00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:06.740
I now have a child so you are all legally obligated to call me a Papa Jean

00:00:04.890 --> 00:00:11.639
ah Papa Jean so Amazon Prime day is

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:14.730
currently in full swing right now but that doesn't mean Amazon is the only

00:00:13.019 --> 00:00:19.289
place online where you can score a special deal other retailers are trying

00:00:16.859 --> 00:00:23.039
to cut into the Amazon hype including Walmart Target and notably eBay which is

00:00:21.210 --> 00:00:27.510
already offering a number of highly discounted electronic gadgets so you

00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:32.219
might want to give these other also-rans or less cool retailers look because last

00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:37.260
year Amazon actually totally got taken down by a glitch on prime day because so

00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:38.879
many of us need stuff or we think we do

00:00:37.260 --> 00:00:43.170
when it's a little bit cheaper if Amazon goes down again this year eBay will

00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:48.660
offer a crash sale with deals that it promises are even more outrageous so get

00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:52.260
down yet keep your eyes peeled if you really want to save some money by

00:00:50.129 --> 00:00:58.100
spending money you otherwise wouldn't have to spend get down you got stuff I'm

00:00:55.890 --> 00:01:03.960
trying to sell Microsoft Office 365 is now in the same

00:01:01.230 --> 00:01:08.280
legal territory as crack and machine guns at least in the eyes of the

00:01:05.369 --> 00:01:13.350
government of hesse a federal state in Germany last week the state's government

00:01:10.380 --> 00:01:17.549
declared office 365 illegal due to the productivity software's penchant for

00:01:14.850 --> 00:01:26.729
sending user data back to Microsoft HQ in that creepy privacy invading us na

00:01:21.619 --> 00:01:28.530
esta casa si ah not German enough si has

00:01:26.729 --> 00:01:32.670
roughly 6 million people many of whom are now criminals ok it's not that bad

00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:35.880
the state's leadership appears to be using this declaration as the means to

00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:40.140
pressure Microsoft into changing their software in both office and Windows 10

00:01:37.829 --> 00:01:44.850
to comply with German law as well as Europe's notorious gdpr or general data

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:48.930
protection regulation has these government does specify conditions under

00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:52.200
which schools or offices could continue to use the software including storing

00:01:50.610 --> 00:01:57.149
data on German servers instead of American ones but it makes you think

00:01:53.970 --> 00:02:00.079
about what we do if office was suddenly

00:01:57.149 --> 00:02:05.610
made illegal Google Docs it's no secret that online

00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:10.619
shopping has been the demise of many a brick-and-mortar retail chain but Game

00:02:07.950 --> 00:02:13.319
Stop is hoping to fight back even in an era where online distribution platforms

00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:19.409
like Steam I've taken over the industry the chain is partnering with a design firm to

00:02:16.890 --> 00:02:22.769
revamp its stores promising new layouts new ways to track games before

00:02:21.239 --> 00:02:25.700
committing to buying them and even eSports leagues

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:33.260
you can see I'm skeptical additionally some stores will be dedicated to selling

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:39.329
old-school retro hardware in games and just that that seems like even worse of

00:02:36.870 --> 00:02:42.719
an idea overall it's a game Saab wants to turn their stores into more of an

00:02:40.799 --> 00:02:47.250
experience rather than just a place to buy games which would be pretty cool

00:02:44.579 --> 00:02:51.299
except I probably would just experience them there and then go buy them online

00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:55.709

smart smart person ROFL quick bets the European Union's Galileo satellite

00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:39.239
system an alternative to the well known GPS has been down for the entire weekend

00:03:36.329 --> 00:03:43.470
and was still not working at the time we wrote this episode Wow none of its 26

00:03:41.970 --> 00:03:47.879
satellites are currently working for the public due to an issue on the ground no

00:03:45.690 --> 00:03:52.010
word on when it'll be back up but I'm sure Galileo himself is turning over in

00:03:49.859 --> 00:03:57.810
his grave telescopes wryly

00:03:54.739 --> 00:03:59.579
it's game over for the suite of internet

00:03:57.810 --> 00:04:04.290
games that came with Windows XP and Windows 7 ha if you're still using an

00:04:02.370 --> 00:04:09.569
older version of the OS Internet backgammon checkers heart's not hearts

00:04:06.510 --> 00:04:12.180
spades and reversi are all going away

00:04:09.569 --> 00:04:16.019
soon at the end of the month of using XP in January 2020 for Windows 7 users I

00:04:14.189 --> 00:04:22.520
actually really missed those but not quite as much as a space cadet pinball

00:04:19.340 --> 00:04:24.250
well I just wore my arrow keys were just

00:04:22.520 --> 00:04:28.010
Dunn's up it wasn't long ago that Donald Trump

00:04:26.660 --> 00:04:32.419
announced that the u.s. wanted to develop a space for us but now it looks

00:04:30.440 --> 00:04:37.400
like they're allies the French won't be too far behind as Emmanuel macron wants

00:04:35.150 --> 00:04:40.220
to create a Space Command is that what they're calling it that's not as good as

00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:44.419
for us a Space Command to help defend Frances satellites hopefully they'll

00:04:42.440 --> 00:04:50.350
have an easier time with that than Buzz Lightyear did against Zerg that that

00:04:47.630 --> 00:04:55.070
joke sucks that's a brutal joke that's not okay that's not even a French

00:04:52.729 --> 00:04:59.570
movie French I don't even get a joke sucks and speaking of movie stuff a

00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:05.270
movie based on the iconic retro game space invaders is one step closer to

00:05:01.970 --> 00:05:07.010
reality ah it's gonna be bad new line

00:05:05.270 --> 00:05:11.090
cinema has hired the same writer responsible for the moral Kombat reboot

00:05:08.630 --> 00:05:14.270
to work on the film of course the game didn't really have much of a plot to

00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:20.050
begin with other than shoot this group of pixels that kind of looks like an alien but it can't be more disappointing

00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:24.710
than the Independence Day sequel right weird comparison that's not a video game

00:05:22.190 --> 00:05:29.720
and the US Army has announced it will start testing robotic combat vehicles

00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:33.770
next year these vehicles will be unmanned and controlled by remote

00:05:31.370 --> 00:05:37.729
operators who could be men or women and while the first of these vehicles will

00:05:35.150 --> 00:05:42.190
only feature 7.62 millimeter machine guns the idea is that heavier remote

00:05:40.430 --> 00:05:46.640
vehicles with expanded capabilities assisted by AI will be available in the

00:05:44.810 --> 00:05:50.210
coming years ultimately the Americans hope that the vehicles will be more

00:05:48.260 --> 00:05:53.320
effective than the droid army that Jar Jar being somehow took down

00:05:55.270 --> 00:06:00.470
that's all for today so come back for the sequel attack of the clones on

00:05:58.820 --> 00:06:07.180
Wednesday which would be just as good to stay but more clones

00:06:03.880 --> 00:06:07.180
fewer clones

00:06:07.500 --> 00:06:12.740
the appropriate about fewer than zero clothes Wow
