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

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

00:00:07.439 --> 00:00:14.080
many enemies you should try being nicer to people chip Rivals Intel and AMD have

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:18.039
joined forces to defend themselves against the rising threat of ARM

00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:22.560
processors who apparently think they're good enough to power MacBooks and

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:26.920
Windows PCS now team red and blue announced at lenovo's Tech World

00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:32.480
Conference that they've recruited giants like Microsoft Google and more to the x

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:38.399
86 Advisory Group despite those companies recently building their own

00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:40.800
ARM server chips to get away from x86

00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:45.000
but darling you can't decline an invitation to an Advisory Group it

00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:51.480
simply isn't done perhaps more confusing is the addition of famous Computer Boys

00:00:47.480 --> 00:00:53.239
Tim Sweeney and lonus tals as luminaries

00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:57.559
on the board which means they get to wear cool robes and sit in the biggest

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

00:01:00.519 --> 00:01:05.400
to prove that x86 isn't dead Intel also

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:11.320
took the opportunity to show off the first Panther Lake sample chip built on

00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:16.119
Intel's 18a node the one that the company said it's completely focusing on

00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:21.799
instead of the 20a node used in its aerol Lake desktop chips launching late

00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:26.560
next week might seem a tad early to get the Panther Lake hype started now but

00:01:24.520 --> 00:01:31.520
it's probably in Intel's best interest as more leaked benchmarks in CPU Z and

00:01:29.320 --> 00:01:36.479
blender show disappointing performance from the aerol lake Flagship core Ultra

00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:41.439
9 285k thankfully Intel is going to get some emotional support from its new pal

00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:46.840
AMD who expected to launch the ryzen 9 9800 x3d the day after the AOL Lake

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

00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:56.680
there both Google and Amazon are turning

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:58.680
to smrs small modular nuclear reactors

00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:03.360
which are pre-fabricated and easily assembled with an output capacity of up

00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:09.399
to 300 megaw Google has announced an agreement to buy Power from chyos Power

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:11.080
a company with a yet untested SMR design

00:02:09.399 --> 00:02:17.040
that recently began construction of an unpowered demo reactor Amazon meanwhile

00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:22.280
is giving money to two utility companies to study the possibility of adding smrs

00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:27.720
to their existing large non-modular reactors as well as investing in startup

00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:32.920
X energy which has its own equally untested SMR design this sounds like a

00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:36.760
good idea that's for the scientists we got to get these AIS going guys smrs

00:02:35.239 --> 00:02:41.120
have been a popular idea for getting around The prohibitive Upfront costs of

00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:45.480
old school reactors which can take decades to build but due in part to

00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:50.800
regulatory barriers and public uncertainty they've been slow Inc coming

00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:56.840
currently the only successful smrs in the world are in Russia and China built

00:02:53.239 --> 00:02:59.840
in 2020 and 2021 respectively however

00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:01.440
the new hotness in the tech World AI is

00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:06.040
burning a hole through many companies budgets with its exorbitant energy draw

00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:10.400
while Microsoft has jumped onto a scheme to get the old Three Mile Island reactor

00:03:08.519 --> 00:03:15.560
up and running there aren't exactly a lot of old unused reactors just sitting

00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:19.879
around in basically serviceable condition nuclear energy has become far

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:23.959
more efficient over the last few decades especially with techniques like fuel

00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:28.720
reprocessing though that itself has raised concerns over nuclear

00:03:25.799 --> 00:03:32.319
proliferation because fun fact it's also how you extract PL plutonium for using

00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:36.280
nuclear weapons but if we don't build the reactors how are we going to make

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

00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:47.280
not play the recent roll out of Windows 11 version 24 H2 is causing its fair

00:03:44.640 --> 00:03:51.760
share of chaos as major Windows updates are want to do users have reported

00:03:49.799 --> 00:03:55.560
widespread connectivity issues after restarting their newly updated devices

00:03:54.079 --> 00:04:00.159
While others have found that their mouse cursor disappears completely when they

00:03:57.799 --> 00:04:05.040
click on text fields in chromium B based apps including Microsoft Edge another

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:10.239
bug causes the system file Checker to misclassify files as corrupted attempt

00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:15.959
to fix them and rescan them only to find them corrupted yet again like an IT

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

00:04:19.799 --> 00:04:25.960
update cache that can't be deleted which Microsoft says is actually just

00:04:23.880 --> 00:04:29.360
reporting error all of these issues should be fixed at some point but

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:34.320
depending on how serious your device has been affected Ed you might just want to

