00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,720
what who when where why how these are

2
00:00:03,639 --> 00:00:11,200
the questions we answer here on TechLink because as far as we're aware there's no

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:13,719
more question words unless you count HST

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:19,039
Windows 11 users who use a third-party app to make Windows 11 less bad may have

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:24,240
trouble updating their operating system users of start all back a thirdparty

6
00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:29,199
tool that adds back elements of the Windows 7 and 10 UI and functionality

7
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:34,440
are being blocked from installing the newest preview build of Windows 11 due

8
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:36,760
to security or performance issues this

9
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:40,559
is significant since this preview build is allegedly the release to

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:46,520
manufacturing version of the major upcoming 2 for H2 update for Windows 11

11
00:00:43,879 --> 00:00:51,520
but the supposed security issues must not concern Microsoft too much since the

12
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:58,160
problem has an easy workaround simply uninstall start all back upgrade Windows

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,199
then rename start all back's exe file to

14
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:06,680
literally anything that doesn't contain start all back before reinstalling it

17
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:18,360
Explorer Patcher is having the same issue with the exact same workaround as

18
00:01:15,759 --> 00:01:24,040
for why Microsoft is doing this Windows development MVP Raphael Rivera tweeted

19
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:29,600
that the company is probably blocking unreliable High crash rate software that

20
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:33,640
is extremely sensitive to OS changes person personally I would be more

21
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,880
open-minded to Rivera's point if Windows wasn't being fooled by the world's

22
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:41,040
laziest fake ID didn't even have to print it out or

23
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:45,040
anything to be fair it's not like these are the only apps that may block the

24
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:50,560
upgrade according to multiple sources a list of blocked apps even contains

25
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:55,680
programs published by Microsoft itself these days not even Microsoft trusts

26
00:01:52,880 --> 00:02:00,079
Microsoft Microsoft also doesn't trust you to manually change your default

27
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:05,759
browser by modifying the registry in Windows 10 and 11 this was first noticed

28
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:08,039
by it consultant Kristoff kbit after two

29
00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:13,160
of his programs that let Windows admins alter file associations to change

30
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:19,160
default apps stopped working turns out Windows February update added a driver

31
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,680
ironically called user Choice protection

32
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:28,920
driver that prevents the editing of registry keys for HTTP and https URL

33
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,319
associations as well as the key for PDF file Association we're trying to protect

34
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:37,519
you from your own choices some of you may recognize those

35
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:41,480
as the three things Edge likes to open the most now it's important to note that

36
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:46,000
you can still change your default browser in the plain old Windows

37
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:51,480
settings which may explain why colit thinks this is a response by Microsoft

38
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:53,959
to the EU digital markets act by adding

39
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:59,440
this driver Windows 10 and 11 can't override default browser policies for

40
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:04,640
PCS in the European economic area but the new driver is also present on

41
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:09,760
Windows machines in the US presumably so we can get a little taste of what life

42
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:12,920
is like over there they fancy fancy

43
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,599
cheese lock down computers long long why

44
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:20,200
their their bread is so long it must be nice Intel 13th and 14th gen chips are

45
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:25,280
reportedly being returned in significant numbers in Korea this has apparently LED

46
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:29,799
team blue to investigate the issues according to ZDNet Korea this all kicked

47
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:33,640
off in the country when Tekken 8 launched more globally however

48
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:38,280
complaints about gaming instability on 13th gen chips go back to 2022 when they

49
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:43,360
first launched but complaints about both 13th and 14th gen processors have become

50
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:47,120
commonplace over the past few months there are multiple reports of crashes

51
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:52,000
from different users playing different games all with the same story during

52
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:56,640
Shader compilation an error claims there's not enough video memory and

53
00:03:54,040 --> 00:04:01,280
their game crashes interestingly all of these reviews and reports claim that the

54
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:06,640
crashing issues start occurring after 1 to 3 months of using Raptor Lake CPUs

55
00:04:05,079 --> 00:04:12,920
now some suggest the issue may be silicon degradation the 13th and 14th

56
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:15,799
gen I9 CPUs are given so much power and

57
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:19,639
get so hot that they basically destroy themselves over time kind of like

58
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:23,800
celebrities and professional athletes it's not even a

59
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:27,720
joke whatever the case is these issues are so prevalent in Korea that an

