what you love and instead giving you more of it ripe shop Apple's highest
ranking Executives were given a sneak peek of the company's new headset last
week according to Apple soothsayer
markstradamus Mark Garman this group
called the top 100 have been attending similar events for the headset every
year since 2018. they called these events Fight Club demos which is a
reference to the discrete nature of the meeting and somehow doesn't involve a
group that literally calls themselves the top 100 battling for Tim Cook's
Amusement there can be only one they have that at Amazon though the gurm
mentioned that many at Apple are questioning the headset's design saying
the device will cost upwards of three thousand dollars will have no killer app
and was uncomfortable for some testers to wear among other complaints German
suggests the company expects a Apple watch like outcome where our product is
as nishad launch but in a few years becomes the one piece of tech your mom
can reliably use maybe this hope is why Tim Cook is
pushing ahead to launch the headset this year despite concerns from the product's
own designers what do they know anyway they couldn't even fight their way into
the top 100. the French government also known as La government French has
decided to officially ban fun for all its employees by not allowing them to
have recreational apps on government devices and what is surely the biggest
thing to happen in the country right now apps like Netflix Instagram and Twitter
are banned from phones issued to government employees and since France
couldn't stop at batting Tick-Tock like every other country and call it a day
Candy Crush is also not allowed the country's cyber security agency stated
that recreational apps don't have sufficient security or data protection to give civil servants something more
interesting to do on the toilet than counting bathroom floor tiles this could
mean that France views Chinese and American tech companies with the same
level of Suspicion it wouldn't be the first time France has come to blows of
the us over big Tech in 2019 the country enacted a digital Services tax that
prompted retaliatory sanctions from the American government until 2021. France
also opposes the U.S cloud act which allows U.S law enforcement to request
data stored by most major Cloud providers even if it's stored outside
the U.S even God so is this app ban the newest Tech Tesla

Android devices through phishing websites claiming to allow you to
download discontinued YouTube client Advanced Nexus can replicate legitimate
interfaces to trick you into entering your credentials can steal SMS messages
to get two-factor authentication codes and can even steal information from
crypto wallets and Google Authenticator but even worse the authors have taken a
page out of EA's Playbook and built a service model for Nexus you see for just
three thousand dollars a month you can commit Financial crimes and steal the
savings of innocent people all over the world and Be Your Own Boss so far the
majority of Nexus infections have been reported in Turkey but the Nexus
creators really wanted to know so it isn't on purpose stating our targets do
not include any country political view or anything done for the purpose of
attack their targets also don't include Azerbaijan Armenia Belarus Kazakhstan
Kyrgyzstan Moldova Russia Tajikistan
Uzbekistan Ukraine or Indonesia since they prohibit anyone from using their
malware in those countries they must have a very diverse team they
may sell software that can drain people's life savings but they have a
code I don't quite understand their code but they have one now it's time for the

Gordon Moore the co-founder of Intel and inventor of you know the one Moore's law
passed away on Friday at the age of 94.
in 1965 he predicted that a number of transistors in an integrated circuit
would double every year three years before founding Intel with Robert noyce
noise ten years later he humbly updated his
law by saying transistors would double every two years at least according to
Jensen Huang Gordon Moore outlived his own law and I doubt many people have
been able to pull that off hats off to you Mr Moore rest in peace Microsoft has
threatened to cut off companies like DuckDuckGo and Yahoo from licensing
their internet search index data if those companies continue to use it to
train AI chat features according to Bloomberg's Insider sources people
familiar with the matter you see giving AI access to a map of the web is
incredibly dangerous which is why only Bing can be entrusted with it you know
other chat Bots might do something extreme a number of smaller search
engines currently licensed being's indexed because of Google's restrictions
on licensing theirs but now Microsoft has hit the Bing time you know Fame
changes the mega Corporation people care about being now the FTC has
decided they've had enough of extended warranty memes so they're going after
the company is trying to rip off Americans proposed court orders will ban
three companies from both the extended automobile warranty industry and all
outbound telemarketing continuing the ftc's fight against robocalls and
telemarketing scams these companies were charged by the FEC a year ago with the
regulator alleging that the companies falsely claimed to represent dealers and
manufacturers and the FCC claimed the scam had cost U.S consumers 6 million
dollars since 2018. the memes were pretty good though but Xbox game pass
has gotten so popular Microsoft no longer needs to entice new subscribers
with a trial price of one dollar for the first month the company says they'll be
evaluating different marketing promotions for new members in the future
but what could you possibly introduce as a successor to what almost everyone
recognized as the best deal in gaming I mean a single dollar to play entirely
through 1 to 30 top AAA games depending on how alive you want to be at the end
it doesn't get much better than that Five Dollar Foot long so those are good and it turns out that farm equipment
manufacturers are desperate to get their machines in the simulation game Farming
Simulator developer giant software claims that manufacturers interest alone
covers the entire cost of game development it makes sense and some
companies have announced their products inclusion in the game the same day they
announced the actual product manufacturers will even share detailed
engineering drawings with the game devs to Aid in accurate simulation I guess
the metaverse was just for tractors the whole time and who cares about the
engineering drawings you're not allowed to fix it yourself anyway and in the metaverse they also at least have wheels
but Tech news is for everyone so come back on Wednesday when we decide to talk
to you through the camera again we will decide that
