1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,759
it's black friday but since there's an unfortunate lack of news about brawls at

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:12,080
walmart we're gonna settle for news about tech starting with the processor

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:16,160
industry it looks like there's even more good news for AMD is a recent survey by

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:22,800
the european hardware association indicated that 60 of respondents wanted

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:26,480
an AMD CPU for their next rig as opposed

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:29,920
to Intel only 60 the survey asked 10 000

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:32,399
european users and indicated a 20

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:38,640
increase in preference for team red over just last year when 40 percent leaned

9
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:45,040
towards the uh AMD side there was also a small but noticeable uptick for AMD's

10
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:47,440
graphics offerings going from 19 to 23

11
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:52,719
even over in the us eight of the top 10 best-selling cpus are from AMD i don't

12
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,320
think we've seen a red scare like this since the cold war here's a deal for

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:02,719
something that you might not actually want all that much valve is now selling its remaining steam

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:07,439
controllers for just five dollars the idea was originally quite innovative

15
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:12,240
sounding as the device was extremely customizable with numerous options for

16
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:16,159
controlling games such as playing a fighting game only with motion controls

17
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:20,479
it did end up being a little overwhelming for reviewers who mostly

18
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:24,560
said they preferred more conventional analog sticks but it still sold over

19
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:28,400
half a million units in the six months following its release in 2015. it

20
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,360
appears that it failed to catch on with a larger audience though due to the

21
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,320
difficulty of getting used to the touchpad so uh there you go if you want to try it

22
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:40,960
out the discount will be available until december 3rd or until supplies last and

23
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:44,320
even if you hate it well at least you get to own an infamous piece of tech

24
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:48,079
history to go along with your virtual boy when you think of bank robbery you

25
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:52,640
probably picture a bunch of dudes with masks and guns

26
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:57,759
but a recent cyber heist netted thieves 49 million dollars without the need for

27
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:03,360
all that messy you know pointing guns at people a cryptocurrency

28
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:06,079

45
00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:19,200
services sustained outages worldwide

46
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:23,280
facebook was mom on the actual cause other than to say that it was an issue

47
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:26,159
with your mom no just kidding but she is probably the only one who noticed

48
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,280
because it's facebook they said there was something wrong with their central

49
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:33,120
software systems whatever the heck that means maybe it

50
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:37,120
was too many people posting pictures of turkey and the hits just keep on coming

51
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:41,040
for google stadia this time in the form of an nba 2k20 bug

52
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:46,319
although one of stadia's main selling points is that all the updates are handled server side meaning that gamers

53
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:51,040
won't have to wait around for patches to download nba2k20 players are still

54
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:55,200
getting stuck on a screen that says updates are downloading google has

55
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:58,959
confirmed that this is an error oh well that's good

56
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:04,000
and that downloading updates is not actually necessary it just sounds like

57
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:07,840
they don't understand that ball is life is that is that a thing although ford's

58
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:11,439
weird mustang electric suv thing caught a lot of flack when it came out mostly

59
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,360
due to the fact that it doesn't resemble a mustang at all that wasn't enough to

60
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:19,919
dissuade the market in general as it's now sold out in the united states

61
00:04:17,919 --> 00:04:24,000
because ford only had so many batteries to go around only 50 000 of these

62
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:28,639
monstrosities will be made in year one and yes john wrote today's episode and

63
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:32,160
he's a mustang owner with very strong opinions on this okay thank you john for

64
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,600
throwing that in there what are your opinions we don't know if you really

65
00:04:33,919 --> 00:04:40,240
want to participate in black friday but are really cash trapped hulu is

66
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:43,759
currently running a special special hulu is currently running a special

67
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:48,880
where you'll get a year of streaming for only two bucks a month although it's for

68
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:54,240
their ad supported version that notoriously has lots of ads to deal with

69
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:58,400
um but whatever i guess it's still an enticing offer considering that it's

70
00:04:55,919 --> 00:05:03,360
about the price of a coke and huawei is now suing the us government over an fcc

71
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:08,000
order that banned the company along with fellow chinese manufacturer zte from

72
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:11,039
benefiting from the universal service fund which is

73
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:15,440
basically money that the wireless carriers can use to subsidize phones for

74
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:18,880
lower income customers since this is just the latest development in a

75
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:23,840
protracted battle between huawei and uncle sam folks with huawei phones in

76
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:27,759
the us can still use them for now but if you're looking to upgrade you might want

77
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:33,039
to get your next phone from a company that the us isn't currently beefing with

78
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:36,960
so that's our show have a great weekend and come back on monday for some more
