1
00:00:00,380 --> 00:00:04,260
- Oh, man, the Tech News don't stop. Keep that Tech News flowin' baby!

2
00:00:06,490 --> 00:00:11,200
Intel has announced that their CEO for the last two years, Bob Swan, is stepping down.

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,330
Swan, who was formerly the company's Chief Financial Officer

4
00:00:14,330 --> 00:00:18,630
will be replaced by Pat Gelsinger, a former Intel veteran of 30 years.

5
00:00:18,630 --> 00:00:21,718
- [Guy] Gelsinger? - Meh. - [[Guy] I don't Know. - He's super gel.

6
00:00:21,718 --> 00:00:26,800
The announcement comes right in the middle of CES, which would normally seem like a sign of instability.

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,023
But for one, this is a virtual CES, so it doesn't count.

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:35,200
And for two, Intel is pretty unstable right now. So it's fine.

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,133
Investors seem to be happy with the change, hoping that Gelsinger, gel singers,

10
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,290
G singer, his former roles as an engineer and as a Chief Technology Officer

11
00:00:44,290 --> 00:00:47,690
will help him straighten out the company after years of manufacturing problems

12
00:00:47,690 --> 00:00:52,140
and competitive missteps. Although, his name is way less fun to say.

13
00:00:52,140 --> 00:00:56,640
Bob Swan! YouTube is a little late to the band fest,

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,470
but yesterday they announced that they were suspending US President Donald Trump's channel,

15
00:01:00,470 --> 00:01:05,720
because of the risk of ongoing potential for violence. The site said a recent video from his channel

16
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,120
violated its policy for inciting violence. So the channel has received a strike,

17
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,280
and is temporarily disallowed for uploading new content,

18
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,010
for a minimum of seven days. Of course it is a fairly lax punishment

19
00:01:17,010 --> 00:01:20,950
compared to platforms like Facebook and Twitter, who have slapped indefinite bans on the present

20
00:01:20,950 --> 00:01:24,460
and many of his supporters, leading to controversy over censorship.

21
00:01:24,460 --> 00:01:28,020
This week, lawmakers in North Dakota submitted a bill that would allow citizens

22
00:01:28,020 --> 00:01:31,450
to sue social media platforms with over 1 million users,

23
00:01:31,450 --> 00:01:35,640
for restricting censoring or suppressing speech. America is pretty tense right now,

24
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,030
heading into president elect Biden's inauguration next week. So much so,

25
00:01:39,030 --> 00:01:43,240
that Airbnb has canceled all bookings in Washington, DC.

26
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,163
That's just not fair to the owners.

27
00:01:46,250 --> 00:01:51,410
How about let's just get through that and then we can talk about nationalizing Twitter.

28
00:01:51,410 --> 00:01:56,250
- [Guy] Yeah. - Okay? And thanks to Apple, ARM processors are a bigger deal now than ever before,

29
00:01:56,250 --> 00:02:00,900
which has gotten Qualcomm so excited, that they bought fellow ARM chip designer, Nuvia,

30
00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:03,990
for $1.4 billion.

31
00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:09,240
Nuvia was founded in 2019 by former engineers from Apple, Google, ARM and AMD,

32
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,720
and has been working on Phoenix, an ARM server SOC,

33
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,350
designed to achieve the highest single thread performance in the industry,

34
00:02:16,350 --> 00:02:20,480
which is not something ARM chips are especially known for. Maybe the chip burns itself out

35
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,640
and then reboots, or something. - [Guy] (mumbles) feels like a Phoenix.

36
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:27,880
James, did you get that (laughs) - Oh, it's a feature, not a bug.

37
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,380
And hey, in other ARM news, Samsung announced a new Exynos processor at CES.

38
00:02:32,380 --> 00:02:37,840
Cool, whatever. But they also said, their next chip will finally debut

39
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:43,050
with that built-in AMD GPU that they've been hearing so much rapid speculation about

40
00:02:43,050 --> 00:02:47,820
in 2022, the year the best gaming laptops will be a Samsung phone.

41
00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:51,020
And that's a fact, Jack. You can take that to the bank.

42
00:02:51,020 --> 00:02:54,840
- [Guy] Take that to the bank! - Hank. Now it's time for Quick Bits, brought to you by Pulseway,

43
00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:00,313
the software that lets you manage your system from wherever you are. With Pulseway I become, the pulse master.

