if tech news makes you lose your mind please look away we are not liable for
damages that may occur while watching this video the chip shortage has made it almost
impossible to get your hands on basically any piece of consumer
electronics at its original retail price
and it's getting worse of course what did you think i was going
to say there china it's not riley
china has temporarily shut down power to several major manufacturing hubs and
attempt to reduce energy use and carbon emissions but Intel NVIDIA apple
qualcomm and other tech companies depend on those hubs for parts
it's a strange strategy for the government to use to say the least
because it's also affecting nearby residential regions in addition to
manufacturing hubs traffic lights those cause global warming
especially red ones wouldn't the green ones
fire well but it's watch out blazers no but the green one
the it's it's a higher energy beam it would use more energy
additionally capacitor factories in malaysia and indonesia have stopped
production due to lockdowns caused by rising cova cases
so you're gonna want to treat your electronics a bit more carefully than
you normally do to help them last longer which is
actually a good thing to do they have feelings or they might

were doing that that's terrible well instagram ceo tweeted about the pause
pointing that the age-appropriate versions of social apps would be
preferable to kids breaking through useless age gates on the full versions

using a filter
under increasing scrutiny facebook is trying to save its brand putting 50
million dollars towards building its metaverse responsibly by collaborating
with policymakers experts and industry partners but it's also kind of shooting

knee and you're groin man watch out i don't want that

monitor their driving behavior for seven days that's right tesla's ai which is
learning how to drive will assess how you drive to determine if you're safe
enough to let it drive makes loads of sense just like elon and
grimes is kid's name whoa alex
what it just broke out it's too soon how could you write that
i didn't write that and also i don't care
if you're accepted your car will assess your driving based on tesla's
five safety factors although some testers are noting you can get a pretty
high score by driving pretty dangerously
they must have trained their cars with elon's driving
i have no idea if he's a good driver didn't he like
reckon f1 no we gotta be terrible

together with harvard researchers the company published a scientific paper
describing a way to copy neurons from a human brain and paste them into high
density 3d network of solid-state memories which could serve as a shortcut
to creating more powerful neural networks many observers are pointing out
that this is dumb because neural networks are not configured the exact
same way as our brains but they'll feel differently once their samsung phone
scans their mind and assumes their identity by perfectly replicating their
thought and speech patterns hello samsung alex
