00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:06.560
oh my god it's actually happening guys

00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:09.840
the tech news it's here okay okay okay waiting okay

00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:14.000
apple is facing two lawsuits in california concerning apple id linked

00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:18.000
purchases the first one was filed by matthew price who allegedly violated

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:22.640
apple's terms and conditions so apple terminated his apple id cutting him off

00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:26.960
from the nearly 25 thousand dollars worth of content he had purchased on his

00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:33.280
account what apps are you buying just for fun the second lawsuit is a proposed

00:00:29.439 --> 00:00:35.280
class action led by one david andino so

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:39.520
close to being arduino who's arguing that apple's use of the word buy and

00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:44.320
purchase on digital platforms is legally problematic since the buyers of content

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:49.280
would lose access to it if apple decided to remove it or remote revoke the user's

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:53.680
apple ids like they did deport matthew price

00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:57.120
our friend there's a price to pay apple motioned to have the second lawsuit

00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:00.879
dismissed but a federal judge rejected the motion

00:00:58.879 --> 00:01:05.439
kicked it down a well meaning that well guys as a society we're gonna have to

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:10.720
talk about what it means to really own things in the digital age thankfully i

00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:15.200
already have that answer and it's nfts shop riley they're the future

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:19.680
youtube has shown off a big old custom designed video transcoding processor

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:25.040
they call the video transcoding unit or bcu another initialism for your life the

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:29.520
vcu is a dual processor PCIe card that can transcode up to 20 to 33 times

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:33.200
faster than their previous setup using traditional servers and it's supposed to

00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:37.600
streamline youtube's ability to deliver videos at multiple different resolutions

00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:42.000
it makes sense that that youtube also rolled out today new video quality

00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:46.479
controls in the mobile app instead of picking just a video resolution directly

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:50.399
users are now prompted to select auto higher picture quality or data saver

00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:53.920
options which will pick an appropriate playback resolution for you you don't

00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:57.920
know what you want your life's so easy now there's also an advanced option

00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:02.000
which does still let you pick a specific resolution but now it's an extra step to

00:01:59.759 --> 00:02:06.399
get there so frankly i don't want that anymore it's not worth it google here's

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:10.640
a cod that i'd like to see the rtx 3080ti

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:14.480
yowza there's pretty much no more room to be skeptical about this monster as

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:18.160
the GPU itself has been photographed in the wild while its full specifications

00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:24.720
haven't been confirmed it will almost certainly have 10 240 cuda cores and 12

00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:29.520
gigabytes of gddr6x memory it's reportedly set to come out sometimes in

00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:33.360
may with the rtx 3070 ti rumored to follow in june

00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:36.959
sometimes in may that happens you know it can be colder than april and kind of

00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:40.400
a sad development it seems like much of the speculation about these cards

00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:44.959
performance is focused on mining power rather than gaming power gp i like to

00:02:43.519 --> 00:02:48.879
call it but maybe they'll launch with NVIDIA's new and improved mining limiter

00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:53.200
that's most definitely unhackable and won't be bypassed in a mere number of

00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:53.200
days

00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:00.480

00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:35.280
consumes no reduce reuse recycle yes you're right go

00:03:31.440 --> 00:03:36.799
james use quick bits james

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:40.000
are you redditer claiming to work for canada computers blew the whistle

00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:43.840
yesterday on the retailer's alleged practice of withholding graphics cards

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:47.360
from willing buyers unless they purchased it as part of a complete

00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:50.799
custom build the employee had screenshots of the company's internal

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:55.920
system to back up their claims but the post has since been deleted hopefully cc

00:03:54.159 --> 00:04:00.959
didn't find out who the whistleblower was cc meaning canada computers and not

00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:05.280
carpal critics our movie podcast because if this is true then they're

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:09.840
pulling a real ncix here and i don't mean giving a young double ear pierce

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:14.640
tech nerd a platform to drop things on on camera i wish i don't mean that i

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:18.160
mean the bad way qnap devices are being actively attacked by ransomware called q

00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:22.560
locker clocker which locks user files in a

00:04:20.479 --> 00:04:26.080
password-protected 7-zip archive unless they pay

00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:29.759
money qnap says that if you haven't been infected yet update your device software

00:04:28.080 --> 00:04:34.080
and never go on the internet again unless you want to pay money some cool

00:04:32.080 --> 00:04:38.000
space news today spacex has delivered another payload of astronauts to the

00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:44.080
international space station using the crew dragon module and a reused falcon 9

00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:46.240
rocket so i guess it works

00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:51.680
meanwhile nasa's perseverance rover used an experimental module called moxie or

00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:53.759
mars oxygen in-situ resource utilization

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:58.960
experiment pretty sure they got the word first to produce five grams of oxygen

00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:03.520
from the carbon dioxide in mars atmosphere that's about ten minutes of

00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:08.080
breathable air for an astronaut in space yeah you know well on a planet

00:05:05.840 --> 00:05:12.960
if they're if they're like chill not hyperventilate not hyperventilated ceo

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:16.639
of encrypted chat app signal moxie there's that word again marlin spike

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:21.680
claims to have hacked celebrate a software tool used by the fbi to hack

00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:25.840
into encrypted iphones or phones generally but mostly marlon spike says

00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:29.680
celebrate contains code that is apparently the intellectual property of

00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:34.720
apple potentially getting celebrate into legal trouble in addition to the shame

00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:38.240
of being a hacking tool that got hacked no one wants to be in that i guess they

00:05:36.400 --> 00:05:43.520
shouldn't have said they cracked signals encryption since that seems to be what

00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:47.759
gave moxie his moxie in the first place maps him all in spite

00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:52.720
yeah the famous wait till you meet his friend hotspot

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:56.960
and the entire university of minnesota has been banned from contributing code

00:05:54.560 --> 00:06:01.600
to the Linux kernel after a phd student submitted patches with known security

00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:06.639
flaws as an experiment well i hope it was worth it smart guy or gal now you

00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:10.720
have to explain this to the whole school in front of everyone probably naked i've

00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:14.560
seen the 80s movies or at least the 0.5 who are going to

00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:17.840
submit code to the Linux kernel it's time to submit to the limits of space

00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:20.960
time and end this episode come back on monday for more tech news and stick

00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.840
around for the next five seconds to see Linus sebastian

00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:28.919
hey Linus when are you gonna host TechLinked again
