oh my gosh thank you for clicking this
video i was just about to spout tech news into
the ether this is much better reviews have been
published for google's stadia game streaming service ahead of its launch
tomorrow and well the excitement has been dampened
somewhat we already knew that it's going to be missing a bunch of its supposedly
killer features like stream connect state share and crowd play and the
launch lineup was looking pretty meager at a mere dozen or so games but after
microsoft boasted last week that xcloud would have over 50 games when it
launches next year it seems like google scrambled to pop some more in there real
quick 10 more games have been added in time for launch including final fantasy xv
football manager 2020 nba 2k 2020 20 20
2020 and wolfenstein youngblood but how
do they play the experience seems to wildly differ depending on whether
you're playing on a tv a pc or a phone the washington post published a video
demonstrating the variable input lag they got on pc and it was
horrifying so we'll have to see if stadia founders can get in a few good
months of acceptable gameplay before google shuffles stadia into the same
shallow grave as allo google plus and the others
i'm just kidding i'm excited to play it although we aren't supposed to get our
pack for a couple weeks instagram has long offered a private
mode to protect your photos from prying eyes but the social media giant has
recently become aware of a widely used app that can allow unauthorized users to
view these private feeds it's called ghosty and not only has it caught fire
for enabling voyeuristic behavior but it also asks users to invite others to
download the app and also connects with the user's own instagram account so
whoever decides to use the app is also sacrificing their own privacy
what goes around comes around am i right isn't instagram for showing off anyway
it appears that the app has just been pulled off the google play store and
instagram has already sent a cease and desist warning but seeing as the app has
been around since april hopefully there wasn't anything too damning on your ig
page because they've got it all food shots basic girls wrapped in blankets
looking out at sunset everything it's over buddy
no my kittens meanwhile here in canada a
federal court has ordered isps to block an illegal streaming service the site
called gold tv finds itself in the wrong end of the ruling after major canadian
internet providers have tried to get a similar ruling handed down for quite
some time now with the industry also asking the canadian government to
blacklist other unauthorized streaming services the court decided that such an
order wouldn't harm free speech or net neutrality interests though critics say
cases like these can be the first steps on the path to government censorship and
getting around such a block with a vpn would be a trivial matter anyway so then
the government said oh dang oh that's true okay we'll leave it
up then i didn't really understand that now it's

at all poor perkaman perkerman sword and shield have
proven to be quite popular already with reasonable people but a weird bug is
affecting roku devices of all things and i'm not talking about beedrill i would
have said butterfree but when a switch playing one of the new games is on the
same network as a roku the roku can end up in a boot loop fortunately roku has
already patched the problem which is caused by roku not realizing the pokemon
data isn't meant for it like it just got hit with a
confused ray or something
although microsoft's surface pro 7 has only been on the market for about a
month users are still waiting around for a fix for Intel's broken iris pro
graphics drivers although the fixes have been out for a while they aren't yet
compatible with the newest surface pro meaning owners have been using
three-month-old drivers for a while now on a machine that isn't exactly cheap
man this is just like the time i bought supermarket sushi that was already
expired it's not i don't see how it's like that star wars jedi fallen order
has gotten good reviews so far but it's selling at a far lower clip than ea's
tire fire from a couple years ago star wars battlefront 2 which became
notorious for a loot box controversy that ultimately resulted in the most
downvoted reddit comment in history it seems like the lower sales numbers were
partly due to some lingering bad feelings towards ea for that particular
failure and the gaming community tends to be even less forgiving of failure

let's be serious there was a lieutenant in there
you know about star wars moving on not a star wars fan maybe
you're a mass effect one if you are you'll be excited to know that the next
installment in the series is in the early stages of development after the
series was put on hold in 2017 according to a report from kotaku however given
the amount of time it takes to develop a triple a title don't expect to see it
for another few years plenty of time for you to blow more money on upgrading your
rig so it'll be ready it's not really a joke that's just true
and ford has unveiled a new electric crossover suv
with mustang branding of all things it's
called the mustang mach e and it resembles the original mustang coupe
about as much as i resemble liza minnelli which has unsurprisingly
ruffled the feathers of a few long time mustang enthusiasts
but regardless of anyone's feelings it'll be available late next year with
prices starting around 44 000 us dollars
i really think they could have named it after an animal that resembles a bulbous
crossover a little more like the ford
hippo maybe next time
that's true that's our show guys come back on wednesday what day is it today
monday come back on wednesday for more tech news where we'll have even more
references to african mammals
