WEBVTT 00:00:00.380 --> 00:00:04.260 - Oh, man, the Tech News don't stop. Keep that Tech News flowin' baby! 00:00:06.490 --> 00:00:11.200 Intel has announced that their CEO for the last two years, Bob Swan, is stepping down. 00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:14.330 Swan, who was formerly the company's Chief Financial Officer 00:00:14.330 --> 00:00:18.630 will be replaced by Pat Gelsinger, a former Intel veteran of 30 years. 00:00:18.630 --> 00:00:21.718 - [Guy] Gelsinger? - Meh. - [[Guy] I don't Know. - He's super gel. 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. 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.023 But for one, this is a virtual CES, so it doesn't count. 00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:35.200 And for two, Intel is pretty unstable right now. So it's fine. 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:39.133 Investors seem to be happy with the change, hoping that Gelsinger, gel singers, 00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:44.290 G singer, his former roles as an engineer and as a Chief Technology Officer 00:00:44.290 --> 00:00:47.690 will help him straighten out the company after years of manufacturing problems 00:00:47.690 --> 00:00:52.140 and competitive missteps. Although, his name is way less fun to say. 00:00:52.140 --> 00:00:56.640 Bob Swan! YouTube is a little late to the band fest, 00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.470 but yesterday they announced that they were suspending US President Donald Trump's channel, 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 00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:10.120 violated its policy for inciting violence. So the channel has received a strike, 00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.280 and is temporarily disallowed for uploading new content, 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:17.010 for a minimum of seven days. Of course it is a fairly lax punishment 00:01:17.010 --> 00:01:20.950 compared to platforms like Facebook and Twitter, who have slapped indefinite bans on the present 00:01:20.950 --> 00:01:24.460 and many of his supporters, leading to controversy over censorship. 00:01:24.460 --> 00:01:28.020 This week, lawmakers in North Dakota submitted a bill that would allow citizens 00:01:28.020 --> 00:01:31.450 to sue social media platforms with over 1 million users, 00:01:31.450 --> 00:01:35.640 for restricting censoring or suppressing speech. America is pretty tense right now, 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:39.030 heading into president elect Biden's inauguration next week. So much so, 00:01:39.030 --> 00:01:43.240 that Airbnb has canceled all bookings in Washington, DC. 00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:45.163 That's just not fair to the owners. 00:01:46.250 --> 00:01:51.410 How about let's just get through that and then we can talk about nationalizing Twitter. 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, 00:01:56.250 --> 00:02:00.900 which has gotten Qualcomm so excited, that they bought fellow ARM chip designer, Nuvia, 00:02:00.900 --> 00:02:03.990 for $1.4 billion. 00:02:03.990 --> 00:02:09.240 Nuvia was founded in 2019 by former engineers from Apple, Google, ARM and AMD, 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:12.720 and has been working on Phoenix, an ARM server SOC, 00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:16.350 designed to achieve the highest single thread performance in the industry, 00:02:16.350 --> 00:02:20.480 which is not something ARM chips are especially known for. Maybe the chip burns itself out 00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:24.640 and then reboots, or something. - [Guy] (mumbles) feels like a Phoenix. 00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:27.880 James, did you get that (laughs) - Oh, it's a feature, not a bug. 00:02:27.880 --> 00:02:32.380 And hey, in other ARM news, Samsung announced a new Exynos processor at CES. 00:02:32.380 --> 00:02:37.840 Cool, whatever. But they also said, their next chip will finally debut 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:43.050 with that built-in AMD GPU that they've been hearing so much rapid speculation about 00:02:43.050 --> 00:02:47.820 in 2022, the year the best gaming laptops will be a Samsung phone. 00:02:47.820 --> 00:02:51.020 And that's a fact, Jack. You can take that to the bank. 00:02:51.020 --> 00:02:54.840 - [Guy] Take that to the bank! - Hank.

There's always more weird stuff to talk about during CES, 00:03:30.490 --> 00:03:35.150 like this single seat vertical takeoff and landing concept vehicle from Cadillac (laughs) 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 00:03:39.940 --> 00:03:44.320 and called it the ZenBeam Latte. (laughter) Should have been the ZenBean. 00:03:44.320 --> 00:03:47.990 And the Avita Admiror II is a laptop with three webcams 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. 00:03:54.430 --> 00:03:57.810 It just needs a forward facing fan, and I may consider it. 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 00:04:02.700 --> 00:04:06.160 in full by Evleaks, revealing specs, color ways, 00:04:06.160 --> 00:04:09.710 and even a case with a built-in slot to put the S pen. 00:04:09.710 --> 00:04:14.430 I guess this is more or less our confirmation that the Note line is over. 00:04:14.430 --> 00:04:18.090 I'm not sad, well. Ring, the home security company owned by Amazon 00:04:18.090 --> 00:04:23.500 has announced they're adding end-to-end encryption for their video doorbells and security cameras. 00:04:23.500 --> 00:04:27.070 For some of them anyway. And Amazon for sure promises 00:04:27.070 --> 00:04:30.230 they won't look at your encrypted data. It's not like, 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. 00:04:35.790 --> 00:04:39.030 Economy. - Europol has taken down what is suspected to be 00:04:39.030 --> 00:04:42.460 the largest illegal marketplace on the dark web, 00:04:42.460 --> 00:04:46.960 with the arrest of its operator in Germany. Bit of advice for those building its successor. 00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:50.150 Maybe don't call it something like, DarkMarket. 00:04:50.150 --> 00:04:53.874 Kind of draws attention. Evil shop, secret drug market. 00:04:53.874 --> 00:04:56.153 - [Guy] The bad place. - Yeah, Body Parts R Us. 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 00:05:02.740 --> 00:05:07.400 has enlisted Ubisoft's massive studio to make an open world "Star Wars" game. 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. 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:15.220 Plus we already have that. It's called "The Mandalorian." 00:05:15.220 --> 00:05:18.900 But whatever. "Hogwarts Legacy" has been delayed to 2022. 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. 00:05:22.750 --> 00:05:25.780 And CD Projekt Red has published a video admitting 00:05:25.780 --> 00:05:31.920 to its mistakes developing "Cyberpunk 2077" and making a commitment to quality going forward. 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.980 Hey, that's awesome. Whoa, time to end this one, guys. 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. 00:05:40.681 --> 00:05:41.561 - [Guy] Aww!
