00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.180
wait if it's good Friday then why is

00:00:03.419 --> 00:00:10.860
this Tech news only passable at best it's just okay Microsoft has managed to

00:00:08.820 --> 00:00:16.260
close a loophole used to download emulators on Xbox making Retro Gaming

00:00:13.860 --> 00:00:20.580
just a bit harder on the platform unless you use this one simple trick that App

00:00:18.779 --> 00:00:25.320
Stores hate the only clue we have as to why this is

00:00:22.859 --> 00:00:29.460
happening now after years of Microsoft seemingly not caring that much about a

00:00:27.300 --> 00:00:32.340
few Bros emulating each other it doesn't matter if you use your Bros loophole if

00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:38.219
you're wearing socks the only clue comes from Microsoft Azure

00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:41.340
developer Aliana McKenna on Twitter she

00:00:38.219 --> 00:00:43.559
claims a colleague from Xbox QA said

00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:48.360
that this was related to legal issues with Nintendo and while that almost

00:00:45.660 --> 00:00:52.620
makes too much sense there are some caveats McKenna didn't provide any

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:57.180
receipts and emulators have been officially banned from Microsoft's Store

00:00:54.660 --> 00:01:03.420
policies for a long time so it's conceivable that Microsoft suddenly

00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:05.640
decided to enforce their own rules

00:01:03.420 --> 00:01:10.860
the emulators that were in circulation were published as private universal

00:01:08.100 --> 00:01:15.119
Windows platform or uwp apps which allows them to bypass the approval

00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:19.200
process for a public store listing while allowing anyone with a link to download

00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:23.280
it but wouldn't you know it for just twenty dollars you can put your console

00:01:21.420 --> 00:01:26.820
in developer mode and make those emulators work again

00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:30.600
money is there no problem they can't solve

00:01:28.979 --> 00:01:36.180
Samsung has announced they would be cutting memory chip production after

00:01:32.220 --> 00:01:38.579
reporting a 96 nice percent drop in q1

00:01:36.180 --> 00:01:42.540
profits compared to last year would 96 be bad

00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:48.299
not nice reportedly the Korean company had its smallest quarterly profit since

00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:51.600
the 2009 financial crisis at a mere 600

00:01:48.299 --> 00:01:53.820
billion won or 450 million US Dollars

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:57.899
Samsung blames a falling demand for memory chips so they are adjusting to

00:01:56.100 --> 00:02:03.720
lower memory production to a meaningful level which is corpo speak for make less

00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:08.539
next time do us a favor and say less you know what I mean give me a

00:02:06.299 --> 00:02:13.500
questions competitors like SK hynix and Micron had

00:02:11.700 --> 00:02:17.879
already reduced their production but Samsung allegedly held off doing the

00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:24.000
same to grab market share from these competitors I guess that went well

00:02:21.420 --> 00:02:28.800
the good news for you dear consumer is that this trend of hilarious Tech Goofs

00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:33.300
should lower prices on PC components provided that they actually follow

00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:40.440
economic Trends and aren't artificially inflated due to swarms of crypto and or

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:42.420
AI Bros gpus that's what happened also

00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:47.040
Market analysts predict the price decrease will only last six months at

00:02:44.760 --> 00:02:52.019
which point the prices will go up at least for DDR memory so if you don't

00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:55.099
have enough save to upgrade there's always next recession

00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:03.959
and two major telecom companies up here in Canada have merged and become one

00:03:01.140 --> 00:03:09.660
that's right we have problematic mergers too we're a real country

00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:11.879
We Exist Rogers Communications

00:03:09.660 --> 00:03:15.659
Incorporated has taken over Shaw Communications Incorporated the final

00:03:14.040 --> 00:03:19.819
move in a battle that was probably initially started by a which Corporation

00:03:17.940 --> 00:03:26.040
has the most original name contest obviously the acquisition cost Rogers a

00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:31.379
cool 20 billion Canadian rubles which equates to about 14.9 billion Freedom

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:35.220
bucks consumer Advocates have long protested the lack of competition in the

00:03:33.480 --> 00:03:41.280
Canadian Telecom space with the market dominated by two companies Rogers and

00:03:38.040 --> 00:03:43.980
bell and occasionally Telus tags in for

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:48.659
a fun three-way on the west coast where only consumers get screwed Canada's

00:03:46.620 --> 00:03:52.560
mobile data cost per Gigabyte is currently seven times more expensive

00:03:50.459 --> 00:03:57.659
than Australia 25 times more than Ireland and France and 1 000 times more

00:03:55.260 --> 00:04:02.159
than Finland some think that this merger will allow for more competition though

