it's time for TechLinked who's ready everybody
there's no one else here except dennis
happy easter dennis
but spacex was probably not enjoying their long weekend as the company's
dragon spacecraft apparently exploded on its landing pad during the countdown for
an engine test i said apparently because spacex's official statement called the
incident simply an anomaly but leaked video seems to show the explosion
definitely happening in addition large orangish clouds of smoke could be seen
at the launch site so something exploded i know explosions
anyways the dragon is spacex's capsule designed to hold a crew and it already
successfully flew an unmanned demo mission to the international space
station in march while no one was hurt in this incident spacex will probably
have to do some deep analysis to try and figure out what caused the problem which
could delay future missions and just to make elon musk's weekend even worse a
tesla was documented catching fire in a shanghai parking lot yesterday as well
what is this elon did you just make a bunch of fake cars and rockets and stuff
as a prank is a clown gonna bust out of
dennis's model three if he buys one
why would you do dennis dirty like that dennis
i can't afford one oh he says he can't afford one anyways
okay well Linus give dennis a raise samsung is not
playing around with the launch of the galaxy fold after the whole kerfuffle
with reviewers peeling off their device's screen protectors which weren't
actually screen protectors and the folds displays failing samsung has decided to
delay the phone's launch the galaxy fold was supposed to launch on april 26th
this friday for 1980 us dollars but the
company is postponing that indefinitely to evaluate all of the reports of
malfunctioning units and run further tests a new release date will be
announced in the coming weeks folding phones haven't happened yet because the
technology just wasn't there but perhaps
it still isn't except i just know huawei is going to launch their folding phone
and everything's going to work just perfectly
freaking huawei i mean we might be right
to be suspicious of huawei depending on how much you trust the cia the u.s
intelligence agency shared information with members of the five eyes alliance
that's america canada britain australia and new zealand indicating that huawei
is partially funded by china's national security commission the people's
liberation army and a third division that is also part of the chinese
intelligence apparatus now this information was not shared publicly so
effectively this is just another example of an accusation leveled against huawei
without any real evidence to back it up and for huawei's part they seem to be
doing just fine despite pressure from the us as today the company said their
first quarter revenue has gone up by 39 percent compared to the same time last
year i mean look i'm suspicious of huawei 2 but at some point
you gotta show the receipts america unless they're from a cvs those are
way too long i don't want to see those you like it long

faster and without breaking the bank we use it here at Linus media group all the
time especially when we need to get a video produced fast like for TechLinked
for example we write shoot and edit all in the same day so having access to the
footage we need now is crucial i'm pretty sure if i made dennis go shoot

about storyblocks video click the link below and now it's time

Intel is busy redoing their whole approach to graphics and is asking tech
enthusiasts on reddit what they want to see in the company's graphical products
instead of an ask me anything Intel's holding ask you anything sessions on
their subreddit so if you have strong opinions about graphics tech or just
need someone to listen to you complain about your personal problems it sounds
like you might find someone ready to listen over there last week during the fortnite world cup
qualifier matches epic games banned 1163 accounts for two weeks for
sidestepping region locks players apparently did this so they could have
multiple chances to qualify 196 players
who did manage to win some prize money have had their winnings taken away as a
result why fortnite players and why aren't you

soon be able to ask the google assistant for information about government
services thanks to the uk government digital service so you can just say to
your google home hello governor how do i
apply for a passport i'm sorry uk
citizens i know that's not how all of you talk
and robots are about to get a lot better at handling squishy things
that's exciting dennis researchers at mit have developed a
particle simulation system that helps ais learn how to grab objects without
applying too much force this will be crucial for us to build
robots that can give us hugs without also making us dead there's also other
applications for that that i didn't think about until just now because you
you've got a dirty mind he's got a he's weird up here
and unfortunately i now have to make this episode dead because it's over
thanks for watching everybody now come on back on wednesday when there will be
a lot more people in the studio it'll be a lot less lonely and a lot
less weird more squishy
