WEBVTT

00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:07.920
oh uh did some did someone ask for some tech news in here I I could have sworn I

00:00:06.279 --> 00:00:12.960
was it you was

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:17.439
it why aren't you saying anything turns out that little chomecast outage we

00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:22.880
briefly covered in a quick bit on Monday was a bigger deal than it seemed as

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:28.000
today marked the fourth day owners were unable to use their second gen

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:30.080
chromecasts and chomecast audio devices

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:33.800
Google quickly promised users they were working on a fix when all this news

00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:39.120
broke though they still haven't figured it out so they've issued an apology

00:00:36.680 --> 00:00:42.960
which is great I'll forward that over to my friends who messaged me looking for

00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:47.520
answers after probably spending hours troubleshooting their parents chomecast

00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:52.960
look at their faces that I won't show to you for privacy re imagine it Google

00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:58.719
also helpfully instructed users to not factory reset their devices a day after

00:00:56.239 --> 00:01:04.600
most of them probably already tried that especially this person who says Google

00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:06.000
told them to factory reset it that's how

00:01:04.600 --> 00:01:12.040
Google figured out it was bad sacrificial lamb but why why all of this

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:15.479
pain well according to Reddit user madh

00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:18.479
Hatter 369 the issue is most definitely

00:01:15.479 --> 00:01:22.520
due to one of the chomecast certificates

00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:25.880
having an expiry date of March 9th 2025

00:01:22.520 --> 00:01:28.560
the day all of this went down ah if only

00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:33.240
there was some way to predict this uh to be fair to Google though the second gen

00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:37.040
chomecast launched 10 years ago and it is a Google product at the time they

00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:40.560
probably thought they'd let it live a few years at most before taking it out

00:01:38.960 --> 00:01:46.840
back themselves hey you want to hear about tech that's working great though

00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:50.079
AMD's ryzen 9950 x3d which launched

00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:52.119
yesterday for $700 making it the most

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:56.880
expensive mainstream processor on the market right now but reviewers are

00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:02.039
making it look like it's also the best on the market marrying the gaming

00:01:59.039 --> 00:02:05.399
performance of the 8 core ryzen 7 9800

00:02:02.039 --> 00:02:09.800
x3d with productivity chops that beat

00:02:05.399 --> 00:02:13.000
the 16 core 9950 X non-3d in Jake's

00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:15.640
shortcircuit video which is not a review

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:19.760
okay he's just vibing the 9800 x3d pulled slightly ahead in games on

00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:25.879
average with other outlets finding similar results but the 9950 x3d was a

00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:31.840
clear leader in multicore optimized applications except apparently for

00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:35.000
cinebench where the Intel core Ultra 9

00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:36.840
285k randomly pulled ahead get out of

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:44.840
there you're not supposed to that's not sit down now AMD also launched the ryzen

00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:46.959
9 9900 x3d yesterday for 600 bucks but

00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:52.120
as Leo from kit Guru points out this seems to be another example of Team

00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:54.200
Red's tactic of launching a Fall Guy

00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:59.159
product to emphasize how good of a deal the more expensive one is which works

00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:05.239
great if you want customers to like you but not too too much they can be clingy

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:08.120
speaking of six CPUs reviews also went

00:03:05.239 --> 00:03:13.400
up for Apple's new M4 powered MacBook Air with reviewers praising yet another

00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:18.680
Apple s so that can run circles around basically any Windows laptop in its

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:21.120
class without using any fans for cooling

00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:29.360
it's embarrassing and it makes me feel bad although hold up PC mag had the Acer

00:03:24.440 --> 00:03:33.080
Swift ai14 powered by a ryzen AI 9 365

00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:35.120
beat the M4 MacBook Air in cinebench

00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:39.920
there's that weird cinebench result again either something's wonky with that

00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:44.200
bench mark or this laptop did better cuz it has AI in its name it's enough for

00:03:42.040 --> 00:03:47.519
investors reviews were similarly positive for the other chip

00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:53.000
configurations Apple launched for the Mac Studio the M3 Ultra is being hailed

00:03:50.760 --> 00:03:58.560
as the most powerful s so apples ever launched mostly because of its 32 CPU

00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:04.799
cores and support for up to 512 GB of unified RAM the also just launched M4

00:04:01.959 --> 00:04:10.400
Max has higher single core performance but Max is out at 16 CPU cores and 256

