1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,200
whoa guys let's just take a deep breath before we get upset

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:10,960
it's just tech news okay this intro is brought to you by they're just movies

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,759
the podcast we just did squid game that's not a movie we're doing june next

4
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:17,680
week that's not a movie either okay it's a

5
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:22,000
lifestyle whatever works blockchain technology we love it it's on the rise

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,080
but apparently valve isn't a fan yesterday the pc gaming giant banned all

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:29,439
steam games that use blockchain technology they didn't make a big deal

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:33,600
about it though the change was spotted by age of rus developer space pirate

9
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:37,680
games who tweeted about a new entry in steam's rules and guidelines section

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:44,360
banning applications built on blockchain technology that issue or allow exchange

11
00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:44,360
of cryptocurrencies or nfts

12
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:50,239
pictures gameplay in age of rust involves solving puzzles to collect nfts

13
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:54,239
so they're obviously not too jazzed about the decision but for valve this is

14
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:58,640
less about staying in the stone age and more about blocking in-game items that

15
00:00:56,239 --> 00:01:03,199
have real world value since that's what got them caught up in a legal snafu i

16
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:08,640
love the word snafu over gambling laws in 2018. so lame valve will i get the

17
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:12,479
thrill of playing the nft market except literally anywhere else on the

18
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:17,280
internet nft after htc's vive flow vr headset leaked

19
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:21,280
earlier this week the company officially unveiled it yesterday answering all of

20
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:25,280
our burning questions like were most or all of those press images of people

21
00:01:23,119 --> 00:01:29,520
happily using the headset photoshopped the answer is yes most or all of them

22
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:34,560
were turns out the flow is intended for media playback and very simple vr apps

23
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,759
use an Android phone as the controller and it can't run for more than a few

24
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:42,000
minutes without being plugged into a battery pack that's the way i

25
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:46,479
it honestly seems like a google daydream view or an oculus go

26
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:50,960
but worse if that's possible also worse is this tweet from the

27
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:55,200
president of htc china asking facebook's andrew bosworth affectionately known as

28
00:01:52,960 --> 00:02:01,200
boss if he'd like to trade oculus's lightweight vr prototype for a vive flow

29
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:05,759
a deal boss rejects don't fight guys no one wants either of

30
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:10,080
these although i might be speaking too soon the us army just delayed their

31
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:14,400
testing at microsoft's hololens to make sure it can meet requirements and i mean

32
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:18,000
that thing's been it's like 20 years old at this point so maybe htc is involved

33
00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:24,080
somehow certainly not and the internet hasn't had a good ok

34
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:28,480
boomer moment for some time thankfully the governor of missouri has stepped up

35
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:33,920
governor mike parson which is a very boomery name has threatened to sue the

36
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,840
st louis post dispatch for hacking after

37
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:39,519
they published a story about a security flaw found in the state's public records

38
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:43,920
database the flaw made the social security numbers of education workers

39
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:48,959
visible simply by inspecting the site's html source code which can be done by

40
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:53,760
pressing f12 what you can also right-click i'm a hacker i knew it

41
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,120
i've been blackhead this whole time making the story even more amazing is

42
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:01,280
the fact that this flaw was reported to the state many years ago and the post

43
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:06,400
dispatch held off on publishing the story until officials could remove the

44
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,560
affected web pages to be fair i get how

45
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:13,840
governor parson wasn't able to parse how all all this works in his mind

46
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:17,920
the internet's just a series of tubes y'all went down the wrong tube we only

47
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:23,120
go through some tubes in missouri now it's time for the quick bits brought to

48
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:25,760
you by the MSI spatium m480 SSD built on

49
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:31,200
PCIe and NVMe the m480 can achieve sequential reads of up to 7000 megabytes

50
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:33,120
per second and writes up to 68 000 but a

51
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,560
super fast car needs to be super safe which is why this drive has built-in

52
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:42,239
data security with error correction capabilities with capacities from 500

53
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:44,159
gigabytes to 2 terabytes in the m.2 2280

54
00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:49,040
form factor it's suitable for both desktops and notebooks and a tree house

55
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:53,360
or wherever you want to be plus it comes with a 5 year warranty learn more about

56
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:57,760
the spatium m480 SSD at the link below what do you mean you don't know what

57
00:03:54,879 --> 00:04:01,519
quick bits are we do this every time many customers are visible a wireless

58
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:05,280
provider owned by verizon reported that their accounts were hacked this week

59
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,319
leading to fraudulent purchases and changed passwords

60
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:15,439
millennial hacked visible blamed reused passwords from outside sources for the

61
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:19,440
hack but also admitted to experiencing technical issues with its platform last

62
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:23,680
week so while visible may have screwed up here the real takeaway is use a

63
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:26,560
password manager and two-factor

64
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,880
the authentication one two three four no

65
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,880
after best buy essentially locked the ability to purchase a ps5 behind a 200

66
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:41,759
pay wall scout buy sony has decided enough is

67
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:46,400
enough and now they're offering a direct buy option this is revolutionary they're

68
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:51,040
vertically integrated this is crazy psn account owners can register to buy a

69
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:54,880
single console only on playstation's website and will be selected based on

70
00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:59,520
their previous interests and playstation activities wow i never thought a stock

71
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:04,320
shortage would lead to another gamer gate keeping we're gatekeeping

72
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:09,680
who gets to buy only true fans can buy a ps5 can you do the playstation thing

73
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:13,600
no playstation roblox is weathering some player backlash after announcing a

74
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:18,240
number of upcoming changes including a ban on the use of vpns and the addition

75
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:22,160
of realistic player avatars with reactive facial expressions

76
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:26,880
i have a canker sore i have to eat like this i get the pushback because as far as i

77
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:31,199
understand roblox is supposed to be kind of ugly so if your realistic face is

78
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:34,479
pretty it's no bueno it fulfills the deep need in all of us to have to

79
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:39,039
inhibit the body of something that looks like a mutated lego person it's

80
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,680
fundamental that hair just clicks on do i really am

81
00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:50,080
yes i wish a new phone called the zimbezi z2 it's a

82
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:53,919
phone made by an la-based company that's designed to share the profits from the

83
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:58,639
sale of your personal data with you for a change

84
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:03,039
the zim beezy is that what is it i don't know i don't know the zimbzz2

85
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:06,560
will go for 550 sporting some real mid-range specs but

86
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:10,720
don't worry you'll make your money back in no time with every piece of your soul

87
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:14,400
you sell to advertisers honestly i may prefer that they have my data if it

88
00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:18,560
means i can pronounce the name of my phone

89
00:06:15,919 --> 00:06:22,080
and it's happened they put a gun on spot okay it's not actually spot from boston

90
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:26,960
dynamics but it's a very similarly designed dog robot robot dog called

91
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:30,960
qugv from ghost robotics who recently showed

92
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:35,680
off models equipped with both a sniper rifle and a spy drone we now live in a

93
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:39,520
world with flying robot sniper spy dogs in hindsight it was inevitable

94
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:44,560
they're still good boys and this episode's ending is inevitable so come

95
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:52,560
back on monday with more tech news more good boys and everything will just be

96
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:52,560
fine just fine not if those dogs show up
