WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:07.520
this is the 200th episode of tackling did you even did you even know that your

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:09.280
hair's going white is it besides oh gosh

00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:14.000
it's been that long eh researchers working for the center for

00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:18.640
it security privacy and accountability aka cispa

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:22.720
have discovered a dangerous vulnerability that could allow a hacker

00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:27.599
to snoop on the traffic going between bluetooth devices the flaw is known as

00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:31.199
the key negotiation of bluetooth attack or knob

00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:37.200
that's brutal yeah it is knob can force bluetooth devices to use

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:42.320
a decryption key consisting of only one byte which makes brute force decryption

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:47.200
attacks super easy device manufacturers have started rolling out patches for

00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:49.920
knob including Intel apple blackberry

00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:55.760
microsoft lenovo and more so don't be a bloody knob update your device you wanka

00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:59.600
are we allowed to say wanker i think so fortunately the bluetooth news isn't all

00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:03.760
bad today scientists at the university of california have developed an app that

00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:08.640
can detect the bluetooth signature of credit card skimmers and gas pumps and

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:13.600
it found 64 skimmers across six states in one year so that's nice

00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:17.840
see the world isn't so dark and horrible james there's good stuff happening

00:01:16.479 --> 00:01:22.240
it's fine back to some bad news though surface pro

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:26.640
6's and surface book 2s are being crippled by a firmware glitch causing

00:01:24.479 --> 00:01:31.680
the device's cpus to throttle down to 400 megahertz even the lowest spec

00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:37.920
surface pro 6 with an Intel core i5 8520u runs at 1.6 gigahertz stock

00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:41.200
that's four times the issue is apparently being caused by a system

00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:45.280
component that thinks the CPU is running too hot so speeds are being throttled

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:49.360
there are also reports of users suffering from an inability to connect

00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:53.680
to some wi-fi networks it's unclear whether they ask the starbucks employee

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:57.600
for the password some service owners have reported

00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:02.320
unplugging their device from power helps while others say to install third-party

00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:07.200
antivirus programs but the bug seems to have started off after a surface

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:10.640
firmware update on august 1st microsoft says they're aware of the issue and are

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:14.640
working on a firmware update to fix the faulty CPU temperature management should

00:02:12.640 --> 00:02:17.680
have got a macbook pro yeah i think they're all throttled but

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:21.440
at least it's higher than 400 megahertz yeah you'll get way higher than that

00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:25.520
well i mean you'll in a bad way

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:28.640
and facebook seems to be learning from all of its privacy breaching mishaps

00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:33.840
just not in the way they should perhaps the

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:38.560
company is planning a number of pop-up cafes across the uk that will encourage

00:02:36.239 --> 00:02:44.319
people to enjoy some free drinks take in some bland ikea decor and take part in

00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:46.239
simple privacy checkups the objective is

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:50.000
reportedly to educate users about protecting their privacy online by

00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:54.400
taking them through the privacy section of their facebook settings

00:02:52.959 --> 00:02:58.319
facebook is the one to teach us about that why would i go in there

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

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

00:03:06.720 --> 00:03:12.400
important oh sure i should have never installed

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:16.720
this service oh i should have never used facebook right now it's time for quick

00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:20.400
bits brought to you by brilliance daily challenges brilliant believes that

00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:24.640
becoming great at math science or computer science doesn't have to be dull

00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:29.280
so they built a problem-solving website and app with over 50 interactive courses

00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:33.680
chock-full of storytelling code writing and interactive challenges built for

00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:36.879
ambitious and curious people like the scientific thinking course which helps

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:40.720
you develop a solid foundation in physics while playing with puzzles yay

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

00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:50.720
and discover deep truths in unexpected places now that already sounds awesome

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:55.360
but you can also get 20 off a premium subscription by going to brilliant.org

00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:59.280
techlink so go there or click the link in the description who knows what you

00:03:56.959 --> 00:04:03.680
may find it's brilliant you'll find brilliant

00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:08.480
look whether it's equipment or not i'm gonna say it

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

00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:18.479
listing in ida 64's change log is any indication down the hatches

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

00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:28.400
new graphics card designated GeForce rtx

00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:31.199
t10-8 built on the tu-102 GPU the same

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

00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:40.800
why NVIDIA would do this remains unclear other than to just have another fancy

00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:45.520
thing for rich people to buy oh that's it apple google and amazon all

00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:49.840
suspended their human listening programs after it was discovered that user audio

00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:54.560
is being recorded but microsoft is going to continue feeding audio from cortana

00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:58.479
recordings to their contractors the company is only revising its privacy

00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:03.759
policy to make it clear to users that their audio might be recorded and heard

00:05:00.479 --> 00:05:06.160
by humans which choice yeah which is we

00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:09.039
have so little data exactly it honestly makes more sense we know that the other

00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:12.400
tech companies are going to resume the practice eventually if they haven't already

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

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

00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:26.720
for for god's sake man hi

00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:30.560
actually security researchers at trend micro have identified 85 apps on the

00:05:29.039 --> 00:05:35.039
google play store that were little more than fronts for adware the apps had 8

00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:39.520
million installs between them and this is like the 18th story about removing

00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:42.880
fraudulent apps with millions of installs oh they removed them i forgot

00:05:40.960 --> 00:05:47.280
to say that google seems to really take an approved first ask questions later

00:05:45.440 --> 00:05:53.120
type of approach with the play store another ar filter app it's probably fine

00:05:51.520 --> 00:05:58.320
apple is suing a company called corillium for copyright infringement the

00:05:55.600 --> 00:06:02.960
small startup provides emulation of iOS devices on desktop machines which

00:06:00.320 --> 00:06:06.800
doesn't seem that bad but the problem as apple sees it is that corellium is

00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:11.840
selling access to its emulated iOS devices for profit and encouraging users

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

00:06:14.960 --> 00:06:20.880
to say it apple might

00:06:18.960 --> 00:06:23.680
be doing the right thing here

00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:30.240
and our last quick bit is actually about the line detective's folding team

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

00:06:32.080 --> 00:06:39.680
home client on your computer which helps scientists do research on how proteins

00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:41.840
fold october is LTT folding month and by

00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:46.319
participating you can win steam gift cards game keys and event badges on the

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

00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:54.240
have anything i got no badges i need to get more badges

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

00:06:55.840 --> 00:07:01.199
in the description trust me i said trust me it feels good but i

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

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

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

00:07:10.960 --> 00:07:20.400
kidding we'll be back on monday and i see and i still love you what

00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:23.440
i'm i'm happy to be here tech lakes back

00:07:20.400 --> 00:07:23.440
all right
