00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.680
used to be a king you know but I abdicated the throne for one very simple

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

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:18.039
though Mozilla has ignited controversy among Firefox users this week by

00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:21.720
primarily being bad at marketing see the company's been trying to build a new

00:00:19.560 --> 00:00:25.359
framework for online advertising that depends Less on collecting people's

00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:30.240
personal information they acquired anonym a company working on just that in

00:00:28.119 --> 00:00:36.399
June before announcing private preserving attribution in August PPA

00:00:33.559 --> 00:00:41.360
supposedly encrypts and Aggregates data about how many users engage with an ad

00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:46.760
without collecting any info about those users preserving privacy while still

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:49.239
letting websites generate revenue and I

00:00:46.760 --> 00:00:53.960
think it sounds good when you say it like that unfortunately yesterday

00:00:51.440 --> 00:00:59.280
mozilla's relatively new CEO started off her blog post about PPA by saying the

00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:03.800
company is going to be more active in digital ad advertising while an official

00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:09.119
Forum post talked about making ads and privacy coexist causing concern among

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:12.439
the particularly ad averse that Mozilla was going through that phase when you

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

00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:23.280
the first episode while some Firefox users simply want no ads on the internet

00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:28.640
period others are trying to explain how PPA could balance privacy and

00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:33.720
sustainability the problem is this isn't even mozilla's first marketing blunder

00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:39.680
for PPA ad block users were already mad about PPA being enabled by default in

00:01:36.360 --> 00:01:43.240
July's Firefox 128.0 release which led

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:45.600
EU privacy organization Nob which stands

00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:51.240
for none of your business the spit is silent to file a

00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:57.240
complaint over firefox's new feature which tracked users side note Nob is no

00:01:55.479 --> 00:02:03.799
joke another of their complaints just led to a top EU Court imposing limit on

00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:06.039
meta's data collection do not rub no the

00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:10.640
wrong way but they do appreciate if you rub them the right

00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:12.599
way they call it noing turns out that

00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:17.239
early PPA roll out was a limited developer test and did not collect any

00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:21.360
user data but Mozilla did admit last week they could have been more open

00:02:19.239 --> 00:02:26.120
about what they were doing only to Fumble the ball again this week the same

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:32.040
week they flagged the ublock origin light Firefox add-on as collecting user

00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:33.760
data and using machine generated code

00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:37.680
causing developer Raymond Hill to pull it from the add-on store after getting

00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:41.200
fed up with Mozilla support listen I want Firefox to be better at marketing

00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:44.280
so more people use it but right now they're at like 7% market share so

00:02:42.920 --> 00:02:47.760
proportionately I spent way too much time talking about this YouTube has

00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:52.599
announced a bunch of changes to how shorts work starting with how they're

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

00:02:54.120 --> 00:03:02.200
starting October 15th shorts can be up to 3 minutes long meaning any video with

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

00:03:04.200 --> 00:03:11.200
short by YouTube the change will only apply to videos uploaded after that date

00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:15.879
though so don't worry vertical Doom scrollers won't suddenly be hit with

00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:22.720
your experimental artsy student film the square is a box that represents society

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

00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:33.000
templates YouTube's also adding a remix ability with the use template button

00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:37.760
which will let you participate in that most storied of human Traditions doing

00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:42.519
it for the meme there's also a new trends page for shorts and later the

00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:47.519
shorts feed itself will show previews of comments before you even click through

00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:50.720
to the video which comments oh the worst ones obviously YouTube's obviously

00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:54.920
hoping the new features will help it compete with Tik Tok and it's already

00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:58.439
beating it in at least one way the new YouTube feature that lets you

00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:03.200
temporarily hide shorts from your YouTube home feed all together I wish I

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

00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:09.879
government meta has revealed meta movie

00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:14.840
genen its own photorealistic video generator capable of creating 16-second

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

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:23.240
available to the public meta's demos showcase the ability to edit existing

00:04:20.799 --> 00:04:28.000
videos using only text as well as impressively realistic simulations of

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:33.680
bad Halloween costumes but here's the twist with a single photo movie Jen can

00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:38.960
make a video deep fake of anyone dejing an impromptu set next to a cheetah only

