1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,880
oh hey how's it going oh

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:07,919
i see how it is you just want me for my tech news james

3
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:13,360
you like me oh okay you'd think that by now companies

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:17,680
would have learned not to use words like unhackable to describe their products

5
00:00:15,519 --> 00:00:23,359
because to no one's surprise NVIDIA's unhackable mining limiter for its new

6
00:00:19,439 --> 00:00:25,680
rtx 3060 gpus hasn't been hacked per se

7
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:29,519
but a smart person has found a way around it this is the second time a

8
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:34,000
smart person did this no because of this

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:36,160
a beta driver leaked for the rtx 3060

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,840
and one user was able to remove NVIDIA's restrictions on ethereum mining without

11
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:44,320
messing with the BIOS or having to do anything especially difficult apparently

12
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:48,559
this method gets the hash rate to above 40 mega hashes per second well above

13
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:52,239
what the limiter allows NVIDIA has already taken down the driver but there

14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:56,960
are surely plenty of copies floating around out there in the interweb now

15
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:01,920
it's been released so if you're a gamer who's also a miner good news for you if

16
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:04,879
you're just a person who minds stop it

17
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:08,080
stop that gamers only club

18
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:12,240
you know how google chrome is a notorious memory hog well google has

19
00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:15,920
been well aware of that for some time and now the company thinks it has a

20
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:21,040
pretty solid way to address the issue chrome version 89 has apparently slashed

21
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:23,439
RAM usage on Windows by as much as 22 percent

22
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:29,600
and if you're using a mac the company says that the improvements pushed the

23
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:34,000
apple energy impact score down by as much as 65 yeah yeah

24
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:37,920
i don't even know that score was a thing i wonder what mine is so hopefully the

25
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:41,680
battery on your macbook won't crap out on you as quickly google didn't forget

26
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:45,439
about Android either as the new version features something called freeze-dried

27
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:50,640
tabs sounds not great not very delicious

28
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:54,960
that take up far less memory but allowed you to zoom and click on links that

29
00:01:53,360 --> 00:02:01,119
sounds a heck of a lot better than that freeze-dried moon cheese i was talked in

30
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:03,040
to buy from walmart p.u i don't

31
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:08,119
what is that is that like a

32
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:08,119
dakotan thing

33
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:14,400
from dakota north carolina

34
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,520
sorry if you live in the u.s and you're tired of the limited choices available

35
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,720
when it comes to wired home internet service there might be another option on

36
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:25,280
the horizon verizon

37
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:29,200
is expanding its 5g home internet service to another 10 cities across the

38
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:33,280
country before the end of this month las vegas charlotte san diego cleveland

39
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:37,599
cincinnati kansas city salt lake city hartford omaha and louisville i might go

40
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:40,560
to one of those one day although theoretically the service

41
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:44,560
offers speeds up to one gigabit the provider says 300 megabits per second is

42
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:49,120
closer to what you can realistically expect it's fine

43
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:52,959
in case you're not familiar with 5g it's an entirely wireless connection so it

44
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:57,440
shouldn't be too hard to set up on your own but hopefully you won't need to

45
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:01,120
stick aluminum foil on the antenna but you might want to anyways for

46
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,560
aesthetics now it's time for quick bits brought to you by the drop alt

47
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:08,800
mechanical keyboard it's based on drop's top selling control keyboard

48
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:15,360
drop removed the function row shrinking the design from 87 keys down to 67 built

49
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:19,360
it with a solid aluminum frame and hot swap switch sockets and made it fully

50
00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:24,239
programmable so you can remap and assign keybinds to every key the alt keyboard

51
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,920
also has a fully customizable RGB backlight and under lighting so everyone

52
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:33,519
who sees it will know you have sick gamer cred when we're allowed in other people's houses again via drop alt

53
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:37,840
mechanical keyboard using our code freecaps and you'll get a free set of

54
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:41,440
skylight keycaps see how that works so check it out at the link below i bet you

55
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:46,000
didn't even know it was the quick bits time now surprise

56
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:49,840
if you were on twitter yesterday discussing anything related to a certain

57
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:54,080
city in western tennessee you might have found yourself inexplicably banned a

58
00:03:52,239 --> 00:03:58,480
situation exacerbated by the fact that the city's nba team had a game yesterday

59
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:03,040
and the fact sports fans were discussing the ncaa tigers tournament chances ahead

60
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:07,920
of the bracket reveal my way back on twitter this is my way my chance

61
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,840
what the cause was apparently a bug in twitter's code not related to any actual

62
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:17,120
goings on in memphis and has since been resolved so so feel free to talk about

63
00:04:14,239 --> 00:04:20,639
elvis and dry rub ribs once again careful though that sounds like you

64
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:26,080
could get banned for that still amazon is reportedly significantly expanding fc

65
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:29,120
games its in-house system to gamify the workday for employees in their

66
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:32,400
warehouses although the games are reportedly not all that great

67
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:36,000
unsurprisingly it gives the workers something to do during long shifts

68
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,840
though the concern is that the games encourage workers to speed up tasks

69
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:44,160
which might increase errors or even make it more likely employees could get

70
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:48,639
injured thankfully there's a whole bunch of people out there who could replace

71
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:53,040
them no problem elon musk may be one of the world's richest people but that

72
00:04:50,479 --> 00:04:58,000
title clearly isn't enough for him as he's reportedly restyled himself the

73
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:04,639
techno king of tesla instead of merely being ceo cool he's

74
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:09,199
also bestowed the title master of coin onto tesla's cfo for good measure are

75
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:12,160
these official what or is this just like a twitter joke i bet he doesn't even

76
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:16,000
listen to technology you're not the techno king

77
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,600
no word yet on whether these titles will be added to the end of every company

78
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:24,080
email they send out but we'll let you know the head of a canadian company that

79
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:28,479
sold phones with customized encryption is in extremely hot water with the us

80
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:33,120
federal government the company sky global is accused of selling devices to

81
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,960
drug traffickers to help them conceal their activities however authorities in

82
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:40,560
europe ended up decrypting about a billion text messages sent over the

83
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:44,320
network anyhow settle down us you literally sell guns

84
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:48,800
sky global ceo and an associate are facing charges under the ricoh act so

85
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:53,039
yeah remember that bit we said earlier about trusting things advertised as

86
00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:57,280
unhackable don't do that the rico act is used to take down mafia

87
00:05:55,199 --> 00:06:01,440
people a lot did you know that thanks netflix documentaries and here's

88
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:06,080
a story that's straight out of a 2016 drama a mom in pennsylvania is facing

89
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:10,639
charges after she allegedly used deep faked photos and videos of her

90
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:15,280
daughter's cheerleading squad teammates in order to get them kicked out the deep

91
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:19,680
fakes show the victims engaged in unbecoming conduct but it looks like the

92
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:25,520
joke is on the mother after cops traced her ip address who is this mom who

93
00:06:22,479 --> 00:06:27,360
allowed her to have children

94
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:31,039
to top it all off the cheerleading team is called the victory vipers so maybe

95
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:34,560
we'll see them in a dodgeball sequel after all this is cleared up i don't

96
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:39,360
want that and who allowed us to continue this episode for so long ah it's done

97
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:45,919
now come back wednesday where the tech news will keep flowing all the way down

98
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,919
until the next time
