1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,640
time for the tech news now with five percent less artificial flavorings

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,000
historically there hasn't been a whole lot of variety in the motherboard market

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:13,840
in terms of which manufacturer to buy from but there's some big news as it

4
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:18,000
looks like one major company is finally gonna start providing boards for fans of

5
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:21,279
team red evga has just released a video teaser for its dark series of

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:26,640
motherboards that don't bother with RGB lighting or other ostentatious bling but

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:30,880
the trailer very obviously put a ryzen logo behind the dark emblem suggesting

8
00:00:29,119 --> 00:00:36,000
that we'll be seeing evga make AMD compatible boards for the first time in

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:39,760
a very very long time the move makes sense considering AMD has been

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:44,239
experiencing a surge in popularity ever since 1st gen ryzen and it's never smart

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:48,879
to ignore a huge swath of your potential market just ask the folks at blackberry

12
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:52,559
who thought serious professionals wouldn't be interested in the iphone

13
00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:58,160
wait they were right actually yeah amazon has made plenty of headlines

14
00:00:56,879 --> 00:01:02,480
recently for the way it treats its workers and now another piece of

15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:08,240
embarrassing news has come out as a bloomberg report has revealed that the

16
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:09,840
tech giant is hiring and firing drivers

17
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:14,320
through an algorithm the affected workers are part of amazon's flex

18
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:18,400
delivery program a gig based contract employment scheme where people can

19
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:22,880
deliver packages on their own time kind of like uber but for amazon orders

20
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,960
while it might make some sense to automate the hr process for these types

21
00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:30,479
of roles the rub is that many drivers are reportedly being fired for

22
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:35,119
on-the-job mishaps that aren't their fault such as flat tire

23
00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:39,360
closed gates at a delivery location or even faulty amazon lockers as the

24
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:43,280
algorithm thinks drivers simply aren't making deliveries on time well it's not

25
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:46,880
wrong true it's just out of their control terminated drivers reportedly

26
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:52,240
have very little recourse as they have to pay 200 bucks just to appeal

27
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:55,680
and even that isn't a sure thing i mean we already have to deal with terrible

28
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,600
human bosses enough not talking about you of course Linus

29
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,560
you're great you're fantastic thank you he's not human

30
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,759
he is a robot if anybody knows how to clone lines you let us know despite how

31
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:10,560
much technology has advanced over the last few decades we still aren't driving

32
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:14,080
flying cars everywhere but it looks like we might finally have something close to

33
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:18,160
a real proof of concept as an honest-to-goodness flying car has

34
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:24,239
completed a test flight between two cities in slovakia dubbed the air car

35
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:28,239
the front half of the prototype looks a lot like a standard car with the rest of

36
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,680
the body featuring wings and an empanadage

37
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:35,360
and what does that even mean who wrote this

38
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:41,680
it runs on regular gasoline it can fly about 600 miles or a thousand kilometers

39
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:44,160
at an altitude of 8 200 feet or 2 500

40
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:50,400
meters according to its inventor during the flight the air car got up to speeds

41
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:52,080
of about 105 mph or 170 kph so while

42
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:57,040
it's not as fast as taking a commercial aircraft it's a heck of a lot faster

43
00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:00,560
than sitting in rush hour in bratislava we've all been there you know

44
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,800
of course with how bad the drivers are here in vancouver i really wonder about

45
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:08,800
the wisdom of giving them all a pair of wings

46
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:13,840
please please for the love of all that's good today's quick bits are brought to

47
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:15,920

gaming on to the quick bits you know how microsoft is only including 8th gen

55
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:47,680
Intel and zen 2 and newer cpus on his compatibility list for Windows 11. well

56
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:52,640
microsoft has come out today and said you won't need any specific CPU to run

57
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:57,280
the preview build for Windows insiders and they may end up backtracking and

58
00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:01,680
allowing more cpus to run win11 in the future they love us what were we just

59
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:04,400
saying about ignoring a huge swath of your potential market don't do it don't

60
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:10,720
do it bad lg is rolling out firmware updates for

61
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:12,640
its 2021 oleds to support 4k 120 hertz

62
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:16,799
with dolby vision boom got him the update is aimed at xbox

63
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:22,000
series x owners whose consoles have the ability to output dolby vision at 4k 120

64
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:26,400
though there aren't any supported games out for the platform yet

65
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:30,960
lg is also looking at updating its 2020 OLED sets and qnet displays should also

66
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:36,160
be getting the update hopefully compatible games will follow soon before

67
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:40,560
lg releases another alphabet soup tv lineup it's a joke

68
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:44,880
hey that's a little dig at lg xbox cloud streaming is now available

69
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:49,280
not only via web browser to everyone but also on all compatible iOS devices

70
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:53,759
previously desktop users had to download an app so this will make getting onto

71
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:58,400
the service a little easier plus xbox is now caught up to google stadia in terms

72
00:04:55,759 --> 00:05:03,440
of availability on apple devices i guess google's only real advantage in

73
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,520
streaming is now gone bye-bye see ya and

74
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,720
if you're flying on united anytime soon the airline just announced that

75
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:13,520
bluetooth audio will be available on some of their planes starting in 2025

76
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:17,840
removing the necessity of getting tangled with a cable in a cramped

77
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:23,960
airplane seat or even worse having to use the complimentary headphones that

78
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,960
sound like charlie brown's teacher

79
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:30,000
i have to wonder why it's taking that long to add such a simple feature

80
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:36,160
but i guess you can always entertain yourself in the meantime by doing the crossover puzzle and the in-flight

81
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:39,520
magazine that someone's already probably filled out i put on the face mask that's

82
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:45,440
