man we won't see each other for a whole weekend what are we gonna do with all
the time I mean I already know what I'm doing I'm not allowed to leave the set
actually they live here they are cold tonight Google is blocking some
Canadians from receiving news content which means that if you found this video
from maple syrup apparently the tech giant is running
tests to block news access in the True North in response to pending Canadian
legislation that would force large platforms like Google and meta to pay
news Publishers for their content but Google loves news I can't believe they
would be opposed to paying for it for a third time yeah if this story sounds
familiar it might be because Google threatened to shut off search in
Australia in 2021 when the country slash continent proposed similar legislation
or you might be thinking of the half a billion dollar fine France slapped
Google with that same year for refusing to pay French news outlets in both of
these previous cases Google eventually backed down but
third time's a charm if it squeaky wheel
Etc you know Google isn't the only tech company to earn the ire of the Canadian
government as our privacy commissioner is now also investigating Tick Tock to
see if excuse me how badly the app is violating Canadian privacy legislation
because everyone's talking about oh the eu's investigating Tick Tock America's
investigating Tick Tock Canada can investigate things too okay we just need
to take breaks to send Jean Louis to head up Timmy's every once more knock
Mysteries heard of it probably not it's exclusive to this country it's my show
Google the company we just talked about has been accused by the U.S department
of justice of destroying digital evidence pertinent to the Anti-Trust
lawsuit filed by federal and state Regulators back in 2020. look they could
just be minimalists clogged server does not spark Joy according to filings by
the US government Google has been deleting certain internal chats after 24
hours the filings further state that Google was supposed to cease its Auto
delete practices way back in 2019 when the tech giant reasonably anticipated
the upcoming litigation and instead according to the doj the auto deletions
continued until as recently as the 8th of this month even Bing chat knows it
isn't still 2019. it's 2022 it has no
idea what year it is but it doesn't end with the US government either epic games
filed a motion to sanction Google for the supposed chat deletions since they
are also relevant to the ongoing lawsuit over the Google Play Store in a
statement Google pointed out that uh they've already produced over 4 million
documents for the federal lawsuit alone so who cares if Google destroys records
of nine potential trial Witnesses I think the doj could learn a little
something called gratitude and YouTube
the company owned by that company we just talked about is adding some new
features one of the most exciting is multi-language audio support which
allows creators to add additional audio tracks to a video for dubs in different
languages which is so much easier than having alternate YouTube channels for
each of the world's languages so I guess we should cancel our plans for El
TechLink do I have ever been learning Spanish this feature has already been
tested by a small group of established creators such as Mr Beast or senior
Bestia if you've been listening to the Spanish audio huh is that okay it was
okay YouTube is also adding podcast support in YouTube studio and YouTube
music you can now designate your content as a podcast and organize episodes
within a playlist which will then be available to YouTube music users now
would I have preferred it if instead of adding podcast compatibility to YouTube
music YouTube focused on General quality of life improvements like allowing me to
keep my YouTube music search history subscriptions and playlists separate
from my YouTube ones of course there's no but I just need to get that out in
less popular News YouTube video is apparently testing a 1080p premium
quality that lets premium subscribers watch at a higher bit rate despite the
conspiracy theories YouTube has stated they haven't degraded the bit rate of
the normal 1080p option Google has been accused of lying in the past as well as
aggressively avoiding added costs but when was the last time you heard about
them doing those things you can't count the last two stories the

bit rates my quick bit rate is about five per video this is so
it's too through Google that company that owns the company owned by the
company we just talked about has announced they are rolling out the Magic
Eraser and HDR effect tools to Google one subscribers on both Android and iOS
as well as all pixel users this is great
news I tried using Mr clean's version of Magic Eraser but it just left all those
little white bits everywhere and there was no hot bald guy where's the hot ball
guy I was promised a bald man the
commercials are very misleading I thought he would dance with me nearly
1500 web domains containing the words chat GPT has been registered by hackers
just this week security researchers have shown images of websites claiming to
offer downloads of the chatbot but surprise it's it's
malware it's your classic story something becomes popular and other
people try to profit off its success I still remember when I got a super guy
action figure for Christmas he had gamma ray vision and the ability to hover and
then he stole my credit card information
Intel CEO Pat gelsinger denied the
rumors that the company would be delaying its three nanometer chips
emphasizing that all three nanometer projects including Arrow Lake would be
arriving in 2024. you may remember that we reported about the rumors on
Wednesday so on behalf of the entire Tech League team I just want to say Pat
please let my family go I we did not
mean it Mozilla performed a study suggesting apps on the Google Play Store
are misleading potential users on how much data they're collecting that's
pretty hot and Foxy they made they made Firefox cut that out
prove it the Firefox maker investigated
the store's data safety labels which are meant for developers to disclose how
they handle users data turns out that not only has Google not been vetting the
labels of apps in the Play Store they've also been labeling their own apps with
misleading claims about data privacy like that you have it
so it's been five tackling stories since the last
time Google was accused of lying let's try for a longer streak next time Google
and Sony broadcast their latest state of play yesterday and their last
announcement was a real showstopper after it was done this show the show
stopped when they Sony decided to end the video on the upcoming Suicide Squad
game from developer Rocksteady which asks the question what would it be like
if someone made a comic licensed Co-op live service loot-based game
that question was already asked three years ago by Marvel's Avengers and the
answer was bad so instead get hyped for
Humanity a game where the only hope for the survival of the human species is a
Shiba Inu now that's how you ask the important questions
who who is that little dog is he like this deal does he like belly
rubs and we'll have answers on Monday so you should tune in please it's just it's
really lonely standing here all weekend hey
