apple's thousand dollar monitor stand has been making the headlines but now
we're getting some news about apple doing something that's actually useful
monitor yeah where have those been this whole
time adding 5g support to the iphone so
it's not that report indicates that the higher end iphone models will get 5g
support in the second half of next year with all iphones following suit sometime
in 2021 now some Android manufacturers like samsung already have 5g phones on
the market and there's also motorola's 5g moto mod add-on but apple's not
necessarily behind the curve on this one as 5g is only just starting to roll out
in parts of the us apple moving forward with 5g might be a
sign that the company is making the most of their recent reconciliation with
qualcomm after years of ridiculously complicated patent lawsuits hopefully
apple won't attach the 5g modem to a dongle that costs an extra thousand
bucks that's something they would do
those guys running a virus scan probably isn't something you think about much
anymore especially you a dirty dirty box i haven't had a virus
in here because many of our devices are built to handle security in the
background but samsung is now advising people to run manual scans on their
televisions of all things although cyber attacks against smart appliances are
nothing new samsung tweeted out an instructional video that recommended
owners of its qled tvs perform manual
virus scans once every few weeks every few weeks yeah well depending on what
they're doing with the tv i guess eh now the tweet was deleted a short time later
after the internet started mocking it mercilessly but it already started
fueling speculation that there might be some specific vulnerability with
samsung's high-end tv lineup that prompted this warning samsung hasn't yet
acknowledged the speculation but until we get to the bottom of this i advise
viewers to always use protection like wear sunglasses or something
maybe like the 3d glasses while you're watching that way

experience in the near future if you fly american airlines on the regular

internet on its mainline planes which will offer better speeds and less

upset stomach you'll still have to pay for the privilege but it beats paying

and if you're in houston domino's is all set to begin delivering pizzas with

gotcha i hope you didn't sell off all your cryptocurrency during the crash as
bitcoin has quietly gotten back above 9000 us
dollars which is nearly three times where it was
back in december ethereum and litecoin are also rising in value with the
renewed interest in crypto apparently being driven by the fact that facebook
is set to launch its own cryptocurrency next week
incidences of miners telling their friends told you so are also increasing
and will continue to do so at least until the next crash
those miners i hate young people
use paper bills and get off my lawn
if you use google calendar to organize your life be on the lookout for a new
phishing scam in your calendar entries the scheme takes advantage of the fact
that google calendar automatically adds events you're invited to by default so
the bad guys will send out invites with links to phishing sites under the guise
of legitimate events a good workaround for now is to adjust your settings so
that calendar won't just auto add any invites which would also be useful for
filtering out invitations from your in-laws don't get me
started oh i hope they don't have your family i
know they don't watch that and i didn't write that come on guys and on the lighter side a
regional information minister in pakistan got more than he bargained for
as during a facebook live stream of his news conference someone accidentally
activated a cat filter giving the official whiskers and pointy ears for a
few minutes before the error was caught the political party that streamed the
conference posted a very serious sounding apology on twitter but i think
we can all forgive the volunteer who ran the stream for taking a little cat nap
on the job i mean they were working hard you know
we all need a little break sometimes that's our show for today guys so tune
back in on wednesday when we'll put a cat filter on Linus
can we put a cat filter on they're telling me yes not on me please
don't next on wednesday there was already a cat filter on you oh
no
