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

00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:11.840
and like fist pump to some bad edm i'm talking

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:13.759
about rampage the security vulnerability

00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:18.720
which was just discovered and affects most Android devices dating back to

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

00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:30.160
memory management subsystem that could allow an attacker to peek at sensitive

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:33.360
data or even take control of the device

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:36.559
the underlying idea is pretty simple RAM

00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:39.280
page oh that's where it came from

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

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:47.760
the next row to flip a vulnerability

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:50.000
inherent to modern forms of very tightly

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:55.440
packed memory however even though rampage is making headlines today the

00:00:52.800 --> 00:01:00.719
odds of that kind of an attack flipping a bit that could allow for unprivileged

00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:03.600
access is exceedingly low you'd actually have a better shot of winning the

00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:07.760
lottery google has developed a remarkably

00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:12.479
human-sounding ai that you can have a real phone conversation with at least if

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:16.799
you're a restaurant employee the public got its first look at the new

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:21.040
google duplex recently which google demonstrated as a kind of personal

00:01:19.119 --> 00:01:25.680
secretary that could make calls on your behalf to set up or cancel appointments

00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:29.600
and reservations after asking your google assistant to

00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:33.840
take care of making the call for you it should in theory ring up the restaurant

00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:37.600
or business in question and make your reservation by talking to whatever

00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:42.000
carbon-based life form picks up the phone on the other end not only can

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:47.119
duplex ai handle questions from the person like uh if an alternative

00:01:44.479 --> 00:01:53.520
reservation time is okay it'll also interject with ums and yeahs to help the

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:57.600
conversation flow more naturally i think mark zuckerberg would be jealous

00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:02.320
your data might be getting a little safer if you're a california resident as

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:07.680
governor jerry brown just signed the california consumer privacy act into law

00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:13.280
this is the strictest legal protection of its kind in the u.s the upshot is

00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:18.319
that it makes it much more difficult for businesses to sell consumer information

00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:24.480
to third parties as consumers will have the right to ask companies what personal

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:26.879
data they have and order them to not

00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:31.680
sell it businesses will also be barred from charging customers additional money

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:38.480
to make up for lost revenue from selling the data or from withholding services

00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:39.360
as a huge surprise to everyone who had

00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:44.480
no ability to recognize patterns whatsoever

00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:49.440
tech giants like google uber microsoft verizon and amazon all spent money

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:54.160
opposing the law's passage saying that it would hurt their bank excuse me their

00:02:52.239 --> 00:02:58.800
innovation now it's time for rapid

00:02:56.640 --> 00:03:03.280
small things brought to you by private internet access vpn if you're looking

00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:07.519

00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:38.319
so are you interested in that 32 core AMD Threadripper that showed up at

00:03:35.519 --> 00:03:43.519
computex this month well we've finally gotten what might be some pricing

00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:45.720
information as german retailer cyberport

00:03:43.519 --> 00:03:51.840
has listed the chip at around 1500 euros or

00:03:49.239 --> 00:03:56.480
1750 us dollars now yes that is still cheaper than

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

00:03:59.040 --> 00:04:05.200
still to keep undercutting Intel like a salad shooter in a basement kitchen

00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:09.519
get it undercutting oh wow that's awful but

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:13.840
it'll still be costing you a pretty benny speaking of costing a pretty penny

00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:18.400
razer is releasing a new series of keyboards featuring optical switches

00:04:16.239 --> 00:04:22.000
which have only recently been seen on keyboards from companies like bloody and

00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:26.320
mooting the huntsman keyboard line will have a

00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:31.280
one and a half millimeter actuation point and razer is touting a longer

00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:37.759
lifespan than regular mechanical switches and hoping that the 150 to 200

00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:43.520
dollar price tag won't stop gamers from thinking their keyboards are lit

00:04:40.479 --> 00:04:45.759
because optical

00:04:43.520 --> 00:04:50.800
microsoft is bringing back the iconic intellimouse that was last seen about 15

00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:56.639
years ago but this time with some major changes it's gonna have a white led

00:04:53.360 --> 00:05:00.400
instead of the classic red

00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:02.479
and 3200 dpi tracking instead of the old

00:05:00.400 --> 00:05:06.880
400. they're hoping that this new intellimouse will be as popular with

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

00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:16.160
to go check out the link in the video description

00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:18.080
i really don't know if 15 years later

00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:20.240
the intellimouse is really going to hold let me know in the comments if you

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:27.759
disagree speaking of things to disagree with you might be seeing esports at the olympics

00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:32.560
down the road as the ioc has announced that they will be putting on an esports

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:37.680
forum to help determine if competitive gaming might be suitable for the event

00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:42.000
although collaboration between the ioc and esports

00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:45.360
could stop short of including actual video game tournaments in the olympics

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

00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:56.240
worthy than ribbon twirling

00:05:52.479 --> 00:05:58.479
speaking of ribbon twirling segway

00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:03.840
wait no hold on speaking of terrible segues segway the other segway remember

00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:08.479
those guys they've popped back onto the scene with a pair of self-balancing

00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:12.160
electric roller skates that are vaguely reminiscent of the original segway's

00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:16.479
design aesthetic for better or for worse

00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:20.800
because the drift w1 skates don't actually contain your feet though the

00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:23.600
device is essentially a two-piece hoverboard

00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:28.160
of course the attractive couple in the cheesy marketing video doesn't have any

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

00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:35.919
that well that's it for me so

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

00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:47.160
border and we will see you on wow what are we gonna skip monday

00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:47.160
i actually don't know
