1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,799
it was the best of tech news it was the worst of tech news but hopefully more

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,880
the first one you know

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:13,620
I'm mad Google pixel phones have been crashing

4
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:18,000
in rebooting after loading one specific YouTube video it's like a high-tech

5
00:00:15,540 --> 00:00:22,619
version of the ring but the psychic dead girl can't get past the iPhone security

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:28,080
it's that good the clip a seemingly normal scene from 1979's Alien causes

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:32,940
pixel 6 or 7 phones that try to load it to instantly shut down do scary

8
00:00:30,660 --> 00:00:37,260
after their phones restarted some users found that they couldn't use cell

9
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:40,260
service until rebooting it again this isn't the first time something like this

10
00:00:38,579 --> 00:00:44,520
has happened in 2020 a particular wallpaper image caused some Android

11
00:00:42,059 --> 00:00:47,520
devices to fall into a boot loop crashing and rebooting in an endless

12
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:53,340
cycle like our lives

13
00:00:50,239 --> 00:00:55,440
until you do a factory reset this was

14
00:00:53,340 --> 00:00:58,860
likely caused by a bug in the color system as effective phones were

15
00:00:57,180 --> 00:01:02,520
primarily Google and Samsung devices that use the default Android color

16
00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:07,020
engine so pixels were getting wiped out by a pixel with their own kind

17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:11,760
with this new bug it's possible that something about the format of the video

18
00:01:08,580 --> 00:01:14,220
4K HDR is messing with Google's exynos

19
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:18,540
derived tensor chip luckily it seems that a fix is already underway as today

20
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:22,740
many pixel users reported being able to successfully watch a man get murdered by

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:28,320
a six foot long vent monster without it as I call it a normal Tuesday

22
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:33,180
my mother-in-law am I right you're a xenophile YouTube has announced it plans

23
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:37,320
to roll out generative AI tools for creators that's us including the ability

24
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:43,380
to create artificial scenes and virtually swapped clothing virtually

25
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:45,140
literally virtually swap clothing I can

26
00:01:43,380 --> 00:01:49,439
be a minimalist the changes are supposed to arrive in

27
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,740
the coming months but who knows maybe they're already here and I'm not wearing

28
00:01:51,180 --> 00:01:55,740
this shirt at all is this the real TechLink set

29
00:01:54,299 --> 00:01:59,100
we don't know there's not a lot of specifics yet as to how the AI features

30
00:01:57,780 --> 00:02:02,640
will be implemented but according to YouTube there will be significant guard

31
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,840
rails in place to avoid abuse particularly given the risk of copyright

32
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:12,739
infringement associated with generative AI like what if they wear an LTT shirt

33
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:12,739
and they didn't even go to LTT Store

34
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:19,620
what YouTube is not avoiding at all is shamelessly copying Tick Tock so they

35
00:02:17,819 --> 00:02:23,280
also announced a new YouTube shorts feature that will allow creators to

36
00:02:21,180 --> 00:02:27,300
record a short parallel to an existing video similar to tick tock's extremely

37
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:32,220
popular duet feature me myself I'm a Loner it's ironic

38
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:36,480
because the duet usually involves two people performing complementary Parts

39
00:02:33,959 --> 00:02:40,500
not doubling the melody Kate Blanchett in the movie tar would not stand for

40
00:02:38,099 --> 00:02:44,400
this and privacy focused messaging app signal which I use is threatening to

41
00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:48,900
pull out of the UK in response to the British parliament's proposed Online

42
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:52,500
safety Bill the legislation which has been in the works since 2021 has

43
00:02:50,819 --> 00:02:56,280
received widespread criticism for granting the government's sweeping

44
00:02:53,940 --> 00:03:00,360
censorship and surveillance Powers as well as content scanning Provisions that

45
00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:05,239
would require service providers to install backdoors into all user

46
00:03:02,340 --> 00:03:05,239
end-to-end encryption

47
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:14,159
the cool messaging app that won't tattle on you to your mom or the government has

48
00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:18,060
stated that they would rather reverse brexit than provide a service that

49
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:22,379
fundamentally compromises the security of their users even if those users are

50
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:26,760
pedophile Isis members according to Signal president Meredith Whitaker the

51
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:30,239
bill not only turns phones into tools of bass government surveillance but also

52
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:35,580
creates an access point for criminals hackers and malign State actors the bad

53
00:03:33,239 --> 00:03:40,620
guys stay away from my nudes Kim Jong-un those are for our sponsor iFixit oh now

54
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,940
I have to fix this phone with some quick bits with iFixit you can easily fix all

55
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:49,260
of your electronics they provide all the bits that fit your needs now say it

56
00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:55,200
romantically either you need the big one or the small one what is this script

57
00:03:52,319 --> 00:04:00,480
they have mini kits with 16 bits to full repair tool kits wow so much room but

