oh they clicked it guys guys they actually clicked on it
yeah yeah thank you so much
god bless you
thanks guys microsoft has sided with australia
in their feud with google you see last week the australian government proposed
new laws that would force google to pay local news outlets for the privilege of
indexing their content google's obviously not a fan of the idea so they
threatened to leave the country all together well microsoft is more than
happy to step in with their own little search engine bing yeah you know the one
the one that opens every time you start an edge browser you know every time you
mistype something in a Windows search even if your default browser is set to
something else it's super annoying but apparently the australian government
would rather deal with that instead of working with google on this especially
after microsoft says the proposed legislation reasonably attempts to
address the bargaining power and balance between digital platforms and australian
news businesses honestly i'm starting to think microsoft actually has it out for australia
they want to unload bing onto the island like a cargo ship
that the front fell off of that's a reference you'll never be able to get
the bing out boston dynamics is continuing its slow
replacement of human life with the announcement of some fancy accessories
for its dog-like robot spot the company had shown a prototype ARM attachment for
the unfeeling creature before but there's now an official ready-to-ship
version that spot can use to do well things that arms can do like
turning handles pulling levers and jabbing through multiple layers of human
flesh there's also a camera package with 30
times zoom and thermal imaging as well as a charging dock spot can park its ass
off for now human operators can control the robot
through the new scout browser based system but who knows how long it'll be
content to just follow orders you know i can't let you do that riley
and huawei's harmony os the operating system meant to replace Android on the
company's phones has been tested out by the folks at rs technica who found that
yeah uh it's Android literally it's Android huawei's brand
new os appears to be a fork of google's with the word Android removed and
replaced with harmony os it was a bit of
a disappointing result after the guys at ours went through a two-day background
check that included sending copies of their passport to the chinese government
also they weren't actually allowed to install the os on their phones huawei's
developer program involves streaming from a phone running harmony os back in
china so go read the rs technical piece and feel a little less fomo around the
normal boring Android version you're currently running because no iphone
people watch this show i'm sorry guys imagine someone with an
iphone having foam over harmony os
i want my phones built in china not designed there now it's time for quick

spacex has launched and crashed another starship prototype in almost the exact
same way as before don't you ever learn elon after a successful belly flop
maneuver one of the rocket's engines failed to ignite causing it to fall to the ground and
explode look it happens to the best of us okay
we all fall off countless times when we learn to ride a bike let's just hope
spacex learns to balance before their civilian manned flight currently
scheduled for the end of the year city project red has warned cyberpunk 2077
players against playing mods for the game right now because doing so could
allow hackers to exploit a vulnerability which can be used to execute code on pcs
and this is a week after the game first received support for mods quite
embarrassing although i have to say it's also super cyber fun don't run that mod my
vision is augmented following the announcement of mass effect legendary
edition which contains all three remastered original trilogy games and
their 40 dlc packs ea has said in an
earnings call that they're very very confident about bioware's future the
timing seems to make sense since the og mass effect games were
the last time anyone remembers playing a good bioware game oh

dragon age inquisition was okay but who doesn't have a good inquisition and
you've always been told to eat your spinach but it's 20 21 baby not baby
spinach now we use spinach for sending emails
scientists from mit have genetically engineered spinach with carbon nanotubes
built into its leaves which emit a fluorescent signal when the plant
detects certain chemical compounds in the ground
the signals are read by an infrared camera which can trigger a small
computer to send an email okay so the spinach plants aren't actually sending
the emails also the study was done in 2016 but it
went viral thanks to an article on euro news
just now i'm for i'm boarding the carbon nanotubes carbon spinach tubes
better end this episode now so you can go and get swell like popeye come back
