WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.400
hey guys it's time for the tech news and we got some good stuff today so hold on

00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:09.400
to your hats because it's gonna be super good

00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:22.960
you haven't talked about them for a little while they probably haven't been

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:27.599
up to anything sketchy right wrong if a wall street journal report has anything

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:32.239
to go by technicians working for huawei and uganda and zambia helped the

00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:36.880
governments of both of those countries spy on their political opponents the

00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:41.440
huawei employees used the company's network and specifically a software

00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:45.280
called pegasus to intercept messages and relay them to the governments the

00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:49.840
practice was apparently done at the request of the country's police after

00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:54.800
they had tried and failed to intercept messages themselves now huawei says that

00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:58.960
this was the work of huawei employees executives in china had no idea was

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:02.559
going on and the company has never been engaged in hacking activities

00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:07.600
now technically if they're just monitoring their own

00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:12.000
network it's not hacking like if i pick up someone's wallet after they drop it

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:16.960
on the ground that's not technically stealing yeah it's like finders keepers

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:20.320
that's my wallet now yeah microsoft has warned of four new vulnerabilities in

00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:26.159
Windows that are wormable which beyond just sounding nasty means

00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:28.960
that they can be used by hackers to make malware jump from one computer to

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:33.600
another like space because the flaws are so

00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:37.600
similar to the blue key vulnerability that microsoft patched way back in may

00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:42.159
they are collectively being called deja blue demonstrating

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:46.640
that the only thing worse than security flaws are the dorky names researchers

00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:50.960
come up with to name them i would have named it that's awesome

00:01:48.479 --> 00:01:54.640
who wrote this you did the deja blue flaws are found in the Windows remote

00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:59.439
desktop services which allow users to take control of a remote computer and

00:01:56.720 --> 00:02:03.360
unlike blue keep affect newer versions of Windows including Windows 10 and

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:07.520
Windows server 2019 researchers are working on patches right

00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:12.959
now and they better hurry up because if they don't fix them soon

00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:15.520
i'll just want to cry do you get it

00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:22.560
and speaking of security snafus researchers from vpn mentors say that a

00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:26.640
database containing 28 million records used for building security around the

00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:32.080
world has been publicly accessible for some time the database used in the

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:37.040
biostar 2 security system created by south korean company suprema contains

00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:41.920
plain text passwords of course photos of people's faces personal information and

00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:45.440
even fingerprint scans used to gain access to secure buildings the

00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:50.319
researchers found the database during a routine network scan so it's fair to say

00:02:48.239 --> 00:02:54.640
anyone with some tech know-how could have accessed it they also say they were

00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:58.080
able to change data in the database adding their own fingerprints so that

00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:02.480
they could access buildings owned by companies that used biostar 2. the

00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:06.400
database has since been hidden but who knows who stole whose fingerprints

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:10.879
in the meantime are a bunch of wannabe ethan hunts running around stealing

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:15.760
secrets am i tom cruise james you're james you're not you're not tom cruise

00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:20.080

chocolate flavor a huge bold body and a smooth caramel finish

AMD is launching a new line of graphics cards and by graphics cards i mean

00:04:16.479 --> 00:04:22.160
pre-built gpus and by new i mean old the

00:04:19.919 --> 00:04:27.600
Radeon 600 series from the bottom end Radeon 610 to the top end rx 640 that's

00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:33.440
that's top end not high end are apparently based off the 28 nanometer

00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:36.240
olan gpus from 2013 and are expected to

00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:39.840
show up in pre-built pcs and locked laptops

00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:42.840
so why are we even talking about this riley

00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:50.080
sounds old yeah old stuff in new stuff is that what we're talking about here

00:04:47.440 --> 00:04:54.080
it's news about old stuff brutal guess what facebook was also paying human

00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:58.400
contractors to listen to recordings of its users duh recordings like voice

00:04:56.320 --> 00:05:02.639
memos sent using facebook messenger were reviewed by humans to ensure accurate

00:05:00.320 --> 00:05:07.120
transcription but the company apparently stopped the practice a week ago

00:05:04.880 --> 00:05:10.560
you know when all the other recording stories were popping up and look if

00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:14.400
you're surprised by that i don't know what to tell you you might want to do

00:05:12.479 --> 00:05:17.759
some brilliant daily challenges or something because your brain

00:05:16.080 --> 00:05:21.360
needs to work better this is how they make the technology guys apple is

00:05:19.520 --> 00:05:25.919
gearing up to launch new iphones this fall as they do but the company is

00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:29.680
reportedly switching up their naming scheme again

00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:36.960
come september we'll be looking at the iphone 11 the 11 pro the 11r and the 11

who knows while we're at it maybe an sc 11 000. i'm happy about this actually

00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:57.280
what's not fun is being kicked off your flight because your macbook pro might

00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:59.759
explode like it's a cot dang samsung

00:05:57.280 --> 00:06:05.360
note 7 or something the federal aviation administration has announced a ban on

00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:07.280
certain 2015 macbook pros because of the

00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.880
faulty battery issue that triggered an apple recall back in june if you've

00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:14.800
repaired your model and have the paperwork to prove it you should be able

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:18.880
to fly just fine you actually have to carry paperwork

00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:22.479

00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:34.160
sad saga continues with the blogging platforms acquisition by automatic the

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:37.440
company that owns wordpress tumblr's selling price

00:06:35.520 --> 00:06:41.840
less than 3 million that doesn't seem too bad until you compare it to the 1.1

00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:45.840
billion that yahoo paid for tumblr back in 2013. and if you're about to cheer

00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:49.919
