WEBVTT

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

00:00:06.060 --> 00:00:13.679
almost here here comes the tech news more at 11. Microsoft's proposed

00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:18.180
acquisition of Activision Blizzard has been blocked by the British competition

00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:21.779
markets Authority even though these are all American companies and Britain isn't

00:00:20.340 --> 00:00:25.640
supposed to be able to tell them what to do anymore throw Tomb Raider

00:00:26.220 --> 00:00:33.780
I think she's UK officials say that the deal would likely reduce Innovation and

00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:38.579
the choices available to UK Gamers but one of the cma's key arguments involves

00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:43.200
the potential loss of competition in cloud gaming Microsoft has already

00:00:40.620 --> 00:00:47.100
estimated to control between 60 and 70 percent of the current cloud gaming

00:00:44.940 --> 00:00:53.280
Market which represents about one percent of the total gaming Market quite

00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:55.199
popular with a small amount of people an

00:00:53.280 --> 00:01:00.360
Activision spokesperson has said they will work aggressively with Microsoft to

00:00:57.899 --> 00:01:04.199
appeal the decision and that I guess the UK is clearly closed for business which

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:10.979
I believe in the corporate world qualifies as fighting words

00:01:08.540 --> 00:01:14.100
they had better watch their language or the head of the UK competition and

00:01:12.659 --> 00:01:19.680
markets Authority will have to challenge them to a duel to defend her honor

00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:25.380
they still they still have some strange Traditions over there

00:01:21.180 --> 00:01:27.240
Trinkle tea all the time if Microsoft

00:01:25.380 --> 00:01:31.320
does manage to reverse the decision and push through the acquisition they would

00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:36.600
then have control of all of Activision's most popular online titles like Call of

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:41.579
Duty OverWatch World of Warcraft and Candy Crush still the world leader in

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:48.479
dessert themed Bejeweled rip-offs wow you seem salty they're all just free

00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:50.520
I've ever advertised is just the jewel

00:01:48.479 --> 00:01:57.740
it's just Bejeweled how many jewels do they need AMD has officially announced

00:01:52.799 --> 00:02:01.140
the ryzen Z1 and Z1 extreme a pair of

00:01:57.740 --> 00:02:03.119
like that a pair a pair of four

00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:08.160
nanometer processors that make the Nintendo switch look like it's running a

00:02:05.219 --> 00:02:12.180
chip from 2015. we could

00:02:09.239 --> 00:02:16.980
because it is less obviously the Z1S are designed to power the next generation of

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:22.140
steam deck competitors like the ASUS Rog Ally wait I thought ASUS said the Ally

00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:26.879
was running a special custom chip like the steam decks but AMD's press release

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:32.580
says they're partnering with ASUS to launch the first ryzen Z1 series device

00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:34.800
with the ASUS Rog Ally so I guess after

00:02:32.580 --> 00:02:39.780
ASUS dropped all those hints that they and AMD were exclusive team red had to

00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:44.280
set the record straight they're just looking for friends and Casual profits

00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:49.860
some of these we already knew thanks to leaks indicating that the Z1 extreme is

00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:51.959
nearly identical to the ryzen 7 7840u

00:02:49.860 --> 00:02:56.700
which has been spotted in the specs for several other upcoming handhelds massive

00:02:54.840 --> 00:03:00.720
credit to the Fox on YouTube for going deep on the analysis of these chips and

00:02:58.739 --> 00:03:04.980
thanks to ASUS for reminding us all to have the relationship talk with our

00:03:02.940 --> 00:03:09.660
prospective Partners before making any embarrassing announcements on social

00:03:06.720 --> 00:03:13.860
media complicated okay they made a chip for us but I thought

00:03:11.519 --> 00:03:18.900
there was more and many American schools are dealing with storage rooms full of

00:03:16.260 --> 00:03:22.800
broken and outdated Chromebooks which they bought in huge numbers at the start

00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:27.720
of the pandemic as a cheap alternative to good laptops like MacBooks which they

00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:32.280
obviously should have spent their massive amounts of State funding on

00:03:29.640 --> 00:03:37.680
instead what were you doing come on this is in part due to cheap

00:03:35.340 --> 00:03:43.019
construction but also due to seemingly pointless tweaks to the design of

00:03:40.140 --> 00:03:47.220
otherwise basic parts that make sourcing and replacing them difficult and

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:51.120
expensive two adjectives Google would very much not like you to associate with

00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:56.280
Chromebooks typically if a Chromebook has a single broken key the entire

00:03:53.760 --> 00:04:01.680
keyboard needs to be replaced at 90 bucks a pop not including labor and I

