WEBVTT

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

00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:12.480
of soft serve from a 12 buffet but we

00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:16.480
promise you it'll be a lot better than that sounds today americans are if

00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:22.560
they're organized filing their taxes but europeans might

00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:25.439
soon be dealing with a far worse kind of

00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:29.359
government encounter today the european union gave final

00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:33.440
rubber stamp approval to its new copyright directive which has been a

00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:38.640
huge source of controversy for quite literally months opponents argue that

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:43.440
the law will both overburden businesses and stifle free expression online

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:48.160
because not only will sites that host video content including behemoths like

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:54.000
facebook and youtube have to obtain licenses first they will also need to

00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:59.440
pass all content through copyright infringement detecting filters

00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:02.800
so not only might this effectively ban

00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:05.600
things like memes it's also unclear how

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:10.080
in the world the eu plans to enforce a scheme this far-reaching especially

00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:13.119
because they did say i think at one point that there was a carve out for

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:16.720
memes what's the difference between a meme and

00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:22.080
some other kind of copyright infringement i i don't know

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

00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:30.000
much sense as like that law in mobile

00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:33.920
that bans confetti i think that even might make more sense yeah because

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

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:42.320
it was announced last month that apple is going to offer a new gaming

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:46.479
subscription service as part of apple arcade that really does sound like the

00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:50.640
stuffiest arcade doesn't it the pretentious arcade but it wasn't

00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:54.479
clear exactly what to expect from it other than pretension well a recent

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:59.759
report might shed some light on the situation as apple is apparently

00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:01.920
investing about a half a billion dollars

00:01:59.759 --> 00:02:07.520
into getting this project off the ground now obviously that isn't a small amount

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:09.920
of money but at the same time major aaa

00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:12.879
titles can have budgets into the nine figures so

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:17.599
this could be an indication that apple wants to focus on having a large number

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.920
of simpler games that might take less development effort but would still be up

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:27.200
to a given quality standard a number of well-known developers like giant squid

00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:28.800
konami and sega are all involved so

00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:34.400
hopefully there will be some pretty robust options i i'm hoping for angry

00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:35.120
birds 13. cut the rope yeah

00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:39.040
like marvel edition ea doesn't have the best

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:43.440
reputation when it comes to micro transactions in games but the company is

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

00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:52.959
ask us for a chance to learn you just learn anyway this weekend the developer

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:57.760
released the trailer for star wars jedi fallen order coming this november

00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:01.680
importantly ea asserted that the game would be

00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:06.319
ready prepare yourself completely devoid of microtransactions and loot

00:03:04.959 --> 00:03:11.120
boxes and taking it a step further the company

00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:15.200
said they wouldn't surprise users by adding them later on

00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:19.120
personally i believe it because no one was going to be surprised when they

00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:23.519
added it later on many gamers were understandably

00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:27.519
skeptical i mean the fact that this is a single player game might have

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:31.040
decreased the temptation that ea could have had to add these features that

00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:35.120
could give players an advantage over human rivals but

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

00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:44.640
between episodes three and four featuring third person combat and a

00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:49.280
strong emphasis on lightsaber skills as the player takes control of one of the

00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:52.319
few jedi who survived the purge hopefully it'll actually be worth

00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:57.360
picking up and not part of a money-grabbing sith plot this time

00:03:54.640 --> 00:04:01.439
because that's right it's a sith plot the sith they want more love money

00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:05.840
though they love money just give me the money i'm assist now speaking of money

00:04:03.920 --> 00:04:10.720

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:56.560
on to the bad quacks facebook is looking to simplify its

00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:02.000
messaging options by adding messenger functionality back

00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:06.160
to the facebook app itself firing off a quick chat will work fine but then if

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

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:16.639
messenger app uh facebook thinks this move makes sense to save data as in

00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:21.840
helping facebook save your data by bringing you back into the full facebook

00:05:18.880 --> 00:05:24.720
platform wait what is simpler about this you know what forget it i'm sticking to

00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:27.840
what's oh wait

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

00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:38.320
quickly as elon musk has confirmed that models with the full self-driving

00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:42.320
feature will get more expensive on may the first by a few thousand dollars the

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

00:05:44.479 --> 00:05:52.240
upgraded self-driving computers in a few months by having your car retrofitted of

00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:54.560
course nothing guarantees that tesla's

00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:58.800
full self-driving feature will actually ever get certified to fully self-drive

00:05:56.960 --> 00:06:03.600
on the road so that's cool

00:06:00.320 --> 00:06:05.440
as well but but by now the uk is very

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:10.960
concerned about tactics that it says social media outfits used to keep

00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:13.520
younger users addicted to their services

00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:19.360
and specifically it mentioned facebook's venerable like button really the country

00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:23.199
is reportedly looking at banning the like button

00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:28.400
for users under 18 years old and this is part of a larger group of suggestions

00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:32.000
mostly focused around limiting how much data can be collected from miners okay

00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:36.479
that sounds like a good idea funnily enough the uk talked to a few hundred

00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:41.199
children as part of putting these recommendations together which i guess

00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:45.440
means that they were collecting data from miners

00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:49.680
hypocrisy if you live in san francisco washington

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

00:06:51.919 --> 00:06:57.039
they've been apparently braking too hard

00:06:54.960 --> 00:07:02.240
that is to say that they're still intact they just slow down too fast reportedly

00:07:00.080 --> 00:07:06.080
the brakes have put too much force on the front wheel resulting in several

00:07:03.919 --> 00:07:09.120
dozen injuries in new york although a new fleet of electric bikes

00:07:07.840 --> 00:07:13.759
is going to be arriving in the near future lyft is temporarily replacing

00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:17.039
them with traditional pedal-powered bicycles for the time being at least

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

00:07:18.960 --> 00:07:26.280
fault and in something of a modern version of the computer deep blue

00:07:23.280 --> 00:07:29.199
beating chess grandmaster gary kasparov

00:07:26.280 --> 00:07:33.759
openai5 has recently triumphed over one of the world's best dota 2 teams og the

00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:38.560
same team that won the valve international last year however open ai

00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:44.000
also used machine learning to work out how to play on the same team as humans

00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:49.599
and you can actually register to either play alongside or against the ai these

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

00:07:51.599 --> 00:07:58.240
embarrassed by a computer or to have an unfair advantage against human players

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

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

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

00:08:11.599 --> 00:08:17.199
something something layoff writers wait what that's a great idea john john wrote

00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:19.759
that yeah
