00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.920
hi i can't help but notice you haven't had your tech news today

00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:10.240
and that's a problem i'm upset apple's m1 processor is only a

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:14.000
few months old but it's already being attacked by malware designed

00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:20.400
specifically for the new macbook pro macbook air and mac mini come on our

00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:22.320
babies it's a baby it seems that the m1

00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:26.880
gold rush that saw developers scrambling to release versions of their apps that

00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:30.400
could natively run on m1 systems also prompted the bad guys to do the same

00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:36.640
with viruses the news comes from mac security researcher patrick wardle and security

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:40.800
firm red canary but strangely malwarebytes also reported this week

00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:47.280
that detections of malware in macOS overall decreased by 38 in 2020.

00:00:44.559 --> 00:00:52.640
i read you so 38 of our developers switch gears to making m1 malware and

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

00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:02.719
think so then why are m1 max discounted at several retailers right now huh i

00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:05.760
know economics bill gates

00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.640
conspiracies your lizard scales are

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:11.439
showing kill gates we haven't reported on epic

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:15.840
games versus apple shenanigans for a while but it seems like this story cycle

00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:19.600
is spinning up again as epic has filed a complaint with the european commission

00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:24.400
over what they see as apple's monopolistic app store practices

00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:29.759
what did i say monopolistic but that's not all north

00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:33.840
dakota or dakara as raleigh would say it also put forward a state bill this week

00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:38.000
that would if past prevent apple and google from taking a cut of the sales

00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:42.000
from the iOS app store and the google play stores respectively the bill's

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:47.200
draft was actually put forward by a lobbyist hired by epic games although

00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:50.960
epic said the bill was actually the work of the coalition for app fairness which

00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:55.439
is basically a group of companies that epic got together to help them fight

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

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:04.799
a great club you joined please not a shell company similar bills are being

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:09.599
put forward in arizona and georgia so if you think this whole thing is over well

00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:13.680
maybe it's just beginning georgia the state georgia maybe they're

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

00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:22.400
facebook are starting to get desperate to avoid a world in which they're forced

00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:26.000
by a proposed australian legislation to pay news publishers for linking to their

00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:31.520
articles the news publishers articles not google and facebook articles i mean come on

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:35.440
australia's supposed to be chill come on boys in retaliation for the bill

00:02:33.519 --> 00:02:40.239
facebook has blocked aussie users from sharing or even seeing news content on

00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:44.319
facebook at all and australian publishers have had all the links to

00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:48.319
their content blocked as well facebook announced the news with a blog post

00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:51.840
hilariously titled changes to sharing and viewing news on facebook in

00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:56.080
australia we're just doing some changes okay it's all right it's pretty clear

00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:59.440
actually meanwhile google is wheeling and dealing with aussie news publishers

00:02:57.519 --> 00:03:04.000
trying to get enough of them to agree to receive some google cash for appearing

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:08.239
in google news showcase instead of getting straight up paid to show up in

00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:11.840
search they have made a deal with news corp the media company owned by rupert

00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:16.400
murdoch but it's unclear whether the australian bill will still go through

00:03:14.480 --> 00:03:20.720
let's hope they figure something out though the thought of my mates down

00:03:18.239 --> 00:03:25.360
under having to use bing is making me sicker than a washed up wallaby

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

00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:33.760
oh yeah now it's time for quick bits brought to you by the drop sennheiser

00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:38.959

the classics hd598 and hd600 headphones

00:03:38.959 --> 00:03:45.519
for clearer audio whether you're playing games or music the pc37x has a noise

00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:49.280
cancelling mic optimized to handle unpleasant pops and hisses

00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:53.280
and it automatically mutes when you rotate it upwards plus the 10 foot

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

00:04:09.920 --> 00:04:15.760
downgraded the features of its free tier with users who don't pay for a premium

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:20.400
subscription now limited to using the password manager on only one type of

00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:25.600
device so you can either use it on phones tablets and smart watches or on

00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:30.000
desktops and laptops etc thankfully there are a number of other great free

00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:34.880
password boundaries out there so we don't need to use this but wait if

00:04:31.919 --> 00:04:38.479
the ipad pro is a laptop could you what about a surface pro

00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:42.720
microsoft is releasing an update that would allow select legacy xbox one

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

00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:50.800
and series x which is a pretty great deal given that no original game code

00:04:48.479 --> 00:04:55.120
was altered the tech called FPS boost affects game game performance at the

00:04:52.560 --> 00:05:01.280
direct 3d level for this initial rollout only five games are supported far cry 4

00:04:57.520 --> 00:05:03.360
watchdogs 2 ufc 4 sniper elite 4 and new

00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:07.759
super lucky's tail that last one is definitely not an FPS but maybe there's

00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:11.400
dlc coming where you get a gatling gun or something new new

00:05:11.440 --> 00:05:18.960
samsung says their new hbm2 memory has an included ai processor with up to 1.2

00:05:16.479 --> 00:05:22.639
teraflops of computing power which can take on tasks like moving data between

00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:26.080
memory and processors that are normally managed by a CPU

00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:32.240
uh-huh sure what's next samsung my RGB strip getting

00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:35.600

00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:41.600
vice president of facebook reality Labs andrew boz bosworth indicated during

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:46.080
instagram q a session that the oculus quest 2 could be updated to support a

00:05:43.440 --> 00:05:50.240
120 hertz refresh rate the quest ii original refresh rate was up to 72hz

00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:55.520
before it was updated to 90. okay cool but my question is

00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:58.800
when does it stop oculus when the valve index drops to half the

00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:02.240
price because the quest two is getting so good okay that would be good yeah

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

00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:12.160
positive in a blatant attempt to trick steam users into thinking their game's

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:17.199
reviews were very positive when in fact said reviews were mixed has been banned

00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:21.600
from the platform the developer tweeted that valve banned them from manipulating

00:06:19.039 --> 00:06:25.440
reviews and they absolutely disagree with this accusation and you know what

00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:31.039
they might have a point let's hear them out both sides have something to say

00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:34.800
