WEBVTT

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

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

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:14.400
video after buying bethesda for seven and a

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:18.960
half billion dollars last year microsoft is continuing its studio acquisition

00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:23.519
bender and absorbing activision blizzard king like a high templar absorbing

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:29.439
another one and forming an archon this is a dark templar for sure for 68.7

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

00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:37.520
little nicer but did you do the math on that

00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:41.840
but a deal brings the number of game studios owned by the tech giant to 32

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:45.600
meaning it's only a matter of time before we get a smash bros style game

00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:49.200
with master chief fighting a protoss i already made a protoss joke that

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:52.559
actually sounds awesome but people are less stoked about the acquisition

00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:57.760
essentially serving as a way for embattled activision ceo bobby kotick

00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:57.760
kotik

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

00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:09.520
ramifications of these sexual harassment accusations levied against him also

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:14.000
among the reactions were annoying pieces about how this is a big metaverse play

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:18.479
we need to outlaw that word and others questioning whether microsoft is now a

00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:21.439
gaming monopoly but even with the extra revenue they're gonna get from this

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:26.400
acquisition the move may only make microsoft third in gaming earnings

00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:29.920
behind tencent and sony as usual we have to give this story time to breathe to

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

00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:36.640
worse it's how much they already have

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:40.960
solitaire in other everybody panic news yesterday

00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:46.799
the ceos of major airlines threatened to ground flights to avoid catastrophic

00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:48.880
disruption by new 5g network equipment

00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:55.680
scheduled to be switched on by verizon and at t today y2k baby

00:01:52.840 --> 00:02:00.000
y5g the move came after months of intense standoffs over the technology

00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:04.159
which the faa says could like crash planes but which seems to work fine in

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:07.759
europe but they do things different over there

00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:11.760
they're so quirky at the last minute the american isps agreed to delay the

00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:15.920
rollout of c-band 5g tech in the vicinity of airports following similar

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:20.720
threats from international airlines but they did launch it elsewhere not around

00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:25.120
airports and hey it seems to be going okay so far the f

00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:28.640
the ffa the faa has since released a list of planes with more modern

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:32.400
altimeters that won't be affected by the spectrum overlap issue so make sure

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

00:02:34.239 --> 00:02:41.760
have really good reception in your final moments on airplane mode

00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:46.879
no i didn't get the benefit and AMD launched their latest GPU today

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:52.239
the rx 6500 xt reviews so far saying james

00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:57.519
they're saying that the criticism stems from the cards bottleneck issues caused

00:02:54.239 --> 00:03:00.480
by its tiny 64-bit memory bus only four

00:02:57.519 --> 00:03:05.519
PCIe 4.0 lanes and its paltry four gigabytes of vram perfect storm to make

00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:10.000
matters worse it seems like AMD tried to bury one of its blog posts from june

00:03:07.760 --> 00:03:13.519
2020 which claimed four gigabytes of vram is not enough for modern games and

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

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:24.480
trying to avoid criticism for when kit guru noticed the blog post was deleted

00:03:21.519 --> 00:03:28.959
AMD put the blog post back up like aha you got me hit refresh

00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:32.879
this is a game we play and of course the card is being found

00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:38.000
for prices upward of 280 dollars instead of its 199 msrp but you knew that was

00:03:35.519 --> 00:03:42.319
going to happen we thought 300. we it could have been worse

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

00:03:45.519 --> 00:03:50.319

them that quick james get off your phone

00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:31.280
after ghosting the tech world by missing their previously teased announcement

00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:38.160
dates samsung has gotten over their shyness and unveiled the exynos 202

00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:40.800
2200 eclipse the company's first mobile

00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:45.440
soc featuring AMD's rdna 2 graphic scores and thus support for ray tracing

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:49.040
samsung didn't provide any performance data which would be concerning if it

00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:54.160
wasn't painfully obvious that this chip is not going to be very good what

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:58.639
big samsung fan i want it to be good research published

00:04:56.960 --> 00:05:03.360
last week has shown that a software vulnerability in apple's webkit browser

00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:07.600
engine which powers safari 15 and all other iOS web browsers has been leaking

00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:12.639
user identities and browser information since iOS 15 went live back in september

00:05:10.479 --> 00:05:16.800
apple you're so private everything stays there

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

00:05:19.039 --> 00:05:25.759
the only thing iphone users or safari users on macOS can do is be really

00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:28.800
careful while browsing or switch to a platform that doesn't force you to use

00:05:27.280 --> 00:05:31.600
one type of browser like you're a child being forced to eat vegetables both are

00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:38.240
wrong if the child wants scurvy that's their business i use brave cryptocurrency

00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:42.320
exchange crypto.com finally admitted they did suffer a hack but ceo chris

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:46.880
marjaleck i didn't say that right was quick to

00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:50.000
clarify that no customer funds were lost he replaced them with his own billions

00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:54.400
it's it's true he may mean that crypto.com will take the financial hit

00:05:52.320 --> 00:05:58.080
for the 15 million worth of crypto that apparently were stolen according to

00:05:56.080 --> 00:06:03.360
other analysts what if we printed the coins on paper would this help

00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:07.680
metal then you'd have to like get in there like do a real heist

00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:12.800
like the joker and after the wi-fi alliance made things complicated with

00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:15.440
wi-fi 6e and wi-fi 6 version 2 mediatek

00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:19.759
says they're testing wi-fi 7 and they may release the first products powered

00:06:17.039 --> 00:06:24.720
by the new tech in 2023 here's hoping they don't actually mean 2023.2a

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

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:34.479
mean and after wordle clones flooded the iOS app store last week here's a story

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

00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:41.680
completely different game app called wordle with an exclamation mark that

00:06:39.840 --> 00:06:46.400
experienced a huge surge of revenue thanks to the popularity of the other

00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:48.800
wordle well its creator stephen cravata

00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:52.720
is donating the proceeds of that surge to boost west oakland the charity

00:06:50.880 --> 00:06:57.759
providing free after-school tutoring for kids so i guess clones aren't all bad

00:06:55.919 --> 00:07:01.360
but this wasn't a clone we'll have more questions to answer on

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

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

00:07:07.599 --> 00:07:12.319
space we need to make this work ah
