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

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:11.200
from doing the tech news even though i'm grounded

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:15.440
i'm not supposed to nintendo beloved further cutesy characters and family

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:18.080
friendly games put on its bad guy mask again this week as the company ordered

00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:22.160
the the big house an annual smash bros

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:26.480
tournament to cancel this year's event the issue is the big house's use of

00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:31.039
slippy not the frog from star fox it's a mod for super smash

00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:33.680
bros melee that improves online play which would have been an especially

00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:37.520
useful in this case as the tournament wasn't online on the event no it's

00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:41.840
organizers were apparently asked not to use slippy and they refused at which

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:46.160
point nintendo sent a cease and desist letter meaning no consent leading all

00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:49.200
the big house events to be cancelled including the super smash bros ultimate

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:53.520
portion of the tournament which would have used an unmodded copy of the latest

00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:57.039
smash game this morning nintendo also banned a number of twitch streamers from

00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:00.960
australia new zealand and japan for playing hyrule warriors age of calamity

00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:05.519
as the game launched in their respective countries seemingly because the game

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:09.600
hadn't launched worldwide yet wait for it honestly if it was ea pulling this

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

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.760
nintendo you know they're like dogs they're like nintendogs they they don't

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

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

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:29.200
about privacy a bit more than their big tech counterparts that's evidenced by an

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:34.560
iOS 14 feature called app tracking transparency or att that allows users to

00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:38.799
be notified and opt out of being tracked using their iphone's unique idfa code

00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:43.280
which stands for identifier for advertisers apple delayed the feature to

00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:47.759
next year after facebook and advertising firms whose business relies on that type

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:52.000
of tracking complained about it but now the fight is intensifying again with

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:56.399
apple accusing facebook of invasive tracking and facebook accusing apple of

00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:00.560
abusing their market power to boost their own data collection

00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:05.360
everyone sucks on the other side of the issue apple is under investigation in

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:07.119
the eu for allowing idfa tracking at all

00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:11.599
so they really can't please everyone here i sort of feel bad you know

00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:15.520
yeah you know you know what apple those m1 macs are pretty cool

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

00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:23.440
you've played half-life 2 you're probably a millennial and you

00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:27.599
might be familiar with gnome chomsky with a g a gnome that awards you an

00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:32.400
achievement if you carry it through the entire game and place it inside a rocket

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:36.400
well valve president gabe newell has brought the meme to life by sending a

00:02:34.239 --> 00:02:40.879
real-life replica of the gnome on rocket Labs electron rocket as it delivered a

00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:44.319
payload of satellites into real-life orbit the launch marks the first time

00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:47.840
rocket lab has successfully returned a rocket's second stage to earth using a

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:52.640
parachute not as cool as like landing itself but chomsky won't be around to

00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:57.040
celebrate he's still in space on the kickstage which will burn up on

00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:02.000
re-entry don't worry you'll be remembered with

00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:06.239
two new achievements in half-life 2 a game that launched 13 years ago you know

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

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:15.360
stuff instead much prefer this

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:16.319
way better it's a better ending because

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:21.040

00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:25.120

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

00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:11.439
will be enabled on videos by creators not currently in the youtube partner

00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:15.920
program who also won't get a share of the ad revenue until they do become

00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:19.359
partners if creators really don't want ads on their videos though they can

00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:24.320
remove monetization from their channel by violating the terms of service so

00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:29.440
there's that youtube is also adding audio only ads for music playback uh you

00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:33.040
can get mad but apparently youtube still barely makes any profit at all so

00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:38.240
maybe they should start thinking about getting a patreon

00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:42.240
it's official game streaming on iOS is a safari affair google has announced

00:04:40.479 --> 00:04:46.560
they'll be bringing stadia to iphones and ipads through a web app accessed

00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:51.360
through a browser and NVIDIA will be doing the same thing with their

00:04:48.080 --> 00:04:53.120
streaming service GeForce now this makes

00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:57.120
so much more sense than having a normal streaming app on the app store like

00:04:54.880 --> 00:05:02.960
every other platform apple great call thanks they're truly a leader

00:05:00.320 --> 00:05:07.680
Intel has announced the nuk m15 laptop kit a so-called white book

00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:12.479
meant to be used as a baseline device that manufacturers can modify rebrand

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:17.120
and sell i guess nooks are now something more than just tiny pcs that are missing

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

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:25.680
damage inflicted to the rsibo radio telescope is too severe to repair safely

00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:29.440
so the observatory will be shut down and dismantled according to the national

00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:32.880
science foundation without the telescope our ability to listen for alien signals

00:05:31.039 --> 00:05:36.479
will be considerably reduced so here's hoping the invasion doesn't happen until

00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:41.520
after we build a replacement we're sitting ducks here thanks entropy and

00:05:38.960 --> 00:05:46.639
smash hit kids game roblox has gone public after experiencing a 68 revenue

00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:50.320
increase in 2020 so far the game's creators are looking to turn it into a

00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:54.000
more of a social space that can serve as a sort of metaverse which is exactly

00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:57.680
what fortnite and facebook's horizon are trying to do i would say it kind of

00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:01.600
sucks that these are the companies that are creating the virtual universe of the

00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:07.039
future but who am i kidding we deserve this we've done horrible things we must

00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:11.840
