1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,720
wow the tech news it just it just keeps on coming doesn't it like a tidal wave

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:12,480
of soft serve from a 12 buffet but we

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:16,480
promise you it'll be a lot better than that sounds today americans are if

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:22,560
they're organized filing their taxes but europeans might

5
00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:25,439
soon be dealing with a far worse kind of

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:29,359
government encounter today the european union gave final

7
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:33,440
rubber stamp approval to its new copyright directive which has been a

8
00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:38,640
huge source of controversy for quite literally months opponents argue that

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:43,440
the law will both overburden businesses and stifle free expression online

10
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:48,160
because not only will sites that host video content including behemoths like

11
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:54,000
facebook and youtube have to obtain licenses first they will also need to

12
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:59,440
pass all content through copyright infringement detecting filters

13
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:02,800
so not only might this effectively ban

14
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:05,600
things like memes it's also unclear how

15
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:10,080
in the world the eu plans to enforce a scheme this far-reaching especially

16
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:13,119
because they did say i think at one point that there was a carve out for

17
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,720
memes what's the difference between a meme and

18
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:22,080
some other kind of copyright infringement i i don't know

19
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:27,520
how they managed to pass a law like this in the first place that makes about as

20
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:30,000
much sense as like that law in mobile

21
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:33,920
that bans confetti i think that even might make more sense yeah because

22
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:38,240
confetti is it's litter it's horrible and and there's a way to enforce it

23
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:42,320
it was announced last month that apple is going to offer a new gaming

24
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,479
subscription service as part of apple arcade that really does sound like the

25
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:50,640
stuffiest arcade doesn't it the pretentious arcade but it wasn't

26
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:54,479
clear exactly what to expect from it other than pretension well a recent

27
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:59,759
report might shed some light on the situation as apple is apparently

28
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:01,920
investing about a half a billion dollars

29
00:01:59,759 --> 00:02:07,520
into getting this project off the ground now obviously that isn't a small amount

30
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:09,920
of money but at the same time major aaa

31
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,879
titles can have budgets into the nine figures so

32
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:17,599
this could be an indication that apple wants to focus on having a large number

33
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:21,920
of simpler games that might take less development effort but would still be up

34
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:27,200
to a given quality standard a number of well-known developers like giant squid

35
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,800
konami and sega are all involved so

36
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:34,400
hopefully there will be some pretty robust options i i'm hoping for angry

37
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,120
birds 13. cut the rope yeah

38
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,040
like marvel edition ea doesn't have the best

39
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:43,440
reputation when it comes to micro transactions in games but the company is

40
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,720
asking gamers for a chance to learn from its mistakes i mean you don't have to

41
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:52,959
ask us for a chance to learn you just learn anyway this weekend the developer

42
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:57,760
released the trailer for star wars jedi fallen order coming this november

43
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:01,680
importantly ea asserted that the game would be

44
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:06,319
ready prepare yourself completely devoid of microtransactions and loot

45
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:11,120
boxes and taking it a step further the company

46
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:15,200
said they wouldn't surprise users by adding them later on

47
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:19,120
personally i believe it because no one was going to be surprised when they

48
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:23,519
added it later on many gamers were understandably

49
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:27,519
skeptical i mean the fact that this is a single player game might have

50
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:31,040
decreased the temptation that ea could have had to add these features that

51
00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:35,120
could give players an advantage over human rivals but

52
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:39,599
i guess it remains to be seen how this works out the game itself is set in

53
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:44,640
between episodes three and four featuring third person combat and a

54
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:49,280
strong emphasis on lightsaber skills as the player takes control of one of the

55
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:52,319
few jedi who survived the purge hopefully it'll actually be worth

56
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:57,360
picking up and not part of a money-grabbing sith plot this time

57
00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:01,439
because that's right it's a sith plot the sith they want more love money

58
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:05,840
though they love money just give me the money i'm assist now speaking of money

59
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:10,720

71
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:56,560
on to the bad quacks facebook is looking to simplify its

72
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:02,000
messaging options by adding messenger functionality back

73
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:06,160
to the facebook app itself firing off a quick chat will work fine but then if

74
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,800
you want to send a photo or make a call you'll still need to use the dedicated

75
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:16,639
messenger app uh facebook thinks this move makes sense to save data as in

76
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:21,840
helping facebook save your data by bringing you back into the full facebook

77
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:24,720
platform wait what is simpler about this you know what forget it i'm sticking to

78
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:27,840
what's oh wait

79
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:33,759
no if you're in the market for a self-driving tesla you might want to act

80
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:38,320
quickly as elon musk has confirmed that models with the full self-driving

81
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:42,320
feature will get more expensive on may the first by a few thousand dollars the

82
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:46,960
good news though is that if you do buy one now you'll still be able to get the

83
00:05:44,479 --> 00:05:52,240
upgraded self-driving computers in a few months by having your car retrofitted of

84
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:54,560
course nothing guarantees that tesla's

85
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:58,800
full self-driving feature will actually ever get certified to fully self-drive

86
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:03,600
on the road so that's cool

87
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:05,440
as well but but by now the uk is very

88
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:10,960
concerned about tactics that it says social media outfits used to keep

89
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:13,520
younger users addicted to their services

90
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:19,360
and specifically it mentioned facebook's venerable like button really the country

91
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:23,199
is reportedly looking at banning the like button

92
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:28,400
for users under 18 years old and this is part of a larger group of suggestions

93
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:32,000
mostly focused around limiting how much data can be collected from miners okay

94
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:36,479
that sounds like a good idea funnily enough the uk talked to a few hundred

95
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:41,199
children as part of putting these recommendations together which i guess

96
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:45,440
means that they were collecting data from miners

97
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:49,680
hypocrisy if you live in san francisco washington

98
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:54,960
dc or new york city you might not see any lift-branded e-bikes for a while as

99
00:06:51,919 --> 00:06:57,039
they've been apparently braking too hard

100
00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:02,240
that is to say that they're still intact they just slow down too fast reportedly

101
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:06,080
the brakes have put too much force on the front wheel resulting in several

102
00:07:03,919 --> 00:07:09,120
dozen injuries in new york although a new fleet of electric bikes

103
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:13,759
is going to be arriving in the near future lyft is temporarily replacing

104
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:17,039
them with traditional pedal-powered bicycles for the time being at least

105
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:21,120
this way you know that if you go over the handlebars well it's your own dang

106
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:26,280
fault and in something of a modern version of the computer deep blue

107
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:29,199
beating chess grandmaster gary kasparov

108
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:33,759
openai5 has recently triumphed over one of the world's best dota 2 teams og the

109
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:38,560
same team that won the valve international last year however open ai

110
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:44,000
also used machine learning to work out how to play on the same team as humans

111
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:49,599
and you can actually register to either play alongside or against the ai these

112
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:54,080
matches start in just a few days so get on it if you're excited to be

113
00:07:51,599 --> 00:07:58,240
embarrassed by a computer or to have an unfair advantage against human players

114
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:02,720
sorry why are we doing this yeah i don't get it and that's all the time we have

115
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:07,840
for today so get back here on wednesday for more tech news it won't be compiled

116
00:08:05,599 --> 00:08:14,000
by an ai but hopefully we'll figure out that out pretty soon so that we can

117
00:08:11,599 --> 00:08:17,199
something something layoff writers wait what that's a great idea john john wrote

118
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,759
that yeah
