1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,680
used to be a king you know but I abdicated the throne for one very simple

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:12,840
reason I wanted to focus on bringing you the tech news I'm still going to tax you

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:18,039
though Mozilla has ignited controversy among Firefox users this week by

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:21,720
primarily being bad at marketing see the company's been trying to build a new

5
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:25,359
framework for online advertising that depends Less on collecting people's

6
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:30,240
personal information they acquired anonym a company working on just that in

7
00:00:28,119 --> 00:00:36,399
June before announcing private preserving attribution in August PPA

8
00:00:33,559 --> 00:00:41,360
supposedly encrypts and Aggregates data about how many users engage with an ad

9
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:46,760
without collecting any info about those users preserving privacy while still

10
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:49,239
letting websites generate revenue and I

11
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:53,960
think it sounds good when you say it like that unfortunately yesterday

12
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:59,280
mozilla's relatively new CEO started off her blog post about PPA by saying the

13
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:03,800
company is going to be more active in digital ad advertising while an official

14
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:09,119
Forum post talked about making ads and privacy coexist causing concern among

15
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:12,439
the particularly ad averse that Mozilla was going through that phase when you

16
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:17,200
think Don Draper is a good guy in Mad Men you like the first five seconds of

17
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:23,280
the first episode while some Firefox users simply want no ads on the internet

18
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:28,640
period others are trying to explain how PPA could balance privacy and

19
00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:33,720
sustainability the problem is this isn't even mozilla's first marketing blunder

20
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:39,680
for PPA ad block users were already mad about PPA being enabled by default in

21
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:43,240
July's Firefox 128.0 release which led

22
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:45,600
EU privacy organization Nob which stands

23
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:51,240
for none of your business the spit is silent to file a

24
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:57,240
complaint over firefox's new feature which tracked users side note Nob is no

25
00:01:55,479 --> 00:02:03,799
joke another of their complaints just led to a top EU Court imposing limit on

26
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:06,039
meta's data collection do not rub no the

27
00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:10,640
wrong way but they do appreciate if you rub them the right

28
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,599
way they call it noing turns out that

29
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:17,239
early PPA roll out was a limited developer test and did not collect any

30
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:21,360
user data but Mozilla did admit last week they could have been more open

31
00:02:19,239 --> 00:02:26,120
about what they were doing only to Fumble the ball again this week the same

32
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:32,040
week they flagged the ublock origin light Firefox add-on as collecting user

33
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,760
data and using machine generated code

34
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:37,680
causing developer Raymond Hill to pull it from the add-on store after getting

35
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:41,200
fed up with Mozilla support listen I want Firefox to be better at marketing

36
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,280
so more people use it but right now they're at like 7% market share so

37
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:47,760
proportionately I spent way too much time talking about this YouTube has

38
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:52,599
announced a bunch of changes to how shorts work starting with how they're

39
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:56,560
not going to be so short you still have to put them on one leg at a time

40
00:02:54,120 --> 00:03:02,200
starting October 15th shorts can be up to 3 minutes long meaning any video with

41
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:06,360
a Square aspect ratio or taller that's less than 3 minutes will be seen as a

42
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:11,200
short by YouTube the change will only apply to videos uploaded after that date

43
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:15,879
though so don't worry vertical Doom scrollers won't suddenly be hit with

44
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:22,720
your experimental artsy student film the square is a box that represents society

45
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:28,840
and the black and white represents my soul in an Ode to Tik tok's cap cut

46
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:33,000
templates YouTube's also adding a remix ability with the use template button

47
00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:37,760
which will let you participate in that most storied of human Traditions doing

48
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:42,519
it for the meme there's also a new trends page for shorts and later the

49
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:47,519
shorts feed itself will show previews of comments before you even click through

50
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:50,720
to the video which comments oh the worst ones obviously YouTube's obviously

51
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:54,920
hoping the new features will help it compete with Tik Tok and it's already

52
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:58,439
beating it in at least one way the new YouTube feature that lets you

