WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.880
oh hey how's it going oh

00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:07.919
i see how it is you just want me for my tech news james

00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:13.360
you like me oh okay you'd think that by now companies

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:17.680
would have learned not to use words like unhackable to describe their products

00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:23.359
because to no one's surprise NVIDIA's unhackable mining limiter for its new

00:00:19.439 --> 00:00:25.680
rtx 3060 gpus hasn't been hacked per se

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:29.519
but a smart person has found a way around it this is the second time a

00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:34.000
smart person did this no because of this

00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:36.160
a beta driver leaked for the rtx 3060

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:39.840
and one user was able to remove NVIDIA's restrictions on ethereum mining without

00:00:38.239 --> 00:00:44.320
messing with the BIOS or having to do anything especially difficult apparently

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:48.559
this method gets the hash rate to above 40 mega hashes per second well above

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:52.239
what the limiter allows NVIDIA has already taken down the driver but there

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:56.960
are surely plenty of copies floating around out there in the interweb now

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

00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:04.879
you're just a person who minds stop it

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:08.080
stop that gamers only club

00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:12.240
you know how google chrome is a notorious memory hog well google has

00:01:10.479 --> 00:01:15.920
been well aware of that for some time and now the company thinks it has a

00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:21.040
pretty solid way to address the issue chrome version 89 has apparently slashed

00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:23.439
RAM usage on Windows by as much as 22 percent

00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:29.600
and if you're using a mac the company says that the improvements pushed the

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:34.000
apple energy impact score down by as much as 65 yeah yeah

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

00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:41.680
battery on your macbook won't crap out on you as quickly google didn't forget

00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:45.439
about Android either as the new version features something called freeze-dried

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:50.640
tabs sounds not great not very delicious

00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:54.960
that take up far less memory but allowed you to zoom and click on links that

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

00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:03.040
to buy from walmart p.u i don't

00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:08.119
what is that is that like a

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:08.119
dakotan thing

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:14.400
from dakota north carolina

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

00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:20.720
when it comes to wired home internet service there might be another option on

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:25.280
the horizon verizon

00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:29.200
is expanding its 5g home internet service to another 10 cities across the

00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:33.280
country before the end of this month las vegas charlotte san diego cleveland

00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:37.599
cincinnati kansas city salt lake city hartford omaha and louisville i might go

00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:40.560
to one of those one day although theoretically the service

00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:44.560
offers speeds up to one gigabit the provider says 300 megabits per second is

00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:49.120
closer to what you can realistically expect it's fine

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:52.959
in case you're not familiar with 5g it's an entirely wireless connection so it

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

00:02:54.720 --> 00:03:01.120
stick aluminum foil on the antenna but you might want to anyways for

00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:04.560
aesthetics now it's time for quick bits brought to you by the drop alt

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:08.800
mechanical keyboard it's based on drop's top selling control keyboard

00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:15.360
drop removed the function row shrinking the design from 87 keys down to 67 built

00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:19.360
it with a solid aluminum frame and hot swap switch sockets and made it fully

00:03:17.519 --> 00:03:24.239
programmable so you can remap and assign keybinds to every key the alt keyboard

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:27.920
also has a fully customizable RGB backlight and under lighting so everyone

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

00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:37.840
mechanical keyboard using our code freecaps and you'll get a free set of

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

00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:46.000
didn't even know it was the quick bits time now surprise

00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:49.840
if you were on twitter yesterday discussing anything related to a certain

00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:54.080
city in western tennessee you might have found yourself inexplicably banned a

00:03:52.239 --> 00:03:58.480
situation exacerbated by the fact that the city's nba team had a game yesterday

00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:03.040
and the fact sports fans were discussing the ncaa tigers tournament chances ahead

00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:07.920
of the bracket reveal my way back on twitter this is my way my chance

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:11.840
what the cause was apparently a bug in twitter's code not related to any actual

00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:17.120
goings on in memphis and has since been resolved so so feel free to talk about

00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:20.639
elvis and dry rub ribs once again careful though that sounds like you

00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:26.080
could get banned for that still amazon is reportedly significantly expanding fc

00:04:23.280 --> 00:04:29.120
games its in-house system to gamify the workday for employees in their

00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:32.400
warehouses although the games are reportedly not all that great

00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:36.000
unsurprisingly it gives the workers something to do during long shifts

00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:39.840
though the concern is that the games encourage workers to speed up tasks

00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:44.160
which might increase errors or even make it more likely employees could get

00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:48.639
injured thankfully there's a whole bunch of people out there who could replace

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:53.040
them no problem elon musk may be one of the world's richest people but that

00:04:50.479 --> 00:04:58.000
title clearly isn't enough for him as he's reportedly restyled himself the

00:04:55.520 --> 00:05:04.639
techno king of tesla instead of merely being ceo cool he's

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:09.199
also bestowed the title master of coin onto tesla's cfo for good measure are

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

00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:16.000
listen to technology you're not the techno king

00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:19.600
no word yet on whether these titles will be added to the end of every company

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

00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:28.479
sold phones with customized encryption is in extremely hot water with the us

00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:33.120
federal government the company sky global is accused of selling devices to

00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:36.960
drug traffickers to help them conceal their activities however authorities in

00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:40.560
europe ended up decrypting about a billion text messages sent over the

00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:44.320
network anyhow settle down us you literally sell guns

00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:48.800
sky global ceo and an associate are facing charges under the ricoh act so

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:53.039
yeah remember that bit we said earlier about trusting things advertised as

00:05:50.479 --> 00:05:57.280
unhackable don't do that the rico act is used to take down mafia

00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:01.440
people a lot did you know that thanks netflix documentaries and here's

00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:06.080
a story that's straight out of a 2016 drama a mom in pennsylvania is facing

00:06:03.840 --> 00:06:10.639
charges after she allegedly used deep faked photos and videos of her

00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:15.280
daughter's cheerleading squad teammates in order to get them kicked out the deep

00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:19.680
fakes show the victims engaged in unbecoming conduct but it looks like the

00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:25.520
joke is on the mother after cops traced her ip address who is this mom who

00:06:22.479 --> 00:06:27.360
allowed her to have children

00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:31.039
to top it all off the cheerleading team is called the victory vipers so maybe

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

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

00:06:36.880 --> 00:06:45.919
now come back wednesday where the tech news will keep flowing all the way down

00:06:42.080 --> 00:06:45.919
until the next time
