--> 00:00:16,440 body in it every day you know just whatever can you believe like lonus just 4 00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:19,039 pays like Apple's Vision Pro reviews are 5 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:23,199 out right now from those apple deemed worthy the consensus on the device seems 6 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:28,840 to be that while the future may not be here it's definitely somewhere 7 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:33,399 nearby they can smell it the vision Pros displays are reported ly crisp as a 8 00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:37,760 granny smith and its pass through mode has minimal latency which will hopefully 9 00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:43,600 minimize injury when you decide to live in this thing full time to get your 10 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:46,079 money's worth 3500 at 1.3 lb or roughly 11 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:49,760 the weight of a prehibernation hedgehog it's a relatively heavy headset have you 12 00:00:48,199 --> 00:00:53,320 ever held a hedgehog have you ever strapped one to your face not more than 13 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:57,559 once it's a heavy headset and that's not including the wearable battery the hand 14 00:00:55,719 --> 00:01:02,480 eye control interface is really impressive but perhaps unsurprisingly 15 00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:07,080 its floating intangible keyboard is next to useless despite how it looked in 16 00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:12,200 early demos eyesight the vision Pro's digital representation of the user's 17 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,080 eyes on the external display is deep in 18 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:18,080 The Uncanny Valley and attempting to hold a conversation or host a dinner 19 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:23,439 party with the headset on will earn nothing but your spouse's 20 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:28,840 contempt reviewers are also pointing out that the Vision Pro still lacks any real 21 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,920 killer apps at a time when Apple is not 22 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:35,200 exactly making friends with third party developers through their iOS and app 23 00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:39,360 rule changes in the EU though as much as Apple's wal Garden approach might 24 00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:43,799 alienate potential devs that's got to be part of the appeal for some consumers a 25 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:47,719 polished AR headset that will easily slot into your existing network of 26 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:54,159 accounts and devices just like marrying your high school sweetheart we are meant 27 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:57,000 to be together Barbara Forever Barbara 28 00:01:54,159 --> 00:02:00,799 Barbara Diablo streamer Elon Musk announced on Twitter this week that 29 00:01:58,759 --> 00:02:06,280 neuralink has played placed its first brain computer interface in a human 30 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:11,000 subject it's happened according to musk initial results show promising neuron 31 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:15,080 Spike detection and the patient is recovering well and that's great to hear 32 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:19,319 especially considering who the patients are in these early human trials 33 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:23,599 individuals who are quadriplegic due to spinal cord injuries or ALS it would 34 00:02:21,959 --> 00:02:27,440 usually be nearly impossible for a company to convince Regulators to allow 35 00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:31,760 them to perform experimental non-essential brain surgery on an 36 00:02:29,239 --> 00:02:36,800 otherwise healthy patient however neural Link's first planned implant apparently 37 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,640 called telepathy is intended to allow recipients to communicate directly with 38 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:44,879 a computer which can then decode that message and interpret how the user 39 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:48,840 intends to move which has obvious potential to improve the lives of people 40 00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:53,200 with significant physical limitations similar implants from other firms have 41 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:57,879 already been used to bypass damaged neurons and allow paralyzed patients to 42 00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:02,560 regain some control over their existing limbs on the more sci-fi of things musk 43 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:07,159 likewise said that the implant might also one day allow users to control 44 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:11,720 almost any device just by thinking sounds cool but I personally dread the 45 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:16,640 day when I can accidentally butt dial my mom by way of a particularly Vivid 46 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:21,959 nightmare or even worse a sexy nightmare General Motors is jumping on the plug-in 47 00:03:19,319 --> 00:03:27,080 hybrid train the exact same train they jumped off of back in 2019 when they 48 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:31,400 killed the highly efficient pH Chevy Volt turns out the Vault wasn't a bad 49 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:35,879 idea just an idea before it's time because nobody knew what a fev was back 50 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:41,640 in 2018 when we were all listening to Drake and dinosaurs roamed the 51 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:45,480 Earth however it turns out there are a significant number of North American 52 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:50,000 drivers who really would like to spend less on gas but can't justify the jump 53 00:03:47,959 --> 00:03:54,720 to Pure battery electric due to its limited range this has left dealerships 54 00:03:52,239 --> 00:03:59,720 with a surplus of EVs and carbon reduction quotas they can't hope to meet 55 00:03:57,519 --> 00:04:05,000 right now those dealers in turn have put pressure on GM to bring back plug-in 56 00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:06,879 hybrids GM has likewise backtracked on 57 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:11,560 its decision early last year to kill the Chevy bolt with a B the light and 58 00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:18,040 efficient battery electric car that made up over 80% of GM's EV sales in 2023 59 00:04:15,799 --> 00:04:24,360 this is a trend that extends far beyond GM BMW is expanding both its EV and phv 60 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:29,120 lineups and Mazda will also be debuting its first plug-in hybrid this year with 61 00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:33,479 the cx90 Lamborghini isn't planning on a fully electric vehicle until 2028 but 62 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:39,759 they launched their first plug-in hybrid in 2023 which they'll be following with 63 00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:42,520 a phev version of their Urus SUV this 64 00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:46,039 year Urus and you know gas prices are bad when the Lamborghini owners jump 65 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:50,800 ship

