WEBVTT 00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:07.600 So, you clicked a tech news video and 00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:11.120 now some smug idiot is doing a halfbaked bit 00:00:08.840 --> 00:00:15.599 instead. Believe it or not, I get paid to do 00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:18.080 this. I know I'm as confused as you are. 00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:22.560 Microsoft is turning Windows infamous blue screen of death into the black 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:26.560 screen of death because users have become desensitized to constant issues 00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:30.960 with their operating system and aren't feeling nearly the level of despair that 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:35.200 they should be. Microsoft isn't just changing the color, though. They're also 00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:40.320 streamlining the warning screen so it feels more Windows 11y while also 00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:45.200 removing some elements. Now, while normally I love me some minimalism, 00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:49.840 there are too many things in the world. Windows latest makes a good point. The 00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:54.640 new black screen doesn't have enough information on it. For example, the 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:58.640 frowning face is gone, erasing any hint of how the computer feels about all 00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:03.280 this. Thankfully, for now, the new screen is only rolling out to Windows 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:07.119 Insider builds with a green background instead of black. And who knows if 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:11.200 Microsoft will actually go through with this. They did the same thing when 00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:16.640 Windows 11 first launched, but reversed the change a few months later. In other 00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:18.159 Windows news, the popular bypass Enrow 00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:22.400 method for logging in without a Microsoft account has been disabled, 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:26.080 although anti-accountists have already found another workaround. And in an 00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:30.159 actually useful move, the company published a Windows road map with 00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:34.400 information about where upcoming features are in development and when 00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:38.159 they'll be released. Naturally, it doesn't show the inevitable end point 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:43.439 where Windows is totally on the cloud and you own nothing but are happy, but 00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:48.960 it's there. Some game developers are now recommending that players roll back to 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:55.280 an older version of NVIDIA's GPU drivers after reports of issues with RTX50 00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:57.600 series GPUs expanded to affect RTX30 and 00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:02.320 40 series cards as well. In the patch notes for recent game updates, the 00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:08.080 studios behind primarily hot person generator Inzoy and therapy avoidance 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:13.440 simulator the first berserker Kazan warned that gamers using an RTX 40 or 30 00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:18.560 series GPU may experience stability issues on NVIDIA's latest driver 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:21.840 572.83. Instead, they recommend sticking with version 00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:27.520 566.36 if you want your gameplay experience to be more made to order 00:02:24.239 --> 00:02:30.400 K-pop stars and less Dokyoki Literature 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:36.400 Club. OpenAI CEO Sam Alman claimed on Twitter this morning that ChatGpt added 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:38.920 1 million users in just 1 hour as the 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:43.920 tool's image generator mania continues unabated. People just can't stop 00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:48.319 giblifying stuff, including Colton Potter. But he's no stranger to crossing 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:53.599 the line. He's the most fired employee in history. Use and abuse of OpenAI 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:58.959 services has gotten so bad it removed the ability for new accounts to generate 00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:04.080 video using Sora after adding temporary rate limits to ChatBT's image gen tool 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:09.680 earlier this week. Fellow AI company Runway thought this was the perfect time 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:13.680 to release their latest video generator, Gen 4, which is apparently extra good at 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:18.560 maintaining consistency between different iterations of the same scene. 00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:22.560 The company calls it a milestone in the development of models that actually 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:26.720 understand and reproduce real world physics instead of depicting nonsensical 00:03:24.959 --> 00:03:30.959 physics and what I assume is a computer's idea of mocking the flashbags 00:03:29.040 --> 00:03:35.599 who can't stop asking it for pictures of themselves as a muppet. The availability 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:40.000 of higher fidelity AI video tools is great news for the YouTube channels 00:03:37.519 --> 00:03:44.400 flooding the platform with fake AI movie trailers that clickbait you into 00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:49.200 thinking what Leo DiCaprio's in the new Squid Game. Deadline actually reported 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:53.519 on how Hollywood Studios didn't force all of those trailers to be taken down. 00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:58.720 Instead, allowing them to rack up ad revenue and then claim it. And now my 00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:03.040 parents think someone's making a best exotic merryold hotel too. I'm too 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:07.920 scared to tell them the truth. But I will tell you about our sponsor, Cook 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:11.840 Unity.