00:04:08.040 --> 00:04:15.840
gigs of RAM but Apple surprisingly improved on something else this week

00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:20.720
their receptiveness to criticism the company added a disclaimer on their

00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:26.320
iPhone 16 series product pages saying that series cool AI update will be

00:04:23.960 --> 00:04:31.320
coming later after the company was criticized for continuing to advertise

00:04:28.840 --> 00:04:36.360
AI Siri as if she was in the room with us right now if she was she'd probably

00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:39.639
be going around handing out printed Map Quest directions that include driving

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:43.280
through a lake or something it would be very obvious how about instead you use a

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:47.800

directly to me when I'm actually doing the quick bits but I can't help thinking

00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:42.319
that you could if you just tried a little harder you know just just o

00:05:39.400 --> 00:05:47.120
lookie here onleaks has provided Android headlines with exclusive renders of

00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:51.520
Google's upcoming pixel 10 featuring three rear cameras a privilege

00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:56.759
previously reserved for only the pro tier pixel models but I'll do you one

00:05:53.919 --> 00:06:02.400
better said YouTuber Alexis Garza who posted a short showing the pixel 9A a

00:05:59.960 --> 00:06:07.000
which is expected to arrive later this month it's little sausage shaped camera

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:12.880
module looks kind of perfect next to the bag of wet sausages Alexis was holding

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:18.759
which I think I'll soon learn are not sausages but rather another kind of wet

00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:23.800
oblong snack of some kind now's your chance I'm going to

00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:25.960
check the comments netic Labs has sold

00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:32.039
the IP rights and development teams behind location-based games Pokémon go

00:06:28.880 --> 00:06:34.759
Pikmin Blom and Monster Hunter now to

Saudi Investment Company scopely for $3.5 billion scopely also owns Monopoly

00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:46.199
go which is kind of perfect Niantic said the move will ensure these games have

00:06:43.599 --> 00:06:51.120
the long-term support needed to be forever games that players can continue

00:06:48.599 --> 00:06:55.759
to be obsessed with on their deathbed and into the Beyond turns out you can

00:06:54.080 --> 00:07:01.879
take it with you Google Deep Mind has announced its latest Gemma 3 smallish

00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:07.039
model which it says is the best model you can run on a single GPU although

00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:11.120
they mean a single NVIDIA h100 accelerator not the gaming gpus that you

00:07:09.440 --> 00:07:16.120
can't buy right now Google also announced Gemini robotics a suite of

00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:22.240
multimodal models that can enable greater dexterity in robots so they can

00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:24.160
fold origami zip things up struggle to

00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:29.520
clean up your desk as you actively make it messy and even follow directions when

00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:33.599
told to slam dunk a tiny baset basketball without being trained for

00:07:31.479 --> 00:07:37.400
that situation specifically although maybe it should have been because with

00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:44.080
that little gentle drop this robot wasn't exactly channeling LeBron okay so

00:07:41.280 --> 00:07:49.159
Nintendo switch emulator citen has dropped a new update adding multiplayer

00:07:46.479 --> 00:07:53.159
support in the 2025 equivalent of a neanderthal heading out to hunt a

mammoth with nothing but his bare hands sure the citen team has a notice on

00:07:55.240 --> 00:08:01.639
their website saying they don't condone piracy which will probably make

00:07:59.479 --> 00:08:05.159
Nintendo's lawyers hesitate just long enough for the devs to realize they've

00:08:03.840 --> 00:08:10.520
made a mistake but what a thrill and a man with

00:08:07.919 --> 00:08:15.479
an artificial heart implant survived a 100 days outside of hospital before he

00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:19.680
was able to get a donated heart successfully implanted according to the

00:08:17.440 --> 00:08:25.520
artificial heart maker Australian company bacor the device called the

00:08:23.039 --> 00:08:31.360
total artificial heart is made of metal and uses a magnetic constantly powered

00:08:28.280 --> 00:08:33.440
rotor to push blood throughout the body

00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:39.080
which results in its user having no pulse rendering Untold numbers of Love

00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:44.279
song lyrics about heartbeats meaningless is the trade-off really worth it yeah

00:08:41.959 --> 00:08:48.360
probably it's also incredibly worth it to come back here on Friday for more

00:08:45.880 --> 00:08:54.839
Tech news a statement I can only assume you agree with unless you say otherwise

00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:58.120
write this second man I'm not hearing

00:08:54.839 --> 00:08:58.120
anything so so