53
00:03:56,159 --> 00:04:03,200
temporarily hide shorts from your YouTube home feed all together I wish I

54
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:07,599
could do that on Tik Tok I also wish I wouldn't be spied on by the Chinese

55
00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:09,879
government meta has revealed meta movie

56
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:14,840
genen its own photorealistic video generator capable of creating 16-second

57
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:18,440
videos with a Twist or else I wouldn't be telling you about it though it's not

58
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:23,240
available to the public meta's demos showcase the ability to edit existing

59
00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:28,000
videos using only text as well as impressively realistic simulations of

60
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:33,680
bad Halloween costumes but here's the twist with a single photo movie Jen can

61
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:38,960
make a video deep fake of anyone dejing an impromptu set next to a cheetah only

62
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:44,600
that scenario but is the chea dancing no is it Chester Cheetah maybe I'm

63
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:47,280
out I hate that guy and even more

64
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:55,459
impressively to me it can generate music and audio synced up to the action in the

65
00:04:56,039 --> 00:05:02,000
video meta says movie Jen could usher in

66
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:06,880
a new AI enabled era for Content creators as an example they ask you to

67
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:13,039

their subscription fee that reminder

101

check marks as a way to protect users from fraudulent links in search results

102
00:07:39,319 --> 00:07:46,000
hovering over the check mark explains that Google is pretty sure the business

103
00:07:43,919 --> 00:07:50,280
is who they say they are and example of this also from The Verge depicts a

104
00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:54,440
notice that says Google can't guarantee the reliability of this business or its

105
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,440
products but to be fair the business in question was

106
00:07:58,039 --> 00:08:07,400
Apple fr oh what the symbol I needed the

107
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:09,159

tell you to eat rocks but also recommend the tastiest ones I like ignas rocks the

111
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,560
best Samsung issued a faulty software

112
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:30,840
update two days ago that bricked many older Galaxy smartphones globally even

113
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:35,640
worse the issue seemed to have been caused by an update to Samsung's smart

114
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:40,360
things framework app an automatically installed app for controlling compatible

115

smart devices I feel like users Still rocking Galaxy phones from 2019 aren't

116
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:49,040
splurging on a smart fridge we're not sure whether this was necessary they're

117
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:55,440
buying sensible things like basically anything else you can buy cabbage would

118
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:57,440
you put in a dumb but the smart fridge

119
00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:02,440
enthusiasts watching this video may be excited to know that Apple fix fixed the

120
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:07,640
update that was bricking M4 iPads what a transition I'm not saying only smart

121
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:09,160
fridge owners own M4 iPads but I'm

122
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:13,519
pretty sure they could afford one I want a fridge I can watch Tik Tok on and a

123
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:18,440
court has dismissed a shareholders lawsuit against Tesla over Elon musk's

124
00:09:16,519 --> 00:09:22,240
exaggerated claims about its full self-driving feature of course the case

125
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:26,519
wasn't dismissed because those claims were true but rather because according

126
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:34,000
to Tesla's own lawyers the statements were nothing more than corporate puffery

127
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:36,240
AKA bull that no reasonable investor

128
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:41,360
would have taken seriously I mean come on guys we're all just just locker room

129
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:44,120
talk like but Elon had less success in

130
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:48,760
Australia where a court upheld a $418,000 fine against Twitter which the

131
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:54,160
corporation formerly known as Twitter fought on the grounds that following its

132
00:09:51,079 --> 00:09:57,640
merger with excore Twitter no longer

133
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:59,680
exists Twitter who's that Twitter I

134
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:04,680
never even met it Twitter I never even met look Elon just because somebody gets

135
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:07,880
married and changes their name doesn't mean they no longer exist and it

136
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:12,279
definitely doesn't mean they don't owe me money like how you owe it to yourself

137
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:19,120
to come back on Monday for more Tech news you also owe it to me like a little

138
00:10:15,079 --> 00:10:21,399
bit I mean I gave up a crown for you I

00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:27,560
was bossing people around it was great few assassination attempts I was

140
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,560
