1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,440
God I'm sorry guys there's no Tech news today everyone everyone in Tech is just

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:14,160
kind of chilling it's not doing much oh psych oh

3
00:00:10,340 --> 00:00:16,020
your face was really good well you

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:22,140
should have seen your face anyone still using Windows 7 8 or 8.1 we'll be losing

5
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:26,100
the ability to run Steam at the end of this year part of the rationale for the

6
00:00:24,119 --> 00:00:31,560
sunset is that some of the newest steam features rely on an embedded version of

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:36,000
Google Chrome which has only limited functionality in older versions of the

8
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:40,620
OS okay the change will affect an estimated 1.9 percent of steam users

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:46,500
which is surprising for multiple reasons first that 1.4 percent of active account

10
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:50,160
holders are using Windows 7 a 13 year

11
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:52,620
old OS that was discontinued in 2015 but

12
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:56,760
hey I'm not judging some of us are judging second that

13
00:00:54,780 --> 00:01:01,559
number still surpasses steam accounts using any version of Linux I mean how

14
00:00:58,980 --> 00:01:05,939
are PC Gamers gonna continue complaining about Windows when we won't even switch

15
00:01:03,420 --> 00:01:10,080
you first though Microsoft ended all extended security updates for these

16
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:15,600
older os's in January of this year so if users do wait until valve's January 1st

17
00:01:12,659 --> 00:01:19,500
2024 deadline they will have slightly bigger problems than no longer being

18
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:23,280
able to download stardew Valley they will be using a dangerously vulnerable

19
00:01:21,180 --> 00:01:27,659
machine that hasn't been patched in nearly a year and no you you don't get

20
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:32,460
an achievement for that it's kind of it's kind of the opposite you failed to

21
00:01:30,060 --> 00:01:36,540
achieve an upgrade so yeah

22
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:40,079
Twitter is back in the news again because that's what happens when the

23
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:45,119
world's richest man buys the world's angriest group chat Elon Musk has

24
00:01:42,420 --> 00:01:51,720
announced that the only realistic way to address AI bot swarms taking over is

25
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:55,020
actual quote that's where Skynet started

26
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:57,479
is to allow only tweets Toten by Twitter

27
00:01:55,020 --> 00:02:03,180
blue subscribers to appear in the for you for you for you

28
00:02:00,060 --> 00:02:05,399
for you in the For You tab this change

29
00:02:03,180 --> 00:02:10,020
turned out to be so wildly unpopular that musk added a second tweet claiming

30
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:15,660
that users you follow directly will still appear on the For You tab he just

31
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:17,640
forgot slipped my mind so it won't only

32
00:02:15,660 --> 00:02:22,860
be crypto Bros with three followers who mostly tweet about Martha Stewart

33
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:25,500
secretly being an alien lizard phew

34
00:02:22,860 --> 00:02:30,120
musk also stated that voting in polls will require verification for same

35
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:33,780
reason and definitely not because of that time he made a poll asking if he

36
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:38,300
should step down his head of Twitter and 57.5 percent of respondents said yes

37
00:02:40,020 --> 00:02:47,879
on top of all that Legacy verification will be sun setting April 1st which is

38
00:02:45,180 --> 00:02:51,000
not an April Fool's joke unless the joke is that Brands celebrities and

39
00:02:49,620 --> 00:02:54,900
government officials will be forced to pay for verification or face rampant

40
00:02:52,980 --> 00:02:59,819
impersonation which admittedly was extremely funny last time even funnier

41
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:05,519
musk claimed in a memo to employees that Twitter is now worth 20 billion dollars

42
00:03:02,220 --> 00:03:08,940
less than half of what he paid for it so

43
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:11,099
Twitter can be thought of as an inverse

44
00:03:08,940 --> 00:03:18,239
startup which I guess is like the corporate equivalent of Benjamin Button

45
00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:19,620
it starts as a company with money and

46
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:24,480
then just goes the opposite way but don't worry

47
00:03:21,540 --> 00:03:30,239
musk sees a clear but difficult path to a future valuation of more than 250

48
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:35,040
billion once enough bot Farms by Twitter blue and Amazon has released a developer

49
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:40,860
kit for third parties to create devices for Amazon's Nationwide sidewalk mesh

50
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:45,540
Network which feels like a good moment to ask wait when did Amazon get a

51
00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:49,680
nationwide mesh Network you see for the last two years Amazon has been using

52
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:54,480
ring cameras and Echo speakers to send out low bandwidth signals too weak for

53
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:59,220
high bandwidth devices like phones but enough to connect other iot smart

54
00:03:56,459 --> 00:04:04,680
devices that need to Ping Amazon servers to function like TVs and blenders this

55
00:04:02,819 --> 00:04:09,480
was originally so that ring cameras could still ping when motion activated

56
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:13,920
even when offline through using another nearby device as a bridge even if that

57
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,160
device was on a different Wi-Fi network owned by a stranger and sure they

58
00:04:16,019 --> 00:04:22,800
wouldn't be strangers if you just introduced yourself to your neighbors like a normal person but that's Amazon

59
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:26,400
technically has permission to add these devices to its wide area network as part

60
00:04:24,780 --> 00:04:32,220
of their default settings which require users to opt out if they don't want to

61
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:35,220
be a part of it according to data stop

