WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.520
set phasers to stun everyone because it's time for the trek news

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

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:16.080
project xcloud game streaming service and now some users are on the verge of

00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:20.320
getting their first glimpse of it although it's still in beta microsoft is

00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:24.480
now accepting applications for public trials which will start next month this

00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:28.960
sounds like a drug rollout anyone can apply though microsoft has said that

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:32.719
actual invites will be limited to a small number of participants

00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:37.440
a couple of big name titles though namely gears of war 5 and halo 5 will

00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:41.280
apparently be available to play for those who are chosen hardware

00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:45.360
requirements aren't too onerous you just need an Android device and an xbox one

00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:49.280
controller that both support bluetooth and currently applications are being

00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:54.320
accepted from the us the uk and south korea so i guess us canadians are

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:56.480
getting the shaft yet again i'm moving

00:00:54.320 --> 00:01:01.359
for being a bunch of hosers right phones and other displays with as little

00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:05.600
bezel as possible are all the rage these days but what about a phone that's

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:10.159
nearly all screen even on the back

00:01:07.119 --> 00:01:11.920
xiaomi is trying to put even the curved

00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:17.600
screens that you see on phones like the samsung galaxy edge to shame with the me

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:21.920
mix alpha the screen wraps almost entirely around the phone's body with

00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:25.920
only a small strip on the back being covered by a camera module volume is

00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:30.560
controlled with a pressure sensitive function on the side and the phone

00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:34.200
includes 5g support and samsung's new

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:36.000
camera sensor that can capture 108

00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:40.079
megapixels although it's a concept at this stage it

00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:45.920
will apparently be sold in limited quantities in china for around 2 800 u.s

00:01:43.759 --> 00:01:48.960
dollars no one is asking for this hopefully they found a way to keep the

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

00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:57.439
got ripped off when i inevitably import

00:01:55.759 --> 00:02:01.280
one from china now depending on where you live you

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

00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:09.280
from your mobile provider but what about from your car

00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:16.160
well it looks like tesla is imposing a data cap of 50 gigabytes on its vehicles

00:02:12.640 --> 00:02:18.560
even for drivers who have the premium

00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:22.319
connectivity package this is quite a change as tesla has traditionally

00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:26.080
offered unlimited internet service in its cars for free

00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:29.920
this might be a way to keep the loads on cell towers under control as tesla

00:02:28.239 --> 00:02:34.160
previously announced that built-in support for youtube and netflix

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:38.480
streaming is coming soon although guys the car has to be in park

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

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

00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:52.319
the abstract concept privacy.com there are free easy to use service that

00:02:50.720 --> 00:02:56.000
hides your credit card number when you shop online so you don't have to worry

00:02:54.239 --> 00:03:00.400
about your card falling into the wrong hands when the next massive data breach

00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:04.560
happens which is like two or three times a week now privacy

00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:08.159
works by creating a virtual card number locked to whichever merchant you're

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

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:16.319
and even if they try you get a notification so you can cancel your real

00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:21.920
card privacy uses military-grade encryption two-factor authentication

00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:24.159
is pci dss compliant and is super easy

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

00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:33.200
even give you five bucks if you sign up today at privacy.com

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:35.280
TechLinked like do it

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

00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:44.319
you can now ask alexa or the google assistant to help you get a job at

00:03:42.799 --> 00:03:49.280
mcdonald's the program is called apply through

00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:54.959
i love it and it will automatically transfer your

00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:57.040
information to mcdonald's and tell you

00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:00.400
about what kinds of jobs are available with that said you do have to actually

00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:05.120
complete the application on the mcdonald's website so i'm not really

00:04:02.959 --> 00:04:10.239
sure how this becomes more efficient by adding another step to

00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:12.400
the chain but so kids can apply

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

00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:20.400
near future ford is going to be deploying a fleet of fusion hybrids

00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:25.360
which sounds a lot more advanced than it is it's just ford fusion hybrid vehicles

00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:29.919
uh within the next couple of months to collect map data seriously it sounds

00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:34.240
like like nuclear reactors driving around so the idea is for ford to have

00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:37.800
its own transportation and delivery service in cities including austin by

00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:42.240
the end of 2021 so

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:47.199
watch out driving services industry because this whole self-driving future

00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:49.440
is coming sooner than even i thought the

00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:54.880
impossible burger continues wrapping its plant-based tentacles around america and

00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:59.440
is now available in 12 ounce packages at grocery stores in the eastern u.s the

00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:03.600
wegmans chain will now be carrying the meat alternative at all of its locations

00:05:01.919 --> 00:05:07.680
while the new york city-based fairway market will have it on offer at two

00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:13.039
manhattan stores a package will set you back nine bucks which i guess is a small

00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:16.320
price to pay to taste the future although you probably don't think of

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:20.240
high fashion and esports as having much in common

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

00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:27.840
design house louis vuitton is making a

00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:33.520
custom case for the troph yeah louis who who the hell who else is

00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:38.160
named louis louis vuitton is making a custom case for the trophy that'll be

00:05:35.919 --> 00:05:42.240
given to the winners of the league of legends world championship set to take

00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:46.320
place in november this apparently isn't the first time that lv has created a

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:50.400
trophy case but it's the first one for an esports competition so

00:05:48.479 --> 00:05:54.560
maybe we'll see a fortnight team on the cover of gq at some point

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

00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:03.360
were going to talk about the boston dynamics thing they're robots like do

00:06:00.400 --> 00:06:03.360
this now oh wow

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

00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:15.680
battle robot the company megabots which previously built a 15-ton fighting robot

00:06:12.479 --> 00:06:16.800
for a competition is now selling it on

00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:21.600
ebay you really can buy anything on ebay at

00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:25.440
the time of writing bidding was up over a thousand us dollars not including

00:06:23.919 --> 00:06:29.039
shipping which won't be cheap for something so heavy and while we're at

00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:33.440
things that won't be cheap maintaining the robot won't be cheap either as it

00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:37.280
has a tendency to leak hydraulic fluid but hey this could be one small step

00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:41.360
toward living out your tony stark fantasies speaking of fantasies if you

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

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

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:56.960
you can listen the traditional way turns out they are french

00:06:55.520 --> 00:07:01.479
i looked it up look of course they're french louis vuitton
