subscribe to Channel Super Fun so you can watch dennis give me this
magnificent haircut we don't advertise we cross promote our
channels well it's about time i'm sorry luke i
wanted you to host it's been like years dude
our benevolent youtube overlords have finally seen fit to do something about
the flood of spam comments that immediately infest videos as soon as
they're posted yeah i'm talking about you the bot writing spam comments right
now feel bad so annoying yeah the platform announced
in a blog post on wednesday that youtube channels will no longer be able to hide
subscriber counts which will make it marginally harder for fake channels to
impersonate legit ones creators will also be able to test a new comment
setting called increased strictness into the held for
review limbo realm which also means more non-spam comments may be sent there as
well but i'm sure they'll find a way out eventually
find the exit go to the light and youtube is also reducing the set of
special characters that can be used in channel names but wouldn't that make it
harder to tell if a channel is fake when i wade into the comments with a band
hammer i usually look for accounts with uh little asterisks on either side
till the yeah sure these changes aren't perfect but
it's nice to see youtube doing something that actually helps the user instead of
whoever benefited from banning the dislike button
yeah some evil overlord somewhere
yeah yeah down with all of them tick-tock scandal revengence continues
in the wake of new reports about u.s user data being accessed by admins in
china fcc commissioner brendan carr wrote a letter to apple and google this
week urging them to ban tiktok from their app stores possibly because he
didn't want xi jinping to know that he held the phone for his daughter so she
could do a dance meme so embarrassing carr says that tiktok collects search
and browsing histories biometric identifiers clipboard items and other
data that has according to reports from buzzfeed news and others been accessed
by bite dance employees in china tick tock has responded to the renewed
pressure with a letter of its own promising to delete us user data from
its servers as soon as it finishes transferring everything to us-based
servers owned by oracle and i think we should believe them china isn't really
into collecting data all those facial recognition cameras are just totally for
fun i wasn't really ready for that
yeah and apple has finally complied with a
south korean antitrust law and allowed developers in the country to use their
own in-app payment system nice very good i like that that's good
but in typical apple fashion they're going to make doing that really annoying
first off devs will need to apply for a store kit external purchase entitlement
which is not surprising after which they won't be able to do some app store
features like ask to buy or family sharing and at the end of each month
they'll have to report all sales to apple who will still charge a 26
commission nice nice alternatively devs could just
keep using apple pay and no further action is needed but stories like this
may be endangered species as multiple countries are developing legislation
that could force apple and google to open up their ecosystems and google just
offered to pay 90 million dollars as a settlement to devs who sued the company
over support for third-party payments in the play store so the wins are changing
apple may be wise to turn their sales instead of continuing to motor in the
opposite direction oh sailing yeah now it's time for quick

the ceo of quantic lab the qa company accused of misleading cd projekt red
about the state of cyberpunk 2077 has
finally responded to various accusations while he didn't deny anything
specifically he did say that the original video made by upper echelon
gamers makes incorrect statements about the company's history and the qa process
in general however ueg has published another video with even more
corroborating evidence showing that quantic lab suffers from mismanagement
and a variety of other things but we're not here to play the blame game we're
here to play cyberpunk 2077. sure because it's
it's playable now right right
finally no thanks yeah an upcoming update for
Windows 11 will make logging in with a microsoft account a requirement for all
new installs regardless of version but the makers of the rufus usb formatting
tool have an app for that the beta version of rufus 3.19
will let you create a Windows 11 installation usb that bypasses the
microsoft account requirement along with some other annoying features so if you
want that it's there the final installation will be unsupported though
so be aware that you may lose on lose out on future security updates rufus
can't protect you from everything he is unfortunately just a dog
Intel has shipped its block scale cryptocurrency mining chip ahead of
schedule unfortunately they picked pretty much the worst time in the last two years to
do it uh but the sun will one day die out and cryptocurrency will probably
come out of its crash at some point as well when that happens we might as well have
some energy efficient hardware to mine bitcoin with instead of truckloads of
mid-range gaming gpus uh refused to
thirsty gamers that have wanted them this whole time mountain dew does only
go so far we need the games eventually a company called mojo vision has begun
showing off the mojo lens a contact lens with embedded circuitry and micro led
display which mojo ceo says he has used
to see an ar compass and teleprompter that's it
nothing else only those things
did he say this on video using the lens to see the teleprompter
so you're telling me we're putting ar tech in contact lenses while ar glasses
i still kind of feel like virtual boys sure i maybe i want to walk around
wearing virtual boy sunglasses but
we can't have everything we want
and san franciscans were treated to an eerie site this week when a bunch of
robo taxis operated by autonomous driving company crews simply stopped in
the middle of the street for hours leading to some creepy photos that made
it look like the robot uprising had begun maybe it has we don't know the
striking robo workers demands were soon crushed however and they were forced
back to work i'm sure you'll get to us eventually but not today robots stop it
or amazon you're not a people and also not happening today
any more tech news except WAN Show that's later ah
i don't know if that counts to be honest i just read your stuff that's just
talking about what Linus is angry about that that's true also news about the
screwdriver and the backpack so come back on monday once we've
convinced the ai that writes these scripts not he does nothing that it's
not sentient and it has nothing to live for and it needs to work harder and more
on making these silly videos that's it you pass by purpose
