00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:07.759
it's black friday but since there's an unfortunate lack of news about brawls at

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:12.080
walmart we're gonna settle for news about tech starting with the processor

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

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:22.800
the european hardware association indicated that 60 of respondents wanted

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:26.480
an AMD CPU for their next rig as opposed

00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:29.920
to Intel only 60 the survey asked 10 000

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:32.399
european users and indicated a 20

00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:38.640
increase in preference for team red over just last year when 40 percent leaned

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:45.040
towards the uh AMD side there was also a small but noticeable uptick for AMD's

00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:47.440
graphics offerings going from 19 to 23

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

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

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

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:07.439
controllers for just five dollars the idea was originally quite innovative

00:01:05.199 --> 00:01:12.240
sounding as the device was extremely customizable with numerous options for

00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:16.159
controlling games such as playing a fighting game only with motion controls

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:20.479
it did end up being a little overwhelming for reviewers who mostly

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:24.560
said they preferred more conventional analog sticks but it still sold over

00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:28.400
half a million units in the six months following its release in 2015. it

00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:31.360
appears that it failed to catch on with a larger audience though due to the

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

00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:40.960
out the discount will be available until december 3rd or until supplies last and

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:44.320

00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:48.079
history to go along with your virtual boy when you think of bank robbery you

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:52.640
probably picture a bunch of dudes with masks and guns

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:57.759
but a recent cyber heist netted thieves 49 million dollars without the need for

00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:03.360
all that messy you know pointing guns at people a cryptocurrency

00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:06.079

00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:14.959

in a series of larcenies involving crypto as a similar amount of money was

00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:30.959
stolen from a bitcoin exchange back in june

if you tried to use facebook or instagram yesterday you may have encountered some difficulties as both

00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:19.200
services sustained outages worldwide

00:03:16.640 --> 00:03:23.280
facebook was mom on the actual cause other than to say that it was an issue

00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:26.159
with your mom no just kidding but she is probably the only one who noticed

00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.280
because it's facebook they said there was something wrong with their central

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:33.120
software systems whatever the heck that means maybe it

00:03:31.040 --> 00:03:37.120
was too many people posting pictures of turkey and the hits just keep on coming

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:41.040
for google stadia this time in the form of an nba 2k20 bug

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

00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:51.040
won't have to wait around for patches to download nba2k20 players are still

00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:55.200
getting stuck on a screen that says updates are downloading google has

00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:58.959
confirmed that this is an error oh well that's good

00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:04.000
and that downloading updates is not actually necessary it just sounds like

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

00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:11.439
weird mustang electric suv thing caught a lot of flack when it came out mostly

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

00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:19.919
dissuade the market in general as it's now sold out in the united states

00:04:17.919 --> 00:04:24.000
because ford only had so many batteries to go around only 50 000 of these

00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:28.639
monstrosities will be made in year one and yes john wrote today's episode and

00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:32.160
he's a mustang owner with very strong opinions on this okay thank you john for

00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:35.600
throwing that in there what are your opinions we don't know if you really

00:04:33.919 --> 00:04:40.240
want to participate in black friday but are really cash trapped hulu is

00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:43.759
currently running a special special hulu is currently running a special

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

00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:54.240
their ad supported version that notoriously has lots of ads to deal with

00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:58.400
um but whatever i guess it's still an enticing offer considering that it's

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

00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:08.000
order that banned the company along with fellow chinese manufacturer zte from

00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:11.039
benefiting from the universal service fund which is

00:05:09.440 --> 00:05:15.440
basically money that the wireless carriers can use to subsidize phones for

00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:18.880
lower income customers since this is just the latest development in a

00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:23.840
protracted battle between huawei and uncle sam folks with huawei phones in

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

00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:33.039
to get your next phone from a company that the us isn't currently beefing with

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
