00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:06.720
oh you know guys i kind of came down with a bit of a

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:10.000
fever today how do you act a fever

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

00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:18.960
hat wow you look hip

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

00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:28.240
on i mean of course bought yes the tech giant has acquired the fitness wearable

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:33.440
maker for 2.1 billion dollars setting a great example

00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:37.520
for kids everywhere oh your classmate arnold is getting better grades than you

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:40.640
in your wearables class buy him

00:00:38.879 --> 00:00:44.320
facebook was apparently also in the running to make the purchase but they

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:49.360
were offering about half of what google was that probably made the decision a

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:53.600
little easier now that fitbit is part of the google combine we may actually see

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:56.239
some wearables that have a chance at taking on the apple watch with its you

00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:01.520
know life-saving electrocardiogram or

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:06.080
whatever we also might see google collect

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:09.280
fitbit's user data so that's neat

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:14.000
the us department of the interior has grounded its fleet of around 800 drones

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:17.680
used for monitoring endangered species and inspecting federal reserve land

00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:23.520
because they suddenly realized that they were made by dji a chinese company

00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:27.200
that's only partially a joke though homeland security did express

00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:32.640
concern about the use of dji drones in 2017 saying the company was collecting

00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:37.200
and exploiting sensitive us data the aircrafts have been in use for years

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:42.240
without apparent issues for their part dji says that they worked with the doi

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:46.320
for 15 months to develop drone solutions that met the department's needs and that

00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:50.079
the government of china has never asked the company for data but it doesn't look

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

00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:59.439
of the us government cracking down on cooperation with chinese companies

00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:02.880
regardless of what they say about whether or not their government is

00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:07.200
asking them for data hopefully we can avoid situations like

00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:11.200
these by you know hitting the google before buying 800 of

00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:13.680
anything next time where did you get that hat

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:20.480
uber is facing scrutiny over the way it handled a massive data breach that the

00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:24.239
company suffered in 2016. state prosecutors investigating the case say

00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:28.400
that when uber was made aware of the hack it paid the hackers a hundred

00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:34.560
thousand dollars to delete the stolen user data then uber tracked down two of

00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:40.160
the three hackers involved met them in person but then did not turn them over

00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:44.959
to police company representatives apparently had the hackers sign a

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:49.920
non-disclosure agreement promising not to reveal the details of the

00:02:47.519 --> 00:02:54.800
arrangement and at this point you gotta kind of ask like

00:02:52.239 --> 00:03:00.160
getting criminals to sign a legally binding document preventing them from

00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:02.640
incriminating themselves

00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:05.840
what even what even is that like if that if the hackers broke the non-disclosure

00:03:04.959 --> 00:03:10.080
agreement what's uber going to do like

00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:14.879
sue them anyways these details came out when uber

00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:19.599
finally publicly reported the hack in 2018 and those two hackers have just

00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:24.319
been arrested and have pleaded guilty to their crimes it remains unclear whether

00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:28.400
this means that uber can also sue them for breach of contract but um

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

00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:38.319

00:03:45.200 --> 00:03:51.440
backed design with a noise canceling microphone for great stereo imaging and

00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:57.360
locational accuracy join the drop today at the link in the video description

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

00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:11.200
more angles of what looks like an impossibly thin device with a much

00:04:09.200 --> 00:04:14.959
sharper crease than the samsung galaxy fold there's also what looks like a

00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:19.359
fingerprint sensor and a front-facing camera that you can use even while the

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:23.280
phone is folded but will we still be able to use it as a ninja star

00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:27.680
only time will tell remember that commercial you're doing it peter

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:31.919

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

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:46.720
hundred thousand trees primed to be planted at the time of filming today so

go for it plant a tree it's just a dollar

00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:58.080

00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:02.360
i love trees except when i kill them here's some tech

00:05:00.080 --> 00:05:07.840

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

00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:16.880
gigabytes per second that amazing speed is achieved using pci

00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:25.039
express gen 4 which is only currently available on AMD x570 motherboards with

00:05:19.520 --> 00:05:27.199