00:03:59.819 --> 00:04:06.959
because Shaw was forced to sell its subsidiary and fourth largest Canadian

00:04:04.440 --> 00:04:10.860
wireless provider free to mobile 2 the fifth largest Canadian wireless provider

00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:15.900
now that's confusing it's actually fairly simple two mergers May decrease

00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:19.979
the number of companies but still increase competition through the

00:04:17.940 --> 00:04:24.419
sophisticated application of blood sacrifice and lies now it's time for

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:29.880

below do you ever feel like life moves too fast well you're about to because

00:04:58.500 --> 00:05:05.220
here comes the quick bits former Tesla employees have claimed

00:05:02.699 --> 00:05:11.580
their co-workers passed around private videos recorded it by customer vehicles

00:05:07.740 --> 00:05:13.919
from 2019 to 2022 graphic crashes road

00:05:11.580 --> 00:05:19.139
rage incidents and embarrassing moments such as a naked man approaching a car

00:05:15.900 --> 00:05:20.520
were shared internally Tesla States in

00:05:19.139 --> 00:05:25.259
their privacy policy that camera recordings remain anonymous but former

00:05:22.979 --> 00:05:29.520
employees claim that a program used internally at the company can display

00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:34.560
location data that can be used to identify customers so if you were ever

00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:37.979
naked in front of a Tesla it may be time to take that permanent vacation to

00:05:36.060 --> 00:05:42.900
Mexico you've always dreamed of we're just the low cost of everything you have

00:05:40.340 --> 00:05:47.940
Comcast has been accused by some of its customers of abusing the managed Wi-Fi

00:05:45.479 --> 00:05:52.500
feature on iOS that allows iPhones and iPads to Auto join carrier networks

00:05:50.340 --> 00:05:56.639
while users are supposed to be able to disable the feature on each managed

00:05:54.419 --> 00:06:01.080
Network at least one user has stated they cannot disable auto join on their

00:05:59.100 --> 00:06:06.060
carriers managed networks which includes any neighbor with a Wi-Fi modem combo

00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:09.840
with a free hotspot okay how about a little gratitude for the free one bar

00:06:08.220 --> 00:06:12.840
Wi-Fi that interrupts your homework network connection that you pay for

00:06:11.280 --> 00:06:17.520
that's way better we didn't have to do that

00:06:14.580 --> 00:06:23.039
Twitter is disabling likes replies and retweets for any tweet with a link to

00:06:20.220 --> 00:06:26.100
sub stack and only sub stack because that's the next bold step to ensuring

00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:29.400
freedom of speech on the internet preventing writers and journalists from

00:06:28.080 --> 00:06:33.300
sharing their point of view or making money Twitter has not announced any

00:06:31.740 --> 00:06:38.280
reason for this change but it comes shortly after substack announced the

00:06:35.580 --> 00:06:45.120
notes feature which could kind of be seen as a Twitter competitor

00:06:41.340 --> 00:06:47.759
but not really it's a stretch so far

00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:51.300
Elon Musk is doing a great job of fostering competition to the product he

00:06:49.860 --> 00:06:55.740
owns in that AMD's acquisition of zilinx has borne

00:06:54.060 --> 00:07:01.979
fruit with the launch of a standalone media accelerator card for data centers

00:06:58.220 --> 00:07:05.819
baby yeah okay that sounds boring but

00:07:01.979 --> 00:07:08.039
actually the alveo ma35d is the first in

00:07:05.819 --> 00:07:12.479
line of media accelerator cards for data centers that could change the streaming

00:07:09.780 --> 00:07:19.080
game thanks to its ability to encode and decode av1 h.264 and h.265 eposvox does

00:07:17.340 --> 00:07:24.120
a tremendous job talking about how awesome this 1600 card is so check out

00:07:21.660 --> 00:07:29.220
his video if you like me had to be convinced this thing is cool and a nasty

00:07:26.819 --> 00:07:34.500
rumor has come out that Sony is planning to launch a new handheld except

00:07:32.580 --> 00:07:39.000
it isn't anything anyone would actually want uh the alleged device would be

00:07:36.599 --> 00:07:44.280
exclusively for streaming games from your PS5 via remote play and would

00:07:42.300 --> 00:07:49.139
require constant internet connectivity like only in your home

00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:52.919
is anything you can do it outside why buy a Nintendo switch or a steam

00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:58.220
deck when you can just play on your PS5 but on a smaller screen and only when

00:07:55.020 --> 00:08:01.020
the Wi-Fi isn't spotty

00:07:58.220 --> 00:08:06.300
and why not come back on Monday for more Tech news I mean you can be with your

00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:08.539
family or you can be with me some guy in the internet
