1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,520
set phasers to stun everyone because it's time for the trek news

2
00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:12,000
just kidding it's tech news there's been a lot of buzz over microsoft's upcoming

3
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:16,080
project xcloud game streaming service and now some users are on the verge of

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:20,320
getting their first glimpse of it although it's still in beta microsoft is

5
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:24,480
now accepting applications for public trials which will start next month this

6
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:28,960
sounds like a drug rollout anyone can apply though microsoft has said that

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:32,719
actual invites will be limited to a small number of participants

8
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:37,440
a couple of big name titles though namely gears of war 5 and halo 5 will

9
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:41,280
apparently be available to play for those who are chosen hardware

10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:45,360
requirements aren't too onerous you just need an Android device and an xbox one

11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:49,280
controller that both support bluetooth and currently applications are being

12
00:00:46,879 --> 00:00:54,320
accepted from the us the uk and south korea so i guess us canadians are

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:56,480
getting the shaft yet again i'm moving

14
00:00:54,320 --> 00:01:01,359
for being a bunch of hosers right phones and other displays with as little

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:05,600
bezel as possible are all the rage these days but what about a phone that's

16
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:10,159
nearly all screen even on the back

17
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:11,920
xiaomi is trying to put even the curved

18
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:17,600
screens that you see on phones like the samsung galaxy edge to shame with the me

19
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:21,920
mix alpha the screen wraps almost entirely around the phone's body with

20
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:25,920
only a small strip on the back being covered by a camera module volume is

21
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:30,560
controlled with a pressure sensitive function on the side and the phone

22
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:34,200
includes 5g support and samsung's new

23
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:36,000
camera sensor that can capture 108

24
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:40,079
megapixels although it's a concept at this stage it

25
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:45,920
will apparently be sold in limited quantities in china for around 2 800 u.s

26
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:48,960
dollars no one is asking for this hopefully they found a way to keep the

27
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:55,759
phone from registering a tab every time you merely try to hold the thing though because otherwise i'm gonna feel like i

28
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:57,439
got ripped off when i inevitably import

29
00:01:55,759 --> 00:02:01,280
one from china now depending on where you live you

30
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:05,520
might be used to data caps from your isp and you're almost certainly used to them

31
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:09,280
from your mobile provider but what about from your car

32
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:16,160
well it looks like tesla is imposing a data cap of 50 gigabytes on its vehicles

33
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:18,560
even for drivers who have the premium

34
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:22,319
connectivity package this is quite a change as tesla has traditionally

35
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,080
offered unlimited internet service in its cars for free

36
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:29,920
this might be a way to keep the loads on cell towers under control as tesla

37
00:02:28,239 --> 00:02:34,160
previously announced that built-in support for youtube and netflix

38
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:38,480
streaming is coming soon although guys the car has to be in park

39
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:42,720
for it to work for what i hope are fairly obvious reasons i just can't look

40
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:48,560
away from Linus now it's time for quick bits brought to you by privacy no not

41
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:52,319
the abstract concept privacy.com there are free easy to use service that

42
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,000
hides your credit card number when you shop online so you don't have to worry

43
00:02:54,239 --> 00:03:00,400
about your card falling into the wrong hands when the next massive data breach

44
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,560
happens which is like two or three times a week now privacy

45
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:08,159
works by creating a virtual card number locked to whichever merchant you're

46
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:11,920
shopping at so even if the merchant gets hacked the bad guys can't use the number

47
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:16,319
and even if they try you get a notification so you can cancel your real

48
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:21,920
card privacy uses military-grade encryption two-factor authentication

49
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:24,159
is pci dss compliant and is super easy

50
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:27,680
to set up plus it's free since they make money from the stores not you they'll

51
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:33,200
even give you five bucks if you sign up today at privacy.com

52
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,280
TechLinked like do it

53
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:40,159
onto the butt quacks if you're looking for a short-term job for some extra cash

54
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:44,319
you can now ask alexa or the google assistant to help you get a job at

55
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:49,280
mcdonald's the program is called apply through

56
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:54,959
i love it and it will automatically transfer your

57
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:57,040
information to mcdonald's and tell you

58
00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:00,400
about what kinds of jobs are available with that said you do have to actually

59
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:05,120
complete the application on the mcdonald's website so i'm not really

60
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:10,239
sure how this becomes more efficient by adding another step to

61
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,400
the chain but so kids can apply

62
00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:15,920
if you live in austin texas keep an eye out for more self-driving cars in the

63
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:20,400
near future ford is going to be deploying a fleet of fusion hybrids

64
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:25,360
which sounds a lot more advanced than it is it's just ford fusion hybrid vehicles

65
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:29,919
uh within the next couple of months to collect map data seriously it sounds

66
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:34,240
like like nuclear reactors driving around so the idea is for ford to have

67
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:37,800
its own transportation and delivery service in cities including austin by

68
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:42,240
the end of 2021 so

69
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:47,199
watch out driving services industry because this whole self-driving future

70
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:49,440
is coming sooner than even i thought the

71
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:54,880
impossible burger continues wrapping its plant-based tentacles around america and

72
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:59,440
is now available in 12 ounce packages at grocery stores in the eastern u.s the

73
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:03,600
wegmans chain will now be carrying the meat alternative at all of its locations

74
00:05:01,919 --> 00:05:07,680
while the new york city-based fairway market will have it on offer at two

75
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:13,039
manhattan stores a package will set you back nine bucks which i guess is a small

76
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:16,320
price to pay to taste the future although you probably don't think of

77
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:20,240
high fashion and esports as having much in common

78
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:25,120
no i can't say that i do uh that is apparently about to change as the famed

79
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:27,840
design house louis vuitton is making a

80
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:33,520
custom case for the troph yeah louis who who the hell who else is

81
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:38,160
named louis louis vuitton is making a custom case for the trophy that'll be

82
00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:42,240
given to the winners of the league of legends world championship set to take

83
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:46,320
place in november this apparently isn't the first time that lv has created a

84
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:50,400
trophy case but it's the first one for an esports competition so

85
00:05:48,479 --> 00:05:54,560
maybe we'll see a fortnight team on the cover of gq at some point

86
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:58,240
and if you've ever wanted your very own battle robot that uh oh i thought we

87
00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:03,360
were going to talk about the boston dynamics thing they're robots like do

88
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,360
this now oh wow

89
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:09,919
that moment you realize you're inferior to a robot anyway now's the time for a

90
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:15,680
battle robot the company megabots which previously built a 15-ton fighting robot

91
00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:16,800
for a competition is now selling it on

92
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:21,600
ebay you really can buy anything on ebay at

93
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:25,440
the time of writing bidding was up over a thousand us dollars not including

94
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:29,039
shipping which won't be cheap for something so heavy and while we're at

95
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:33,440
things that won't be cheap maintaining the robot won't be cheap either as it

96
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:37,280
has a tendency to leak hydraulic fluid but hey this could be one small step

97
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:41,360
toward living out your tony stark fantasies speaking of fantasies if you

98
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:47,759
wanted more tech news you're just gonna have to fantasize about it because that's it for today but come back friday

99
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:52,560
for more news fired at you from a battle droid's canon or we could just talk and

100
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:56,960
you can listen the traditional way turns out they are french

101
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:01,479
i looked it up look of course they're french louis vuitton
