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

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:10.000
check on sports oh that team's doing well

00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:14.480
you excited maybe they'll make it to finals mozilla

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:18.400
is the latest victim or perpetrator depending on how you see things in the

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:23.119
culture war between crypto bros and crypto knows the non-profit mozilla

00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:28.800
foundation has accepted donations in bitcoin since 2014 but will now be

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:34.880
pausing that program after user backlash spurred by a co-founder of mozilla jamie

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:36.160
zowinski and peter linz the designer of

00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:40.239
firefox firefox's gecko engine those two

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:44.480
apparently weren't aware of the policy and attacked a tweet posted by mozilla

00:00:42.559 --> 00:00:49.440
on new year's eve reminding people they can donate in cryptocurrency through

00:00:46.559 --> 00:00:52.960
bitpay and i guess i'm confused because i thought everyone was just on the same

00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:56.800
page about nfts being like sort of an interesting idea in theory but pretty

00:00:55.199 --> 00:01:01.840
cringe in practice although james obviously disagrees you're crypto bro

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:05.519
or you crypto oh yeah that's this that's where it

00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:10.960
applies but crypto i thought this whole time the cryptocurrencies were still kind of okay

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

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:20.000
simply an empty vessel for the cultural consciousness who are you sonos sued

00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:23.920
google for patent infringement in 2020 regarding various technologies related

00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:28.159
to wirelessly connected speakers and surprise they actually won which i

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.960
didn't know was possible wouldn't google have blackmailed them with their own

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

00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:40.079
you blackmail me anyways google has already rolled out a

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:43.520
change to its line of nest home speakers that will bring them in compliance with

00:01:41.759 --> 00:01:49.200
the trial ruling and which will also make life much worse for owners of said

00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:51.520
speakers yeah that's me listen really

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

00:01:53.439 --> 00:02:00.079
all right but some users will have to download a separate device utility app

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:04.960
to set up devices and install updates and will no longer be able to adjust

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

00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:13.360
setup or a few units in the living room group you'll have to individually set

00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:16.959
the volume for each of them google says it doesn't expect the ruling to impact

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.599
its ability to import or sell these products and yeah that's incorrect

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

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:30.319
a moment to address a frustrating viral story that has taken off this week

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:35.040
despite my attempts to ignore it see last year they got herpes

00:02:33.519 --> 00:02:39.280
last year norton announced it was including an optional crypto mining

00:02:36.959 --> 00:02:42.879
feature in their suite of anti-virus apps if you could call them that and we

00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:48.080
called it out as kind of dumb at the time but on tuesday corey doctorow an

00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:52.879
activist author and surprisingly not a spider-man villain tweeted that norton

00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:58.239
is sneakily quote installing crypto mining software on computers and

00:02:54.800 --> 00:03:00.560
skimming a commission which it does do

00:02:58.239 --> 00:03:04.080
if you opt in which led everyone on twitter to think that norton was

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:08.560
surreptitiously stealing their users pc performance and profiting from it but

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:11.680
to be clear norton antivirus may be largely unnecessary and extremely

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.599
annoying to uninstall but while the crypto mining app is automatically

00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:18.720
installed it doesn't appear to be doing anything unless you tell it to not

00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:23.360
sneakily it's really the one word there's even a

00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:26.720
way an annoying way but a way to uninstall it now this probably bothers

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:30.959
me more than it does other people because of my now encyclopedic and

00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:34.480
unwanted knowledge of obscure text stories but there it is

00:03:32.799 --> 00:03:39.280
norton now it's time for quick bits brought to you one last time this ces

00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:43.840
week by seasonic the benevolent god of supplying power to pcs i mean look at

00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:47.599
the prime tx 1000 watt power supply it has been blessed with an 80 plus

00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:52.959
titanium efficiency rating just look at it a fully modular design for clean

00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:55.120
cable setups testify fluid dynamic fan

00:03:52.959 --> 00:04:00.879
bearings with hybrid fan control free and a truly exalted 12-year warranty

00:03:58.959 --> 00:04:04.080
on high baby miraculous sea sonic doesn't want you to

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

00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:13.439
sea sonic in your system you're too blessed to be stressed you can't leave

00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:18.320
any quick bits on your plate they're good for you they've got nutrients

00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:23.040
after confirming their next series of desktop processors would use a new not

00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:28.160
backwards compatible socket AMD has said they're looking at enabling support for

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:29.919
current gen ryzen 5000 processors in old

00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:34.800
300 series motherboards some manufacturers enabled ryzen 5000 support

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

00:04:36.880 --> 00:04:42.960
happen on mid-tier b350 and higher-end

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:47.040
x370 boards which would be nice as long as users are ready to ride those parts

00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:50.639
into the ground since there will be no upgrade path sadly the captain should go

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

00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:58.560
band samsung may be looking to extend its lead in the foldable display space

00:04:56.880 --> 00:05:04.000
if some of their wacky prototypes from ces are any indication thanks to object

00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:08.400
mishra we got a look at a slider concept an all screen laptop a number of

00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:12.400
prototypes with tri-folding designs and a speaker with a wrap around display

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

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:20.160
be honest because someone's got to be honest at ces half the things are just

00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:24.479
made in blender they're not real like this

00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:27.759
look at that speaking of phones a bunch of smartphone announcements flew under

00:05:26.080 --> 00:05:31.600
the radar this week because no one cares but they're still kind of interesting

00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:37.840
because they're all running qualcomm's new snapdragon 8 gen 1 chipset there's

00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:40.639
the xiaomi mi 12 pro the real me gt2 pro

00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:44.240
the motorola edge x30 the oppo find x4 the oneplus 10 pro and the iq9 series

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

00:05:46.320 --> 00:05:51.919
dead this year with the events show runners the entertainment software

00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:56.160
association confirming it will exist as a virtual event come june because of

00:05:54.240 --> 00:06:00.479
omicron some industry reporters are calling the esa out though since before

00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:04.960
covet hit e3 was already barely clinging to life and it's

00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:08.479
not clear why they're pretending that's not the case now

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

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

00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:21.360
realest example of air tag abuse yet fashion model brooks nader said thanks

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

00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:28.639
been placed there to stalk her hurst is running as an independent

00:06:27.440 --> 00:06:34.080
meter it's actually happening uh it's

00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:37.840
the trackerpocalypse so i guess all of us Android folks should install apple's

00:06:36.080 --> 00:06:41.680
tracker detect app to stop this from happening to us

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

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

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