00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:44.600
that scenario but is the chea dancing no is it Chester Cheetah maybe I'm

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:47.280
out I hate that guy and even more

00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:55.459
impressively to me it can generate music and audio synced up to the action in the

00:04:56.039 --> 00:05:02.000
video meta says movie Jen could usher in

00:04:59.320 --> 00:05:06.880
a new AI enabled era for Content creators as an example they ask you to

00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:13.039
imagine sending your friends some fresh baked AI slop for their birthday that'll

00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:15.000

man I killed in 1973 Microsoft has finally killed

wordpad the rich text editing word processor that debuted on Windows 95

00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:17.720
Microsoft has added it to its list of removed features and functionality it'll

00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:23.319
be gone from all additions of Windows starting with Windows 11 version 24 H2

00:06:41.599 --> 00:06:49.080
that they would be migrated to the protect Pro Plan next year doubling

00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:50.919
their subscription fee that reminder

00:06:49.080 --> 00:06:55.240
comes with heavy air quotes because the Verge Tracked Down When ring sent its

00:06:53.440 --> 00:07:00.520
original notification which turned out to be a tiny fine print footnote in a

00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:06.520
September 2021 email with the subject line important your plan name has

00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:09.000

home standard subscribers this week with the heading new name new features same

00:07:16.599 --> 00:07:22.960
great price the email then informs users that their subscription will no longer

include alarm professional monitoring and SOS emergency response because now

00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:31.840
calling the cops costs extra do you think calls to the police grow on trees

00:07:30.039 --> 00:07:36.759
someone's got to pay him the government who Google is testing the use of blue

00:07:34.479 --> 00:07:41.120
check marks as a way to protect users from fraudulent links in search results

00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:46.000
hovering over the check mark explains that Google is pretty sure the business

00:07:43.919 --> 00:07:50.280
is who they say they are and example of this also from The Verge depicts a

00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:54.440
notice that says Google can't guarantee the reliability of this business or its

00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:57.440
products but to be fair the business in question was

00:07:58.039 --> 00:08:07.400
Apple fr oh what the symbol I needed the

00:08:03.440 --> 00:08:09.159

00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:26.560
best Samsung issued a faulty software

00:08:24.400 --> 00:08:30.840
update two days ago that bricked many older Galaxy smartphones globally even

00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:35.640
worse the issue seemed to have been caused by an update to Samsung's smart

00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:40.360
things framework app an automatically installed app for controlling compatible

00:08:37.839 --> 00:08:44.959
smart devices I feel like users Still rocking Galaxy phones from 2019 aren't

00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:49.040
splurging on a smart fridge we're not sure whether this was necessary they're

00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:55.440
buying sensible things like basically anything else you can buy cabbage would

00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:57.440
you put in a dumb but the smart fridge

00:08:55.440 --> 00:09:02.440
enthusiasts watching this video may be excited to know that Apple fix fixed the

00:08:59.839 --> 00:09:07.640
update that was bricking M4 iPads what a transition I'm not saying only smart

00:09:04.560 --> 00:09:09.160
fridge owners own M4 iPads but I'm

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

00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:18.440
court has dismissed a shareholders lawsuit against Tesla over Elon musk's

00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:22.240
exaggerated claims about its full self-driving feature of course the case

00:09:20.680 --> 00:09:26.519
wasn't dismissed because those claims were true but rather because according

00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:34.000
to Tesla's own lawyers the statements were nothing more than corporate puffery

00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:36.240
AKA bull that no reasonable investor

00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:41.360
would have taken seriously I mean come on guys we're all just just locker room

00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:44.120
talk like but Elon had less success in

00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:48.760
Australia where a court upheld a $418,000 fine against Twitter which the

00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:54.160
corporation formerly known as Twitter fought on the grounds that following its

00:09:51.079 --> 00:09:57.640
merger with excore Twitter no longer

00:09:54.160 --> 00:09:59.680
exists Twitter who's that Twitter I

00:09:57.640 --> 00:10:04.680
never even met it Twitter I never even met look Elon just because somebody gets

00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:07.880
married and changes their name doesn't mean they no longer exist and it

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

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

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

00:10:23.920 --> 00:10:27.560