58
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:05,819
I'm not handy that's no problem they have over 70 000 repair manuals on their

59
00:04:02,580 --> 00:04:10,620
website you can be the iFixit Master II

60
00:04:05,819 --> 00:04:12,659
fix your devices at ifixit.com TechLink

61
00:04:10,620 --> 00:04:16,560
how many bits could a quick bit if a quick bit could quick bits Twitter

62
00:04:14,519 --> 00:04:21,120
founder Jack Dorsey has launched a new decentralized Twitter alternative blue

63
00:04:18,540 --> 00:04:26,400
sky on the iOS app store but don't get too excited crypto Bros it's invite only

64
00:04:23,340 --> 00:04:28,680
for now and we're not cool given that

65
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:32,220
blue skies whole deal is to be the new Twitter as created by the people who

66
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:37,259
made the old Twitter the Blue Sky app Bears a striking resemblance to Twitter

67
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:41,820
what no word as of yet whether there will be check marks of any kind I on it

68
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:46,139
if it's not there actually that's what the currency is blue sky blue called

69
00:04:43,979 --> 00:04:50,699
chip coin it's called check coin RTX super resolution for videos in Chrome

70
00:04:48,060 --> 00:04:56,880
and Edge is Now supported for GeForce RTX 30 and 40 series gpus what's that

71
00:04:53,580 --> 00:04:59,040
Rejoice RTX VSR uses AI upscaling to

72
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:03,240
sharpen and clarify low resolution video while removing compression artifacts get

73
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:08,040
them out of here 4K upscaling was previously only available on NVIDIA's

74
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:13,139
Shield TV but now a new wave of users can watch hyper compressed 2014 bind

75
00:05:10,620 --> 00:05:16,320
compilations with perfect clarity it was basically American Tick Tock it was

76
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:21,180
great guys they give me live all the perfectly cut screens Tick Tock

77
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:26,580
will be automatically adding a 60 Minute daily screen time cap for accounts

78
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:31,080
listed as under 18 which will stop no one after an hour total on the app

79
00:05:29,220 --> 00:05:35,100
teenage users will be required to enter a passcode to continue browsing the

80
00:05:33,539 --> 00:05:39,180
screen time reminder was already available as an opt-in feature but now

81
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:43,259
teens will have to opt out instead parents using tick tock's family pairing

82
00:05:41,460 --> 00:05:47,880
option will be able to set screen time limits for their children but seeing as

83
00:05:45,180 --> 00:05:51,479
Most teens set up their own accounts and their parents don't even know what it is

84
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:54,840
I guess we're just relying on them and their underdeveloped prefrontal cortex

85
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:57,900
to make their own decisions about whether or not to listen to a polite

86
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,960
message about self-control from the people who brought you the algorithmic

87
00:05:59,460 --> 00:06:06,180
equivalent of math it's so good

88
00:06:04,020 --> 00:06:10,139
it's so good at news I can quit thirst traps anytime Google is adding

89
00:06:08,340 --> 00:06:14,400
client-side encryption to Gmail and Google Calendar expanding feature that

90
00:06:12,060 --> 00:06:19,500
was already available in docs Drive meat sheets and slides those also exist this

91
00:06:17,699 --> 00:06:23,880
means that data created by users will be encrypted before it gets stored on

92
00:06:21,479 --> 00:06:27,840
Google servers so Google itself wouldn't have access to the information within a

93
00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:31,919
feature that will help limit the risk of future data leaks politics about to get

94
00:06:30,060 --> 00:06:35,699
boring you see it doesn't matter if North Korea steals my nudes if they're

95
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:40,319
already encrypted why am I using Gmail to send nudes because it's North Korea

96
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:44,819
that's all they have I'm a professional you're gonna get the best nudes Ford has

97
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:49,500
filed a patent for a system that would allow self-driving cars to repossess

98
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:53,580
themselves if owners fall behind on payments the system would allow Ford to

99
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:59,160
gradually shut off functions in their customers cars like automatic Windows or

100
00:06:56,340 --> 00:07:03,360
seat controls and locking locking wow elements of the infotainment system and

101
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:08,100
air conditioning which could kill you in some hot places or simply just have the

102
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:12,780
car drive away hey this isn't McDonald's where are we going up you promised me

103
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:17,100
the play plays this will incentivize delinquent drivers to pay up but also to

104
00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:20,520
never leave their children unattended I for one cannot wait until one of these

105
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:23,520
kidnaps a toddler in a car seat hopefully my toddler when I'm having a

106
00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:26,520
bad day see you later it's not my fault maybe

107
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,620
and we're done kidnapping your attention for today we're gonna do a catch and

108
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,500
release thing if you promise to come back on Friday for more Tech news if you

109
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,699
don't it gets the switch again
