hey Tech news fans are you ready to sweat ready bring in the tech news one 2
3 other side one two this thing's too
heavy I can't do it I'm done I'm done oh man good thing I have these new LTT
sweatbands to absorb all my moisture LTT Store.com Facebook is trying to find out
just how badly their social media platforms can screw up people's opinions
so they're paying select users to deactivate their Facebook or Instagram
accounts during the upcoming US presidential election okay oo these
users political opinions will presumably be surveyed and compared to users with
active accounts to determine whether there's any correlation causation or
Cremation of the brain that
is related to what they did or did not see on
Facebook wow yeah science science wow
the study is part of an initiative involving 17 independent researchers
that definitely don't want to have a vested interest and making Facebook look
good sorry just kidding they do sorry I
just can't help but think that Facebook won't be the one to hold Facebook
accountable Germany however is trying to do that after Regulators Express
concerns about Oculus users requiring a
Facebook login to use their devices Facebook stops sales in the country
apparently to avoid legal issues let's hope Germany prompts a reverse course
from Facebook on this one and Schnell quick fast yeah there he goes Schnell I
know my somech yeah deuts Nintendo is
celebrating Mario's 35th Anniversary with some frankly weird announcements
this is Nintendo we're talking about I guess they are into mushrooms it's me
Mario the first is Mario Kart live home circuit which will let you drive a
physical RC car around your house controlled through your Nintendo switch
other virtual players power-ups and environments will be overlaid on the
real world cool Nintendo also remastered Super Mario 64 Super Mario Sunshine and
Super Mario Galaxy and we'll be selling them together in the Super Mario 3D
Allstars bundle only until March 31st
2021 for some reason for some I'm sure they have a reason yeah that one was
almost pretty normal you got to add in unnecessary limited availability to make
it weird yeah and there's also an official Battle Royale version of Mario
called Super Mario Bros 35 which is a
lot like Tetris 99 except with only 30
before other players lot less Royale yeah more winning this one comes a
little while after Nintendo took down the fan-made Mario Royale that frankly
looked way cooler with 100 Marios running around the screen look I love
Nintendo as much as the next guy okay but they seem to be convinced we still
live in the90s I wish I know right if only and I hope you didn't forget about
space cuz there's a lot of stuffs going on up there SpaceX just performed their
second successful hop test for the Starship engine it looks just like a
flying trash can right now sure but we're going to need someplace to put our
garbage on Mars so that's fine yeah who
who needs to recycle exactly the company also launched their 12th batch of
starlink satellites claiming they can provide download speeds faster than 100
megabits per second per second Riley wow
meanwhile rocket lab disclosed that the last launch of their electron rocket
actually carried a secret payload in orbit the photon mini Rocket which
doubles as a satellite and payload booster a future version of the little
guy could one day just fly itself to the Moon oh wow or keep other spacecraft
company up there like the dog of satellites satellites best friend and
China has launched a reusable experimental spacecraft into orbit it's
unclear what it actually is but their speculation is similar to the US Air
Force's X-37B space plane which is also
mysterious in fact we have no idea what
any of those things do in space because we've never ever been there yeah so
let's let's just move on let's move on to Earth things yeah bring it back down
to the quick bits quick bits Haya the FCC said today that it would
cost the US government 1.83 7 billion to
replace all the Huawei and ZTE equipment from telecommunications networks across
the country as of now Congress hasn't approved funding to start that process
but once they do the US will finally be free of anything made in China there's
no more things got it it's no no more
made in China where I don't see it it's all made in China T-Mobile said if their
merger with Sprint was allowed to proceed they provide internet to 10
million homes with students who need it for school the merger was approved so
now they've provided more details on the plan eligible households will get free
access to up to 100 gab of data per year
wow that might be like one Zoom call a month but it's better than nothing see
we'll get what we need if we just let the corporations do what they want
that's called fairness economics 101 oh
thanks gold you're welcome Logitech has announced playm an advanced skill-based
training program backed by science that will help noobs get good at csgo noobs
like me the beta is available now so go try it out if you're tired of getting
wrecked in every match both gameplay-wise and verbally I've learned
so much about my mom she's a great person Riley Team Fortress 2 has been
ravaged by cheaters recently and some players have had enough so they've
created Bots that also cheat but only
target the cheaters that's right there's
no way this ends in a situation where the cheaters then create Bots that
Target those Bots and ask why they're fighting each other and turn on their
creators not going to happen it's not it's not likely Could Happen though and
what would you take if you had to be stranded on a deserted island maybe the
right answer is a Game Boy that runs without a battery who hold on that just
blew my brain like this one created by Jasper dewinkle a computer sciencetist
from the Del University of Technology it gets energy from a few tiny solar panels
and button presses if you do nothing for about 10 seconds it'll shut off and wake
again once you press some buttons and it plays Real Game Boy games it's almost
weird enough to be something Nintendo would actually make themselves for like
2 seconds and then take it back and then release another thing you have to buy
that's it for this one guys come back on Monday for some more sweaty Tech news