62
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:40,380
you bought it that's a yes you went to amazon.com

63
00:04:37,699 --> 00:04:44,520
according to data released by Amazon the sidewalk Network currently covers an

64
00:04:42,060 --> 00:04:49,740
area that includes around 90 percent of the U.S population that last 10 percent

65
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:53,759
they're coming for you now it's time for quick bits brought to you by brilliant a

66
00:04:51,780 --> 00:04:57,600
Hands-On and interactive way to learn stem topics they offer thousands of

67
00:04:55,979 --> 00:05:02,759
lessons with new topics to learn each month like their computer science fundamentals course after all if you

68
00:05:01,139 --> 00:05:05,759
don't understand the basics behind a problem where do you even start your

69
00:05:04,259 --> 00:05:09,180
troubleshooting if you're like an Amazon device without a mesh Network their

70
00:05:07,620 --> 00:05:12,960
services can be used to supplement a college education or you can use it if

71
00:05:10,919 --> 00:05:17,100
getting smart is just a passion of yours I just I just care about knowing stuff

72
00:05:15,060 --> 00:05:22,020
and the first 200 people who head to brilliant.org Tech link will get 20 off

73
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:27,720
an annual premium subscription so go on and get smart next up are the quick bits

74
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:31,680
not to be confused with fast pieces the cheap knockoff against which we are

75
00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:36,900
pursuing legal action the Australian government has proposed applying an 18

76
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:39,060
plus rating to video games with any form

77
00:05:36,900 --> 00:05:42,840
of simulated gambling that includes games based on real life gambling like

78
00:05:40,979 --> 00:05:47,280
poker and slot machines but also potentially any game with paid loot

79
00:05:45,479 --> 00:05:51,300
boxes apparently the Australian government thinks being constantly

80
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:56,160
exposed to gambling from an early age is bad for kids or something but I remember

81
00:05:53,460 --> 00:06:04,880
back in my day I had to walk to school through three casinos up here both ways

82
00:06:00,380 --> 00:06:04,880
we just [ __ ] each other in the yard

83
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:11,340
whoever had the knife won the Dolphin

84
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,840
Emulator for GameCube and we will be coming to steam this summer

85
00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:20,520
it will not however be providing the ROMs to run on it as usual instead there

86
00:06:18,539 --> 00:06:25,080
is a disclaimer on Steam that says that users must own an original copy of any

87
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:28,620
game they want to use with Dolphin this is an important legal distinction though

88
00:06:26,819 --> 00:06:34,039
I'm not sure how much that's going to matter to the players or more

89
00:06:30,660 --> 00:06:36,660
importantly Nintendo

90
00:06:34,039 --> 00:06:41,160
Nintendo V valve Google will be removing several features

91
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:46,139
from Fitbit accessories specifically anything that could be considered fun

92
00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:49,979
like challenges and Adventure races which encouraged users to compete

93
00:06:47,940 --> 00:06:54,300
against friends and family as motivation for a workout these social elements have

94
00:06:52,380 --> 00:06:58,800
been removed as part of an effort to streamline the Fitbit focusing on its

95
00:06:56,699 --> 00:07:02,699
intended purpose as a cold tool for measuring the health outcomes of

96
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:07,380
friendless losers after delaying the PC Port of The Last of Us Part One three

97
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:12,120
weeks to ensure its quality due to the popularity of the HBO adaptation no

98
00:07:09,419 --> 00:07:16,380
doubt the game finally came out yet in the place of a cordyceps fungus players

99
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:22,199
found a game infected with shiitake mushrooms that cost numerous issues okay

100
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:28,199
like making Joel look like an amnesiac tried to draw the gigachad from memory

101
00:07:26,039 --> 00:07:32,699
developer Naughty Dog apologized on Twitter for being a bad boy and not the

102
00:07:30,539 --> 00:07:37,020
fun kind what is the fun kind of bad boy like is that a sexy thing I'll tell you

103
00:07:35,099 --> 00:07:40,800
when you're older okay and over a thousand Tech experts including

104
00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:45,960
Engineers researchers and high profile figures like Steve Wozniak have signed

105
00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:50,759
an open letter urging a delay in AI development until we are sure that we

106
00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:54,360
can manage the potential risks setting aside the fact that a complete pause is

107
00:07:52,740 --> 00:07:59,639
absolutely definitely not going to happen there are

108
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:03,660
a lot of serious risks to AI Mass job loss criminal exploitation and

109
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:07,919
misinformation just last week an image created using mid-journey fooled the

110
00:08:05,580 --> 00:08:12,000
world into thinking the pope had a nice winter coat nobody even noticed that his

111
00:08:10,259 --> 00:08:15,960
hand was half phased through the lid of a cup or that the image of Jesus on his

112
00:08:13,919 --> 00:08:20,460
crucifix looked like a silver hot dog but it could have been a miracle you

113
00:08:18,060 --> 00:08:23,879
don't we absolutely cannot think that the pope has more drift than he has

114
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:27,419
already and that's all the tech news for the day come back on Friday if you want

115
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:30,599
more you could come back on Thursday but it's it's not gonna

116
00:08:29,220 --> 00:08:35,000
you're gonna then you're gonna just have to wait till Friday again so you see

117
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:35,000
what I mean when I say
