WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.000
oh they clicked it guys guys they actually clicked on it

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:12.480
yeah yeah thank you so much

00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:12.480
god bless you

00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:20.240
thanks guys microsoft has sided with australia

00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:24.080
in their feud with google you see last week the australian government proposed

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:28.400
new laws that would force google to pay local news outlets for the privilege of

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:32.160
indexing their content google's obviously not a fan of the idea so they

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:35.920
threatened to leave the country all together well microsoft is more than

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:41.120
happy to step in with their own little search engine bing yeah you know the one

00:00:38.879 --> 00:00:45.040
the one that opens every time you start an edge browser you know every time you

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:48.480
mistype something in a Windows search even if your default browser is set to

00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:52.320
something else it's super annoying but apparently the australian government

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:56.000
would rather deal with that instead of working with google on this especially

00:00:54.160 --> 00:00:59.760
after microsoft says the proposed legislation reasonably attempts to

00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:03.280
address the bargaining power and balance between digital platforms and australian

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:08.720
news businesses honestly i'm starting to think microsoft actually has it out for australia

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:12.240
they want to unload bing onto the island like a cargo ship

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

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:19.119
the bing out boston dynamics is continuing its slow

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:23.439
replacement of human life with the announcement of some fancy accessories

00:01:21.119 --> 00:01:27.680
for its dog-like robot spot the company had shown a prototype ARM attachment for

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:32.400
the unfeeling creature before but there's now an official ready-to-ship

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:36.400
version that spot can use to do well things that arms can do like

00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:40.079
turning handles pulling levers and jabbing through multiple layers of human

00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:43.920
flesh there's also a camera package with 30

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:49.200
times zoom and thermal imaging as well as a charging dock spot can park its ass

00:01:46.720 --> 00:01:53.200
off for now human operators can control the robot

00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:58.000
through the new scout browser based system but who knows how long it'll be

00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:02.479
content to just follow orders you know i can't let you do that riley

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:10.959
and huawei's harmony os the operating system meant to replace Android on the

00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:16.160
company's phones has been tested out by the folks at rs technica who found that

00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:20.560
yeah uh it's Android literally it's Android huawei's brand

00:02:18.239 --> 00:02:25.920
new os appears to be a fork of google's with the word Android removed and

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:27.520
replaced with harmony os it was a bit of

00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:31.280
a disappointing result after the guys at ours went through a two-day background

00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:36.319
check that included sending copies of their passport to the chinese government

00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:40.800
also they weren't actually allowed to install the os on their phones huawei's

00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:45.680
developer program involves streaming from a phone running harmony os back in

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:50.000
china so go read the rs technical piece and feel a little less fomo around the

00:02:48.239 --> 00:02:54.160
normal boring Android version you're currently running because no iphone

00:02:52.239 --> 00:02:59.200
people watch this show i'm sorry guys imagine someone with an

00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:00.879
iphone having foam over harmony os

00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:03.840
i want my phones built in china not designed there now it's time for quick

00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:08.480
bits brought to you by brilliant the website and app that makes learning

00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:11.519
accessible fun and most important 100 pretty cool

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

00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:24.640
story you can interact with but wait are there like tests because tests are lame

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

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:32.000
into and get started whether you want to learn programming brush up on your

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:37.440
algebra or find out what the heck a neural network is anyway are they inside

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:41.200

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

00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:58.080
NVIDIA's GeForce now cloud gaming service has been updated to work with

00:03:55.519 --> 00:04:02.640
apple's m1 max so you can finally join your pc gaming brethren online albeit

00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:06.400
with a bit of latency but honestly that's what you get

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

00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:14.480
world yeah i said it narnia isn't real okay

00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:18.239
yeah but it's we're the bread then there's middle earth

00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:22.400
and then there's the turtle all the way down turtle toast

00:04:20.400 --> 00:04:26.080
spacex has launched and crashed another starship prototype in almost the exact

00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:29.680
same way as before don't you ever learn elon after a successful belly flop

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

00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:39.600
explode look it happens to the best of us okay

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

00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:46.560
spacex learns to balance before their civilian manned flight currently

00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:50.960
scheduled for the end of the year city project red has warned cyberpunk 2077

00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:55.360
players against playing mods for the game right now because doing so could

00:04:52.800 --> 00:05:00.880
allow hackers to exploit a vulnerability which can be used to execute code on pcs

00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:04.720
and this is a week after the game first received support for mods quite

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

00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:12.560
vision is augmented following the announcement of mass effect legendary

00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:17.360
edition which contains all three remastered original trilogy games and

00:05:14.320 --> 00:05:19.759
their 40 dlc packs ea has said in an

00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:24.639
earnings call that they're very very confident about bioware's future the

00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:28.000
timing seems to make sense since the og mass effect games were

00:05:26.320 --> 00:05:31.759
the last time anyone remembers playing a good bioware game oh

00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:36.160
bow right in the kisser

00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:39.199
dragon age inquisition was okay but who doesn't have a good inquisition and

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

00:05:41.919 --> 00:05:47.680
spinach now we use spinach for sending emails

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:52.639
scientists from mit have genetically engineered spinach with carbon nanotubes

00:05:50.320 --> 00:05:56.000
built into its leaves which emit a fluorescent signal when the plant

00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:58.960
detects certain chemical compounds in the ground

00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:02.160
the signals are read by an infrared camera which can trigger a small

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:04.960
computer to send an email okay so the spinach plants aren't actually sending

00:06:03.840 --> 00:06:09.360
the emails also the study was done in 2016 but it

00:06:06.880 --> 00:06:13.280
went viral thanks to an article on euro news

00:06:11.280 --> 00:06:19.440
just now i'm for i'm boarding the carbon nanotubes carbon spinach tubes

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:23.759
better end this episode now so you can go and get swell like popeye come back

00:06:21.840 --> 00:06:28.720
on friday for more tech news and you're going to click that one too

00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:28.720
right we're going to be waiting