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

00:04:03.959 --> 00:04:09.299
250 dollar computer it's not a it's not

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

00:04:11.340 --> 00:04:18.239
some expensive garbage complicating the issue is that on paper Chromebooks have

00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:22.860
a relatively generous eight years of guaranteed security updates wow but the

00:04:20.340 --> 00:04:27.300
fine print says on that paper that eight years starts when the device is

00:04:24.860 --> 00:04:32.040
manufactured and many of these devices were sold to schools three or four years

00:04:29.340 --> 00:04:37.020
after that point meaning that they've got an an expiry date baked in they

00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:41.820
didn't even print the best before date on the device so hopefully schools won't

00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:48.440
make this same mistake again and instead will future proof their class Hardware

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:48.440
by buying every student a metaquest pro

00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:53.820

getting dangerously quick it's distorting the space-time Continuum is

00:05:45.300 --> 00:05:51.360
this because the flash is coming out hey good news in response to European

00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:55.620
regulations Apple will likely add support for side loading in an upcoming

00:05:53.759 --> 00:06:00.060
iOS 17 update bad news Apple just added a feature to

00:05:58.259 --> 00:06:03.720
iOS 16 that allows it to restrict features based on a user's location

00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:08.400
meaning that side loading might just be a European exclusive

00:06:05.960 --> 00:06:12.720
according to Apple sideloading will undermine the privacy and security

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

00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:21.960
phone and if I want to upload and run 18 identical copies of Bonzi buddy well

00:06:19.380 --> 00:06:26.699
that's my own damn business for a fun change of pace Microsoft has

00:06:24.479 --> 00:06:30.660
been stealing your private data by accident

00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:34.080
The Edge browser's new Creator follow feature which is meant to help users

00:06:32.460 --> 00:06:39.660
follow their favorite YouTube content creators across the web has a bug that

00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:42.240
instead sends every site you visit to

00:06:39.660 --> 00:06:45.620
Bing the stable AI which will use the data responsibly I'm sure

00:06:45.919 --> 00:06:51.900
Sydney wants to know where you've been

00:06:49.500 --> 00:06:57.120
fortunately you can turn off the feature all you need to do is type download

00:06:53.819 --> 00:06:59.460
Firefox in the search bar that'll do it

00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:04.020
Netflix is the estimated to have lost over a million users in Spain after its

00:07:02.340 --> 00:07:07.800
new anti-password sharing rules were rolled out there in February only around

00:07:06.300 --> 00:07:12.180
a third of those users were paid subscribers but that still means that

00:07:10.080 --> 00:07:16.500
account cancellations have tripled around a tenth of remaining Spanish

00:07:14.039 --> 00:07:21.300
subscribers claim they plan to cancel in the near future Netflix however has yet

00:07:19.080 --> 00:07:25.259
to see substantial losses globally and seems undeterred as the new rules are

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

00:07:28.259 --> 00:07:34.680
your account though the only thing worse than paying ten dollars a month to watch

00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:37.160
Netflix is paying 10 a month not to watch Netflix

00:07:38.039 --> 00:07:43.979
news aggregator artifact has a new AI

00:07:41.220 --> 00:07:49.860

emojis okay here we go

00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:13.139
no of course there is still that little

00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:16.919
issue where llms will occasionally just make stuff up for no reason making this

00:08:15.300 --> 00:08:20.940
the high-tech equivalent of getting your news by asking a compulsive liar to

00:08:19.259 --> 00:08:26.460
explain world events via Pictionary that's basically what this show is

00:08:24.599 --> 00:08:31.680
a machine learning engineer named Santiago is using chat GPT to

00:08:29.400 --> 00:08:37.140
communicate with their dog robot and give it commands using natural language

00:08:33.479 --> 00:08:39.659
okay to be clear Chachi PT is not

00:08:37.140 --> 00:08:44.219
actually controlling the dog bot rather which is great news

00:08:42.180 --> 00:08:49.820
rather it's being used to query otherwise difficult to access

00:08:45.779 --> 00:08:49.820
information that the roboodle

00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:58.440
has collected in a simple and intuitive way it also allows voice activation of

00:08:56.339 --> 00:09:03.180
certain pre-programmed actions they've even programmed in some physical emotes

00:09:00.540 --> 00:09:07.920
that allow the mecca K9 to briefly step out of the uncanny valley and look

00:09:05.339 --> 00:09:12.899
almost cute almost still a fair amount of terrifying

00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:18.120
and if you weren't too unsettled come back on Wednesday for more Tech news

00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:20.519
your host will be a real cutie

00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:23.880
cuter than a headless Robo dog in any case

00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:27.240
I don't know who's gonna host for the next one

00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:31.760
I mean yeah we can say they're cute Friday Friday I said man Friday
