1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,839
the tech news can be intimidating but today we're facing our fears

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:12,000
and challenging the tech news in single combat show yourself czech news

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,000
fight me you coward get him james

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:18,800
NVIDIA's plan to buy ARM and become the world's most powerful mobile chip maker

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:22,480
you're starting to hit some mighty powerful snags as it turns out

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,439
governments around the world aren't exactly eager to give

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:32,000
that much market power to just one company can you imagine how smug jensen

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:33,200
would be his kitchen would be so opulent

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,680
at the heart of the issue is the fact that NVIDIA directly competes with many

10
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,600
companies that have bought chip designs from ARM raising serious concerns that NVIDIA

11
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,000
would effectively end up controlling the market if the deal went through with the

12
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:47,600
us the uk china and european union sure to take a very

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,120
close look at the details because of that i picked that up so i

14
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:54,800
just went with it whatever having one company dominate the market

15
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,920
could also raise cyber security eyebrows as well

16
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,879
not concerns eyebrows so i wouldn't be too shocked if the deal ultimately

17
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:07,280
doesn't work out even if NVIDIA's lawyers try to strong-ARM the issue

18
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:12,320
there was a huge amount of backlash after microsoft announced that it was going to jack up the price of an xbox

19
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,000
live subscription by a factor of two understandable considering many

20
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,799
people are in a tough financial circumstance this year due to the pandemic and the fact that more people

21
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:22,799
are staying at home playing video games i mean okay okay that kind of makes sense

22
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:27,360
then period well it's like demand is going up so all right

23
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,640
the good news though is that microsoft has changed its mind it is

24
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:34,560
not only keeping the existing pricing the same but as even

25
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:37,520
letting players play free-to-play games on multiplayer without a paid xbox live

26
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,600
subscription just a 180. hey squeaky wheel gets the

27
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:46,720
grease seeing as some very popular titles like apex legends and 498 fall into this

28
00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:50,640
category console gamers seem pretty happy with the whole deal

29
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:54,799
so i guess our parents were wrong complaining does work

30
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:58,159
especially regarding video games you could have been more wrong about this

31
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,240
whole video game thing mom i get paid and the screen is this close

32
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:06,320
to my face by design are you the proud owner of a shiny new

33
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,840
iphone 12 have you had heart surgery done in the past

34
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:14,000
wow uh be extra careful seriously because the next time you snap a photo

35
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:15,920
um you could be in danger for your health

36
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:19,760
apple has released a statement to consumers warning them to not have their gadgets sitting too close to their

37
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:25,120
pacemakers according to the company you should keep your iphone at least six inches away

38
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,239
or a whole foot if the iphone is in a wireless charging state

39
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:32,239
the statement comes after another report that the iphone 12 and other magsafe

40
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:36,000
products interfered with a defibrillator implant so while apple says the risk

41
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,599
isn't larger than it has been with some of its earlier products you may not

42
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:44,879
want to keep the phone in your breast pocket also if you bend over it falls out wait

43
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,840
which earlier products were dangerous we'll never know today's quickbooks are

44
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,920
brought to you by the commuter 2 portable bluetooth speaker from cove

45
00:02:49,680 --> 00:03:00,089
good god apparently it can get pretty loud riley hit it

46
00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:06,159
that was a legit trip it features up to 7 hour battery life is water resistant

47
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,879
and has a built-in microphone so you can hold it like that like a shake weight

48
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:13,360
and talk right into it plus 30 feet of range but what really

49
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:16,800
makes this difference is check this out you can break it in half you don't even

50
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,080
have to do an ARM impersonation to do it when combined they create a 360 degree

51
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:24,720
sound but when you separate them they become a perfect left and right

52
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:27,440
stereo speakers that's 100 pretty cool

53
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,519
use code tech 68 and get over 67 off because our codes can't have decimal

54
00:03:28,799 --> 00:03:33,200
places you get that off of the cove commuter 2.

55
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,400
what a great speaker while the link is below quickbits is my

56
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:41,440
boyfriend we have a few more details on Intel's upcoming chips although the release of

57
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:45,519
rocket lake is just around the corner its replacement alder lake is due out in september and

58
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:51,040
will require a new lga 1700 socket although at least

59
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:56,959
it will also come with support for ddr5 and pci express 5.0 okay

60
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:01,200
team blue beating team red to the market with a new feature i feel like i've been

61
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:05,200
transported back to 2013. you know that big hotfix for cyberpunk

62
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,239
2077 that was supposed to make the game suck less maybe it did that in some

63
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:13,360
respects but it introduced a whole new problem that actually breaks the game

64
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,720
at one point a conversation that's critical to the plot never happens

65
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:21,359
making it literally impossible to advance in the game it's like cd projekt red used dynamite

66
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:26,800
to kill a spider like i did that one time back at nam

67
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:30,479
i'm missing a baby toe and if you often watch netflix on an Android phone you're

68
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,360
in luck if you care at all about the audio experience as netflix has just

69
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,479
pushed out an update enabling more advanced audio codecs on

70
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:41,040
its app the company has said that this will deliver studio quality sound that's not

71
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:45,280
only better on headphones and external speakers but will also make things sound

72
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:48,160
clearer on built-in phone speakers so you might actually be able to tell what

73
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:52,080
queen elizabeth is saying in the clown i cannot understand her

74
00:04:50,479 --> 00:04:58,720
accent this is written by an american obviously like she's so easy to understand you

75
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,720
wrote this yeah but you're not american

76
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:07,919
that's how we say it in my house although the uk government may have had good intentions when it bought over a

77
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:11,039
million low-cost laptops to distribute to underprivileged students so that they

78
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:16,720
could continue their studies from home during the pandemic they may want to think twice about who

79
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:22,320
they get them from as it's been reported that many of them are infected with a nearly

80
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:26,160
decade-old piece of malware does that actually say what what i'm not

81
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:30,320
not doing that what did they dredge these up from the

82
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:35,360
bottom of the river times is it teams that's pretty good femmes

83
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,880
and the ftc has started to hand out fines to operators

84
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:42,240
of scalper bots but don't get too excited we're not talking about the same

85
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,759
ones buying up the graphics cards lately these finds are targeted at people who

86
00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:50,800
automatically sculpt movies sports and event tickets

87
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,080
so boomer stuff definitely a good idea

88
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,600
but i'd rather the ftc just find the bots themselves more

89
00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:01,520
forward thinking you know then they can get actual real jobs

90
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,039
get embodied already and work at the till

91
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,720
i don't want to interact with you through a screen

92
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:12,400
that's our show come back wednesday for more exciting tech news without the

93
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,400
outrageous markup
