1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,000
oh they clicked it guys guys they actually clicked on it

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:12,480
yeah yeah thank you so much

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,480
god bless you

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:20,240
thanks guys microsoft has sided with australia

5
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:24,080
in their feud with google you see last week the australian government proposed

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:28,400
new laws that would force google to pay local news outlets for the privilege of

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:32,160
indexing their content google's obviously not a fan of the idea so they

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:35,920
threatened to leave the country all together well microsoft is more than

9
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:41,120
happy to step in with their own little search engine bing yeah you know the one

10
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:45,040
the one that opens every time you start an edge browser you know every time you

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:48,480
mistype something in a Windows search even if your default browser is set to

12
00:00:46,879 --> 00:00:52,320
something else it's super annoying but apparently the australian government

13
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:56,000
would rather deal with that instead of working with google on this especially

14
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:59,760
after microsoft says the proposed legislation reasonably attempts to

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,280
address the bargaining power and balance between digital platforms and australian

16
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:08,720
news businesses honestly i'm starting to think microsoft actually has it out for australia

17
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:12,240
they want to unload bing onto the island like a cargo ship

18
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,360
that the front fell off of that's a reference you'll never be able to get

19
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,119
the bing out boston dynamics is continuing its slow

20
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:23,439
replacement of human life with the announcement of some fancy accessories

21
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:27,680
for its dog-like robot spot the company had shown a prototype ARM attachment for

22
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:32,400
the unfeeling creature before but there's now an official ready-to-ship

23
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:36,400
version that spot can use to do well things that arms can do like

24
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:40,079
turning handles pulling levers and jabbing through multiple layers of human

25
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,920
flesh there's also a camera package with 30

26
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:49,200
times zoom and thermal imaging as well as a charging dock spot can park its ass

27
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:53,200
off for now human operators can control the robot

28
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:58,000
through the new scout browser based system but who knows how long it'll be

29
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,479
content to just follow orders you know i can't let you do that riley

30
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:10,959
and huawei's harmony os the operating system meant to replace Android on the

31
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:16,160
company's phones has been tested out by the folks at rs technica who found that

32
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:20,560
yeah uh it's Android literally it's Android huawei's brand

33
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:25,920
new os appears to be a fork of google's with the word Android removed and

34
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,520
replaced with harmony os it was a bit of

35
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:31,280
a disappointing result after the guys at ours went through a two-day background

36
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:36,319
check that included sending copies of their passport to the chinese government

37
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:40,800
also they weren't actually allowed to install the os on their phones huawei's

38
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:45,680
developer program involves streaming from a phone running harmony os back in

39
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:50,000
china so go read the rs technical piece and feel a little less fomo around the

40
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:54,160
normal boring Android version you're currently running because no iphone

41
00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:59,200
people watch this show i'm sorry guys imagine someone with an

42
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,879
iphone having foam over harmony os

43
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,840
i want my phones built in china not designed there now it's time for quick

solving and active learning with courses laid out like bite-sized pieces of a

48
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:24,640
story you can interact with but wait are there like tests because tests are lame

49
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:28,400
or how about grades those suck too lol no bruh just pick a course that you're

50
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:32,000
into and get started whether you want to learn programming brush up on your

51

if you're a gamer it's never made much sense to get a macbook until now

56
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:58,080
NVIDIA's GeForce now cloud gaming service has been updated to work with

57
00:03:55,519 --> 00:04:02,640
apple's m1 max so you can finally join your pc gaming brethren online albeit

58
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:06,400
with a bit of latency but honestly that's what you get

59
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:11,200
that's what you get for wanting the best of both worlds because there's only one

60
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:14,480
world yeah i said it narnia isn't real okay

61
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:18,239
yeah but it's we're the bread then there's middle earth

62
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:22,400
and then there's the turtle all the way down turtle toast

63
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:26,080
spacex has launched and crashed another starship prototype in almost the exact

64
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,680
same way as before don't you ever learn elon after a successful belly flop

65
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,759
maneuver one of the rocket's engines failed to ignite causing it to fall to the ground and

66
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:39,600
explode look it happens to the best of us okay

67
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:42,960
we all fall off countless times when we learn to ride a bike let's just hope

68
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:46,560
spacex learns to balance before their civilian manned flight currently

69
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:50,960
scheduled for the end of the year city project red has warned cyberpunk 2077

70
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:55,360
players against playing mods for the game right now because doing so could

71
00:04:52,800 --> 00:05:00,880
allow hackers to exploit a vulnerability which can be used to execute code on pcs

72
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:04,720
and this is a week after the game first received support for mods quite

73
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:09,360
embarrassing although i have to say it's also super cyber fun don't run that mod my

74
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:12,560
vision is augmented following the announcement of mass effect legendary

75
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:17,360
edition which contains all three remastered original trilogy games and

76
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,759
their 40 dlc packs ea has said in an

77
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:24,639
earnings call that they're very very confident about bioware's future the

78
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:28,000
timing seems to make sense since the og mass effect games were

79
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,759
the last time anyone remembers playing a good bioware game oh

80
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:36,160
bow right in the kisser

81
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:39,199
dragon age inquisition was okay but who doesn't have a good inquisition and

82
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:44,400
you've always been told to eat your spinach but it's 20 21 baby not baby

83
00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:47,680
spinach now we use spinach for sending emails

84
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:52,639
scientists from mit have genetically engineered spinach with carbon nanotubes

85
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:56,000
built into its leaves which emit a fluorescent signal when the plant

86
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,960
detects certain chemical compounds in the ground

87
00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:02,160
the signals are read by an infrared camera which can trigger a small

88
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,960
computer to send an email okay so the spinach plants aren't actually sending

89
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:09,360
the emails also the study was done in 2016 but it

90
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:13,280
went viral thanks to an article on euro news

91
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:19,440
just now i'm for i'm boarding the carbon nanotubes carbon spinach tubes

92
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:23,759
better end this episode now so you can go and get swell like popeye come back
