1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,799
companies and announce and stuff and that's why we bring you tech news

2
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:16,200
that's why we bring tech news that's why we bring tech news

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,200
to tech news

4
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,439
get it we're dead all of us it's over

5
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:25,920
it was a good run there have been so many tech vulnerabilities announced in the past

6
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:29,760
couple days that we might as well give up now to start with security

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:33,920
researchers from multiple universities and institutes have discovered more

8
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:39,280
possible attacks that take advantage of the speculative execution hardware found

9
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:42,719
in basically all Intel processors made since 2011. that's the feature that was

10
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:47,280
also targeted by the spectre and meltdown attacks first disclosed in

11
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:52,640
january 2018. the new collection of attacks includes zombie load

12
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:56,559
ridl fallout and store to leak forwarding but Intel has taken to

13
00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:01,440
collectively referring to all of them as micro architectural data sampling or mds

14
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:04,080
a lot catchier much better

15
00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:08,720
as the name implies these vulnerabilities allow attackers to steal

16
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:12,000
data directly from an Intel processor some companies have already started

17
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:15,760
mitigating the risk with patches including apple turning off hyper

18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,759
threading might help protect some systems but according to Intel it might

19
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:24,159
not actually have much of an effect regardless the newest chrome os build

20
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:28,560
has shut off hyper threading by default i can't imagine many people are using

21
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:33,439
hyper threading on chrome os systems it's very toxic but sure

22
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:36,880
good job chrome unfortunately all users of Intel cpus can do to protect

23
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:40,479
themselves right now is make sure your systems are up to date so you can get

24
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:44,799
security patches as soon as they come out users of AMD cpus meanwhile can put

25
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:49,759
their feet up and watch their rivals scramble you know maybe have some ice

26
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:54,399
cream yes let out a few belly laughs this is our time

27
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:58,479
you're screwed but that's not all the security news we

28
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:03,600
have today no microsoft has identified what they're calling a wormable flaw

29
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:08,479
which could if exploited lead to a global malware threat as dangerous as

30
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:14,560
the wannacry epidemic that afflicted pcs worldwide worldwide in 2017 that was bad

31
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,319
they're calling it will cry for sure definitely actually no it won't because

32
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:22,160
they've patched things let me tell you about it james okay the vulnerability

33
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:25,920
concerns Windows remote desktop capabilities and is so severe that older

34
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:31,040
versions of Windows including server 2003 and xp are receiving patches to

35
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:35,440
protect anyone who might be the equivalent of the old hermit living in

36
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:40,080
the cave still using like a hand cranked pencil sharpener

37
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:45,280
that's that's the example i could come up with like old tech

38
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:47,200
you know we all use electric ones now

39
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:51,040
but guess what there's more google is telling users to get their titan

40
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:55,599
bluetooth security keys replaced because its existing model could be easily

41
00:02:53,040 --> 00:03:00,080
hijacked by nearby attackers thanks to a misconfiguration in the device's pairing

42
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:04,159
protocols and guess what else whatsapp identified a vulnerability that

43
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:09,519
allowed attackers to successfully load spyware onto Android and iOS devices

44
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:13,280
simply by voice calling them the victims didn't even have to pick up the call

45
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,480
that's fixed now so make sure your apps are updated but like

46
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:23,280
that's crazy shiza minelli can we stop with the hacking already it's enough to

47
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:26,640
make a guy want to switch to a mac they don't get viruses

48
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:29,760
technically none of those are viruses i think but

49
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:33,680
okay moving on to product announcements we actually missed this reveal on monday

50
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:40,080
by a couple hours but lenovo showed off a prototype of what it calls the world's

51
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:42,239
first foldable pc

52
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,760
yeah yeah i know we're all thinking it but i don't know if laptops technically

53
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:51,840
fold because they have a hinge so it's more like opening and closing you know am i

54
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:57,360
is that anyway the device is more like a tablet with a single 13.3 inch 2k OLED

55
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:01,360
display that folds in half like the samsung galaxy fold it will also have

56
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:05,599
some sort of stand with the mechanical keyboard available when it launches

57
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:09,360
apparently whenever lenovo decides to launch it and that's assuming it doesn't

58
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:14,159
pull a galaxy fold and get recalled and delayed as soon as it shows up why do we

59
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:17,840
need these things do we no we don't why are we doing this to ourselves the

60
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:22,400
keyboard it's to keep just just put a keyboard on

61
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:27,120
there i'll tell you what we do need that's the quick bits brought to you by

62
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:32,880
the drop vast curved gaming monitor this thing is a big boy ultra wide monitor

63
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:36,080
with a 3440 by 1440 resolution measuring

64
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:38,080
35 inches from one corner to the other

65
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:42,080
one whether you're working watching a movie just browsing or pwning noobs

66
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:48,400
online you'll be completely immersed thanks to its 2500 to 1 contrast ratio

67
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:50,800
100hz refresh rate with freesync support

68
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:53,840
and 2 millisecond response time it's available right now through

69
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:58,320
drop.com so check it out at the link below they told me to do the quick bits

70
00:04:55,919 --> 00:05:01,919
one time so i had to i've been doing them ever since

71
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,440
don't you ever wish that your laptop had another tiny little screen next to the

72
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:10,240
keyboard so you could like see stuff on there two no

73
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:14,800
that's so weird because hp for sure thought that you said that you did so

74
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:17,600
they made the omen x2s a 15-inch laptop

75
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:20,160
with an extra six inch touchscreen are you sure you didn't say that you

76
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,160
wanted that i'm sure dude that's really weird oh and they also announced the

77
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:27,919
omen photon a wireless mouse that can be charged by the omen outpost mouse pad

78
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:34,320
that's cool not so much the other one after it was leaked a high heck the

79
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:39,440
oneplus 7 and 7 pro are finally out Linus really liked the 90hz display

80
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:44,960
pop-up selfie camera and 669 price tag of the 7 pro while the oneplus 7 is more

81
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:46,639
like a beefed up lower cost oneplus 6t

82
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:50,479
but if you're looking for an another oppo owned phone brand with a little

83
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:56,160
more personality you can also check out the realme x which has two color

84
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:58,160

91
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:25,280
pi it's only launching in brazil and parts of europe for 299 euros

92
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:28,319
no infinity stone in the forehead either for because it's vision

93
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:35,520
AMD is returning to e3 to host their next horizon gaming event on june 10th

94
00:06:33,039 --> 00:06:39,120
during which they will unveil the next generation of AMD gaming products

95
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,600
whether that means we'll see new graphics cards or the next gen xbox or a

96
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:47,120
bunch of existing products that AMD has overclocked and slapped new names onto

97
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,720
it remains to be seen we'll just we'll have to see and we may not have gotten

98
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:55,600
an official gamecube classic console from nintendo but youtuber mad morda

99
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:59,599
went ahead and built her own using a trimmed down motherboard from a wii

100
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:04,400
console and a gamecube shaped gummy candy case this is madness sounds

101
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:08,240
delicious it requires a number of adapters to work properly but i don't

102
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:13,199
require an adapter to connect with this little device in a really emotional way

103
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:17,360
wow native support bless your heart morta unfortunately you can't bless this

104
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:20,720
episode back to life because it's dead thanks for watching everybody subscribe

105
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:24,080
to techlink for some more heartwarming tech news every monday wednesday and

106
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:28,080
friday and we'll see you next time if all our computers don't explode by then
