WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.680
there are only two things i'm afraid of one

00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:09.120
goombas from super mario what are they are they sentient am i a murderer and

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:13.440
the other not having the tech news ooh owners of

00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:18.880
AMD 500 series motherboards are reporting that usb devices are randomly

00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:20.560
disconnecting on both x570 and b550

00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:24.480
based motherboards these boards have been around since 2019 but it looks like

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:28.320
the issue started popping up when the ryzen 5000 series cpus came to market

00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:34.239
although some boards with older processors seem to be experiencing the problem as well as if trying to plug in

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:37.920
a usb after flipping it one way and then the other 10 times isn't annoying enough

00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:41.840
it's another thing to add to my afraid of list i guess AMD claims that the bug

00:00:40.239 --> 00:00:45.520
is only affecting a small number of users and has reached out to people on

00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:48.719
reddit to better understand and isolate the problem in the meantime some

00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:53.520
affected users are reporting that setting your pci express mode to 3.0

00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:56.480
instead of auto fix the problem so try that work around if you don't need the

00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:00.160
maximum bandwidth for moving around tons of high-res pictures of Linus and LTT

00:00:58.239 --> 00:01:03.280
store-branded boxer briefs you're on to me

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:07.840
if you do do that we understand who needs usb ports anyway you know in

00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:11.200
other ryzen 5000 CPU news supply is relatively tight but one way you might

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:16.080
be able to get your hands on one for a bit cheaper than expected is to order a

00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:21.439
pre-built pc yeah it looks like dell is offering pcs with a ryzen 7 5800 non-x

00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:25.680
so you'll still get 8 cores and 16 threads but the chip has just a bit less

00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:29.600
power than what the x version could go and give it to you at the time of this

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:33.360
writing the pc in question is the alienware aurora r10 and is only

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:39.040
available in canada wait we got something first yes other than winter

00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:43.600
apparently this hasn't happened since we invented hockey john claims we invented

00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:48.880
basketball that yeah wait a second anyway the non-x system

00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:52.880
saves you a whole 150 canadian rubles off the x edition hopefully an oem is

00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:56.799
largest dell starting to sell additional skus means that we'll have more supply

00:01:54.880 --> 00:02:00.399
in the near future realistically though that's not what that means at all dell

00:01:58.880 --> 00:02:05.520
is a scalper basically oh so you want this chip hey why don't

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:09.360
you buy a whole pc with the ins there's a weird bit of malware out there

00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:14.879
that's running on around 30 000 mac computers in 153 countries but no one

00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:18.480
really seems to know what it does apparently the malware called

00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:22.080
silversparrow checks in with a command server every

00:02:20.239 --> 00:02:25.840
hour to see what it's supposed to do but there have been no reports of the

00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:29.360
malware actually harming systems yet it's just so mac people know they're

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:33.040
vulnerable i'm sending a message this thing could

00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:37.760
be bad but i'm also getting like batman vibes the mysterious vigilante runs on

00:02:35.519 --> 00:02:41.599
both the new m1 chips and Intel-based macs and apple has already deployed

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.280
measures to contain the virus including revoking certificates of certain dev

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:50.239
accounts that signed off on the packages that contain the malware however silver

00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:55.680
sparrow could remain a threat as it uses well-built cdn's like akamai and aws we

00:02:53.760 --> 00:03:00.160
also don't know its secret identity or if had as it has a sidekick dressed in

00:02:57.760 --> 00:03:04.319
extremely bright colors and no pants this is exactly like skynet actually

00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:07.920
they no pants skynet doesn't wear pants now

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:12.319

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:50.959
i knew it was you comcast is backing down after heavy backlash from customers

00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:55.040
and legislators over a planned 1.2 terabyte data cap in the northeastern

00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:59.760
u.s the company has taken a cue from facebook's recent whatsapp debacle and

00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:03.200
is simply delaying the data caps rollout forget about it i'll come back later i

00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:07.519
don't know what that voice was however customers in

00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:11.040
27 other states still have to deal with said data caps so remember to vote with

00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:15.360
your wallet if you're affected if you're lucky enough to even have another isp to

00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:20.160
switch to because the internet isn't a utility come on it's a luxury product

00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:23.919
guys come on apple finally beat out one of its major

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:27.440
Android rivals samsung you might have heard of them by a wide margin in the

00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:33.919
final quarter of last year selling nearly 80 million iphones against

00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:35.680
samsung's 62 million samsung phones

00:04:33.919 --> 00:04:39.360
it's the first time since 2016 that apple beat samsung head to head although

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:43.360
the report this data came from also shows that basically no one bought the

00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:48.560
iphone 12 mini and now john wrote a joke about size not mattering uh

00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:52.960