Or 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:35.040 maybe a Moroccan chickpea tine by chef Lena Elcowsy. Or hold on, are you 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:39.680 craving the red wine brazed short ribs with carrot puree by chef Mark Forion? 00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:43.840 It's okay. You can tell me.

Quickbits 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:14.800 is the opposite of slow bits. Quickbits is the opposite of talking a lot. Quick 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:18.880 bits is this is a reference. I'm sorry if you don't get it. That's not I 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:23.360 shouldn't have done that to you. Despite ASRock addressing the issue last week, 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:28.320 reports have continued to pile up from users who've experienced issues or 00:05:25.520 --> 00:05:34.560 damage with Ryzen 9000 series processors and ASRock motherboards. as documented 00:05:31.039 --> 00:05:37.680 by this most mega of Reddit mega threads 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.520 from you/Natty overlord. With recent 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:47.520 updates in the last few days, the post now catalogs a handful of affected Ryzen 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:52.080 9 9950 X3D processors and 108 dead Ryzen 00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:54.000 7 9800 X3Ds with 86 of those occurring 00:05:52.080 --> 00:05:57.840 on ASRock motherboards. But you're right, ASRock, those people all probably 00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:02.720 gave their CPUs a dirt bath prior to installing or something. Ah, these damn 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:04.960 Tik Tok trends. Lenovo has hiked the 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:09.039 launch price of the Steam OS version of its Legion Go S, which will be the first 00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:13.120 official thirdparty Steam OS powered gaming handheld when it launches on May 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:18.960 25th. The handheld was announced back at CES with a $500 MSRP. But this week, 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:23.919 pre-orders went live, listing the device for $550, despite early testing 00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:28.400 indicating that the base model $400 Steam Deck may still feature better 00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:33.120 performance. What possible reason could there be for a tech product manufactured 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:38.479 overseas to have a sudden price increase as if some kind of tax was being passed 00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:41.280 on to consumer? Oh man. German space 00:06:38.479 --> 00:06:46.560 startup Isar Aerospace held the first test flight for its Spectrum rocket on 00:06:43.520 --> 00:06:48.960 Sunday and it went pretty well for about 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:53.840 40 seconds. Then it experienced some good old-fashioned rapid unscheduled 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:57.440 disassembly after flopping over into the Arctic Ocean. As is tradition, the 00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:01.199 company claimed the destruction of their prototype is a good thing for the 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:05.919 lessons they learned along the way. And I can also say that watching a rocket 00:07:03.440 --> 00:07:10.240 from a company that's not SpaceX explode was a nice change of pace. And April 00:07:07.919 --> 00:07:14.960 Fool's Day is tomorrow, at least where I am. But some companies have already 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:21.360 begun cracking wise, including Razer, who unveiled the Razer Skiib, a headset 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:26.000 with a built-in brain rot to normal translator, so you can stop abandoning 00:07:23.440 --> 00:07:30.240 your very online teammates to go Google whether you're required to pay the 00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:34.400 Phantom tax. Does that apply to me? Then there's PW World developer Pocket 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:40.319 Pair, who has apparently taken their April Fool's joke from last year, a 00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:43.759 PWorld dating simulator set in a high 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:46.960 school, and made it a reality. Pow! 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:49.280 World: More Than Just Pals, is listed on 00:07:46.960 --> 00:07:55.919 Steam, promising players the ability to befriend the Pokémonlike PAL creatures, 00:07:52.400 --> 00:07:59.479 uh, fall in love with them, or dismantle 00:07:55.919 --> 00:07:59.479 and eat them. 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:05.199 which is not going to be good for your relationship. Pocket Pair's 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:10.080 communications director explicitly denied that this is an April Fool's joke 00:08:07.280 --> 00:08:13.520 this time, and I kind of want Nintendo to win their lawsuit. Now, I also kind 00:08:12.080 --> 00:08:17.680 of want you to come back on Wednesday for more tech news. There's going to be 00:08:15.280 --> 00:08:23.840 Switch 2 news and many other tech company April Fool's jokes that are 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:23.840 somehow even worse than mine.
