1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:08,519
please you must listen to me we don't have much time it's coming oh God it's

2
00:00:06,060 --> 00:00:13,679
almost here here comes the tech news more at 11. Microsoft's proposed

3
00:00:11,580 --> 00:00:18,180
acquisition of Activision Blizzard has been blocked by the British competition

4
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:21,779
markets Authority even though these are all American companies and Britain isn't

5
00:00:20,340 --> 00:00:25,640
supposed to be able to tell them what to do anymore throw Tomb Raider

6
00:00:26,220 --> 00:00:33,780
I think she's UK officials say that the deal would likely reduce Innovation and

7
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:38,579
the choices available to UK Gamers but one of the cma's key arguments involves

8
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:43,200
the potential loss of competition in cloud gaming Microsoft has already

9
00:00:40,620 --> 00:00:47,100
estimated to control between 60 and 70 percent of the current cloud gaming

10
00:00:44,940 --> 00:00:53,280
Market which represents about one percent of the total gaming Market quite

11
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:55,199
popular with a small amount of people an

12
00:00:53,280 --> 00:01:00,360
Activision spokesperson has said they will work aggressively with Microsoft to

13
00:00:57,899 --> 00:01:04,199
appeal the decision and that I guess the UK is clearly closed for business which

14
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:10,979
I believe in the corporate world qualifies as fighting words

15
00:01:08,540 --> 00:01:14,100
they had better watch their language or the head of the UK competition and

16
00:01:12,659 --> 00:01:19,680
markets Authority will have to challenge them to a duel to defend her honor

17
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:25,380
they still they still have some strange Traditions over there

18
00:01:21,180 --> 00:01:27,240
Trinkle tea all the time if Microsoft

19
00:01:25,380 --> 00:01:31,320
does manage to reverse the decision and push through the acquisition they would

20
00:01:29,159 --> 00:01:36,600
then have control of all of Activision's most popular online titles like Call of

21
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:41,579
Duty OverWatch World of Warcraft and Candy Crush still the world leader in

22
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:48,479
dessert themed Bejeweled rip-offs wow you seem salty they're all just free

23
00:01:45,420 --> 00:01:50,520
I've ever advertised is just the jewel

24
00:01:48,479 --> 00:01:57,740
it's just Bejeweled how many jewels do they need AMD has officially announced

25
00:01:52,799 --> 00:02:01,140
the ryzen Z1 and Z1 extreme a pair of

26
00:01:57,740 --> 00:02:03,119
like that a pair a pair of four

27
00:02:01,140 --> 00:02:08,160
nanometer processors that make the Nintendo switch look like it's running a

28
00:02:05,219 --> 00:02:12,180
chip from 2015. we could

29
00:02:09,239 --> 00:02:16,980
because it is less obviously the Z1S are designed to power the next generation of

30
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:22,140
steam deck competitors like the ASUS Rog Ally wait I thought ASUS said the Ally

31
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:26,879
was running a special custom chip like the steam decks but AMD's press release

32
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:32,580
says they're partnering with ASUS to launch the first ryzen Z1 series device

33
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,800
with the ASUS Rog Ally so I guess after

34
00:02:32,580 --> 00:02:39,780
ASUS dropped all those hints that they and AMD were exclusive team red had to

35
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:44,280
set the record straight they're just looking for friends and Casual profits

36
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:49,860
some of these we already knew thanks to leaks indicating that the Z1 extreme is

37
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:51,959
nearly identical to the ryzen 7 7840u

38
00:02:49,860 --> 00:02:56,700
which has been spotted in the specs for several other upcoming handhelds massive

39
00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:00,720
credit to the Fox on YouTube for going deep on the analysis of these chips and

40
00:02:58,739 --> 00:03:04,980
thanks to ASUS for reminding us all to have the relationship talk with our

41
00:03:02,940 --> 00:03:09,660
prospective Partners before making any embarrassing announcements on social

42
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:13,860
media complicated okay they made a chip for us but I thought

43
00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:18,900
there was more and many American schools are dealing with storage rooms full of

44
00:03:16,260 --> 00:03:22,800
broken and outdated Chromebooks which they bought in huge numbers at the start

45
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:27,720
of the pandemic as a cheap alternative to good laptops like MacBooks which they

46
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:32,280
obviously should have spent their massive amounts of State funding on

47
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:37,680
instead what were you doing come on this is in part due to cheap

48
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:43,019
construction but also due to seemingly pointless tweaks to the design of

49
00:03:40,140 --> 00:03:47,220
otherwise basic parts that make sourcing and replacing them difficult and

50
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:51,120
expensive two adjectives Google would very much not like you to associate with

51
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:56,280
Chromebooks typically if a Chromebook has a single broken key the entire

52
00:03:53,760 --> 00:04:01,680
keyboard needs to be replaced at 90 bucks a pop not including labor and I

53
00:03:59,819 --> 00:04:07,620
mean not to State the obvious but if it costs over a hundred dollars to fix a

54
00:04:03,959 --> 00:04:09,299
250 dollar computer it's not a it's not

55
00:04:07,620 --> 00:04:13,500
a fix you dude you're throwing that thing in the garbage that's not that's

56
00:04:11,340 --> 00:04:18,239
some expensive garbage complicating the issue is that on paper Chromebooks have