00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:30,960 really cares about this issue raising the bar after lowering it into the 88 00:06:27,599 --> 00:06:33,319 ground a listing for NVIDIA rumored 6 GB 89 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:37,599 edition of the RTX 3050 recently surfaced on a site for Australian 90 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:42,080 retailer ech that can only be described as disappointing if true the listing 91 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:47,520 which has since been removed shows a concerning drop in cacor of 20% compared 92 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:51,120 to the base model which already had an advantage of two additional gigabyt of 93 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:56,280 RAM earlier rumors indicated that the new card would either maintain core 94 00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:57,960 count or see a drop of just 10% but 95 00:06:56,280 --> 00:07:01,599 maybe NVIDIA is just trying to let us down gently so by the the actual launch 96 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,919 we won't be disappointed to find it's just a single fan duct taped to a box of 97 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:09,680 Lunchables at least it's Pizza it's not the worst rumor out there today though 98 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:15,039 that goes to Intel who are

millions of dollars in Lost funds by law US Banks must 103 00:07:29,479 --> 00:07:37,120 reimburse customers any funds stolen via unauthorized electronic transactions but 104 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:41,879 Citybank claims they are exempt because there was no indication their clients 105 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:46,479 were being deceived however one woman informed the bank after simply clicking 106 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:51,080 on a suspicious Link in a text City Bank told her not to worry about it and 3 107 00:07:48,159 --> 00:07:55,560 Days Later scammers transferred $40,000 out

this 119 00:08:41,599 --> 00:08:48,519 quarter but it only cost me 10 bucks to watch the whole first season on Apple TV 120 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:52,360 plus why is Google so bad with money it's a classic Jacob pun best show I've 121 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:57,279 seen in a while though by the way I endorse it and car rental company Europe 122 00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:02,560 car said a massive

misinformation to upstanding citizens and criminals alike however Europe car 125 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:16,120 may be in the misinfo business too Troy hunt the security researcher behind have 126

on everyone's brains 128 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:28,800 all the time right now thanks to stories like this one about yet another lawyer 129 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:33,279 getting caught citing a non-existent court case thanks to chat G PT or this 130 00:09:31,079 --> 00:09:37,240 one about an alarm clock on Kickstarter that displays AI generated poems to tell 131 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:41,760 you the time in the least efficient way possible especially because it gets both 132 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:45,360 the time and basic English words wrong so you have to check an actual clock 133 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:49,720 anyway it's going to change everything meanwhile all you have to do is check 134 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:53,360 back here on Friday for more Tech news we're the most
