00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,920
hi i can't help but notice you haven't had your tech news today

2
00:00:04,319 --> 00:00:10,240
and that's a problem i'm upset apple's m1 processor is only a

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:14,000
few months old but it's already being attacked by malware designed

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:20,400
specifically for the new macbook pro macbook air and mac mini come on our

5
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:22,320
babies it's a baby it seems that the m1

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:26,880
gold rush that saw developers scrambling to release versions of their apps that

7
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:30,400
could natively run on m1 systems also prompted the bad guys to do the same

8
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:36,640
with viruses the news comes from mac security researcher patrick wardle and security

9
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:40,800
firm red canary but strangely malwarebytes also reported this week

10
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:47,280
that detections of malware in macOS overall decreased by 38 in 2020.

11
00:00:44,559 --> 00:00:52,640
i read you so 38 of our developers switch gears to making m1 malware and

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:57,440
now it's just coming out okay ah that's how it works the system works you don't

13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:02,719
think so then why are m1 max discounted at several retailers right now huh i

14
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:05,760
know economics bill gates

15
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:06,640
conspiracies your lizard scales are

16
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:11,439
showing kill gates we haven't reported on epic

17
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:15,840
games versus apple shenanigans for a while but it seems like this story cycle

18
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:19,600
is spinning up again as epic has filed a complaint with the european commission

19
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:24,400
over what they see as apple's monopolistic app store practices

20
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:29,759
what did i say monopolistic but that's not all north

21
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:33,840
dakota or dakara as raleigh would say it also put forward a state bill this week

22
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:38,000
that would if past prevent apple and google from taking a cut of the sales

23
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:42,000
from the iOS app store and the google play stores respectively the bill's

24
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:47,200
draft was actually put forward by a lobbyist hired by epic games although

25
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:50,960
epic said the bill was actually the work of the coalition for app fairness which

26
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,439
is basically a group of companies that epic got together to help them fight

27
00:01:52,479 --> 00:02:00,880
apple same diff it wasn't me it was the club i started and pretty much run it's

28
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,799
a great club you joined please not a shell company similar bills are being

29
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:09,599
put forward in arizona and georgia so if you think this whole thing is over well

30
00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:13,680
maybe it's just beginning georgia the state georgia maybe they're

31
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:18,000
doing in the country of georgia i don't know crazy kids over there and google and

32
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:22,400
facebook are starting to get desperate to avoid a world in which they're forced

33
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:26,000
by a proposed australian legislation to pay news publishers for linking to their

34
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:31,520
articles the news publishers articles not google and facebook articles i mean come on

35
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:35,440
australia's supposed to be chill come on boys in retaliation for the bill

36
00:02:33,519 --> 00:02:40,239
facebook has blocked aussie users from sharing or even seeing news content on

37
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:44,319
facebook at all and australian publishers have had all the links to

38
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:48,319
their content blocked as well facebook announced the news with a blog post

39
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:51,840
hilariously titled changes to sharing and viewing news on facebook in

40
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:56,080
australia we're just doing some changes okay it's all right it's pretty clear

41
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:59,440
actually meanwhile google is wheeling and dealing with aussie news publishers

42
00:02:57,519 --> 00:03:04,000
trying to get enough of them to agree to receive some google cash for appearing

43
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:08,239
in google news showcase instead of getting straight up paid to show up in

44
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:11,840
search they have made a deal with news corp the media company owned by rupert

45
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:16,400
murdoch but it's unclear whether the australian bill will still go through

46
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:20,720
let's hope they figure something out though the thought of my mates down

47
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:25,360
under having to use bing is making me sicker than a washed up wallaby

48
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:28,640
if you ever seen one they're quite sick and when they're washed up they're gross

49
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:33,760
oh yeah now it's time for quick bits brought to you by the drop sennheiser

00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,799
the classics hd598 and hd600 headphones

52
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:45,519
for clearer audio whether you're playing games or music the pc37x has a noise

53
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:49,280
cancelling mic optimized to handle unpleasant pops and hisses

54
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:53,280
and it automatically mutes when you rotate it upwards plus the 10 foot

55
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:57,760
braided cable leaves you lots of room to shake your head in frustration when you

look they're just quick bits man lastpass has

59
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,760
downgraded the features of its free tier with users who don't pay for a premium

60
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,400
subscription now limited to using the password manager on only one type of

61
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:25,600
device so you can either use it on phones tablets and smart watches or on

62
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:30,000
desktops and laptops etc thankfully there are a number of other great free

63
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:34,880
password boundaries out there so we don't need to use this but wait if

64
00:04:31,919 --> 00:04:38,479
the ipad pro is a laptop could you what about a surface pro

65
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:42,720
microsoft is releasing an update that would allow select legacy xbox one

66
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:46,479
titles to run at two to four times their original frame rate on the xbox series s

67
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:50,800
and series x which is a pretty great deal given that no original game code

68
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:55,120
was altered the tech called FPS boost affects game game performance at the

69
00:04:52,560 --> 00:05:01,280
direct 3d level for this initial rollout only five games are supported far cry 4

70
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:03,360
watchdogs 2 ufc 4 sniper elite 4 and new

71
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:07,759
super lucky's tail that last one is definitely not an FPS but maybe there's

72
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:11,400
dlc coming where you get a gatling gun or something new new

73
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:18,960
samsung says their new hbm2 memory has an included ai processor with up to 1.2

74
00:05:16,479 --> 00:05:22,639
teraflops of computing power which can take on tasks like moving data between

75
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:26,080
memory and processors that are normally managed by a CPU

76
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:32,240
uh-huh sure what's next samsung my RGB strip getting

77
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:35,600

vice president of facebook reality Labs andrew boz bosworth indicated during

80
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:46,080
instagram q a session that the oculus quest 2 could be updated to support a

81
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:50,240
120 hertz refresh rate the quest ii original refresh rate was up to 72hz

82
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:55,520
before it was updated to 90. okay cool but my question is

83
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:58,800
when does it stop oculus when the valve index drops to half the

84
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,240
price because the quest two is getting so good okay that would be good yeah

85
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:07,919
that would be a good place to stop that's a good place to stop and a developer who named their company very

86
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:12,160
positive in a blatant attempt to trick steam users into thinking their game's

87
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:17,199
reviews were very positive when in fact said reviews were mixed has been banned

88
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:21,600
from the platform the developer tweeted that valve banned them from manipulating

89
00:06:19,039 --> 00:06:25,440
reviews and they absolutely disagree with this accusation and you know what

90
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:31,039
they might have a point let's hear them out both sides have something to say
