1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,639
the whole world is shutting down but the tech news persists onward yes yes go

2
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:11,519
tech news i'll follow you no we've gotten used to the idea of

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:15,200
security flaws affecting many generations of processors since spectre

4
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:21,439
and meltdown were discovered but there's another one to watch out for if you're an amd user a couple of weaknesses

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:27,840
called takeaway affect amd cpus going all the way back to 2011 so both modern

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,599
ryzen based systems and old athlon 64 x2

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:33,040
chips are affected the attacks use a cache predictor to steal data from

8
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:36,960
memory and while it can't leak as much data as spectre did it could still allow

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:40,800
an attacker to access something critical like an encryption key reports indicate

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:44,879
that amd is known about the flaw for a few months and while the vulnerabilities

11
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:48,879
can be fixed with a firmware update it's unclear whether amd's previous patches

12
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:52,960
actually eliminated the problem so be careful out there maybe strap a big

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,160
paper mask to your cpu cooler if you need to i don't think that's gonna do it

14
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:00,239
this does it for everybody else that's how technology works if you've had a new

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,760
google pixel smartphone on your wishlist but don't think you have the money for

16
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:07,840
one you might be in luck as it looks like the lower cost pixel 4a might

17
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:11,200
become a reality in the near future there's no dual rear camera or face

18
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:15,600
unlock and it's probably going to have a more middle of the road soc however

19
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:20,799
you'll still get a reasonably sized 5.7 inch screen a punch hole front selfie

20
00:01:17,759 --> 00:01:23,040
camera and get this probably a headphone

21
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:25,680
jack what yes that's a rare luxury these days tell me

22
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:31,680
about it we still don't know exactly how much it'll cost or when it'll come out but it

23
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:36,479
might even be less than the 399 dollars we saw with the pixel 3a is the a

24
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:39,680
supposed to stand for affordable action although it appeared that fiber would be

25
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:43,520
the trendy new thing in home internet not too long ago it's actually

26
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,040
old-fashioned cable providers that are expanding their piece of the market a

27
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:51,439
new report indicates that at the end of last year cable-based isps control

28
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,600
two-thirds of the home internet market as non-cable telecommunications

29
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:59,600
providers actually lost internet subscribers partly due to the fact that

30
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:03,680
they haven't built enough fiber to the home connections to lure in new

31
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:06,000
customers hey

32
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:13,920
hello there's somebody on the roof the apocalypse is here they're coming in

33
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,120
it's unclear whether wireless 5g to the home will change the balance of power

34
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:20,840
anytime soon but if you really want fiber in the meantime you can always

35
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:25,680

including bioshock borderlands civilization nba and other franchises

46
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:10,800

other companies have come to terms with amazon to incorporate the technology

00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:36,239
into their own stores amazon didn't say which companies they actually were but

53
00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:41,760

green ridge generation is using excess natural gas energy that would otherwise

58
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:00,640
be wasted to make extra revenue from crypto to the tune of the equivalent of

59
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:05,120
about 45 what 45 000 us dollars per day

60
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:10,319

a fortnight player you might be happy to know that epic games is taking out a

70
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:49,199
feature that allowed players to spam the left trigger to track opponents even

71
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:52,960
behind obstacles what the feature was an old aim assist system and has commonly

72
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:57,040
been exploited leading some players using keyboards and mice to cry foul in

73
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,160
matches against players with controllers no word yet though if epic is planning

74
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,199
