00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,920
there's news of a rampage this weekend but not the kind where you go to a club

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:11,840
and like fist pump to some bad edm i'm talking

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,759
about rampage the security vulnerability

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:18,720
which was just discovered and affects most Android devices dating back to

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:23,519
2012. the bug got its name from the fact that it relies on a flaw in Android's

6
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:30,160
memory management subsystem that could allow an attacker to peek at sensitive

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:33,360
data or even take control of the device

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:36,559
the underlying idea is pretty simple RAM

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:39,280
page oh that's where it came from

10
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:44,640
rights to one row of memory over and over again in hopes of getting a bit in

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,760
the next row to flip a vulnerability

12
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:50,000
inherent to modern forms of very tightly

13
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:55,440
packed memory however even though rampage is making headlines today the

14
00:00:52,800 --> 00:01:00,719
odds of that kind of an attack flipping a bit that could allow for unprivileged

15
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:03,600
access is exceedingly low you'd actually have a better shot of winning the

16
00:01:02,239 --> 00:01:07,760
lottery google has developed a remarkably

17
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:12,479
human-sounding ai that you can have a real phone conversation with at least if

18
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,799
you're a restaurant employee the public got its first look at the new

19
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:21,040
google duplex recently which google demonstrated as a kind of personal

20
00:01:19,119 --> 00:01:25,680
secretary that could make calls on your behalf to set up or cancel appointments

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:29,600
and reservations after asking your google assistant to

22
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:33,840
take care of making the call for you it should in theory ring up the restaurant

23
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:37,600
or business in question and make your reservation by talking to whatever

24
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:42,000
carbon-based life form picks up the phone on the other end not only can

25
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:47,119
duplex ai handle questions from the person like uh if an alternative

26
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:53,520
reservation time is okay it'll also interject with ums and yeahs to help the

27
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:57,600
conversation flow more naturally i think mark zuckerberg would be jealous

28
00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:02,320
your data might be getting a little safer if you're a california resident as

29
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:07,680
governor jerry brown just signed the california consumer privacy act into law

30
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:13,280
this is the strictest legal protection of its kind in the u.s the upshot is

31
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:18,319
that it makes it much more difficult for businesses to sell consumer information

32
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:24,480
to third parties as consumers will have the right to ask companies what personal

33
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:26,879
data they have and order them to not

34
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:31,680
sell it businesses will also be barred from charging customers additional money

35
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:38,480
to make up for lost revenue from selling the data or from withholding services

36
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:39,360
as a huge surprise to everyone who had

37
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,480
no ability to recognize patterns whatsoever

38
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:49,440
tech giants like google uber microsoft verizon and amazon all spent money

39
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:54,160
opposing the law's passage saying that it would hurt their bank excuse me their

40
00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:58,800
innovation now it's time for rapid

41
00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:03,280

49
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:38,319
so are you interested in that 32 core AMD Threadripper that showed up at

50
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:43,519
computex this month well we've finally gotten what might be some pricing

51
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,720
information as german retailer cyberport

52
00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:51,840
has listed the chip at around 1500 euros or

53
00:03:49,239 --> 00:03:56,480
1750 us dollars now yes that is still cheaper than

54
00:03:53,760 --> 00:04:01,920
Intel's top end model which is only 18 cores so it looks like AMD's strategy is

55
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:05,200
still to keep undercutting Intel like a salad shooter in a basement kitchen

56
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:09,519
get it undercutting oh wow that's awful but

57
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,840
it'll still be costing you a pretty benny speaking of costing a pretty penny

58
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:18,400
razer is releasing a new series of keyboards featuring optical switches

59
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:22,000
which have only recently been seen on keyboards from companies like bloody and

60
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:26,320
mooting the huntsman keyboard line will have a

61
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:31,280
one and a half millimeter actuation point and razer is touting a longer

62
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:37,759
lifespan than regular mechanical switches and hoping that the 150 to 200

63
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:43,520
dollar price tag won't stop gamers from thinking their keyboards are lit

64
00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:45,759
because optical

65
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:50,800
microsoft is bringing back the iconic intellimouse that was last seen about 15

66
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:56,639
years ago but this time with some major changes it's gonna have a white led

67
00:04:53,360 --> 00:05:00,400
instead of the classic red

68
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:02,479
and 3200 dpi tracking instead of the old

69
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:06,880
400. they're hoping that this new intellimouse will be as popular with

70
00:05:04,479 --> 00:05:11,120
gamers as the original and they're going to be on sale for 40 bucks if you want

71
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:16,160
to go check out the link in the video description

72
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:18,080
i really don't know if 15 years later

73
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,240
the intellimouse is really going to hold let me know in the comments if you

74
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:27,759
disagree speaking of things to disagree with you might be seeing esports at the olympics

75
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:32,560
down the road as the ioc has announced that they will be putting on an esports

76
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:37,680
forum to help determine if competitive gaming might be suitable for the event

77
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:42,000
although collaboration between the ioc and esports

78
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:45,360
could stop short of including actual video game tournaments in the olympics

79
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:52,479
but i think the question we should all be asking ourselves is is league of legends really any less

80
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:56,240
worthy than ribbon twirling

81
00:05:52,479 --> 00:05:58,479
speaking of ribbon twirling segway

82
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:03,840
wait no hold on speaking of terrible segues segway the other segway remember

83
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:08,479
those guys they've popped back onto the scene with a pair of self-balancing

84
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:12,160
electric roller skates that are vaguely reminiscent of the original segway's

85
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:16,479
design aesthetic for better or for worse

86
00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:20,800
because the drift w1 skates don't actually contain your feet though the

87
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,600
device is essentially a two-piece hoverboard

88
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:28,160
of course the attractive couple in the cheesy marketing video doesn't have any

89
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:31,600
trouble with them but i do wonder how many takes they had to go through to get

90
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:35,919
that well that's it for me so

91
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:40,160
all of y'all have a pleasant canada day weekend even if you live south of the

92
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:47,160
border and we will see you on wow what are we gonna skip monday

93
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:47,160
i actually don't know
