didn't we already do a bit where i thought he was there and i was like oh where'd he go
well who where did who go the thing
one thing well no just the intro like i was gonna i was gonna say hey what
happened to the thing what's the the red thing
i have no idea that's orange dude blue and orange
no i know colors i went to preschool are you sure
well i may not know colors but i do know tech news ces may be over but the tech
news train keeps rolling along so let's get right to it if you're a proud owner
of a nintendo switch it probably feels a little strange that folks that use the
older gen 3ds and wii u have access to
super nest titles but you don't but a recent code leak suggests that
that is about to change and it looks like switch online users will be getting
plenty of classics nest games at some point down the line mentioned titles
include super mario kart super mario world super legend of mario zelda link
to the super past super yoshi's island super metroid super pilot super wings
super f0 and super punch out
there's no word exactly on when nintendo plans to make these titles available to
players but it looks like a pretty solid i would even say super lineup to help
you catch up on your old favorites that you missed out on because you were
deprived as a child in which case they wouldn't be your old favorites are you a
drone enthusiast from right here in good old kineda
well you might have a lot more red tape to fly through pretty soon before you
can pick up your drone controller again starting on june 1st transport canada is
going to start requiring you to register your drone if it's more than 250 grams
which is a little over half a pound for our yankee friends and you can forget
about flying a drone if you're under 14. you are simply too immature folks who
are in canada temporarily such as foreigners present on a work visa also
will be barred from flying drones those who float the rules do so at their own
peril as individuals flying drones for personal use can be fined up to a
thousand canadian rupals that's about
i don't know a buck 50 us for flying without certification and up to three
grand if you flew the drone in an unsafe manner so forget about flying your
walmart drone to canada to steal maple syrup
don't be totally surprised if you're living in the u.s by the way and you've gotten more spam calls recently as the
lengthy federal government shutdown has limited what government authorities
charged with consumer protection can actually do to prevent marketers and
scammers from lighting up your phone lines the website for the long-running
do not call registry isn't currently taking new submissions and marketers who
play by the rules and frequently check the do not call list can't check it for
updated numbers on top of that there could be issues with spotty enforcement
especially as the federal website for reporting identity theft is also
inaccessible for the time being given the current gridlock in dc over the
shutdown this might continue to be an issue for some time so you might want to
keep your phone on vibrate for a bit or you could get a pixel call screening

hard drives were just a a wet dream of
adolescent Linus wait no you guys don't remember that i guess i never told
anybody that well you can now buy a one terabyte sd card as lexar has just
brought one to market now it's a mid-range card in terms of performance
rated at uhs1 speeds so that'll be good enough for a 4k video with some cameras

price on not having to swap sd cards over and over because lexar did it's 500
wouldn't you weren't you paying attention speaking of not paying attention soulja boy doesn't seem to
have been paying attention to all the social media lash back lash back
flashback i like it and uh and well the cease and
desist that he got from i think allegedly nintendo he's ripping off
video game consoles again so mr boy did have to pull his nintendo emulator box
off the market but he has since released the soulja game
which looks suspiciously like a ps vita
or should i say more suspiciously like a
chinese knockoff of a ps vita that you can get on aliexpress
so it can be yours for 100 bucks or 25
if you have the technology to zoom in on the pictures on his soulja website and
see the markings on the console and then google them and find the monali express
india is cracking down on what it considers illegal social media posts and
industry giants such as facebook and mozilla are none too pleased the
proposed new rules say that unlawful content has to be taken down within 24
hours with the idea being that they want to fight political fake news and prevent
unrest such a rule could burden providers
though and critics worry that the rules border on censorship the good news
though is i'm pretty sure that hot takes about bollywood movies are still fair
game and i think the world is better off the more
of those that exist what did you think about tiger zinda hai
i mean i'm just reading the script i don't i don't watch hollywood how
bollywood hot takes hollywood bot takes now that's an
interesting one nike wants you to start using your phone
to lace up your shoes the sportswear giant is set to release a pair of
app-connected basketball sneakers tomorrow a promotional video shows nba
stars controlling the laces from smartphones and apparently being
impressed totally not sponsored at all so you'll need to pay
about 350 us dollars for the privilege of not having to lace up your kicks by
hand just don't allow any of that residual laziness to carry over into your actual
game okay if you script in me being like yo
where the f is the back to future reference then it's in there that it's
in the script and from the truth is stranger than
fiction department police in california brought about a peaceful end to what
could have been a violent standoff this weekend by having a robot deliver a vape pen to
a suspect the perp had threatened to set a gas
station on fire and later demanded a cigarette bot officers gave the man a
vape pen instead to reduce the risk of the fire that
he threatened after which he was arrested without further incident this
might be the only known instance of a vape pen actually being responsible for
something helpful and or cool
you don't vape you don't vape it's not lit
by definition and that's our show speaking of things lit so come back
wednesday for more tech news or else i don't have a great threatening
face
