00:00:30.439 --> 00:00:36.120
for Windows people Texan cyber security company crowd strike rolled out an

00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:42.399
update earlier this morning for their Falcon sensor security platform and it

00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:47.079
was bad Airlines have grounded flights banks are offline hospitals in multiple

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:52.559
countries have canceled non-emergency surgeries and the 911 emergency hotline

00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:57.879
went down in several US states worst of all hundreds maybe even thousands have

00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:03.239
been forced to go without an iced brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso from Star

00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:05.560
bucks today okay that's a joke but on a

00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:09.520
serious note us viewers should look up and save the 10-digit number for their

00:01:07.479 --> 00:01:14.360
local police or fire department because that wasn't affected now crowd strike

00:01:12.520 --> 00:01:18.799
has assured Windows customers that this is not a Cyber attack so you can feel

00:01:17.119 --> 00:01:24.560
safe knowing that this level of chaos was caused without any malicious actors

00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:28.759
whatsoever and as a bonus the situation has given cyber criminals ample

00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:34.119
opportunities to fish users with phony emails and domain that are offering

00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:35.759
fixes and patches for the outage one of

00:01:34.119 --> 00:01:38.880
the few countries they're not targeting right now though is Russia because

00:01:37.399 --> 00:01:42.840
thanks to all of the recent sanctions from the West they haven't used crowd

00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:46.960
strike since February of 2022 wow good for them instead they use software from

00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:51.560
local firms like kasperski Labs a company that the United States banned

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:56.840
almost exactly 1 month ago coincidence I think so now crowd strike

00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:00.960
has deployed a fix but it requires being online something that you can't really

00:01:58.600 --> 00:02:04.560
do when your computer is boot looping so if that doesn't work they've suggested

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:09.039
that you start the machine in safe mode navigate to the crowd strike directory

00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:13.560
folder and delete the relevant file something that needs to be done manually

00:02:10.679 --> 00:02:16.920
at every single machine if that doesn't work Microsoft has an alternative

00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:21.319
solution have you tried turning it off and on again have you tried it 15 times

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

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:30.760
upcoming ryzen AI 9 HX 370 chip

00:02:26.959 --> 00:02:34.160
allegedly is better than Apple's M3

00:02:30.760 --> 00:02:36.400
Max with just one core operating these

00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:40.040
alleged scores were leaked by hxl on Twitter but they seem like they might be

00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:44.680
real because they line up pretty well with AMD's own claims or well they line

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

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

00:02:53.120 --> 00:03:00.040
to four displays that it can play AAA games in full HD on integrated graphics

00:02:57.760 --> 00:03:05.440
and that its neural processing unit unit can manage 50 trillion floating Point

00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:10.080
operations per second to prove all of that they well they didn't prove it um

00:03:08.440 --> 00:03:14.080
most of the AI demos actually weren't running on the npu and the games that

00:03:12.200 --> 00:03:18.080
AMD said ran faster on the new integrated Graphics weren't available

00:03:15.959 --> 00:03:22.440
for testing at the event in fact the beefiest laptop that was showcased was

00:03:20.040 --> 00:03:27.239
running games on NVIDIA graphics with NVIDIA's dlss upscaling AMD reps

00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:31.480
provided various excuses for this like that the laptop hardware and firmware

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

00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:39.560
to download different games it's not like they existed somewhere did you

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

00:03:42.200 --> 00:03:46.760
about our sponsor s it's the new eim

00:03:45.239 --> 00:03:50.760
service app that keeps you connected while you travel because you're supposed

00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:53.799

install the eim and that's it once it's activated you're good good to go so if

00:04:01.079 --> 00:04:08.400
you are traveling or needing e Sim soon check out s.com TechLink and use code

00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:14.040
TechLink to save 15% off your first purchase enough slow sponsor bites I

00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:16.320
want some quick bites and I want them

00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:20.600
now the new meta Quest 4 has got a tentative release date with two versions

00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:26.080
of the headset launching in 2026 and a premium version planned for the

00:04:21.880 --> 00:04:28.199
following year code named laola laa I

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

00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:35.280
kmeta is also launching a pair of 70 G

00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:39.199
augmented reality glasses for reference a typical pair of glasses is a little

00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:44.919
less than 40 G so still heavier but a lot lighter than

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:49.759
a quest Intel is making it harder to Thermal throttle their upcoming aerol

00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:52.120
Lake CPUs not by making them run cooler

00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:57.360
mind you but by raising the temperature at which they will throttle according to

00:04:54.120 --> 00:05:00.240
the schematics published by leaker Jakin

00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:06.720
Jakin cool that is exact L what they plan to do just increase the TJ Maxx

00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:09.000
from 100° to 105° C meaning that they

00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:14.840
will definitely have hotter threads than the real TJ Maxx that's a good one now

00:05:12.440 --> 00:05:19.759
this isn't necessarily a bad thing if the CPU is designed for it and operates

00:05:17.320 --> 00:05:23.800
reliably at that temperature but since currently their 13th and 14th gen

00:05:21.919 --> 00:05:28.800
processors seem to be designed around a philosophy of crashing more than the

00:05:25.520 --> 00:05:31.160
competition even at a TJ Maxx of 100° I

00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:35.680
can't say that I'm feeling to Hopeful back in 2018 Google announced the

00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:40.039
deprecation of their URL shortener and just wanted to give you a reminder that

00:05:37.400 --> 00:05:44.199
yes that's still happening while they stopped generating shortened links in

00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:48.520
2019 they transferred those links to Firebase Dynamic links but now that

00:05:46.479 --> 00:05:53.080
they're shutting that down too when you click through a

00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:57.960
goo. link you'll be directed to a page informing you that that link will soon

00:05:54.759 --> 00:06:00.600
be dead boy oh boy Google killing even

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

00:06:03.080 --> 00:06:10.919
nothing lasts forever even cold November rain it lasts only as long as November

00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:15.960
yeah and then it's over Dyson the market leader in moving air very expensively is

00:06:14.039 --> 00:06:21.240
making a second attempt at headphones oh are they really after the hilarious

00:06:18.440 --> 00:06:26.639
Dyson Zone the newly announced Dyson onrack headphones will have customizable

00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:32.680
ear pads and outer caps and 55 hours of battery life with their best-in-class

00:06:29.599 --> 00:06:35.360
noise cancelling on and with a price of

00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:41.479
500 big ones they are undercutting the airpods Max and not much else they must

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

00:06:44.039 --> 00:06:51.120
they're bunk then we can say they blow without anyone getting upset and Toyota

00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:55.680
marai owners speaking of being upset are launching a class action lawsuit

00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:59.879
accusing Toyota of misleading consumers into thinking that buying a brand new

00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:05.240
car based on hardly supported hydrogen fuel cell technology was a good decision

00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:08.400
what the lawsuit focuses on Toyota not disclosing lower than advertised driving

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

00:07:12.520 --> 00:07:18.039
once was meaning the $155,000 fuel card

00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:22.560
that the company gave as an incentive is not going to last for the promised 5

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

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

00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:37.520
Tech in general so get perver pvnr get

00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:39.240
pvnr nerds neat and speaking of nerds

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

00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:47.520
weekend learning thermodynamics to better appreciate the beauty of the

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
