WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.279
oh man i wish i could tell you what the

00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:08.800
tech news is today because it is wild just crazy

00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:14.320
that's what you're doing tell them now that's oh oh okay sure

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:18.240
lenovo is continuing the annoying trend of making the pc as a platform less free

00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:25.039
and open than it used to be by using AMD's platform secure boot feature to

00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:26.880
lock ryzen cpus to a specific system oh

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

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:34.239
another one anyways that's where it goes

00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:38.480
do i take the salt and put in the pepper shaker

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:40.239
madness you don't do that no no no never

00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:44.160
the feature essentially bricks a processor if you try to put in a pc from

00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:48.239
a different manufacturer and although this technology was more meant for

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:52.320
servers in the name of enhanced security according to serve the home lenovo is

00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:56.160
now doing us all a favor and bringing it to desktop pcs

00:00:53.920 --> 00:01:00.480
thank you lenovo so you want to check a model's compatibility before you reuse a

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:04.720
CPU try to do some troubleshooting on another machine or buy a processor

00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:09.520
second hand and make sure you thank lenovo for the higher security while you

00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.520
do it

00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:16.159
or you i'll protect you cold if you're thinking

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

00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:26.640
want to move quickly it turns out microsoft actually stopped making them

00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:30.799
at the end of 2020 which is something you just assume a console maker would do

00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:35.360
when the next model is released if not for the fact that sony recently

00:01:32.960 --> 00:01:40.159
increased production of ps4s to provide a budget-friendly ps5 alternative which

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

00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:48.399
stake grilling championship right across the street from a steakhouse restaurant

00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:53.360
i don't think that what if that technology is weak

00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:57.759
who wrote this what does this say obviously you can still find new xbox

00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:01.920
ones in stores but with no new units rolling off the production line they're

00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:06.560
a dying breed don't worry microsoft will probably release the xcloud streaming

00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:09.200
HDMI dongle thing soon till then you got

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

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:18.400
and netflix is ringing in the new year by surprising its fans with another

00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:22.160
lovely price hike wow thank you for american users the price increases are

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.800
between one and two dollars per month depending on what tier of service you

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:28.800
subscribe to joker or yokel they're playing for you

00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:31.680
for a full year they got you

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

00:02:34.959 --> 00:02:40.959
pandemic it may push up quite a few subscribers who now have plenty of other

00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:45.360
streaming services to choose from virtually all of which

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:49.280
are less expensive of course to justify the higher prices netflix has also been

00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:53.519
aggressive on getting rights to more and more content because the more something

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

00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:25.680
features a snag safe magnetic connector that reduces the risk of accidents and

00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:30.879
lets you swap between lightning micro usb and usb type c tips

00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:40.799
volta and use code TechLinked to get 20 off spark cables for the next 48 hours

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

you can overclock the non-k versions of Intel's new alder lake cpus after all

00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:59.439
the news was made public by tech youtuber der bauer who was able to get

00:03:55.440 --> 00:04:02.400
an i5 12600 up to 5.1 gigahertz on all

00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:06.799
cores using only base clock overclocking which enabled in the tweaker's paradise

00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.360
section of the ASUS motherboard BIOS is that a real thing

00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:14.959
but keep in mind this was only supported on boards with an external clock

00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:19.519
generator which most cheaper motherboards lack the other ones do not

00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:22.239
live in a tweaker's paradise let me be clear yeah

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:29.919
amazon made headlines recently for its plans to stop accepting uk issued visa

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:33.840
credit cards allegedly due to high processing fees but the retailer just

00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:37.520
announced this will no longer be the case and british shoppers will still be

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

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:45.360
many speculate this was all just a bargaining tactic what what no amazon

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

00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:53.360
sanity booths it might help i hope so

reportedly stole nearly 400 million dollars worth of crypto last year and

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:11.520
1.5 billion dollars over the past five

00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:15.039
given that the north korean economy continues to face sanctions from

00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:18.479
international community the stolen crypto is believed to make up a

00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:23.520
significant portion of the country's treasure to get it back we need nic cage

00:05:20.960 --> 00:05:26.720

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

00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:35.680
super old pc one tech enthusiast recorded himself

00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:37.600
trying to connect with a 31.2 kilobit

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

00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:46.160
most websites directly at all and instead had to use a proxy which

00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:49.199
downloaded the pages to his pc you can check out the whole 23-minute experiment

00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:53.919
at the link we provide in the description or you can watch riley unbox

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:58.960
a phone he doesn't even care about oh up to you i didn't say that you didn't like

00:05:55.600 --> 00:06:00.720
it eh i thought it was fine fine

00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:05.680
all right this might soon be a reality as fedex has asked the faa for

00:06:03.280 --> 00:06:10.639
permission to install them as one of them

00:06:06.960 --> 00:06:13.680

00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:20.319
fedex has asked permission to install them on one of its new fleets of cargo

00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:24.880
planes fedex is concerned about civilian airplanes being targeted by portable

00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:29.199
anti-aircraft weapons such as those that have made headlines in russia and iran

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

00:06:31.039 --> 00:06:39.680
