1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,319
we all know the enemy of your enemy is your friend but what if you have another

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:09,160
enemy who's the enemy of the first enemy who's now your friend why do you have so

3
00:00:07,439 --> 00:00:14,080
many enemies you should try being nicer to people chip Rivals Intel and AMD have

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:18,039
joined forces to defend themselves against the rising threat of ARM

5
00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:22,560
processors who apparently think they're good enough to power MacBooks and

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:26,920
Windows PCS now team red and blue announced at lenovo's Tech World

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:32,480
Conference that they've recruited giants like Microsoft Google and more to the x

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:38,399
86 Advisory Group despite those companies recently building their own

9
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:40,800
ARM server chips to get away from x86

10
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:45,000
but darling you can't decline an invitation to an Advisory Group it

11
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:51,480
simply isn't done perhaps more confusing is the addition of famous Computer Boys

12
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:53,239
Tim Sweeney and lonus tals as luminaries

13
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:57,559
on the board which means they get to wear cool robes and sit in the biggest

14
00:00:55,879 --> 00:01:03,600
chairs in the boardroom I don't know what I think luminaries means they're going to set them on fire

15
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:05,400
to prove that x86 isn't dead Intel also

16
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:11,320
took the opportunity to show off the first Panther Lake sample chip built on

17
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:16,119
Intel's 18a node the one that the company said it's completely focusing on

18
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:21,799
instead of the 20a node used in its aerol Lake desktop chips launching late

19
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:26,560
next week might seem a tad early to get the Panther Lake hype started now but

20
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:31,520
it's probably in Intel's best interest as more leaked benchmarks in CPU Z and

21
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:36,479
blender show disappointing performance from the aerol lake Flagship core Ultra

22
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:41,439
9 285k thankfully Intel is going to get some emotional support from its new pal

23
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:46,840
AMD who expected to launch the ryzen 9 9800 x3d the day after the AOL Lake

24
00:01:45,399 --> 00:01:52,640
launch I mean you don't want them to be lonely are they friends now standing out

25
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:56,680
there both Google and Amazon are turning

26
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:58,680
to smrs small modular nuclear reactors

27
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:03,360
which are pre-fabricated and easily assembled with an output capacity of up

28
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:09,399
to 300 megaw Google has announced an agreement to buy Power from chyos Power

29
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,080
a company with a yet untested SMR design

30
00:02:09,399 --> 00:02:17,040
that recently began construction of an unpowered demo reactor Amazon meanwhile

31
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:22,280
is giving money to two utility companies to study the possibility of adding smrs

32
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:27,720
to their existing large non-modular reactors as well as investing in startup

33
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:32,920
X energy which has its own equally untested SMR design this sounds like a

34
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:36,760
good idea that's for the scientists we got to get these AIS going guys smrs

35
00:02:35,239 --> 00:02:41,120
have been a popular idea for getting around The prohibitive Upfront costs of

36
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:45,480
old school reactors which can take decades to build but due in part to

37
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:50,800
regulatory barriers and public uncertainty they've been slow Inc coming

38
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:56,840
currently the only successful smrs in the world are in Russia and China built

39
00:02:53,239 --> 00:02:59,840
in 2020 and 2021 respectively however

40
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,440
the new hotness in the tech World AI is

41
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:06,040
burning a hole through many companies budgets with its exorbitant energy draw

42
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:10,400
while Microsoft has jumped onto a scheme to get the old Three Mile Island reactor

43
00:03:08,519 --> 00:03:15,560
up and running there aren't exactly a lot of old unused reactors just sitting

44
00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:19,879
around in basically serviceable condition nuclear energy has become far

45
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:23,959
more efficient over the last few decades especially with techniques like fuel

46
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:28,720
reprocessing though that itself has raised concerns over nuclear

47
00:03:25,799 --> 00:03:32,319
proliferation because fun fact it's also how you extract PL plutonium for using

48
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:36,280
nuclear weapons but if we don't build the reactors how are we going to make

49
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:41,400
the AI that will one day nuke us all think about it the only way to win is to

50
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:47,280
not play the recent roll out of Windows 11 version 24 H2 is causing its fair

51
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:51,760
share of chaos as major Windows updates are want to do users have reported

52
00:03:49,799 --> 00:03:55,560
widespread connectivity issues after restarting their newly updated devices

53
00:03:54,079 --> 00:04:00,159
While others have found that their mouse cursor disappears completely when they

54
00:03:57,799 --> 00:04:05,040
click on text fields in chromium B based apps including Microsoft Edge another

55
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:10,239
bug causes the system file Checker to misclassify files as corrupted attempt

56
00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:15,959
to fix them and rescan them only to find them corrupted yet again like an IT

57
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:22,320
sisifus Microsoft did this on purpose to punish it there's also a phantom 8.63 GB

58
00:04:19,799 --> 00:04:25,960
update cache that can't be deleted which Microsoft says is actually just

59
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:29,360
reporting error all of these issues should be fixed at some point but

60
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:34,320
depending on how serious your device has been affected Ed you might just want to