44
00:03:01,190 --> 00:03:06,170
I have complete real-time monitoring and control of servers, workstations and network devices, like printers and routers.

45
00:03:06,170 --> 00:03:11,400
I can automate security patching, on all my devices. I have full access to real-time statuses,

46
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,620
log logged in users and network performance. Right now, I'm creating and deploying

47
00:03:15,620 --> 00:03:18,630
automated custom scripts, to complete IT tasks.

48
00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:22,210
Is glorious! Now be gone. You too can have this power.

49
00:03:22,210 --> 00:03:26,130
Try Pulseway for free at pulseway.com, or through our link in the video description.

50
00:03:26,130 --> 00:03:30,490
Ah, the Quick Bits! There's always more weird stuff to talk about during CES,

51
00:03:30,490 --> 00:03:35,150
like this single seat vertical takeoff and landing concept vehicle from Cadillac (laughs)

52
00:03:35,150 --> 00:03:39,940
It's not real, but it is cool. ASUS made a tiny projector shaped like a coffee mug

53
00:03:39,940 --> 00:03:44,320
and called it the ZenBeam Latte. (laughter) Should have been the ZenBean.

54
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,990
And the Avita Admiror II is a laptop with three webcams

55
00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:52,543
and a built-in ring light around the display so streamers can look fresh as hell on the go.

56
00:03:54,430 --> 00:03:57,810
It just needs a forward facing fan, and I may consider it.

57
00:03:57,810 --> 00:04:02,700
- [Guy] Blow your hair. - Yeah, Mariah Carey hair, very rare. Samsung's S21 Ultra has basically been leaked

58
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:06,160
in full by Evleaks, revealing specs, color ways,

59
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,710
and even a case with a built-in slot to put the S pen.

60
00:04:09,710 --> 00:04:14,430
I guess this is more or less our confirmation that the Note line is over.

61
00:04:14,430 --> 00:04:18,090
I'm not sad, well. Ring, the home security company owned by Amazon

62
00:04:18,090 --> 00:04:23,500
has announced they're adding end-to-end encryption for their video doorbells and security cameras.

63
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:27,070
For some of them anyway. And Amazon for sure promises

64
00:04:27,070 --> 00:04:30,230
they won't look at your encrypted data. It's not like,

65
00:04:30,230 --> 00:04:35,790
selling it as a huge part of their business model or anything. - [Guy] They're successful capital people making money.

66
00:04:35,790 --> 00:04:39,030
Economy. - Europol has taken down what is suspected to be

67
00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:42,460
the largest illegal marketplace on the dark web,

68
00:04:42,460 --> 00:04:46,960
with the arrest of its operator in Germany. Bit of advice for those building its successor.

69
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,150
Maybe don't call it something like, DarkMarket.

70
00:04:50,150 --> 00:04:53,874
Kind of draws attention. Evil shop, secret drug market.

71
00:04:53,874 --> 00:04:56,153
- [Guy] The bad place. - Yeah, Body Parts R Us.

72
00:04:57,270 --> 00:05:02,740
And to round off today's show, we've got some game news. Disney's newly formed Lucasfilm games division

73
00:05:02,740 --> 00:05:07,400
has enlisted Ubisoft's massive studio to make an open world "Star Wars" game.

74
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,160
Ah, it's so easy to get excited when you hear "Star Wars" even though I've been burned so many times.

75
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,220
Plus we already have that. It's called "The Mandalorian."

76
00:05:15,220 --> 00:05:18,900
But whatever. "Hogwarts Legacy" has been delayed to 2022.

77
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:22,750
I'm assuming in hopes that people will have forgotten who J K Rowling is by then.

78
00:05:22,750 --> 00:05:25,780
And CD Projekt Red has published a video admitting

79
00:05:25,780 --> 00:05:31,920
to its mistakes developing "Cyberpunk 2077" and making a commitment to quality going forward.

80
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,980
Hey, that's awesome. Whoa, time to end this one, guys.

81
00:05:35,980 --> 00:05:40,681
Come back tomorrow for more Tech News because it's like a special week, just like you.

82
00:05:40,681 --> 00:05:41,561
- [Guy] Aww!
