WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.799
companies and announce and stuff and that's why we bring you tech news

00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:16.200
that's why we bring tech news that's why we bring tech news

00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:16.200
to tech news

00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:21.439
get it we're dead all of us it's over

00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:25.920
it was a good run there have been so many tech vulnerabilities announced in the past

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:29.760
couple days that we might as well give up now to start with security

00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:33.920
researchers from multiple universities and institutes have discovered more

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:39.280
possible attacks that take advantage of the speculative execution hardware found

00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:42.719
in basically all Intel processors made since 2011. that's the feature that was

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:47.280
also targeted by the spectre and meltdown attacks first disclosed in

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:52.640
january 2018. the new collection of attacks includes zombie load

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:56.559
ridl fallout and store to leak forwarding but Intel has taken to

00:00:54.640 --> 00:01:01.440
collectively referring to all of them as micro architectural data sampling or mds

00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:04.080
a lot catchier much better

00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:08.720
as the name implies these vulnerabilities allow attackers to steal

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:12.000
data directly from an Intel processor some companies have already started

00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:15.760
mitigating the risk with patches including apple turning off hyper

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:19.759
threading might help protect some systems but according to Intel it might

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:24.159
not actually have much of an effect regardless the newest chrome os build

00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:28.560
has shut off hyper threading by default i can't imagine many people are using

00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:33.439
hyper threading on chrome os systems it's very toxic but sure

00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:36.880
good job chrome unfortunately all users of Intel cpus can do to protect

00:01:35.119 --> 00:01:40.479
themselves right now is make sure your systems are up to date so you can get

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:44.799
security patches as soon as they come out users of AMD cpus meanwhile can put

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:49.759
their feet up and watch their rivals scramble you know maybe have some ice

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:54.399
cream yes let out a few belly laughs this is our time

00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:58.479
you're screwed but that's not all the security news we

00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:03.600
have today no microsoft has identified what they're calling a wormable flaw

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:08.479
which could if exploited lead to a global malware threat as dangerous as

00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:14.560
the wannacry epidemic that afflicted pcs worldwide worldwide in 2017 that was bad

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:18.319
they're calling it will cry for sure definitely actually no it won't because

00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:22.160
they've patched things let me tell you about it james okay the vulnerability

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:25.920
concerns Windows remote desktop capabilities and is so severe that older

00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:31.040
versions of Windows including server 2003 and xp are receiving patches to

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:35.440
protect anyone who might be the equivalent of the old hermit living in

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:40.080
the cave still using like a hand cranked pencil sharpener

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:45.280
that's that's the example i could come up with like old tech

00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:47.200
you know we all use electric ones now

00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:51.040
but guess what there's more google is telling users to get their titan

00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:55.599
bluetooth security keys replaced because its existing model could be easily

00:02:53.040 --> 00:03:00.080
hijacked by nearby attackers thanks to a misconfiguration in the device's pairing

00:02:57.760 --> 00:03:04.159
protocols and guess what else whatsapp identified a vulnerability that

00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:09.519
allowed attackers to successfully load spyware onto Android and iOS devices

00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:13.280
simply by voice calling them the victims didn't even have to pick up the call

00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:16.480
that's fixed now so make sure your apps are updated but like

00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:23.280
that's crazy shiza minelli can we stop with the hacking already it's enough to

00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:26.640
make a guy want to switch to a mac they don't get viruses

00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:29.760
technically none of those are viruses i think but

00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:33.680
okay moving on to product announcements we actually missed this reveal on monday

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

00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:42.239
first foldable pc

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

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

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

00:03:55.200 --> 00:04:01.360
display that folds in half like the samsung galaxy fold it will also have

00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:05.599
some sort of stand with the mechanical keyboard available when it launches

00:04:02.959 --> 00:04:09.360
apparently whenever lenovo decides to launch it and that's assuming it doesn't

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

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

00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:22.400
keyboard it's to keep just just put a keyboard on

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

00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:32.880
the drop vast curved gaming monitor this thing is a big boy ultra wide monitor

00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:36.080
with a 3440 by 1440 resolution measuring

00:04:32.880 --> 00:04:38.080
35 inches from one corner to the other

00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:42.080
one whether you're working watching a movie just browsing or pwning noobs

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:48.400
online you'll be completely immersed thanks to its 2500 to 1 contrast ratio

00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:50.800
100hz refresh rate with freesync support

00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:53.840
and 2 millisecond response time it's available right now through

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

00:04:55.919 --> 00:05:01.919
one time so i had to i've been doing them ever since

00:05:00.400 --> 00:05:05.440
don't you ever wish that your laptop had another tiny little screen next to the

00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:10.240
keyboard so you could like see stuff on there two no

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:14.800
that's so weird because hp for sure thought that you said that you did so

00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:17.600
they made the omen x2s a 15-inch laptop

00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:20.160
with an extra six inch touchscreen are you sure you didn't say that you

00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:24.160
wanted that i'm sure dude that's really weird oh and they also announced the

00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:27.919
omen photon a wireless mouse that can be charged by the omen outpost mouse pad

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

00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:39.440
oneplus 7 and 7 pro are finally out Linus really liked the 90hz display

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

00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:46.639
like a beefed up lower cost oneplus 6t

00:05:44.960 --> 00:05:50.479
but if you're looking for an another oppo owned phone brand with a little

00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:56.160
more personality you can also check out the realme x which has two color

00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:58.160
variants inspired by garlic and onions i

00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:03.680
love i need to get them both just don't try to plant a smooch on

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:05.520
anyone after using it am i right

00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:10.639
oh and hey one more phone while we're at it the motorola one vision has a super

00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:12.560
tall 21x9 6.3 inch display with a hole

00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:15.759
punch selfie camera it's part of the Android one program so while it's

00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:19.680
getting three years of security updates and the latest version of Android nine

00:06:17.440 --> 00:06:25.280
pi it's only launching in brazil and parts of europe for 299 euros

00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:28.319
no infinity stone in the forehead either for because it's vision

00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:35.520
AMD is returning to e3 to host their next horizon gaming event on june 10th

00:06:33.039 --> 00:06:39.120
during which they will unveil the next generation of AMD gaming products

00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:43.600
whether that means we'll see new graphics cards or the next gen xbox or a

00:06:41.840 --> 00:06:47.120
bunch of existing products that AMD has overclocked and slapped new names onto

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

00:06:48.880 --> 00:06:55.600
an official gamecube classic console from nintendo but youtuber mad morda

00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:59.599
went ahead and built her own using a trimmed down motherboard from a wii

00:06:57.280 --> 00:07:04.400
console and a gamecube shaped gummy candy case this is madness sounds

00:07:02.400 --> 00:07:08.240
delicious it requires a number of adapters to work properly but i don't

00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:13.199
require an adapter to connect with this little device in a really emotional way

00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:17.360
wow native support bless your heart morta unfortunately you can't bless this

00:07:15.440 --> 00:07:20.720
episode back to life because it's dead thanks for watching everybody subscribe
