WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.240
i didn't even do my hair i just put water on it

00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:10.960
it's called a wet look ah i love it it's happening again people the dogecoin

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:15.360
cryptocurrency was already enjoying a little spiky spike earlier this week its

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:21.520
value uh per coin went from 7 cents to 15 cents but then who else but elon musk

00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:23.920
tweeted doge barking at the moon which

00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:27.359
contributed to a huge spike to over 40 cents its value has fallen back a bit

00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:31.679
since then but the spike did place dogecoin in the world's top 10 most

00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:35.120
valuable cryptocurrencies something that the humble meme lords behind the coin

00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:39.360
probably never imagined i'm sure they mattered they fantasized

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:42.719
but this is apparently the way that our economic system works now space

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:48.239
billionaire tweets meme that people become millionaires and you know what we

00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:49.360
are all happy who's not happy

00:00:48.239 --> 00:00:53.120
you can't manipulate a market that's unregulated

00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:57.280
and it looks like these beam stock frenzies may have a lasting impact

00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:01.680
gamestop is still sitting way above where it was last year

00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:05.760
even if their stock price didn't make it quite all the way to the moon but you

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:09.439
know we've got dogecoin and diamond hands together

00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:13.680
now we just need to sell elon must tweet as an nft

00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:17.360
google has launched a trial of the tech giant's supposed replacement for

00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:21.840
third-party cookies which he calls federated learning of cohorts or flock

00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:26.080
did they make that up i thought it was an open source thing well could be both

00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:30.000
the new system will automatically opt in chrome users who haven't chosen to block

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:33.680
third-party cookies and while flock has some features that seem desirable like

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:38.079
better privacy protection almost every other web company that could support

00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:42.240
google's initiative isn't brave vivaldi opera mozilla and microsoft have all

00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:46.000
either said they're not going to use flock or that it's just a bad idea

00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:51.200
duckduckgo the privacy-focused search engine actually made a browser extension

00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:56.240
to block flock get the flock out and the electronic frontier federation

00:01:53.600 --> 00:02:00.320
made a website called am i flocked so users can check whether they've been

00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:03.520
made a guinea pig in google's ad tech experiment birds of a feather flock

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.360
together the root of the opposition seems to center on the belief that flock

00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:10.879
may actually be worse at privacy protection and will simply let google

00:02:09.119 --> 00:02:14.720
consolidate all your behavioral data instead of letting third-party companies

00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:19.120
have it to me it's clear that we might just need to let these cookies cool a

00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:23.200
bit before we take a big bite you know that's the worst burning your tongue on

00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:28.160
a delicious steamy chocolate chip cookie ah get flocked [ __ ] off nmsi is being

00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:32.319
accused of foul play after the company's netherlands division stopped production

00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:36.879
of the gaming x trio model of the rtx 3080 only to start production on the

00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:41.440
more expensive gaming z trio version of the same card causing retailers to

00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:44.879
cancel gaming x trio pre-orders customers reportedly got an email from

00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:48.959
dutch retailer alternate claiming the MSI that MSI's actions made it

00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:53.360
impossible to fill their pre-orders which would be refunded if they were

00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:57.200
prepaid details still seem a bit murky but this wouldn't be the first time that

00:02:54.720 --> 00:03:01.599
MSI gotten hot water over GPU price shenanigans back in october MSI's

00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:06.239
subsidiary starlet partner was accused of taking MSI gpus from inventory and

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:09.519
scalping them on ebay for a higher price but MSI said starlet wasn't supposed to

00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:14.159
have access to that inventory in the first place i think the takeaway from

00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:16.959
all this is clear don't pre-order simple i mean

00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:22.000

00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:23.519

00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:49.120
actually has a plan to reinstate the mining limiter on the rtx 3060 graphics

00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:53.360
card after it was hacked to mine ethereum just fine NVIDIA will

00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:56.960
reportedly accomplish this by releasing a new version of the 3060 with a

00:04:55.199 --> 00:05:01.520
different device id which will be incompatible with the leaked beta driver

00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:05.759
that enabled unlimited mining and this time it will definitely be unhackable

00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:09.120
darn it where there's a will there's a won't

00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:12.960

intended for human flight x-wing hopes to retrofit more aircraft with

00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:21.680
self-flying systems which kind of goes against the whole lesson of not relying

00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:23.680
on your targeting computer but okay then

00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:27.039
