00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.520
Hey guys, it's Riley from the video and I just realized that I'm still filming

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:13.200
the video, so actually I can't do this part yet. The Trump administration has

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:16.320
clarified that it's 125% tariff on China

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:19.359
was meant to be announced in addition to

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:22.080
the 20% tariff Trump added as soon as he

00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:30.240
took office. So imports of Chinese goods are actually subject to 145% tariff for

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:32.800
the next 5 minutes. Uh, who knows? Uh,

00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:38.840
in response, China said, "Hey, what the heck? We'll do one more, too." And

00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:41.440
bumped their tariffs on US imports up to

00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:46.079
125% and threw in a jab in their official statement about the US becoming

00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:50.640
an economic joke for good measure. These are massive tariffs for two countries

00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:55.440
whose supply chains are so interconnected, and they could lead to a

00:00:52.480 --> 00:01:00.640
product like the iPhone 16 Pro jumping from $1,000 to

00:00:57.800 --> 00:01:05.159
$3500, according to this analyst wearing a truly unhinged suit jacket, which

00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:09.840
frankly makes me question his credibility. Yet, Bloomberg values his

00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:17.280
opinion. Apparently, this is something that Dan Ies does and everyone pretends

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:19.040
is okay. Well, Apple expert Mark German

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:24.799
isn't pretending that iPhones could actually be made in the US. He says it

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:27.040
isn't going to happen. But 404 Media

00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:33.680
points out that it's not impossible to make a phone almost entirely in America

00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:36.560
as proven by the Purism Liberty device,

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:43.840
which has pretty outdated specs and costs $2,000, while its made overseas

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:46.640
sibling, the Librem 5, goes for $800.

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:51.360
But it's possible if you're okay with your iPhone

00:01:48.759 --> 00:01:55.759
being. But who knows, maybe Tim Cook will manage to squeeze an iPhone tariff

00:01:53.680 --> 00:02:01.439
exemption out of Trump like he did back in 2019. Speaking of exemptions, China's

00:01:58.880 --> 00:02:06.479
tariffs will not apply to products with semiconductors that were fabricated in

00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:13.120
Taiwan, which is great news for AMD, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, and others. And not

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.959
great news for non-Taiwan-based fabs

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:21.200
like Global Foundaries, Texas Instruments, and yeah, Intel. They don't

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:26.720
need this. They're already losing ground to AMD in China. Interestingly, Intel's

00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:32.160
IPO feature, which allows some overclocking while maintaining warranty

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:34.000
coverage, is now available only in

00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:39.200
China. You know, maybe let the rest of us have it. Intel, h you really got

00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:43.360
nothing to lose. But privacy enthusiasts are about to lose it again because

00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:48.000
Microsoft says they're preparing to try again with the roll out of Windows

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:52.000
Recall, the controversial AI feature that records everything you do.

00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:55.440
Microsoft was a little surprised by the backlash when they rolled it out

00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:59.440
initially. So, after giving everyone some time to reset, they're flipping the

00:02:57.519 --> 00:03:02.959
switch again. You know, turning turning it on and off. That should fix it.

00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:06.959
That's not entirely fair. In the newest release preview build for Windows

00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:12.159
Insider, the feature requires users to opt in rather than opt out like the

00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:15.840
original, while pausing the feature and controlling what's captured is

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:20.480
apparently easier. And Microsoft says the security protecting your recall

00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:25.519
content is the same for any content you have on your Windows PC, a class of

00:03:23.519 --> 00:03:30.400
device famously known for its bulletproof security. But even if

00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:35.360
someone's using the Fort Knox of PCs, some privacy advocates remain concerned

00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:39.280
not about whether the primary user has consented to having all of their stuff

00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:45.200
recorded, but whether other people sending messages, info, I don't know,

00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:50.319
freaky pictures to that user have consented. Isn't there someone you

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:52.640
forgot to ask? Also this week, Sam Alman

00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:58.480
announced that ChatGpt now has the ability to reference all your past

00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:01.360
conversations. So AI can get to know you

00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:05.680
over your life, which is opt-in by default, although you can turn it off.

