WEBVTT

00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:05.920
whoa oh what are you guys up to

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:11.360
tech news ha far out past the tech news dude

00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:17.359
what timeline are we in answer the confusing one because apple

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:19.039
and google have apparently joined forces

00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:23.199
the two web giants are developing technology that can alert people if they

00:00:21.119 --> 00:00:28.640
have come in contact with others who later get diagnosed with covid19 it's a

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:32.079
process called contact close

00:00:29.599 --> 00:00:36.719
it's a process called contact tracing and it usually involves simply asking

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:39.760
someone about their past activities okay

00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:42.879
the new method uses bluetooth because you can't just straight up talk to

00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:46.640
people anymore you're in quarantine okay you gotta use good technology see our

00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:51.360
phones are constantly sending out little pings storing anonymized data about what

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:55.199
other devices are in close proximity once those other devices bluetooth

00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:58.960
signatures are cataloged this method could tell whether we had been close to

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:03.039
someone that was infected with coven researchers at mit are working on a

00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:08.320
similar system as well so they might join apple and google's unholy union

00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:13.360
i mean if you needed any more evidence that were in the apocalypse

00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:15.920
google and apple and mit all we're gonna

00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:19.680
they all hate each other and my blooper t stop it's not a thing stop trying to

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:25.680
make it a thing google's busy doing other things in addition to cooperating with their sworn

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:30.799
rival in their latest messaging strategy twist the text-based hangouts chat and

00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:36.400
video focused hangouts meet are being rebranded to google chat and google meat

00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:41.840
now this isn't the same consumer version of hangouts that has existed since 2013

00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:44.320
which was itself a rebranding of g chat

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:48.079
if you're not a g suite business user hangouts will still exist

00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:51.280
for some reason i mean it kind of makes sense google has

00:01:49.600 --> 00:01:54.799
said they'll discontinue hangouts for a long time now so it just made the

00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:58.560
confusion worse to have the brand name hanging around if this is called

00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:02.240
google me then what are they going to call it when they acquire beyond me

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:09.119
have you tried our new google meet

00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:13.040
the move follows an increased emphasis on video calling by a bunch of companies

00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:16.560
during the pandemic microsoft just added custom backgrounds to teams to compete

00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:20.480
with zoom although it looks like they won't have to try so hard since zoom is

00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:24.800
being banned in some places due to its security problems pretty sad that we

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:29.520
can't hang out anymore james but i guess we'll find a way

00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:33.519
you left our carpool i did and talk about shooting the messenger

00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:38.560
animal crossing new horizons has been abruptly pulled from retailers in china

00:02:36.239 --> 00:02:42.480
after the game was used by pro hong kong protesters as a way to demonstrate while

00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:47.360
remaining inside why didn't they ban blizzard

00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:51.360
we'll talk about that later protesters have posted messages reading free hong

00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:56.560
kong and various images of hong kong governor carrie lam and chinese

00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:56.560
president winnie the xi jinpoo

00:02:56.959 --> 00:03:02.959
pin duo duo and taobao have both pulled the game from sale and although it's not

00:03:01.519 --> 00:03:06.800
clear if the reason for this was a government directive it's

00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:10.800
i mean it's it's these guys

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:15.680

00:03:54.319 --> 00:04:01.200
bits i don't know what i was thinking when i wrote that google is reportedly going to

00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:04.959
have to start paying french publishers for linking to their content after a

00:04:03.040 --> 00:04:11.280
ruling by france's competition watchdog

00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:13.680
the ato rote de la concoraos

00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:17.040
okay if this model is adopted by other eu countries and eventually north

00:04:15.200 --> 00:04:21.600
america it could mean a massive restructuring of the way the internet

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:26.320
economy works and this channel would might be screwed

00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:28.160
to be to be to be frank mercy references

00:04:26.320 --> 00:04:31.680
to a high performance GPU have been spotted in documents published by Intel

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:36.800
and it started a round of rumor-mongering about whether this could

00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:40.080
be Intel's high-end gaming GPU we saw a

00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:42.320
z-GPU at ces but it was positively weak

00:04:40.080 --> 00:04:46.000
it appears that low power model could have just been paving the way for a high

00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:50.960
power model and that's the one we actually want so hurry it up Intel

00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:55.440
i want to see jensen tremble in his leather the Ethernet technology

00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:59.600
consortium has published specifications for the new 800 gigabit Ethernet

00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:04.639
standard if you have no context for what that means 800 gigabits a second

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:06.880
translates to a hundred gigabytes a second

00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:12.639
that's too much actually i'd like to take a step back can we can we slow down here it's just the specs so far and this

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:16.080
tech probably won't be in consumer products for like

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:20.800
a decade so put your pants back on for now and then take them off again because

00:05:18.479 --> 00:05:25.759
this smart toilet has sensors that will be able to detect health issues and

00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:30.639
identify you from your unique this is not i did not make up this word okay

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:33.919
anal print they didn't make that up

00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:38.800
i know well they didn't make it up they're doing that for years

00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:41.440
so we can thank salvador dali for the idea he's the one who picked him up with

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:45.280
that word apparently he's a freak okay get that out of your

00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:49.440
mind we'll cleanse it with the news of an engineered enzyme that can break

00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:53.520
plastic down into its component materials which can then be used to

00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:57.440
create new plastic items do you like that don't you james i love life you

00:05:55.520 --> 00:06:01.520
