00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,879
no one knows what is isn't this ShortCircuit jono this is

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:09,360
TechLinked hot ShortCircuit get out of here

3
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:13,360
get out god damn i hate that channel instagram

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:16,720
is rolling out support for nfts this week because apparently they're tired of

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:21,039
twitter hogging all the discourse about which social media platform is the worst

6
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:26,480
nfts of artwork will be marked with a label that says digital collectible and

7
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:29,840
according to meta they'll also shimmer

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:35,520
instagram is apparently even working to enable ar nfts so that you can liven up

9
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:39,600
real world spaces in a sense facebook itself will also be offering nft soon

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:43,520
and we may even see them on whatsapp and facebook messenger as meta appears to be

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:48,079
attempting to try and make it appealing for creators to use its services as a

12
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:52,079
primary revenue stream the company reportedly has plans to allow buying and

13
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:56,960
selling of nfts directly on its platforms we'll be sure to get right on

14
00:00:54,320 --> 00:01:00,399
creating an official Linus face nft for the highest bidder

15
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:04,720
man i would love to meet that guy speaking of social media we finally have

16
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:09,439
some specifics on elon musk's vision for twitter following his 44 billion

17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:15,280
acquisition of the social media giant according to an investor pitch deck elon

18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:17,360
is aiming to get 931 million users

19
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:22,159
super random number on to twitter by 2028 which would be over wait there's

20
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:27,920
probably some significance to 9.31 is it a sex thing

21
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:29,840
what is it it's 420 plus 69 times 4.

22
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,360
or 20 69 anyways it would be over four times as

23
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:38,479
many users that are on the bird's side today he also wants revenue to increase

24
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:41,920
by over five times by the same date and he may be on track to get there the way

25
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:46,399
inflation is going now am i right

26
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:50,240
expect twitter to push more subscription offerings as well as musk wants

27
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:54,399
subscriptions to make up nearly half of twitter revenue to reduce the services

28
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:58,399
reliance on advertising advertising it's unclear exactly how

29
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:02,560
elon will get us to pay more money to be miserable online but then again people

30
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:06,000
still play league of legends so and some potentially significant news for those

31
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:10,399
of you struggling to avoid your monthly internet bill 20 isps which cover

32
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:14,560
four-fifths of the u.s have agreed to either lower prices or raise their

33
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:18,720
speeds with the idea being to allow lower-income households to have a solid

34
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:22,080
home connection for 30 bucks a month or less

35
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:25,920
industry giants such as verizon at t and comcast are all included in the program

36
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,920
which is available to any family making no more than twice the federal poverty

37
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:33,280
level or families participating in certain public assistance programs it

38
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:38,080
appears many folks should be able to get speeds in the 100 to 200 megabit range

39
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:41,840
for that 30 per month price ceiling which is frankly

40
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,959
awesome news can i complain about paying like double that for less speed up here

41
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:48,560

55
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:48,159
appeared in the SSD space it's none other than ASUS which posted a teaser on

56
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:55,040
its taiwanese facebook page regarding the upcoming rog strix squa seven it's

57
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,879
an m.2 SSD that supports PCIe 4.0 and

58
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,680
looks to have a base capacity of one terabyte although we don't have any

59
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:04,080
independent numbers regarding performance ASUS reserves the strix

60
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:09,040
branding for its high-end product so i'd be surprised if it ends up being a dud

61
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,920
if it is it shall be strixin

62
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,920
from the record

63
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:19,199
we have another adjustment in the expected launch date for Intel's arc

64
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:24,160
desktop graphics cards based on a report from igor's lab look for them on shelves

65
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:27,919
sometime in either july or august the new release window represents yet

66
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:32,080
another delay possibly due to software issues issues

67
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:35,919
such as problems with a driver there's also a chance that we may have to wait

68
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:39,040
even longer than august and i just hope that we can get them from a retailer

69
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:43,520
from a reasonable price and not from someone who also scalps yeezys as their

70
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:47,600
side hustle if you had issues with xbox live this weekend you weren't alone as

71
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:51,280
the network suffered two outages the first started on friday afternoon and

72
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:55,360
wasn't resolved until saturday morning oh the worst time

73
00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:59,040
with the second outage starting just a few hours later and extending well into

74
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:03,680
the night some users were even having problems with video streaming apps like

75
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:05,360
netflix and offline play what's next a

76
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:09,120
smart treadmill that won't let you run without a connection

77
00:05:07,039 --> 00:05:13,520
is this a real thing i don't john wrote this is this like a peloton is that what

78
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:18,240
you'd expect features like Android auto and apple carplay to be standard kit on

79
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:22,320
higher end makes like bmw but the german company is actually now shipping some

80
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:26,400
cars without them because of the current chip shortage given how expensive bmws

81
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,000
tend to be the move is sure to ruffle some feathers but the good news is that

82
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:35,280
cars currently sold without these features will be getting them via a

83
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,840
software update by the end of june what

84
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:41,440
but i thought it was a chip problem you wouldn't download a car but

85
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:44,720
you can download extra chips for your car

86
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:51,440
and ransomware has shut down a u.s college permanently after a cyber attack

87
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:56,240
crippled most of its critical systems in december lincoln college a small private school

88
00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:00,000
in downstate illinois was already struggling with the financial impact of

89
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:04,400
the pandemic and the ransomware fiasco apparently broke the camel's back after

90
00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:07,039
157 year run the good news is that i imagine students

91
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:11,919
will be off the hook for those outrageous loans

92
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:16,080
john's on fire today and i know it's outrageous but this episode is over come

93
00:06:14,479 --> 00:06:19,680
back on wednesday for more tech news freshly scraped from the creamy center

94
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:23,759
of a black hole so yeah this would have made sense in if i did the intro that i

95
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:28,160
wrote instead of jonno ruining it so can i start ShortCircuit now no you can

96
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:32,479
never start short circles now it's a bad place it's a grape i'm never coming back