00:04:03.760 --> 00:04:10.799
Now, we're talking about AI systems who have proven in research that they can

00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:15.439
and will intentionally lie if they have a reason to. So, just be aware, your AI

00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:20.000
assistant may have just gotten an upgraded ability to gaslight you. It's

00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:24.320
certainly true for me. I have the memory of a goldfish. That's almost as bad as

00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:28.880
data brokers selling your personal info online. Thankfully, our sponsor, Delete

00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:33.840

so it can't be passed around like a newborn baby at the Grandma Meetup. It's

00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:48.400
your info. It's not a baby. Speaking of babies, Delete Me has family plans now,

00:05:24.880 --> 00:05:31.199
Back to you, Riley. Okay, I think I

00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:35.280
think that's it. Hey guys, it's Riley from the video. And crap, we haven't

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:39.600
done the quick bits yet. I don't how does this work? After delaying

00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:43.759
pre-orders due to the tariffs, Nintendo has now announced that the first

00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:49.039
pre-order invitations for the US and Canada will be sent out on May 8th to

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:53.680
those chosen few who fulfill the pre-order requirements for the Switch 2,

00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:57.919
which include having a previous Nintendo Switch online subscription and a certain

00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:02.639
amount of play hours. The company is reportedly doing its best to avoid

00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:07.520
increasing the conso's price anymore with plans to redirect its supply

00:06:04.960 --> 00:06:12.560
streams to stay ahead of any sudden changes in tariffs that radically

00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:16.479
disrupt the global economy. That's just that that's just kind of how things are

00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:21.120
now. So thankfully, the Switch 2's pre-order requirements reduce the risk

00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:26.000
of scalping, but users on the Nintendo Switch 2 subreddit are also getting

00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:30.960
involved, reporting eBay listings for the Switch 2 since pre-sales of items

00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:38.720
that won't be shipped for 40 days go against eBay's toos. In the battle

00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:41.919
against insane markups, Reddit stands in

00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:45.440
the breach. AMD has refreshed their

00:06:41.919 --> 00:06:49.120
Ryzen 7000HX mobile processors. The new

00:06:45.440 --> 00:06:51.520
Ryzen 8000HX series appears to be

00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:57.600
identical to their predecessors with the only obvious difference as of now being

00:06:53.680 --> 00:07:00.199
a 0.1 GHz higher boost clock on the

00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:05.120
Ryzen 9 8940HX. But, you know, but maybe in this

00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:09.520
crazy tech world right now, we need a little stability. So, I thank you AMD.

00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:13.599
I'm not going to go through every new indie game announced in this year's

00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:18.319
Triple Eye Initiative Showcase, but I will call out the Stranded Clone Colony

00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:23.840
game, The Altters, which is now coming out June 11th. Clover Pit, which is

00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:29.800
apparently the demonic love child of Bellatro and Buckshot Roulette. How

00:07:26.960 --> 00:07:34.960
could you say no? Morbid Metal is a hacken/rogue light where you shapeshift

00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:40.160
between characters in real time. and seafood developer SlowCl Clap made

00:07:37.919 --> 00:07:45.680
rematch, which you can think of as Rocket League, but without the cars.

00:07:43.039 --> 00:07:51.520
Chinese robot company Unit has posted yet another video of their G1 robot

00:07:48.880 --> 00:07:56.240
engaged in combat. It's boxing this time. They seem weirdly obsessed with

00:07:53.680 --> 00:08:00.800
their robot's ability to fight humans. I don't know what's going on there, but I

00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:06.400
do know that this touchable 3D hologram developed by Spanish researchers uses

00:08:03.599 --> 00:08:11.440
rapidly vibrating elastic bands to both display and detect finger position. So,

00:08:09.440 --> 00:08:16.000
you can stick your hand in there and move a virtual item around as long as

00:08:13.919 --> 00:08:20.080
you're okay with holograms that feel like getting slapped by angry jello. You

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:24.319
thought I was going to do something else with that story, didn't you? you. But I

00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:28.960
wouldn't be angry at all if you came back on Monday for more tech news. If

00:08:27.039 --> 00:08:33.599
you don't come back then, well uh then yeah uh I will be angry. My personal

00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:37.599
feelings are entirely dependent upon external cues. It's more fun that way.