61
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:36,880
roll back to version 23 H2 or maybe just

62
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:42,320
roll over and go back to bed probably the most serious bug is the one causing

63
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:44,840
some Western Digital ssds to repeatedly

64
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:51,080
crash like a narcoleptic bus driver makes sense to me the affected SSD

65
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:54,039
models are the SN 580 and the SN 770

66
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:58,680
which lack a d module and instead use a host memory buffer or hmb in the

67
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:03,840
computer's system memory to store a map of where data is Loc at on the SSD this

68
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:10,600
recent Windows 11 update changed these SSD's maximum hmb size from 64 MB to 200

69
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:15,440
megabytes causing them to freak out notably there are other vendors that

70
00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:17,919
sell ssds with 64 megab hmbs and it's

71
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:22,720
not yet clear why only Western Digital ssds are having this problem it is

72
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:27,960
possible to fix the issue with a roll back that is if you can manage to do so

73
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:31,520
before your PC poops its pants good luck it's also more than possible to fix your

whole grooming situation with our sponsor manscaped and their new chairman

kind of like Switzerland or lickstein the FTC has unveiled the final version

92
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:56,000
of its new click to cancel rule which will require subscription services to

93
00:06:53,120 --> 00:07:00,240
make cancellation as easy as signing up not of the usual chicanery where you

94
00:06:57,879 --> 00:07:04,840
check a box at checkout to sign up but you've got to send a 12 page form

95
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:10,120
Written in Blood to a PO Box in Bermuda to get out stop sending me Postmates the

96
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:14,800
rule applies to online companies like Amazon yes but it also applies to Brick

97
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:19,280
and Mortar businesses like gyms which are typically harder to break up with

98
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:24,039
Than Blue Beard uh he's a mythological figure who murders all his wives and

99
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:29,960
that's your Jessica fun fact for the day Adobe has unveiled its Firefly

100
00:07:27,039 --> 00:07:33,599
textto video AI generation tool which distinguishes itself from its

101
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:39,440
competition with a training database that adobe says is exclusively composed

102
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:41,360
of aboveboard licensed content the tool

103
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:47,159
is still in beta but it will definitely be more appealing to large Brands who'd

104
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,919
rather not get their assets sued off in

105
00:07:47,159 --> 00:07:53,240
response to the rise of deep fakes enabled by these kinds of easy to usee

106
00:07:50,599 --> 00:07:58,280
tools startup reality Defender has developed its own tool to detect live

107
00:07:55,479 --> 00:08:02,039
deep fakes NVIDIA calls one that will hopefully be ready in time for my Skype

108
00:08:00,039 --> 00:08:08,400
call next week with the Pope and the dolly Lama big Tech news fans those guys

109
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:14,000
SpaceX literally caught a rocket in midair during its fifth Test Flight of

110
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:19,159
the massive Starship rocket the Rocket's first stage super heavy booster launched

111
00:08:16,919 --> 00:08:24,520
the Starship essentially the upper stage that is meant to hold people to 130 Mi

112
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:30,479
above the ground then slowly descended to be caught by the mechanical arms of

113
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,840
the launch Tower I missed you now SpaceX

114
00:08:30,479 --> 00:08:36,320
wants to move on to catching the Starship itself too we're going to be

115
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:40,560
shooting tubes of people into the sky and then catching them in a giant clamp

116
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:44,839
it's like the most high stakes game of catch you've ever seen don't drop it

117
00:08:43,479 --> 00:08:49,959
that's what Elon Musk never got from his own father the Bell is now tolling for U

118
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:54,160
block origin as the extension may or may not be supported by your Chrome browser

119
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:58,800
while the extension's page in the Chrome web store says the extension May soon no

120
00:08:56,680 --> 00:09:03,600
longer be supported some users have actually been told told by Chrome that

121
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:08,079
ublock origin and other extensions are definitely unsupported with the browser

122
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:12,920
explicitly turning said extensions off it's the end of an era anyway I'll see

123
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:18,200
you all on Firefox and multiple us owners of eax robot vacuums have

124
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:23,640
reported that their once faithful dustbusters started following them

125
00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:25,880
around screaming slurs and obscenities

126
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:30,279
it has begun to be clear these devices were just hacked they did not suddenly

127
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:34,839
gain sentience and speedrun their way to anti-Semitism according to an

128
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:39,480
investigation by ABC a pin code is required to access these ecovac video

129
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:43,760
feeds but there's no server side validation meaning that it's easily

130
00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:48,279
bypassed worse the company was warned about this issue back in 2023 and simply

131
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:52,279
told users not to worry about it in a statement to Tech crunch I mean what's

132
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:56,120
the Worst That Could Happen a tiny mobile camera could be used to

133
00:09:54,560 --> 00:10:01,279
constantly monitor you in your most intimate moments yes but hey we don't

134
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:06,160
mind if you monitor us on Friday for another episode of tech news you could

135
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:09,959
even second monitor us if you have to but I feel like you're missing out on at

136
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:14,360