60
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:32,160
official for one of the three Korean companies that distribute and support

61
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:36,919
Intel chips says more than 10 Raptor Lake chips are being returned daily

62
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:40,160
Intel issued a statement to ZDNet Korea saying they are aware of and

63
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:43,880
investigating these problems so perhaps they'll figure out how to release a

64
00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:48,240
processor that is slightly more stable than Adobe Premiere Pro what did the

65
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:53,720
editor get in the script speaking of stability today's episode is brought to

66
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:55,360
you by SE Sonic their Prime tx1000 watt

67
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:59,880
power supply is a great choice if you're building a high performance system it

68
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:03,960
features an 80 plus titanium rating which means less power gets wasted

69
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:09,199
during power conversion the prime tx1000 is also fully modular and features both

70
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:13,000
hybrid fan control and fluid Dynamic fan bearings to reduce overall fan noise

71
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:17,360
they don't usually let you have both of those Plus on top of that it comes with

72
00:05:14,919 --> 00:05:21,680
a 12year warranty you're going to be gaming into your senior years learn more

75
00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:39,280
would be like if I just kept talking before we even got to the qu Google is

76
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:43,800
finally rolling out the expansion to their find my device Network a year

77
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:47,720
after they initially planned apparently thank goodness it's Apple's fault to

78
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:52,720
prevent stalking Google and apple announced a joint standard for unknown

79
00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:57,720
tracker alerts so Android's Bluetooth tags couldn't be used to stock iPhone

80
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:02,000
users and vice versa while Google took a month to get their Network to detect

81
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:07,080
mysterious air tags Tim Cook and the copertino crew took a year to add their

82
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:11,240
half of the standard to iOS and this is why everyone hates group projects is

83
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:16,560
that like Josie and the Pussycats Google is also testing lookup

84
00:06:14,599 --> 00:06:21,560
a new feature on Pixel phones which will allow users to look up unknown numbers

85
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:25,319
straight from their call log rather than copying the number and pasting it into

86
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:29,000
an external phone number search tool this might seem like just a handy

87
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:33,759
quality of life measure for the average person but it's potentially an extremely

88
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:37,360
useful safety tool for Less techsavvy users who will be able to get more

least one RTX 50 Series GPU by the end

92
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:54,479
of this year according to graphics card manufacturers who spoke to Taiwanese

93
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:59,720
news Outlet United Daily News in a reassuring sign that team green has not

94
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:03,840
in fact forgotten that people once used their products to play games apparently

95
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:08,680
Gamers can anticipate that NVIDIA will save just enough Blackwell chips from

96
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:14,919
the AI accelerator Factory to give us an RTX 590 and maybe even an RTX 580

97
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:18,960
complete with GDDR 7 memory and a heavy survivorship bias Microsoft has

98
00:07:16,879 --> 00:07:24,440
reportedly claimed in internal documents that upcoming Windows AIP PCS with

99
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:31,199
qualcomm's ARM powerered Snapdragon X Elite processors will have faster app

100
00:07:27,599 --> 00:07:33,240
emulation than Rosetta 2 the x86 to ARM

101

translation layer that helped Apple's Intel to M1 transition go smoother than

102
00:07:36,039 --> 00:07:42,280
the smoothest thing in existence a baby's bottom if Microsoft is correct

103
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:47,440
though this Windows transition will go even smoother than a baby's bottom but

104
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:52,919
that's impossible so logically they must be talking out of their baby's bottoms

105
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:55,639
does that make sense said aips will also

106
00:07:52,919 --> 00:07:59,800
reportedly feature an AI Explorer tool that can search for anything you've ever

107
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:04,479
done on your computer and if you get the premium subscription hold it against you

110
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:19,680
users to generate personalized playlists with text prompts the tool will first be

111
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:24,800
available in the UK and Australia where users will be able to generate playlists

112
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:27,360
with real prompt examples like sad music

113
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:31,319
for painting dying flowers and then further refine those playlists with

114
00:08:29,159 --> 00:08:35,719
addition prompts if you're uncomfortable with the thought of AI being everywhere

115
00:08:33,719 --> 00:08:41,479
might I suggest generating playlists with prompts like Indie Bops for when AI

116
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:46,160
takes my job or music to be hunted by Terminators
