1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,960
i didn't click the video you did you always do this let's change the subject

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:10,800
i say we talk about tech news what do you mean you don't want it you click the

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:14,400
video after buying bethesda for seven and a

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,960
half billion dollars last year microsoft is continuing its studio acquisition

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:23,519
bender and absorbing activision blizzard king like a high templar absorbing

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:29,439
another one and forming an archon this is a dark templar for sure for 68.7

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,960
billion i don't know why they couldn't round it up another 300 ml and make it a

8
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:37,520
little nicer but did you do the math on that

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:41,840
but a deal brings the number of game studios owned by the tech giant to 32

10
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,600
meaning it's only a matter of time before we get a smash bros style game

11
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:49,200
with master chief fighting a protoss i already made a protoss joke that

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,559
actually sounds awesome but people are less stoked about the acquisition

13
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:57,760
essentially serving as a way for embattled activision ceo bobby kotick

14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,760
kotik

15
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:05,119
to slide out the back with a nice payout once the deal is over and avoid major

16
00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:09,520
ramifications of these sexual harassment accusations levied against him also

17
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:14,000
among the reactions were annoying pieces about how this is a big metaverse play

18
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:18,479
we need to outlaw that word and others questioning whether microsoft is now a

19
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:21,439
gaming monopoly but even with the extra revenue they're gonna get from this

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,400
acquisition the move may only make microsoft third in gaming earnings

21
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:29,920
behind tencent and sony as usual we have to give this story time to breathe to

22
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,560
see how much worse it makes the world the question isn't if it will make it

23
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,640
worse it's how much they already have

24
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,960
solitaire in other everybody panic news yesterday

25
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:46,799
the ceos of major airlines threatened to ground flights to avoid catastrophic

26
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,880
disruption by new 5g network equipment

27
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:55,680
scheduled to be switched on by verizon and at t today y2k baby

28
00:01:52,840 --> 00:02:00,000
y5g the move came after months of intense standoffs over the technology

29
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:04,159
which the faa says could like crash planes but which seems to work fine in

30
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,759
europe but they do things different over there

31
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:11,760
they're so quirky at the last minute the american isps agreed to delay the

32
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:15,920
rollout of c-band 5g tech in the vicinity of airports following similar

33
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:20,720
threats from international airlines but they did launch it elsewhere not around

34
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:25,120
airports and hey it seems to be going okay so far the f

35
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,640
the ffa the faa has since released a list of planes with more modern

36
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:32,400
altimeters that won't be affected by the spectrum overlap issue so make sure

37
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:36,400
you're on one of those planes unless you're fine with dying as long as you

38
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:41,760
have really good reception in your final moments on airplane mode

39
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:46,879
no i didn't get the benefit and AMD launched their latest GPU today

40
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:52,239
the rx 6500 xt reviews so far saying james

41
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:57,519
they're saying that the criticism stems from the cards bottleneck issues caused

42
00:02:54,239 --> 00:03:00,480
by its tiny 64-bit memory bus only four

43
00:02:57,519 --> 00:03:05,519
PCIe 4.0 lanes and its paltry four gigabytes of vram perfect storm to make

44
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:10,000
matters worse it seems like AMD tried to bury one of its blog posts from june

45
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:13,519
2020 which claimed four gigabytes of vram is not enough for modern games and

46
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:19,760
that was a year and a half ago drawing more criticism because of the thing they were

47
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:24,480
trying to avoid criticism for when kit guru noticed the blog post was deleted

48
00:03:21,519 --> 00:03:28,959
AMD put the blog post back up like aha you got me hit refresh

49
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,879
this is a game we play and of course the card is being found

50
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:38,000
for prices upward of 280 dollars instead of its 199 msrp but you knew that was

51
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:42,319
going to happen we thought 300. we it could have been worse

52
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:46,959
we're not mad AMD we're just confused what's wrong with you a mobile GPU

53

63
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:31,280
after ghosting the tech world by missing their previously teased announcement

64
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:38,160
dates samsung has gotten over their shyness and unveiled the exynos 202

65
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,800
2200 eclipse the company's first mobile

66
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:45,440
soc featuring AMD's rdna 2 graphic scores and thus support for ray tracing

67
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:49,040
samsung didn't provide any performance data which would be concerning if it

68
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:54,160
wasn't painfully obvious that this chip is not going to be very good what

69
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:58,639
big samsung fan i want it to be good research published

70
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:03,360
last week has shown that a software vulnerability in apple's webkit browser

71
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:07,600
engine which powers safari 15 and all other iOS web browsers has been leaking

72
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:12,639
user identities and browser information since iOS 15 went live back in september

73
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:16,800
apple you're so private everything stays there

74
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:20,880
you put it there and it stays it doesn't there's a bit of sliding unfortunately

75
00:05:19,039 --> 00:05:25,759
the only thing iphone users or safari users on macOS can do is be really

76
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,800
careful while browsing or switch to a platform that doesn't force you to use

77
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:31,600
one type of browser like you're a child being forced to eat vegetables both are

78
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:38,240
wrong if the child wants scurvy that's their business i use brave cryptocurrency

79
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:42,320
exchange crypto.com finally admitted they did suffer a hack but ceo chris

80
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:46,880
marjaleck i didn't say that right was quick to

81
00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:50,000
clarify that no customer funds were lost he replaced them with his own billions

82
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:54,400
it's it's true he may mean that crypto.com will take the financial hit

83
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:58,080
for the 15 million worth of crypto that apparently were stolen according to

84
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:03,360
other analysts what if we printed the coins on paper would this help

85
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:07,680
metal then you'd have to like get in there like do a real heist

86
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:12,800
like the joker and after the wi-fi alliance made things complicated with

87
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:15,440
wi-fi 6e and wi-fi 6 version 2 mediatek

88
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:19,759
says they're testing wi-fi 7 and they may release the first products powered

89
00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:24,720
by the new tech in 2023 here's hoping they don't actually mean 2023.2a

90
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:30,160
i love that which is like a pocket you like that joke it was a pretty good one what does it

91
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,479
mean and after wordle clones flooded the iOS app store last week here's a story

92
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:37,280
about one of the good ones okay well actually it's not a clone it's a

93
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:41,680
completely different game app called wordle with an exclamation mark that

94
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:46,400
experienced a huge surge of revenue thanks to the popularity of the other

95
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:48,800
wordle well its creator stephen cravata

96
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:52,720
is donating the proceeds of that surge to boost west oakland the charity

97
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:57,759
providing free after-school tutoring for kids so i guess clones aren't all bad

98
00:06:55,919 --> 00:07:01,360
but this wasn't a clone we'll have more questions to answer on

99
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:05,199
friday so come back for more tech news at that time or don't and we can keep

100
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:12,319
fighting it's up to you what are you gonna do i have it in your hands give me some

101
00:07:07,599 --> 00:07:12,319
space we need to make this work ah
