1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:06,400
ah nothing like hosting TechLinked on a holiday when there's no one else in the

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:11,440
office got the got the tech news all to myself

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:15,440
not lonely at all oh unless you count

4
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:19,359
dennis uh hi dennis i forgot i forgot you were here yeah i'm here so remember

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:23,920
last week when the u.s government banned american companies from doing business

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:26,320
with huawei yeah uh turns out that's a

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:30,320
really huge deal in compliance with the white house order google suspended

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:34,880
business with huawei which means huawei will no longer have access to the latest

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:38,719
Android os and system updates huawei devices will still have access to the

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:42,480
play store and updates for their apps but on a system level the company will

11
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:48,239
be restricted to using whatever version of Android is available from the Android

12
00:00:44,559 --> 00:00:50,640
open source project or aosp like a like

13
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:54,960
a common peasant but guess what other companies are also american and have to

14
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:59,280
comply with the order Intel qualcomm and broadcom who are also suspending sales

15
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,879
of components to huawei now for their part huawei have guaranteed their

16
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:06,080
customers will receive in-house security updates but it's clear this move will

17
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:10,320
have a significant impact on the company's global ambitions and its

18
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:14,240
customers experience it's important to note that all of these anti-huawei

19
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:18,320
developments are recurring despite a lack of concrete evidence that the

20
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:21,439
company is being used as a spying tool for the chinese government u.s

21
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:25,439
intelligence apparently showed classified information to tech giant

22
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:30,320
executives in recent months to brief them on the dangers of companies like

23
00:01:27,119 --> 00:01:32,799
huawei but any proof of spying if it

24
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:35,920
exists has yet to make it to the public the american commerce department

25
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:40,240
actually said that parts of the huawei ban may be scaled back to mitigate the

26
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:45,680
potentially disastrous effects this situation might have on the businesses

27
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,680
of both huawei and american companies

28
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:52,399
all this to say if you were thinking about getting a huawei phone

29
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:56,079
maybe just wait until the dust settles a bit

30
00:01:53,280 --> 00:02:01,200
there's lots of other really great chinese phones oh no

31
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:04,719
no no no Intel is facing a crisis of their own in the fallout from last

32
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:09,119
week's revelations concerning more speculative execution vulnerabilities

33
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:13,040
found in the company's processors Intel chips will soon be getting patches for

34
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:18,319
the flaws known as zombie load ridl fallout store to leak forwarding and

35
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:22,640
collectively known as mds AMD has taken this opportunity to let the public know

36
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,319
their chips are completely safe from these attacks thanks to hardware

37
00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:29,840
protection checks in their architecture not only that but Intel chips will

38
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,480
suffer a performance hit thanks to the patches and according to pharonix that

39
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:38,000
could mean anything from a 16 to 50 percent decrease depending on the

40
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,280
workload meanwhile AMD's chips are sitting pretty with a minimal impact

41
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:46,160
from any fixes that need to be applied so the whole Intel chips are best for

42
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:49,040
gaming might not be true for very long i mean it's kind of a

43
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:53,360
net negative for overall chip performance but i like to celebrate the

44
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:59,120
small wins with AMD keep going guys you're doing great

45
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,040
and google glass is coming back why it's

46
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,080
anyone's guess you want a google glass dennis

47
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:08,879
yes do you know everything google anything google ah that sounds dangerous

48
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:13,280
you want google spying on you sure watch me

49
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:18,319
but the division behind the wearable formerly known as google x and now known

50
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:23,440
simply as x has officially unveiled glass enterprise edition 2 running a

51
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:27,680
qualcomm snapdragon xr1 system on chip the device also features improved camera

52
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:31,680
performance bluetooth 5 and the exact same physical design apparently it looks

53
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,519
like the x team responsible for glass are moving out of alphabet's moonshot

54
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:39,120
division and into the ar vr division of google where it will

55
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:45,200
continue to develop its products alongside the daydream and ar core teams

56
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:48,879
maybe in a post pokemon go and minecraft earth world there will be a bit more

57
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:53,360
acceptance for people with computers and cameras on their heads but not computers

58
00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:57,120
and cameras foreheads i'm sorry dennis we're just not ready

59
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:01,840

00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,040
sounds like a deal to me

70
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,440
hmm was it quick bits or was it

71
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:50,720
yeah another story from last week with continuing fallout is the epic game

72
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:54,639
store's mega sale apparently the communication between epic and game

73
00:04:52,479 --> 00:04:59,520
publishers wasn't so solid and as a result some games including borderlands

74
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:03,360
3 and vampire masquerade bloodlines 2 have been removed from the store

75
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:07,199
previously you were able to pre-order those games but they'll be apparently

76
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,960
unavailable until the sale concludes on june 13th

77
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:13,919
whoopsies but also you shouldn't be pre-ordering things

78
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:17,680
anyways and maybe you don't like that i'm telling you what to do well i'm not

79
00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:21,360
ruin the industry and your own life see if i care i do care please don't do that

80
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:26,160
you'd think that sony making a deal with microsoft about cloud gaming would

81
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:27,759
concern the gaming part of sony the

82
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:31,440
playstation team but apparently they weren't even aware the deal was taking

83
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:35,440
place and now they have to do business with their bitter xbox rivals well at

84
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:40,960
least they'll be able to talk to nintendo because that company is joining the powwow and is apparently looking

85
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:44,960
into using microsoft's cloud tech for their own streaming solutions wow it's

86
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,240
like microsoft is the nerdy kid at school who was bullied until the cool

87
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,680
kids got him to do their homework and he thought they wanted to be friends

88
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:55,440
but they just wanted him for his cloud streaming technology

89
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:59,680
the classic story google's newly released pixel 3a and

90
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:03,199
3axl phones are doing what newly released pixel phones do and

91
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:06,800
experiencing problems users are reporting the phones are shutting

92
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:11,120
themselves down booting into safe mode or performing a factory reset may help

93
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:15,199
the issue but until google gets a patch out all 3a users can do is take this

94
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:18,800
opportunity to put their phone down and look around at the real world for pete's

95
00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:22,319
sake you don't have to see everything through a gender swap filter

96
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:28,720
you do want to see everything through that dennis early builds of microsoft's

97
00:06:27,039 --> 00:06:33,759
chromium-based edge have been out for a while and now mac users can try it out

98
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:35,600
for themselves or try out firefox or

99
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:39,520
just regular chrome just anything but safari

100
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:43,919
just get out of there and a forum called og users which was a popular place for

101
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:49,600
hackers and cyber criminals to trade stolen account credentials was itself

102
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:54,240
hacked last week with forum users usernames passwords emails ip addresses

103
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:57,919
and private messages being leaked along with the source code for the website

104
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:01,840
itself now we just need someone to hack the hackers who hack the hacking form

105
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:05,280
and the rest of us will probably be safe i mean we can just we can just chill let

106
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:10,479
them fight it out among themselves you know i'm sure that's how that works and it's