00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:36.880
roll back to version 23 H2 or maybe just

00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:42.320
roll over and go back to bed probably the most serious bug is the one causing

00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:44.840
some Western Digital ssds to repeatedly

00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:51.080
crash like a narcoleptic bus driver makes sense to me the affected SSD

00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:54.039
models are the SN 580 and the SN 770

00:04:51.080 --> 00:04:58.680
which lack a d module and instead use a host memory buffer or hmb in the

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

00:05:01.520 --> 00:05:10.600
recent Windows 11 update changed these SSD's maximum hmb size from 64 MB to 200

00:05:07.880 --> 00:05:15.440
megabytes causing them to freak out notably there are other vendors that

00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:17.919
sell ssds with 64 megab hmbs and it's

00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:22.720
not yet clear why only Western Digital ssds are having this problem it is

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

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

00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:36.800
whole grooming situation with our sponsor manscaped and their new chairman

razor for a guy who loves chasing waterfalls even if he shouldn't you'll

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

00:06:48.440 --> 00:06:56.000
of its new click to cancel rule which will require subscription services to

00:06:53.120 --> 00:07:00.240
make cancellation as easy as signing up not of the usual chicanery where you

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

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

00:07:08.080 --> 00:07:14.800
rule applies to online companies like Amazon yes but it also applies to Brick

00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:19.280
and Mortar businesses like gyms which are typically harder to break up with

00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:24.039
Than Blue Beard uh he's a mythological figure who murders all his wives and

00:07:21.280 --> 00:07:29.960
that's your Jessica fun fact for the day Adobe has unveiled its Firefly

00:07:27.039 --> 00:07:33.599
textto video AI generation tool which distinguishes itself from its

00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:39.440
competition with a training database that adobe says is exclusively composed

00:07:36.440 --> 00:07:41.360
of aboveboard licensed content the tool

00:07:39.440 --> 00:07:47.159
is still in beta but it will definitely be more appealing to large Brands who'd

00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:48.919
rather not get their assets sued off in

00:07:47.159 --> 00:07:53.240
response to the rise of deep fakes enabled by these kinds of easy to usee

00:07:50.599 --> 00:07:58.280
tools startup reality Defender has developed its own tool to detect live

00:07:55.479 --> 00:08:02.039
deep fakes NVIDIA calls one that will hopefully be ready in time for my Skype

00:08:00.039 --> 00:08:08.400
call next week with the Pope and the dolly Lama big Tech news fans those guys

00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:14.000
SpaceX literally caught a rocket in midair during its fifth Test Flight of

00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:19.159
the massive Starship rocket the Rocket's first stage super heavy booster launched

00:08:16.919 --> 00:08:24.520
the Starship essentially the upper stage that is meant to hold people to 130 Mi

00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:30.479
above the ground then slowly descended to be caught by the mechanical arms of

00:08:26.840 --> 00:08:31.840
the launch Tower I missed you now SpaceX

00:08:30.479 --> 00:08:36.320
wants to move on to catching the Starship itself too we're going to be

00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:40.560
shooting tubes of people into the sky and then catching them in a giant clamp

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

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

00:08:47.640 --> 00:08:54.160
block origin as the extension may or may not be supported by your Chrome browser

00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:58.800
while the extension's page in the Chrome web store says the extension May soon no

00:08:56.680 --> 00:09:03.600
longer be supported some users have actually been told told by Chrome that

00:09:00.800 --> 00:09:08.079
ublock origin and other extensions are definitely unsupported with the browser

00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:12.920
explicitly turning said extensions off it's the end of an era anyway I'll see

00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:18.200
you all on Firefox and multiple us owners of eax robot vacuums have

00:09:16.040 --> 00:09:23.640
reported that their once faithful dustbusters started following them

00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:25.880
around screaming slurs and obscenities

00:09:23.640 --> 00:09:30.279
it has begun to be clear these devices were just hacked they did not suddenly

00:09:27.800 --> 00:09:34.839
gain sentience and speedrun their way to anti-Semitism according to an

00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:39.480
investigation by ABC a pin code is required to access these ecovac video

00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:43.760
feeds but there's no server side validation meaning that it's easily

00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:48.279
bypassed worse the company was warned about this issue back in 2023 and simply

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

00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:56.120
the Worst That Could Happen a tiny mobile camera could be used to

00:09:54.560 --> 00:10:01.279
constantly monitor you in your most intimate moments yes but hey we don't

00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:06.160
mind if you monitor us on Friday for another episode of tech news you could

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