57
00:04:15,959 --> 00:04:22,860
a relatively generous eight years of guaranteed security updates wow but the

58
00:04:20,340 --> 00:04:27,300
fine print says on that paper that eight years starts when the device is

59
00:04:24,860 --> 00:04:32,040
manufactured and many of these devices were sold to schools three or four years

60
00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:37,020
after that point meaning that they've got an an expiry date baked in they

61
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:41,820
didn't even print the best before date on the device so hopefully schools won't

62
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:48,440
make this same mistake again and instead will future proof their class Hardware

63
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,440
by buying every student a metaquest pro

64
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,820
cure we're gonna learn without legs at all

77
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:47,220
getting dangerously quick it's distorting the space-time Continuum is

78
00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:51,360
this because the flash is coming out hey good news in response to European

79
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:55,620
regulations Apple will likely add support for side loading in an upcoming

80
00:05:53,759 --> 00:06:00,060
iOS 17 update bad news Apple just added a feature to

81
00:05:58,259 --> 00:06:03,720
iOS 16 that allows it to restrict features based on a user's location

82
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:08,400
meaning that side loading might just be a European exclusive

83
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:12,720
according to Apple sideloading will undermine the privacy and security

84
00:06:10,139 --> 00:06:16,740
protections of its users it doesn't seem to have considered that it's my own damn

85
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:21,960
phone and if I want to upload and run 18 identical copies of Bonzi buddy well

86
00:06:19,380 --> 00:06:26,699
that's my own damn business for a fun change of pace Microsoft has

87
00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:30,660
been stealing your private data by accident

88
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:34,080
The Edge browser's new Creator follow feature which is meant to help users

89
00:06:32,460 --> 00:06:39,660
follow their favorite YouTube content creators across the web has a bug that

90
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:42,240
instead sends every site you visit to

91
00:06:39,660 --> 00:06:45,620
Bing the stable AI which will use the data responsibly I'm sure

92
00:06:45,919 --> 00:06:51,900
Sydney wants to know where you've been

93
00:06:49,500 --> 00:06:57,120
fortunately you can turn off the feature all you need to do is type download

94
00:06:53,819 --> 00:06:59,460
Firefox in the search bar that'll do it

95
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:04,020
Netflix is the estimated to have lost over a million users in Spain after its

96
00:07:02,340 --> 00:07:07,800
new anti-password sharing rules were rolled out there in February only around

97
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:12,180
a third of those users were paid subscribers but that still means that

98
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:16,500
account cancellations have tripled around a tenth of remaining Spanish

99
00:07:14,039 --> 00:07:21,300
subscribers claim they plan to cancel in the near future Netflix however has yet

100
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:25,259
to see substantial losses globally and seems undeterred as the new rules are

101
00:07:23,580 --> 00:07:30,300
set to roll out in the U.S over the next few weeks do remember to actually cancel

102
00:07:28,259 --> 00:07:34,680
your account though the only thing worse than paying ten dollars a month to watch

103
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:37,160
Netflix is paying 10 a month not to watch Netflix

104
00:07:38,039 --> 00:07:43,979
news aggregator artifact has a new AI

105
00:07:41,220 --> 00:07:49,860
feature that summarizes news articles in a variety of fun tones like explain like

106
00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:51,900
I'm five emoji and poem

107
00:07:49,860 --> 00:07:56,340

108
00:07:53,940 --> 00:08:00,539
on live a little find out about the next crippling Financial collapse in Limerick

109
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:06,440
format looking forward to the next time a monarch dies and it gets announced in

110
00:08:02,580 --> 00:08:06,440
emojis okay here we go

111
00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:13,139
no of course there is still that little

112
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:16,919
issue where llms will occasionally just make stuff up for no reason making this

113
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:20,940
the high-tech equivalent of getting your news by asking a compulsive liar to

114
00:08:19,259 --> 00:08:26,460
explain world events via Pictionary that's basically what this show is

115
00:08:24,599 --> 00:08:31,680
a machine learning engineer named Santiago is using chat GPT to

116
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:37,140
communicate with their dog robot and give it commands using natural language

117
00:08:33,479 --> 00:08:39,659
okay to be clear Chachi PT is not

118
00:08:37,140 --> 00:08:44,219
actually controlling the dog bot rather which is great news

119
00:08:42,180 --> 00:08:49,820
rather it's being used to query otherwise difficult to access

120
00:08:45,779 --> 00:08:49,820
information that the roboodle

121
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:58,440
has collected in a simple and intuitive way it also allows voice activation of

122
00:08:56,339 --> 00:09:03,180
certain pre-programmed actions they've even programmed in some physical emotes

123
00:09:00,540 --> 00:09:07,920
that allow the mecca K9 to briefly step out of the uncanny valley and look

124
00:09:05,339 --> 00:09:12,899
almost cute almost still a fair amount of terrifying

125
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:18,120
and if you weren't too unsettled come back on Wednesday for more Tech news

126
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:20,519
your host will be a real cutie

127
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:23,880
cuter than a headless Robo dog in any case

128
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:27,240
I don't know who's gonna host for the next one

129
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:31,760
I mean yeah we can say they're cute Friday Friday I said man Friday
