1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,520
this is the 200th episode of tackling did you even did you even know that your

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:09,280
hair's going white is it besides oh gosh

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:14,000
it's been that long eh researchers working for the center for

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:18,640
it security privacy and accountability aka cispa

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:22,720
have discovered a dangerous vulnerability that could allow a hacker

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:27,599
to snoop on the traffic going between bluetooth devices the flaw is known as

7
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:31,199
the key negotiation of bluetooth attack or knob

8
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:37,200
that's brutal yeah it is knob can force bluetooth devices to use

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:42,320
a decryption key consisting of only one byte which makes brute force decryption

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:47,200
attacks super easy device manufacturers have started rolling out patches for

11
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:49,920
knob including Intel apple blackberry

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:55,760
microsoft lenovo and more so don't be a bloody knob update your device you wanka

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:59,600
are we allowed to say wanker i think so fortunately the bluetooth news isn't all

14
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:03,760
bad today scientists at the university of california have developed an app that

15
00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:08,640
can detect the bluetooth signature of credit card skimmers and gas pumps and

16
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:13,600
it found 64 skimmers across six states in one year so that's nice

17
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:17,840
see the world isn't so dark and horrible james there's good stuff happening

18
00:01:16,479 --> 00:01:22,240
it's fine back to some bad news though surface pro

19
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,640
6's and surface book 2s are being crippled by a firmware glitch causing

20
00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:31,680
the device's cpus to throttle down to 400 megahertz even the lowest spec

21
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:37,920
surface pro 6 with an Intel core i5 8520u runs at 1.6 gigahertz stock

22
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:41,200
that's four times the issue is apparently being caused by a system

23
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:45,280
component that thinks the CPU is running too hot so speeds are being throttled

24
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:49,360
there are also reports of users suffering from an inability to connect

25
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:53,680
to some wi-fi networks it's unclear whether they ask the starbucks employee

26
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:57,600
for the password some service owners have reported

27
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:02,320
unplugging their device from power helps while others say to install third-party

28
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:07,200
antivirus programs but the bug seems to have started off after a surface

29
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:10,640
firmware update on august 1st microsoft says they're aware of the issue and are

30
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:14,640
working on a firmware update to fix the faulty CPU temperature management should

31
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:17,680
have got a macbook pro yeah i think they're all throttled but

32
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,440
at least it's higher than 400 megahertz yeah you'll get way higher than that

33
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,520
well i mean you'll in a bad way

34
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,640
and facebook seems to be learning from all of its privacy breaching mishaps

35
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:33,840
just not in the way they should perhaps the

36
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:38,560
company is planning a number of pop-up cafes across the uk that will encourage

37
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:44,319
people to enjoy some free drinks take in some bland ikea decor and take part in

38
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,239
simple privacy checkups the objective is

39
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:50,000
reportedly to educate users about protecting their privacy online by

40
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:54,400
taking them through the privacy section of their facebook settings

41
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:58,319
facebook is the one to teach us about that why would i go in there

42
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:03,120
yeah because that's the problem facebook people don't know how to protect their privacy cambridge analytica harvesting

43
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:08,000
and exploiting the personal information of millions of users with facebook's help that's not that's not that's not

44
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:12,400
important oh sure i should have never installed

45
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:16,720
this service oh i should have never used facebook right now it's time for quick

46
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:20,400
bits brought to you by brilliance daily challenges brilliant believes that

47
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:24,640
becoming great at math science or computer science doesn't have to be dull

48
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:29,280
so they built a problem-solving website and app with over 50 interactive courses

49
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:33,680
chock-full of storytelling code writing and interactive challenges built for

50
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:36,879
ambitious and curious people like the scientific thinking course which helps

51
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,720
you develop a solid foundation in physics while playing with puzzles yay

52
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:46,319
they're a great compliment to watching educational videos that will help you master all kinds of technical subjects

53
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:50,720
and discover deep truths in unexpected places now that already sounds awesome

54
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:55,360
but you can also get 20 off a premium subscription by going to brilliant.org

56
00:03:56,959 --> 00:04:03,680
may find it's brilliant you'll find brilliant

57
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:08,480
look whether it's equipment or not i'm gonna say it

58
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:13,599
what alex folks we might have a GeForce rtx 2080 ti super on our hands if a new

59
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:18,479
listing in ida 64's change log is any indication down the hatches

60
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:24,120
it's a store there's a storm coming stock up on tv there's a reference to a

61
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:28,400
new graphics card designated GeForce rtx

62
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:31,199
t10-8 built on the tu-102 GPU the same

63
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:36,720
one used in the rtx titan rtx 2080 ti and the quadro rtx 8000 and 6000. now

64
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:40,800
why NVIDIA would do this remains unclear other than to just have another fancy

65
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:45,520
thing for rich people to buy oh that's it apple google and amazon all

66
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:49,840
suspended their human listening programs after it was discovered that user audio

67
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:54,560
is being recorded but microsoft is going to continue feeding audio from cortana

68
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:58,479
recordings to their contractors the company is only revising its privacy

69
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:03,759
policy to make it clear to users that their audio might be recorded and heard

70
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:06,160
by humans which choice yeah which is we

71
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:09,039
have so little data exactly it honestly makes more sense we know that the other

72
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,400
tech companies are going to resume the practice eventually if they haven't already

73
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,639
so it's it's kind of like cortana's the quiet girl in the back who everyone

74
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:22,400
ignores but who has something really interesting to say if you just let her let her speak up

75
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:26,720
for for god's sake man hi

76
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:30,560
actually security researchers at trend micro have identified 85 apps on the

77
00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:35,039
google play store that were little more than fronts for adware the apps had 8

78
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:39,520
million installs between them and this is like the 18th story about removing

79
00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:42,880
fraudulent apps with millions of installs oh they removed them i forgot

80
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:47,280
to say that google seems to really take an approved first ask questions later

81
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:53,120
type of approach with the play store another ar filter app it's probably fine

82
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:58,320
apple is suing a company called corillium for copyright infringement the

83
00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:02,960
small startup provides emulation of iOS devices on desktop machines which

84
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:06,800
doesn't seem that bad but the problem as apple sees it is that corellium is

85
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:11,840
selling access to its emulated iOS devices for profit and encouraging users

86
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:16,319
to sell security flaws they find in iOS on the open market so as much as i hate

87
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:20,880
to say it apple might

88
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,680
be doing the right thing here

89
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:30,240
and our last quick bit is actually about the line detective's folding team

90
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:34,080
hey i do that yeah if you don't know folding refers to running the folding at

91
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:39,680
home client on your computer which helps scientists do research on how proteins

92
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,840
fold october is LTT folding month and by

93
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:46,319
participating you can win steam gift cards game keys and event badges on the

94
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:49,919
LTT forums i got those badges do you yeah i don't have it i don't think i

95
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:54,240
have anything i got no badges i need to get more badges

96
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,840
i can so if you want to use your computer for a good cause check the link

97
00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:01,199
in the description trust me i said trust me it feels good but i

98
00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:05,440
don't do it it's pretty easy but i will do it heat your house up james told me

99
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:09,120
to do it do it all right that's enough i'm over this 200 episode that's a

100
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:12,880
that's a fine amount right we can go on vacation we can cut it off there just

101
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:20,400
kidding we'll be back on monday and i see and i still love you what

102
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:23,440
i'm i'm happy to be here tech lakes back

103
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,440
all right
