1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,040
with ces all done i'm gonna take a much needed break from tech news maybe i'll

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:10,000
check on sports oh that team's doing well

3
00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:14,480
you excited maybe they'll make it to finals mozilla

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,400
is the latest victim or perpetrator depending on how you see things in the

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:23,119
culture war between crypto bros and crypto knows the non-profit mozilla

6
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:28,800
foundation has accepted donations in bitcoin since 2014 but will now be

7
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:34,880
pausing that program after user backlash spurred by a co-founder of mozilla jamie

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,160
zowinski and peter linz the designer of

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:40,239
firefox firefox's gecko engine those two

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,480
apparently weren't aware of the policy and attacked a tweet posted by mozilla

11
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:49,440
on new year's eve reminding people they can donate in cryptocurrency through

12
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:52,960
bitpay and i guess i'm confused because i thought everyone was just on the same

13
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,800
page about nfts being like sort of an interesting idea in theory but pretty

14
00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:01,840
cringe in practice although james obviously disagrees you're crypto bro

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,519
or you crypto oh yeah that's this that's where it

16
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:10,960
applies but crypto i thought this whole time the cryptocurrencies were still kind of okay

17
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:15,119
so where are we at let me know i need to know where i can't write the jokes i'm

18
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:20,000
simply an empty vessel for the cultural consciousness who are you sonos sued

19
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:23,920
google for patent infringement in 2020 regarding various technologies related

20
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:28,159
to wirelessly connected speakers and surprise they actually won which i

21
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,960
didn't know was possible wouldn't google have blackmailed them with their own

22
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:35,840
data or something isn't this what we're freaking out about if i sued you would

23
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:40,079
you blackmail me anyways google has already rolled out a

24
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:43,520
change to its line of nest home speakers that will bring them in compliance with

25
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:49,200
the trial ruling and which will also make life much worse for owners of said

26
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:51,520
speakers yeah that's me listen really

27
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:55,360
i google home do you have them in groups not really oh watch okay you might be

28
00:01:53,439 --> 00:02:00,079
all right but some users will have to download a separate device utility app

29
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,960
to set up devices and install updates and will no longer be able to adjust

30
00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:09,360
volume for a group of speakers all at once oh my god so if you've got a stereo

31
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:13,360
setup or a few units in the living room group you'll have to individually set

32
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:16,959
the volume for each of them google says it doesn't expect the ruling to impact

33
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:21,599
its ability to import or sell these products and yeah that's incorrect

34
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:26,239
it's impacting me right now i'm not going to do it and i'd like to take

35
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,319
a moment to address a frustrating viral story that has taken off this week

36
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:35,040
despite my attempts to ignore it see last year they got herpes

37
00:02:33,519 --> 00:02:39,280
last year norton announced it was including an optional crypto mining

38
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:42,879
feature in their suite of anti-virus apps if you could call them that and we

39
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:48,080
called it out as kind of dumb at the time but on tuesday corey doctorow an

40
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,879
activist author and surprisingly not a spider-man villain tweeted that norton

41
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:58,239
is sneakily quote installing crypto mining software on computers and

42
00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:00,560
skimming a commission which it does do

43
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:04,080
if you opt in which led everyone on twitter to think that norton was

44
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:08,560
surreptitiously stealing their users pc performance and profiting from it but

45
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,680
to be clear norton antivirus may be largely unnecessary and extremely

46
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,599
annoying to uninstall but while the crypto mining app is automatically

47
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,720
installed it doesn't appear to be doing anything unless you tell it to not

48
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:23,360
sneakily it's really the one word there's even a

49
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:26,720
way an annoying way but a way to uninstall it now this probably bothers

50
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,959
me more than it does other people because of my now encyclopedic and

51
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:34,480
unwanted knowledge of obscure text stories but there it is

52
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:39,280
norton now it's time for quick bits brought to you one last time this ces

53
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:43,840
week by seasonic the benevolent god of supplying power to pcs i mean look at

54
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:47,599
the prime tx 1000 watt power supply it has been blessed with an 80 plus

55
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:52,959
titanium efficiency rating just look at it a fully modular design for clean

56
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:55,120
cable setups testify fluid dynamic fan

57
00:03:52,959 --> 00:04:00,879
bearings with hybrid fan control free and a truly exalted 12-year warranty

58
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:04,080
on high baby miraculous sea sonic doesn't want you to

59
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:09,760
pledge your life to them or anything they just want you to check them out at seasonic.com or at the links below put a

60
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:13,439
sea sonic in your system you're too blessed to be stressed you can't leave

61
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:18,320
any quick bits on your plate they're good for you they've got nutrients

62
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:23,040
after confirming their next series of desktop processors would use a new not

63
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:28,160
backwards compatible socket AMD has said they're looking at enabling support for

64
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,919
current gen ryzen 5000 processors in old

65
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:34,800
300 series motherboards some manufacturers enabled ryzen 5000 support

66
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:40,000
in some lower end a320 boards but it'll be up to AMD to allow the same thing to

67
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:42,960
happen on mid-tier b350 and higher-end

68
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:47,040
x370 boards which would be nice as long as users are ready to ride those parts

69
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:50,639
into the ground since there will be no upgrade path sadly the captain should go

70
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,560
down with their ship that's just the way it doesn't need to make sense and the

71
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:58,560
band samsung may be looking to extend its lead in the foldable display space

72
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:04,000
if some of their wacky prototypes from ces are any indication thanks to object

73
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:08,400
mishra we got a look at a slider concept an all screen laptop a number of

74
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:12,400
prototypes with tri-folding designs and a speaker with a wrap around display

75
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,759
that can fold out into a flat one that that one's kind of dumb that's i got to

76
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:20,160
be honest because someone's got to be honest at ces half the things are just

77
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:24,479
made in blender they're not real like this

78
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,759
look at that speaking of phones a bunch of smartphone announcements flew under

79
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:31,600
the radar this week because no one cares but they're still kind of interesting

80
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:37,840
because they're all running qualcomm's new snapdragon 8 gen 1 chipset there's

81
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:40,639
the xiaomi mi 12 pro the real me gt2 pro

82
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:44,240
the motorola edge x30 the oppo find x4 the oneplus 10 pro and the iq9 series

83
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:48,160
yeah i don't care i was right the first time e3 will once again continue playing

84
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:51,919
dead this year with the events show runners the entertainment software

85
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:56,160
association confirming it will exist as a virtual event come june because of

86
00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:00,479
omicron some industry reporters are calling the esa out though since before

87
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:04,960
covet hit e3 was already barely clinging to life and it's

88
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,479
not clear why they're pretending that's not the case now

89
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:12,639
we were totally gonna have an event guys we're to a we were it's just because of

90
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:17,120
kovid we swear it's got some real i'm not dead yet and then perhaps the

91
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:21,360
realest example of air tag abuse yet fashion model brooks nader said thanks

92
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:25,360
to an alert from her iphone she found an air tag in her coat that had apparently

93
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,639
been placed there to stalk her hurst is running as an independent

94
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:34,080
meter it's actually happening uh it's

95
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:37,840
the trackerpocalypse so i guess all of us Android folks should install apple's

96
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,680
tracker detect app to stop this from happening to us

97
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:46,400
wait a second is this apple's way of getting an app on all of our phones and

98
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:51,039
you could use some more tech news but not until monday come back then to get a

99
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,720
refill but it's the weekend and ces is over hey i'll see you at the after party
