1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,279
oh man i wish i could tell you what the

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:08,800
tech news is today because it is wild just crazy

3
00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:14,320
that's what you're doing tell them now that's oh oh okay sure

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:18,240
lenovo is continuing the annoying trend of making the pc as a platform less free

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:25,039
and open than it used to be by using AMD's platform secure boot feature to

6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:26,880
lock ryzen cpus to a specific system oh

7
00:00:25,039 --> 00:00:32,160
good i mean why would you want to take a CPU from one system and put it in

8
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:34,239
another one anyways that's where it goes

9
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:38,480
do i take the salt and put in the pepper shaker

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:40,239
madness you don't do that no no no never

11
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:44,160
the feature essentially bricks a processor if you try to put in a pc from

12
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:48,239
a different manufacturer and although this technology was more meant for

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:52,320
servers in the name of enhanced security according to serve the home lenovo is

14
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:56,160
now doing us all a favor and bringing it to desktop pcs

15
00:00:53,920 --> 00:01:00,480
thank you lenovo so you want to check a model's compatibility before you reuse a

16
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:04,720
CPU try to do some troubleshooting on another machine or buy a processor

17
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:09,520
second hand and make sure you thank lenovo for the higher security while you

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,520
do it

19
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:16,159
or you i'll protect you cold if you're thinking

20
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:22,320
about picking up an xbox one as a cheaper alternative to the price inflated xbox series x and s you might

21
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:26,640
want to move quickly it turns out microsoft actually stopped making them

22
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:30,799
at the end of 2020 which is something you just assume a console maker would do

23
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:35,360
when the next model is released if not for the fact that sony recently

24
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:40,159
increased production of ps4s to provide a budget-friendly ps5 alternative which

25
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:44,560
is a bit like grilling extra veggies to make up for the lack of steak at the

26
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:48,399
stake grilling championship right across the street from a steakhouse restaurant

27
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:53,360
i don't think that what if that technology is weak

28
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:57,759
who wrote this what does this say obviously you can still find new xbox

29
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:01,920
ones in stores but with no new units rolling off the production line they're

30
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:06,560
a dying breed don't worry microsoft will probably release the xcloud streaming

31
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:09,200
HDMI dongle thing soon till then you got

32
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:13,680
a phone don't you candy crush is waiting pokemon go yeah you got you got options

33
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:18,400
and netflix is ringing in the new year by surprising its fans with another

34
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:22,160
lovely price hike wow thank you for american users the price increases are

35
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,800
between one and two dollars per month depending on what tier of service you

36
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:28,800
subscribe to joker or yokel they're playing for you

37
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,680
for a full year they got you

38
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:37,200
this may not sound like very much but with people trying to eliminate extraneous expenses as a result of the

39
00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:40,959
pandemic it may push up quite a few subscribers who now have plenty of other

40
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:45,360
streaming services to choose from virtually all of which

41
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:49,280
are less expensive of course to justify the higher prices netflix has also been

42
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:53,519
aggressive on getting rights to more and more content because the more something

43
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:58,959

00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:16,480
useless cables that didn't even pass basic training worthless the spark

49
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:21,760

features a snag safe magnetic connector that reduces the risk of accidents and

51
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:30,879
lets you swap between lightning micro usb and usb type c tips

and if you're even more extreme there's also a 100 watt version so check out

53
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:40,799
volta and use code TechLinked to get 20 off spark cables for the next 48 hours

54
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,720
at the link below i'll take any bits you got but it's nice when they're quick i

56
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:53,360
you can overclock the non-k versions of Intel's new alder lake cpus after all

57
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:59,439
the news was made public by tech youtuber der bauer who was able to get

58
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:02,400
an i5 12600 up to 5.1 gigahertz on all

59
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:06,799
cores using only base clock overclocking which enabled in the tweaker's paradise

60
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,360
section of the ASUS motherboard BIOS is that a real thing

61
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,959
but keep in mind this was only supported on boards with an external clock

62
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:19,519
generator which most cheaper motherboards lack the other ones do not

63
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:22,239
live in a tweaker's paradise let me be clear yeah

64
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:29,919
amazon made headlines recently for its plans to stop accepting uk issued visa

65
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:33,840
credit cards allegedly due to high processing fees but the retailer just

66
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,520
announced this will no longer be the case and british shoppers will still be

67
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:41,360
able to use their visa cards the cut-off date was supposed to be january 19th but

68
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:45,360
many speculate this was all just a bargaining tactic what what no amazon

69
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:51,360
was doing this for the good of the people i honestly want to buy one of those

70
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,360
sanity booths it might help i hope so

74
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:11,520
1.5 billion dollars over the past five

75
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:15,039
given that the north korean economy continues to face sanctions from

76
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:18,479
international community the stolen crypto is believed to make up a

77
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:23,520
significant portion of the country's treasure to get it back we need nic cage

78
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:26,720
on this stack i love nick cage there's a pyramid

79
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:30,240
involved do you ever wonder what it'd be like to try and use modern internet on a

80
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:35,680
super old pc one tech enthusiast recorded himself

81
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,600
trying to connect with a 31.2 kilobit

82
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:41,840
dial-up connection on a Windows 98 system it turns out he couldn't even connect to

83
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:46,160
most websites directly at all and instead had to use a proxy which

84
00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:49,199
downloaded the pages to his pc you can check out the whole 23-minute experiment

85
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:53,919

00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:00,720
it eh i thought it was fine fine

88
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:05,680
all right this might soon be a reality as fedex has asked the faa for

89
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:10,639
permission to install them as one of them

90
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:13,680

fedex has asked permission to install them on one of its new fleets of cargo

93
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:24,880
planes fedex is concerned about civilian airplanes being targeted by portable

94
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:29,199
anti-aircraft weapons such as those that have made headlines in russia and iran

95
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:32,319
over the last decade no word yet on what the odds are the plans will get approved

96
00:06:31,039 --> 00:06:39,680
but i don't think a plane with a freaking laser beam attached to its fuselage is too much to ask for

97
