00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.720
what who when where why how these are

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

00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:13.719
more question words unless you count HST

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

00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:24.240
trouble updating their operating system users of start all back a thirdparty

00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:29.199
tool that adds back elements of the Windows 7 and 10 UI and functionality

00:00:27.439 --> 00:00:34.440
are being blocked from installing the newest preview build of Windows 11 due

00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:36.760
to security or performance issues this

00:00:34.440 --> 00:00:40.559
is significant since this preview build is allegedly the release to

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:46.520
manufacturing version of the major upcoming 2 for H2 update for Windows 11

00:00:43.879 --> 00:00:51.520
but the supposed security issues must not concern Microsoft too much since the

00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:58.160
problem has an easy workaround simply uninstall start all back upgrade Windows

00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:00.199
then rename start all back's exe file to

00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:06.680
literally anything that doesn't contain start all back before reinstalling it

00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:10.360
right click enter hacking

00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:12.640
mode in fact fellow UI customization app

00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:18.360
Explorer Patcher is having the same issue with the exact same workaround as

00:01:15.759 --> 00:01:24.040
for why Microsoft is doing this Windows development MVP Raphael Rivera tweeted

00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:29.600
that the company is probably blocking unreliable High crash rate software that

00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:33.640
is extremely sensitive to OS changes person personally I would be more

00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:36.880
open-minded to Rivera's point if Windows wasn't being fooled by the world's

00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:41.040
laziest fake ID didn't even have to print it out or

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

00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:50.560
upgrade according to multiple sources a list of blocked apps even contains

00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:55.680
programs published by Microsoft itself these days not even Microsoft trusts

00:01:52.880 --> 00:02:00.079
Microsoft Microsoft also doesn't trust you to manually change your default

00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:05.759
browser by modifying the registry in Windows 10 and 11 this was first noticed

00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:08.039
by it consultant Kristoff kbit after two

00:02:05.759 --> 00:02:13.160
of his programs that let Windows admins alter file associations to change

00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:19.160
default apps stopped working turns out Windows February update added a driver

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:21.680
ironically called user Choice protection

00:02:19.160 --> 00:02:28.920
driver that prevents the editing of registry keys for HTTP and https URL

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:32.319
associations as well as the key for PDF file Association we're trying to protect

00:02:30.959 --> 00:02:37.519
you from your own choices some of you may recognize those

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

00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:46.000
you can still change your default browser in the plain old Windows

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:51.480
settings which may explain why colit thinks this is a response by Microsoft

00:02:48.239 --> 00:02:53.959
to the EU digital markets act by adding

00:02:51.480 --> 00:02:59.440
this driver Windows 10 and 11 can't override default browser policies for

00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:04.640
PCS in the European economic area but the new driver is also present on

00:03:01.720 --> 00:03:09.760
Windows machines in the US presumably so we can get a little taste of what life

00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:12.920
is like over there they fancy fancy

00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:14.599
cheese lock down computers long long why

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

00:03:18.040 --> 00:03:25.280
reportedly being returned in significant numbers in Korea this has apparently LED

00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:29.799
team blue to investigate the issues according to ZDNet Korea this all kicked

00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:33.640
off in the country when Tekken 8 launched more globally however

00:03:31.720 --> 00:03:38.280
complaints about gaming instability on 13th gen chips go back to 2022 when they

00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:43.360
first launched but complaints about both 13th and 14th gen processors have become

00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:47.120
commonplace over the past few months there are multiple reports of crashes

00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:52.000
from different users playing different games all with the same story during

00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:56.640
Shader compilation an error claims there's not enough video memory and

00:03:54.040 --> 00:04:01.280
their game crashes interestingly all of these reviews and reports claim that the

00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:06.640
crashing issues start occurring after 1 to 3 months of using Raptor Lake CPUs

00:04:05.079 --> 00:04:12.920
now some suggest the issue may be silicon degradation the 13th and 14th

00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:15.799
gen I9 CPUs are given so much power and

00:04:12.920 --> 00:04:19.639
get so hot that they basically destroy themselves over time kind of like

00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:23.800
celebrities and professional athletes it's not even a

00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:27.720
joke whatever the case is these issues are so prevalent in Korea that an

00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:32.160
official for one of the three Korean companies that distribute and support

00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:36.919
Intel chips says more than 10 Raptor Lake chips are being returned daily

00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:40.160
Intel issued a statement to ZDNet Korea saying they are aware of and

00:04:38.440 --> 00:04:43.880
investigating these problems so perhaps they'll figure out how to release a

00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:48.240
processor that is slightly more stable than Adobe Premiere Pro what did the

