1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,319
look tech daddy is giving us a timeout so i'm in my room but that won't stop me

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:11,200
from doing the tech news even though i'm grounded

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:15,440
i'm not supposed to nintendo beloved further cutesy characters and family

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:18,080
friendly games put on its bad guy mask again this week as the company ordered

5
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:22,160
the the big house an annual smash bros

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:26,480
tournament to cancel this year's event the issue is the big house's use of

7
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:31,039
slippy not the frog from star fox it's a mod for super smash

8
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:33,680
bros melee that improves online play which would have been an especially

9
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:37,520
useful in this case as the tournament wasn't online on the event no it's

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:41,840
organizers were apparently asked not to use slippy and they refused at which

11
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:46,160
point nintendo sent a cease and desist letter meaning no consent leading all

12
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:49,200
the big house events to be cancelled including the super smash bros ultimate

13
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:53,520
portion of the tournament which would have used an unmodded copy of the latest

14
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:57,039
smash game this morning nintendo also banned a number of twitch streamers from

15
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,960
australia new zealand and japan for playing hyrule warriors age of calamity

16
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:05,519
as the game launched in their respective countries seemingly because the game

17
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:09,600
hadn't launched worldwide yet wait for it honestly if it was ea pulling this

18
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:12,560
crap they'd be skewered online but for some reason it's hard to stay mad at

19
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,760
nintendo you know they're like dogs they're like nintendogs they they don't

20
00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:20,960
know what they're doing they just poop on your floor but it's so cute when they do it

21
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:25,040
we might mock apple a fair bit around here but they do at least seem to care

22
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:29,200
about privacy a bit more than their big tech counterparts that's evidenced by an

23
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:34,560
iOS 14 feature called app tracking transparency or att that allows users to

24
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:38,799
be notified and opt out of being tracked using their iphone's unique idfa code

25
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:43,280
which stands for identifier for advertisers apple delayed the feature to

26
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:47,759
next year after facebook and advertising firms whose business relies on that type

27
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:52,000
of tracking complained about it but now the fight is intensifying again with

28
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:56,399
apple accusing facebook of invasive tracking and facebook accusing apple of

29
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:00,560
abusing their market power to boost their own data collection

30
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:05,360
everyone sucks on the other side of the issue apple is under investigation in

31
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,119
the eu for allowing idfa tracking at all

32
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:11,599
so they really can't please everyone here i sort of feel bad you know

33
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:15,520
yeah you know you know what apple those m1 macs are pretty cool

34
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:19,680
all right i'll give you that one you need a little boost you know and if

35
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:23,440
you've played half-life 2 you're probably a millennial and you

36
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:27,599
might be familiar with gnome chomsky with a g a gnome that awards you an

37
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,400
achievement if you carry it through the entire game and place it inside a rocket

38
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,400
well valve president gabe newell has brought the meme to life by sending a

39
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:40,879
real-life replica of the gnome on rocket Labs electron rocket as it delivered a

40
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:44,319
payload of satellites into real-life orbit the launch marks the first time

41
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:47,840
rocket lab has successfully returned a rocket's second stage to earth using a

42
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:52,640
parachute not as cool as like landing itself but chomsky won't be around to

43
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:57,040
celebrate he's still in space on the kickstage which will burn up on

44
00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:02,000
re-entry don't worry you'll be remembered with

45
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:06,239
two new achievements in half-life 2 a game that launched 13 years ago you know

46
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:12,319
i respect val's priorities why make half-life 3 when you can do this kind of

47
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:15,360
stuff instead much prefer this

48
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:16,319
way better it's a better ending because

49
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,040
he's just carbon now now it's a time for the

50
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:25,120

they're on for bogo youtube is facing some backlash after announcing that ads

61
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:11,439
will be enabled on videos by creators not currently in the youtube partner

62
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:15,920
program who also won't get a share of the ad revenue until they do become

63
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:19,359
partners if creators really don't want ads on their videos though they can

64
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:24,320
remove monetization from their channel by violating the terms of service so

65
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:29,440
there's that youtube is also adding audio only ads for music playback uh you

66
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:33,040
can get mad but apparently youtube still barely makes any profit at all so

67
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:38,240
maybe they should start thinking about getting a patreon

68
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:42,240
it's official game streaming on iOS is a safari affair google has announced

69
00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:46,560
they'll be bringing stadia to iphones and ipads through a web app accessed

70
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:51,360
through a browser and NVIDIA will be doing the same thing with their

71
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:53,120
streaming service GeForce now this makes

72
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:57,120
so much more sense than having a normal streaming app on the app store like

73
00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:02,960
every other platform apple great call thanks they're truly a leader

74
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:07,680
Intel has announced the nuk m15 laptop kit a so-called white book

75
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:12,479
meant to be used as a baseline device that manufacturers can modify rebrand

76
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:17,120
and sell i guess nooks are now something more than just tiny pcs that are missing

77
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:21,039
some storage and RAM i know it's weird it's 20 20 we're all trying to adapt the

78
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:25,680
damage inflicted to the rsibo radio telescope is too severe to repair safely

79
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:29,440
so the observatory will be shut down and dismantled according to the national

80
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:32,880
science foundation without the telescope our ability to listen for alien signals

81
00:05:31,039 --> 00:05:36,479
will be considerably reduced so here's hoping the invasion doesn't happen until

82
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:41,520
after we build a replacement we're sitting ducks here thanks entropy and

83
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:46,639
smash hit kids game roblox has gone public after experiencing a 68 revenue

84
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:50,320
increase in 2020 so far the game's creators are looking to turn it into a

85
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:54,000
more of a social space that can serve as a sort of metaverse which is exactly

86
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:57,680
what fortnite and facebook's horizon are trying to do i would say it kind of

87
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,600
sucks that these are the companies that are creating the virtual universe of the

88
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:07,039
future but who am i kidding we deserve this we've done horrible things we must

89
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:11,840
atone and you deserve a nice restful weekend so recharge and then come back
