1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,720
oh you know guys i kind of came down with a bit of a

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,000
fever today how do you act a fever

3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:14,880
you know it doesn't matter because the cure is tech news and the all-new TechLinked

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,960
hat wow you look hip

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:24,160
google has dropped a fat load of cash on fitbit and by dropped a fat load of cash

6
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:28,240
on i mean of course bought yes the tech giant has acquired the fitness wearable

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:33,440
maker for 2.1 billion dollars setting a great example

8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:37,520
for kids everywhere oh your classmate arnold is getting better grades than you

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:40,640
in your wearables class buy him

10
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:44,320
facebook was apparently also in the running to make the purchase but they

11
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:49,360
were offering about half of what google was that probably made the decision a

12
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:53,600
little easier now that fitbit is part of the google combine we may actually see

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:56,239
some wearables that have a chance at taking on the apple watch with its you

14
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:01,520
know life-saving electrocardiogram or

15
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:06,080
whatever we also might see google collect

16
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:09,280
fitbit's user data so that's neat

17
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:14,000
the us department of the interior has grounded its fleet of around 800 drones

18
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,680
used for monitoring endangered species and inspecting federal reserve land

19
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:23,520
because they suddenly realized that they were made by dji a chinese company

20
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:27,200
that's only partially a joke though homeland security did express

21
00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:32,640
concern about the use of dji drones in 2017 saying the company was collecting

22
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:37,200
and exploiting sensitive us data the aircrafts have been in use for years

23
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:42,240
without apparent issues for their part dji says that they worked with the doi

24
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,320
for 15 months to develop drone solutions that met the department's needs and that

25
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:50,079
the government of china has never asked the company for data but it doesn't look

26
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:55,759
like there's going to be a quick resolution for the situation in sight because this is only the latest example

27
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:59,439
of the us government cracking down on cooperation with chinese companies

28
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:02,880
regardless of what they say about whether or not their government is

29
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:07,200
asking them for data hopefully we can avoid situations like

30
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:11,200
these by you know hitting the google before buying 800 of

31
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,680
anything next time where did you get that hat

32
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,480
uber is facing scrutiny over the way it handled a massive data breach that the

33
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:24,239
company suffered in 2016. state prosecutors investigating the case say

34
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:28,400
that when uber was made aware of the hack it paid the hackers a hundred

35
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:34,560
thousand dollars to delete the stolen user data then uber tracked down two of

36
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:40,160
the three hackers involved met them in person but then did not turn them over

37
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:44,959
to police company representatives apparently had the hackers sign a

38
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:49,920
non-disclosure agreement promising not to reveal the details of the

39
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:54,800
arrangement and at this point you gotta kind of ask like

40
00:02:52,239 --> 00:03:00,160
getting criminals to sign a legally binding document preventing them from

41
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,640
incriminating themselves

42
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,840
what even what even is that like if that if the hackers broke the non-disclosure

43
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:10,080
agreement what's uber going to do like

44
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:14,879
sue them anyways these details came out when uber

45
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:19,599
finally publicly reported the hack in 2018 and those two hackers have just

46
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:24,319
been arrested and have pleaded guilty to their crimes it remains unclear whether

47
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:28,400
this means that uber can also sue them for breach of contract but um

48
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:33,680
i mean hey maybe that would be a solution to all the money they keep losing hey now's time for the big quits

49
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:38,319
brought to you by drop and the sennheiser pc37x gaming headset its

50
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:43,280
angled drivers are from the same family as the well-known hd598 and hd600

51
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:46,959
headphones so you can expect fantastic sound quality and they feature an open

52
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:51,440
backed design with a noise canceling microphone for great stereo imaging and

53
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:57,360
locational accuracy join the drop today at the link in the video description

54
00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:02,480
there's always time for bic quits always i never actually quit

55

more images have leaked of motorola's upcoming foldable razer phone showing

56
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:11,200
more angles of what looks like an impossibly thin device with a much

57
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:14,959
sharper crease than the samsung galaxy fold there's also what looks like a

58
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:19,359
fingerprint sensor and a front-facing camera that you can use even while the

59
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:23,280
phone is folded but will we still be able to use it as a ninja star

60
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:27,680
only time will tell remember that commercial you're doing it peter

61

mr beast and mark rober has passed the halfway mark with 11 million seven

64
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:46,720
hundred thousand trees primed to be planted at the time of filming today so

65
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:51,520

express storage drive that can reach sequential read and write speeds of 15

71
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:16,880
gigabytes per second that amazing speed is achieved using pci

72
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:25,039
express gen 4 which is only currently available on AMD x570 motherboards with

73
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:27,199