00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:53.720
editor get in the script speaking of stability today's episode is brought to

00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:55.360
you by SE Sonic their Prime tx1000 watt

00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:59.880
power supply is a great choice if you're building a high performance system it

00:04:57.280 --> 00:05:03.960
features an 80 plus titanium rating which means less power gets wasted

00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:09.199
during power conversion the prime tx1000 is also fully modular and features both

00:05:06.320 --> 00:05:13.000
hybrid fan control and fluid Dynamic fan bearings to reduce overall fan noise

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

00:05:14.919 --> 00:05:21.680
a 12year warranty you're going to be gaming into your senior years learn more

cic.gc.ca uction to reflect their brevity I mean can you imagine what it

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

00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:43.800
finally rolling out the expansion to their find my device Network a year

00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:47.720
after they initially planned apparently thank goodness it's Apple's fault to

00:05:45.880 --> 00:05:52.720
prevent stalking Google and apple announced a joint standard for unknown

00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:57.720
tracker alerts so Android's Bluetooth tags couldn't be used to stock iPhone

00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:02.000
users and vice versa while Google took a month to get their Network to detect

00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:07.080
mysterious air tags Tim Cook and the copertino crew took a year to add their

00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:11.240
half of the standard to iOS and this is why everyone hates group projects is

00:06:09.080 --> 00:06:16.560
that like Josie and the Pussycats Google is also testing lookup

00:06:14.599 --> 00:06:21.560
a new feature on Pixel phones which will allow users to look up unknown numbers

00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:25.319
straight from their call log rather than copying the number and pasting it into

00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:29.000
an external phone number search tool this might seem like just a handy

00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:33.759
quality of life measure for the average person but it's potentially an extremely

00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:37.360
useful safety tool for Less techsavvy users who will be able to get more

00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:41.919
information with the click of a button before they continue talking to their

00:06:39.080 --> 00:06:48.080
new friend spam likely NVIDIA is expected to launch at

00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:50.000
least one RTX 50 Series GPU by the end

00:06:48.080 --> 00:06:54.479
of this year according to graphics card manufacturers who spoke to Taiwanese

00:06:51.880 --> 00:06:59.720
news Outlet United Daily News in a reassuring sign that team green has not

00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:03.840
in fact forgotten that people once used their products to play games apparently

00:07:01.840 --> 00:07:08.680
Gamers can anticipate that NVIDIA will save just enough Blackwell chips from

00:07:06.080 --> 00:07:14.919
the AI accelerator Factory to give us an RTX 590 and maybe even an RTX 580

00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:18.960
complete with GDDR 7 memory and a heavy survivorship bias Microsoft has

00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:24.440
reportedly claimed in internal documents that upcoming Windows AIP PCS with

00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:31.199
qualcomm's ARM powerered Snapdragon X Elite processors will have faster app

00:07:27.599 --> 00:07:33.240
emulation than Rosetta 2 the x86 to ARM

00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:38.000
translation layer that helped Apple's Intel to M1 transition go smoother than

00:07:36.039 --> 00:07:42.280
the smoothest thing in existence a baby's bottom if Microsoft is correct

00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:47.440
though this Windows transition will go even smoother than a baby's bottom but

00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:52.919
that's impossible so logically they must be talking out of their baby's bottoms

00:07:49.400 --> 00:07:55.639
does that make sense said aips will also

00:07:52.919 --> 00:07:59.800
reportedly feature an AI Explorer tool that can search for anything you've ever

00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:04.479
done on your computer and if you get the premium subscription hold it against you

00:08:01.919 --> 00:08:09.360
it weighs your browser history on a on a scale against a

00:08:06.520 --> 00:08:14.840
feather and Spotify launched a beta version of AI playlist allowing premium

00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:19.680
users to generate personalized playlists with text prompts the tool will first be

00:08:17.400 --> 00:08:24.800
available in the UK and Australia where users will be able to generate playlists

00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:27.360
with real prompt examples like sad music

00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:31.319
for painting dying flowers and then further refine those playlists with

00:08:29.159 --> 00:08:35.719
addition prompts if you're uncomfortable with the thought of AI being everywhere

00:08:33.719 --> 00:08:41.479
might I suggest generating playlists with prompts like Indie Bops for when AI

00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:46.160
takes my job or music to be hunted by Terminators

00:08:42.959 --> 00:08:49.399
to It's A vibe and if you're hunting for

00:08:46.160 --> 00:08:50.959
more Tech news just stop okay just just

00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:57.320
come back on Wednesday and we'll have it ready for you so I don't know why

00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:57.320
you're why do we do this
