00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.879
no one knows what is isn't this ShortCircuit jono this is

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:09.360
TechLinked hot ShortCircuit get out of here

00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:13.360
get out god damn i hate that channel instagram

00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:16.720
is rolling out support for nfts this week because apparently they're tired of

00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:21.039
twitter hogging all the discourse about which social media platform is the worst

00:00:19.119 --> 00:00:26.480
nfts of artwork will be marked with a label that says digital collectible and

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:29.840
according to meta they'll also shimmer

00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:35.520
instagram is apparently even working to enable ar nfts so that you can liven up

00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:39.600
real world spaces in a sense facebook itself will also be offering nft soon

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:43.520
and we may even see them on whatsapp and facebook messenger as meta appears to be

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:48.079
attempting to try and make it appealing for creators to use its services as a

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:52.079
primary revenue stream the company reportedly has plans to allow buying and

00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:56.960
selling of nfts directly on its platforms we'll be sure to get right on

00:00:54.320 --> 00:01:00.399
creating an official Linus face nft for the highest bidder

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:04.720
man i would love to meet that guy speaking of social media we finally have

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:09.439
some specifics on elon musk's vision for twitter following his 44 billion

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:15.280
acquisition of the social media giant according to an investor pitch deck elon

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:17.360
is aiming to get 931 million users

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:22.159
super random number on to twitter by 2028 which would be over wait there's

00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:27.920
probably some significance to 9.31 is it a sex thing

00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:29.840
what is it it's 420 plus 69 times 4.

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:33.360
or 20 69 anyways it would be over four times as

00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:38.479
many users that are on the bird's side today he also wants revenue to increase

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

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:46.399
inflation is going now am i right

00:01:44.479 --> 00:01:50.240
expect twitter to push more subscription offerings as well as musk wants

00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:54.399
subscriptions to make up nearly half of twitter revenue to reduce the services

00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:58.399
reliance on advertising advertising it's unclear exactly how

00:01:56.320 --> 00:02:02.560
elon will get us to pay more money to be miserable online but then again people

00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:06.000
still play league of legends so and some potentially significant news for those

00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:10.399
of you struggling to avoid your monthly internet bill 20 isps which cover

00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:14.560
four-fifths of the u.s have agreed to either lower prices or raise their

00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:18.720
speeds with the idea being to allow lower-income households to have a solid

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:22.080
home connection for 30 bucks a month or less

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:25.920
industry giants such as verizon at t and comcast are all included in the program

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:29.920
which is available to any family making no more than twice the federal poverty

00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:33.280
level or families participating in certain public assistance programs it

00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:38.080
appears many folks should be able to get speeds in the 100 to 200 megabit range

00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:41.840
for that 30 per month price ceiling which is frankly

00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:44.959
awesome news can i complain about paying like double that for less speed up here

00:02:43.519 --> 00:02:48.560

00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:48.159
appeared in the SSD space it's none other than ASUS which posted a teaser on

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:55.040
its taiwanese facebook page regarding the upcoming rog strix squa seven it's

00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:56.879
an m.2 SSD that supports PCIe 4.0 and

00:03:55.040 --> 00:03:59.680
looks to have a base capacity of one terabyte although we don't have any

00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:04.080
independent numbers regarding performance ASUS reserves the strix

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

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:11.920
if it is it shall be strixin

00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:11.920
from the record

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:19.199
we have another adjustment in the expected launch date for Intel's arc

00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:24.160
desktop graphics cards based on a report from igor's lab look for them on shelves

00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:27.919
sometime in either july or august the new release window represents yet

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:32.080
another delay possibly due to software issues issues

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

00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:39.040
even longer than august and i just hope that we can get them from a retailer

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:43.520
from a reasonable price and not from someone who also scalps yeezys as their

00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:47.600
side hustle if you had issues with xbox live this weekend you weren't alone as

00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:51.280
the network suffered two outages the first started on friday afternoon and

00:04:49.280 --> 00:04:55.360
wasn't resolved until saturday morning oh the worst time

00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:59.040
with the second outage starting just a few hours later and extending well into

00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:03.680
the night some users were even having problems with video streaming apps like

00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:05.360
netflix and offline play what's next a

00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:09.120
smart treadmill that won't let you run without a connection

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

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:18.240
you'd expect features like Android auto and apple carplay to be standard kit on

00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:22.320
higher end makes like bmw but the german company is actually now shipping some

00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:26.400
cars without them because of the current chip shortage given how expensive bmws

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

00:05:28.320 --> 00:05:35.280
cars currently sold without these features will be getting them via a

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:36.840
software update by the end of june what

00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:41.440
but i thought it was a chip problem you wouldn't download a car but

00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:44.720
you can download extra chips for your car

00:05:44.880 --> 00:05:51.440
and ransomware has shut down a u.s college permanently after a cyber attack

00:05:49.520 --> 00:05:56.240
crippled most of its critical systems in december lincoln college a small private school

00:05:54.320 --> 00:06:00.000
in downstate illinois was already struggling with the financial impact of

00:05:57.840 --> 00:06:04.400
the pandemic and the ransomware fiasco apparently broke the camel's back after

00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:07.039
157 year run the good news is that i imagine students

00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:11.919
will be off the hook for those outrageous loans

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

00:06:14.479 --> 00:06:19.680
back on wednesday for more tech news freshly scraped from the creamy center

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

00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:28.160
wrote instead of jonno ruining it so can i start ShortCircuit now no you can

00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:32.479
