the tech news can be intimidating but today we're facing our fears

00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:12.000
and challenging the tech news in single combat show yourself czech news

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:12.000
fight me you coward get him james

00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:18.800
NVIDIA's plan to buy ARM and become the world's most powerful mobile chip maker

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:22.480
you're starting to hit some mighty powerful snags as it turns out

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:25.439
governments around the world aren't exactly eager to give

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:32.000
that much market power to just one company can you imagine how smug jensen

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:33.200
would be his kitchen would be so opulent

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.680
at the heart of the issue is the fact that NVIDIA directly competes with many

00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:39.600
companies that have bought chip designs from ARM raising serious concerns that NVIDIA

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:44.000
would effectively end up controlling the market if the deal went through with the

00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:47.600
us the uk china and european union sure to take a very

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:51.120
close look at the details because of that i picked that up so i

00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:54.800
just went with it whatever having one company dominate the market

00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:57.920
could also raise cyber security eyebrows as well

00:00:56.160 --> 00:01:00.879
not concerns eyebrows so i wouldn't be too shocked if the deal ultimately

00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:07.280
doesn't work out even if NVIDIA's lawyers try to strong-ARM the issue

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

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:16.000
live subscription by a factor of two understandable considering many

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

00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:22.799
are staying at home playing video games i mean okay okay that kind of makes sense

00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:27.360
then period well it's like demand is going up so all right

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.640
the good news though is that microsoft has changed its mind it is

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:34.560
not only keeping the existing pricing the same but as even

00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:37.520
letting players play free-to-play games on multiplayer without a paid xbox live

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:41.600
subscription just a 180. hey squeaky wheel gets the

00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:46.720
grease seeing as some very popular titles like apex legends and 498 fall into this

00:01:45.119 --> 00:01:50.640
category console gamers seem pretty happy with the whole deal

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:54.799
so i guess our parents were wrong complaining does work

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:58.159
especially regarding video games you could have been more wrong about this

00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:02.240
whole video game thing mom i get paid and the screen is this close

00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:06.320
to my face by design are you the proud owner of a shiny new

00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:09.840
iphone 12 have you had heart surgery done in the past

00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:14.000
wow uh be extra careful seriously because the next time you snap a photo

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:15.920
um you could be in danger for your health

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

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:25.120
pacemakers according to the company you should keep your iphone at least six inches away

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:28.239
or a whole foot if the iphone is in a wireless charging state

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:32.239
the statement comes after another report that the iphone 12 and other magsafe

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:36.000
products interfered with a defibrillator implant so while apple says the risk

00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:39.599
isn't larger than it has been with some of its earlier products you may not

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

00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:47.840
which earlier products were dangerous we'll never know today's quickbooks are

00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.920
brought to you by the commuter 2 portable bluetooth speaker from cove

00:02:49.680 --> 00:03:00.089
good god apparently it can get pretty loud riley hit it

00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:06.159
that was a legit trip it features up to 7 hour battery life is water resistant

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

00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:13.360
and talk right into it plus 30 feet of range but what really

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

00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:20.080
have to do an ARM impersonation to do it when combined they create a 360 degree

00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:24.720
sound but when you separate them they become a perfect left and right

00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:27.440
stereo speakers that's 100 pretty cool

00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:29.519
use code tech 68 and get over 67 off because our codes can't have decimal

00:03:28.799 --> 00:03:33.200
places you get that off of the cove commuter 2.

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:36.400
what a great speaker while the link is below quickbits is my

00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:41.440
boyfriend we have a few more details on Intel's upcoming chips although the release of

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

00:03:44.640 --> 00:03:51.040
will require a new lga 1700 socket although at least

00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:56.959
it will also come with support for ddr5 and pci express 5.0 okay

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

00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:05.200
transported back to 2013. you know that big hotfix for cyberpunk

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:08.239
2077 that was supposed to make the game suck less maybe it did that in some

00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:13.360
respects but it introduced a whole new problem that actually breaks the game

00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:16.720
at one point a conversation that's critical to the plot never happens

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

00:04:20.400 --> 00:04:26.800
to kill a spider like i did that one time back at nam

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

00:04:28.880 --> 00:04:33.360
in luck if you care at all about the audio experience as netflix has just

00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.479
pushed out an update enabling more advanced audio codecs on

00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:41.040
its app the company has said that this will deliver studio quality sound that's not

00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:45.280
only better on headphones and external speakers but will also make things sound

00:04:42.880 --> 00:04:48.160
clearer on built-in phone speakers so you might actually be able to tell what

00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:52.080
queen elizabeth is saying in the clown i cannot understand her

00:04:50.479 --> 00:04:58.720
accent this is written by an american obviously like she's so easy to understand you

00:04:54.960 --> 00:04:58.720
wrote this yeah but you're not american

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

00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:11.039
million low-cost laptops to distribute to underprivileged students so that they

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

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

00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:26.160
decade-old piece of malware does that actually say what what i'm not

00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:30.320
not doing that what did they dredge these up from the

00:05:28.320 --> 00:05:35.360
bottom of the river times is it teams that's pretty good femmes

00:05:33.520 --> 00:05:38.880
and the ftc has started to hand out fines to operators

00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:42.240
of scalper bots but don't get too excited we're not talking about the same

00:05:40.320 --> 00:05:45.759
ones buying up the graphics cards lately these finds are targeted at people who

00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:50.800
automatically sculpt movies sports and event tickets

00:05:47.440 --> 00:05:52.080
so boomer stuff definitely a good idea

00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:55.600
but i'd rather the ftc just find the bots themselves more

00:05:54.320 --> 00:06:01.520
forward thinking you know then they can get actual real jobs

00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:03.039
get embodied already and work at the till

00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:06.720
i don't want to interact with you through a screen

00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:12.400
that's our show come back wednesday for more exciting tech news without the

00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:12.400
outrageous markup
